Matthew’s commitment to getting as many people as possible to enjoy his favorite game to its fullest is extremely cute I mean, he does it super professionally and with that patented surgical precision, but still, the heart of it is still a very wholesome sort of “look at my favorite thing here’s why you should love it too”
I'll chime in some tips I know just trying to fill some gaps here. Unite Bomb does have its own set of Stinger, Cyclone and Rising attack on MainWeapon, and they are available right away when Wonder Black joins the team without needing to unlock them. Matthew showed the Rising one which the bomb gets thrown to mid-air, but the other 2 are: Bomb Stinger - Throws the bomb *further* away at the latter direction of the Stinger motion. (Useful at times if you don't wanna get too close on those teleporting, dual-wielding enemies) Bomb Cyclone - Scatter 3 bombs around your squad.
I have over 200 hours in this game and I never knew about sending Wonder Liner into the crab's mouth. Not only have I never seen anyone else mention it before, but it feels obvious in retrospect. Shows how well though-out this game is.

All that stuff would be leaps and bounds ahead of the usual clickbait passionless drivel that is video game journalism and criticism outside of Zero Punctuation.
This video is at least 80% of why this game's combat finally clicked with me and I was able to turn these consolation prizes into silvers and higher. I cannot appreciate enough the usefulness of this video for anyone who wants to skillfully enjoy this game. Thanks you very very much for this great work!
My first playthrough of this game may have been the single most frustrating gaming experiences I've ever endured. As a bit of background, I've played and enjoyed Bayonetta 1 & 2, DMC 1, 3, 4 and 5, Demon's Souls (+DLC), Dark Souls 1, 2, 3 (+DLC) , Bloodborne (+DLC), Sekiro, Vanquish, Mad World, etc. I found W101 very opaque, noisy, inelegant, and tedious. I did this on Matthew's recommendation. I likely would not have finished the game if it hadn't been so highly touted by someone I regard as very thoughtful when it comes to these sorts of games. That being said, I'm glad this video exists. It may be the sole reason I continue to play W101. There were dozens of insightful tips and tricks provided here that will undoubtedly transform the way I approach further play. I can hardly believe that I'm actually excited to go back for more, now. Wish me luck.
I appreciate you continuing to play as a result of my recommendation. I hope you can come to terms with it whenever you decide to play it again. Good luck.
I just beat the game for the first time last night so I'm happily enjoying it without the video but I'm happy to leave a fat like and comment to help boost this good shit
I'd just like to offer my sincere thanks to Matthew for bringing my attention to this truly wonderful game. I've had a blast with it and it's now one of my favourite of the action genre so Matthew - THANK YOU!!
59:50 The key is to look for the camera change. If it remains right where it's at, it's a punch and you should block or dodge. If it changes, go for a jump. Kept on thinking the camera was broken causing me to die until I realized they were two separate moves. You start to get a feel for it. Likewise I found it simpler to get past the blue dragon attack by simplifying it in my mind to single button inputs, keeping an eye on Giga-Goojin and watching his hands to tell whether I should press ZR or B. It's a very apt "rub your head, pat your belly" move, but like you said before, a bit of practice and you've got it. Can't manage to get time with this one yet, even with the Kakoo-Regah, but at least I can make it through consistently without damage now.
Excellent video. The only thing I can really think of that I think this guide may have 'missed' would be some advice on the Vorkken fights, because I feel like those can be a serious wake-up call for players who aren't ready for it.
I finished The Wonderful 101 yesterday and wanted to thank you for giving me further incentives for playing it! I had one hell of a time and just jumped to this video to see the shump and space harrier sections' tips. Even on the Punch Out moments, made from a game I played through and throughout, you still had some new things to show me. Thank you very much, Matthew.
One general piece of info is that the larger the morph, the more damage it will do, but the shorter it will stay out. Also, Bomb stuns longer with a 50-man bomb than with a 100-man bomb. 100 just deals more damage.
In addition to making Unite Camp instantaneous, taunting also provides a damage boost to your team, unlike other games where it enrages enemies to increase combo.
for capturing enemies consistently this is what i do, wonder hand will always let you capture doughgoos, but wonder sword will cut them in half immediately so you cant recruit them
Thanks for this, Matt. I tried W101 on the WiiU and really didn't know what I was doing, and I haven't gotten around to trying the PC version, but it's in my library. I'm looking forward to having another go at this game!
when i met this game i thoght it was some gimmick bullshit with awful controls like the drawing in okami, and then i saw these videos, and that made me finally play the game, and now its one of my favorites. thank you for changing my mind.
Thanks this video is very useful!! I beated the game in just a few days once it was release. It was so good that just made me kept playing it non-stop. There is still so much stuff to learn and to unlock for me. Thank u for showing us more about what this game has to offer. So hard to believe it was a game that Kamiya had made 7 years ago. Still surpasses a lot of current games
After a lot more practice in level 1 with the weapons and abilities, I've gotten much better at this game. I feel like I've finally gotten the hang of the flow of combat. And when it works, it's very, very satisfying.
I was always going to play W101 when the remaster was successful, but your guide and reviews are fantastic accompanying content. I appreciate your efforts here.
that thing about the drill spring is good to know i was so annoyed when i figured that out, bloody turtles i would dodge away from them and still get stunned
Another tip for anyone struggling with 006B: On later playthroughs you might have the unite naginata unlocked permanently and it trivializes most of 006B as it completely blocks the small projectiles completely and destroys most enemies pretty fast.
Hi Matt! I wanted to say thank you to you and so many others! I Platinum ranked the entirety of normal mode the other day, and videos like this and others were instrumental in helping me achieving that. It could be pretty bullshit sometimes, but I had a good time overall, and seeing a shiny trophy at the end of each mission was always nice.
I'm currently finding all secrets and exploring the levels fully after finishing my first run. I'm so glad I found your original video, and that the remaster became true. What a great game.
1:03:16 that was how i played bayonetta the first time i realized they rate me after the prologue and the fastest i learned to just move on to the next chapter the better
stopped playing the game in the hopes that platinum would put out a 720p patch for switch but it looks like that isnt happening. thanks for the video, the bayo one was super helpful and i'm sure this will be too
Got the game for Christmas after years of being interested and I think this is exactly the video I needed. Stopping at general advice for now and will be back. 👍
Thanks for this, I love your videos and i can guarantee this will help alot of people. I have fortunately 100% the game on steam but I've got alot of prior experience with the wiiu version.
I can't appreciate this video enough, it's the perfect video to introduce beginners to this under rated gem of a video game, I even learned a lot from it too! Thanks.
Great video. I got all my tips and tricks to get plats/pure plats over the course of a couple weeks from /v/ and other forums, but this video would have been incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend it to those having trouble/those looking to "get good" at the game.
The Multiplayer Missions are actually an okay practice arena before fighting in any of them properly. It removes the need of meter/energy management but it also doesn't allow you to have all morphs (secret ones!) and some other things don't carry over into that mode at all. I recommend giving it a go.
The gun CAN also become harder to draw once you unlock the boomerang, that is if you draw it as two diferent lines (up,stop and right) instead of one line like matthew does in the video.
Attack liner will regen battery, and with battery converter will gain you health back. Against certain enemies this combination effectively makes you invincible.
Having now played the game with the PC release, I really think they shot themselves in the foot with a couple of things they didn't explain, most importantly the limitations of Unite Guts. I don't see how anything of value is added to the experience by letting new players get hit through their guard with no real explanation of why, it's just going to undermine their trust in their main defensive tool and cause massive frustration.
I went through this when I tried the game on WiiU, it was a big part of why I gave up. It wasn't until much later that I learned (from Matthew) that specifc attacks can and cannot be blocked.
Agreed with you on rank running this game. For me, I just go through the levels and if I happen to be doing well I just roll with it (although, I do retry if I got a continue) because this game out of all the platinum games really isn't user friendly to rank running especially on the boss fights which, I just found out, don't even have a checkpoint at the start of the operation so if your last save was in an entirely different mission when you retry, the game will take you back to that instead of the mission your on.
That comment about being trained to not block and to dodge roll resonates with me. Trying to get people to block in Vernal edge has been like pulling teeth.
Giving a lot of attention to a game that you know well and love is a great idea and it help a lot of people to apreciate the potential the game has, Thank you for that. still you said it has a lot of potential and there are lots of things can be discovered on multiple playthroughs, so i'll take your words and don't watch the video, because i love the feeling of satisfaction of finding things out by myself, and you should really try doing the same when you try Jagged Alliance 2 (1999). it's your call to play it the base version you get when you buy it, or the universally acclaimed by the community mod called "1.13", I say the mod is great but it changes a couple of immersive options in order to save time, like when you make your character, and that's the only thing i'm going to tell you. the less you know about it the better but there are things that i didn't found out and i've played it since 2001.
Great tips. Played through on Normal on the Switch, found it mostly enjoyable, with some frustrations. Not a huge fan of some sections like the indoors bits and the punch outs, but that may just change with time and practice. It was cool to go back to the first couple of stages when I'd progressed and get a gold instead of a consolation prize. Found out some stuff on my own like having the bomb secondary (that kind of feels like a must). I'll probably be replaying it casually to see where I can improve.
there are so many mechanics revealed in this video that the game should do a better job for. Had no idea bout zooming. What determines what heroes I should pick for each weapon? And how do i see all my heroes? how can i know what i have unlocked on each level? so many interface things!
It’s better explained as something piercing. Those fodder enemies don’t actually stab. They go for a slash, though I feel it’s a bit weird to think the equivalent of one person would actually break yer block
Speaking of battery synergy, energy converter + attack liner = never losing to Vorkken. Hit his mob as you morph, you’ll gain ridiculous amounts of health back.
Just goes to show how much care was put into the combat of this game. Completely blew my mind that you could fill up the crab’s mouth with the Wonderliner, platinum are goddamn geniuses
so does my mind work weird? i was able to jump into wonderful 101 and immediately understand what it wanted from me, and the only problems ive had is just typical stuff like certain encounters being tough
This is really wholesome stuff, thanks for the good content Matt. Anyway, I hate you and you're a bad person for saying bad things about DS2 that one time years ago.
@53:38 as ridiculous as it is you can guts blues attacks it would seem. Maybe cause it's technically not a delicious flan without the team forming it for you
I´ll follow your advice and go play the game by myself before finishing this video (even if i´m always starving for more Mathewmatosis content, maybe a quick stream could fix that? *wink wink*) I´m still waiting for my phisical copy for the kickstarters backers (my pc can´t run this game,, or any game period) and i´m pretty hyped up to play this, but i promise i will take my time to enjoy it to its fullest, both the game and all the videos you create about it, so keep them coming!
CHEAT CODES! Having trouble with them? Ok so I don't know where else on the internet to post this so I figure this is as good a place as any: the cheat code buttons were not working for me on the PS4 version, so finally I ended up reversing the directional inputs and sure enough that did the trick. I got the idea from some W101 steam forum, and I haven't heard it mentioned any where else. So im hoping that by leaving this comment it will spread the word. Hopefully it will help people avoid the annoyance that I experienced...
I think my only problem with drawing figures is at the quick time events where you can't see the figure completely and have a limited time to react, there have being many ocasions shere i have acidentally draw what the games interpretates as a spiral rather than a circle
@@thebuddah1253 yeah that's what i'm trying....the only problem during those quick time is when you try to get a high score and for some reason the "circle" turns to a "spiral" acording to the game
Formation Charge isn't that bad, you can charge formation charge while doing other things while holding the controller in a certain way, for example on the switch pro controller you can hold x to charge while still being able to press B and A for attacks and jumps or do anything really, this makes formation charge really interesting because you can charge it while you're combo'ing an enemy or waiting for your guts animation to finish
one of the most confusing elements of W101 is the 'ranking' system. it seems to give you new abilities seemingly at random, such as getting the jumping hammer attack when i wasn't using the hammer at all. also all the non-protagonist wonderful ones seem to have levels up and rankings too?
I've got a problem with the sub-screen in the definitive edition. It's really in the way and I have no idea how to get rid of it! I've tried numerous combinations of buttons and rooted through the menus, but all I did was make it transparent. Anyone know how to rid of it completely?
Matthew’s commitment to getting as many people as possible to enjoy his favorite game to its fullest is extremely cute

The Bayonetta video was immensely valuable so I’m glad you decided to do this one after some questioning

gonna watch the vid later
amazing, informative content. wow!

32:32 one other strat to smooth out awkward bits: when the drill dooras are in the ground you can use a vertical naginata to get them out fast
One general piece of info is that the larger the morph, the more damage it will do, but the shorter it will stay out.
Also, Bomb stuns longer with a 50-man bomb than with a 100-man bomb. 100 just deals more damage.
Thanks for creating more content about this game. Your review is my favorite piece of media on it and I’m glad to see as much of it as possible.
In addition to making Unite Camp instantaneous, taunting also provides a damage boost to your team, unlike other games where it enrages enemies to increase combo.
Unite Camp can be activated immediately (no delay when holding the button) if you use a taunt on an enemy.
for capturing enemies consistently this is what i do, wonder hand will always let you capture doughgoos, but wonder sword will cut them in half immediately so you cant recruit them
A game should not need an external tutorial like this - but I'm glad MattMo made one anyway
I'm beginning to form an impression that you really, really love the Wonderful 101 Matt.
it's entirely possible!
Appreciating W101 more and more by the minute. Thanks a lot for the armada of tips and hints! Juggling enemies makes a lot more sense now.
Thanks for this, Matt. I tried W101 on the WiiU and really didn't know what I was doing, and I haven't gotten around to trying the PC version, but it's in my library. I'm looking forward to having another go at this game!
3 months ago I was like Luka, now this is in my top 4 favorite games ever and most played switch game. Thank you irish

Thanks to you I bought the game day one after being hesitant, great job with your videos man!
that thing about the drill spring is good to know i was so annoyed when i figured that out, bloody turtles i would dodge away from them and still get stunned
Another tip for anyone struggling with 006B:
On later playthroughs you might have the unite naginata unlocked permanently and it trivializes most of 006B as it completely blocks the small projectiles completely and destroys most enemies pretty fast.

@@HideousCreation He's gotta release his bayo commentary first.
thanks for this. i always had trouble with the darned turtles but the stomp baiting trick looks promising.
Great video. I got all my tips and tricks to get plats/pure plats over the course of a couple weeks from /v/ and other forums, but this video would have been incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend it to those having trouble/those looking to "get good" at the game.
Are any of these archived? I absolutely love this game, and I always enjoy learning new info.
The Multiplayer Missions are actually an okay practice arena before fighting in any of them properly. It removes the need of meter/energy management but it also doesn't allow you to have all morphs (secret ones!) and some other things don't carry over into that mode at all.
I recommend giving it a go.
Thanks for all of your Wonderful 101 love, it convinced me to play and absolutely love the game.
Thanks Matthew! I was trying to get into this on your recommendation but I was struggling
I missed your long form content, please make more reviews of nintendo games :)
The gun CAN also become harder to draw once you unlock the boomerang, that is if you draw it as two diferent lines (up,stop and right) instead of one line like matthew does in the video.
The boomerang to the gun is like naginata to the sword, they're drawn very similarly but you need to pause the liner to trigger them
Good stuff. Would love a spoiler version sometime!
I just lost 74,000 souls to the Storm King, so having Matt remind me of another gem that got a remaster is nice
Holy crap, you need to spend those souls bruvah
Why were you holding that many???
@@cannonfodder4000 You ever get giddy before a boss and just can't wait to fight it? What's it called? Avarice?
Thank you, Matthew. I struggled with understanding combos a bit.
Attack liner will regen battery, and with battery converter will gain you health back. Against certain enemies this combination effectively makes you invincible.

The pudding shape may be more intuitive to a Japanese audience. I have to say I mistook it for a kettle weight the first time I saw it.
Agreed with you on rank running this game. For me, I just go through the levels and if I happen to be doing well I just roll with it (although, I do retry if I got a continue) because this game out of all the platinum games really isn't user friendly to rank running especially on the boss fights which, I just found out, don't even have a checkpoint at the start of the operation so if your last save was in an entirely different mission when you retry, the game will take you back to that instead of the mission your on.
Excellent video! I'll take some of these tips to my Hard playthrough :)
On the digging segment unite drill is fantastic! I definitely recommend that! You know soop much! Hope this helps.
That comment about being trained to not block and to dodge roll resonates with me. Trying to get people to block in Vernal edge has been like pulling teeth.
Giving a lot of attention to a game that you know well and love is a great idea and it help a lot of people to apreciate the potential the game has, Thank you for that.
still you said it has a lot of potential and there are lots of things can be discovered on multiple playthroughs, so i'll take your words and don't watch the video, because i love the feeling of satisfaction of finding things out by myself, and you should really try doing the same when you try Jagged Alliance 2 (1999).
it's your call to play it the base version you get when you buy it, or the universally acclaimed by the community mod called "1.13", I say the mod is great but it changes a couple of immersive options in order to save time, like when you make your character, and that's the only thing i'm going to tell you. the less you know about it the better but there are things that i didn't found out and i've played it since 2001.
Throwing does massive damage to an enemy, gets a decent amount of score, and is important agaisnt certain bosses that drop throwable counter items.
Super fun game, hope this video helps more people become more confident in playing
Great tips. Played through on Normal on the Switch, found it mostly enjoyable, with some frustrations.

What determines what heroes I should pick for each weapon? And how do i see all my heroes? how can i know what i have unlocked on each level? so many interface things!
The game wants you to play it. I figured most of these things out myself. Also the heroes don't matter.
Going to finally build a new PC today, so I should be able to play W101 soon. Leaving the video at 6 minutes for now.
Also a good tip with getting your team mates back. The Team Attack (Triangle or Y) can also get stunned team mates back.
I had no idea! thanks!
The game manages to contradict itself immediately by having a sharp attack (energy sword) blocked by guts.
I thought you couldn't use Guts either on the dragon's stomp or tail attacks 'cause they look sharp enough to pierce through it.
It’s better explained as something piercing. Those fodder enemies don’t actually stab. They go for a slash, though I feel it’s a bit weird to think the equivalent of one person would actually break yer block
29:05 Oh man, I remember when I almost shattered myself in school.
I remember an official video from the dev that's about 10 min explaining how to play. I cannot find it anymore so this will do.
I didn't enjoy Bayonetta until I saw Matt's vid on it and now Bayo is an all-time favorite for me. Here's hoping this is no different 👍
Speaking of battery synergy, energy converter + attack liner = never losing to Vorkken. Hit his mob as you morph, you’ll gain ridiculous amounts of health back.
Dang, I’ve played through this game like 3 times already and I still didn’t know some of the basic techniques in this video lol
Thanks for the info Matt!
So excited to watch this
I just completed a platinum run on 101% hard and I still didn't know some of this stuff!
Just goes to show how much care was put into the combat of this game. Completely blew my mind that you could fill up the crab’s mouth with the Wonderliner, platinum are goddamn geniuses
so does my mind work weird? i was able to jump into wonderful 101 and immediately understand what it wanted from me, and the only problems ive had is just typical stuff like certain encounters being tough
I hope this helps bring more people to the game!
This is really wholesome stuff, thanks for the good content Matt. Anyway, I hate you and you're a bad person for saying bad things about DS2 that one time years ago.
Don't quote me in this, but I think you can "Hero Counter" (push and hold toward attack just before it hits you) while in "Unite Guts".
For 001-C there are also big explosives that can be blown up with gun.
Using the attack liner during any of the Vorken fights heals you. At least it did in my normal playthrough.
he REALLY likes this game
31:32 pretty sure that dash doesnt cancel multi morphs if you tap it. only when you hold it and hear the whistle
good advice
@53:38 as ridiculous as it is you can guts blues attacks it would seem. Maybe cause it's technically not a delicious flan without the team forming it for you
I´ll follow your advice and go play the game by myself before finishing this video (even if i´m always starving for more Mathewmatosis content, maybe a quick stream could fix that? *wink wink*)
I´m still waiting for my phisical copy for the kickstarters backers (my pc can´t run this game,, or any game period) and i´m pretty hyped up to play this, but i promise i will take my time to enjoy it to its fullest, both the game and all the videos you create about it, so keep them coming!
Thanks for following my advice. I hope you enjoy the game and eventually enjoy the video too.
CHEAT CODES! Having trouble with them? Ok so I don't know where else on the internet to post this so I figure this is as good a place as any: the cheat code buttons were not working for me on the PS4 version, so finally I ended up reversing the directional inputs and sure enough that did the trick. I got the idea from some W101 steam forum, and I haven't heard it mentioned any where else. So im hoping that by leaving this comment it will spread the word. Hopefully it will help people avoid the annoyance that I experienced...
I think my only problem with drawing figures is at the quick time events where you can't see the figure completely and have a limited time to react, there have being many ocasions shere i have acidentally draw what the games interpretates as a spiral rather than a circle
You get the feeling for it. Dont bother trying to make the shape look right. Start trying to make your thumb make the shape itself.
@@thebuddah1253 yeah that's what i'm trying....the only problem during those quick time is when you try to get a high score and for some reason the "circle" turns to a "spiral" acording to the game
I hope you post a video on the main channel to point to this one. More exposure, ya know?
you're a genius
thanks matt
Hey Matthew you should contribute to the wiki. There's very little info available online about this game.
Formation Charge isn't that bad,
you can charge formation charge while doing other things while holding the controller in a certain way, for example on the switch pro controller you can hold x to charge while still being able to press B and A for attacks and jumps or do anything really, this makes formation charge really interesting because you can charge it while you're combo'ing an enemy or waiting for your guts animation to finish
"'I'll be back"
Lol that "review" stating that they never found much use for Unite Guts, made me laugh.
one of the most confusing elements of W101 is the 'ranking' system. it seems to give you new abilities seemingly at random, such as getting the jumping hammer attack when i wasn't using the hammer at all. also all the non-protagonist wonderful ones seem to have levels up and rankings too?
I've got a problem with the sub-screen in the definitive edition. It's really in the way and I have no idea how to get rid of it! I've tried numerous combinations of buttons and rooted through the menus, but all I did was make it transparent. Anyone know how to rid of it completely?
Press the select equivalent on your controller.
