    My sister and I figured out this insane whammy combo involving using the moon trekker and the tow trucks specials in unison. Not only was their a super high chance of the enemy vehicle getting destroyed instantly, it did a massive ×179 whammy combo.

      @@michaelsantos8293 Player 1 is Bob O. and player 2 is Houston. Both players need to have their specials at the ready. Bob O. uses his Collector first, then Houston uses her Tow Hook to grab onto the enemy that is being hit with Bob O's special. Houston immediately gasses for it causing the strain on the Hook to do more and more damage the greater the distance. It is so powerful that there is little to no chance of survival unless the tow truck goes so far away that is either forces Bob O to lose them or the Tow Hook disconnects. That happened only rarely when we played but it was prone to happening.
      We we're only kids back on 2003 when we figured out that combo. I don't know if it was a glitch or what, but I assure you it works. At least on the Dreamcast version it did.

    Again, Congrats on over 1k in subs.
    Love the new list and how much went into it. I find it interesting Nina rose so highly due to countering Tracking weapons. Which her rival JT doesn't use, it's like pottery. Also learning that Molo's handling doesn't come from a code oversight, but simple cause Goodrich wanted to rip doughnuts in the bus. Now I kinda wonder how G-man or Convoy would fair if they had the same physic weirdness for mobility.
    And Dave's Cultsmen get their own special class. Dumpster Fire Cultsmen more like.

  • @neitron90
    @neitron90 Před 7 měsíci

    One thing to note is obake can ''instantly kill'' (drain all hp) from an enemy from full health. Try to get her vehicle facing the ground vertically and use the special. The hitboxes will continuously collide resulting in 0 health with really high sound pitch as the slicing sounds will also overlap, and still have time to escape some of the car explosions afterwards. Hard to master this though. Works best if the car is stuck/glitched in that position on something.

    Very nice video and very useful, good job 😊

  • @iseeallforme
    @iseeallforme Před 7 měsíci

    Before watching this video in full, my impression of the characters were as follows
    Sheila - B
    Sheila is very much a infighter, using the large capacity tantrum gun to combo with the combos to score whammies: this works fairly well with Interceptor missiles and bull's eye rockets, but less so with say the sky hammer mortar or the bruiser cannon. The tantrum gun itself is rather unremarkable on its own and its main selling point is good accuracy at close range. Not too bad, but there are better picks
    John Torque - A
    His unique weapon is pretty darn good and probably one of the best of the starters alongside Team FAST: the bullet is fast so it isn't too hard to hit, its damage is pretty good especially with the lucky shot. It isn't broken good, but it gets the job done
    Team FAST - A
    Team FAST's unique weapon is probably the best of the starters, as it homes and will likely hit the target unless the target goes indoors. Its damage is also insanely good, as it has the benefit of being one of the few weapons that can whammy on its own. It is held back by a long cooldown and a long wait before the missiles find their targets, but it's reliable in outdoor maps (less so in say Pennsylvanian Steel Mill or the Minnesotan Nuclear Plant). I'd argue that its chassis is a minus, as it's too squishy.
    Molo - C
    His smog check can be good if you can get a hit, as it can stall cars and allow for some nasty hits. Problem is that it's a short ranged weapon and Molo is of the slow beefy kind of character which doesn't work too well as Molo can't reliably close in for the smog angle.
    Dallas 13 - D
    If talking just the special weapon, Dallas 13's special weapon I rate as one of the worst alongside Dave's Cultist: its damage is pitiful for what it does, pushing enemy is a utility that is negated by Palamino being stuck dead while using the weapon and the lock up time is probably the thing that kills the special weapon.
    Nina Loco - B
    Nina's special weapon isn't particularly great: while it's one of the most accurate weapons in the game, its expected damage isn't that good since the car gets pushed out of the damage radius. Its slow missile time makes it a bit awkward for whammy setups, and I was a bit torn on putting this on C or low B.
    Bob O. - C
    Bob's special is the death grip: combined with the bruiser cannon's buckshot, anything that gets caught in the front gets mauled and anything that isn't Convoy, Molo or Garbage Man gets instawrecked, and even Convoy/Molo/Garbage Man gets wrecked by the buckshot. Problem is that Bob's vehicle is unwieldy and doesn't have the armor benefits that the other slow bruiser types get, and the weapon is an melee weapon. It has the ability to take off weapons, but who cares when you can just blow the crap out of the enemy with the buckshot combo.
    Garbage Man - C
    Basically the worse version of Bob O as it can't use the buckshot combo reliably, although it has better armor.
    R. Chase - B
    Time stop is a bit of an odd one, as the enemy becomes sitting duck for what ever combo you pull out of your arsenal. However, the weapon itself is a bit awkward to hit for being a 1 shot per crate, does no damage and its whammy potential is close to none by itself. Still, it can be alright in a larger map even when you're low on weapons as you can probably run out to get some more (in smaller maps, other enemies might cause trouble)
    Also congratulations and have a sub, it was a good memory ride

    • @iseeallforme
      @iseeallforme Před 7 měsíci

      Continuing my pre-view tier list
      Houston - S
      The tow cable's only down side is its low range, but once an enemy gets near, this instantly locks into the poor sap which gets dragged and take damage: the damage from the weapon alone is impressive, but even more so with the mortars or the missiles.
      Convoy - A
      Knockback isn't a utility that I don't rate so highly, but for slower vehicles like Convoy's one it is another defensive quality. Not only that, it also has a great reload speed so it can be spammed, and if fired at a right angle it can also do some surprisingly good damage. Probably on the lower side of A, but it's a good oh-shit-I-need-to-get-the-hell-out card
      Chassey Blue - A
      Star Power is a personal favorite of mine, laser shooting satellite is so cool. Not only that, its damage is fairly good, and its long duration makes it an insane whammy setter. If the first laser hits, it's almost guaranteed that it'll be a full shot so it's reliable and can hurt a lot. It does have its downsides, such as an awkward max range and one of the longest cooldowns for a special weapon and that kept it out of S.
      Boogey - A
      Pretty solid guided weapon, it is probably among the better of the As although it isn't particularly "special" in its mechanics except being a long lasting damage applier, which means you can use it for some whammies with the trusty missiles or rockets.
      Lord Clyde - S
      Clyde's Chain Lightning is basically the Houston's cable for the Coyotes: it's a guaranteed weapon that does darn good damage and also a whammy setter in a way that's probably even better as it keeps the target still rather than dragging them. Did I mention that it does good damage on its own too as it's one of the few self whammy weapons?
      Dave's Cultsmen - D
      This one is a stinker: being one of the reliable long-range guaranteed guided weapon, it is penalized by having shit damage, takes a long time to reload, and the vehicle is also a slow stinker.
      Obake - C
      A charge attack, Obake's weapon is interesting but I'd probably stick with John Torque's special weapon. It's hard to aim this thing which is the biggest bummer, and the damage isn't worth the trouble of trying to line up the enemy.
      Padre Destino - B
      For an near guarantee weapon this one's not so bad, although it doesn't have the oomph of some of the other iconic weapons. It also has a long set up time which can be bad, although it is useful if you got rearmed and ready to close the distance with the enemy for another round.
      Dusty Earth - A
      In honesty, Dusty Earth is a character I haven't much experience with: Obake was also not particularly well played but at least Obake's special weapon was iconic and its characteristics visible and straightforward. As for Dusty Earth's eagle, it's a different story: It's a near-guaranteed airborne which is a nasty utility that makes the enemy sitting duck for whatever is thrown at them, but doesn't have the oomph for whatever reason, even though it should be a pretty nasty weapon: when I get hit by one by the AI, it is more of an annoyance than a threat, but I could see it being a powerful weapon if the cooldown is not in the Chassey Blue level.

    Obake is too low I think, the speed and distance of her Rift Blade is too good, it has i-frames and the ability to go through walls and stage hazards. It can also escape certain specials/traps that hold you in place (ex: 9:35). I was watching some multiplayer matches and she was a menace, shredding everyone and being too fast to catch. lol

      Avoidance determines how difficult it is for a vehicle to be consistently targeted by opponents. It usually goes to faster, lighter vehicles. And it isn't so much how fast the vehicle is or how well you time your shots that matters, but the radar system in the game is less likely to target high-avoidance opponents.
