  • Throughout the history of gaming, we have seen characters move around at just about every different type of speed you could possibly think of, ranging from super-slow heavy hitters to lightning-fast ninjas; truly, when it comes to how quickly you move your legs, no other medium comes close to the diversity found in video games.
    However, as much the creators try, true equality is something that can never be fully achieved, and in many cases, the faster characters tend to be the best in their respective games.
    Usually in The Most Powerful Characters In Gaming Ever series, I either focus on characters that are the strongest statistically and/or dominate their game. But for this, I decide to focus purely on speed and nothing else.

    To give you some perspective of how fast 4000 km/h is, that’s faster than the SR-71 Blackbird, the fastest aircraft driven with a mechanical jet engine.

    There's a glitch in the original Doom that makes pinkies so fast, they can run up to you and bite you to death in a single frame. I believe there's also a glitch that can do the exact opposite - make them so slow it takes literal minutes for them to move just a few feet.
    Side note: I still find it strange that young me was so terrified of pinkies, I refused to play Doom without god mode on for the longest time.

    You should check out CGN's AGDQ speedrun of F Zero GX back in 2014. Turns out that "go off the track for a speed boost" trick can not only be used almost anywhere, on any track with a flat enough surface...the speed boost can also be conserved without wrecking your vehicle. And it's _extremely_ hard to do. Sometimes the dude does it just for fun, even though it's not a marathon-friendly trick in the slightest.
    One of the coolest speedruns you'll ever see, I guarantee it.

    I got that Majora's Mask glitch by accident too! Nice seeing someone else talking about it.
    I have a little more to add to that, actually: it doesn't just affect human Link's speed. In fact, it seems like the glitch mixes up the speed of Link's forms for some reason? I remember Deku Link getting really slow afterward. I think maybe the reason human Link is so fast is because he somehow got Deku Link's speed?

    Oh shit, Grandia 2.
    13:35 - To be fair, I am pretty sure he was an afterthought in the original release, with the real final boss being one of the things you fight before it. I've heard that Steam re-release adds Hard mode which soups up bosses here and there, including giving Zera stupid high ACT.

  • @MrEvilbyte
    @MrEvilbyte Před 7 měsíci +9

    Multi part boss battles in Grandia pretty much boil down to "AoE the boss to death before it tries to do so to your party". In the first game, AoE's kept delaying all the parts, giving you more then enough space to land more and more AoE's (and often win without the boss getting a turn). AoE's also delayed the parts in Grandia 2 (but the boss could still fight back).
    As for Zera Valmar, he got super buffed on the Hard difficulty introduced in the remaster (the buff gave him that absurd speed, and more then doubled his HP).
    On the normal difficulty (or original versions of the game), yep, he's a total weaksauce final boss.

    Hey @whoisthisgit,
    I have an idea for your next Fastest Characters video.
    Warriors Orochi 1: Ling Tong has the fastest attacks in the whole game out of everyone, but have max 20 Impulse as one of your team abilities (Impulse increases team speed), have max 10 Agility on his weapon (Agility increases attack speed) and have Hideyoshi Toyotomi in your team and use his speed buff.
    Ling Tong becomes EVEN FASTER, so fast you can barely control him, it's INSANE but awesome! XD

    Tidus in Dissidia Final fantasy as well as Dissidia 012 can achieve truly amazing speeds with his EX-mode.
    According to the wiki, Joshu in Jojo bizzare adventure eyes of heaven can achieve the fastest movement speed in the game under the right circumstances.
    and lastly, In One Piece Pirate warriors 4, DLC character Yamato can move exeteremely fast with her WolfGirl transformation, that also give her unlinited dash gauge.

    Whenever I hear the Grandia II Final Boss theme, I think of the fight with Dr. Wily in an old Flash game called Mega Man NEXT. He's not even that hard to defeat in that game, using darkness and invisibility to try and hide as you blast him. Of course Wily wasn't the final boss.

  • @jvts8916

    One of, if not the most overpowered item in the entire Disgaea series comes from La Pucelle Tactics/Ragnarok. The Warp Engine that you get from obtaining the Demon Lord title is an equippable accessory that gives the user infinite movement and also ignore walls and holes and enemies on their way to the space they're moving to. The game does balance it out by making it give otherwise terrible stats. This can easily be avoided by realizing you can change equipment without the game counting it as an action, which will open the doors to making it even more useful once the player realizes that giving the Warp Engine to a character before they move gives them the previously described bonuses. So the ability to move to any space isn't limited to a single character, your whole army is getting this perk as long as you don't forget to remove it before attacking.

    And today for representation of speed-limit breaking characters we have antigravity cars (by the way, there is no need for excuses here. After all, we all know, that the fastest thing in the universe is a truck, that, as far as I know, doen't have self-consciousness. If he counts, anything else does too.), but also lightning-fast bruisers and... a giant moth? And chickens, that are quick to run from and, as it turns out, into battle. On a side note, something not quite related. The bit at 4:08 souns similar to music from Shining Force. Not surprising, considering that it's same composer, but interesting, how you can confirm creator by this tiny bits and pieces.

    With physics glitches, F Zero cars can go even faster than that, while still driving around the courses. It has to do with some weirdness with the accelerator button actually decelerating you after a certain point to keep you >2k kpm most of the time. The glitches all basically involve bypassing that by pressing the accelerator as little as possible while still pressing it enough to actually increase speed, trigger boosts, etc.
    If we ever get a new F Zero, I seriously hope they tap into this side of GX and let you go 4+k kpm on the regular, without needing glitches. Maybe only on an extra hard "Overclock" mode?

    Pretty coincidental that Fat Shark on max accel was the fastest on your freefall test when that machine AND max accel configuration is also considered the fastest non-custom machine in the game by speedrunners if using the Snaking strat.
    Also, that chicken from Landstalker must have been raised by VMDL to be that fast 😂

    Speaking of pokemon, some pokemon can get so fast that they outspeed Trick room due to a oversight that had existed since generation V. Any Pokemon that reaches 1809 speed will literally go first despite trick room being up.
    As for Zera Valimar him being so fast is a way to make up for the Action Economy that multiple character have over a singular one. Even if hey moved only slightly faster than you characters he would likely be much easier and have to have much more power to make up for his slowness. It is the same reason why many RPG bosses get two or more actions per round.

    • @VonFirflirch
      @VonFirflirch Před 5 měsíci

      I've grown to appreciate Etrian Odyssey for never giving bosses multiple turns, even though you have 5 characters. At most they'll have multiple parts or summon buddies.
      The rule of thumb, though, is that they really do believe in that "have much more power" part you brought up x)

    T.T. and Penta Penguin could be considered some of the borderline fastest kart racers in their corresponding games, having nearly max stats on all stats (Speed, Acceleration, and Handling).
    While T.T. received no nerfs in Diddy Kong Racing DS, Penta did get nerfed in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled out of concern for Online Play, so now Penta has the same stats as the Speed characters; Dingodile, Tiny Tiger, Crunch, Spyro, Nina Cortex, to name a few.

    If Ninjask was in Pokken, he'd be the most broken character in the game, full stop, it'd be Brawl Meta Knight all over again.
    I'd like to nominate an item: the Omega Drive from Terraria's Thorium Mod ! It's a reward from the true final boss of Thorium, and it jacks up your max speed to ridiculous levels. Normally, a large world will take a character about, i dunno, eight-ish minutes to cross on their own? More if they don't have boots or maybe less with the right wings? The Omega Drive cuts that time to under a minute. It's so fast you'll probably overshoot where you're going!
