What tragedy made you choose this path? What pain caused you to believe this was reasonable, my friend?
I guess I like to torture myself 🤷♂️
You have met a horrible fate, haven't you
Ahh, I posted before I saw that you beat me to it. 😂
This is this series' equivalent to an "anime series dedicated beach episode" and I love it. Blitzball is AWESOME
Hahahaa
How in the world do they breath underwater though? The Ture Question.
And it's not even a case of Blitzball and scuba equipment, Kiss scene has Yuna being just fine too.
@@tricmagic i think that's honestly boiled down to "bc Final Fantasy", as cop out of an answer as that is.
Many of the FF games, set in different worlds have their own share of odd logic we just quietly accept for the purpose of story telling.
In my mind, the people in Spira have really good breath-holding skills!
Am i the only one who enjoyed blitzball? I played it not because i felt obliged to get Wakka's weapon and atk reels, but because i actually genuinely liked this mini-game. Am i strange?
I’ll be honest
I loved it as a kid! Running around Spira trying out different players and finding the best ones was super enjoyable for me.
But now, playing it now as an adult, it’s sooooo repetitive and super easy once you understand the game
My brother and I loved it.
@@JamSac it's understandable actually. I played the game first time when i was 16 or so (i'm pretty old, yeah), replayed it several times during past 20 years, and maybe i don't grind blitzball like i used to in my first playthrough (i remember i had there characters at lvl75 or higher), but it is still fun for me. I just think people hate it too much, especially lately. A bit undeserved on my opinion. It's not such a horrible mini-game like most people think. There're even worse cases.
@@atomicgrave4340 there’s enough interesting mechanics and cool/fun RPG elements in it to warrant it a pretty awesome mini game in my opinion.
It’s just the difficulty and repetitiveness that needs adjusting
Would love to see a mod where someone fixes all of those issues and makes it actually challenging to play
@@JamSac yeah, seeing some mod would be nice, but because the game isn't popular enough i doubt we will see one. And that's the sad part actually. I watched enough of reviews and none of those reviewers say anything positive about the game. Mostly because of mandatory part in the story where it's very hard to win. Plus the tutorial part is hella confusing for the firstcomers (i actually didn't really pay attention to it and learned everything from the first-hand experience). I understand that all well, but it's still sad that people not only suggest but kinda demand new players to skip the mini-game altogether without paying it any attention because it's bad on their opinion. Such position always frustrated me, such injustice, but oh well...
I love the irony of everyone having really high catch, but really low block.
Really fun challenge. I personally have never done blitzball without recruiting Brother first. You put Brother in mid-field, and you will annihilate everyone.
Brother is the most OP player in my opinion
Kyou rhymes with though.
I originally signed him because I'd just learned that the Japanese word for dinosaur was "kyouryuu" and I knew it had to happen.
The reaction to the Al bhed psyches is such a mood
You’re insane. I almost lost my mind trying to get the Sigal for Wakka, I can’t imagine doing this
Man at 16:00 they not only decided to style on you, they decided to grind a few levels while they're there at it lol. Mad disrespect.
So rude right?!
Honestly man, brilliant video!! Loved it. Loved the whole job swap series so far to be honest.
Love the honesty early on about not being into spots as well, made it all the better for me. I'm a huge football fan, season ticket holder at my local team etc, and Final Fantasy is easily my favourite franchise. Been playing since late 90's.
Just goes to show you don't need to like sports to love Blitzball baybee!
Keepa has 99 SHT once he hits level 99, so clearly he's the best player you have. 😏
Lol was gonna say this cause its really hilarious that he get 99SHT at 99
He doesn't start getting shot til like level 80 or 90 something too. So it's really low then starts jumping like dozens of points over a few levels iirc. The ultimate sleeper pick in the draft!
Even more fun fact at level 80 he only has 35 sht so in 19levels he gains 64 sht
@@mitch.e2960 Now that's what I call... real SHT.
I like to imagine that Keepa was the kid that was always picked last and made the default goalie, but then you finally give him a chance to play and he's actually a really good player.
Your pronunciation of Miyu hurts my soul. But this is fantastic XD
the sad part is, keepa at lvl 99 is the best all around player in the game. 99 sht, 99 cat, like 72 end, insane hp. but he is just sooooo bad until late 60s
Keepa's got that chocobo in him
This is so dope, awesome job. Also I really like "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone in between"! Gonna start using that one
Miyu definitely came off this looking like Lebron James.
Blitzball Math
Roll an 11 sided dice with face values being a multiplier of 0.5 to 1.5, in .1 increments.
Roll that die for each stat every time stats are being compared.
AT = 10
EN = 12
AT rolls a 1.2 so actually attacks with a 12 instead of a 10.
END rolls a 0.7, so 8.4 even if rounded up is 9 (unsure which way they round).
So AT wins, (9-12) < or = 0
This applies to all stat matchups,
SH vs BL and CA
PA vs BL
AT vs EN
Except that EN/PA/SH don't roll, only AT/BL/CA do. Also they always round down on decimals.
FYI, in Japanese the name isn't very weird soundwise. In Japanese a u is used to prolong the o sound in many words. famous examples of this is both the names of the cities kyoto and tokyo. If the japanese spelling would be translated directly they would be spelled kyouto and toukyou. The Japanese pronounciation is is pretty much to double the length of the o sound.
I feel kinda offended and personally attacked. Why, you ask?
"Who plays bitzball to lvl 99?"
Well...I did. I was young, I was impressionable and I was in fucking love with blitzball (I had a phase where I didn't play FFX at all. just blitzball).
Maxed out the whole team to lvl 99 (btw. I had Kyou in my Team too, and I loved him. He is by far the best). Got all the strong players. Owned the league.
And then got bored as there is just no challange left. With a few good players you eventually start to win match after match. You then level pretty fast. And when your first player hits lvl 99, the enemy teams players will only have reached about lvl 50 (iirc).
So tbh - there's actually no challange left and no benefit for maxing out your players. It's just for the sake of having it done.
(just for the record - when I said I feel offended and personally attacked - that was irony. I was just kidding)
Hahaa dw I’m a massive hypocrite because I definitely had a lvl 99 team when I was very young 😂
i love this video!! your narration of the games is so funny and as someone who actually enjoyed playing it in ffx i was enjoying the espn style commentary lol
Taking keepers from every other team is an interesting strat honestly 🤣
I kept wondering why none of the other GKs were being let go
Then I remembered I boarded every other GK in Spira so they’d have no one to replace them with
Oops 😬
@@JamSac Low-key did yourself a favor in the long run. lol
LVL 99 blitzball is content! so much more fun than early game blitzball
The cut to Raudy asleep at the goal at 33:41 made me laugh so much..
Its crazy to see so many challenges recently on this old gem of a game I didnt realise people could push their limits much more for things like this honestly I couldnt even push my limits to grab the rest of the celestial weapons and all the super bosses I only did up to dark dark shiva and even that was enough for me heck I never even won one blitzball god only knows how to do that shit
Congrats on beating your crazy challenge!
THE LONG AWITED EPISODE thank you my KING
Almost certainly you will have an army of people telling you this, but if your joke about Kyou’s unpronounceable name is genuine confusion, you should know that it’s just a normal Japanese name! And in fact, Japanese names are really easy to pronounce once you know them, because once you know how to pronounce a letter or syllable in Japanese, you know how to pronounce it when you see it in any another place, because Japanese is pronounced consistently, unlike English! Ou is always a long O, as in “Oh.” and ky is pronounced “key”, but fast. So, kee-yoh! But together. Oh god I hope I got that right and don’t find out that I’ve been understanding Japanese wrong my whole life.
Hellyeah more FFX videos, keep up the amazing content buddy ❤
Are you okay? Are you in danger? Blink twice if you are
It always amused me that the story builds the Luca Goers up as the best team in the league, then you actually play the mini-game and find out how very not true that is.
15:34 Pure hilarity here. These videos have been awesome, can’t wait for more!
I had to pause there cos I couldn't stop laughing. Brilliant!
2:45 If I didn’t know any better, I’d say the creators of this game were foreign. Maybe Japanese?
What is Japanese? Is that one of those European accents?
Fun stuff! Have you considered extending the series to the "post-game" content, like the arena and the dark aeons? I know I'd be glad to watch it.
In the endgame characters get a bit homogeneous though so the theme of the run starts to break down a bit
@@IronBahamut Usually yes, but since most of the Superbosses don't care much about Magic or absorb everything thst isn't physical, there's a chance for the challenge to still go on somewhat and depending on who is picked for the final team, might even become harder
Awesome Video!!! Still find myself replaying this game more than any.
My favorite player was Linna with her Nap Shot 3 and Golden Arm combo. Sinking Half court shots like the Al Bhed Steph Curry. 😂
Thank you for suffering with the
Goalies Only Run so I didn't have to. ❤
I've played blitz that long, all teams reach lvl 99. That is quite a challenge to play at max stats. Greeds 😁
After a few times recruiting everyone in Spira, my preferred way to play blitzball is by using as many of the original Aurochs as possible, including Wakka who can be recruited off the airship. Except I can't deal with Keepa. He gets replaced by Miyu. She may start with lower CA than some of the others, but she already comes with Anti-Nap, Anti-Wither and Anti-Venom. And you can teach her Grip Gloves and Super Goalie almost immediately. She's awesome.
Like #100 here! :D (Never had it happen, thought it was nifty haha) Anyway, just starting the vid, super hyped! I used to love watching my older brother play blitzball games and we'd always joke about silly team compositions, I'm about to send him this video so we can discuss it later once he's free. Thank you again for this series of uploads, it's been brightening my days and I started playing FFX again for the dozenth time. xD Will we be seeing anything from X-2 in the future? Just wondering, love your work!
Ah that’s such a nice comment to read! So glad you like it
And if people want it then I’d deffo be down for an FFX-2 run!
I love Blitz Ball and might do this challenge. I did do a challenge before I really got into youtube.
Jesus... Praise be to Yevon.
While I am starting this video "That's a very good question !"
Why does everyone hate blitzball? I used to spend entire days just playing that alone
It's me personally but if I was having dead weight at RT, I would have put Keepa or Yuma there, depending on how much you value the 6 speed difference.
LF Miyu
RF Yuma
MF Kyou
LD Keepa
RD Durren
GK Jumal
This is to stack the odds in your favor, as Jumal is the BEST goalie from the ones you have available through free agency. It won't help you win, but it will help you NOT lose. Also Yuma is a woman, she's one of the two goalie's that's female.
Oh lets see keepa get his 99 shoot lmao hahahaah
Let's go!
Bro Jumal sucks ass. Had him trained until lv 20 only to get confirmation that he sucks ass. More Blitzball videos please!
His name sounds like "Joue Mal" in french. Which means "Plays Badly".
@@InsanityForce thank you for that fun fact! It makes so much sense now!
Blitzbal is one of the best games ever i did level up until level 80 i think. Great game love it
I know this a weird bit of knowledge, but I had the strategy guide for this and in the blitzball chapter they listed that Keepa actually levels up to 99 shot.
He does!
He ends up being one of the best players in the game which is WILD 🤪
You're hilarious 🤩
That's painful. the title should have been "I won a League of Blitzball with only Goalkeepers, so you don't have to." LMAO
Kyou isnt a goalkeeper.... he is a defender or atypically a mid.
The AI doesnt even hire him as a goalie
3:08 wondering how you pronounce that , (Kyou) is common enough in Japanese speech so when playing JRPGs and this comes up, just think of Japanese pronunciations.
My challenge is just using the Besaid team. I do have tidas though.
I always use Jamal on my team as goalkeeper 🤷🏻♀️
Imagine how good the team would be with Nimrook in place of Keepa and Wedge, I think you would have to TRY to LOSE.
hire every goal keeper so no one else has one
You could’ve done this at 99 so Keepa would have max shot, the highest in the game.
Would everyone else be better? Who knows.
im so sad this series is ending soon. do you have any plans to still upload afterwards?
Definitely
Now do it 2 more times for wakkas ultimate weapon and overdrive
I use Kyou in MF every play through. He’s the best tank/tackler ever.
he is best as defender. he isnt a goal keeper
Surprised this didn't degenerate into leveling Keepa to 99 to get him to 99 shot and claim his throne as Spira's #1 scorer.
Surprised pickahu face
I'm playing blitzball to lvl 99 🥺
Hahaa sorry! Didn’t mean to disrespect
You crack on and enjoy 😉
Okay okay hear me out. Can you beat a league with the base aurochs? No recruiting just the og team all the way. I'm not super familiar with blitzballs mechanics as i haven't played ff10 since i was 8. So it might not be that bad. But I'm curious.
You definitely can!
I’ve done it before and it was super fun and they’re actually quite strong once they level up
You can beat the first league, so yes, definitely.
Kyou I believe is meant to be pronounced "kee-yohh" based on Japanese phonetics.
Excuse me I play till level 99 n above
Wait the Albed Psyches are good? The same team that had so little confidence in themselves that they decided that kidnapping a summoner would be easier then beating a team who hadn't won a game in 20 years? Why?
Hahaa RIGHT?! Makes no sense
Always called him. K, you ?
Are you being held hostage and streaming these challenges is the only way to communicate with the outside? Make a celestial weapons run if yes…
before watching, wedge ends up best as a goalie, does he count?
nvm
Is my game bugged? lmao I get the ball the first blitzoff of each half but literally not a single time other than that. Every single time after the first is the enemy team.
If you score a goal the enemy team will always catch the ball in the next blitzoff :)
@@JamSac Oh... well at least I know Im doing something right, then! lmao
Even at level 20 tho Gazna Ronso can bite me cause I swear to god just let go of the ball PLEASE
I used to love playing blitzball back in the day. I had a save file dedicated solely to playing blitzball. I never reached full level 99s in the league, I never did anything cheesy to grind levels like pass the ball for the whole game. But I did get a few players to high 80s through just playing normally. All the nap techniques are OP. My opening for every game was to swim around and gather as many defenders as possible than use nap pass to put as many to sleep as possible then attack from there. I used drain tackle on defense to gain back hp to use as many nap passes as possible on offense.
Pretty sure Miyu and Kyou sound the same, they havd similar armour I think they go together like Biggs and Wedge. You're saying Miyu right.
I was such a spiteful queer as a kid with blitzball.
“You want me to play SPORTS? 💅🏼” Already down the path of fucking athletes and never watching em.
The explanation around 20:00 is completely wrong. Catch (and tackle) work within a 50% to 150% range of their value, but with a caveat. So, if you have 10 Catch, you will FOR SURE catch a shot of 5 or weaker. However, for some reason you can only go up to 14, not 15. Block is the exception, as it could go up to 15, but the formula for tackles and catch is basically FLOOR(value x (random 0.5~1.499999))
Also, I don't know why you keep dribbling after attempting breakthroughs when your main objective is to put the goalkeeper to sleep. Just shoot from a distance instead of risking to lose the ball on your next break.
