I've gotten quite a few comments about the loud sound at 33:22, I thought the onscreen warning would be enough but I wasn't thinking about people who were just listening to the video. I've gone ahead and removed the part of the video with it in youtube's built in editor, but it may take a while for the change to take effect. Sorry everyone.
Thank you. I was listening to this video while playing cookie clicker and that sound made me jump out of my chair.
you a real one
What sound?
what loud sound
Thanks for letting me know it worked
With how many time you can't cut inanimate objects with the wooden sword, it's weird that there are a few times were it just... works.
sometimes it's just sharper okay
I love ur profile picture❤
Sometimes Raiden doesn't feel the wood sword is sharp enough so he pulls out the belt sander from time to time
In r-04, in the lobby area, the launchers that are hiding behind the glass will be smashed instead of slashed when using the wooden sword so that's a nice detail.
"All of this just works. It just works!" -Todd Howard
"So we need to use the pole arm again to cut through here. Now time to fight Mistral." *Any new player's brain just broke*
Yeah 😂
well you gotta pretty much beat the game once to get the wooden sword
@@Kanakravaattiwhat? No. You just find the box guys
@@Kira-pv4xq which requires you to get to chapter 7...
@@Kira-pv4xqOne of them which is literally besides the last boss of the game.
0:38 quite literally better character development than like 80% of modern television
I like the funko pop version of Brittany from Pikmin 3 that you have as your profile picture.
The oldest trick in the book. A collection of metal gear rising speedrun tech and glitches, disguised as a challenge run. Nice!
at 18:49 the reason there are less missiles when jumping is because the game wants to put the missiles right in front of you to have you avoid them, but when you're in the air the game cant find any pathing for your character from the side of the building so it waits till you're on the "ground" again
Needed to wear blue suit without ripper mode
Nah, the suit is fucking sick
@@eu_estive_aquiyeah it fits for the challenge too
29:02 7 yakuza games, 1 judgment game, MGR, plants vs. zombies, and bloons td 6. all the games you really need in life.
nice to see a fellow RGG fan
okay but why does he have two shortcuts of yakuza kiwami?
@@DanielFerreira-ez8qd efficency
what about the hit game Team Fortress 2 or the hit game Titanfall 2
@@cade-music TF2 and TF2?
In the Sundowner fight, I never knew you could shoot with the drone when climbing. I always just tried dodging till I got to the top.
You can shoot? Bruhh
Fool
You are both idiots
Same. Also i didnt knew you could block Moonson's wheel of death
@@juliane.mfarias9285 yeah I thought you just had to wait it out till very recently. made my no-damage run a lot easier lol
When I tried doing Armstrong on revengeance for the first time, I beat the second phase after buying the white suit because apparently the health things help you reach the normally unobtainable damage to raiden threshold of like 400% I think
I feel I kinda ruined the game for myself by using that suit on the first playthrough
Yes. I actually did a sword run on Revengance, quite possibly one of the most annoying but fun challenges ever, each attempt for Jetstream Sam was worth 30 minutes
Fun fact: if you do the draw attack before a codec, it will keep the animation as long as you hold the button
How to do draw attack?
@@pandamenekhold m1
26:29 For this combo, usually I'd just insert a dodge between the second and third slashes, since Sam's sheathing animation provides ample time to get out of the blocking animation, and move to his side or back. This would do away with the waiting time that normally comes with blocking the third/fourth slashes as well, so you can get a little bit more damage in during the time span. 27:55 (PTSD from installing Enhanced Sam mods) Does parrying even have any meaning anymore........ Also, who could forget Ripper mode and its glorious ability to send Raiden flying with the Pole-arm or the aerial kick attack.
This game is such a masterpiece. Players are finding new skips and strats to get around everything to this day. I can't wait to suffer and do the wooden sword run myself (imma miss getting electrolytes and using the scissor blades ngl)
I used to say that my weapon is a tool of justice. Not a weapon, but a way to bring back those old fashioned values upon which we used to rely... *But this. Is a wooden sword.*
Snake: Finally learned something, huh?
I like how he’s talking about mistakes and then HIS WORLD starts playing 😅
When does it play? I'm not seeing it
@@mr.dripwalker8226 0:38 It's Solaris phase 2, the orchestral version of His World
casually dropped the hardest find your flame edit for raiden
i loved the sam fight with wooden sword, i don't remember how long it took me to beat but, being that it's a test of your swordsmanship in both gameplay and story, it felt so good not just to best him, but to style on him. i even uploaded it
the craziest challenge run I've attempted was a no-kill run using only the fox blade on revengeance difficulty... so many amputations...
Did I really kill them if they bled out?
@@TheOmegaRiddlerit's not blood, it's Cyber Juice
@@diegomedina9637 Gatorade
I still remember when MGR first got revealed and people were upset that it was so different, now the community has a soft spot for it
MGR fun fact: during the Monsoon fight if you deal too much damage right after he throws things at you, you'll skip the part where he launches his arm at you (the cutscene that says "I have won this") making him instead attacking with the vehicles. Second MGR fun fact: during Armstrong's first phase you can actually trigger the other phase just by staying alive for something like 2 30 minutes
Glad to see more metal gear rising videos recently, cuz i love this game so much, and it brought me to the metal gear solid series, rn completing mgsv phantom pain (which i want to 100%), you were one of the people i watched first to do a challange in metal gear rising cuz i couldn't find a better one and rewatched it 3 times :D
Really high effort video! I appreciate the editing, commentary, jokes, and even the inclusion of the fun facts and stuff. Really well done! Subbed😄
Funniest part of it is that its damage goes down when you upgrade it, but its instakill (yes, this is a feature of it, though it prob doesn't work on bosses) chance goes up.
Awesome video, the production quality is amazing and all the random facts are fun to learn about
Loved the way you edited the video and love even more all the sonic songs used!
11:52 bro rayman sings sexbomb frfr 🗣🔥🔥🔥
Man i wish this video got as much views as the last one did cause you really deserve it
The music you used throughout it practically my Playlist and I love it.
Sick video and AMAZING montage near the end!👍
i liked the part where Curve said "It's time for my revengeance" and revenged all over the place
I feel your pain on the Sam fight. I haven't done the entire game with the wooden sword, but I did beat Sam on Revengeance difficulty, hitless, using the wooden sword, with no consumables or secondaries, and I did the usual second phase instead of perfect parrying the charge. It was painful, but finishing it was SO worth it! Took about fifteen minutes on my winning attempt. EDIT: Forgot to say, I also didn't use ripper mode
The amount of sass in this video is refreshing. Quality audiovisual production, sir.
23:19 I'm pretty sure this is because Sundowner is just frozen in the air. If you look at 23:04, his body falls the moment the final swing connects. However with the wooden sword his body just stays there. There's no footage of this in the video but if you can test it yourself to see the comparison. I cant find his body afterwards though so I'm assuming it just disappears like a normal enemy. Either that or I'm blind.
Great video. I enjoyed it. Ps: ty for including music you used in video you are a legend 😭
Hearing so many Like a Dragon tracks and seeing so many games on your desktop makes me wonder why you haven't done more content on the series
Soon*
After playing the game for like 400 hours it shocked me to see how many fun facts I actually found on my own but the rest of the community was already aware of for very long.
You’ve earned a new sub
It's safe to say this video is an insane quality upload, good stuff man
THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING
Found few days ago, now one of my favorite videos
for some reason i really enjoy watching challenge videos of games i know absolutely nothing about and having that be my first experience. in a way, it kind of shows the full extents of the mechanics of a game and how far someone can humanely push something
Very many fun facts . Good video, needs more views
I like looking through the soundtracks in the description for the vids I watch, and I just see one titled: "The P*nis(Eek!). (In all seriousness tho, good vid, you are very skilled)
this is a good video format.. keep it up
It was at about fact #6 and I knew I had to sub. This is a great video.
"Mistral is the only boss who is defense-oriented." Sundowner Phase 1: "Am I just a joke to you?"
At 34:56 the Scott the Woz outro was so unexpected that it caused me to spit out my drink
I was thinking of doing this challenge myself, but on a semi-new game, basically just going through the game with minimal upgrades, getting wooden sword and then downgrading its damage with no other upgrades on hard, not sure if I'll be able to actually make a video out of it though. Loved this video though. 16:05 this part also reminded me of something that I somehow completely forgot about during the Monsoon fight, this is going to help me so much getting the Stormbringer achievement, I was always trying to just evade it but got hit by some stray explosion hitboxes that remained for a deceivingly long time. I remember blocking it in my very first playthrough (Keyboard + mouse, because I didn't have a controller at the time), but somehow forgot about it.
Just stumbled onto this channel looks good fr fr
Good vid, well done.
34:36 huge missed opportunity to say “My source is that I made it the fuck up.”
An amazing video! That right there is why you are the best Boss! The one and only!
Blessing our ears with the peak sonic sound track 🐺🐺🖤
Why isn't this popular?? This is amazing!! Editing on point, adding in some well-timed Sonic Frontiers Find your Flame, and dialogue is funny as hell 10/10. Edit- The Fun Metal Gear Rising Facts are the best things we need to see!
Those are some cool facts thank you
Awesome video ! As hard as it is to watch Sam’s death scene 😭💔
Ill be completely honest youre vids are not quite to my usual watching however good job so have a sub
that's an epic intro , didn't finnish video yet.
Genuinely i learned so many things I've heard about the game from this video
33:24 it specifically said loud, i still got scared
Loved the video
34:50 This happened to my brother when we were playing, and Raiden got stuck on 0% health during the QTE? And afterwards, once we entered the final phase, he immediately died before letting us restart in phase 3. It was weird
11:20 I want to add another Fun Metal Gear Rising Fact in the tripod section: In Very hard and Revengence, entering the vent at the end gives you a No-damage bonus. But in lower difficulties, doing the same won't. Instead, you have to trigger the alert, and avoid taking hits before entering the vent to get the no-damage tag, which makes this sections a bit harder in lower difficulties. You can trigger the alert by pressing Y in front of one of the guard.
This was a fun video to watch
Good job ❤MGR is one of my fav games too. I played it tio years ago. But at first i was a total noob and didnt know you can block until sundowner 😅
Dude your music taste is amazing, I liked the video very much
Shoot- I'm on alt
There :) subbed btw
I didn't know sundowner had a second phase for months until I listened to the soundtrack and was surprised his theme had lyrics.
I still wasnt ready for the Loud....
I can definitely see the Max0r inspired style, and I don't mean that in a bad way because your own style overshadows that in a fantastic way. You hit the nail on the fucking head here.
Holy shit, thank you for acknowledging the poor quality and props to you for remaking this better!
Crazy edits :0
When you 1v1 the guy who brought a metal pipe and you got your wooden stick
Using Solaris Phase 2 like it's the late 2000s. I like you already
"A blade's material does not determine its strength."
We instantly got hit with one of the Nazo Unleashed themes. 10/10
5:45 I'm pretty sure this isn't an oversight and is actually a feature of the game.
Violence breeds violence.
OUTSTANDING EDITING! Congrats Raiden Very Well Done!!
Hah, amazing edit!
Goddamn the editing is good
15:40 Alternate fun Metal Gear Rising fact You can actually ninja run away from the Monsoons vehicles
this. is. amazing.
I have just completed my first playthrough and the fun facts are all very interesting
Absolute banger

Never seen your stuff before, never played a metal gear game, probably never will. Still watched and was entertained the whole time. Great video my dude the production value is on point
Fun Fact Number 12 stings me hard. When I was going through to max rank all the VR missions, one of them is a gauntlet where you need to Zandatsu every single enemy. After getting through almost the whole thing, a Fenrir knifed its buddy *just* out of range for me to be considered for Zandatsu and I lost instantly. To make matters worse, I'm a keyboard/mouse user, so Zandatsu is a total bastard. I got every achievement in the end though. I'll share some small facts I've found during my playtime, just for fun: Dum Fact Number 1: It's possible to bullet parry Ray stage 2 for a very quick kill. Dum Fact Number 2: Under some circumstances, Monsoon can do his kick-you-into-the-air attack while his legs are disabled on the ground. Dum Fact Number 3: Longswordsmen in Sams DLC will always parry an aerial downward-spin attack (tap heavy attack in mid air). This happens, *even with their sword arm removed.* Dum Fact Number 4: It's possible to get hit while crossing the trigger to start the Ray stage 1 fight. This can let you start the fight with zero health, causing blade mode to... *not work*. Dum Fact Number 5: One of Blade Wolf's VR missions has an upper and lower floor. Enemies only spawn on the floor you currently occupy, and an enemy can be attracted to the lower floor if spamming jump at the right point. If he jumps down to investigate, he has no path to get back up top. And you can't kill him because getting close causes him to despawn until you're on the upper floor. Dum Fact Number 6: I don't have one, thanks for the video!
I just figured out the other day, if you have the blue wig (Infinite fuel cells) And do the Ripper blade mode thing, You can stay in a state of extremly slow time which makes pretty much EVERY fight in the game stupid easy. Monsoon is immune to it though since ripper mode cannot be turned off the entire fight, thus doing the exploit is impossible on monsoon.
yea figured it out too, you can make a 200+ damage combo on Armstrong with that, on like rare occasions
Before even watching this video I had attempted this myself and there were moments I had to switch to other blades to destroy certain obstacles so I don’t think it’s possible.
28:02 Ah yes the kill you whenever he feels like it move. Like sometimes you straight up die when he sheaths his sword(the frame the rocks spawn in the ground) with no reaction time lol
Damn, this shit is killer. Brings me back to grinding this game out on PS3. Great work man, seriously.
Fun Metal Gear Rising Fact: If you ninja run up Excelcsius on the correct angle you can accidentally jump into the fire pit of the arena. Dont worry if you run straight you'll be fine
my big brain found out that you can use the EM - GRENADE to cancel out monsoons purple aura thingy
Ahhh yes the challenge I did when I was younger that made me rage beyond. Took a few months for me to do it but I beat it. Never played since.
That intro speech went so hard wtf lmao
this is a masterpiece
Sonic Frontiers music, you got my like
This man out here beating up people with a stick lol
