The fade to black before the stream is not to be missed. I hope Giant Bomb Unarchived will upload it soon.

@nickfoley: not at all. They just need to figure out that hallway. They're improving on the latest boss, standing on right side firing while he jumps around. All they need to do now is get the slide down for when he throws a rock/rocks fall and they'll be set. He doesn't have much life at all.

They're DEFINITELY getting better, but I genuinely don't know how they deal with the stress, let alone doing this shit live. I'm stressed WATCHING them.

Have they said anything about doing the other path when they finish this one? Playing with only the other characters?

@danryckert@vinny If you´re having problem with the third, three-combining-robots, guy´s spear attack, I noticed that you can look at its tank threads to more easily predict when it will change direction. It changes direction as soon as it reaches the edge of the screen.

Can be seen in the video at 31:07.

I think the double arm pump is the "seig heil" of the evil regime in this game.

Some say that coins only land heads or tails. Only the true gamer can reveal a third option: the coin's edge.

Dragonball Z Weather Man is my new favorite character.

And also makes me glad I'm one of those fans who can actually find the humor and laugh at the thing I love.

Hey guys, for the first stage of the joe fight in the monkey forest, when he does the spiral shooting that you guys can't predict, it looks like if you don't shoot him he won't spin shoot. Maybe like with his final form, don't shoot him when he's about to shoot? Might make that part easier.

@smackchopg: yeah you're right, and they've been told before, but either they're not reading the comments or are willing to take the risk to kill him quicker.

In the last corridor before the boss i find it easier to walk on the upper platforms. There are less enemies and you won't get sniped from above. Just run and gun it like the other corridors.

Wait. Can... Do the standard grunts shoot OVER Brownies standing hurt box? Can they actually not hit him on the same plain?

That might make Doom Hallway really easy.

I got to Bahamut at lunch and had to wait til I got home to finish watching that battle.

I was... I don't know if it was worth the wait.

No way, only reason he ever looks like he's carrying is because he has an insane double jump and a half sized hit box.

The 'Vinny the DBZ weatherman' bit was priceless. Makes me really wish Vinny will guest star on All Systems Goku soon...

@insectecutor: They tested it once but he didn't immediately stop spinning the second after they let go of the button so they decided shooting and spinning had no correlation.
