If the slow Machines are really less effective than other borgs, then maybe we should get them over with as quickly as possible. And if they're not any less effective then I want to see them kick rear end.

It's not so much that they're less effective, that was just a bad match-up for Proto King. You'll see what I mean when Episode 18 is finished. In the meantime, here's a new Arena Watch:

I think Mana was desperately trying to heal your Proto Panther during the Orochi fight, but you kept dodging until you died.

Machine Borgs are definitely the most interesting of the remaining clans.

Fortress and Dragon borgs seem nice to have, but not really to use. I know that if I played this game I'd be so excited to finally have a dragon, only to be very disappointed to find out it can barely move.

She probably was, that tends to happen when you're paying more attention to the enemies' shots than you're partner's moves.

Welcome to Gotcha Force, where that Borg that gave you so much trouble when the AI was using it is near useless once it's in your hands. Luckily it also goes the other way sometimes, or the game wouldn't be nearly as fun.

I come with a new look at some old fights, votes will apply to the next episode.

Episode 18B: Where Kou had been

There's some big differences coming up quickly in the plot involving the same fights. Would you all prefer to see them in one video or spread across different ones?

Noper Q

The differences demonstrated in this video were pretty subtle. If they're like that again, showing them side by side in the same video as the main playthrough would be useful. Otherwise, a separate video is fine.

The changes between these matches are a bit more obvious, but I put them in a single video because it makes a good opening for the Second Death Force Invasion.

Not in the normal Story, the AI commanders don't have the right borgs to create one. It's possible with some of them in the Special mode unlocked after a second play-through, but your best bet to use one is in Versus or Challenge mode with another human. I'll talk more about those later.

New Know Your Borg, I'll probably record the next full episode tomorrow.

Normal Ninja's best move is his downward strike from the air, does insane damage.

And yeah, I feel like the Protos are really a huge waste of roster slot space.

They're totally filler, though I wouldn't mind if more of them were like Proto Eagle and had different moves or weapons.

I think the only reason you got knocked down during Power Burst as Space Dragon was because you got hit by the giant bullet-things caught in your own black hole.

The video looked fine, I think. Did you change your workflow and expect something odd to happen?

Cyber/Machine Dragon + it heads are the dumbest borgs in the game.

No, I just wanted to make sure everything was working out on the viewer's end.

Whoops, don't know how I missed out on voting last time. Anyway, voting for Machines. You already had barely-moving borgs twice in a row.

This game's sped-up music isn't very good, but I didn't mind it. At least you shouldn't need to do that again, unless we vote for some dragon-duels later.

It's fun blowing the enemy away with impunity for a few matches at least.

Kind of hard to say... How much effort would it be to do live, and if the commentary ends up meh scrapping it and doing post?

If it's too much work then I vote for live.
