A tiny reference that went completely over my head the first five times; Blue calls Green "Cousteau", which happens to be the name of the guy who basically invented scuba diving. Fitting, huh?

But only if Blue shouts at him to shut up after he says it. Then it's perfect! :haw:

Huh, last time Blue ran off on his own he had to go into unlimited form to keep up, but here we see Red and Blue running around on their own without unlimited form and still beating the poo poo out of even that big guy at the end. Wonder what changed?

I'm amazed nobody mentioned the tone in his voice when Wonder-Red corrected Vorkken's calling him "Blunder-Red" that first time in the video.

He was grumbling and everything. It was amazing.

There's a big difference between two wonderful ones taking on the second easiest enemy in the game and one taking on a high-ranking geathjerk officer singlehandedly.

It's a shame Hello Winter's wonderful one drawings are on hiatus. :( I was looking forward to seeing what the Blossom City elementary kids would have made of Wonder Yellow. I guess the drawings during Blue's backstory will have to do instead.

Fine, I stand corrected. But I forget, did Blue going unlimited actually have an ingame effect?

Also, we have now seen two wonderful ones go it alone against standard enemies, and the only thing that not having unite morphs really did to them was reduce their range. Makes me wonder what yould happen if your team attacks had the full power of the wonderful ones behind it in combat. I mean Red was able to juggle the big bot without going unlimited, so what it everyone put that much power behind their regular attacks?

I bought a Wii U partially because this LP pushed me over the fence on getting Wonderful 101, and the game has not stopped putting a big dumb grin on my face up to a couple chapters past where the LP is now. If anything the grin has gotten bigger and dumber. It really is a very charming game and oozes classic cheesy heroism and I can't wait to finish it to see where it goes.

4B is also great because a Vorkken fight literally right out of the drat gate is an excellent way to open a segment.

Whassup got a Wii U partially because of this LP buddy :hfive: This game has a few weak operations but overall it has a really good, consistent level of quality and I'm super glad my brother got this for me as thanks for buying a Wii U. Also thanks to Chip I'm pretty sure I can actually make sense of this game, Platinum should just have a link to the first few videos instead of an online manual.

So yeah, thanks Chip. Thip. :)

Remember Unlimited Form is basically just a backup battery supply that refills your power and a sweet face mask. As super forms go it's not really all that great; but the Wonderful Ones are already super enough they don't really need to be more super.

Wonder Burnt Sienna- The Singed Master of Bombs
Wonder Salmon - The Smelly Master of Fish-Fu
Wonder Lavender - The Drowsy Master of Harps
Wonder Gray- The Elderly Master of Canes(maybe wheel chair. Because then you could run over people.)
Wonder Gold- The Greedy Master of Throwing Coins
Wonder Aquamarine- The Flippant Master of Flapping-Fins
Wonder Linen- The OCD Master of Cloth

Anyhow, name puns:

Ankho: 鮟鱇 (anko), goosefish.
Die-Rixen: 大陸戦 (dairikusen), "great land war", possibly short for 大陸戦車 (dairikusensha), "great land tank".

Oh, and then there's Immorta, but the pun in her name is kind of a spoiler so I'm gonna wait a few videos before posting that one.

I feel the same way about the company bearing the same name.

That's pretty great.

I think Wonder Blue's Valiantium Blade is just a normal steel sword that he got from his brother for his birthday, and his brother told him it was totally made from a magical metal called Valiantium that makes it stronger and sharper than any other sword.

It's games like these (and specifically, LPs like these) that actually make me want to pay for a console newer than the Gamecube. Between this and Revengeance, I'm a fan of Platinum Games already without even having played one.

I guess their voice actor budget was spent on the A-list VA's (Tara Strong, Quentin Flynn,etc.) so they scraped the bottom of the barrel.
