The way this is going I actually expected Estele to somehow breeze trough the whole game in 5 videos.

Here's what I think happened. The AI difficulty is stored as an integer. Something like 5 is easy 50 is medium and 100 is hard. But the game adds or subtracts up to 6 points. By an underflow error her difficulty is now 255. Or it's a long int and her difficulty is around 4 Billion.
Or it's stupid random chance combined with a cursed game.

Her words are backed with NUKE.

gently caress this game. I never managed to play more than an hour past the first chapter with my friends.

The Roshambo bullshit is hilariously rigged. One game we all decided to only ever pick one of the choices for the entire game, so one of us would only pick scissors, etc. After, no joke, losing every single time in the first round after about 5 hours of this garbage game, on a whim we decided to pick a different thing, and naturally the computer picked the proper opposite.

Anyway, good luck with this LP, you mad man.
Except for Princess Tomato and Xenogears, I am convinced every game you play Janken is rigged.

Ever since Satan lost her weapon and been relegated to last place, she apparently discovered how to see the future, and waited until it was possible for the rolls to allow her to make a pact with Weber. She might be the Contact and scummed enough future possibilities just to land her at the perfect place to let her Id take over.

Dr. Moron knew. That's why he was buying those vanishes. Those prevent players from being able to attack you, right?
First selling his vanish just to mock you and then doing a 180 shortly after, like the game was dead set on making it happen. I think it also prevents encounters in empty spaces.

When this Satan returns to normal, Dan looks to be far behind without more levels.
The spells in the game are stated to cause 1 damage if they can hit the AI. Is that accurate?

Two weeks and Dr. Moron already recouped most of his losses from his fight with Satan, who summoned a monster invasion that took about 8 towns in one day.

It is more like it reads the turn order in Final Fantasy Tactics and automatically picks the most effective/fast move, while beating their nemesis' next turn.

A hard AI player would only go after the player. Not like the AI has anything to lose if another AI player wins.

I want to see a real fight between Wabbit shield and old school high single stat weapon/shield combo. How much of a damage reduction would 40 extra defense add?

I think the shield change was because Estelle finally caught up to first and Dr.M had to pass the torch by making himself weaker. He also might have done it so neither of you can steal his shield if you somehow got the upper hand.

The second half of the video is giving Dr.M money. Over half a million from some rich donors. I was surprised nobody got into debt this video and it looks like money is finally a small issue to repay. Estelle's outfit would be better without that dumb hat, but it does look like trolling when you lose to a giant two-faced wabbit.

The AI doesn't seem to be so good at the end game if you can catch up with Wabbit Shields. It is making errors like an idiot.

That badly timed Vanish was probably done for a different reason than waiting out the Devil Time. Would that have prevented the GDR from assassinating DR.M if he was visible?
