1:18 the rumor is, one of the devs tried to kill a spider in their office with a hammer, and kept failing miserably. They programed the immunity into the game simply as a joke

Great video! With the hammer jump attacks, I'm sure I watched another video where it explains that one of the developers tried to kill a spider in the office by jumping around with a hammer (I think), missing and completely failing to kill it, so one of the other team coded this in as they thought it was funny. I don't think any type of spider in the game can be killed by a hammer jump attack for this reason!
-
Ok but the fact that an glitch causes you to attack with nothing on your hand but still applies all the status effects of the game including 2 BETA ABILITIES IS INSANE
-
mmmm yes STATS
-
This was extremely interesting, well explained, and well spoken. Your writing, delivery, and pacing were excellent. Great video.
-
The strongest thing in Hyrule is backshots to a furry
-
5:35 Gotta love bitfields
-
How did you know that this is the video I've wanted to watch for my entire life?
-
If you look at the structure of the damage values in code, the hammer jump slash is not only at the bottom, suggesting it was added last, possibly after the skulltula was finished, but it is in a sea of removed values, so it may have been missed.
-
considering that the Master Sword deals 2 damage in OoT (which means 1 damage is equal to 15 in BotW), this means that the highest Damage possible you can do here would be equal to 960 Damage in BotW
-
I never knew empty jumpslash was a thing! I thought it was just QPA that gave that glitched damage value.
-
All this time I thought you could only kill Wolfos by hitting them in the back.
-
8:30 so youre telling me i have been doing 32 dmg to those doggos all this time (i have been hitting their tail with well placed biggoron jumpslashes)
-
You have a knack for properly mixing knowledge and presentation. I consider myself pretty OOT/MM versed, but the way you format your videos felt like watching a great refresher course. I also love how you properly touch on math.
-
Wow! I had no idea butt attacks were so powerful.
-
I have another glitch to share: Whenever Daniel Baamonde gets excited, his voice takes up properties of Ceave Gaming's one.
-
8:07 Ah ok, now you have my attention. lol
-
I wonder if the value Iron Knuckles are weak to is supposed to be the value of unused Spirit Arrow/Soul Arrow
-
For anyone curious, the sword silhouette in the video thumbnail is a Kit Rae fantasy sword called Valermos, the Sword of Fire.
-
Clearly the most powerful attack was that one Iron Knuckle slash that killed my friend twice in a single hit. Dunno how, but it killed him, he revived with a fairy, and his hearts kept draining after. Never saw that happen before or since, so I assume that slash was personal.
