Pikmin - Emperor Bulblax
Re: Pikmin - Burrowing Snagret
I believe the snagret was the first Pikmin enemy that was a real threat to me. Incredible that your first encounter with them in the first game is three casually smushed together in the same little cove!

Although I suppose tanking everything works just as well.

"yeah, when you've got these amount of numbers, I don't think actually throwing them matters. Just swarm at that point."
Re: Pikmin - Wollywog
Right?
Don't get me wrong; I've been loving this series, but boy howdy, it's got its moments. In other news, the Red (Pikmin) Army slacks off by drinking (nectar) on the job.

Re: Pikmin - Beady Long Legs
Our cow's a bit of a butcher, but then again the game's been giving him enough corpses to feed his Red Wave tactics for now.
Also is the game glitched? Surely the Max 100 Pikmin popup shouldn't keep showing up day after day.

Re: Pikmin - Spotty Bulbear
raocow's thought of "don't i need yellows?" would be 100% right if this was pikmin 2. there is a puzzle in that game that is a harder version of this, and the goal actually Does need yellow pikmin as part of it.
also yea seeing the struggle of the Repair-type Bolt alone, i feel like (raocow don't look!!!)it's probably for the best mr. raocow didn't face the smoky progg??? if this place gave him so much strife with Just The Part That Has Absolutely No Enemies Between It
are you suggesting the water immune pikmin would be good??? in the water zone??? Why I'd Never /lh

Re: Pikmin - Spotty Bulbear
but it cannot be overstated how much the game does not want you to let pikmin remain on the ground around bulbears/wollywogs, and keeps on pushing that lesson every time it happens

Re: Pikmin - Spotty Bulbear
honestly as we're pikmin veterans we look at raocow doing these absolutely bonkers things and reacting like "how's he gonna make This work" and he, Invariably, Somehow Makes It Work without fail. is it the optimal "good" way to do it? like 99% of the time, Absolutely Not Holy Cow. but the fact that he's managed to brute force his way through things thru sheer tenacity alone Cannot be understated and especially can't be dismissed, all things considered? this dude is finding all the right solutions in literally all the wrong ways and it's both surprisingly ingenious (if hilariously inefficient and pikmin-sacrifice heavy) and Incredibly hilarious.
like, literally having enough of an army to simply steamroll minibosses like the Beady Long Legs and cover the losses. consistently swarming the enemies he should throw pikmin at and vice versa, yet still managing to make it out with more pikmin gained than he lost like 95% of the time. we genuinely didn't even Know it was possible to get the Radiation Canopy without having to fight the Armored Cannon Beetle if you just, had enough pikmin to tank things, and could sufficiently distract it/stun it--so of course raocow does it first thing and makes it out like it's Nothing. dude literally re-inventing the concept of red shirts in pikmin of all games of having a designated "will get totally obliterated but also will come right on back to wreck as much house before, in turn, getting wrecked themselves" task force. and then also, simultaneously, managing to invent the concept explosive enemies a whole game too early and lose like 20 yellow pikmin at once, but then still managing to cover that ridiculous loss.
like, is any of this the "best" way to do it? No. is it hilarious and fun to talk about? Absolutely Yes. while people who are sticklers for playing this game "right" may find it obnoxious... we feel like viewing it under the lens of "playing this game as technically correctly but also as incorrectly as possible" is absolutely a blast. ig the best summary is that "raocow is simply too silly to lose in this game" and that is 100% valid.
let this man play the game at his own pace--not just bc, y'know, no backseating in general--but also we think it is objectively more fun that, despite how unabashedly Scuffed this playthrough is, raocow is still managing to consistently get by, against literally all odds
did this make sense we hope this made sense last time we went on a tangent when we were only mostly awake like this it got someone really irrationally mad--

Re: Pikmin - Spotty Bulbear
Occasionally, I think "people who can't remember their first time playing a game shouldn't be allowed to watch blind LPs of it, for their own health", but that's hyperbole and what I really mean is just "I kinda wish these commenters would ease up".
Re: Pikmin - Spotty Bulbear
the idea of using "practice days" to figure out the puzzles and plan out what to do in the level before going for a real run really doesn't seem to cross his mind. It seems like he only resets the day when things go really, really badly, and I guess he doesn't want to ruin the challenge of the time limit too much by abusing the feature. Personally I prefer to avoid time limits in puzzle games wherever possible, and I like the feeling of being really efficient with my time after using practice days to figure out exactly what to do.
Still having fun watching it though. If anything it makes it more interesting to see how this game plays out in a very different play style than my own.
