Final Fantasy 7: Vincent AND Barret Overflow Glitch!!

[resinate]

anyone notice the 8777 hp on cloud lol

[ThePheonixrain]

Amazing Man! i love your videos

[SocialistCatgirl]

So, practically speaking the overflow damage glitch causes the game to suddenly register the amount of damage dealt to any enemy to be essentially infinity, resulting in instant death. The reason it registers this as such is because you've inserted an undefined value into the damage counter. Frankly, I'm surprised this doesn't cause the game to freeze.

[larbox]

I don't know -- this seems like a cumbersome way to get Barrett to overflow. I guess in the end it's worth it if you're fighting Weapon or need to blast through Sephiroth's forms?

[Draztion]

so even in the english version, if you get over 65k kills with vincent, he kills everything (minus ruby) with 1 shot? does it hafta be a certain type of attack to do it?

[NY1love]

my barret is weak as hell with morph.... :X

[rashalfarid]

What happens if Vincent kills more than 65535 enemies? An overflow within an overflow?

STACKCEPTION

[er124656]

you get the underwater materia by morphing a ghost ship in the underwater reactor. also underwater materia can gain AP but it still counts as 0 AP in Barret's missing score.

[sindarkheart1]

were do you get the underwater-materia?

[TheParagonify]

Actually Barret doesn't have a limit. The Underwater-materia has no limit ^__^

[Eddygangsta330]

i get it get vincent hero drinks but first get death penalty then keep giving him hero drinks until he bursts then one hit kill away :D that makes everything easy

[Eddygangsta330]

0 kill wat O.O

[Eddygangsta330]

0 kill wat o.o

[TheDeathtacle]

Would getting 10M AP on the underwater materia be sufficient?

[Yuki1993snow]

= = |||

OMG ! Shocked !

[Rondorix]

....now pit overflowing-powered Barret and Vincent against Ruby Weapon.

[Codyray1992]

I love the "Underwater" materia, since it has no limit to how much ap it can get, you can probably do that overflow with Barret with it alone! Unless is somehow caps out at 999999. I haven't had the time/patience to get it that high.

[dRevan64]

You have XII in the description, not XIII.

Otherwise, this shit is legit.

[MrWanagethigh]

does fighting in the battle arena count towards vincents kills for the overflow glitch? or is it only good for getting bp

[Darkkefka]

Posted by Menmaverick on December 2, 2010:

@Dakkefka if you could write "prper" english i might understand your videos better, wtf are you "tryin" to say in the video description?

There's nothing wrong with my descritions. And yet.....you have not one, but TWO typos in this message......

[ChainsawVsGod]

@Darkkefka

There's nothin wrong with using "tryin". It's just slang.

[enricocostantini]

I think you can overflow ruby weapon too if you use barret and 7 knights of the round, and one underwater materia (with a LOT of AP)

[flamemaster95]

maybe stupid question, how do you know hen death penalty is complete?

[yamibalus]

@flamemaster95 There's a guy in a cave somewhere that can tell you how many enemies you've defeated... before you start leveling Death Penalty's power, talk to him, then go back from time to time and do the math to see how far in you are

[TheHardyzfan87]

@yamibalus hes near fort condor i think

[ctndu2]

quick! whats he's power level?

it's over 9999!!!

over 9999!?!?! thats impossible!!! =P

[javierr999]

excuse me I have two questions ...

first... might sound a little stupid but,... there really is a way to break damage limit then?

and second, is there any way of damaging ruby weapon without having his two arms behind?

[Waldimart]

Where can i buy that special controller? Is it from Thrustmaster?

[TheHardyzfan87]

@Waldimart what kind of name is thrustmaster?

[yamibalus]

@TheHardyzfan87 It's the name of a good game controller company lol, I have one for my PC and it works perfect for just about any game like this or any FPS games.

[TheHardyzfan87]

@yamibalus why would someone name their company thrustmaster lol

[bumoffhtestreet]

Is it true that any kills Vincent gets before you get the death penalty will not count toward maxing the death penalty out?

[MugenHeadNinja]

@bumoffhtestreet most likely

[Gharmos]

I think the idea behind this is, even though it only displays up to 9999 and caps at that, technically your weapon is capable of doing more than that.

I think overflow glitch only works if you do damage above 65536.

[14Kristian41]

@Gharmos that's why I use a gameshark code that takes off the limit, so I can do however much damage the guys can do :D

[sasukestk]

Hey cool.What's this progam controllers thing you were talking bout? Can you like make a tutorial?

[HittokiriBattousai17]

This is not cheating, is using the bugs of the game in your advantage, that's all.

Personally, i killed the 65.535 enemies with Vincent and it took me like half a month only to kill Emerald in one blow, it's true.

Now i gotta test Barret to see if this works in EU version.

[ZachMetalAsFuck]

dude im so confuzed .. i played and beat this bame all this talk about buffs and shit .. apperantly i missed a lot though ...

i would never give 3 morphs to the same person ... but then again i've never hit someone so hard it said fucking 0 as they died haha

[KingCodfish]

hey man awesome vid. i actually didnt know about that break damage limit. had this game forever and didnt bother killing 65k enemies with vincent. anyway i was wondering, doesnt the underwater materia just constantly keep building AP?

if so, could you put one of them in Barret's weapon (after overhauling it) to pretty much start out with a "broken" limit?

[jokermagic93]

...dude u do know d blow can do a 1 hit kill on some right? an instant kill not a glitch

[sanojonathan]

@jokermagic93 you need to watch the video where it shows Vincent kill emerald with 1 shot due to overflow, also instant kill doesn't work on bosses.

[LolRoflLamoHaa]

does this one-hit KO ON Sephiroth? o-o

[TJ5897]

@LolRoflLamoHaa It can 1 hit ruby weapon much less Sephiroth

[robo1687]

@TJ5897 Ruby is immune to it, but yeah it works on Sephiroth.

[j800r]

@robo1687 not once he's put his tentacles up.

[robo1687]

@j800r Ruby's defense is 480, too high for overflow. A maxed out Death Penalty gives a multiplier of 521/16 and with 4 hero drinks, base damage will be 30473. So damage will equal 8923(512-480/32)(521/16)= 62017 < 262144, so the first method of overflow fails. For the second method to work, damage must be greater than 524288 after things such as berserk and critical blow are factored in. So 3(berserk and critical) x 62017 = 186051 < 524288, so that fails as well.

[jordan415cool]

@robo1687 i dont get it :/

[robo1687]

@jordan415cool Overflow happens when damage gets too high, the numbers become negative and it increases the enemies hp, to fix it computer just resets it to 0, instant death. This occurs when normal calculated damage is more than 262144 or if damage is more than 524288 after things such as berserk, critical hit, etc. have been factored in. Since defense is a part of the calculation, Ruby's at 480 shows that it's impossible to get numbers that high, so it's impossible to do it against him.

[LolRoflLamoHaa]

@TJ5897 o__o! do you know how much hp Sephiroth has?...

[TJ5897]

@LolRoflLamoHaa Less then ruby or emerald he's really easy to beat with a level 70 party much less level 99 with this glich

[icepok]

dude, how come you can choose barret's action even though he's wearing fury ring during emerald?

[goeb16]

ever tried using overflow on a chocobo....?

[Kima318]

Lol, nice glitch. Noticed at the end 12:15 the write... "is(strange red explosion symbol, lol)MM" is like is writing "Miss", probably the value are so high that it goes over the "number" and reach other memory address and it goes crazy xD Nice find!

[imthedj22]

omfg where do u get the controlers???

[xdemonslay3rx]

Is that possible to use in bosses?

[KingLies]

Is it just me... Or does it really say "cought" instead of "caught" at 8:28 ...

[miguel777angel1]

@KingLies lol strangly yes

[singlehitter]

where did u get that sword for cloud i have the ragnorok sword atm for the ps3 version

[onionalive]

@singlehitter you get that sword from killing ultima weapon. its the weapon that flys around the world and hovers over places in late disk2 and disk3. just ram it with the highwind until it stops somewhere and fight it, and itll run away. eventually itll be hovering over a spot near cosmo canyon, ram it again and fight it one last time. you get that sword after you kill it.

[Tracezero]

I can't believe I sat here and watched the entire 12 minutes of this video, but your choice of background music kept me satisfied. I liked the video, I just wish that it had been a bit shorter. Good work nonetheless!

[Rancid946]

lol

Vincent was caught by surprise.

*Death*

[TylerJ]

That video was 12 minutes too long...

[3141Bruna]

This means that he did abou 600,000 damage?

Can someone explain me?

[Azraeille]

@3141Bruna Each person in Final Fantasy 7 has an Ultimate weapon. Each one of these weapons gets a power bonus from certain things. This bonus helps earlier in the game but since the max damage limit is technically 9,999 per hit Vincent and Barret's bonus never helps them that much...unless you overload the weapons :] The bonus that Barret and Vincent's Ultimate weapons can get is astronomical and eventually the game can't calculate the bonus and does near infinite damage.

[PhioenixPinion]

what kind of automatic control do you have? Because mine doesn't let me walk left to right up to down automatically. Help. I may want to buy it :)

[idok333odikay]

vincent was cought by suprise.........

bad grammar..

AWESOME game!

[jrobear10]

lol 10:32

5676!

426!

*!#$30(*&^

9999!

[Jmak4Life]

omfg that was the most epic 4x cut ever hahaha emerald weapon was like OMFG HAX

[Viikktor]

I wanna say its like an Area where the cap is like from 9999 to somewhere high and if you reach higher then that its just like the dmg it was suposed to do...

[anarchxable]

i dnt get dis

[MetallicPower45]

what if we use like 1000 power sources will clouds strength overflow?

[Charmolution]

Their attack caps at 255.

[MetallicPower45]

i know that but i heard if you use power sources it keeps going higher it justs the game cant keep up with it

[Charmolution]

It does not.

[MetallicPower45]

oh well shit i was looking forward to doing that

[jbreckmckye]

@MetallicPower45

No. Cloud's Str is limited at 255, and his weapons do not have 'special' modifiers that allow base damage to exceed the limit for overflow.

[MettanAtem]

is[Red thing]MM damage? That's a lot!

[HandOfQuaid]

so what you're essentially getting at is...you can "break" the 9999 barrier by making vince or barret so strong that the game cant keep up with how much damage they're doing?

[jbreckmckye]

@HandOfQuaid

Ish. The machine uses a signed integer to handle damage - when that number rolls over the maximum positive value, it becomes negative. It therefore isn't subject to the max damage cap, but does 'negative damage', and the enemy ends up with more HP than it had before the attack. The game recognizes that an overflow has occurred, and decides to destroy the enemy by default, as, usually, the enemy should be legitimately killed in these circumstances anyhow.

[razgriz2428]

that's why the weapon's name called Missing Score ^_^

[jsung8070]

nice glitch - although yuffie does 9999 morph because of her conformer's special ability not because its so strong, and your explanation that the "game cant keep up" with barret's power doesnt make any sense at all.but its still nice.

[leydeplomo]

Well done!!! I've been playing this game for 13 years and I had no idea such thing could be done, and thank you for using the game's music, I'm sick and tired of clicking on other videos where people use either metal or hip hop on their videos which I find extremely lame, the video is well constructed and entertaining, good job.

[hama93]

anyone can tell me how to get Vincent?

[razmus88]

solve the pussle in the shindra mansion in nibelheim and get a code for a safe on the upper floor, type it in, kill a boss, take the key, go down to the basement, lock up the door on the left, and there he is. or just look up the code on the internet :P

[joshuapsgibbons]

@razmus88 Pft. I remember when I was a kid, you wanted a code, you bought the cheat book or the Strategy Guide. Kids these days with your X boxes and your cars and your colour tv...

[blainyrules]

the barret one is easy. youre using max stats i guess? well i did it with like 108 atk and 90 luck. i had 3 kotrs, 2 bahamut zeros, 2 w-items and a magic counter

[roxasfruit]

so where does yuffies str come from?

[skaterking540]

What happens if you do that attack on the emerald weapon

[saiban808]

vincent is the best cloud sucks

[Zenphoshen]

ok did you cheat to get your hero drinks?

[Darkkefka]

w-item. Of course I did. Using bugs and glitches isn't cheating.

[ItalianPaddy]

@Darkkefka I agree.

Using what was already put into the game is not cheating. It may not be what the developers intended, but it is still in the game!

[MrGreany]

@Darkkefka I don't agree, completely.. Stumbling unto bugs and glitches = not cheating.. But USING them kinda is xD Not saying you're doing anything wrong by using a glitch or bug.. Just saying it's just as much as cheating as anything else.

[sqeaksquad]

@Darkkefka

No my friend i believe thats called HACKING!!!!!the system lol

[MugenHeadNinja]

@sqeaksquad ummmm i beleave your retarded my FRIEND

[sqeaksquad]

@MugenHeadNinja

wtf? i hate this game now, i think its gay, so i was retarded 4 bein opsessed wit this crap. :B

[melvinmaverick]

@Darkkefka if you could write prper english i might understand your videos better, wtf are you tryin to say in the video description?

[Codyray1992]

@melvinmaverick What do you mean? I understood it perfectly fine!

[bfullstar]

@Darkkefka HES RIGHT, glicthes are legit and so are bugs, hes not using gameshark u fuckin dumbass. huge differnce and u should get fucking jumped u dumb peice of shit

[wolvenlghiter]

damn.

[12Fucitolz]

you can have 9999 mp if you use that switch materia forget what its called but then you're health becomes 999 but you can prob raise it with health materia

[HOMEY631]

i have played it 99:59 lolz

[genhgiskahn]

I just thought of this today but i after doing some research. Red XIII and Cait Sith's weapon do damage based on MP left right? Well what if you had it so they had 9999 MP?

[KforKaspur]

You can only have 999MP

[RealTrixRabbitTroll]

lmfao. pwned.

[lejam9876]

and 74205 its 'spelled' not 'spelt' o.-

[TheBigBoss411]

see the irony?

[somerandomkidmike]

Spelt is correct as well. It's used more in Europe, but it isn't wrong.

[74205Defiant]

Good job translating team. I think you forgot that it is spelt "caught" not "cought".

"VINCENT was cought by suprise" at 8:29

[74205Defiant]

tsk tsk tsk, this is why you never bring swords or knives to a gunfight. XD

[imthedj22]

@74205Defiant lol

[roxasfruit]

@74205Defiant

"Yo HARDHAT! dont bring a WRENCH to a gunfight!"

[hurricanecris24]

what kind of control do you have when making vincent weapon stronger

[xretracsemajx]

i understand wut your doin but i dont understand how to do the glitch

[ftown090]

try puttin all Kotr master on him.....no beserk required!!! about 8-10 will do wonders

[maydinjapan]

lol

[FalzarGregar]

wouldn't it suck if barret CANT pass the limit and you do all this for nothing?

but AWESOME

[gamer4ever9999]

basicly id need barret and vincent with me if i wanna suker sephiroth easily right

[MerlinPokemon]

Thanks for answer(It would have been very irritating if I had killed all those monsters and it wouldn't work)!

[MerlinPokemon]

do you know if it work in european version?

[Anverto90]

yes it works

[CalaFlorian]

Thank you for all your work on it, its just GREAT ! ;)

[Hiddeknight0]

And this proves, conclusively, that guns > swords.

[MasterZebulin]

Those weren't guns...

They were invisible rocket launchers. O_O

[TwilightBloodBell]

That's wild! ^^

[boy5freak]

THEY HAVE FUCKING GUNS

[DarkSayx]

How much AP u need to get Barrets Overflow?

[superduperskaterr]

7:39  im playin it on psp

[almoststreetskater]

could u just use the underwater materia since it has unlimited ap

[mamift]

when put on barret's weapon, the game actually sees underwater materia as having 0 AP

[almoststreetskater]

oh thanks for the info i did not know that ... that sucks

[Dozierboy2]

How do u get Vincent

[jgfrty]

find him in the nibelheim mansion in a coffin he is asleep after answering to is questions correctly he will be available hope it will help

[doom9024]

HAHA

[Cloud6312]

Vincent can't do 99999, but he can go over the limit, because his weapon, Death penatly gets stornger for every kill he does, so the more he kills the stonger it gets.

the highest Vincent can go is roughly 65353.

[linkinpao]

lol I use codebreaker for FFX to break over the 99999, lol yep i double break damage limit, I could hit over 100000 and with criticals hits over 1000000(over a freakin million)!! Nemesis is a cinch with this code on, btw i have no life, i've spent hundreds of hours to get the best out of my games.

[mybuddydj]

that was just amazing... i never even knew the bug existed

[roxasfruit]

the only reason it does that is cuz they both got gunz!

[WelcomexToxThexNHK]

So Barrett's won't work on Ruby either? Or has anyone tried?

[DragonD14]

wats morph command

[ImbecileSoldire]

morph will change the enemy

[mypasswordisgoogle]

The more AP Barret's final weapon (Missing Score) has in it, the more damage it does. If this damage is over 262,144 after working out the character's attack to the enemy's defence (which will, of course, read 9999) it will cause the overflow, which the game will read as a bug and will then (comically, I must admit) kill the enemy. Basically, you do more damage than 262,144, you've instantly killed that enemy,

[DarkSonadow]

all your supposed to do is give them a couple hero drinks and berserk and he'll overflow?

[DarkSonadow]

umm.......WTF?!

[crappykidforever]

so if i master 8 knights of the round and put them all on barrets missing score and then give him a shitload of heros drinks, then he will perform the gltich?

[crappykidforever]

wait wait! im sorry guys but can someone just summarize what all this means?

im kinda overwhelmed...

[zeke1337]

In short you can give both Vincent and Barret a break 9999 and 99999 damage limit (materia).

[crappykidforever]

ah okay. thanks!

[VapourXY]

How can 99999 damage be possible? I've never seen that before?

[zeke1337]

Well there's the glitch(s) this video shows you, and there's the 99999 damage in FFX.

[Godchain]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

[wuff17]

with vincent can you take him to the battle arena and get ur kills for the death penalty to go up

[kaimisawesome]

in all my years of playing this game i had no idea these glitches existed.

definitely something i'd like to try out

[Lilpacothe3rd]

so all u gotta do to make this glitch work is to give barret and vinencent hero drink and beserk and thats all?

[Sorarcana]

nop, they should also have their ultimate weapon, the ultimate weapon have damage bonus in some conditions : at full HP/MP for most of them (up to 3 times the damage)

read description for more infos ;)

[tiga88]

not cheap. this is awesome haha

[COOSECOOSE2nd]

so does this tech work against the weapons Ruby and Emerald?

[TheSkyRender]

It works against Emerald, yes, but not Ruby. Ruby's defense is too high even for Vincent with 65,535 kills to defeat with this trick.

[cohen1336]

were do you get ''Mega All'' materia =S  ?

[drunkenthirteen]

mega all is in the northern cave right before u fight Jenova SYNTHESIS if you take the right path (i think its the right path)  you will see a purple materia floating on a small island there that cloud doesn't stop on long enough to grab it, simply hit confirm (default O) during the short time he is on the island and he will grab it on his way by.

[jesuschrist808]

Does anyone know if eight mastered Knights of [the] Round GUARANTEES overflow with every hit?

You'd have to slaughter an awful lot of magic pots!

[Jameszhangdude]

wow, so Barret's Missing Score gets more powerful with more AP from the materia? I had no idea...

no wonder he was weaker when I de-equipped all his materia

[TheDarkViper266]

where hell are those materias?

[hualni]

when you max yours out they have materia babies.  you just have to play... A LOT!!

[TheDarkViper266]

I refer to the sneak attack materia

[hualni]

you get it in the chocobo races.

[00D00]

It's a pain in the ass to get, does't always show up in every race and you have a ~3/18 chance to win it.

[cahr46]

wow, this game sure has a LOT of secrets, I think that's what makes it one of the best games ever.

[TheDarkViper266]

if not the best

[AnimeHolloW]

i didnt realy see the glich only with vincent :D wtf whas that 0? XD

btw, hmm... my cloud does 9999 with morph to thous mobz -.- and does it means hes attack power cant get up anymore?

btw, show with vincent morph a 9999, wanna see that :D

btw, how the hell can some1 kill 67k mobz? XD zomg, if u count in 1 fight, 3 mobz = ~20sec so in min its 20x3 = 9mobz = ~74hours killing mobz XD there u need to be a big freak then =/

[premiumheart98]

whoa,.. O_o

[Piotreq47]

I play so so so so long FF7 and i found ONLY one bug. When i found key to midgar i go to church and i saw Aeris ghost!! When i come closer she disaper!!
