Final Fantasy X Part 72: Ignorance Is Blitz

[PrzReaper]

Forget the superbowl I came to see the blitzball tournament!

[BaconFlavouredRobot]

Hold up. The Al Bhed Psyches LOST to the Guado Glories?! How?!

[curlong]

only blitz person i recruted was waka

[FroIsPower]

Swimming ronso XD

[ZGuy0fSci]

"No cheerleaders in Blitz Ball; Synchronized Swimmers maybe?"

EVEN BETTER!! *that much less clothing* LoLz ;p

[TheR0b1991]

I always hate the match vs the al bhed, who gave their goalie 18 on CA its almost imposible to score against them in the first match

[audrellcrowe1]

I really miss blitzball...

[MelmanCam3l]

I wish you had something like blitzball in FFXIII. Well maybe you do and i just havent found it since ive played all of 2 hours of it.

[Bananadine]

@MelmanCam3l well this is kind of a spoiler but what you'll find is that about 3/4 of the way through, most of your characters will have the Reduce spell for shrinking enemies, and if you have your leader use it on an ally instead of an enemy then that character will shrink and (this cutscene is really funny) get lost in Sazh's afro, and then you'll end up in the baby-chocobo-riding minigame, which actually plays out a lot like blitzball believe it or not

[MelmanCam3l]

@Bananadine If that's true then Awesome!

[TheMaliciousStorm]

I hate Blitzball...so I never get Wakka's celestial weapon or whatever you call it.

[Darksealer1995]

Nintendocaprisun you suck at blitzball you are a joke to the sport my friend

[pRojecTMuffinCakes]

High score/ one game: 15-0. With basic ovl'd Team id love to upload a vid on it as a response, i just dont know how. But i wanna see someone else score that much.

[bgy4dl]

You really went for the challenge by not changing the team. I have heard that they become the best players by the top levels, but I have never got that far.

The one issue I did have with Blitzball, is that the AI really sucks at times. It tries to make entire sphere passes with only 2 pass and tends to shoot from insane distances with normal shot. A good example I have is with Bickson passing right in front of the goal, when he could have easily scored.

[StinkyFranki]

FINALLY!

[Shpwnicus]

the reason blitz isnt real..... noone can breath more than 5 minutes underwater without there face turning blue.

[axelsteel21]

when on the airship Wakka can be conscriped in to the team as can Rin the shop keeper, and i think the guy by the rusty sword is a class goal keeper

[sammerthanyou]

leave it to final fantasy to turn something as simple as a ball game into some fustercluck minigame :P

[GuitarHero4516]

If Blitz was real.... I would play that every day. Just need an insanely huge lung capacity.

[acemage13]

ffs, for me blitz is like this:

Meet Al Bhed Psyches=lose maybe tie

Meet any other team=Win 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0



[abragelboy]

Ugh, just hearing the name Nimrook gives me bad feelings. That guy can go die.

[Neoslightning]

p.s. its not random its the closest person to the fumbled ball and its endurance not energy just sayin dont wanna get in an aregument with anyone this happen alot

[sportsjock2009]

easy way to level up in blitz.... put your worst person in the back of your playing field and pass the ball back and forth between characters. and if you have a chance, shoot in the end with the worst player. you may not score but shooting gives exp even if you dont make it

[MegaKidicarus]

i think there is a glitch in blitz ball where if you wait it ends the game but i am not sure

[SchumanJi707]

ah he didnt recruit wakka >.<

[RynKen]

what do you mean press 'A' !? there is no 'A'!

[Tripp426]

@RynKen He's used to playing Nintendo games where there is an 'A' button. In this game whenever he says that, he most likely means 'X'

[TrueFan8]

@Tripp426 or circle since on the Nintendo controler X would be B

[Tripp426]

@TrueFan8 True.

[foreingwind2]

my brother said he would buy a video game of blitzball only...i hate blitz >_>

[Yoshi317]

U keep on thinking the playstation button r the nintendo & Xbox buttons XD

[TheJplay22]

Sorry, I can't do that tech thing, I couldn't find the A BUTTON on my PS2 CONTROLLER!

[crazyearl1001]

@TheJplay22 i think its either square or X i can't remember its been so long since ive played...

[rennieren13]

in blitzball instead of cheerleaders, wouldn't they have synchronized swimmers? lol

[dracogaming13]

SHT that could be interpreted a few ways

[Knux57]

21:44

One of the Kilika players get's stabbed in the stomach by one of their teammates' head. Rough times for them alright.

[galladegirl1]

what I always do: get one goal then just RUN AWAY!!!!!! (well in Mario Hoops anyway) SAME THING!!!

[kirkalicious09]

recruit cid hes insanely fast and makes winning easy.

[kennedyfan21]

are you going to at least get Wakka? since, technically, he IS an Auroch

[Lukefonfabre9]

on my game, my Tidus is like level 23 or so in Blitzball, and my Datto is like level 10ish, so I think he's going to have to get some experience too(though I'm extremelyyyyyyyy over level compared to the other teams, they all have like level 12s and such)

[zappahcracker]

Once you start to get into Blitzball it can get REALLY addicting. It's actually quite fun... or at least it was for me.

I spent hours just raping everything I fought with Tidus' OP Jecht Shot.

[Jump728]

I fought Nimrook with my Tidus : 22 Shooting versus 19 catching.

I won every time :D

[SuperSayinBoots]

The shoot stat looks like shit, SHT SHIT

[PlanetBattles]

Could you imagine if Letty was the goalkeeper?

[PlanetBattles]

Could you imagine if Letty was the goalkeeper?

[Agahnim01]

You see, i never understood why poeple would get excited by watching Hockey, or Football, or Basketball or any other sport for that matter, but for some unexplainable reason, i really enjoy watching you play Blitzball and i really didn't see the last half hour go by. I know... i'm pathetic...

[TheJplay22]

@Agahnim01 Holy crap... you're right! Not about the pathetic thingy, the first part. I guess now I understand the whole sport thing now. Or mabye its because Blitzball is underwater.

[LuigiFan210]

I HATE trying to get techs for Keepa.

[PageofLegend]

god I hated blitzball, I couldnt win a single game to save my life

[alea59681]

wow i have been waiting for my facebook page to load and it took 2 videos for it to load -_-

[Scrapperton]

Honestly the blitzball looks...not fun. :/ Everything else looks fantastic.

[Zuifan]

I would buy a ps2 and this game just for the Blitzball.

[JoshB1901]

Blitzball wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so random with the numbers. If it was more based on basic math then it would be more bearable.

[Ryouseiken]

Such a cheap maneuver... I need to remember that for when I play FFX again myself. :P

[TheHeartsless]

i got all the reels and im aiming for the Jupiter Silgil and i win ever single blitz game because of Ject shot and my level 47 Brother

[HiRiderII]

remember, when in doubt, use jecht shot. :P

[numb19029]

The world is in peral! Our party is excommunicated, and hunted by Seymour...Let's play some Blitz Ball!

By the way,off-topic, in the LP's of Capri Sun I have seen so many Ad's, they should pay me for watching all of them

[Crazyness1994]

more blitzball episodes please :D make some special episodes or bonus episodes that are pure blitzball

[zeldamaster448]

blitzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz shuaceeeeeeeeeee

[jere116]

you are awsome nintendocaprisun!!

[drg1888]

how many matches in a league?

[TheHeartsless]

@drg1888 10 games

[ASDFsan]

Oh sure. The audience boos Tidus out of the field in the tournament in Luca after he shows off the Jecht Shot for the first time, but they're perfectly fine with Jassu sitting next to the goalie and picking his nose.

[origialtych]

the only minigame that was a game in a game taht was a final fantasy game

[derrock08]

the burping gets annoying..

[WavemasterAshi]

A better way to kill time is to pass the ball back and forth. Kill the clock AND gain exp.

[DanTheEnigma]

Haaaaalftiiiiime Show. Haaaaalftiiiiiime show.

Yeaaaah Yeaaaah. Wooooah Woaaaah.

Haaaaalftiiiiime Show.

Anyone who knows that reference needs to get out more.

[Kysonel]

It's sad :( ... at 13:12 you missed Venom Pass techcopy

[SuperGsting]

I stayed with the besaid aurochs original team once. that was the worst thing i have ever done in this game. worst then teaching tidus lancet.

[tunporht0]

Luca goers go from 2nd being the best to the worst team and the kilika beasts go from being the worst, to the best team.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@tunporht0 I admit you can found better players than those but i think they really don't "suck-donkey-balls" but they need kind of a lot of work...I keep the original team and recruit wakka again & some others until he learns his ultimate shot cause is one of the best shots in the hole game... believe me you won't regret it XD

[tunporht0]

@VixXstazosJOB Yes i too keep wakka, But the ultimate shot is only good if you keep the aurochs team, But by then you should be leveled enough not to need it, I reccomend for late stages, larbeight and vilchula FW, Linna or vourja, MF, ropp and kulukan df, and nimrook or wedge, GK. But i see where you are coming from, The aurochs can be pretty good with careful planning and a bit of practice, i guess its just what suits you, keep up the good work :D

[thunderzap7]

Whenever we play a game in my pool class in school, I always call it Blitz Ball.

[MagicOfTheMoon478]

Jupiter Sigil? I call myself Jupiter.

[sasuke283]

i'm a bit confused, are you using a ps2 controller? because you always say press the "A" button on the controller to do something but i don't recall there being an A button on the controller

[xp14y639]

roses are red, violets are blue

in soviet russia, poem writes YOU.

[EspioChaos]

i tried to techcopy, but i can't find the "A" button on my ps2 controller :(

[xp14y639]

@EspioChaos lol i thought i was the only person to notice that. also if youre seriously confused(doubt it if youve played an xbox) he meant X

[Valdraya]

I couldn't play this game because I could never get past the mandatory blitzball game you have to play pretty early on. Seemed impossible to me no matter what I did. Also I don't care for blitzball.. Shame about that

[WonTonSamurai]

@Valdraya the mandatory one is rigged, your not actually "supposed to win" but if you do u get a trophy out of it

[Valdraya]

@WonTonSamurai ..Eh? It wouldn't let me do anything except play it until I won

[link180204]

Hey NCS, if ya want a good blitz team, I reccomend a man named Jumal. He's a dude dressed in blue at Luca, by the large fountain on your way out of the city... he's the best goalie in the game. Hope it helps :)

[tunporht0]

@link180204 Only from about level 1-20 then you should try and get a crusader called kyou, he's found on the djose bridge between djose highroad and the temple or miyu, a crusader sitting on a bench in moonflow north wharf. also you should try and get ropp (al behd in mi'hen travel agency) and zalitz for (lucan you find on way to sphere theatre dressed in white and red) defence, stick with letty for MF and stick with tidus but bring in lucan named wedge(guy standing in front of luca stadium )

[JacksonDivilBiss]

What, haven't you heard, a pictures worth a thousand words?

[ThisisHorde]

i would seriously love it if this video didn't stop after 28 seconds and not continue v__v

[WonTonSamurai]

@ThisisHorde change the 360p to either 480 for 240 then press play it will start again

[YugSihtTsuj]

1:45 Black and white means your player can't learn that tech.

If you check the Team Data, you can view each player's Tech List. A dashed line indicates an "open slot," meaning they can learn the tech that goes in that slot. A blank spot means they can't.

Team Data also lists each player's "Key Techniques." Learning these opens new slots. Super Goalie is one of Keepa's keys; I believe it opens the Grip Gloves slot.

Sometimes one Key has to be learned in order to open the slot for another.

[KentoKaima]

Watching you helped me understand alot more than that confusing azz tutorial,it actually makes me want to try it again ^-^(after four years of shunning it -_-)

[thebladeofchaos]

press A? lol.

I always find myself passing straight to Tidus then shooting. somehow my Tidus ends up with 12 goals and top scorer, which is good for gil and such.

[smashbros81]

The Kilika Beasts should have had kulukan do all their work

[Mi4Slayer]

I really enjoy more you FFX walkthrough more than MSG2 it really entertaining to watch. I hope that you will do Hp break limit quest and darks aeons ;)

Oh and when you will be done with MSG 2 I whis you could do mario RPG or Replay OoT I missed that awesome LP ^^

[VixXstazosJOB]

@Mi4Slayer I WOULD LOVE if he considares to replaying FFVI one again, now with better quality. I'm not saying that the original sucked i know it was his very first time doing LP's

[YoshiKing25]

Soccer is the world's greatest sport. i'm glad ffx had some sort of sport miniquest in it

[Aquotron]

If I didn't know that was the "Shoot" stat, it would look nasty.

[Soulichgio1000]

I won my first blitzball match today XD

[pedrinhorios7]

isent this part 73?

[R3BALl3LAKE]

Watchin' Man United v Liverpool + NCS playing Blitzball = Too many balls xD

[stgm]

@R3BALl3LAKE Men united, too many balls.. I knew soccer was queer as shit.

[PoKeGOD123]

@R3BALl3LAKE ARSENAL!

[R3BALl3LAKE]

@PoKeGOD123 much better than liverpool IMO

[zeldaplayer20]

princess toadstool, your not so clever hmm mmm all you're words are alphabet soup, picture's tell it better.

i'll say it again IGNORANCE IS BLITZ xD

sorry i saw the title and that song popped up :P

[1337treeckolol]

@zeldaplayer20 Yeah. I felt the same way.

[Astariie]

I don't think you need to be apologizing for not making any progress, seeing as so many people have been dieing to see you play blitzball. Show some more!

[bigburr1968]

like football!



[LlanosDR]

are you gonna show how to get the Jecht Shot 2?

[EctInc]

4:00 For some reason, I am attracted to that Ronso.

[MapleMan4000]

i think you should show more blitzball videos i quite liked this

[JoeWaffl3s]

Hey NCS, could you make a video simply showing how to record a Let's Play, because there doesn't seem to be a single video on youtube that doesn't mess around, so basically all other "tutorials" suck.

[TheUnluckyJirachi]

Zazi Guado is on my Blitzteam! 

[MrJustNormal]

I kept getting killed on this game by Seymour . And then after I finally beat him my PS2 broke . . .

[linkswordsman]

If you want rate this up if you want to see more blitzball....cause i know i do :)

[yousuffahimuddin]

how can you mend...a broooken heaaaaart

oh nice video breh

[Diggler277]

I've been playing blitzball for 3 days now and I've figured it out a lot since I started it's great fun when you get going/hire Wedge

[TehRealDinnin]

If you want a better team for Blitz ball than I advise you take Keepa off your goalie, there are far better team arrangements.

I can't remember the spots they take but some of the best for your team are as follows:

Tidus, Linna, Keepa, Nimrock (Best Goalie), Needus Nav Guado, Brother.

There are many more but I thought if you wanted an easier time than do that team set up or something similer. Wedge is good too. Just shoot one in and hold the ball in the corner for the rest of the match.

[benzhang5]

@TehRealDinnin He said he's going to stick with the Besaid Aurochs.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@TehRealDinnin altought personally i've found out that if you have patience & practice long enough with wakka he turns to be the best player in blitz not counting the goalies... to bad that he restarts with a too low level while the others have highers... & MOST of the AL BHED are BEASTS in this a recomend him to recruit some : =]

[thekyster07]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

And the Beast in the back said

Everyone attack and it turned into a blitzball blitz

And the Goer in the corner said

Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a blitzball blitz

Blitzball blitz, blitzball blitz, blitzball blitz

Blitzball blitz

[MrShadowTriforce]

@thekyster07 wtf r u talkin bout Hmmmm



[TheHikoriOne]

blitzball would have made a good mmo game.

[TempestDacine]

Damnit, now I have to replay FFX so I can blitzball!

[dragoboy10]

what does a rename card do does it let you rename tidus or something?

[SparkSSBM]

@dragoboy10 lets ya rename any chracter or aeon once

[linzig32]

also in case u didnt know en stands for endurance not energy

[linzig32]

BEST PUN EVER (not)

[getsumara]

Blitzball i always found to be a really cool aspect of FFX. They need more things like this in the games.

[Spirend]

I'm fine with not showing some blitzball matches, but show us some tournatments for special stuff, such as the Wakka's last overdrive, or league matches for something rare.

[HyperShadic100]

Just wait for the Jecht Shot V.2 It takes out 3 defenders.

[OMGerBer]

I love blitzball so much. I always thought this and still think that they should have made an entire blitzball game for the PS2. I think that would have been pretty sweet.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@OMGerBer it would be sweet if square-enix makes a FF about this fantasy sport... cause there's even a game of just QUIDITCH from EA imo

[kirby278]

hey caprisiun is it worth it to play blitz ball because i hate blitz ball

[945pie]

@kirby278 You have to play blitzball to get wakka's anything, so if you use wakka often, it is.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@kirby278 IT'S WORTH OF IT let me tell ya... if you like to use wakka and want to getting all his OVRDRS and for some cool rare stuff... even if you are not the best everytime you often get cool items

[78Daleth]

Icwuthedidthurindatitle

[immortal846]

i spent so much time playing this wen i had this. I love playing these games blind, you appreciate them more.

[Slasheroftriforces]

so when you see tech copy press A? lol

[Arctica97]

@Slasheroftriforces When Techcopy appears, you have to press X at the moment the word Techcopy flashes white. This isn't the case with every move though. Sphere Shot and Invisible Shot have some of the hardest timings to pull a Techcopy off.

[vargasmanuel348]

@Slasheroftriforces actually its x lol but i bet u knew tht :P

[Slasheroftriforces]

@vargasmanuel348 yeah i knew that i was just pointing out that NCS accidentally said "A" at around 14 minutes or so

[skyknightdragon]

Datto needs some serious help. I recommend that during your next Ronso match, that you set it to manual and maneuver him and your second lowest guy behind the goal and spam passing between them.

[PokeStar1900]

u should've had a blitzball montage with the song playing in the background ;)

[yamidoggy]

The technique of holding the ball until the timer runs out is the reason why basketball created the 24 second shot clock violation. =)

[pious83]

I don't remember the monster coliseum or Blitzball tournaments when I first played the game.. I must have skipped them I suppose.

[Toksyuryel]

You spend the hp for a tech as soon as you select to use it- even if they never get to actually use the tech.

[Toksyuryel]

You get bonus xp whenever you use a tech, so it's worth using them even when you don't "need" to.

[FryingPanNinja52]

whats rename sphere do .-.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@FryingPanNinja52 you can use those for renaming your aeons not the characters... would be cool if just though for a "silly" name for one aeon & you want to change it imo

[SparkSSBM]

screw progress blitzball is refreshing with you :D

[sero0051]

BLITZ BALLS

[SheepFreak2]

i was so excited about BB until i got to play it... -,-

[jecapeter]

@SheepFreak2

Me too! At my 1st playthrough I thought "That must be interesting to play!" and then lost 0-5 to the Luca Goers in the tournament...

[RazzWasThere]

You should show more blitzball, it's really fun to watch.

[AznKidFtw]

you should still get wakka when ur in the airship thumbs up if u agree:D

[TheMusicalGamer11]

Blitzball can just be so infuriating... yet I can't stop watching NCS play it

[JMan1380]

5am! Dude, go to bed!

[Zombissux]

lol I burped than you burped a few secons later.

[WanaBgamer]

I love blitzball.

[marioshines2]

ncs a or x

[Dragonslore2594]

that was interesting enough id watch another one

[KSIMuskratLuv]

Please show like 50% of the blitzball.

[XTrumpet63X]

Blitzball is so much more fun to watch than it is to play, nice video!

[melvyn3000]

Well, for the "how to do the blitzball tourney all in one video" thing, you could pull a chuggaaconroy on us. What I mean is have it so that you have another playlist for the blitzball tournaments, and the first playlist video would be filled with annotations like maybe in this video you get "Attack Reels" for Wakka. The video of annotations will be used to lead into this video, or another video. That way, it doesn't make this LP longer than it needs to be. I can't really explain it very well.

[VixXstazosJOB]

@melvyn3000 well basicly you mean that it would be better or cool for him to put blitzball videos in another playlist apart of the "main" LP i guess.... thumbs up if i'm explaining BETTER (lol)

[danielducey10]

hey nintendocaprisun if u have ever heard of the game tales of symphonia theres actually a min boss in the beggining of the middle part of the game named botta so thought id point that out thats for all of you ppl thats never played symphonia

[TheCheezitmonster]

cheezits are good

[CharletteAndMo]

22:05 Woah. Can you like... se me or something?

[VinnyVanYiffy]

hellooooo female ronso

[Crossaix]

Just a bit curious, what does the rename card thingy do?

[TheNikoado]

@Crossaix

It let's you rename characters or aeons, once.

[xavierexcalibur]

ha, i have Nimrook as my goalie...

[Preditor117]

I once had a file where my blitzball team was so epic, Tidus had more than a 1/2 chance of scoring a sphere shot at half court. I could literally get the ball (Tidus in mid field) run up to mid field, break to THREE people, and then shoot and more often then not, I'd score.

[sounderpressure]

i think you should at the very least replace keepa, he's terrible no matter what.

[popledude]

Why not, show all of the games... Noooooo
