 You know, I didn't really realize it until recently, but the developers for Demon Slayer of the Hinokami Chronicles are unfortunately killing the game. The last couple of Demon DLC characters they released were over two months ago now, and they haven't exactly dropped the game-changing update either, so naturally the player numbers are gonna go down. Why then am I saying that the game is being killed instead of the game is already dead, like my boy Afro did with his video? Well, I think we have to account for one factor. Pengan. Seriously though, we've known that the sound Hashira is coming to the game ever since the game first released, and now it's just been a matter of waiting for the character to actually drop. Do you know how hard it was watching the final episodes of Demon Slayer Season 2, and watching Tengen just absolutely pop off and not being able to play as him in the game? I've read the entire manga for this series, and Tengen is still like top two characters for me. Anyway, what I'm saying is if they drop Tengen, they'll get their player base back, at least for a couple weeks to a month. At least I'll be back anyway. Which is why I wanted to be in top form for when this character drops, so I am back to check out the online ranked matches for Hinokami Chronicles, see how everything's going, see if we can find any players online, and most importantly, see if I can still play this game. All right, it's good to be back though. Oh, I should have just gone for the full Thunder Clap and Flash Count. Hold on, you know I still got Perfect Blocks all these years later. Damn, it feels good, and see, this game is so much fun, dude. I actually had a lot more combos on there. I'm gonna see if I just can't do it. One, two. All right, I'll wait a little while longer. I'll wait a little while longer. I'll throw an assist behind. Oh, I forgot Tanjiro. Tanjiro is just so good in this game. No. Also, I forgot that everyone's gonna bully the way I say that name. Wake up, Mash. Push away, Guard. All right, this guy knows how to play. All right, get Inosuke off of us. We don't need that. Ooh. Now we're good. There we go. That's what I want to see. That's what I want to see. I'm just gonna push him away and go for the special at the end. Right here. Add a little bit of extra damage. And then let's see if he can keep up with the speed. First of all, perfect parry that. He's got a switch block. I'm gonna call in this. Go for the guaranteed grab. It didn't work. All right, we're going for my ultimate strat. Speed. Speed Part 2. Oh, he's got a block. You can't try to hit me. I'm too fast. Zenitsu is too fast. I'm gonna do it again. Round start. Oh, oh, oh, where are you going? Oh, you can't dodge me. Water wheel. All right, it looks like we both called our own assist. Damn, I tried to perfect guard him again. Damn, he'd be doing some damage, though. Damn, he'd be doing some damage, though. Did I just get reset? I hate it here. All right, he's got to escape. Oh, he can't escape. All right, then I'm taking it. I'm taking the most I can. Standard route, but you know what? It is what it is. We're just gonna take the damage. Guard walk, guard walk, guard walk. Oh, he fell for the oldest trick in the book, the guard walk. You let it look like your stand is lower. He doesn't want to waste his sub. Oh, he should have wasted his sub. Now, I can't as well. All right, he wants this. He wants this bad. Do we go for the assist? There we go. Oh, he actually called the assist. And now we have a three bar ultimate. We could just use that and win, probably. But that's not what I'm gonna. I think we all know what I'm gonna do. Maximum speed dash. What's it gonna do? Assist to cover me? Nah, we're back in there. And now that I have no bar, first. Damn, damn, damn, save myself. No, Ineskay, he's laughing up a storm. He's stopping me from doing my tactic. Ineskay, please. I'm getting waterfall basin right now. I can't do my technique. Help. All right, I'm doing it. You know, a lot of people, I don't think they would have gone for the win here. But I'm going for it. Damage. Oh, damage. Damage, I'm just going for it. I'm spending all my resources. First form. Thunder clap and flash. Six fold. Not God speed, but we'll have to take what we can get. Now, what's his plan? Grab, he couldn't even see me coming. Ah, that was sick, the undodgeable grab. I had him in the assist stun. Hey, I was sleeping. What happened? That was sick. See, this is why this game needs Tengan, dude. Dude, I want to play as the sound hush, you're so bad. That was, imagine a team of Zenitsu and Tengan. Oh my goodness. The hearing on that team would be, you would be able to hear your opponent's fear. We actually did get the rematch, which I'm excited about, because this, we actually had pretty good connection. Oh, nice. We got through, launch him up, be able to continue the combo, get him back down on the ground so we could stuff him into it. Oh, that actually counted as a slight reset. No, no, no, we know about that. We know about that. Damn, I didn't block it. All right, get me out of there. Grab, oh, I just snuck in there, canceled the dash and grabbed them. Oh, this game is so sick though. I can't get over how good like, you know, when it comes to arena fighting, anime arena fighting games like this, Storm is always like my go-to example of like, yeah, I think that's a lot of fun. But this game is just as, for some reason I forgot about that whirlpool move. Rookie mistake. Oh, I didn't block, I'm dodging. Well, a little early on his part, we don't get hit by E and a skate, so we get to play the game a little bit. We get to play the game, we get to play the game. If we hit him, we do go into ultimate here. Oh, no, we're dead, we're dead, we're dead, we're dead. E and a skate, you gotta be careful what that assists. That's fine. Oh, he knows how to guard walk too. Well, then let me show you the ultimate form of guard walking. Ha, you haven't even begun to master the arc, did grab. Allow me to show you what true skill looks like. I took a vacation from the game. The game to me wasn't dying, bro, I was just taking a little break. Get off him. Strike right through. Okay, should keep attacking after that. Nice. That was a really good guard. He's come to play as well. He's down some to say I should be, I should really be guarding right now just in case he tries that. Yeah, there he goes. Oh, he had his back turned. You turning your back to me, come here. I can't allow this disrespect. I didn't mean to get saved there. Oh, I didn't even, I should have just heard E and a skate. He might go for the ultimate here to win. No, he's being, he's being, he's being cool and confident. He's saving it. I should have altered right there. That would have made me invincible. Now we're down to our last life and he has three ultimate gauges. All right, it's fine. We'll just have to get into waste them. Don't get grabbed again. All right, cook them up. Try not to get hit with the whirlpool move. That move is killing us. What? All right, we used our, I actually don't agree with what I did there. Oh, but I do agree with just swinging. I'm giving them both a little beat down they can remember. Yes, that should kill him. This is ultimate our level three. Thunder breathing, first form. Thunder clapping, flash. Let's go. God speed at the end, let's go. Just enough, we got him to waste two of his bars. I'll take that trade any day of the week. All right, we're back up around speed. Speed, go faster, go faster. He tricked me. He's never jumped at the end before. He's wide open. He tried the whirlpool, but I was ready. We're not getting hit by that move anymore. I am so done getting hit by that move. We're learning. All right, he's got Enosuke assist. So we're just gonna let him waste that real quick. Nice. Nice. Don't give him an inch. Don't give him an inch. Standard stuff. I'm saving my assist bar as well. Here comes Enosuke. Nah, he didn't even use Enosuke. He's gotta use him here. He's gotta use him here, otherwise he's gonna lose. Is he okay with losing this round? There he goes. He jumped again. All right, this is what the escape was for. He did the whirlpool. All right, I don't wanna lose. How was Enosuke right? Oh, you can do it with only one bar. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, we got so lucky. I don't know if the burst actually moved us or if I just willed that to happen. Oh, my luck stat is high right now. That was sick. I cut him from midair. I'm getting hit by Enosuke, man. Oh, you can't, you can't mass there. No, no, it's too late for us to be, it's used his assist. Oh, we got him. We actually got him to bite. Finally, he opens up that defense. I need to see you up close. Okay, we're a little close for my liking. Enosuke is gonna come out. Oh, don't let him get close. He bit again. He bit again. That should be it. Go, go all before he gets his thing back. Yes! That should be it. That should be the game. He couldn't get his Enosuke up in time. Level two ultimate. Shh. Not speed. That was sick. That was, oh, dude. That was so sick. I forgot how good this game is. Where am I? Who am I? Who are you? Three wins and 15 disconnects? All right, bro. I'm giving you a chance to prove me wrong here. You're not gonna rage quit, are you? You know, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because you know what? I also have one disconnect, but I would never rage quit, bro. They just gave that to me. Like the game crashed for some reason and they gave me a rage quit. So you know what? I believe in this guy. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna give him the hands, though, as a competitor, the best way you can respect the competition is by playing against them like you would anybody else. So that's exactly what I'm gonna do. It's under clap and flash. Ooh, now wake up. I got another treat for you. It's called water wheel. Oh my God, look at that range. I forgot how good this game. The first two demons, they're still demons I haven't played, huh? The second release of demons, you know, I feel like they could have used a bit more spice, but still, oh, I'm playing like trash right now. Ooh, sphere of webs. I might have tried something there. There we go, that should be game. That should be round one going to us. We didn't sweat the small details there. We started getting a bit lax towards the end, but now I'm gonna really turn up the heat. Now the heat is going to max. Do I dash at me? No, then get grabbed. I don't know what you're standing around for. Trying to parry me? Nah, parry this. Go ahead, parry this. Parry this. I'm in there. Parry this. Oh, I was gonna hit him with the grab. Damn, I couldn't back dash. I wanna hit him with the armored move. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ah. All right, so you got some webs on you, bro. But you can't outdash me. I'm just going right at him. I'm keeping it real basic, too. Oh, there's no way. That was hot. I don't wanna waste my bar, so I'm gonna let you escape. Why did I not get my charge attack? Oh, the armored attack there would have been game. See, you're not gonna ult me. I guess he doesn't wanna waste the bar either. Oh, no, I should have just gone for it. Okay, we have three bars. He awakened to get some demon health back. I kinda forgot. Okay, well, I'm not gonna lose another round. I'm gonna promise that right now. What are you just swinging to yourself over here? That wasn't a perfect dodge. That's on me, but I'm not falling for that. I can just honestly dash at him. It looks like he's just leaving me a lot of opportunity to dash through his attacks, which if that's what you wanna do, I'm definitely down. Oh, he just walked into that one. He wanted to see what it was all about. All right, let's go to next game. I got three bars. I'm not getting any younger. This is probably gonna be scaled, but you know, maybe he might still kill, actually. I'm going to game two. Damn, no, that scales heavily. Wow, felt for the oldest trick in the book. He wanted a perfect parry of his own. Well, I ain't gonna give it to him. All right, now I'm gonna cook you up a devastating round here, if you don't mind. There he goes. He actually did it that time. He did, he waited, he waited, he waited. Dude, I'm testing his patience. You know what? I don't see a rage quitter in him, though. I really gotta hold that. I gotta hold that, uh-oh. If we lose this round and he doesn't use any bar, we are in a bad way. Why, I'm mashing, I'm mashing, I'm mashing. I'm bad at the game. Oh God, just get me out of there. No, no, don't go back in, there's any, oh, he has three bars. Even if he was a rage quitter, I wouldn't know. No, I have to test him. I have to test him. I promised I would be the one to test him. I'm the one that gave him the benefit of the doubt. I gotta see what he's all about. This has gotta be frustrating to go. This has gotta be, ha-ha-ha-ha. All right, if he is a rage quitter, he's gotta be feeling it now. Oh, I gave up, I gave up. I stopped blocking. No, I'm an idiot. I am a downright idiot sometimes. Oh God. Okay, he's gonna, ultimate level three meter, he's gonna scale. That's fine, I guess. Oh God, it's gonna scale. Oh, I'm just trying, I wanna win this so bad. I gotta see if he's a rage quitter. If he wins, then there's nothing to test. Come here. I'm gonna see about you, bro. Hey, look, you've got plenty of time to rage quit if that's what you're about. But I don't think that's you, you wouldn't do that. I'm glad, I was right about him. I was right, he wouldn't rage quit. I could see it in his eyes. Sadly, it doesn't change the outcome. Slice. Ha-ha-ha-ha. Oh, unless he thinks he could take me around too. He might think he could take me around too. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Does he think he could take me around too? Hold on, no, no, no, I just don't think he would rage quit. All right, we're back with what is probably going to be the final match on the dodge walk. Oh, I perfect guarded Nezuko though. I perfect guarded Nezuko, I just didn't get the, wait, that was the assist? That was, no, wait, that was the main character, he just switched. I got mixed out of my shoes right there. I'm playing my own game, dude. I was doing my own combo. That is what we like to call over committing. Damn, nice switch. So we actually used the switch mechanic. I didn't, I didn't play around long enough to see if the switch mechanic was something I should use. But it doesn't look bad. We switched into a grab that was sick. This guy's got mixed. This guy's good, all right. I canceled my dash, but I didn't do anything afterwards. This guy's got moves, all right, all right. Hold on, hold the phone, hold the phone. We're gonna have to really play. All right, I did not mean to awaken, that is fine. I got countered, I got countered. I am playing like a fool, I'm just mashing buttons. All right, hold on, let me just, oh my God, you have to jump that. I have to actually keep my eyes open for the grab. Okay, got him. We're back down. Sweet electricity effects and everything, yep. There we go, nice. Nice raw super damage. I didn't get my charge attack. Oh, it wasn't even that bad until I failed. It wasn't that bad until I failed. There we go, oh, that was sick. Zenitsu's rage is crazy. Oh, do the charge attack, Zenitsu. Do the charge attack, Zenitsu, please. All right, come back, time begins now. Oh, I dodged it. I actually did dodge it. We got it. I backstepped. Oh, we snuck behind him. Now we're actually using some movement. Nice, we love to see some movement. Sadly, it was mostly random, I'm not going to lie to you. Oh my God, Nezuko, stop. Nezuko, please, test me. You know I got it like that. Don't test me, we're playing neutral now. We're playing neutral. Right spot in between, that's gonna be a round going to us for once. All right, we got a round, we got a round. That's all we needed. I just needed to see one round to get my confidence back. He does have a level three, but that's okay. I couldn't get it, I couldn't get my ultimate. I mean my shielded attack. I got to stop swinging randomly. I got to pick my spots a little better here. Oh, so much damage. Oh, he's just swinging. Shut up. This man said dead calm, and I just punched him right in the stomach. All right, if we can get to three bars, we might have a chance here. What's he doing, dude? Oh, I just got my ultimate art. Damn, that sucks. I was playing, I didn't want to use my burst to get my sub back, because I wanted to play for the raw ultimate art, but clearly it was a mistake. Now we got a rematch. That guy was good. The disconnects are random in this game, I guess. Unless he's, I don't know who he would disconnect against. I feel like you don't get that good disconnecting, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he's a tournament player. Boom, give me that. All right, I'm built different this round. What? Oh, he switched. That's how he did that. All right, well, this damage is almost done, so I'm not subbing out of this. I'm not subbing out of this, bro. You gotta be crazy if you think I'm getting out of that. Anyway, we're about to trade right now for even damage. Come here. Come here, come talk to me about... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're good. Damn, the switch into dash is good, especially if you're staying on the offensive, which he is. He wanted to grab right there bad. No, don't run, don't run, don't run. Not letting him run. Grab him again. I'ma grab you as many times as I need to get you to stop doing that. There he goes. Now he's starting to swing a little bit. Okay, well, it didn't matter. He swung on me. It didn't matter, he swung on me. Bro, you lucky tangin' on the gate. Nezuko, please. We actually, that was just lucky. We just swung through Nezuko that time. Not something I would rely on, definitely not, but... All right, I accidentally did a level two there, but it's the only thing I could've done to save me, so I'm not even gonna complain. Let's get a win up on the board, shall we? Let's get a win up on the board. That's decent damage right there. I'm gonna play safe, though, for the rest of this. Woo! No! Oh, he's guard. You're guard lookin' a little weak there. You're guard lookin' a little weak there. I saw him from across the room. You know I had to introduce myself. Speed dating with the guard. I had to see what that guard was all about. Damn, that guard was lookin' weak. I had to stop it. He just, he just crashed into me. Oh, he dodged it that time. Now he's lookin' out for my grabs. Use the armor as any two, please. Do I just land in mash here? Nice, we got behind him. Put some damage up on the board. He's got three, so we just have to save our, get out our sub-bar. I didn't save it, but it ended up being the only thing that could save me. All right, get the knockdown. No, no. Couldn't get out of that situation. Nezuko locked me down for good. Oh, no. No! No! Oh, that didn't hit him. Damn it. He's gonna try to grab me. Shut up! We actually cut him in twain. Shut up! No! Oh, please, that is to just kill. I was, I was throwing, I was throwing. Wait, who won? No! I was throwing that whole round, bro. Oh, I'm getting, oh no, I'm not. Bro, it's so weird when they just keep running at you like that. I'm not subbing out. I'll take the grab. I guess I could've jumped. Damn, there's no need to take the grab. Don't try to parry me. All right, start to come back slow. This is the kind of game where you gotta think about every move. I wanna see some meter being used before I leave. I gotta see some meter being used before I go anywhere. The grabs are so fat. Nezuko just demands too much attention from the eyes. I couldn't see, dude. I couldn't see. Well, we're gonna leave it off there. Hopefully you enjoy. We couldn't get it done in the last set. But still, this game was a lot of fun. As soon as they add a 10-gen, it's gonna be crazy, dude. Hopefully they add them soon. Let me know down below which character you would like to see get added to this game. Because I still think this game has a lot of potential if they start selling DLC. Other than that, click on some of the other videos, check those out. I have been out of do it, and I will see you in the next one.
