    Fun fact: Earthbound’s critical hit (known as smash attacks) don’t increase damage output, but instead they ignore the defense stat of the enemy.

    When you&apos;re showing clips of games on screen, would you mind adding a small label to one of the corners to let us know what the game is?

    Super Mario RPG has an item critical system. There&apos;s a chance that every item used in battle will be a freebie, so you get the effect but keep the item for another use.

    I find it funny how you talked about TFC&apos;s headshots and TF2&apos;s backstabs, but not the random crits that are extremely notorious in TF2

    Because it makes my dopamine go crazy when I see big numbers.

    The simple answer: so we can hear Frederick shout &quot;Pick a god and pray&quot; before sending someone to the afterlife.

    In wargroove, crits are based on unit specifics. For example: pikeman crit when they stand next to eachother, archers crit if they don&apos;t move this turn, mages crit when standing on mountains, knights when they move in a straight line ... Adds alot to the strategy.

    I really enjoy seeing additional effects on crits (status, self-heal, etc.). Makes them feel more &quot;special&quot; and rewards speccing into critical hit chance with more than just large numbers.

    Nothing better then hitting an enemy with Null in SMT4 and then seeing the enemy smirk and critical hit you into oblivion.

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
