trying to expand my Arino folder, if anyone can help me
why doesn't arino start with the pad on his head?
Posting for Kibe is a weird autist
What the fuck was with that FPS with the meme faces in the Vietnam special

Are the Shiren the Wanderer episodes from season 12 subbed anywhere? Can't find em.
>>3020570
>playing the super famicom version of Final Fight
He deserves to be shot.
>>3020941
They're subbed on the Retro Game Master DVD.
>>3020570
why png though, it takes forever to load and arino pics must load as fast as a gun shot

>shot
>>3020918
I think most poorer asian countries are content to play whatever shovelware garbage they can find. That is the sense I get.
They should let him play more Mega Drive games.
>>3021405
Like a Dynamite Headdy 2 part episode?
Happy Birthday Day, Arino Shinya!
>>3021405
Kibe pls
Next episode is something from Nichibutsu? Have they done any of those before?
>>3022046
I looked up the company's list of games. They played Crazy Climber last season.
The JP fans are going nuts. Yume Penguin Monogatariis apparently the new record holder for shortest challenge ever.
>>3022203
Have you seen it?
>>3022268
I doubt he saw it. The stream blog just popped up in the news paste a little while ago.

GOD DAMMIT ARINO, YOU HAD ONE JOB

Yeah, it was edited as if he was going to win, and them BAM, fuck you.

He didn't even used his magic, he could have won that one

I'm guessing Booby Kids
>>3023106
To be fair, ActRaiser's final boss rush is harsh as fuck.
>>3022091It took him exactly one hour and 35 minutes to beat the game. I'm not surprised in the slightest that he beat it so fast since it was quite obviously made for really young kids.
>>3023763
its mostly magic/health management, Arino was doing surprisingly well aside from trying to tank the flaming wheel guy and the minotaur

I wonder if Arino could handle Seicross.

can any kind anon's help me find out what song plays in 12:12 of this episode of GCCX

>that much fucking drama
having beaten mario 64 only makes this scene more hilarious to watch
>>3024404
Yes, but mostly old shit. And everything looks filthy. The casino thing is disappointing too. I still enjoyed it because I'm a faggot for Arino.
>>3025824
Hard to believe this is song is still used to this day for the "try this one" segment... at least I think?
>>3025894
I am watching part 2 right now and i must admit, watching Arino figure out all the ins and outs on his own and simply not suck feels really damn good, too bad he will probably reset to his usual unlucky mode after this
>>3025963
from the wikipedia page
>The song used during Arino's arcade field trip adventures is called 異国のしらべ from HEAT WAVE
>>3025995
And I just found it in the pastebin assorted links. Track 19 here.

Am i supposed to only recognize maybe 4 or 5 of these?
>Headhunter music will never return
Hypest track in the whole show even if it lasted next to nothing.
>>3026060
It probably depends on how much of the show you've seen. There's some obscure things in there from a bunch of different seasons.
>>3026073
Maybe its because they only use very short tracks of some of these, i actually kekd when i heard the beginning of king of pleasure, felt like a child who just discovered the sound test option for the first time
>>3026069
That one is so good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGrN_RD86C4
>>3026069
>>3026075
W-Wait, did they stopped using this one? Since when?
>>3026083
They used it a lot in the earlier seasons. I don't remember exactly when they drifted away from it.
>>3026083
Literally as early as Season 4 (20+). Sometimes I just put pre-Season 4 episodes because of that track alone.
>>3026086
I'm actually scared of watching any upcoming episodes now, i am still on season 4, it would be like jumping from the first Harry Potter movie straight to the last one
>>3026092
When it was first translated years ago the order was all over the place.
>>3026102
considering how much continuity this show has it must have been awful, jumping between solid Arino and punished Arino over and over
>>3026075
They used another "hype" soundtrack, it was from a 80 movie, can't remember which one, but it was some Indiana Jones bootleg
Any particular reasons why seasons 5 and 6 are shorter than the others?
>>3026191
5th was shorter because of Arino's daughter birth.
Don't know/remember about 6th
>>3026475
I need to rewatch it in order, should be fun.
>>3026034
dude thanks this is sweet
>>3026475
>I think seasons 1-15 are now completely subbed.
Season 1 still has a bunch of episodes where only the little challenge was subbed. The list in the pastebin says which ones.
>>3026958
It says Metroid in Season 2 is an unfinished sub too.
>>3026963
Also a lot of specials that weren't subbed.
>>3027160
CHESS !!
Arino's advanced tactics!
I really wonder how that dried squid on a stick he always snacks on tastes.
Can't find a picture right now but you guys should know what I mean.
>>3027173
Kek read your post right before it happened in the episode
>>3026060
As the one that made that soundtrack compilation, yes. Very many tracks were just used for a single episode, or only like a ten second snippet was used for a segment intro. Some tracks you need to listen to for a fair time before you hear the bit they used (Quatermain March and Jack's Theme, for instance). And some tracks are the original songs that were covered for some segment intros (Hello Goodbye and Chijou No Hoshi).
This isn't something that just I did for shits and giggles, the actual soundtrack CD (tracks 1 through 17) also have some quite questionable picks (when the fuck was Jagged Heart Lullaby used in the show? I asked this several times and never got an answer), so I just continued the theme.
Though the Challenge Piano Medley track was just something somebody linked in the thread and which I threw in for shits and giggles, that's true.
>>3027553
The first track on the official soundtrack CD, the Cameraman Abe music, is a 128 kbps MP3 that's been turned into a WAV file.
>>3027353
Like vinegar and dried squid.
You ever have dried squid? Think like that with some vinegar.
What games do you want Arino to play?
I really want him to play EVO: The Search for Eden. I just want to see what fucked up shit he can create.
>>3028337
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Kage for the NES
Any Kinnikuman game
Arino already played a bunch of NES games i love so i am okay
Who picks which episodes get translated? The Vietnam special had the most fucking boring game I've seen him play.
>>3028337
I'd like to see an actual RPG, either Chrono Trigger like the other anon mentioned, SR RPG, or one of the Dragon Quest games (whichever is shortest). It would make a cool 2 or 3 part "epic journey" challenge. Arino loves grinding so he'd probably be down.
>>3028381
An episode has 1200 lines to time. Someone does all that for many days and then if a translator doesn't like the episode it basically sits for years, useless.
>>3028386
Someone post a picture for this guy about Arino getting excited for a DraQue challenge, including the grinding, and Kibe shutting him down with his typical lack of humor.

>>3026194
They didn't offer an official reason for season 6 having only eight episodes. It was the only season that featured a proper ending - should it be the last one, they tried to finish it on a high note.
>>3028423
>Someone does all that for many days
Uh oh, looks like we've got a dumb retard here!
>>3028337
Alien Soldier & Gain Ground
>>3028423
>timing
it takes me like 2 hours to time an episode of anime
a GCCX episode shouldn't take more than 4 to time. timing is literally the easiest step
except "typesetting" :^)
>p-please let me be the typesetter for the group guys i want my name in the credits pretty please
>>3028337
There are still Famicom Rockman games left that he hasn't played yet and it's been quite a while since the last one. They're always a highlight for me.
>>3028337
Silent Hill
>>3026963
is this true? i watched it not too long ago and it seemed complete to me. can someone verify it?
>>3028337
it would never happen but doom would be amazing.
next game is Seicross
>>3028928
>>3029504
The point was to provide an answer to who decides which episodes are translated. Either you have the first scenario in which episodes are pre-timed/"typeset" and the translator decides when to act on them, or else you have a translator making demands from on high for ad hoc timed episodes. In either case, it's the translator.
Your Ouder Mongolian kinetoscopes are 22 minutes long and GCCX is 58 minutes.
>>3028337
Alien Soldier
A Boy and his Blob
Batman

Mega Man 6

Earthworm Jim 2
Toy Story
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
The Terminator(PAL)(MegaCD)
ECCO
Road Rash 3
Medievil
Resident Evil 3
All good fun, plus I believe Arino could beat all of these.
>>3030542
What would you do for StarTropics, have Nakayama by his side the whole time awkwardly translating?
>>3030387
I just verified this. The list says TV-Nihon made an incomplete sub for Metroid. My copy of the sub is less than 43 minutes long. The three interview people on the list are in the intro screen at the start of the sub, but the interview isn't in the sub. TV-Nihon must have cut out about 15 minutes.
So, I found a hard drive that I torrented Game Center CX into a long time ago. My download was incomplete. Should I try to torrent it again, or is it easy enough to find everything on YouTube / streaming?
>>3030716
Whatever floats your boat, some youtube channels have videos that don't look or sound like dogshit but if that isn't your thing you can always torrent
>>3030716
You could name the eps in the same way as the new big torrent on Nyaa and let it repair and complete the collection
How did the fanbase react to this at the time?
>>3030542
Didn't he already play RE: DC?
>>3030910
Resident Evil was on a DVD so it will never be translated
>>3028337
I personally think seeing him try to beat Wily in Megaman 7 would be worthwhile. It'd probably take half the episode, though.
Shadowgate (See: http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/57110190335/the-shadowgate-heros-deaths-in-japanese )

Why?

>boy and his blob
arino would be lost and would need TONS of AD help
>TMNT
i could see him getting to level 4 but no further, he'd spend all day on level 3 and beat it at the last moment before the challenge time was up

that would be a complete disaster

I can already see how this one plays out

that would be fun, though i don't see him beating the joker
>>3031110
>bucky o'hare
i played and beat this 20 years ago, let me tell ya it's long for an NES platformer and the last boss is a total bitch, arino could beat it but it'd take him several hours and well over 100 tries to beat the last boss
New translation on NYAA
>>3031362
It's not a new translation. That was translated like three years ago. What's with the ebin trollname on it?
>>3031381
Just because a translation is old doesn't mean a release can't be new / high def / high framerate / softsubbed.
The name rings out across the internet by way of true-framerate releases, you're famous.
>>3031448
Were you the one ranting at the end of the last thread? I have my problems with the sub groups like anyone else, but you stealing a translation is a really low move.
>>3025812
how do you even watch those episodes,the edit they made to escape copyright issues distracts me
>>3031660
If you've never heard how hilarious Arino sounds when he says "DraQue" then it's clearly not burned into your brain.
>>3028337
I was hoping that he would play Crash Bandicoot this season given that they lifted the ban on 5th gen consoles (Remember that?) and the series' popularity in Japan.
is there a good list of all music used? i've found some lists before but never includes what i'm looking for
>>3032189
There used to be one on youtube but then half the songs got delete for copyrights.
>>3032192
yeah ran into that early on, guess i'll have to track down an episode with the song im looking for
>>3021858
Is she gon eat it all?
>>3031505
Well than hurry up.
>>3031215
Not the guy who you originally replied to, but what would take so long?
Also do you know which boxset the challenge was on? I really want to see that episode so I may buy it
>>3032831
nvm I've just found it on the pasta, DVD Boxset 12
>>3032831
>>3032835
And I just ordered Boxset 12, should get it in a week.
>>3032947

>ECCO

sounds hilarious, he'd alternate between KOWAI and making jokes about all the fish. would watch/10
I wonder of any of the people who made the levels on that Mario Maker episode even know about GCCX.
>>3033346
Well one of them posts on SA and just sent him that bottle of whiskey that was mentioned in the episode.
>>3034242
He probably means the first Mario Maker episode since I'm pretty sure you specifically had to submit your level to GCCX to have a shot at it being chosen in the live show.
>>3034253
Ah I see
>>3030936
what's with the high frame rate? freakin' me out
It can't be in the original footage because even the game looks weirdly higher in frame rate.
>>3034360
60FPS
0
F
P
S
>>3034360
What framerate are you under the assumption that NES games typically ran at? If that wasn't the framerate then the video wouldn't pick it up.
I'm glad the subbers got on the 60fps train recently, the old 30fps ones feel a little off when I watch them now.
>>3034783
Too bad.
>Ghouls'n ghosts episode
>the extended playthrough
Just like my japanese cartoons
Is the MD Ghouls n Ghosts different enough from SGnG for him to challenge?
>>3035608
As someone who played and beat SGnG i can safely say its a completely different game, it feels more like an remake than its own thing, its also slightly easier than the version Arino played
>>3035608
I'm confused. Arino has already challenged every classic GnG game aside from GB Gargoyle's Quest and Demon's Crest.
>>3035721
there are multiple ports of Ghouls n Ghosts, some of them have different levels and difficulty
>>3035721
>Demon's Crest
I want Arino to play this so badly, i want to see how his relationship with Firebrand will change considering everything that happened with the ghouls games
>>3035734
But he already played both MD GnG and SGnG. Seasons 5 and 7 respectively.
>>3035742
>SGnG is a completely different game.
Which he also played, I should have said. He played the whole classic trilogy.
>>3035737
Its not hard to imagine to be honest
>"haha, i'm playing as Firebrand now, i can't die [staff laughs]"
>dies 3 times for the undead dragon

>gets killed at least once

>>3035776
True
>>3036000
Trips confirm Demon's Crest will be challenged.
>>3035776
Fire brand sounds cooler to be honest
>>3035758

I'm kind of bothered by reading the word "Masterpiece" as often as I do with the show's fan subtitles. Is it a word that doesn't have a better translation, or do the japs really mean it?
>>3036738
Sure you do m8
>>3036757
The question here is "why?"
>>3036765
>wanting to use a CRT for retro games
yeah okay that's fine to each their own
>wanting to watch a show produced after 2000 in lower quality than it was released in
full retard.
>>3036778
70% of footage is still just showing 90s games anyway
>>3036782
>>3036761
Dude because it eats disk space like a motherfucker. And let's face it, it's mostly a guy sitting on a chair playing games that barely reach 360p. ~30fps and 480p are plenty for this.
Yes, I know, "buy another disk", and while it's true that it's not all that much money per tb, if every show went as elitist with video encodes, it would scalate real quick. I have a huge screen and I don't see any distracting artifacts when watching in full screen in 480p, if you guys are so distracted by a stray pixel or a "slightly off" motion, maybe the problem is on you.
>>3035776
>his name is Yoshi !
Firebrand is a Red Arremer
>>3036795
>>3036793
yeah bros just watching me some epic game center in reduced quality for le epic nostalgy. you're right it IS better this way.
>>3036805
64 colors are more than enough.
>>3036793
Hey, whatever floats your boat. As long as we're all having fun with this show, this shouldn't even be a point of discussion.
>>3036793
Not to mention people with toasters that can't decode 720p 30fps video let alone 1080i/p at a high rate.
The show should be accessible to everyone, right?
>>3036792
i love this argument
>>3028337
Dengeki Big Bang/Clash at Demonhead. I finally set aside some time to play a ROM of it a couple years ago - no internet, no help, just me and a notebook - and I felt like a kid again.
>>3032178
>I was hoping that he would play Crash Bandicoot
This.
>they lifted the ban on 5th gen consoles (Remember that?)
I don't? Please explain.
>>3037165
They announced it at the end of Season 18. It says it on Season 19 on the pastebin episode list. They played a couple more PS1 games this season but that's it so far.
>>3037040
That's a software problem. Install MPC-HC with MadVR as renderer, solve all your problems. Not that it's believable that someone with a toaster would whip out Handbrake for every hour of video they want to watch.
>>3026075
They should do a Headhunter episode at some point. Sure, the game never came out in Japan, but they could find a way to do it.
>>3024707
http://otn.fujitv.co.jp/gamecenter/index.html
Seicross it is.
>>3037559
>I did not know of a ban of any means.
It wasn't a serious ban like they were absolutely forbidden or anything. Even the list says soft "ban" like that in quotes like it was kind of a joke thing.
>>3037569
Man I LOVE them nip sites and their passion for old styled web pages and simple ads. So freaking smooth.
Oh god, please someone tell me Inoue stops being such a spaghetti factory at some point
>>3037635
Season 9 will blow your mind.Nakayama is much more awkward.
>>3037629
same
I don't know why the rest of the world has to complicate things so much.
>>3037809
It also loads in a jiffy and just by looking at the source you can see why. Why does everything have to be bloated these days. Please never get tips from western sites, Japan.
>>3037775
On the other hand that guy eventually turned out to have bigger balls than anyone here when they did the Budokan event.
>>3037569
Does it even have an ending?
>>3038284
>Budokan event
explain please?
>>3038436
They did a live event at the Nippon Budokan a couple of years back, it's in season 17.
One of the things that happened there was Nakayama singing Last Continue in front of 10,000+ people which is damn impressive especially for such an obvious introvert.
https://youtu.be/PB3Hncv6KfM?t=1726
can someone tell me the name of this song?
>>3039898
Thanks!
>>3039910
No problem.
>>3028337
Dino Crisis
Rayman
Rayman 2
Oddworld
Doom (either PS1 version or Doom 64)
Ferrari F355 Challenge
Doom had its chance with the Kacho, and that dirty cartridge in the USA episode totally blew it.
>>3042446
A cartridge being dirty has nothing to do with a Commodore monitor's inability to resolve a 448i signal
So, the reason why that thing with the king happens during season 6 is because Arino kept failing the challenges? Does that mean he will manage to recover at the last second or something?
>>3042573
Similar weird thing happens with the intro every 6 seasons, season 12 and season 18 also do it. They just like to play around with it.
So who played GCCX3DS here? Just got the game and my japanese isn't that good so I figured out someone could give me some tips links or any useful information about the game itself
>>3031315
That's why I want to see him play Bucky, though. It's a hard-as-balls NES game, which is right up GCCX's alley.
I mostly just want to see the look on his face when he's in the final stretch and thinks he's won -- and then suddenly it's a side-scrolling shooter.
>>3041931
>Doom (either PS1 version or Doom 64)
I think he'd complain about motion sickness after like half an hour desu
>Ferrari F355 Challenge
I'd like this (or any other "real racer") but I think I would prefer Gran Turismo. Kacho playing GT1 sounds comfy as shit. Like, Tokimemo/Densha episodes level of comfy.
Why is Urakawa so fucking based?
>>3021858
what is this from?
>>3044403
I think Doom and the like would be better suited for a new segment where he plays a bit of and rates different western PC games like they did with the SG - 1000
>>3044993
also, maybe it could be called "It came from the west" and start with a stereotypical western movie them and how much he liked a game would be rated by how loudly he shouted "YEE HAW!!!"
>>3044979
It's from one of the mobile app clips. There's a couple subscription links in the pastebin in their product section.
>that Mighty Bomb Jack
Is Arino literally the real life equivalent of a anime protagonist? He doesn't always win, hell, he loses a lot, but when he wins, god damn he wins
>>3046485
>Is Arino literally the real life equivalent of an anime protagonist?
Pretty much, considering the show is as scripted as any anime is.
>>3046496
How scripted it is? Does he play bad on purpose?
>>3046507
No, it's mostly unscripted. The scripted stuff is things like when he introduces the game and whatnot, not the gameplay or the outcome of the challenges. They even make jokes about the cuecards and similar things several times during the show.
Obviously he plays up his reactions for the camera but that's a given.

I want him to play Donkey Kong Country 3. He clearly enjoyed the first two so I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up sooner.

They waited more than four years between 1 and 2. It might be another couple seasons before they get to 3.

He's lying. It's some retarded meme on GCCX generals that pops up every now and then.

I get a feeling that he would enjoy it.
Am I the only one who gets really freaked out when Producer Kon goes into his srs bsns mode? I try to tell myself he's just acting like the bad guy, which he said in an interview I read once, but damn it's such a jarring contrast from the light-hearted nature of the show as a whole.
I remember he seemed to get mad when Arino kept forgetting to save during Derby Stallion, but are there any other moments like that?
Is this an actual thing or am i being rused? If its real where can i read it?
>>3049461
That's in Book 3. I think I saw it somewhere in the pastebin too.

You're welcome.
>>3048856
Kan comes in and scowls at Arino every once in a while. I get the feeling it's half serious and half joking.
>>3048856
His creepy voice during the entire Clock Tower episode weirds me out
Does anybody know why did they stop the "sing what you want" section on season 10? They state it was "due to circumstances". Not that I thought it was especially great or anything, but it made me curious.
>>3049642
Guy tried to steal on Arino's family. He's not an e-celebrity (a cuck), he's a comedian who plays retro games. So he wasn't having it.
>>3049675
>Guy tried to steal on Arino's family
details? I am curious
I d-don't think the show is going on for too long, lads
Arino looks so old, tired and uninterested in games now
I miss his not-so-young-but-still-young spirit from midseasons
>>3049901
>Arino looks so old, tired and uninterested in games now
Of course a 44-year-old guy who works constantly is going to look a little old, but I've no idea where you're pulling "tired and uninterested in games" from.
>>3049909
from the last episodes
i don't get the vibe he's having fun with the show anymore
>>3049901
This season will finish in two weeks, we'll see if they'll go forward with Season 20 or not. I think that the show will be on the air long enough to celebrate its 15th anniversary. Beyond that, who knows.
>>3049912
You're just imagining things, aside from the hilarious perm the last few episodes could be from anywhere in the show. If they'll stop doing GCCX it won't be because Arino is tired of video games.
>>3049742
It's another one of those retarded /vr/ GCCX general memes.
There are some people in these threads who try to spread bullshit they made up about Arino. It's been like this for years.
>>3049901
People have been saying the same about Gaki no Tsukai for a very long time and it's still on air.
It''s even become a running gag that the next batsu game will be the last one.
>>3050169
With GnT it's at least more likely since Downtown for them has always been much more of a full-time job than GCCX is for Arino. While there's a lot of work in the latter as well especially now that it's so popular, it's not something he does on a daily basis so the odds of him burning out on games are low. If anything he appreciates them more than most of us considering how little downtime outside of work he seems to have.
Whether or not GCCX continues is up to the producer(s) and I don't think they've expressed any sentiments about not doing the show much longer.
New episode: Pulseman!

Cool, I didn't except them to release anything until April or so. I wonder how many translations they have just sitting on the backburner.
>>3050468
That's great. I actually forgot he did this one.
So that means just 2 2 part episodes until season 16 is finished, right?
>>3050539
>So that means just 2 2 part episodes until season 16 is finished, right?
Nah, aside from those there's still Kung Fu Heroes, VICE - Project Doom and Mansion of Hidden Souls.
>>3050539
Not quite.
Kung Fu Heroes, Dynamite Headdy (2 parts), Captain Tsubasa (2 parts), Vice: Project Doom and Mansion of Hidden Souls are all still missing.
Still, they're doing well by me to clean up all these "old" episodes.
>>3050468
Hell yeah.
>>3049642
I think it might have been due to copyright reasons or maybe they weren't receiving so much material from viewers to make up a good enough section.

I think Arino is still damn fine and entertaining. His interaction with ADs is still hilarious - although they downplayed the DOROBO gag with Oosuka lately.
If anything, the editing isn't what it used to be. There's way too much focus on Arino's playing skills and less emphasis on telling a compelling story out of it. Earlier seasons put much more effort on this, the dramatic music, narration and everything.
>that guest appearance on season 7's first episode
Fucking gamer girls, go home
>>3051226
>muh e-celebs
this has nothing to do with the conversation
>Arino was visibly annoyed by the entrant who forced him to sing that his wife is attractive but his children are ugly like him. The segment was immediately cancelled forever.
i am sure you can show me evidence of this, right?
>>3051528
So you took that out of your ass, got it
>>3051551
Show me evidence that it was due to copyright reasons or maybe they weren't receiving so much material from viewers to make up a good enough section.
>>3051574
i am not even the other guy, and two wrongs don't make a right
>>3050468
>Pulseman!
And thus the collection becomes a little more complete. Hopefully this means they will finally do Vice:Project Doom.
>>3051663
Now we can go a few days without people claiming that SA / GCCX hate Megadrive games.
So this just came in the mail
Is it wrong that i enjoy the segments way more than the challenges? Specially TaMaGe
It's just more fun watching Arino screw around Japan than seeing him play the games, specially when they have to script it up something to make it more interesting (or make arino fumbles on purpose)
The specials will always be more interesting to me because of that. Southernmost/Northernmost travelogues are great
>that guy on youtube that said he would put up the english subbed version of shiren the wanderer
>it's still not up after 2 weeks
>>3052354
Are you planning to rip the Resident Evil challenge?
>>3052375
Yeah that was the plan.
Tho I haven't ripped a DVD in years; just downloaded handbrake, and am currently ripping it with base settings see how it turns out (if anyone has tips on what settings I should use you're welcome)
also that's a pretty long challenge, haven't watched it yet but it's 80min long
>>3051671
An exception does not weed out the rule.
>>3052360
>specially when they have to script it up something to make it more interesting (or make arino fumbles on purpose)

Reminder that the ADs are the true heroes of GCCX.
>>3052950
I'm not saying the entire challenge is scripted, frendo. But many "moments" in the show history are, to make for more interesting television. Like his exaggerated reactions or arino casually forgetting to continue the game to make the final hours more tense in a game that he was coasting till that moment. You can deny all you want but when arino is having too much of a good time that doesnt make a good episode and the staff have to improvise in several ways to make it more watchable
>>3052983
I kind of doubt that. If you assume that there is interference to create "moments" for the sake of interesting television, a lot of things don't make sense anymore.
Like Arino just casually coasting through the hardest section of Ninja Spirit. Episodes like Parappa The Rapper, the quick clears without any real problem whatsoever. Episodes like Tomato Kingdom, which are just atrocious front-to-back and should have been scrapped from the get-go. Episodes like Ocarina of Time, where like half the game is just skipped because it took too long.
If they're interfering to create more interesting television, then they're doing kind of a bad job at it.
Arino is incompetent enough that he creates enough problems on his own, seen in things like the live Super Mario Kart challenge versus fans in the Paris Special where he was just completely atrocious, and he's charismatic enough that he can make episodes where he's doing well fun as well.
Also, are you implying that things like the miracle clear in the Super Bomb Jack were made possible through such tampering and the live audience just shut up about it?
Seems to me that the more we assume that scripting goes into a GCCX episode, the more questions pop up as to why those things weren't scripted as well, and I feel like his displays in some of the live specials show well enough that yes, he's totally capable of making these stupid mistakes over and over again on his own accord.
