Oh boy, I've done it now, this might actually be the ranking list to finally do me in. So I've been quoted in the past as saying that the only thing consistent about twisted metal is it's inconsistency. And I still stand by that. However there are a few aspects of the games that had Rock solid Staples from day one. None more iconic then the special attack. An attack that automatically regenerates and is unique for every character mostly. So I thought I'd rank them, however I overlooked the fact that there's a lot of crossover between certain special attacks. In some cases it's going to be hard to know where one special ends and another begins, and which ones get grouped together, and in many instances characters have multiple specials. Making this a very complicated list. What's the solution? There is none, this is going to be taken on a case by case basis. So all I can do is my best, so this is every Twisted Metal special attack ranked from worst to best.

The Supernova Shockwave is made even cooler in TM2 by the sounds accompanying it.

Orbital and Rob Zombies specials honestly are great for one reason most other specials dont have: combo potential. If you have an auto lob and fire it while your opponent is being sucked in they'll be taking a hefty chunk of damage and there's almost nothing they'll do about it. It also addresses the primary issue of the auto lob sometimes knocking opponents away before the full auto lob barrage hits them

@Hyde233 6 месяцев назад

I'd also like to add on that Orbital and Rob Zombie's specials are quite useful if you know how to rapid fire attacks. One unique aspect of TM4 is that each weapon has its own individual cooldown. When you shoot a weapon, you can immediately switch to the next weapon in your inventory and shoot it too. Orbital/Rob Zombie's basically become a death trap, because if you have enough weapons on hand, you can spam all of them at once and take out a good chunk of an enemy's health while they're trapped. I'm not sure if TBP is aware of rapid firing in TM4. When I watched his TM4 review, I don't recall seeing him doing it. This would probably explain why he finds the TM4 tournament modes to be so long; it goes along much quicker when you start rapid firing weapons.

My friend, your commitment to the twisted metal series is just plain ol' inspiring.

@_-Huligan-_ 6 месяцев назад

Honestly, I think you might of overlooked Crazy 8's special. If you tap in the direction your opponent is facing 3 times, it'll focus the attack in said direction. It makes it harder to keep the connection on them, but rewards you with more damage. Also, if I remember correctly, you can spam L2 once it's locked on to deal additional damage (think you can do this with both the regular and focused version). Gives it a bit more depth and dynamism when compared to Outlaw's special.

@MAXfutbol8338 6 месяцев назад

He also overlooked the L2 mashing of Outlaw's gunner in Black that shoots missiles as long as your target is in front of you for extra damage, which, like Crazy 8, adds some skill usage to the special if you want to maximize damage. Watching speedruns with those two is very enjoyable because of those techniques.

@ryjoy 6 месяцев назад

It's also not surprising that Crazy 8 has a taser when concept art shows that it was at one point intended to be Outlaw.

@dr.pepperphdindeliciousnes1396 6 месяцев назад

Same with Outlaw's special in Small Brawl. You can button mash the fire button repeatedly and it restores your health making it, arguably, one of the best Outlaw special in the series and the best special in Small Brawl.

I hope you’ll check out the show then on Peacock. They officially approved season two. I had a twisted metal Renaissance and have watched tons of videos so I know pretty much every little detail about so many characters from all the games and they take very obscure. Really cool bits about the characters, some of which that were ridiculous and hated, and just good for memes and implemented them into the show. The ending is awesome and what they set up for season two is very awesome and very twisted metal!

@jakeryan2805 6 месяцев назад

I assume you weren't aware, but the rat rocket for Vermin piloted actually can home in and snip anything from across the map. Instead of steering it, once the reticle is red you hit fire again, and zoom over to whatever was locked on. It is so good, and over powered in pop. You could just hide, and snip people with auto tracking 50 damage rockets.

@RetroRulzMyTown 6 месяцев назад

There IS one more thing about the Crazy 8 attack. If you press the same direction button 3 times and then attack, you get a more damaging surge that you could also mash the shoot button for to make it more powerful. It makes Crazy 8 insanely overpowered in the right hands, especially online. Also I'd say the derivative nature in this case isn't as bad because Outlaw IS his own character in Black with his own special attack, so it's not like a slot was stolen.

@NotsoseriousNick 6 месяцев назад

Also technically speaking, Crazy 8 was supposed to be a cop car before becoming what we know now, so it having a pseudo-omni taser actually makes sense.

@Hatsworthful 6 месяцев назад

Brimstone's special in black comes with a big plus and an equally harsh minus too: the good part is that it, either by programming error or by design, hits through shields but the downside is that you can't use any other weapons while its on the air. So if you miss pretty much all you get is to enjoy the weird doppler effect the guy's sound does and seeing him explode in mid-air like red fireworks. Also black did state that one of the few things he knew how to do was how to crap, so 'explosive dump' does fit in that regard lmao

@reyh89 6 месяцев назад

Yes and no- if you hear the scream and shield before it lands, shield works/the guy doesn’t stick. If the guy lands, you hit shield as he yells “Repent” the shield is ignored. I think it was foresight and can appreciate that. Brimstone isn’t great but somehow my favorite character lol

@Errormacro540 6 месяцев назад

Warthog's special from 2012 was probably the best special in that game. The only drawback for it is that it exposes a weak point on the undercarriage while you charge it up but it could easily kill multiple opponents in one blast. I regularly won games online using this back in the day and I was even rank 16 on the leaderboards at one point. I don't blame you for not trying to unlock him but I had so much fun with this back in the day I felt like I had to say something.

@jessejive117 6 месяцев назад

Very cool

@AshikSorel1 6 месяцев назад

For Reaper you are supposed to let the RPG cook (leave it for a set time) for max damage. The use isn't intended to be shot at cars but at the landscape and blow up everything in its blast range. It's essentially a more powerful remote bomb that is VERY hard to spot for an opponent.

@miss_tootsie_6 6 месяцев назад

Actually you forgot the fact that when you repeatedly press the fire button for crazy 8 also it does extra damage

@maxx_sev 6 месяцев назад

you were using crazy 8's special incorrectly, if you mash the Dpad in the direction of the enemy and mash the fire button it does more damage to the point where it can instantly kill any car in a matter of less than a second if you got good mashing its quite honestly in the top 10 imo with this trick and crazy 8's my go to because of it

@michaelboydston313 2 месяца назад

Damn I wish I knew about the directional part

@Harley_Mitchelly 6 месяцев назад

So... something about Vermin and the Piloted Rat Rocket. Notice the reticle on that going red? You can fire it again while the reticle is red to have it track super-fast onto a target and score more reliable hits in exchange for better than normal but not as good as a full pilot damage. Think the base is 30, piloted is 100, and this semi-piloted version is 55 or something in terms of damage. I've used Vermin before, and this lock-on mechanic does actually make him good as a surveying platform in addition to being a pest on the battlefield who can fuck off to a corner of the map and make a big chunk of it his domain to plink at enemies with.

@HeavyWeapon858 6 месяцев назад

Side note for the Mounted Gunner for Oulaw in TM Black. There's a laser sight thatll show up in the front of the vehicle if youre facing an opponent. Which, whill let you fire blood missles. Which makes the special not just a set and forget weapon.

Mr. Slam is my favourite TM character of all time. It's a shame that he didn't appear in Black and various games and also it's kinda frustrating that the slamming moves are copied multiple times and slapped on different characters throughout the series. I love the concept of a mad construction vehicle relentlessly chipping away other vehicles even though it looks goofy when I slam a vehicle that's bigger than the bulldozer.

@UnkleKlumsy1353 6 месяцев назад

I can say I largely agree, and you did a good job on this crazy list. The one counterpoint from personal preference is that I would've ranked Crazy 8's special higher since you could do a multiplier charge attack that caused a ton of satisfying extra damage and you could use it freely when the weapon was out but not being used on an enemy. It's just a fun little thing where you'd make the tesla coils arc to one another for funsies as you drove around, and it always pleased me to do so

This was a really nice video to watch, a lot of nostalgia on display. It was really cool seeing all the 2012 specials again, as that game gets left out of a lot of lists and videos. Having played it in its heyday on PS3, it was my favorite competitive experience but all that's left now is single player, which was never really the point of the game. One of the specials that wasn't talked about here because I believe it was team online only was Junkyard Dog's healing taxi. In team modes, he could heal team mates using his alt special instead of using it as a remote bomb. This made him an anchor pick in team games and even had rules set in place that only one was allowed per team. It was really cool that the community set up formats to make the game more competitive and fun. And yeah, they banned Talon from a lot of formats cause it was simply too good at everything and even had more health than Crimson Fury and Reaper.

Crazy 8's special can be coupled with L2 spam to make it a bit more powerful, and Spectre's special is really good in big maps where you can just aim someone-red marker-fire away.

Crazy 8’s Field Surge can do more damage if you tap the fire button repeatedly when shocking and do “Max Damage” if you tap the directional pad 3 times in the direction of an enemy, fire, then tap the fire button repeatedly. I think that’s worth mentioning and the reason it was my favorite special attack in TM: Black.

@jamesesterline 6 месяцев назад

I recently replayed Black as Axel and to me his wheel special is actually underrated. It is hard to ram into an opponent if you don't freeze them first but if you do land it while boosting against a weaker vehicle like Spectre or Mr Grimm you can take away almost a third of their health, plus it slightly increases your top speed and decreases incoming damage so you can use it to get away if you're low on boost and energy.

@someguy582 3 месяца назад

Hello, I've been watching a lot of your Twisted Metal videos lately, and I wanted to give my opinion on the events in TM. It's mostly just crack pot theories but, I think Sweet Tooth, Marcus and Calypso are all manifestation of a teens head, either living with neglectful, or abusive parents. With Sweet Tooth being his ID as as you called it previously and Marcus and Calypso being his ego and super ego. Sweet Tooth his carnal instinct to do bad things to people who do bad things to him, well Marcus and Calypso are his reason. The Twisted Metal tournaments are like all his personalities coming together to fight for his sanity and his superior mindset. This can also explain the games lack of continuity, Small Brawl was when he was a child, 3 and 2 are when he was still young maybe 12 or so and Black well was when he was a teen. It's not a perfect theory but it's something.

@Impalingthorn 6 месяцев назад

Glad you made the distinction on "Broken" special attacks too. Otherwise the top of this list would be VERY predictable. Henchmen is just one of those attacks where it's not even just BS in its own game series but possibly one of the most unfair attacks in gaming history. "But you can use shield and teleport cheats", do you guys REMEMBER being a whiney 6 year old in the 90's who didn't know how to activate freeze missiles and other button input commands? Because I do. Just like MK fatalities, there was a time where you either knew or you didn't and FINDING OUT how to do these things was a lot, LOT harder, and what that translated to was ENDURING Twisted Metal 4 until the final boss just tore your *** open for the first time and you got sent back to the beginning of the game. Running into that boss blind without knowledge of how to activate your shields was a DEATH SENTENCE. People tend to look back at games like these from the perspective of hardened veterans well versed with how it works rather than the dumb little babies we STARTED the game as, AKA, the average user experience. PS: Next to Black, TM4 is actually one of my favorite TM games. It's extremely flawed, yeah, but the charm is all there and that's where my subjectivity comes into play. I mention all of this because it's really easy to confuse any negativity towards the game for hatred these days.

@Xineombine 6 месяцев назад

The thing about Axel's Encasement Rage is that it also grants a massive defense buff on top of dealing contact damage. I found it useful to freeze an enemy then run them over with the Wheels, but also to use it as a slightly worse shield if I didn't have the energy for a full shield at the time.

The magnetic projectile from roadboat can do up tu 150 damage if the projectiles hit a wall before hitting an enemy. It worcs like a ricochet. The reticle coffin from shadow can be used as a remote bomb and it can do up to 120-130 damage, plus hitting multiple enemies although it isn't hard to dodge. The blood missiles from outlaw in twisted metal 2012 can be rear fired as the grenade launcher.

Each magnet does 10 damage on its own. How do damage do they do individually if ricochet them?

Mr. Grimm's Scythe in Black isn't the same as his soul catcher specials on paper, but functionally it's the exact same so it's kind of weird you separated them (both are hard to aim but both do incredible damage). But given the daunting nature of this list I'm willing to overlook it. I think boss characters or characters you need to unlock (and therefore are kind of over powered) should be given special consideration. Other than that the amount of work you did research and analysis wise was remarkable. Thumper's Twisted Metal 2 special is my all time favorite.

Spectre's Ghost missile in Black is not a garrunteed hit. You can outrun it because it has a range limit and it moves slow enough most vehicles can escape it given enough distance and a full bar of boost.

Juggernauts Drop Mines can all be realeased at once if you store up multiple specials. Better yet, if you activate the mines, dont release them and jackknife the truck, hitting the enemy with the trailer will do extra damage. Road Boats Magnets damage came from grabbing a car, using megaguns and shotguns when attached, and turbo ramming walls and other contestants. SweetBot also did a sick TurboRam animation where he does a Shoulder Tackle. I don't think Bacon knows about the TurboRam since he likely emulated the game and it requires pushing the Sixaxis controller forward costing Half of your turbo.

While Im here Id like to add that Iron Maiden isn't that bad when you know you can aim any weapons upwards with the right stick. They added that so player's could fire unguided weapons at Talon. Megaguns, power missles, and chainsaws melt her.

#45 says the vehicle's name is Zoomy Missles 😆 Death Warrant does sound like a cool special though 👀

Don't suppose you're a Mega Man fan? I'm still kinda new to the channel, but have been enjoying the back catalog of Twisted Metal videos. I'd love to see this kind of analysis done for the weapons, Robot Masters, etc. of the Mega Man games. ... No pressure if you're not! I'll keep enjoying the usual content. :)

Did you know there's a button combination you can press to make shadow topless in her alt fire in Twisted Metal Black? With the special selected, hold down all four trigger buttons and press triangle triangle triangle.
