I Try Out... ULTRAKILL 

Info: A short part during the Cyber Grind has muffled and edited audio due to the removal of a copyrighted song. (The video would have been blocked otherwise.)

As a wise man once said: “Human brains weren’t built for this, we’re supposed to be threshing wheat and dying of smallpox.”

Theres a cycle at work here 1: I find a fun game 2: "Merg will never play this game" 3: Merg plays said game 4: Happiness

When he said "the coin sucks" during the first swordsmachine fight my heart skipped a beat.

okay so, since you're playing ULTRAKILL, here's some hints: -Using only one weapon/weapon mod makes your "weapon freshness" go down, which can half/negate the amount of style you gain from killing enemies, so use _every_ gun/gun mod while in combat. -if an enemy flashes yellow, that means their attack can be parried at close range(although, some enemies are harder than others). for example, Malicious Faces flash yellow before launching that lazer blast, and hitting them will deal damage and negate the attack. Filth melee attacks can also be parried. -those enemies you dislike have their heads on their shoulders, so shoot the shoulders for maximum damage. -coin shots automatically target weakpoints, like head/limbshots and certain enemies' weaknesses(see above, the guy with the shoulder-heads). -certain enemies are weaker/stronger against specific weapons, so pay attention to their descriptions. -speaking of descriptions, you should *probably* read them for more tips with certain enemies. -Cybergrind graphics can be customized with _any image file_ from your computer. do with that what you will. that's it for now! if you decide to keep playing this game, keep these hints in mind! you've REALLY got the hang for it, surprisingly- love your vids, and i can't wait for the next one!

Merg playing Ultrakill is like mixing Animal Crossing with Doom, and I love it.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY Merg casually farming adrenaline with every quick-pace game he tries out.

2:20 I love how Merg just cassually punches a statue in the nuts and proceeds to not talk about it.

Merg playing and enjoying ULTRAKILL, and also so casually saying "SEX MACHINE" was not something I expected at all, but I needed it.

I've only seen Ultrakill for 54 minutes and 54 seconds but i already think it's one of the greatest games of all time

Merg playing ULTRAKILL is not something I expected, but something I needed

6:06 “but i can destroy you normally, i don’t have to parry” that’s what i thought at first, but this game is so fun you end up going for parries because it’s stylish

No way, Merg actually played Ultrakill, dude, this is the best day of my life, THANK YOUUUU Here is a tip if you want : If your planning to continue this playthrough, try to shoot ur shotgun and then immediately press f to punch, it will make the shotgun bullet explosive I have to edit this comment so many times dude wth

Merg in my 2 years of being a fan of yours this is really unexpected.Please dont abandon this game

I feel like my brain is just gonna stop getting surprised by the games Merg plays on his channel. Every day it passes, just gets more and more unpredictable, which is appreciated, cool to see he trying to keep variety.

"Friendship ended with PIZZA TOWER, I'm P'ing all over the ULTRAKILL now" - Merg's totally exact thought process I will never unhear him saying "SEX MACHINE" out loud though without years of therapy

I don't usually comment on Merg's videos anymore but seeing Merg playing ULTRAKILL unexpectedly suprises me.

Tip: You can parry almost anything in the game (including the shotgun's primary fire) and if there's a yellow flash it means you need to be at close range to be able to parry the attack (like Malicious Face's beam or the Swordmachine's sword).

This was so cool merg. Here's some very useful tips to become *god*. I know this might look a bit overwhelming, but I think you should really check out the style and the shotgun sections specifically *STYLE* - There is a weapon freshness bar below your style. Pay attention to that. If you use the same weapon/weapon mod for too long, you won't be getting ANY style from it. The multiplier there shows how much style you're getting. Switch weapons and weapon mods very frequently and you'll be styling on 'em - Switching weapons frequently is essential for being stylish, But moving around at high speeds and parrying stuff is also very important :) - You can parry almost EVERYTHING in this game. Every projectile, the melee attacks of the "frogs" :) and boss attacks with a yellow flash can be parried to deal them a lot of damage. Also, you instantly heal to max hp when you parry. *SHOTGUN* - The shotgun is extremely powerful. Try punching immediately after shooting it and see what happens ;) - Hold down shoot and press "E" rhythmically to switch weapon mods. You'll be firing MUCH quicker and dealing enormous damage. - You CAN use the overpump explosion of the shotgun. The dash gives you invulnerability, so dash just before exploding it and you'll completely negate the damage ;) - You might have noticed, but malicious faces die extremely quickly to point-blank range shotgun shots. They die to it in 3 hits. So, get up close and personal to those bois and blast them in the face >:) *MARKSMAN REVOLVER* - The coin is the single most complex thing in the game, which creates many opportunities for combos. But they're also kinda difficult to use, so don't get upset if you can't get the hang of them yet. - Try getting a hang of the trajectory of the coin. When you're moving, the trajectory of the coin will be different. For example, if you're moving sideways, the coin will also go sideways. If you're going forwards or backwards, so will the coin - When an enemy is charging up their projectile, shooting a coin at the right moment can make them go *BOOM.* - EVERY hitscan bullet will ricochet off of the coins. Even things such as the yellow explosive projectiles of malicious faces. The bullets will increase in damage with each coin. Keep this in mind when you unlock a certain superweapon ;) *WEAPON SYNERGY* - In this game, almost all weapons have some kind of interaction with others. For example, you can shoot the grenades of your shotgun with your revolver, which makes them create a huge explosion. You might wanna experiment in the sandbox, as there's so much to be discovered, and the game doesn't really teach you those things. Of course, you don't have to learn everything immediately. Take it slow. I wish you good luck with ultrakilling

Also Merg don't forget to always read the Tip of the Day in the terminal at the beggining of every single level, the hints there are pretty helpful and may teach new tech for you to do. For example try parrying your OWN shotgun shots, shoot and immediately punch

Fun fact about the coin revolver:you can bounce ANY hitscan projectile (the only one you have rn is the revolver shot the shotgun doesn't count) meaning you can utilize the charge shot of the piercer to bounce off the coin and it does more damage (coin mechanics are very interesting and complex if I were to tell you about dead coining we would be here a while)

Merg playing more shooter games is something I didnt expect but I'm glad is happening, Merg is gonna have alot of fun and *salt* with this one hehe.

Suddenly that one fan video of Merg playing Doom became canon lmao

All those no-hit Genocide Runs are finally gonna pay off. Super hype to see you playing this game, I'm not even into fps games, but this one managed to still be SUPER fun for me

WHAT NEVER IN MY LIFE DID I EXPECT MERG TO PLAY THIS MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

Hey Merg! I'm glad you like this game, it's one of my favorites, and there are some tips you can use, mostly for style. -Below your ranking you can see a meter that changes depending of how much you have used your current weapon in a row. Switch weapons when it reaches Dull to ensure getting more style points -You read this at the beginning of a level, but dashes make you briefly invulnerable to damage. If you time it right, you can use the pump charge's explosion without taking damage, but it's pretty hard so there's no need to use it now. -Don't worry about using points on weapons, that's one of the main things you use them for apart from customizing colors -You can parry almost anything (like you did with the bullets), you actually did it with some enemies but didn't notice. If it doesn't have a blue flash before the attack (for example, the flamethrower guys had a blue flash before attacking) you can probably parry it by punching just when the enemy attacks you. Also, try to parry your own shotgun when you fire it (any of the two) if you think you can get the timing right, that might help on some hard bosses, but again, the timing is hard. I hope that helped at least a little bit, love your videos!

i've just discovered your channel and i gotta say i like the vibe you bring into your videos, you're so genuine i thing i'm gonna stay!

I doubt you'll read this, but this game has crazy strategies & synergies, and coin gun is probably one of the best weapons, but its hard to use :) As for some tips, the coin you throw have the same momentum as you had when you threw it, so if you're walking left and throwing a coin, the coin will be thrown left . You can chain coins, the more coins you chain, the harder the redirected shot will hit You can deflect a charged shot from the revolver on a coin, and thus you can coin-chain with a charged shot =) Actually, the overcharge on the green shotgun can be good because as the game said, you cant take damage while dashing You can parry most of the attacks by melee-ing (even melee attacks or boss attacks) You can parry ... your own shotgun shots . (Shooting with a shotgun and punching just after will parry your bullets, accelerate them and make them explosive) You can shoot the core from the core ejector shotgun thingy There might be some tech idk about the crazy red pistol cuz I didn't even know it was in the game You can punch your coins, they will go right into an ennemy's weakpoint, deal damage, bounce and if you shoot it, its damage multiplier will be bigger If an ennemy's charging an attack and you shoot it at the righr timing, it'll explode There are also many movement tips, but I'll pass on these ones for now If a challenge seems impossible, its because this game has MANY tricks (or there might just be a way around it) Style is designated by how much you use different weapons, if you're moving while shooting, or in the air, if you're parrying attacks etc ... This game can be REALLY HARD ... but it is hella fun Musics are bangers Welp, I think that's it for now, you do not have to know everything to even finish the game (for now at least), but it makes the game more fun & fluid IMO. Anyways, I'll try giving more tips on future episodes, see ya Edit : another trick (I don't even know if it is a usebug or nah) is that you can shotgun swap, which means shooting with a shotgun, swapping to the other and you should be able to shoot again, that way you shkip the reloading animation

About the Pump Shotgun Explosion: I've never done this myself, but you can use the dash's invincibility to dash through your own explosion if you time it right. Dash then shoot, and you should take no damage.

EVERYBODY CALM DOWN OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING

53:12 i loved the part in the ultrakill movie when v1 said "i am the ultrakill" and ultrakilled all those demons

Finally, I can see this video! I wondered why the ultrakill playthrough started with limbo.

It sucks that Health - Hateful made the video get a copyright strike, but I really really appreciate you Merg for avoiding just removing the audio from that section of the video and choosing to keep the video having the full experience instead, best youtuber.

Saw this in notifications and dropped everything I was doing and immediately clicked to watch the video. Absolutely love ULTRAKILL. This game will drive you insane in the best way possible.

44:28 *yeeted into oblivion*

Hearing Merg's voice with a game like Ultrakill, now that's unique! Also, tip: There's going to be a LOT of movement techniques in the game. some of them are pretty esoteric, so you might have to look up some of them...

Can't wait to see Merg P-ranking Ultrakill levels in a few weeks just like pizza tower. Edit: I watched the entire video and Merg, you are a natural at this game. It's soo cool seeing you try out combos and things. Here's some tips for you: You can charge your pump shotgun 2 times and the press the Melee button (F) and press left click at the same time to punch your own shotgun shells. Also with the coin gun, you can throw all 4 coins at once in the air and shoot to get extra damage. also like the shotgun, you can punch the coin when it flickers.

Wow. Like actually wow I'm so excited and surprised to see you play this. Can't wait for you to experience the slightly more "difficult" levels as well. Good luck!

Now please try out BPM next! The next level of rhythm fps gaming! Addicting as hell. I 100% it too. I never 100% a game but I did somehow. That includes NO HIT RUN too

Thank you so much for playing this Merg! I've been kinda obsessed with this game for the past 2 months and it's nice to see you finally start playing it as well!

Merg and Ultrakill?! Oh my, seems awesome asf, looking forward to the no hits lmao

OH MY GOD MERG IS PLAYING ULTRAKILL???

Ultrakill is my favorite game right now. The adrenaline and dopamine you get from this game is unreal! I hope you like it :D

holy- didnt expect you to play this :0 im gonna enjoy watching this

This game is amazing, haven't played it but its gonna be great seeing merg play through it.

Duuude ,finally ! I knew you'll play ultrakill :D I am so glad to see ultrakill on your channel

Awesome to see more people playing this game! Also three thing about coins: 1. They are thrown based on what movements key you are pressing and where you look. Walk back and throw and you'll get a high and close coin. Forward, far but low. Move left or right, they'll fly respectively. It very consistent once you become aware 2.If you shoot it when it flashes or when it start whistling (After being in the air for a while) it will split into two shot that target different enemies (Both can't shoot the same target and only works with the revolver) 3. kinda spoils the fun but it might not dawn on you. Its down below Coins bounce all hitscan attacks. ANY AND ALL. Not just your own.

I used to watch your channel like 7 years back for a few years, found you through geometry dash but also watched some of your Undertale stuff at the time. Recently I've been playing quite a bit of ultrakill and with that also watched a lot of ultrakill videos. And somehow I found this video and the nostalgia is crazy, I'm gonna have to go back and watch some of your older stuff I missed now lol. Also NEVER played Undertale myself but just picked it up from steam summer sale and I'll finally try playing it soon now. Idk why I'm commenting this is just felt so happy being reunited with a channel I haven't watched in years. Love you man keep doing you! ❤

Merg, not switching weapons makes the weapons you use more frequently give you less style points, as seen in the right of the screen (fresh, used, dull, etc), so try switching weapons frequently! Also punching as soon as you shoot a shotgun will make a "projectile boost", which instantly throws a fast explosion forwards Also dashing after a fully-pumped explosion from the pump shotgun will not let you take damage from the explosion, making it a good offensive tool

ain no way our prayers worked Good to see merg playing one of the best games ever made. A tip, dont read what other people tell you to do, discover the game by yourself and dont be afraid of playing the game the wrong way in the eyes of others, if its fun for you, ultrakill has done its charm

This was a very fun gameplay, you got the hang of the game's pace really quick It's nice to see more Wait of the World update gameplays from new players, the Sharpshooter gives a nice spectacle for these, seeing how you mainly used Sharpshooter and Pump Charge, I would recomend to you to use the terminals that are located before bossfights, so you can unequip weapons that you might not use for the battle, since the Act II update came out, the weapon freshness got reworked and now every time you use a weapon it "looses freshness", so you got change weapons to get the most style of it, using a different weapon renews the freshness of other weapons, and having less weapons decreases the amount of freshness lost Hope you keep playing this game, it's one of the best games I've played in a long time

The absolute IMMENSE amount of happiness I felt when I saw this in my feed is IMMEASURABLE You're gonna love this game :) EDIT: I'll give you a funny little hint for the secret level in the Prelude... find a blue skull and put it on the blue podium, trust me it's nothing wicked :)

I’ve been wondering about this game for a while now, glad to see someone actually play it, love your vids Merg!

man i love this channel and i love this game more and seeing you playing it is like Christmas day

HOLY MOLY THIS CANNOT BE REAL One of my favorite games of all time, and one of my favorite youtubers of all time. This has to be a recipe for perfection. Chaos too. But also perfection. I'm gonna enjoy this :>

Great video! ULTRAKILL is amazing and I hope you'll continue this playthrough. Here are some tips if you do, because this game has a lot of depth. - Your shotgun pellets are projectiles, you can parry them. - If you want the explosion from the green shotgun without taking damage, you can do it while dashing, since you're invincible while dashing. - I recommend trying to get better with the green revolver variant (The one with the coins), as it's easily the most powerful tool in the game when you know what you're doing. - Parrying fully restores your health and stamina. Hope this helps! And I hope this isn't too much information at once, sorry if it is.

Just started to get into Ultrakill videos like a week ago and now merg is playing it? Hell yeah

Another banger of a game! I haven't played Ultrakill and didn't watch that many videos of it but it does look extremally fun. Would love to see a full series 👍

"Going down the elevator to hell, or the Hellevator, if you will" damn, that was a tough start, new sub.

Me seeing the thumbnail and the video Also me: smiling on the inside and out for him to be ready for the things he's going to experience later on.

Never seen this game before, but it looks pretty fun. 👀 Now I kinda wanna try it for myself.

I loved this game so much it was a great challenge. Love the content ❤

its been years since i last saw your channel, and now you're playing ultrakill i swear that your tastes in gaming are aligned with mine-

You're finally playing this!!! Congrats on 1 million🎉

A point of advice for the future, Merg. This ENTIRE game is full of moments where you ask "Can I do this?" And the answer is almost always yes. If ever you have a crazy idea like, for instance, punching forward with melee at the exact same time you fire your shotgun, yes...that does something and it's amazing. This game encourages trying new weapons and their variants, and roping them into your arsenal to become an unstoppable killing machine, so don't be afraid to try any crazy ideas that may pop into your head.

You'll have a lot of fun with this game, hope to see more of it.

Health is one of my favorite bands so watching you play with that song in the background got me so hyped up :')

MERG I REMEMBER WATCHING YOUR UNDERTALE CONTENT IN LIKE 2017 AND ULTRAKILL IS ONE OF MY FAV GAMES EVER

Merg you can parry your own shotgun shells with careful timing and you can fire, press e, then fire again, then press e, this is to rapid fire the shotgun. Also you can use core eject and shoot it to explode it, and later in the game you get a powerful weapon which causes a huge explosion when you shoot the core eject

I would have never thought that this was coming... But it genuenly made my day. Thank yo, Merg

Glad you’re checking this out! Hope you have fun if you want to play it for the channel or on your own time :) I do recommend you read through the enemy entries and strategies within them, I’ll just say that all variants have a purpose! Keep experimenting!

This is completely unexpected but oh my god I’m so happy more people are playing this awesome ass game

WHAT. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!? this came literally out of damn nowhere!? Dude you are gonna LOVE this. Thank you merg, im sure you will absolutely love this game, might be a biiiit too savage for you but im sure you'll fall in love with turning those sinners into gore soon enough Edit: wow i wasn't expecting mergs video to be this similar to Markiplier's one

maan i aint watch you in a hot minute merg glad you're still making videos especially on this helluva game

Merg, I warn you even though you are the strongest man i know, Perfect Running everything here will be an absolute *hell* of a challenge. I recently just beat every level including the secret ones and it had literally made me sick for the rest of the night so uhh have fun merg

no way how do you always manage to find and play the best game ever, thank you merg

No youtuber gives me the amount of joy that you do, I find myself watching games I've previously not been interested in just because you play them.

51:36 At this moment, merg slowly realizes he can parry his own bullets.

Man this guy never fails to surprise me by what game hes gonna play

HE PLAYED ULTRAKILL HOLY SHIT

I never expected this video, since I also love ultrakill! Thank you so much for playing this game, not only is it nice seeing more youtubers play this game, you are bringing more people to play the game so thank you so much merg!

this upload is so crazy me and a friend started playing ultrakill a week ago and now you're playing it! Great to see that you're still doing diverse content merg!

I really wasnt expecting this Merg but I wish you luck with this lol. Also I hope you play more of this. :3

Im quite excited to see you play Ultrakill. This game is just absolutely wild and has so many things that the game doesnt even explain, so id recommend to watch some stuff for beginners. Especially HerbMessia's video about the coins because those are really overpowered. Trav Guy's videos also get quite technical with enemies and weapons, so id recommend those aswell. Everything else should be up to you too learn, like movement and combos. I could probably rant for a while about this game but i dont wanna take some surprises for later away.

THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED, my favorite creator plays my favorite game!

I didn't know I needed this, but I needed this.

this game is my literal stress reliever

nice! though, you should try switching variants and weapons constantly, that will give you the most style out of anything, because your multiplier stays high, its the little thing below the style meter that says things like "dull", "used", "fresh", etc

Never expected to see one of my favorite undertale ytber legit play my new fav game its the combo of the century! Heres a fun tip for you to use. You can parry your own shotgun shot and its very "stylish". Youll have to fire your shotgun then punch it almost immediately after the shot. Speaking of style your supposed to combo your weapons with the others as they can interact with eachother. E.g. throwing a coin then firing a charged piercing shot at it. Never uae the same weapon for too long. If youve noticed it yet, theres a bar saying "fresh weapon bonus" as you use the same weaoon for longer the more "stale" it becomes which lowers you style gain. Moving fast also helps with style up to x3 gain, you may gain this multiplier via being in midair and sliding. Every projectile thats about to be fires can be parried, there will be a yellow "flash" that telegraphs this, a blue flash will mean it is not parryable. Goodluck with the future levels champ!

Hey Merg!Glad to see you made a series on this game bc I was interested in it for a long time and couldn't find any proper playthroughs!All though,untill I buy it,can you pretty please read the whole descriptions of enemies bc I am really interested in the lore behind them!I hope you are enjoying the game! :)

Merg makes our day everytime he uploads😊❤

I love how good you are at dodging in this game despite never playing it before

Merg during the part with edited out audio: This music is going pretty hard Me: uh huh yea I agree and am very much also enjoying the music

I used to watch Merg as a kid. His voice hits me with nostalgia.

Genuinely excited for this, you have no idea. I hope you have fun with this game Merg! Edit: Just a quick tip: You can parry a very large amount of stuff that the game throws at you, even some melee attacks! Not to mention, that you'll actually heal and regain your stamina upon a successful parry. The FOV makes it a little hard to time, but parrying is worth it if you're able to!

This is a very bad time to not be caught up on Merg uploads

Whaaaa that was epic! Can't wait to see the next episode :DD

its so fun watching people play ultrakill for the first time. its the purest form of gameplay

Merg is literally the last guy I thought who would play Ultrakill.

Merg playing ULTRAKILL is quite unexpected and i Im all in for it!
