Your current browser is bad. Get a better one here: operagx.gg/MoldyBagel Thanks for watching, learning how to make a stage was not easy but definitely worth it :) Edit: Correction, 16's grab is the fastest at 16 frames as multiple people have pointed out. OOPS

I love how Bardock’s neutral options are just referred to as “Good Ol’ monkey buttons”.

Glad to see Android 18 being great in DBFZ. Maybe a "Why the bottom tier characters right now are bad?"

I’ve been wondering why she’s at the top of tier lists. This is why I love your videos: they teach me everything about the DBFZ meta.

9:55 It's funny how Labcoat was so broken but the devs didn't want to completely nerf her, so they slowly gave other characters her stuff, like Cooler getting the OTG buff like 18 got the (better buff) of barrier into anything she wants.

Your editing genuinely gets better every video, its like you have a time chamber for video making

Aside from the really interesting meta info in this video, something else that i find interesting about 18 is related to the release window of Fighterz. When Fighterz came out, Battle of Gods and Resurrection F had come out, and Super had progressed through the Goku Black Arc. But the Tournament of Power arc hadn’t yet aired. As such, 18 was still far and away the most popular of the Androids, at least compared to her brother. Over the years, 18 was almost always the default pick in DBZ games when picking a representative of the Android arc, after Cell. 16 usually followed, and you sometimes even got Gero before 17. 18 was simply more popular, and she got a ton of team-up moves with 17 anyway. She even got moved like the barrier that technically only 17 ever used in the show, on the grounds that the two almost certainly had the same equipment. Fighterz is interesting because it straddles the line between that era, and everyone getting hyped for 17 after the Tournament of Power. After his showing in Super, people were excited about him hard-carrying the team to victory at the end. And in a later season of DLC, Fighterz added 17 as a solo character, using moves displayed in super (and in Dragonball Xenoverse of all things). It’s just a sort of a neat time capsule of the time period that DBFZ’s release and support happened in.

WHY DOES ANDROID 17 LOOK LIKE A TOTAL BADDIE IN THE THUMBNAIL

It's incredible when you can manage to make someone like me who hasn't played since late season 1/early 2 understand everything, it makes your work come out very solid, thanks for all the effort you put in it :D

It pays to be middling in tier lists -it means you can survive the Level 3 mix nerf stick I think it's cool to see some other characters who struggled with tools to tango with the top tiers get their moment to shine in Season 4+ Hopefully we can really get loose when rollback is finally implemented in 2028 lol

That recreation of the 18 vs Vegeta fight at the start was sick! Kudos to you, Bagel!

I really don't play DBFZ on ranked, and I know almost nothing about combos in fighting games, but your videos are always interesting. Keep up the good work man!

The absolute plot twist of after ALL THAT they never changed her original Really Good Tech

18 in the thumbnail: 17! Trow it back! 17:

A18 is a really unique character especially for base roster, with extremely specific tools at the cost of stubby normals that for most of the game’s lifetime held her back from top tier status. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the stupid meter gain if you accidentally collided with the barrier though.

Android 18 is such a underused and yet a very good character in DBFZ. Similar to Majin Buu. Also great video as always!

So basically 18 got all the meta games under her belt and kept her level 3 mix from Season 1? So she got the DBFZ All Your Powers Combined. Gotcha! Also Purity Strictly & Icefield White Knight are goated music choices Moldy!

Excited to learn new things about a character I’ve been playing since launch.

MoldyVideo Bagel: How The Top-Tier Breakfast Item Rose to Fame

I've played 18 since season 2, and I'm super happy she's great now. Her and 17 are among my favorite characters in the series. Anyways, you always have good videos so I'm excited to watch this. Edit: I just finished watching. I knew you could super cancel barrier on whiff, but I had no idea you could special cancel on whiff! Great vid as always and I'm about to become a lot more evil online 😈

I knew i hadn't seen that stage anywhere! Your editing is peak dude all throughout.

Finally, the video about the European bargain duo

NAH MAN, EVERYTHING LOOKS DOPE I've never thought of using Piccolo's SBC as a sort of "Vs" Separator, that was a hella cool start to the vid! Something also is that the "Before" and "After" images / text in the bottom right is more prevalent in this vid, probably cause of the lighter tone of the stage. Speaking of IT LOOKS AWESOME AS HELL, simple, clean, and I dig it a lot. You never miss man, good stuff as always! Very informative info (I actually didn't know a lot of 18's involvement back then to now in the meta compared to the other characters besides how good her snap was) plus the music sync was AWESOME and gave me chills. My favorite moment was probably the 'bygone era' picture at the end, it was really adorable haha

Love to see you improving your editing every single time you upload homie That stage mod you made for this is amazing!

It's back!

7:38 is straight up a valorant circle smoke lmao

Hearing Orie’s theme has me so excited for Under Night 2!!

Always a good day when a MoldyBagel video shows up on my feed. Always so informative and easy to follow. Also, I gotta commend your taste in music man, feels like I gotta update my DBFZ playlist every time you upload! lmao

I love seeing the intro of all these videos, they keep getting better and better

After Blue Vegeta, SS Vegeta and now 18, it seems like whatever characters I feel like learning happen to become top tiers. I just need something for Base Goku now.

I swear you make some of the best videos on this whole damn platform. The time and effort you put in is crazy, but definitely appreciated

UNDER NIGHT MUSIC, WE STAY BALLIN quality upload as usual, keep up the fantastic work!

I really do appreciate your audio mixing. How you transitioned the pianos in the first song into the second was incredibly clever

One more thing you forgot to mention that makes her TURBO crazy is the meter gen. Your regular combos with 17 summon build about 1.25 bars, loops build almost 2 bars, but the fact you can call in 17 barrier+your own you will build about 2.5~3 bars because your opponent decided to use a beam. It’s so insane how fast she builds meter, you can run her on a heavy meter penalty team like with one of the blue fusions and lab coat and never have to worry about meter. Just build it and destroy your opponent

8:55 that music sync is pure perfection

I would love to see a tier list video done by you. It'd be the most comprehensive and funniest thing ever.

This is so incredibly well made, my god

7:32 Ah yes, the good ol' "I CAN'T SEE" from Javi.

I looove that she survived through it all, and just kept assembling relic after relic until this version of Android 18 came out. It's fascinating, as usual, to see the growth of a character through the lens of your equally griwing editing. Thsnk you very much for that ^_^ I can't wait to se if we're gonna get a Kefla one. Gotenks is mah boi, but I'm interested in seeing what makes her special.

Holy shit I have not ever touched a DBZ fighting game but I watched all the way through. Like, WHY?!? This is just how good this video is. The music, the editing, and just plain-old good info for this game's history records. Damn. I've been through a ride!

I KNEW Android 18 was next. You never fail to deliver, man.

Haven't been following this game for a while, and that last tier list with Jiren, Ginyu and Beerus at the top while Gogeta and Vegito are in lower tiers (not to mention Bardock dead last) gave me massive whiplash.

The lore accurate intro. A+ xD

your voice during the ad reads is really nice; i'm surprised that you don't do a voiceover for the rest of your videos

11:30 SHHHH. The devs will hear you!

AMAZING AND COL VIDEO AS ALWAYS

STILL the best breakdown video maker i've seen on this site. And I don't even play the game much at all. I just appreciate the quality

That intro was so well animated

MoldyBagel reminds me of Asumsaus from the melee community. Both make similiar content and are masters at their craft.

Fantastic as always

As always you're bringing the heat with each new video you release it just gets better and better. But I was wondering would it be possible to cover (anchor) Tien one day? I know he's not that popular, but like no one meter dumps as good as him.

Finally!! Something on 18! Been an 18 main since the game came out and she’s so slept on!

At this point, I'm just convinced that Moldy is just making a video on everyone being top tier.

The creation of these videos just amazes me

Thank you for solving my character crisis once again!

I don't play this game but I just love watching these videos, they're so well made, informative and fun to watch. I would love to see videos like these for other fighting games such as Guilty Gear Strive. Great video as always 👍🔥

Oh shit nice! 18 was one of my first mains at launch

Hey welcome back amigort. Stay safe out there!

i love how "nerf goku black" is on the bandai spin wheel

Bruh, those intros are amazing! Hey, don't push yourself to hard because you are on fire!

Idk whats the deal, but I keep only playing your videos in the background, and I loves it, even tho now its just music, sfx, and voice lines, something about them is addicting

17 looking caked up in the thumbnail

6:42 I’m always so surprised when I hear music from my Spotify playlist on videos from content creators I like hahaha. 😊

you could make a video about the team slots in dbfz, like how some characters are really good as anchors but terrible as points, explaining the basics of the dynamic there, that would be cool!

So... A18 is like... a tour through all the games metas? She got a bit of everything that has been good.

Every time I look at a DBFZ tier list I think of the quote from megamind “If everybody’s super nobody is!” Lmao

Android 18 has always been a stample of my team people just cant adjust to her options, So happy to see andorid 18 just keep on getting better!

Super crisp editing… as usual!

I don’t even play fighting games whatsoever but I just watch yours constantly because they’re so damn good

we got homework to do but YEAAAAH BABY THE BAGEL HAS LANDED

it's fuckin scary how Android 18 has only been middling in season one, and from all seasons onward she had some kind of tool to greatly assist in the seasons meta and being one of the ONLY characters that got to keep the nutty level three mix throughout the lifespan of DBFZ

Not everyone likes to start their morning with a moldy bagel, but I certainly do.

her level 3 oki was actually nerfed in season 2, it was somehow EVEN BETTER in season 1 'cause she could act the moment she touched the ground. She could set up a meaty medium 17 call both locking your opponent down AND baiting spark at the same time while running some basic mix, or do some disgusting 4-way ambiguous float mix that she can't do today. This video showcases some of the truly fucked up stuff she could do back in the day: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/n6Ceoqeag6eTraM.html

The reason 18 still has her lv 3 is bc she is supposed to be the mix character of the game most of her kit is for that, no character has mix engrained into her moves as 18, even the ones that had better mix in the past has been bc they had really good kits but 18's kit is spexifically made for mix

Damnnn no one gonna talk about how good that intro was??🔥

also forgot that you could double dragon rush before it was removed which added another layer to her broken snap mix in season 1

Ok this is by far the best video I’ve seen so far! 🤘🏼 Also 18 is pretty gnarly crazy character with her mix ups and tools that she’ll become a huge threat! 🫨 also spectacular as always moldy bagel! 👍🏻! (Also I’ve just reached 1k subs!)

Love the Under Night Inbirth soundtrack

This makes my heart happy.

the quality of ur vids its insane

I really appreciate all the work and effort that went into this video, and it definitely made me wanna pick the game up again after avoiding it for so long. But it also reminded me that this game was always toxic lmao. The metas for every season were always really toxic and not new player friendly, especially as the game kept going into TOD territory. I really love how much freedom and options we ended up getting in season 3 and onwards but even then people still play the game like they used to. Infinite loops that lead into TOD’s where you don’t have much time to react to mixups unless you’re really aware of the matchup which would take hundreds of hours.

The DBZ fight recreation looks great!

I stopped played after season one because of the lack of rollback, but A18 was one of my favorite characters to use when I was playing. Glad to know that she has been eating well.

Oh wow Orie's theme from under night very nice to see

We need a video about Videl just so he finally says that spot dodge is actually good.

Hey Moldy, great video as always, amazing, but i want to say something about the Beast Gohan mod. Remember how his 5M could have been one of four different knee animation but was probably a more polished version of SSG Goku? I think his 5M is 18's 3rd L Autocombo hit instead of a more polished version of SSG Goku.

4:00 when the names are blurred, but the bottom of the screen gives it away

THAT INTRO IS INSANE

its a good day when modly bagel uploads

Love these vids, ngl your stuff convinced me to buy DBFZ and it’s still my fav fighting game

Informative! Though I'm not sure why the barrier being cancellable on whiff is a big deal...?

18 celebrating the history of FighterZ

stopped playing the game since i moved because my wifi is real bad now but i used to play with android 18 with my simple no dlc game and as a bad player, i'm really happy that she's that good

10:47 Barrier being whiff cancelable has the same mortifying energy as Haggars pipe cancels from MVC3, just utter horror at this mix

now for the ultimate video bardock: a brilliant monkey

Moldy, with the way you breakdown characters and why they're good, I would happily watch you do character breakdowns from games I'm not even remotely interested in, like Strive or UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH Exe:Late[cl-r]

The quality of this dudes videos is wild now

LETS GO NEW MOLDY VIDEO!

> Barrier cancellable on whiff They gave her the Shine lmao

I simply see this as being rewarded for sticking with my character, I have been playing her since I first got the game back in early Season 2 and literally NEVER took her off my team, no-one paid attention to her until it was too late and now we’re on the last patch >:)
