Which Enemy In Pikmin 4 Can Eat The Most Pikmin?

Typically we do Pikmin challenges, but in this video we're doing a Pikmin experiment, to determine which enemy in Pikmin 4 has the biggest appetite and can eat the most Pikmin. The answer might surprise you.
RIP Pikmin

I actually think one of the strengths of the franchise is that the enemies really aren't that dangerous, but most people get SO emotionally attached to the Pikmin so quickly that even losing like one or two at a time feels devastating, and because it's such a negative thing you're very likely to make the situation worse if you immediately respond in panic to the sound of Pikmin being grabbed. But even speed runners are likely do have the same panic response because even if they aren't emotionally invested in the Pikmin, losing even one while trying an optimal run can seriously damage the odds of completing a task efficiently.

I must say these tests aren't very scientific as they have various variations from standing still to moving, or using a type of pikmin that doesn't make sense to use, such a blue pikmin for the pyroclasmic slooch, which could greatly change the outcome of the test. It also does not feature every enemy that can eat pikmin such as the Tusked Blowhog, Arctic Cannon Beatle or Sirehound.

@LuckyOwI777 22 күн бұрын

how does using blue pikmin instead of red pikmin for the pyroclasmic slooch greatly change the outcome of the test? The Pikmin don't get caught on fire, since the fire is on the back of the enemy. Changing to reds has no impact on how many pikmin will get eaten

@merasmusentertainment 22 күн бұрын

@@LuckyOwI777 The blue pikmin can't be as close to the Pyroclasmic Slooch and thus the Slooch had less opportunities to eat pikmin. This goes for other creatures in which Press A! didn't remain still or wasn't positioned with pikmin surrounding enemies, that's why some bulborbs didn't eat the same amount of pikmin.

@LuckyOwI777 22 күн бұрын

@@merasmusentertainment The slooch would have the same eating animation and timing if it was closer or not. It always had Pikmin in front of it to eat. The amount of Pikmin available wouldn't change. It wouldn't have more opportunities to eat Pikmin. The reason why some bulborbs ate different amounts of enemies isn't due to spacing, or being slightly further away, or not being surround by Pikmin. They simply have a range of Pikmin they can eat. You can test this out for yourself. No matter the situtaion, a bulbord will eat various amount of Pikmin each bite. This goes for other enemies as well, like the creeping crysanthemum. You can see it in this video. It eats 4 Pikmin sometimes, and sometimes it eats 3. Nothing changes about the location of the enemy or pikmin, the spacing, anything.

I think another way to measure eating ability would be to start with 20 PIkmin (since that's the max for Glow Pikmin) and then measure the time it takes for each enemy to eat them all - this could give more accurate results since you won't have situations like the Sovereign Bulbax results being worse than the Emperor Bulbax because the timer cut him off a moment before his second swallow. It would also be nice to see a chart at the end ranking all the enemies and showing how all the results compare!

@sme23 22 күн бұрын

There's too many variables not being controlled for plus the arbitrary 10-second cutoff for this data to be at all useful. What would be useful data is the maximum number of pikmin each enemy can kill in 1 attack, how long before they return to their idle state and can eat more pikmin, and the length of time after they start eating the pikmin before the pikmin dies. These are values there are consistent measurements for across all enemies that are easy to control for, rather than the inconsistent distances and resulting suboptimal bites in these results

@sblower9410 22 күн бұрын
