History Awesome / NicoB

* Spending five minutes on the ThatOneBoss for Kingdom Hearts will show you these boss fights: Riku!Ansem, Ursula, the Ruler Of The Sky, Zack, Rinzler, and Anti Black Coat Nightmare. What do these all have in common? He plays this series blind (at least, he claims), he plays on the highest difficulty, and he beats all of them in one try. Some significant features of note:

** In ''Dream Drop Distance'', he managed to beat the infamous [[GoddamnedBoss Rinzler]] ''[[UpToEleven on his first try]]'', and without much apparent difficulty.

** For Birth By Sleep, he beat Zack using a magic based set of commands. For those who don't know, you fight Zack with Terra, who isn't very good at magic. Not only that, but he was using [[YouShallNotEvadeMe Magnega]], [[KillItWithIce Deep]] [[HumanPopsicle Freeze]], and [[SingleStrokeBattle Zantet]][[OneHitKill suken]], which do very little against bosses, effectively only having half of his normal command deck to work with.

** While not too much of a plot twist, the fact he can get two seemingly irrelevant characters as the bad guy,[[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate Dr. Nakabachi]]]] and [[spoiler: [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Quercus Alba]]]], means he also self-aware about the laws of video games compared to most.

** In ZeroTimeDilemma he figured out [[spoiler: that Phi is the daughter of Sigma and Diane]] and only because of his GenreSavvy attributes on the ZeroEscape Trilogy
** Getting the [[BigBad mastermind]] of Ace Attorney Investigations 2 correct ahead of time despite not even reaching the part where he should be aware of the possibility.

* Unlocking all of the ending paths in VideoGame/DevilSurvivor in a single playthrough, without use of a walkthrough and only the comments of the Picky Penguins telling him how well he's doing to that point.

%% The troper that originally made this: When I originally wrote this, I made quite a few mistakes, with Demyx being one of the big ones. Please do not add him back, Nico DID lose to his normal version.

* Unlocking all of the ending paths in VideoGame/DevilSurvivor in a single playthrough.

** Before Apollo Justice, his best voice was probably [[{{VideoGame/Persona}} Igor.]] Many comments on this first video in the Persona 4 Golden let's play talk about how mistook Nico for Igor at least once. Unlike Kristoph, he didn't take Igor as seriously, but if he did, it would be almost impossible to tell the difference between Igor and Nico's voice.

** While Nico had Leaf Bracer available to him in Ursula's battle, he didn't equip it, so he would be able to be damage by her spell spam if he tried to heal.

* RikuAnsem's ThatOneAttack, Dark Aura, begins with the boss rushing you repeatedly then creating a bunch of energy pillars out of the floor with little telegraphing to where they'll appear. Nico manages to avoid the latter by ''standing still'' not once, not twice, not three times, but 5 or 6 times throughout the fight.

* Spending five minutes on the ThatOneBoss for Kingdom Hearts will show you these boss fights: Riku!Ansem, Ursula, Demyx (not his Data version, however, yes it is on there, but it doesn't fit into this analogy), and the Ruler Of The Sky. What do these all have in common? His first time playing these games (at least, he claims), he plays on the highest difficulty, and he beats all of them in one try.

** Though HeReallyCanAct. The most prominent role that showcases this is when he voiced [[TheChessmaster Kristoph]] [[BigBad Gavin]] in the [[VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney Apollo Justice]] LP. Though seemingly starting off just as strange as the other voices Nico does, [[spoiler:when Kristoph shows his true colors]], Nico noticeably portrays him more seriously with no more ad-libbing, exaggerations or theatrics. Even after seeing his [[VillainousBreakdown breakdown]] (which is quite a spectacle to see), Nico continues to portray him in a surprisingly serious manner.

** In [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth]], at the very last case and final confrontation with the BigBad (who's also quite TheDeterminator), Nico refused to give up or continue on to the next video. As a result, the video became Nico's first video to exceed ''2 hours''. [[note]]The video is 2 hours 7 minutes.[[/note]]
** Another was his persistence at finishing Corpse Party: Blood Drive. Initially hyped, Nico and a bunch of the Picky Penguins grew [[HypeBacklash tiresome of]] and [[SquIck disturbed]] at the game, which prompted Nico to get it over and done with in the final episode. This resulted in him posting the longest video he's ever posted on his channel. [[note]]Exceeding Investigations by 11 minutes, at a total of 2 hours, 18 minutes.[[/note]]

*** He even stated that the actual time of gameplay was longer due to the loading screens and exploring around the setting. He really wanted it done that badly.

* In his playthrough of [[VideoGame/EarthBound Earthbound]], Nico got the Sword of Kings, an item that has a 1/128 chance of being dropped only by a single type of enemy, after fighting only THREE of those enemies. And he wasn't even trying to get it. [[LampshadeHanging Even he was surprised from getting it on his third fight.]]
