What is up everybody how's it going welcome back hello hello hello hello hello how are
y'all doing today welcome back to the stream everybody I hope you're all having a fantastic
day today. We're back. We're playing big walk and we got a big stream in store. I think
this is going to be like a possible 10 hour stream. I'm hoping it's less. I'd love to
work less. But I think it's going to be like a 10 hour stream of the books because we have
a Marvel Tocon tournament that we're doing today. There's a Marvel Tocon tournament
that we're in today.
Anyway, Chad, what's up? Same day? Yeah, I got the same shirt today. Same shirt on today,
y'all don't judge me bro it wasn't dirty I did do a collab this morning with
Fumi bean if you guys saw it 50 big ones punk oh you know what actually since you
guys are the early frogs that means you guys like me more than other people right
you disproportionately like me which means I can now ask you guys a question
Guys, I need to ask you a question. Okay. So I release merchant shit and you guys sometimes buy it.
But anyway, we were thinking of a new merch design. I'm 50-50 on doing it.
And I wanted your input because it will determine whether or not we even make it.
I'm just going to show it to you and then you make the decision whether you would buy it.
buy it. Because if you wouldn't buy it, then why would I make it? Very easy. All right, let me give you the rundown. Let me give
you the rundown. So I made a merch drop a few, maybe almost years, couple years ago. I made a merch drop called scam. You
Remember this? It was a gray hoodie that had the word scam in yellow text.
It was based off of the spam sweater.
It was based off of this spam sweater from the spam museum.
So there was a design made with that in mind for the scam hoodie
by spoofing spam once again. I'll just show it to you.
Now, when I show this to you, I'm going to show it to you how I look at Merch Designs,
which means it's not going to be one design.
It's going to be like a template filled with like 10 designs.
And you have to not just say no overall, but say which number you liked.
If any, you can say none.
That's fine.
But if you like any of the numbers, then you just have to say which number you liked.
Anyway, let's jump into it.
So here's one.
As you can see, it is a can of spam that's empty.
It's a scam.
Okay.
That's one.
This is two same, same design, but it loses, it loses the, the, the neck, the neckline.
Okay.
This is three same, but on gray.
Okay.
A lot of nose, easy nose.
Okay.
Great.
So I, I almost think we can skip through it.
We can skip through design one.
Let me, all right.
Let me take it.
All right.
Okay.
Let me take you to design number two.
Gross, but better, okay?
Guys, it's an easy know that.
Boom.
That makes my job.
And you know what?
I was on, I was on team no.
But I want, I told Aiden that I would show you guys the designs to finalize the decision.
It seems like we're in a court.
It seems like we're in a court here.
I was.
Okay.
Another merch thing.
I don't know if I should do it though.
We used to do this thing and I haven't done it in years, but I kind of wanted to do it
again.
I think it's probably been five years since I last did it.
you guys have never seen this.
I wanted to do a merch contest.
Now, I don't know.
I don't know.
Cause obviously a people get weird with contests in general.
Right.
Obviously I'd make sure everyone's paid handsomely, but I liked doing them a lot.
I did a bunch in my day.
And then, you know, there's kind of a weird vibe with contests, but I think the issue
in and tell me if I am wrong artists, I think the issue with merch or art design contests
is when you do the design contest to pick a single design and basically forgo the process
of hiring an artist and use the contest as that process.
This is like this is different because this is like I have an art team. We have merch that comes out
This is not replacing that this is like a for funsies separate thing
For the community
Where we make some awesome ass shirts
And yes, are we making fucking billions of dollars on the side of course of
Course we're making billions off of it, but I will pay literally all the artists in exposure. I promise
You need an AI check I need a right to check if somebody uses AI could sign me the fuck up
Let me get the clawed GPT made shirt. Yes
I stand with Hank Green
Sorry, sorry, sorry. I
Need to calm down because we're about to jump into a collab
And I want to make sure that I'm in the right headspace for it
So today guys, we're playing Big Walk.
It is a collaborative game made by the people who made Untitled Goose Game.
It looks awesome.
I have to just make sure.
This is my mic.
That works.
Great.
Continue.
All right.
I have to hit join game?
I have to add a lobby.
Hey y'all.
The music's fire right now, no?
Is this music not insane?
Is it sponsored?
No.
I thought Chung wig was actually getting exercised today.
Why did you just call me Chung wig?
I did workout today.
I did a 10 minute high intensity Peloton course.
I'm trying to see if I can be the host.
because other people are struggling as hosts.
Okay, apparently nobody can connect to the servers.
Apparently the servers for this game are not working today.
Is Saikunou still cancelled?
He's been streaming a lot.
I don't think Saikunou was ever cancelled.
I think Saikunou had an act of infidelity that made people who support him no longer
support watching him because they didn't like that or like maybe his friends because they felt like
their trust is betrayed but like he can go like you know whatever the fuck he wants. Arnold Schwarzenegger
famously cheated on his his wife and was governor. Bro look at our president like
Like, you can be a pretty successful person without necessarily having the greatest morals.
But I think it's fine that he shrinks.
Wait, I found it.
Cory's the chosen one.
Yeah, I put one in Max too.
Ditto.
Oh, what the heck?
Wait.
Hey, what up, dude put me down
What up hey put me down I'll straight up call us child services
I'm in child. Yes
Is it quiet for you, yeah, I think it's just how it is
Although I can fix that
talking about that. I'm bumping it. Can you all talk for me? Oh, that sounds great. You
cranked it over 100%. Yeah, I'm beyond 100. Input sensitivity. Yeah, you got to crank
that up I think shouldn't wait don't you want it very low
no
Yeah, I think you guys said it's just not actual, like...
Can you wall jump?
Where's everyone else?
Oh, hey guys!
How are you guys picking people up with your hands?
Oh.
E and then left and right to use your hands. That makes sense. Oh
How many oh my gosh
You don't
I'm Nathan Stance. I don't know as many people so it's just gonna basically be like
like yeah, you, hey, over there.
I'm gonna go to the corner to talk to you guys for a moment.
Who is everyone?
I'll come clean.
I don't know everyone.
I'll say in the group is
You song stands, Squeaks,
Manly badass hero, myself, Kate,
Ge-Ge-Ge-Ge-Ge-Ge-Ge-Ge-Giga,
Corey, Northern Lion and
Lime I want to say lime
It's hard because I'm oh my gosh
Can I join your tower? Oh
Did it work I worked I don't even know how to go on top
I'm a bottom guy. Yeah
You know what people talk about it, I've been flattered to hear the compliments. I feel like it's standard though
Oh, you can kick it!
Up the sound?
I can't really do that.
I'm just gonna go back to the mouse.
Oh, oh, fuck!
I have to get there now!
Just carry even over and have an item to hold.
Whoa!
I'm going to kill Northern Lion!
I'm going to kill him!
And put your input sensitivity to low.
It will make you a little bit too loud.
Did you guys hear me right there?
I know you were.
Could you guys hear me right there?
I know, I thought it was high.
Oh, it's just the opposite direction.
Oh, how about now? Am I live?
Seems to work.
Oh, wait.
How is everyone picking everyone else up?
I'll pick you up, you song.
Oh.
You picked me up.
Huh? I'm Northern Lion.
Ryan? It's me, Ryan.
It's me, Ryan, Northern Lion.
Oh, hello, hello, Northern Lion.
It's me. I was on the pelts on this morning
Oh
How's your Chinese doing
Oh, what is the dots?
Oh, that's people are talking.
Oh!
Sprint, jump, crouch, sit.
If you sit on a slope, you slide.
It's cute.
Wait, I'd like to sit on a slope and slide.
There is a slope for sliding.
That's not bad.
That's not a bad time.
Can you sit in the chair?
Hey, what up?
Hello.
Why are you sad face?
How did that happen?
No, I was angry face because I had a ball kicked in me.
Oh, is it you did it or did it happen automatically?
No, I did it. You can play.
Oh, how do you type?
I can't really see my fit.
You look like the first iteration of Mario.
i need the ping
ping
well the companion is ok
who's hitting me from the back right now
corey hit me from the back
roofs
I heard the walks pretty long
When the host ends your game anything you're holding will be placed here
I don't even know how to start the walk.
Put your head in there.
You start the walk.
How do you do that?
How do you put your head in there?
I'm just kidding.
Oh, I can see.
Okay.
Stop the walk.
You scared me.
Okay, I did not.
Big walk.
Big walk this way.
Oh, the text is helpful.
Yeah.
The group is walking.
We're going to do a head count.
Here.
I know.
I know what you're doing.
I've got experience.
Stay at the back.
Increase the game volume.
And there's no way to make the voices higher than the game, right?
I'll leave no one behind.
oh my god yeah I didn't expect to land on my ass
I did gain 16 pounds since I went to China
Well, in China I was eating nothing but meat fun, but here I'm eating nothing but processed
foods.
What's this?
Oh, it's a camera.
What's this oh it's a camera
I'll shoot if anyone gets a little too rowdy left click oh whoa it's uh it's like an
I spy. You have an X in your ball. I can see it. Oh, two and a half. Sorry to say. Yeah,
x-ray I would hope not I would be this color I feel
I don't drop it
I look like I'm from rep
I'm from rubrax it did not make it like it was Christmas but something sinister you know
you can paint someone else
I think it would be fitting.
Yeah, I want a green head.
Thank you.
I don't want to be green. Yeah, I want green head
Yeah, can you paint my head I can't paint myself
itself. Yeah, green head. Can I also get green body? But with the purple ass. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. That's great. That's exactly what I wanted. I can make you, oh, they got
you then. Oh, purple hull does have purple pants. I'm gonna get real weird. I'm gonna
I'm gonna get real weird and ruin the vibes if I get upset.
It could be copper.
Oh, there's something there's a lot of button
That's like head shape
I don't know how
It's a bring it back
There is a keyhole for key-enjoyers.
Ooh, you guys are talking in the back as if you know what's gonna happen.
Oh.
I like your soft palette colors.
3, 2, 1!
Okay, sorry, I thought the couch didn't really motivate.
i really thought that would work
i still feel like it was a good idea
where did everyone just get up? everyone just... oh my god i got cold i got shivers in real life
Can't we just use this key or is this key not pulled?
Hold this button, okay.
Stance, I don't mean to break this news to you but this is big and that's smaller than
big.
Sure, but some balls have like rubber texture and can screw things.
AHHHHHHHHH!
AHHHHH!
Uh, okay. How about... Wait, wait, wait, wait, does the key stop here?
Yeah, but we can't pull the key out, I think, unless we get...
Yeah.
But there...
Everyone's gone, by the way.
Yeah, that's okay.
I think it's that purple cone.
What's purple cone?
There's like a big purple cone in the sky to the right that purple cone right
there no no look look would you figure out if you press the place lights up
and then I think some of us have to go to the place oh that red thing over there
maybe? Is anyone going there already? Is that the only place? Oh yeah, it opens a
box. There's a box that opens and the box is open now.
Oh, that would have been nice to know.
Is that your voice echoing?
Can you scream?
Ah!
Yeah!
Oh!
I didn't hear the distance.
Penis!
Oh, there.
Holy shit.
Oh!
Hello?
Oh, wait.
I think they got it.
I think Cory got it.
I think they got it.
Fireworks are way older than you'd think they are.
Ryan Farty!
Look at the Chinese Black Gunpowder.
You've been around a long time.
Curse the day the Chinese invented gunpowder.
I like how the Dutch went to Japan and went,
let's give these guys guns, they love it.
And it like, completely changed their history entirely.
That's why Portugal is better, they just give them control.
True, true.
They already get it?
Can you throw people?
Okay, yeah.
Turns out the answer is no.
Just so you know.
Not that I was trying.
I was trying
It's getting dark
That's the greatest Swedish export
Hey, what up y'all?
Wait, that's one of the things!
There's another one where?
Oh, you song, I'll come with you.
Ow, my butt!
five six five six
guys a little big walk sack if you jump you don't go any faster
yeah
starting the sack starting the sack
to the side to the side go go go go
get the button get the button
whoa
It's falling maybe?
It probably works hard in this animation.
Good catch, good catch, good catch, good catch.
It's dark like night.
What's that? Oh, it's just one of the lights.
I feel like these are helpful.
Oh, it's just one of the lights.
I feel like these are helpful.
Oh, so left click. Oh, I see, I see, I see.
Very observant. Thank you.
Do you think there's bears? I don't feel like this game is lethal.
What is this one?
Oh, that's the firework we were seeing earlier, okay.
It's like a flare, I guess.
Whoa!
You probably need that camera.
Yeah, I have a good view of this.
You probably need that camera
Mmm and then handshake
Yep
I did that it wasn't all it's cracked up to be
No, no is third grade so I don't I don't
But I don't really hang out with the third graders much anymore
I'll come with you
Which way
Okay, I
Go, go, go, go.
I can do that.
No, I'm not saying I don't hang out with third graders.
I don't hang out with those third graders.
And they're also 30 now.
Stads!
Yeah, we need one more if one wants to join.
We were just telling scary stories, I think, in all LLD.
Yeah, we were really busy.
I mean, look, we can still tell them all walking.
Ooh.
Anyone else got one?
What's up?
I had a dream that my therapist was spooning me, and then in the dream, I got really jealous.
And then she was like, you do this.
And then she was like, I do this with all my clients, and then I was like, you do this with all your clients.
So, it's not my little bit of a trick.
That's it!
That is scary.
You want to spoon your therapist?
No.
You have to bingle with your therapist?
He just had a dream.
Yeah, this is the one you need to lose.
It's like a positive thing, yeah.
I think I'll work with you.
I think we got, like, the whole splices up away.
Oh, I see the thing.
I had a drink today. I did a 1v1 in basketball and it ended in a tie and it's like it's
my dream.
Yellow.
Yeah, it's green, yellow or red. I think it's an ordered thing.
My flip my flip is up
I flipped it up
Oh same time I
Yeah, yeah, we're ready
Yeah, you don't, you don't even try to do the same guy.
I see.
Yeah, one was off, one was off.
Three, go away!
I think the issue is, yeah, you do need to do it from the middle.
One, two, three, hit him.
Whoa!
It's clamped in.
Holy shit, thank you to the 20 gifted!
Thank you, Locoel, I appreciate that.
You're hurting it!
W. What the hell, someone just took that.
Why are you running with it like you've stolen it?
I did steal it.
Oh, no. Nice. Here, here, here.
Thank you, 20 gifts at Loco. Well, I appreciate it, bro.
Wait, so we need more head, no?
There's one more somewhere.
So no head.
I think it's up this way. I feel good about it.
Oh, God. Oh, no.
This feels more like a like an impenetrable wall.
Yeah, I felt worse about it as I continued up.
maybe it's that purple thing up there the thing up to the top of the mountain
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Yeah, yeah
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We could've continued up that way
Dude, my cat was cropped up
Your cat is?
You know
You know poop makes the fart
I always thought that poop made fart smell bad, but I found out that fart comes from poop
Yeah, it's not like there's gas in your body that comes out and then it passes by the poop which makes it smelly
Fart literally comes from the poop
Where's the other thing?
We're not, we're not, we're not!
It's fine, what are you talking about?
It's right here.
Oh my god!
You son, why are you doing all this, man?
You're doing so much!
We're not gonna let you down!
You're doing so much, you son.
Thank you!
Wait, wait until it does over here!
Bad, bad, bad!
Poop makes the fart!
I don't know why you're testing me on this chat!
It's true his squeaks here. He's in the lobby or sorry in the group chat, but I think he's bailing
One more gourd oh it's still echoes hey they got it oh they did oh yeah they did
what do you think it feels like to jump off this thing dude have you tried the
echo
what do you have to do? just yell
why was that noise?
we have our fourth board
no fall damage i don't think you can die in this game
so now you can get the key
the key
And then, do you want to put it in that hole over there?
Might as well.
Oh, it's...
Oh, oh, it's cutting the key.
Oh...
Do you... I don't... Do you think you just put them in arbitrarily, or do you think you have to find the pattern and then match it?
No, I think this is right.
No, you look at the top of the arrow.
For the next one.
Yeah, and then there's one down here, I think.
Oh, he skipped order. He skipped order.
I don't know, I would have followed the arrows personally.
That's alright, you know, we're doing it out of order.
I saw the third Spider-Man before the first one.
Yeah.
Why do they hate this green valve, guys?
That's the hole!
Hey, what's up, y'all?
Don't piss me off, though, seriously.
I'll freak out.
Hey, what up?
Look at that!
I feel like we should have a better system than lock and keys at this point.
Yeah I think the key's big because the stairs seem normal.
Oh god.
I think I just genuinely jumped off.
Big ups.
I don't know.
Oh, a flashlight.
Where is the rest of our group?
They'll probably catch up.
You know the paint that's kind of like plastic or rubber is my favorite paint like the six
thick coat. Like the green paint in Playgrounds. This does look like Monterey Bay. I've never
gulfed no no have you gulfed
It's just speakers playing awesome music.
I mean, there's gotta be some method to the madness here, no?
I thought it would slide, it doesn't slide.
It's pretty shallow.
It's a music rest area.
I don't really know. I think this camera just shows you interactable objects.
At some point I lost fans forever. I don't know how to get them back.
And it's night vision.
I guess maybe kind of.
Stans got shanked.
Aw, dang it.
Whoa!
Oh, this controls the radio.
Oh, frick.
Can you play the music that it would play?
We only have the signal for one.
But maybe I can change it on this.
I don't think it does anything.
I'm just I'm I'm I'm interacting.
No, it does nothing.
Is it a walkie-talkie?
I don't think so. I think it's like activate.
Maybe it's based on altitude?
It's a walkie? But I don't really work as a walkie. Like a walkman.
Do you own a Walkman ever?
I did not have a Walkman ever.
You probably did it, you were near younger than me.
I didn't, I didn't. Well, we had one, but I didn't have one.
How do you turn these on? Here we go.
I don't like it at night, I'll say that much.
It did switch songs.
I'm just bringing it with me wherever I go.
I don't know what the hell it's for
If you think there are monsters in the game
That's true, but yeah, but I could be like the Hulk where they like neutered him and made him like in it unable to get mad
I'm scared. Yeah, I think ghosts are real for sure
You think ghosts are real?
I'm not even bullshitting you for 18 years from zero to 18. I checked my closet and under my bed every night
No, I went over I guess like whatever 5000 days it was
Oh my god. Hey guys. What? I have a radio. Who's doing the shit thing? Do you guys own
on my radio. Wait, this is where we started. Oh. Yeah, shortcut.
Oh, that makes- I was just typing it out loud.
That is so much worse.
Oh, my bad, sorry, I thought I ult-signed out.
What is this, a type racer, like, prompts?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a checkpoint.
I see.
Wait, what's that?
You always stay here.
You're the one I saw.
You can go here and get your phone.
Does everybody like me?
What?
What's that?
Wang Shang.
What's that?
Wang Shang.
Sorry, I don't read Pinion, I only read Hanza.
This is the song, the...
You love?
You ever love?
I have no idea what this says, and I'm Chinese.
I don't.
I'm Chinese.
God, that means I got it.
That's nice of you.
Oh my God, I don't want to show off.
I don't want to show off.
I'm studying Chinese at night, I think he's trying to say he is, he is Michael Jackson.
He is, he is.
Where did this come from by the way?
You lied bro, I'm gonna try.
He might have my butt.
Alright, I'll get you Chinese.
I don't want to be in the entertainment industry
Did you read right? What month we broke?
My mom is beautiful and my friend is big
My dad is beautiful and my friend is big
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
what does lasonga yellow mean? what does lasonga yellow mean? um 4-3 much
oh you mean sanga yellow? oh okay okay oh yeah lasonga yellow yeah i got it too now
no i also get it too
okay where are we going? probably up the big red staircase i'm guessing
Genuinely, I guess wait who has that key
Oh
Does no one have the key
Where are we? This is Mario! This is Mario!
Backwards, long jump.
The timing's really hard. No one talks about that.
You kinda had it there. Dude, I can see the muscle memory working.
Have you tried ever speedrunning, Sir? Mr. Mars?
Of course, I've got BLJ. I think I got like a 24 minute 16 star or something.
That way that's these you put like a like a few like some hours into this
That was the first thing that you desired to do with free time
I'm learning voice recognition without any user names right now, it's great.
Uh, carry me, it'll be romantic.
Are you trying to pee?
Sorry, what?
I thought you were trying to go pee-pee.
What?
I thought you wanted me to carry you while you go pee-pee.
Why would that- why would- why would we do that at all?
Cause then I could carry you and you could go pee-pee.
You know what? Yeah, no, totally, I kid. That's why I wanted to be up here.
This makes sense
I don't know but we were missing I think it's a new key that we need
Yeah, yeah, I think it's like if you progress farther because this is the checkpoint
It like is a high speed rail that brings you to the next place is my guess. Oh
Oh, that's good good game design thinking. Yeah, I yeah, but I run a bit about publishing company
so you know
Look foxy
Wait, what's that yellow thing over there
You can't stop saying it. Oh, that's cool. It's good
Hey, this is Lottweig over.
Check 1-2, anyone on the other line, over.
Sorry, are you using the walkie for farting over?
We can hear you, Ludwig. We can hear you at the top of the tower.
Oh!
What do you want me to- Oh! Hey, wait! I can see you guys out there. Over.
We have a laser pointer. I don't know if this is a quest item, or if we could just use it to point at things over long distances to maybe direct you somewhere. Over.
I think I'm supposed to do something that is distance related that you can see over.
I found another walkie over is your walkie yellow over
over
This isn't even a walking talk. Yeah, I'm in it like a CB radio over
Stands do you see this walkie?
Hello
Wait, can you guys hear me up on the tower? Yep, we're up on the tower right now
We have two walkies now over
Did you hear someone say capacity
I believe Stan's talking but didn't say over and over.
Over.
My apologies.
Over.
I think we have three channels here, we've got a blue channel, a green channel, and whatever
channel I'm talking on.
Over.
Yeah, I think you're the always on channel and I'm on the blue channel.
Over.
I found something pretty good over here guys, over.
Over.
oh my god fuck I believe I have found our next mission over
which direction did you go over
fuck if I know over
Do you guys see me from the top of the red tower over?
Do you see me? Over?
One moment please, over. I'm gonna look, over.
Oh my god!
I did not see you. Can you describe your physical location and your surroundings? Over.
In front of me is a blue pillar with a red hoop and behind me is a green section of man-made material over
I am jumping over
I keep talking after seeing over
Click a look, over.
It's getting dark and I'm all alone.
Over.
You can answer that one
No, I'm not saying I don't hang out third graders. I don't hang out with those third graders
Is that not it
I had a dream I was playing basketball today this is so coincidental
no it was against former president Jimmy Carter though
No, no, no, no, it was a tie game not your best scored the whole game is genuinely 0-0
very good defense though
W, do you want this?
It's the freaking um...
Back here it's the...
Do you know where the hole is for these things?
Okay, okay, do you want to bring it or do you want to walk here?
Oh god. I'm fucking scared.
I have to go on top of the fucking tower.
I don't really don't like this place at night.
Wabba dee wabba dee wabba wabba dee wabba.
You can have them put stuff on your back.
Oh, can you? Oh, I didn't know that.
That'd be helpful, because I can't see shit.
I'm climbing like I would in Breath of the Wild.
And I think I admitted that in.
Oh!
I can't see shit!
I'm sure that I came up this way.
You know, the game's real quick to be like, hey, no fall damage, but they don't tell you
that there's no up-ease either.
Whoa.
Oh my god.
Whoa.
That actually worked.
Oh no, it didn't- oh god, I'm falling now.
Oh, I kinda remember this area, I kinda remember this, this is where the tunnel was.
I can't see shit.
Help!
I'll do it for my team.
I'll do it for my squad.
I'm one-fourth the effort here.
You sound as talking about how you're a pillar of the Asian community at this point.
Wow, what the heck, me?
Hey, y'all!
Can we all open this for me?
Oh shit. Yeah, good job. Is that is that from me?
There we go good start so we used to have binoculars are then Corey threw them over the edge and killed himself
It was a mistake. No, holy shit. He's back
Cory. Oh
There is a maze
That is correct. Over. Okay. Um, there's one fruit at the train station and one fruit at this red building.
To follow the red line. To follow the red line.
Pass the weed. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, there's one more fruit.
There's at least one fruit in the maze that we haven't gone yet. Over.
How do you know there's fruit?
the train station. Hey. Let me look through this real quick. Do you see this ninja, American
ninja warrior wall? It's like this yellow American ninja warrior wall at the very end.
that is that where you're gonna go
there's a fruit no no we go to the
green one closer does it require to
I'll go with you where is it
needs to be behind you
down the mountain there you see the
green oh yeah yeah yeah
man real convenient you don't die
instantly yep speedrun track
it's there's like nine people in this
lobby i think there there's two
fuckers doing anything and it's me and
you bro there's way another day of
entrance oh I see all right you yeah
Hey, I got you, I got you.
Wait, how do I know?
Oh, I can't hear you.
You can't hear me, can you?
No, no, I can't. But you said you know the order?
We need the laser pointer. No, it changes every time.
Maybe you can point though, like if you just go left, I'll follow.
Yeah, I'll just follow your body position like far this left is this one and then I want you to go if I want you to go up
I'll like oh there is an upbeats. There's only one though. How do I even get to that one?
Oh
I can maybe I
Do think we might need another I don't know if I can do this
Wait, maybe, I think it might work, I'm not even lying, try it.
Let's give it one try, let's give it one try.
Okay, good start.
Yeah! Yeah! We do that!
That was it, right?
Oh, thank God I didn't do it again. I was gonna just spam the other one. I didn't realize
could go back to them nice nice
I was great great pointing
really how you just point I'm gonna go check out the yellow thing
It's so much more fun to go down than up.
He opened the door and reset the progress.
That's tough.
Hello?
Hello!
What's up?
How you doing?
Hello?
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, what's up?
How do we get there?
Okay.
How do we get over there?
You guys go around?
So, you have to have someone who's already down there?
Alright, I'll shoot one when you're down there.
Alright, I'm shooting and you probably need to throw it from there.
When you get it you probably need to go there and then throw it to me
I'm gonna shoot it
Get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready get ready
Go go go go go
Manly you have at least four people on route to the train station right now
over I
Think we got it over
Yeah, we got it, we're done, no one needs to come to the transition over.
That was first try, that was awesome!
You guys have any leads on where the final fruit might be? Over.
I feel so helpful. I've done three fruit.
What a productive member of society I am.
I think they did the maze, right?
Guys, we got the one at the train station.
We just need the fifth.
I don't know where it is.
Unlike NL, who's at the tower.
Well, someone needed to be at the tower.
I think that's okay.
Honestly think LUD found his niche game that he doesn't suck at.
I'm good at most games.
I think that blue thing looks like it's it, no?
Lotta wig you jelly, do you mean jealous or like...
Sometimes people say jelly when they mean the butt bounces nicely.
So either way I guess thanks.
You see Lily is voicing and overwatching? Wait really?
Oh my gosh, maybe I'll actually play the game now.
Hey!
Hello!
I come with another fruit.
Look at this.
You know, no one's gonna say it, but you're holding it down up here.
Dude, I'm...
I'm...
You need a manager.
Exactly I watched your
Jack of all trades
I I watched your creole
Are you fucking well?
Well, you have to be here does that mean I have to go get it
266,1899, minute and two.
How do I hear that?
Copy that, over.
I figure it's something out down there, you know it's mine.
Whoa! You're gonna blind me!
My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad.
I think this is the lo- You did the maze, right?
They did the maze. They're at this orange building.
Um, right there.
That one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think you're-
I think this blue thing over here is a- Or is that part of the maze?
Mmm, you know what? I have absolutely no idea because I've never left the tower.
you might be right though I'm honing in no that's surely it oh I see it you got
five of them they're smart enough to figure it out they're gonna figure it
out man the radio frequencies are no let me try over
Let me try to start punching the shit out of him.
That's a big negative.
Ten-four.
Time for that, make her try.
This is what you're doing.
Man, I had so much more respect for you on top of the tower until I got here.
I've been working for you guys here, okay?
Yeah, I believe that.
That makes sense.
Wait, wait.
You should hop off.
Take it for a spin.
Roger Roger, this is a minor on the tower over over
Yeah, you know what maybe you have more command
Muscle list 35 gifted. Oh wait my bad. My bad. My bad. Yeah. I throw it. We can dupe
it. Wait, but now I guess that's a good point. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
It's a great idea. Take one of them out.
Oh, it doesn't let you.
Oh, it can't come out.
Yeah.
I was thinking, what if we could just pass it back and forth?
Yeah, like quickly enough.
Chinese finger trap. You can't get it out once it's in.
Oh, I see him.
man from here it looks like they're just doing fucking nothing
up here in the tower got to work
yeah exactly right who's making sure they're
Just let him know.
No, they don't for sure.
But they see the gourd.
They see the gourd though, right?
Did you go to the orange thing?
It's there.
Back to the tower over.
Oh, fuck, wait.
Do you have Gordon hand over?
They're going to be so mad at you.
Do you have Gordon hand over?
Negative over.
Then don't come back to the tower over.
That's right.
That's just kidding.
What the fuck over?
You're not welcome back here.
You're not welcome back here over is that all right?
Is that all right?
But now we can't stop them because but they need to we need the fifth
gourd over.
It's unfortunate.
Your eyes are like actual shining beacons.
Oh, that's no, that's good.
Last gourd is over.
I believe if it's not where you were earlier, it's the blue section near the maze over I can point to it over
Have you seen the last board over
Wait, where is the last gourd? Over.
Is that the gourd?
We have the gourd. Over.
Over?
Fuck!
Would you say sorry I talked over?
Do you still have the radio? Over.
I have like the ham radio over
Is that the gourd? Oh, it's a backpack. I thought it was this blue thing over here
Pointing over
That's it
The hammer right here
Oh that one I don't know why
Does anyone want to look at my sign for one six six one eight nine nine
That is what was in the orange building and there was nothing else there.
The gourd wasn't there?
The gourd was there.
There was a gourd pit like loctite.
Yeah, but it was.
Okay, yeah.
So, it's not in a vice.
It's in like a little glass box.
It's in a box.
Do we have to push a button, I think?
Oh, that must be far.
Oh, there's gotta be something.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
The island to the right of it, the little peninsula to the right of it, there's a button
in the top.
Here?
No!
Left.
There?
Wow, okay, I'll hold it down up here
I'll hold it down for you
Hello, who can hear me over?
Uh, I can hear you, this is Stanz, I'm at the Orange thing, I think.
Oh, okay, Stanz.
To the-to the...
Who is that?
What was that?
Shoot the laser, there's the laser there.
Follow the laser, there's a button you have to press, it'll open the gourd.
We're going over...
Over.
Oh, I'm putting it in the wrong spot.
They don't tell you how hard it is to hold a laser.
Yep.
They're not delaying.
Hello, do you copy over?
Sorry, I talked over you.
Can we get like five people down to the orange thing?
Over.
Stands, follow the laser.
Sorry, I talked over you. Can we get like five people down to the orange thing? Over.
Stance, follow the laser.
Copy that, follow the laser. Over.
No, we're following the laser, over.
You get a group of streamers together, man.
Yeah, everyone's gotta be at the laser, I guess.
You stay at the glass case so that when you press the button, you can grab the gore over she I mean fair enough
But she never said that
You know, I'm at three fruits so I at this point I can just point the laser in chill
at some point Ryan left and said I got to prove myself and I have not heard from him
sense.
His name's Ryan, don't call him an egg.
Yeah, there's a button that we all have to press at the same time over
We are trying to find the other spot we need a radio at each spot, so I'll stay at this one over
Oh
I'm gonna go pee dude. I gotta go pee and I want a fucking Red Bull. That sounds awesome. I'm doing it. I'm doing it. I'm doing it
I have no visual confirmation over
We are on our way to the second button over.
There's two villas right next to each other.
I think there's like another one over there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's where they're going, maybe?
Yeah, I think I can see some people in the end of that one,
and then directly to its right, there's like another one.
Yeah, I think we're doing that too.
I can't really see them doing it.
Like they're all kind of like, oh fuck, I almost threw them.
They are all in the trees and weird.
She said they're going to the second button location over there.
Which?
I found out because...
Where's the second button location over?
Could you repeat that? I was talking to you about it having a great time over.
Well, where's the second button location over there?
I think they're not telling you just to frustrate you.
If you guys didn't hear, if you look left from me and you song where you lasered, it's on the hill over there. Over.
Oh, I knew that. Yeah, we figured. Thank you. Over.
I just don't see them moving.
No, like I see two people just kind of like chilling and then that's about it.
Whoa!
two people up there, there's a re-song in the stand
why am I all blurry?
is this the red bull man?
maybe I'm even here
open your eyes, come back to us
oh I was sleeping
oh fuck
yeah, if you sleep your vision just gets blurry as opposed to being like dark
that makes no sense
we're trying to find a way to hike up over
I don't I don't even see them.
They should be there by now.
Do you think they meant a different hill? Do you think they mean the one on the left where the monorail is going?
Because I don't even know if we can get up there. I would think that it would be the one on the right.
Yeah. Just checking in.
Over.
Where are you at Ludwig? Over?
The tower chilling over.
Wait, do we have two walkies at tower? Over?
No, no walkies at tower. Over.
I'm just taking turns now.
No walkies at tower. Over.
Can I get the binocs?
So that's one of the buttons.
YAY KEEE!
Thank you to Ten Gifted!
Wait, so it's over here is what you're saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, is that it?
I can't tell.
She said she said the left and now I'm concerned, but she also might have been facing a different
direction.
And now it starts over a long time.
Yeah, it's also confusing that like, what's the numbers mean?
The numbers, what do you mean?
Like 1499, that's like on the sign or whatever.
I couldn't possibly tell you.
I see you in your window...
...stands.
That's correct, over.
That's Corey over, what does he need to do?
So today we have Pokemon Pitch Black. We're going to be opening some packs. Let's get
right into it. We're chasing the dark rye.
Ugh.
Okay, so before he's joining with the person in the split, would you like a binoculars?
No, no, I'm alright.
It is a little bit stressful watching them actually.
Yeah, I think not seeing is believing.
Wait, there's another flashlight deep in the mountain. Where the fuck is this thing?
I'm burning up that red one.
What the hell?
They're grabbing the energy.
Look at Ryan. What's Ryan doing?
Whoa!
where that card is nice
hey tower can you send someone to orange so ryan doesn't kill himself alone over
on it over do you want to go or do you want me to go
What the fuck is orange?
Orange is where the the ball actually is.
It's uh, I can point to it if you want to go.
You can like golf?
Yeah, I can.
Oh, wrong one.
I'm talking.
Over.
It's over there.
Oh, okay.
I'll get to the closer one.
See ya.
I hope you get a good ball.
Hey, good luck.
They found me in the woods.
Um, we're lost in the mountains so it's a giant heavy golf ball or you can not move.
Like it's too heavy over here.
Over.
We're lost in the mountains, so it's a giant heavy golf ball or you cannot move like it's too heavy over here over
Is there a chance that this is not what we need to do next over
100% but there might be something cool if we do this over
I'll keep pointing
I think there's a world where we just have to climb the orange thing as a big group over.
I went up to that one mountain and there was a number of puzzle up there that marked people
to like show symbols using monoculars for another fruit.
How many more fruit do we need over?
We only need the orange building that
rhymes at fruit, which might just be a climbing over.
Dude, we are struggling as a unit.
I won't lie.
I feel like I did my job.
I can tower chill.
I got three fruit.
I soloed one with the basketball.
I did one with Corey and I did one with, um, Manly Badass Guy.
Well, I can't leave the tower now, we need somebody here.
We sent one more over.
I think we need a couple, I might send you some over.
Heard, over.
I'm not anyone's dog, but I'll do it, over.
If you can recruit Cory, I believe he's on the other peninsula or wandering over.
Primarina.
Uh, I'm gonna guess steel.
We just won golf over, we got a fruit.
Wait, say that again, over?
We literally just played a game of golf over and we just won a fruit over.
Wait, doesn't that mean we have all the fruit now?
I think we do, yes, over.
I need to signal people back.
all members return to tower all members return to tower over and out
No.
Negative over. We've encountered lots of wrappers over.
Fuck.
Doo-doo-doo.
and
Now is at the orange building the locked gourd, but why
Negative over
I don't understand, we have a fifth fruit, I heard.
Oh, there they are.
again. OOOOOOOH! Not a full art. But an EX. Mega Exadrill EX. That seems good for a
turn of it all personnel back to base
over hey so there's a six for you can
get all right the keyholes are down here
I think
Yeah, there's just a sixth fruit that we don't need
Yeah, we went up to that like giant yellow thing
a little to the left and found that you could not get higher unless the gondola was moving.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Woo!
Well, I assume you'll be able to take the chair lift at some point.
Oh, no.
Dude, that was a slow section.
Did it did it did it did it did it do
Oh, I see my other radio station
All right, last pack, we're going to guess water, is that steel or some water, right?
to you.
What up, gang?
If anyone wants, I got a radio.
Ahhhh, guh-la-guh-la.
If I had a sniper attached to this binocular...
oh it like chisels and teeth
that's how the key is made
yeah we
the baby is the locked em up
holy shit it's a recreation of earth
Wait, do you think controlling the ball in this controls it in real life?
What is this ball?
This is a big ass game!
Okay.
And there, there are...
I feel like I'm just crawling on top of it with so much fun.
Oh, okay.
I think all this work is...
I'm walking almost in the end.
I'm getting the vibe.
The ball has to come down and crash into this ravine.
I thought you were gonna use the key to the valley to help my buddy.
Oh.
Wait, that's good.
Wait, can we...
No, I thought we could move it
it and it would affect real life.
It's open that was loud
That's like a map you get at the zoo I love maps at zoos
What is this
Damn, there's so many fruit lefts.
I got the feeling the game is a cycle of collecting fruit.
4-1-18 is kind of south
Me pointing my laser beam at 747s flying
You're the blue line.
You're probably bad.
Yeahh.
Powerful.
I'm also a little blind.
Okay.
Do you want to try the coordinates?
Yeahh.
Whoa.
I'm not on air.
You're blind.
I'm just too much.
You're blind.
Hello.
Oh, it's pretty.
Oh God.
I'm behind you, over.
I'll light the way.
Yeah, yeah it is, we have three laser beams probably overkill, guys if you want to save
about three frames every step you can jump. Just maximize your efficiency.
I heard your backwards speed is a lot of laser points. I don't know if anyone's
testing this up.
Okay, we gotta not fall and drop all of our stuff.
Oh my god, that would be so sad. I'll try it out.
Oh god I dropped it. Oh fuck that idea! That idea!
Oh fuck.
What is this?
I'm blue, but I do, but I die.
Hi, Mosh.
Yeah, yeah, I've just been waiting.
What?
Bangers
Jack your radio and I switch the stations
I'm more of a channel one guy.
Where we headed?
Here.
Why'd you guys walk ahead of the map person?
If there's a place you want to go, I'm the one you need to know.
I think I see the map person back here do y'all have the map nope that's the same group
Just slightly farther ahead.
Howl, howl, howl, howl, howl, howl.
Oh, there's everyone.
Whoa, good slide.
I'm just gonna run away from that ship like it was a grapefruit.
Hey dude!
Oh, hello.
Oh, it's good.
Hey!
We're here!
Let's group up a little bit, group up.
Oh, it's good.
Hey! We're here!
Let's roof up a little bit, roof up.
We'll be comfortable. I feel like you need to use the truck.
Whoa!
Woo! We got shooters. We got shooters.
I see your clothes. Hey Ryan, are you out there? Over.
Okay, we need to come this way.
I
When I was I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it
Yeah, we did this one we did this one
where we going are you carrying anything are you carrying anything yeah my
legs here yep all right nice big gig
you voice you acting one Chinese game
Uh, call me Mbisha, please.
Really?
No, the devs didn't work that hard in the game.
They worked hard on it, but there's no- oh my god, I can fall asleep up here.
I really wish you could throw your friends.
I'm glad you could.
Wait, why do you wish that?
I thought so, you know, thinking about stuff, you know.
You know, I'm a Chinese movie star, I could get you canceled on Billy Billy right now.
Oh, boy.
My grandpa would be so disappointed.
Check Billy Billy you're done for.
You'll never work in that town again.
The town is the entire nation of China.
Oh my god.
What the fuck?
Oh, I'm too tall.
There we go.
Hey, good ride.
Thank you for the ride
For sure
Boss
Bosses these
How do I put it back
oh it's like a oh I see okay this is wrong oh I see it's the five places and
they need to do the five poses all right who's in charge of which find the
information come back but I think if you
press it it resets so we can't press it
I'll go for four I'll go for four I'll go
for four
I'm back to being a helpful productive
member of the team I took some time off
and let me tell you it was nice but
There's nothing quite like being helpful
Bumping this again in case you're free. Are you really typing the message I sent I show speed to me?
What's wrong with bumping this again
It's literally cordial. I'm a cordial guy. Should I apologize for that?
All right, this one is boom it is a backwards L shape backwards L shape for four what it
Where's five?
I thought I saw five. Is it down here?
Backwards L shape for four. Is that five, really?
Oh, do the pose to show the teammates.
Oh, that's a good idea.
Wait, how do you do pose?
like I don't know how to put my hands out
hey I don't know how to do them so it's like I don't know how to put my arm
out wait how does it right click I don't know how to get my left arm out
Oh, the left arm, perpendicular, yeah, I also have no idea how to do the left arm.
Oh, fuck.
Maybe if you do it this way?
Wait, is my arm out?
Your arm's out.
How'd you do that?
Okay.
You left click.
Oh, yeah.
Like this.
And then...
And then, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're going to see you.
Okay, you want to hold that?
I'll go to the other one.
Oh, someone's already there.
Alright, great!
She left click.
Oh yeah!
It does work like that.
Y'all see the new Spider-Man movie?
I'm watching it on Friday.
Yesterday I watched far far away from home and on Tuesday I watched home coming and tonight. I'm watching
Whatever the hell they named the third one home again or something I forgot it's called
No way home yeah, yeah, yeah
Which one do you need?
Hey!
Why are you going back up?
Hello?
No echoes.
Uh, I'll say, I did not...
Uh, I'll say, I did not, I do not, I firmly do not believe that the Tom Holland Spider-Man
series is as good.
It just requires too much additional reading.
Like, if all you watch is the Spider-Man movies, Spider-Man 1 to Spider-Man 2 is a crazy jump.
they're like, yeah, by the way, Iron Man's dead from a student news broadcast.
No, I prefer Sam Raimi, but I've been watching the new ones because I'm trying to catch up.
And it was six years ago, you'll be fine.
Did we get it?
Big ups.
Wait, so what was the coordinates for?
If we just itself
Okay, if we want to go to the coordinates we got to keep going south. Yeah. Yeah, why not
Oh, I fell asleep.
I think I know a faster way over there.
I don't know what, some of them are cruising.
Yup.
Now we're cruising.
How much does this game cost?
$69.99 worth ever a penny.
They're calling it the GTA 6 of 2026.
I can't see shit. I'm not even gonna lie. Can't see shit.
Do you like the second movie with Mysterio? Ah, that Mysterio was all right.
I think the motivation of Vulture was better than Mysterio.
Seemed a little unbelievable.
I also get that Peter Parker is like a pussy high schooler, but man is it fucking frustrating to watch.
It is frustrating to watch, and that's a point, you know?
But my god, did they do a good job.
What's that red light?
I just saw a red light seconds ago. Where to go?
Oh, look at this. Oh, it's the Chandala. It's the train.
I can't turn it on though.
I'm probably fucking stressing the rest of my team out.
This is Conductor Cooter. Anyone read me? Over.
Conductor Cooter going out to the team. Does anyone read me? Over.
We need another key to oh my god, look at that ball
This is conductor Fuling of the Fuling Empire. Over.
Wait, this looks fun.
Why can't I turn it?
No, no, the button work.
You need power.
How do I get power?
I'll just do this whole area-lex power or something?
Would you make a darn back thiiiim?
Fill the good old baaaays!
Or is it more baskets ball?
It's not like baskets ball, is it?
That's not something terrible, I agree.
Wake up! We need to make money!
Yeah, anything is fine.
That's what you think.
It's not like Quidditch, no?
Press the buttons, none of the buttons work.
I don't know how to get, I don't know where, I don't know where you would apply power.
Like, I hear what you're saying that it has no power, but where would you get power?
I wonder where my team went.
I hope they're all right. They're probably worried sick about me.
Where are the friends? They're probably freaking worried sick about me. I left.
They're dead ass all pile like where the fuck's Ludwig we should go find him
We genuinely can't do this without him someone get the mastermind Ludwig
When the hell did we do this? Oh
Hey guys
You need me to hold something
I'm right here
Guys, what do you mean I missed it
Can you hear me
That's
What hey guys
Hey, what's up
I got the fruit y'all, don't worry.
wait I dropped the fruit wait what the fuck that is drop it am I hello
This work
Why should it
Can you hear me?
You saw

stands
No, I'm not
Can I not re-draw him?
Couldn't connect your session time down. What's dude? What happened to me?
My shit don't work
I can't join anymore.
I wasn't the host.
I wasn't the host, I didn't kick everyone!
Dude, you get too many freaking Pokemon cards in a pet-
Oh, the box!
So many cards!
How do I get back? Can I even get back?
They're playing with my dead corpse.
That's my body.
That's my body they're playing with.
It's literally me!
Yes! Get him!
Wait, we can actually throw him from the train while it's moving though.
We can make the train move and then toss his shit out the fucking side.
Look at that!
Well, let's choo choo choo choo and stay out!
Why is he having so much fun warping kicking me off of a train?
Oh my god.
Oh, there's like a perfect look out.
There's not a lot of those about there.
What? Why didn't NL just say little Ludwig Holt?
Why did he just say little Ludwig Holt?
I can't even rejoin.
they're all ending now fuck so I became a ghost they all started ignoring me I
tried to reconnect I failed to reconnect I died and then they all started dancing
on my corpse after I found three fruits
The best part about this game, and I mean this with no disrespect, is probably the intro
song.
All right, it looks like the lobby's dead.
Which is chill.
She died.
Fine.
One more.
Hold up.
One more chat.
One more.
You ruined the lobby.
I mean, maybe by that logic, I saved the lobby because when I was in it, everyone was hanging
out and when I left, everyone left.
This looks dead ass like a Minecraft character, no?
Wait!
Okay, guys, there's something I really wanted to watch, and I'm going to watch it now.
You guys know I've graded a lot of cards in my day, and today I specifically want to
talk about a PSA scam video dropped by Patrick C.C., let's take a look together.
Before I jump in, I actually need to make a request.
Now, I have an entire board of, how do I phrase this?
I have a PSA card, but I need your guys' help with this card before we talk about how PSAs
I won my fantasy football league this year for the first time in 10 years and to celebrate
I got a signed PSA card from every single person on my fantasy football team and
One of the players on my team was the Jacksonville Jaguars defense, which is a very good defense in the NFL
Now to pick which player I would get a card of on the Jacksonville Jaguars defense
I decided to look up which player got into the Pro Bowl or got like an honor
You know because every year you get if you're one of the better players invited to the Pro Bowl and if you're really good
You get like an all you know NFL honor or something
So I looked I was like okay who actually got on defense
listed as a pro bowler and
It turns out there was genuinely one person
Who made the Pro Bowl in 2025 one?
one. His name is Ross Mattis stick Matt Mattis sick Mattis Mattis Mattis kick Mattis chick
maybe. This is it. Josh Josh Heinz Allen made it in 2024 in 2025 Ross Mattis chick is the
only person who made it to the Pro Bowl. So I thought, okay, great, I'll get, I'll get his card.
Now for context, he's the long snapper. And if you don't know what that is, that's the guy in
the NFL who throws the ball really far back for the guy who kicks the field goal. Now here's the
issue. Long snappers aren't the most popular player on the team. So he didn't actually have
a card available. There's not like a card for this guy. But if you play UNO NFL
Elite Edition, then Ross actually has his own card. He's one of the skips. He's one
of the skips in UNO. So I bought UNO and I got, I'm probably the first person I
do this. I got every single Ross Mattiscik card graded. Here's my hollow. But here's the issue.
I don't just want it graded, I want it signed. So if anyone out there knows Ross Mattiscik,
NFL Pro Bowler, long snapper for the Jacksonville Jaguars, I really, really need him to sign this
Because I want every single person who's on my fantasy football team to sign
Their the card for them and nobody else on the Jags defense was in the Pro Bowl
so
Help me out
Help me out defense or special teams. I should say so anyway. I need help if you guys know Ross
If anyone knows please hit me up or Ross if you see this could you please sign my card?
Please? Anyway, let's get to the video now. Because speaking of PSA, they're scammers,
according to this video. PSA has the power to turn a singular Pokemon card into a multi-million
dollar asset. When Logan Paul's ultra rare Pikachu Illustrator was given a PSA 10 grade,
it became worth over $16 million. A single grade point lower and the card's value drops to 1.4
million. But when one company has the ability to create or erase millions of dollars with a
single number, there's bound to be corruption. And a recent pattern of major screw-ups has many
people suspicious of PSA. They've authenticated cards that were altered to look perfect. Their
grading system has been exposed as extremely inconsistent. Yeah, we talked about this. I think
PSA is wildly inconsistent. And they're the gold standard, which I think is honestly a shame,
but I think they're very inconsistent. And they've even admitted to straight up destroying
high value cards during their process. And those are just the mistakes that we can 100%
prove. There are countless grading decisions that happen every single day that are losing
people hundreds, thousands, and in extreme cases, millions of dollars, which is why when you dig
deeper into PSA, extreme cases, millions of dollars. This is a Gary V card. Am I reading this correctly?
This is a Gary V card listed for a million dollars
next to the Baskin Robbins one piece card. What the fuck? These prices are just,
I think you just went to eBay and sort of buy higher some shit because that is not, no one's
by that. Which is why when you dig deeper into PSA, the more insane it becomes that a multi-billion
dollar industry revolves around a tiny number on a piece of plastic. Yeah, yeah, it is insane.
You know what I'll say, bro? I, card grading is fucking stupid. I mean, it's just so dumb.
Card collecting is fucking stupid. Like, not collecting, like, in general, but, you know,
tops, for example, released a new set of like one of their, their like staples. It's the chrome
collection or whatever for the MLB. And in it, they have like these packs. And, and like every
card is like bullshit doesn't fucking matter, except one of the packs had a Shohei Otani double
Goldman signed card, which is literally just like Shohei Otani's patch from his MVP season in 2024
and 2025 in a card and it was signed by him. That card was the reason everyone was buying him
because it was worth $11 million. And so people just buy the packs because it's just lottery.
It's just kind of like fun lottery. You buy the pack, you open it up, and maybe you get
$10 million. Obviously, that was a more extenuating circumstance. Most of the time, it's like maybe
you win $1,000. But it's all done. It's so dumb. The idea of collecting and then trying to hit it,
it's like, unless you just like the thing and you want to play the thing or just
own the thing, I don't know. It's crazy. It's crazy.
It's definitely less serious than the lottery itself. It's less serious.
Dude, I think it's worse operated. I think the lottery is more fair.
Before PSA became synonymous with corporate greed, they were actually providing an extremely
consumer-friendly service. PSA, which stands for Professional Sports Authenticator,
offered a universal standard to determine how much a card was worth.
Think back to elementary school at the lunch table. Your friend has a bag of chips,
and you're willing to give up your ding-dong in exchange for it. The chips aren't objectively
more valuable than the ding-dong, but if both of you are satisfied with the trade, then it really
doesn't matter. I really feel like the whole card market's going to crash, because like,
I just don't believe that there are that many collectors who actually care about having a PSA
10 or like a perfect pristine condition card. I think what people actually are doing is just
purchasing and selling as a speculative asset. But nobody cares to hodl. No one just wants
the thing for the most part. But if you really like EV or something, maybe get the EV cards,
but I don't know if you really fucking care about the PSA 10 versus the PSA 9 versus PSA 8.
And so I really feel like everyone who's buying is just buying it because they think it's going
to increase in price so they can flip it later. That guy's balding so crazy in the back. Jesus.
Sports cards and trading cards used to be the same way. Maybe I wanted your Charizard card and you wanted my Pikachu card
We just swapped them and be done with it
But eventually how rare the cards were became a factor to consider in the trade
All of those factors is what PSA considered to determine how much a card was worth which resulted in people paying big money for cards in all different
niches PSA essentially this is the Jordan Brian
Ryan logo, yeah, double signed by Kobe and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's like one of the other really valuable cards.
I think Sho Hayes is like third most valuable all time.
Standard guide of what matters when buying or selling cards.
Kobe Bryant.
In a close inspection, a trained PSA grader validates a card's authenticity, ensuring that
it is officially licensed merchandise and not a knockoff.
They assess any potential damage.
Wait, thank you.
The 500 bits.
You ever get your cards from those online sites where you spin for a random card?
I did it once to show that it was a scam and I ended up making like $5,000 but I stopped
using it because it felt really shady.
Image such as rips, tears, scuffs, folds and finally they give a grade to the card's overall
condition on a 1 to 10 scale.
I think it was streamer luck, Hikey.
In the end, they carefully encapsulate the card in a protective case to preserve its condition,
with a label displaying its name and official PSA grade. Before PSA was rotting the industry from
its core, it was actually meant to preserve the integrity of it. But as their power and influence
grew, they started moving away from being a humble service for hobbyists and developing into a
corporation fully fixated on profits. PSA expanded their company beyond just grading cards. They
integrated with eBay to create the PSA Vault, which helps store, list, sell, and ship trading cards
for their customers. So if you wanted to sell your recently graded card, you could have them take
care of the entire selling process from start to finish with little effort. PSA even offered a buy
back service where they would purchase the card directly after grading. And some interpret this
as kind of a conflict of interest. You're handing a company your card, they're deciding how much it's
It's worth and then they're offering to buy it from you themselves if they plan on reselling the card for a profit
They have every incentive to convince you it's worth a little less than it actually is
It's like when Rick from Pawn Stars calls in one of his buddies to tell you what your rare artifact is worth and ah
Almost every time it's worth way less than what you thought it was. I actually don't even know if that happens in Pawn Stars
Maybe that does a bit. I feel like what happens in Pawn Stars is the expert comes and he goes
Wow, you actually got a great Adam here. It's in awesome condition.
Uh, I would think the value is 15,000 and then Rick goes, well, I'll give you five for it.
And then the guy goes, I was really looking for like 10, like closer to what the expert said.
And then Rick goes, can't do that. And then he goes, all right, well, I guess
I feel like that's the reality of pond stars. But I, uh, I, I feel like the main issues with PSA
is that A, they don't grade objectively. I feel like they sometimes are stingier if there's too
big of a population or they're more generous if there's a small population and then B, they also
are yeah maybe incentivized to grade it lower if they're gonna buy it back
and then see like if you just send them the same card fucking 10 times they'll just give you
a different grade every time. From there PSA's parent company which is confusingly-
What's the website that spins for a card? You're gonna lose money. I'm just gonna let you know right now, buddy
Don't be dumb here. Don't be dumb. It's just a lottery. You're just gonna lose money
You're just gonna lose money
Called collectors also acquired rival grading services Beckett and SGC you went positive. Yeah, but I'm also down lifetime in gambling
I
Bring them closer to becoming a monopoly today PSA and its sister companies take up 80% of the total market with PSA accounting for a whopping
72% Wow and that dominance comes with an
Responsibility the trading card market is now a multi-billion dollar industry and basically every collector on the planet relies on PSA's labels to
Determine that each card they received was authentic and in perfect condition and when PSA makes mistakes
They aren't just minor disputes. They have the potential to be catastrophic errors that can bankrupt a collector
But before we get into that we all live busy lives
There are so many things to do and it never feels like there is enough time in the day
You should probably go get that yearly checkup to make sure you're in good health
But you don't have time to sit on this doctor
Advertisers doc doc makes the process a whole lot easier
Zock doc lets you search and compare local in-network doctors. I can get you a tour of the tag facility
I believe I know someone from tag
With more than one hundred fifty
I don't care over two really specialties across all fifty states like I get cards graded, but I don't I don't I
Don't think I have ever resold a card ever
I've given cards away, and I've got many many many many many probably I've got like 500 cards graded
But I've never ever once sold it
I just keep it. I have a collection, but I think I'm gonna start selling some for charity
I think for, um, I had this idea, you know, actually who hit me up about is Mr. Keem, but I had this idea for fast 53 because I think in total, my Pokemon collection is probably worth like $40,000 and I'm willing to sell like a lot of it, not all of it, but a lot of it.
And, and I think I could sell them into the, I could sign all the cards and I could have
Mr. Keem, uh, like run during fast, imagine during fast fifty three, he's live and he's
doing an auction of the cards on history or something that could be kind of cool.
And then all the money from that goes to the charity, obviously, but I think that could
be cool.
He said he'd be down.
My legendary collection is not for sale.
I'm keeping that one.
You can view tons of reviews from real patients and detailed doctor profiles to help you choose the don't sign them
I mean, I would sign like the the case you just wash it off. It doesn't matter
I'm gonna sign them
Devalid you can just wash it. I don't matter don't I don't
I don't think it matters.

I'm not like in the business of trying to get a consumer,
like the goal is not for someone to buy it

Why not let the buyer decide?
I'm just telling you this is what it is.
And then the buyer can decide if they want it or not.
Ah, but it is what it is. You know what I mean? You're buying a signed card. That you
just don't buy it then.
Here to-do list.
In 2017, a 1952 Stan Musial baseball card sold for $2,800. It had slight imperfections,
including a black dot on the border, as well as a few small scuffs on his jersey. All things
considered, the card was still in great condition, and received a PSA Grade 9. Seven months later,
Another copy of the card was sold, this time a PSA Grade 10, for a price of $28,100.
The problem is, these were the same exact card.
Natural markings on the back of both were identical, meaning that someone had covered
up its imperfections and resubmitted it to PSA, got a higher grade, and made tens of
thousands of dollars.
PSA is supposed to inspect every card closely before giving it a grade.
It checks for scratches, scuffs, and imperfections, but it also ensures that the card is both
authentic and unaltered. Like when you and I look at a PSA 8, 9, or 10, we just kind of say,
yeah, I mean, it looks perfect. But PSA's job is to notice the tiny things that we never would.
Maybe someone- Yeah, I feel like, I feel like that, that doesn't happen as often, but like the,
the, I do see some people like dress up their cards to try to get a higher grade. I wonder
how well it works because there are probably things you can do like painting is probably too far
but like I don't know maybe there are like little things you could do to try to get a better grade
I'm sure there's some tech in the industry and repainted a I also think if you just know
the person who grades it you're going to get a better grade you know what I mean because like
sometimes they do like IRL grading at shows I feel like you know what I mean like if your
homies just a greater like it's all fake because it's all like so subjective it's all just like a
human tiny white chip on the edge or they trimmed a fraction of a millimeter off the border or they
managed to fix a crease that used to be there and even still you might wonder what the big deal is
I mean if a card can be restored to pristine condition then why should it matter if it was
original or not well it's because the history of a card is a major factor in its value to see a card
preserved for almost 70 years without a single flaw, it doesn't just make it worth more money,
it's also just objectively cool. And this is not just true for cards, it's really true for
about anything that is rare. The flowing hair silver dollar sold for 10 million dollars in 2013.
That's because this coin was the first dollar coin issued by the United States federal government
in 1794. Somehow, someway, this little coin was preserved for 220 years. If nobody cared about
preserving anything that was rare than we'd all just buy one-to-one bootlegs.
Authenticity matters and PSA was meant to ensure all aspects of a card were authentic,
but they messed up too many times to count. A Billy Maloney card from the early 1900s was
purchased for $81 before being altered, regraded, and sold for a $900 profit. A 1952 Mickey Mannell
card was altered and resold for $14,800. Ironically, dude, it's crazy you can go from a one to
a one and a half and get $5,000. Yeah, we know this chat. I mean, we have a literal spreadsheet
of cards coming back one or sometimes two grades higher and not just compared to CGC,
just like from PSA itself. I'm getting a call from Agent. Agent, I'm live. What's up?
Hey, I have a friend here who had a question for you and he asked me to call you.
Oh, who's a friend? Hey, what's up, is that Pudgy?
How you doing Pudgy? I'm doing great.
Hello chat. Hello, hello chat. Beautiful people. I love you guys too. Um,
what was your run to streaming games? Pudgy, did you want to go?
I didn't know you wanted to go. I didn't know you wanted to go. I feel like it wasn't made
obvious to me that you would be interested. He said hi and he said what's up and we talked
a bit, but not in a way that was like, Hey, you know, I would love if you actually you
asked me to shout out your channel. That's all right. And which I did. I did. I did.
And shout out Pudgy, of course. So you maybe should ask a different question.
Right. But did everybody that was at the streaming games actually show interest that they wanted
to be there? Yeah, they were loud about it. Maybe even
annoying. They might have even been annoying about it.
ever seen the last person we know age you got big
You students the streamer you students. Yes
Yes, I mean we just wanted to know just that a curiosity and stuff. So I'll put you put you put you
I'm running a volleyball tournament end of this year. Would you want to be in it?
Yeah, I would love to be in it. I'm afraid of it. Are you?
Yeah, if you
I mean, could you get people and I'm not saying he doesn't understand including him get people to actually play volleyball
so
You know, yeah, I'll just see rallies agent agent. You'll be honest you put you I'll put you on a team of agent because so it'll be you
agent and then
Pudgy's or anyone else that you want to be with
I
do. Oh my God, if we can get do W awesome. Do very athletic. Do. Okay. You, whatever you
is, I mean, I would love to play with you. Me, Duke, Agent Pudgy. I mean, it sounds like a dream
team right there. Yeah. Yeah, just something to think about. No, obviously, that's not a formal
invitation right to my dad. This is a I, I don't know about Duke Dennis, but lock in Pudgy,
the agent same team.
Block it in.
It's his birthday.
Wait.
Oh, it lagged.
Yeah, what is today?
Oh, it's lagging.
Connection is nothing good.
It's whose birthday?
It's Pudgy's birthday today.
Hey, actually, your birthday?
Yeah.
Pudgy, I didn't forget about you wanting a PC too.
I got to figure that out.
Actually, you don't.
Wait, why?
Because when my birthday agent got me a four-monitor brand
new PC.
Agent, you did not.
You suck your agent.
W agents in the chat.
What a good guy.
It can see the newsroom from on PC.
Or monitors.
Yeah, I think he's still interested in the PC.
Well, agent, you got him all right.
He doesn't need one no more.
Technically, but think about what he is.
He didn't bounce it back and forth because he does comedy.
And he wanted a second PC so that he could stream
when he's on the go.
Yeah.
I'm down. I took it from a Make-A-Wish kid, but I can, I can.
That's perfect. If you could take more from other Make-A-Wish kids,
the more you know, we can accept the more the, the more the better.
I'll get a couple. I could probably get a couple. I mean, you know, yeah,
the more the better. We'll take it. We'll take it. And, um, you know,
if you could take five, I'd rather make your wishes come true.
Pudgy, I'd rather make your wishes come true, bro.
Oh, you want the AP and have a swatch?
Yeah, no, I. All right, you know, it's about that time, y'all.
I got to get back to this.
OK, I love you.
Hey, love you, man.
You and Pudger are locked by the way from volleyball locked.
OK, I'm locked, Pudger.
All right, I'll see you later.
All right.
He said put him on a different team.
The Mickey Manil card was altered and resold for $14,800.
Ironically, a separate Stan Musial card from 1948 had its edges trimmed and sold for a nearly $2,000 profit.
By 2019, hundreds of examples of altered cards that PSA had improperly graded had piled up, culminating in a class action lawsuit.
The lawsuit went further than accusing PSA of making a few mistakes.
It argued that trained graders should have been able to recognize the alteration and allege that PSA knowingly allowed them to enter the market regardless.
The situation became too large for PSA to ignore and they announced an internal investigation into the matter.
Now, to I never felt ever in my life when an internal investigations happened like good afterwards.
I and not to say that they're all bullshit, but I've never ever seen a company do an internal investigation
after fucking up and going like, thank you.
I feel so much better now now that you've investigated internally.
it's like all of my concerns lifted off my shoulders. It's just never happened ever in the
history of any company ever. Be fair, PSA grades millions of cards every year and these alterations
were done specifically by the seller to deceive trained authenticators into getting a higher grade.
It is possible that these specific instances were genuine mistakes and someone just figured out how
to beat the authenticators. But whether PSA approved the cards knowingly or made a genuine
mistake, the result for buyers was the same. Altered cards entered the market with legitimate
grades that people thought were original and could be sold for far more money than they were
worth. The thing is, it doesn't fucking matter. That's the issue with PSAs, like it actually
doesn't fucking matter. If it's a 10, it doesn't matter if it's actually an eight, it gets the
value of the 10 grade. Do you know what I mean? It's like the actual design look style look like
it's irrelevant. It just has the 10 slapped on it. You could like, you could get a 10 card and then
hit it with like a UV light to like deteriorate the inside card, but it's still a 10. If it's in
the case, it's in the case, bro. I'm sure, is there a company, I'm sure this happens. I feel like I
I would, like, if I really wanted to make money,
I would start a company where I just make,
like, knockoff PSA slabs.
Cause like, all you need is like a damn printer
and just print PSA 10 on like a bunch of nines.
It'd be impossible to tell and you would literally like,
10x your investment on the cards initially.
I mean, that actually is genuinely a good idea.
Not just because you'd make a shit ton, but it also would take down the entire industry
or at least force them to get a lot better at their jobs because you would need, they
have a barcode.
Yeah, they have a QR code, but I don't know, I've never seen anyone use a fucking QR code
when buying it.
That'd be illegal and fraud.
Yeah, I'm not, that's what I'm not doing.
I'm saying someone else should do.
great idea. It's for sure a crime like a thousand percent but like you would make a
shit ton of money doing it and I don't think it'd be hard. I got too much to
lose I'm not gonna do all that. But that's what I'm saying it's all fake like
if you were able to print a 10 on a 9 everyone would buy it. No one would
Question
Earth, which made people start to wonder if that little number in the corner could really be trusted.
Sometimes customers are disappointed with the grade their card gets. Maybe they thought it was a perfect 10
But PSA found a small imperfection that bumped it down to a 9. The customer now has two choices
They can accept the result and sell the card or they can resubmit it to PSA and hope for a better result
Pokemon card collector and youtuber Pokemon Steven submitted approximately 10,000 cards to be graded by PSA over the
What the past couple of years a little under 200 of his cards received unsatisfactory
Gratings he believed that these cards were actually 10s
So he decided to resubmit them on the off chance that someone had made a mistake and the results were shocking
81 PSA 10s
From the regrade experiment
189 cards in total so 108 cards so like like 40 45 percent of all cards that were good nines became 10s
that's crazy make the cut 81 of the resubmitted cards were bumped up from a ps a 9 to a ps a 10 that's
42 percent but he had not changed the card at all the corners the art the surface were all exactly
the same as when he submitted them the first time the only thing that changed was the grade itself
And as discussed prior, the difference between these two grades can mean the difference of hundreds, thousands, and in extreme cases, millions of dollars.
What one inspector views as a 9, the other may view as a 10. And it's starting to seem like the only difference is how lucky you are when your card is being reviewed.
That's why I feel like TAG is better, but apparently TAG also suffers the same issues, where when they scan the cards, they get different, like, results.
PSA's grading system is supposed to be an objective measurement of the card's condition,
but as more controversies pile up, the grading seems subjective.
Just goes to show that people are insane for paying such a massive premium for TENS.
100%. I think that the premium for TENS is a joke. I think it's like cartoonish.
PSA is a huge scam, but resubmitting the card could also hurt its value.
Another collector submitted over 100 cards to be regraded, 19 were given higher grades,
but 34 of them were actually given a worse grade. But why does this happen? I mean,
the rules are clear enough. Four perfectly sharp corners, full original gloss, no stains or no
scratches, with a slight allowance for printing imperfections. The problem is that a human
grader still has to decide what counts as perfect. Maybe there's a small mark in the artwork that
one grader notices while the other one doesn't. What one grader sees as a printing imperfection,
another may view as an unnatural defect that bumps its grade down. So now, submitting to PSA is
like gambling, especially when you consider the fees associated with this process.
Oh my god, the fees of PSA are cartoonish. Like, A, PSA takes for fucking ever because you're so
backed up, but then B, when you submit the amount that it costs is dependent on the card's
value and you cannot lie.
So if you submit a card that's worth like 10k, you have to spend, it's like, I forget
the percentage, it's like 10% or some shit.
It's like 10% of the card's value.
It's like, it's crazy how much you have to spend.
to PSA for grading cost $25 per card plus shipping.
And they do offer slight discounts for bulk submissions.
But think about it, if you get a low grade,
your card could be worth less than 25 bucks.
Meaning it costs more to authenticate and grade
than it's actually worth.
However, if your card is worth more,
PSA will charge you insane amounts of money
to do the exact same grading as a worthless card.
That makes no sense to me.
Like Nico, who submitted his rare Mickey Mouse card
that was worth $20,000 to PSA,
only for them to charge him $1,000
for his perfect 10 grade.
Bro, $1,000.
And they give you the fee,
not based off of the ungraded value of the card,
but the graded value of the card,
which makes no fucking sense.
Like why would you charge more for a 10
than a fucking eight?
It should be, maybe, like I low key, I get it.
if it's a $10,000 ungraded card,
versus a $10 ungraded card,
maybe you charge more as like some insurance
or whatever, fine, maybe.
But like to give it the grade
and then charge after the service is crazy.
Or Scruffy, who has charged $150 for a 10 grade 2021
Pokemon Sword and Shield of all things skies
and $600 for a nine grade 2002 Charizard Reverse Foil.
There's a-
Dude, look at that, 600 for a nine.
Imagine the 10.
And $600 for a 9 grade 2002 Charizard Reverse Foil.
There's also John, who was told by PSA
his card was worth $25,000,
which is why he needed to pay them $1,000 to authenticate it.
But then his card only sold for half the value
they claimed it was worth.
And so they got $1,000 off of a $12,000 card.
Yeah, it's crazy.
And no, they didn't give him a $500 discount and say,
oops, we messed up.
And he still made a great profit,
But remember that the grading process for all of these cards is exactly the same,
and you don't know what they are going to charge you until after they have already done the service.
This has led some collectors to accuse PSA of intentionally having inconsistent grading,
so people will just keep submitting their cards for additional gradings.
Dude, yeah! If you can get someone to crack and re-grade like my dumbass did for the experiment, you get a crazy amount of money.
This is unlikely considering they've been shown to both overgrade and undergrade cards.
Then again, there are stories that make it easy to understand why some collectors still remain skeptical.
The most notable example of this is when a collector named Preston submitted 30 separate Pikachu Zekrom GX cards to PSA for grading.
He anticipated that most of them would be perfect 10s, but he was shocked to discover that none of them received a perfect grade,
with the vast majority of them receiving PSA 9s.
In spite of his disappointment, Preston opted to sell the cards through PSA's buyback service.
However, he kept records of the serial numbers on his cards and searched them later online
to discover that 11 of them had been listed as perfect tens.
Around this time, a PSA 9 of this exact card was going for around $41, while a PSA 10 was
nearly $200, meaning that PSA bought them from him as a 9 and sold them as a 10.
Impressed and missed out on around $1,500 for all 11 cards and this highlights the conflict
Wait, so did PSA re-grade them?
That's insane.
Interest I mentioned before, the only people who can change a grade are PSA themselves.
So if they are authenticating and buying and selling cards, they could theoretically change
the grade of any card to maximize their personal profits on the sale.
It's just such it's such a dice roll like there's nothing that makes a 10 a 10
Except for if it says it's a 10
You can have 10 people look at the same card and that like it's easy to see what's not a 10
But it's hard to say what is a 10 and that like wiggle room that gray area is where corruption happens
You can see this is a legendary collection reverse. I love the legendary collection by the way
PSA 10 manky that's listed on ebay by PSA themselves
But if this card is a PSA 10
Then why does the back look like this because how are they listing a card that looks like this dude?
That's like a six as a PSA 10 on ebay through the PSA ebay account. They need to get sued more
It's all a scam. I hate that PSA is the one that got popular
popular. However, PSA offered a different explanation. Supposedly, someone at PSA had
seen Preston's original post on Twitter. They personally believed that the initial grading
was too harsh and conducted a secondary manual review, resulting in updated gradings after
Preston had already accepted their offer, which is...shady.
Which is insane.
Which is fucking insane.
That's not shady, that's insane.
Yeah, we graded all 30 cards that were all 9s, but then after when we bought them, we're
like, wait, hold up, these are actually fucking 10s, but we already bought them, so we just
sold them for dunce.
They conveniently realized that they messed up only after they already bought the cards
from him and resold them for a profit. Luckily for Preston, his story got a lot of traction
online and he claims that they privately rectified the situation with him, which I would hope
means that they gave him the money he deserves for the cards he unknowingly undersold to
them. But that still doesn't feel like a satisfying conclusion and still-
No, it just seems like they got caught so they rectified that one situation. Obviously,
I feel like this could happen every fucking day if people wouldn't know about it.
didn't explain why the cards were undergraded in the first place.
A fellow collector claimed that cards tend to be undergraded by PSA when they received
bulk quantities of the same card.
I guess the logic is that when you look at the same card over and over again, you maybe
start to see imperfections that aren't there, or maybe the same person is just going over
all of them and is like, surely they can't all be 10, so here's a 9.
Or I think they also don't want to give like 30 10s because it would change the population
so much. So, like, if you get one, you know, Pikachu's Ekrem, you're like, okay, that one
can be a 10. But if you get like 30, you're like, well, we can't make 30 tens come out.
30 tens would change the market so much. Obviously, that would be corrupt and unethical
business practices. But most importantly, PSA did not make the situation right with Preston
until after he went viral on social media and gave them bad publicity. Was Preston the only person
this has ever happened to? Or was he just lucky enough to get attention online and put pressure
on PSA to pay him what they owed? One of the most insane controversies that gained traction online
was when PSA admitted they damaged someone's extremely rare card, and many saw this as the
final nail in the coffin for their reputation. A man named Brian revealed that his PSA 10 Pokemon
card was severely damaged while getting it re-holdered by PSA, bumping it all the way down to
a grade six. The card was a sky splitting deoxys. An extremely rare card released in limited quantities
in 2004 and never printed in English. There were very few copies like this and in his condition,
making Brian's card almost impossible to replace. Now Brian was getting his card re-holdered. Basically
what this means is he already submitted it before and it got a 10, but he was paying them to crack
open the old plastic case and seal the exact same card into a brand new holder. Collectors do this all
the time if the slab gets scratched, cracked, or it just looks old.
A low key those slash marks look awesome. I wouldn't get that re-holdered. That looks so sick.
Brush holder can make an expensive card easier to sell because buyers know the case is brand new
and the card had recently been inspected. The problem is, at the moment PSA cracks the case
open, they're handling one of the rarest cards in the world, and if anything goes wrong, the damage
is permanent. PSA acknowledged that they had damaged the card and offered to reimburse Brian
the full market value, which they determined to be $20,000. I mean, that's pretty nice. He wasn't
happy with this considering that the same card had sold for up to $45,000 around the same time.
Never mind, that seems a bit low now in hindsight. The other saying it was worth even more.
Multiple people have told me that the deoxys is $60,000 plus, and I personally have an offer over
that. PSA fixed this issue. Okay, I think the $60,000 is probably bullshit, but better to lie and
and say the number's higher,
then give them more wiggle room to the actual number.
PSA got the $20,000 figure by averaging
all of the recent sales of that same card.
And this just seemed like a slap in the face
because at best they're offering half,
and at worst, a third of what it's actually worth.
But the problem is they caused the loss of the card
and then gave themselves the authority
to decide how much that loss was worth.
Yeah, I do. I actually feel like this is a court situation. No, I feel like this is a 1,000% court situation. Let me look. So it is the lenticular deoxys. Let's look at sold. I'm curious.
The lenticular deoxys.
Yeah, that's too much money to not go to court for.
Sky splitting deoxys sales PSA 10.
Oh, it only has like literally one sale in the last year.
So it is really hard to claim how much it's worth.
Yeah, it might be actually the the the nines are selling for 10,000 the nines.
And there's one 10 sale in February for 45k.
Rather than accepting their deal, Brian took to the internet.
Once again, the community was furious, and this specific situation ramped up to a whole
new level once Moist Critical made a video about it.
This is where it gets extremely spicy.
That card sold only a couple of weeks ago, by PSA.
And this is where it gets a little conspiratorial, but I think there's a lot of merit to it.
are people that are speculating that they didn't actually damage his card when re-holding it.
The encapsulation process, it's a PSI-op, it's not real. What they're thinking might
have happened is PSA when re-holding that PSA 10 deoxys that was submitted. They took
it and then sold it themselves and then instead gave him a six saying that it was damaged
in there, it's you know, it's down to a six. I would be shocked not to say that that's above them
or below them. But I think I think they actually just fucked it up just because you know, I've
had a situation with cards where the people opening it fucked it up.
I do think it's it's not that difficult to break in and fuck up a car. Yes, PSA now stands for
pro scam artists. Critical brought awareness to this dispute far outside the card collecting
community, putting PSA under more pressure than ever before. Brian announced they had come to an
agreement that he was satisfied with, indicating that he was compensated for the proper market value
of his card. By this point, the pattern becomes...
Dude, it's funny. It's like, if you ever have an issue with PSA, just get as much public
attention as possible, and then they'll give you money to stop talking about it. That seems
like the strat.
Too familiar. PSA rejected a complaint. The collector went public on the internet, and
then the company changed their mind after the story went viral. There are dozens of
other examples of PSA destroying their customers' cards, and you have to wonder if these individuals
were ever given proper compensation, probably not because a massive YouTuber didn't make
a video about them. And now I'm just genuinely curious if anyone watching has ever had this
happen to them? Like, you submitted a card to PSA and you know for a 100% fact that they
messed up your card and then sent it back but hope that you never notice? Comment below
if that happened. PSA's grade is supposed to be a-
Oh my god.
I have that card, Ancient Mew, I have mine in meadow, symbol of reliability and prestige,
but these days their reputation isn't much better than a sketchy pawn shop, and yet
people are still sending in millions of cards to PSA every single year, but why?
Well the thing is, most collectors don't continue to use PSA because they trust them,
continue because they have no other realistic option. There are other companies that do
gradings, but a card with a PSA label can sell for far more than the same card graded by a competitor.
Yeah, I think the issue is that PSA has breached like normies and so it's like the most known
brand and because of that it's worth more because it's more trusted because it's more known.
And so for you to start the wave from a principled standpoint and use other companies, it would only hurt you financially, which is like a bit tough.
I think CGC is too soft to ever become mainstream and I think their cases are too ugly. I think TAG can do it.
I think tag I think ace can also do it actually, but I think tag can do it. I think ace can do it
They just honestly it's whoever's the most consistent even PSA for another authenticator would significantly cut down the overall value of someone's collection
And with the prices for some of these cards
We're talking about millions of dollars in value right down the drain boycotting won't work because all collectors would have to do it together
The market has decided that PSA is the gold standard and it's almost impossible to go against what the market wants.
As long as buyers seek out PSA graded cards, sellers will continue to sell them.
Which means that they will just have to deal with whatever nonsense comes with working with PSA.
The issue is also PSA has all the information.
Like if you want to look at the population of a card, you look at the PSA versions of that card and it gives you a better idea.
video. But honestly, the change would start if a website like pricecharting.com were to
start auto-displaying tag instead of PSA. For example, they show PSA 10 here. That's
what auto pops up. But if they were to show tag 10 automatically or CGC instead, I think
Think that would, the issues look bro.
There are zero tag tens.
CGC has a good amount.
But I need like a website like this, nieces are the change too.
This is why monopolies are supposed to be illegal, but above all else PSA is just another
Another example of how any hobby or niche eventually gets hijacked and exploited by corporations.
The same thing happened with sneakers.
Any regular person who wants to occasionally, maybe once a year or every other year, buy
a nice pair of sneakers, has to deal with insane price gouging, unavailability of sizes
because collectors or resellers pay thousands of dollars just to let a pair collect dust
on a shelf.
Shoes turned into a status symbol, and now it's trading cards.
playing with your Pokemon card could scratch the artwork, and wearing your sneakers could
scuff them up, which will devalue them. Which is ironic because most people buy nice things
because they want to actually use nice things, but the only way to protect the value is to avoid
enjoying it for what it is. And unfortunately, no hobby is safe from this. It's only going to get
worse. Once people begin to put a price on their favorite pastime, they make way for
opportunists to take advantage of the hobby and shut up buddy PSA isn't just a tragic story of an
innocent hobby being corrupted it is a reminder that nothing you love is safe or sacred anymore
and PSA isn't the only business that's built an empire by telling people what their collectibles
are worth pawn stars made a fortune with these same questionable tactics check out this video
to hear that story. Yeah, dude. You know what the weirdest thing
about Pokemon cards is? It's that like, at this point, there is not a single reason if
you are in it for monetary gain to open up a pack of Pokemon cards. Like the pack or
the box is always more valuable than the value of the cards you will open. Like always. Like
one at what 99 out of a hundred times. It's only in the niche case that you get the the chase card
and it's a 10. That's it. That's it. That's like the only time ever that you ever can make money.
Like I have a Pokemon Legendary Collections box. I've had it for like fucking years now. I've probably
been sitting on this for like five years and it's worth like it's worth it's actually in the background
right there. It's worth like I don't know it's worth like tens of thousands of dollars. If I ever
open that box, right? It's it's it's gonna lose half of its value
instantly, like like instantly, bro. Because look, here's the
deal. If you look, alright, at the legendary collection value,
the most valuable card is the Charizard. If it's a nine, which
is a great grade, it's worth 15k. Alright, so I have to get the
Charizard and even if it's a nine I still lose half the value of the box because the box is worth 30k
Only in the universe that I open it and I get the Charizard and it's a 10
Well, I start making money. I guess there's a few other cards, but they all I'd have to get a 10
I'd have to get a 10 on basically these are these are the the like the five universes is
Either I get the Charizard the Gengar the Pikachu the Mewtwo the Snorlax
relax or the Gyarados. Open it. No, I'm good. Cause look, I have this.
I got I got every single every single card
I think I could low key regrade the Charizard and get a nine, but no 10s. Well, yeah, that makes sense though
I bought so I bought if you want to if look if your interest is making money
You either buy boxes and resell them out of the later date or you buy cards and you resell them at a later date
Nobody makes money by buying boxes and opening them
So I bought every I bought literally every single card in this set. I own all of them. I have all of them framed
And we're talking like like fucking 200 cars. I'm talking about every single reverse foil and then I got every single one of them graded and
And I bought them all for I think nineteen thousand dollars
And I it's made money if I were to sell it it would make money because I mean that even that I have an eight and a half
I guess they don't have the price for an eight and a half but name half's probably worth like 10k
To the Charizard alone is half the value
But just straight up owning it. What about heavy packs? I don't think so, bro. I
Don't think so. I look the way actual traders do it as you buy it and you hold it and then you sell later
But I just bought it because I really like it and I'm never gonna sell it ever
I'm I don't know. Maybe I'll fucking sell it if I get broke or my kids want to sell it or some shit, but
Why is blast toys before Charizard?
Because I had Yingo put in the box, bro, and he just put it in randomly.
What's going to happen when Pokemon Company decides to do reprints?
I don't think the Pokemon Company's interest is in doing reprints, but beyond that, the
Pokemon Company's never going to reprint that because the Pokemon Company is not the
one who made the legendary collection. I believe I'm correct about this. I believe the legendary
collection is a part of Wizards of the Coast because they used to be the ones in charge of
printing Pokemon cards. So it would be weird for them to reap. They couldn't. They just couldn't do it.
I guess they low-key kind of did with evolutions in a way
But it's just never gonna be the same. This is a different company who made it
But yeah, I don't know man, I feel like Pokemon cars like it's like it's like sad, bro
Because if you're just a genuine child who's interested, it's just like a miserable hobby.
It's just nothing like when we were kids, you know what I'm saying?
Like it's nothing like when I was a kid you could just have Pokemon cards, you could
go to school, you could trade them to friends, you could put a whole pack in the wash and
like it was chill.
Nowadays you have to go to a vending machine that restocks every 30 minutes and there's
five guys walking around the vending machine waiting for it to be available.
And then a person who works at Target, hiding 7 packs under like the Nesquik Isle, waiting
for work to end so they can grab them to buy them later.
Like it's just fucked, bro.
Are you interested in Rift Bounds?
Um, no, not really. I have a refund set though.
I got this.
And then, I don't know what this is.
I got this.
This might just be like a starter deck or something.
I
Open it now my plan is to just never open it
Like
It's like bro, I like if I just like let's say riff bound pops off
And rip out like pops the fuck off in like, you know a few years then in like 10 years
The og box that I got from riot is gonna be worth way more than if I open it now
And then if I open it now, I'm just gonna have a bunch of fucking cards in my room
The only reason I would open it now is if I played it
If I played it and I wanted to like but I don't play it so why would I open it?
you don't play Pokemon well yeah but I also don't open the valuable box unless
I'm doing like a YouTube video or something
play it bro you are 30 speaks you literally missed the big walk hangout
They all played with my dead corpse. Dude, I have to play fucking CS2 at some point.
Oh yeah, let's watch another video. I had another video that I wanted to watch. What was it called?
I forget. I literally had the idea of it. What was it? Oh, LilyPichu Overwatch. Is it a video?
All right, we'll watch Ida P, though
I
Oh, yeah, the Joe Barker video, that's the one I want to watch, we'll watch it after.
But apparently Lily got announced as a character in overwatch today, which is exciting. Let's take a look
Watch the animated video first. Is that not this? What is that?
There's an animated trailer where?
Is it this tough called demon hero through this right?
I'm trying to figure out which voice is Lily, I don't think we've heard it yet.
Oh, Korean.
Wait, Lily already spoke?
What the fuck?
Which one was Lily?
Is it that with the accent?
It's not that, right?
Wait, that's Lily?
That's Lily Peachy.
What?
What the fuck?
Am I crazy?
That's Lily?
What the fuck?
Am I crazy?
That's Lily?
I thought it was going to be like trying to do a lily-peach accent.
Get the squad on me!
You know?
I thought it was going to be closer to her real voice.
Oh my god, dude, she's sound?
I don't even recognize her.
I genuinely don't recognize her at all.
Okay, wait, hold up, I kinda hear it a little bit.
I kinda hear it a little bit.
I kind of hear it a little bit.
That's not her, right?
Okay, what the fuck is the lore of Overwatch?
Sorry, it takes place on Earth.
I didn't realize it took place on Earth.
Like, this is Busan, South Korea?
Is that right?
I thought it was, like, a made-up look.
What the hell were the rest of the words?
What the hell is the Gwishek?
Who are Talon?
once they're handled. We're going after challenge.
Dude, I genuinely can't hear Lily's voice. This is crazy. This is insane.
Bro, she had to have had a zen in for this shoot.
It's great. It matches the character's look a lot. I feel like her voice matches the character's look.
Because I feel like the character is like a mature a mature femme fatale
Yeah, I recognize that voice
i'm reading growing pains let's go it hasn't been easy for our squad since
diva left with overwatch we were already a small team
charges it kind of like the equivalent of me being like
it has been easy for our squad since diva left overwatch
we were already a small team with protecting the city of millions
do i sound way different wait wait wait tell me if you can recognize my voice
tell me if you recognize my voice
It hasn't been easy for our squad since D.Va left Overwatch.
No, I'm not saying I don't hang out with 3rd graders, I don't hang out with those 3rd
graders.
Was that also a voice actor maybe?
Nancy from the east. King, I need you there. You got it, Timon.
I feel her absence in every maneuver. Overlord, follow his. No, we're spread too thin. This
regards last, Overlord. Take down the Bombadeers. Lily had me... I actually don't know if I'm a
lot of... Ah, fuck, I don't hear. Lily had me voice acting something yesterday. She said I did a great
job. So not to flex, but I might be a bit of a voice actor myself.
Lily was playing a lot of Overwatch because I knew about this role for a bit.
I didn't know what it sounded like, but I knew about the role because you didn't play
Overwatch and I was like where are you playing Overwatch and she was like oh because you know I want to like
You know that like I have a voice in the game and I will say this now
I kind of want to be an overwatch nurse. Excuse me. I want to play over. I don't want to be in it
I want to play an overwatch. I want to play overwatch to play Lily's character
I've like never played over I played like four games ever
The formations we've perfected for years aren't working anymore
I do want to voice act, but no, I want to voice act.
I guess I should just probably like put my asks out there because like I really believe
if you put it into the universe, it can happen.
But if you if you don't, it can't.
So I guess to any deaf studios, guys, hello, I'm Ludwig.
If you are thinking of a French character, I'm an authentic French person.
And maybe you're thinking of an inbred character, Street Fighter 6.
I'm also a great person for this.
So just consider me and for your game in the future.
Thank you.
Hey, stay in formation.
You're putting us all at risk.
My dream game would be Street Fighter 6.
We don't work anymore with every battle we fall further apart.
I'm sorry, Demon.
I would like to be Tifa and simulation and simulation that's all right that wasn't an example of my work. Oh
She's doing it right now. I got to tell people who I love like the people I love that I love them
It's like the melancholy of time
It's me.
I want to sit on this.
Yes, anyway, yeah.
And I like, it's an old, old one.
Crash landing on you.
This is what I voice acted in, it's me.
I remember watching that and I'm just, I look,
I also feel like married in real life.
The actress, the lead.
Yeah, she drew me as the Prince of Fuling.
Wait, my eyes aren't even?
What?
Are they?
I think I'm just on a slant.
Ouch!
Those simulations hit hard and if they've been relocating, you'll be dead.
OK, I don't know what the words mean or the lorries, but that's sick, bro.
I'm pumped for Lily.
Shout out. Shout out, Lily.
Pichu and Overwatch.
They're saying it's the best thing to happen to Overwatch
since they removed the two.
I can change your Wikipedia profile picture.
Oh, my God, wait, fucking please, dude.
Do it, man, because Jesus, bro, am I sick of this picture?
Like this is like the intro pose to Jackson, the 30 year old who plays a high
schooler in a Disney Channel original movie.
I look hideous.
Give us a public domain photo to use.
It's me, but public domain.
I don't know. Sorry, was that right? Public domain.
I don't get Wikipedia, like none of the Wikipedia articles, like it's funny what is included.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I guess it makes me realize like when I read someone's Wikipedia article, it's like
a snapshot of things in their life, but it's not like an accurate maybe retelling of their
life from the perspective of the person who lived it.
And I'm not done to shame anyone who wrote this because like it's obviously a lot of
work and it's free labor, but it's just funny that like in the Wikipedia article, it says
March 2023, Augurn released what would later become his most viewed video titled,
This Joke Always Works. As of June 2026, the video's 49 million views. In the video,
Augurn tells the Japanese man, and then they write Japanese, Boko no chinchin wa chisidas.
Text in the video translates to, I have a small dick. Like this is in the article,
which is just such a funny, not the idea that you're including what is in most viewed video,
but like explaining it and the joke in written form is kind of funny to me.
It's kind of funny. I don't... It's not wrong, right? That's what I'm saying. Like, if this did
happen, it's just a funny thing to include.
I don't think the mango drama is here anymore, unless I'm reading it wrong. It used to be
here. Oh yeah it is. Boom. It's literally half of my return to Twitch. I guess it's
all I've done in the last two years. Tough, bro. We don't even got StreamerU up there.
I don't even have my Chinese arc up there.
I like how extra Emily is Emily John.
And it's just it's just links to O.T.K.
How's this fucking article how's this article doing?
Oh, no drama.
Okay.
I got a whole fucking paragraph.
All right.
All right, boys, I wanted to watch this video about Joe Bart.
It's from the people who made a documentary about me a while ago called Gulf Cart.
The curse of building something too big.
But yeah, they did one about Joe that I thought we'd watch together.
You know what the most important part of any live stream is?
The chat.
Every night, thousands of viewers pour into their favorite streamers chat.
Together, they decide what games get played, what videos get watched, and the streamers
who keep them entertained get paid.
Oh my god, it's me.
What the hell I made an appearance.
Is chat the most important part of live streaming?
Yeah, probably.
It sounds pretty easy, right?
Just give the chat what it wants.
The problem is, chat never wants just one thing.
There's thousands of people all asking for something different, and no matter what you
do, some of them have you.
Yeah, true.
The biggest streamers learn to follow the majority and keep the party moving.
Also chats full of idiots.
Can I say that?
I think I've literally never respected chat's opinion on what they want, and I never listened
to what they want because, and I don't mean it with disrespect, but here's the deal with
chat.
You only know as much as you only know the things you like that you've already experienced.
So if you ask chat to do something, they'll tell you to just do the same thing again and again and again and again until they get bored of it.
Because that's all they know is the things that they like.
So for you to take a risk and try something new, like, like for example, and this is like a small one, but like before streamer games,
if I asked chat, should I do like a worldwide contest or the draft again?
Everyone would have been like, oh, do the draft again because they really liked the draft from last year.
But after the event so many people are like, oh, don't do the draft again
I like the worldwide edition because people took it more seriously because they like had more pride in their team or their country or whatever
But like they wouldn't know that until they saw it
So I feel like you have to
It like it's it sometimes it's wrong
But like I get to take risks that chat would be against
Because stopping everything for one unhappy viewer is the part of the sin of streaming.
You don't need 10,000 people hanging over a single name in the chat.
But what happens when the needs of the one are a matter of life and death?
My girlfriend of three years took her own life in November of 2025, losing my best friend
of the person I love most in the world.
I'm feeling like my life is no longer worth living and I've been falling into a bad habit
of drug addiction leading me to some MDMA in December.
I don't want to be here anymore.
This is Joe Bartoloszi and he's one of the only streamers that stops everything when
someone needs help.
If a chatter of mine is coming into my chat saying they're suicidal, I am first and foremost
going to read their message.
But when you do this, when you make yourself the person people turn to at their lowest,
you're also now the one who has to carry the weight of it.
Because now you're surrounded by darkness.
Today I decided to end everything.
Got a shotgun.
Can't find it in me to love myself.
Now you're giving away pieces of yourself to everyone around you.
Dude, I feel like this video is going to 10x the number of people who go to Joe's chat to do this.
Maybe in a way that he likes or doesn't like, I'm not sure.
Because I think it's an act he does, but not necessarily promotes.
People are genuinely asking me to fix their problems. I can't.
Now it feels like the whole world is on your shoulders.
Now I'm going. Oh, if I stop posting, people are gonna start to give themselves.
That's a heavy weight to pick up, and we wanted to know why.
Who is Joe Bartolozzi, and why do you care so deeply about some of the things that you do?
Um, which is maybe a little deep for 10.30 in the morning, but no, it's all right.
And Joe Bartolozzi was born on February 6th, 2002, and grew up in Southern New Jersey.
Joe wasn't the kid you've picked to become famous on one.
He was the small quiet kid, the one getting picked last for everything.
I was kind of like, no.
Damn, Shost fired.
Blanky kid that didn't really know how to control his body. So that's why I was picked last.
Oh, he was picked last.
But my high school face belt turned wrong.
He hit his girl's butt, got into lifting, and went from being the kid nobody picked to a legitimate athlete.
So by 2019, Joe's a track athlete in a Catholic prep school in New Jersey working part-time
in a GNC heading towards a completely different life.
Dude, Joe deadass looks Mormon.
He looks like married at 21 three kids by 25 levels of Mormon
And then a Chinese tech company bought a dying lip-syncing app
Tiktok is the latest app to capture the attention of teens and young adults across the world a Chinese company called by dance bought the relatively dead app
Musically they got it it rebranded it and on August 2nd 2018
Tiktok officially hit the app store Tiktok Tiktok Tiktok
Now early on Tiktok was mostly just the same creators who came over from Musically
So all of those cringey lip sync videos and the reputation became with them carried straight open.
Going through your parents divorce is more fun than going through TikTok.
For a while there, TikTok as a whole was pretty cringey.
Yeah, you should get made fun of.
But even with that reputation, Joe figured he'd try it anyway.
He posted his first TikTok in December of 2019 and it got a few hundred likes,
which is nothing crazy, but it was enough.
I've never seen Joe's old stuff ever. Like I know Joe's new stuff.
But I've never seen his old stuff from high school
Which is nothing crazy, but I I I don't think it's embarrassing to be honest like I used vine vine is what existed for me in
High school, and I post it online all the time and like a bunch of my vines are embarrassing
But like I'm not embarrassed by them
I think the act of like being vulnerable and posting silly videos is like in essence what it is to be in your youth
It was enough to make him post another one.
you
that
I'm here. This is the version of Joe. That is crazy.
That person in that facade I had to do to create that character actually became me for a short period of time and I hated it.
But as much as Joe hates this version of himself, he also kind of owes everything to him.
Because that ego is what gave him the confidence and drive to start making bigger swings in his career.
And when you're building yourself from the ground up, those two things can be the difference between success and failure.
You see, everyone wants to start their own thing until they realize how much work starting actually takes.
Building your website, setting up payments, all the boring stuff.
Most people don't quit because the idea was bad.
They quit because the setup got in the way.
That's where WAP comes in.
Dude, what the fuck was the weirdest ad read of all time?
WAP lets you launch your entire online business from one place.
Communities, digital products, or even services.
He didn't like change the music from Joe's section to the ad,
so it just like it just floated into the ad.
Whatever it is that you're building,
no more stitching together five different tools from five different places
Just to get out as smoothly under one word and it's not like they feel like I got duped into watching this head
Waps constantly rolling out new features based on what you actually need like better analytics new ways to engage your audience
Any hell they even have their own tax service the platform keeps evolving right?
Well, he has to get out as clean as he got in the only thing stopping you is not knowing where to start
Head on over to WAP comm today
But now back to Joe in the business he was just starting to build not as seamless not as seamless
Let's start with diversifying his audience because unlike YouTube or Twitch your follower count is kind of empty on TikTok
You can have a million followers on there and make no money because the platform
Dude, I think Joe talked about having 10 million followers on TikTok and only making $10,000 in a year, which is crazy
That's like absurd
How low the the payout is
It didn't open
Yeah, damn, isn't she beautiful?
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Yeah I saw Joe talk about this that he made 10k in a year with 10 mil followers and I
I was like, man, TikTok really doesn't do shit.
I don't think I've ever made money on TikTok or Instagram.
Like ever.
I don't even think I set up the payment.
I'll be honest.
Which is probably on, well, it's not probably,
it's definitely on me.
I ordered food, but it doesn't pay its creators anything worthwhile like I was probably
You're wearing an evil hat?
Oh, fuck it.
I didn't close the curtain.
Now it looks better.
Here, I was making less than minimum wage.
So in the summer of 2020, just before starting his freshman year, college, Joe announced
is first ever Twitch.
I'm going to start streaming video games on Twitch in a day or two.
He started moving viewers from TikTok to Twitch, where he'd stream games like Rocket
League and Fall Guys.
Oh, I got it!
I got it!
Then he'd take the best moments from those streams and post them to YouTube.
By fall of that year, Joe was juggling multiple TikTok uploads a day, streaming on Twitch,
making YouTube content, all while managing his classwork in college.
What was the schedule like in college?
There's so much going on.
Yeah, it's a lot.
It was a lot, like, balancing streaming and college suck, but it was so doable, and I
hate when streamers say, oh, I really needed to drop out to pursue streaming, like, get
them out of here.
I was growing and in college the entire time.
Thank you for three million followers.
Dude, I would have hated making content in college.
Man, I would have hated that.
I guess I did a bit.
I used to go down to in my dorm room, like the computer center or whatever.
And I used to use the computers there to edit because my laptop wasn't good enough to edit
in college.
It's where I edit shit like this, like my first videos.
Yes, if you're wondering, I did time the fare in the reverse back air to the music.
Yes, I did.
Yes, I did that.
I really had that level of fucking thought into my edits, bro.
This is from July 7, 2015, the day after my damn birthday.
What a big GCD in the chat.
Damn, bro, we were right to hire editors.
All right, bro.
Chill.
I have some banger videos.
Okay.
My mutu king combo video.
I spent the entire winter break in
not final. What's the what's the animation software on Mac?
I spent I'm not shitting you probably two weeks in
uh no not i movie the nice one apple motion bro i used motion to make this and it's one of the
worst you could have done this in premier easier
The new transitions.
video it's meeting all of my standards you see me to king sick edge guards you're filled with
determination this is awesome yo you already know and i super appreciate that oh because it's
kira and that was how they intro their videos me to king finish level with one hand one of my
favorite youtube videos ever while this guy is a big streamer for 12 year olds now i'm not
a lot of big streamer for 12 year olds, bro.
Those streamer for for teenagers to young adults, different.
Can't can't actually watch to add enough.
You know this, you actually can't watch
which is a 12 year old need to be 13 to make an account.
So, you know,
guy who really loves that undetailed super smash post edit.
Now you make shit for kids, bro.
To listen to what the movie comes from, by December, Joe proved five million followers
on tip-top, and just a few months after his first stream, Joe was pulling in nearly a
thousand average viewers on Twitch.
Joe was constantly studying social media, trying to understand what made videos pop,
what people responded to, and why certain videos failed.
That confidence had turned into a full-blown obsession, but because of it, Joe was starting
I'm trying to map out where the ego kind of starts to disappear versus
Like was there a low point a moment where you're like, holy I got a change? Yeah, I I don't really I don't think there was like an aha
Right, it wasn't like a light switch flip
It was more over the span of like a six month period where I was like I'm kind of being a dickhead
Yeah, uh, coupled with a variety of things, so I don't know if you can include this in the video.
That's up to you. Um, I tripped on mushrooms for the first time, like, and I hate when people
talk about, like, that being a, like, a genuine changing factor in their life, because it's like,
okay, cornball, like, that's what made you, you know, really have that light switch, but I think
it was like, it was a part of it, you know, like, it removed the grooves of life that I have gotten
into and it made me reset to a point where I had to kind of look in myself. A lot of the people
that I knew in philosophy classes as well were sharing ideas that, you know, I may have heard,
but not resonated or understood fully. It was so much like, don't do it. I've done mushrooms twice.
Neither time did it change my personality. Maybe I didn't do enough or maybe I've maybe
understood pretty dispositions to have that effect with them. But I did do a podcast on it
And I really hated that. I really didn't like that.
About halfway through the podcast, I couldn't get over the fact that I was on mushrooms being
on a podcast. Wow, I'm gonna die one day. I should kind of treat people in a way that's like,
this is our only life. And I have credit my viewers a lot. Because in that time,
peer-searchable relationships built a little bit, which is bad.
But at the same time, there were people coming to me for the first time going,
I want to **** myself. You were chatting to your last streamer because you're amending it all.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
if there was a moment of like lock in, it was that. What happened? One of my subs just said he's
yourself. Dude, do you need help? Because I was going, yeah, even though I'm 19, you know,
there are people that actually look up to me in a way that's like, I need to be better.
Life is the best thing that will ever happen, no matter how bad it can get. Life is amazing.
Now, put yourself in that chair for a second. You're 19 years old. You started streaming
to play video games, to have fun and make people laugh, and somebody you've never met
just told you they're planning their own death, and out of everyone in their life-
Dude, what a crazy message.
Thanks for everything.
I'm gonna kill myself.
...and somebody you've never met just told you they're planning their own death.
Yeah, that's a hard one.
That's a hard one?
I think in the streaming chair.
Out of everyone in their life, they picked you to tell.
I feel like no one cares and I want to end it all like a date plan so you'll probably
never see me again. I want to say you make me laugh a lot. I'm going to self october
second. No one will remember me. And this kept happening. Joe would go live and sooner
or later, somebody would show up in a genuine crisis, typing their darkest thoughts into
a twitch chat. Don't want to be a mood killer. I just want to say my family basically bullies
me every day and I can't get them to stop. I've been thinking about suicide a lot.
When Joe, I feel bad watching this because I feel like when people go to Joe's chat,
they go because they're considering suicide and they're looking for some help and some
of the recognize and Joe's good at accepting that. And I feel like when you go to my chat,
There's a high chance I'm gonna tell you to kill yourself and that feels like I'm doing something wrong, maybe I
Feel like maybe I am
The bad guy
First started getting these messages from chatters
His initial response was the same as anyone with the hearts would be he wanted to help both on-stream and off of it
Joe took the time to talk with those viewers getting to know them on a personal level and giving them real advice
Just like you would with the front you guys
mean
Roll to me if you need help with something like that. I I can try my best
So that's why I'm kind of chilling or pausing the stream for the last like 15 minutes talk about this because
That's important
But there's a harsh reality that all streamers have to learn eventually your viewers aren't your friends. They can't be I have had
Probably 20 people come to me about themselves like on live the first two times it's happened
I have tried to like help them and then it just ended badly in terms of them getting
parasocial towards me, and the nods stop coming to me.
You see, the relationship between a streamer and a viewer is way more complicated than
a normal friendship.
When you spend hours watching someone through a screen, day after day, your brain starts
doing something weird.
You pick up their sense of humor, you learn their opinions, their roots, what makes them
laugh and what sets them all.
You come to know them the way you'd know a friend, except they have no idea you even
exist.
This is what's called a parasocial relationship, and it can be a dangerous thing.
Now a scary home invasion has three masked intruders with guns grab a popular influencer
by the hair demanding money.
Three guys came into my room, turned all the lights on, and then they had the gun pointed
at me.
I'm going to get a gun!
While most parasocial relations-
That was us parasocial, they were trying to rob her, right?
And ships don't reach this level, there's always a possibility that it can.
Very popular Twitch streamers face a terrifying.
Sorry, this is off topic.
Do you sell autographs anywhere?
My girlfriend's birthday is next month.
She's a huge fan.
Marcus, it is crazy deviation from what we're talking about.
But I don't sell autographs anywhere, no.
But you could just forge it, bro.
My autograph's pretty shit.
It's just a few squiggles.
So if you want, maybe just fucking forge it.
I'll follow up the lie.
I got you.
If you just tell me your girlfriend's name,
if she's in chat, I'll just be like,
Oh my god, I did sign that.
1000%.
But also at Fast 53, I'll be selling signed Pokemon cards for charity.
So maybe that's also a thing?
An encounter while live streaming along the Santa Monica Pier.
Oh, you're right now, welcome.
If the streamer leans too far one way, they might come across as uninterested or cold,
but lean too far the other and viewers can mistake an occasional reply for friendship.
friendship.
Please stop following me.
It's getting weird.
It's getting strange.
I don't know you.
Okay.
So please leave me alone.
That's where things can take a turn for the worst because now that attention can turn
into expectation.
And when the expectation of a response to the next chat isn't met, it can feel less
like being ignored by a streamer and more like a betrayal by someone that they thought
they knew.
Dude, I fucking get both sides because I used to be obsessed with Super Smash Brothers
melee and like the whole community. And I like watched all the streams and the commentators
and all that. And I went to EVO, which is like a huge fighting game tournament. And
after a lot of the players went to go gamble and I would wanted to like hang out with them.
So I just, I'm a viewer, like they don't know who the fuck I am. I went and like sat down
and gambled with them and like, you know, try to make conversation or whatever. And I
remember once I was at a table with Oscar who was gambling aka Lovage and he was he was just playing
and we were sitting and I was chatting and I'm all excited because I'm a huge man and then he's like
can I go to the I gotta go to the bathroom and I'm like no worries and then I sat there waiting
for him to come back from the bathroom and then I realized when like after like 10 minutes he brought
his chips to the bathroom was he honest you know and then after 30 minutes I was like oh he's not
coming back, I was being way too forward or you know, maybe the more harsh analysis is like
creepy. I was being like a little pushy here and hanging out. He was trying to chill with his friends,
which I get. And then that was like, I remember being like, I don't know, I must have been like
19. I was like, that was like, but it's like a reality check because I was like, Oh, duh, we're not
But I also think, and I think that part of it's talked out a lot about, and I talked
about it in everyone's, like, I'm not your friend, me, but you know what people don't
talk about is like, I think streamers can be as parasocial as viewers like some streamers
bro they're like, genuinely obsessed like, like reading their discord talking to viewers
in their offline chat like telling their offline chat shit they don't even tell like their
best friends or significant others or like family, you know, like, like way, way, way,
way, way deeper in it. And like, like to the point where I think like if they were to lose it,
or it were to be jeopardized, like that relationship with their viewers, like it would,
they would be like, crazy stressed out. Like it's, and it's like a lot of streamers are like this.
A lot of streamers are like this. And I think are too close to their viewers in a way that's
It's like, because their viewers are also fickle, you know what I mean, like they might
be gone, whatever.
It's like, I think in the long run, not good for them.
But thank you to Proudshah and I appreciate it.
I love you.
Sorry, sorry.
But yeah, I think that's like something that doesn't get talked about a lot is how like,
you know, obsessed the streamers can be.
A weird parasocial relationship that forms and you'd not even aware that this person
was forming that typically until they're like about to show up or they do show up.
The gap is hard to manage, which is why mo-
Classic bro.
Fucking classic dude.
I should bring back the mid part dude.
Streamers keep a barrier up around the heady personal stuff.
My sister's dead.
Let's try and keep it positive.
Please don't talk about shit out of my chat, please.
But it's kind of a funnier block.
My sister's dead. Yeah, let's keep it positive, y'all.
Let's keep it positive.
Let's take it to a lot like a lot of family members, y'all.
This is something I just don't like to hear or talk about, you know.
And you can't really blame them.
At the end of the day,
streamers are supposed to entertain.
At some point, there has to be a balance.
Poggybabs, y'all.
People watching and becoming responsible for everything that they bring to the chat.
They become too attached to you,
where they see you as an actual friend that they have.
So I feel like that is kind of a boundary that you have to set as a streamer.
But it's hard to gauge where that line is.
Joe had every reason to draw that same boundary.
He'd answered the heavy messages, taking conversations off stream
and learn what could happen when things become too parasocial.
The first two times I helped somebody with like old issues.
They just kept messaging me and then they like got upset when I stopped messaging them.
So it's it's more stuff that issue.
But mental health meant too much to him.
Ignoring somebody who might not make it through the night was never a choice he could live with.
After those early mistakes, Joe implemented two important factors that would eliminate those
odd parasocial dynamics from coming into the picture. For starters, he removed any one-on-one
interaction. All conversations with chatters were strictly held on-stream from the Twitch chat.
And second, but most importantly, he made the pivot from trying to be the help himself and became the middleman.
Fine, if you're depressed and you want to come to me for advice, but when it comes to the gravity of seeking an expert is better than seeking Joe Bartolozzi, a Twitch streamer tech talker, you know what I mean?
For those who came into the chat looking for help, Joe was there to give them a few encouraging words and push them in the right direction.
I've had not so good thoughts, if you know what I mean, and listening to your advice and others has helped me even during those hard times.
If you ever have thoughts, reach out to somebody genuinely go to a therapist psychiatrist talk to somebody that can help you.
Not the answer.
Like there's there's only so much I'm able to do as a creator, especially seeing that I don't know the person.
So that's why I try to do the charity streams for like, you know, 988 or
AFSP Joe does a lot of good philanthropy events.
I think he's like one of the better streamers.
maybe actually one of the better, like newer streamers at doing philanthropy.
Projects. We're doing reactions today. And it's a charity spree. We raised $2,700 which was matched
free apps by the Melinda Pill Gates Foundation. So a double chat for that goes to a good cause
saving lives. And for a while this worked pretty well. While it seems kind of small,
Joe's brief but encouraging words were actually making a difference in people's lives.
It's up for a year now, and I want to say thank you for helping me through this past year with having to deal with my grandpa
And my own personal problems. You're definitely my favorite top streamer, and I hope you never stop
But by the time Joe graduated college things had started to change his viewer
Can't climb to some of the highest and all of streaming and managing the expectation of that many chatters is a totally different beast
Like right now I average 10k
Joe I'm just more than that. I think Joe's like
Right now is like one of the biggest shimmers in the world. I think
I think he's like literally at the peak he's ever been.
I see Joe like 15 to 20 gay.
That's horrible.
Yeah, like, yeah.
I gotta lock in.
I want to get into the videos.
I'm starting to get stressed up.
I can tell this was going to happen at the start of stream when I got like nine messages
just unloaded onto me.
With as many viewers watching, Joe found himself caught between two groups that wanted completely
different things from him.
Because on one hand, some viewers felt that he wasn't doing enough to help.
I guess even my favorite streamer doesn't care about me.
Lame, comment.
I have 5,000 people in my stream that are spamming right now.
I'm also playing a video game.
And then I don't respond to you and you pull this guilt trip here.
But on the other hand, there was a totally different...
Yeah, dude, chat does change.
I'll say chat is way more fun to interact with
from like a hundred viewers to like,
maybe a cap side of like 5,000 viewers.
obviously depends but there is a point that it hits where it's like man this
chat is just more of a pain in the ass and I think like it it's also worse
when it's growing how about us I think it's fine because like I have averaged
the amount of viewers I have average and obviously it's fluctuated but like for
fucking
Five years, you know what I mean?
So it's like but it's it's the growing pains are tough so when like when I initially went from like 1,000 or like 10,000 that was tough
Because it's like a bunch of people who don't understand the vibe, but I don't think it's that bad here because like I
Feel like there's so many people who have been here for like actually fucking six years
Like big Gucci D
So it's like when people are og or some shit it they set the tone
Then when someone's like brand new and then when someone's brand new they're like the odd one out
You know what I mean? So they they have to like
They have to catch up quick
Squeaks is Chad is the best
Squeaks is good
But like bro, so like if you're a squeaks viewer, you know that chat was like like one of the worst chats in all the land
You know during like GTA
Role-playing like it has said like Jesus Christ the chat fucking sucks a lot of the time
They can be great
But like there's a hundred percent periods where they suck
And it's usually while they're growing
Group of viewers that were tired of the stream console stopping Jesus dude
I like watching your streams, but when you go on grants like this, that's all you do all the time
That's annoying play the game. Do me a favor and never watch me again. Do me a favor and go f*** yourself
No matter what Joe bar is probably the king of getting one God. I
Think he's probably the best at it. Yo, what up with all the members? Hey Blake. How you doing?
Been a minute. How you doing at keys?
Someone felt ignored and the messages were starting to get more demanding early on people would briefly mention that they were
Struggling and Joe would offer a few words of encouragement now they wanted more. I don't get one guy that much
It's been getting more and more and more and more like
Involved where people are genuinely asking me to fix your plan to one guy saying I get one guy. I don't get one guy
I can't
I'm sorry, but the hardest part was figuring out who genuinely needed help and who was only looking for attention
How do you balance keeping everybody happy and then also?
Sorting through people who are just given for attention.
I mean, after the struggle, because I'm a suicide prevention advocate,
that is an avenue that a lot of people use to manipulate their way into being noticed.
We're speaking to me on stream.
And so, yeah, if there's 10 chats saying they're suicidal, six of them are fake.
Because I do so much mental health advocacy, the amount of people that come into my chat
and fake things was absurd. I had one shatter that came in and they say hey I'm the mother of so and so
he took his own life I just wanted to let you know you were his favorite streamer. I'm sorry
that he took his his life. I don't really know what to say. I'm sorry. I hope you're all right.
I'm sorry for the loss of your son. Come to find out they come back a month later and they're like
My brother typed that band is locked in you're the chatter. I knew that bro. I'm banning you man. That dude. That's crazy
That is weird that is very weird
Yeah, that's strange
But I think
When you're in a big chat
You're just saying some shit sometimes to get noticed and I don't think you think of the repercussions of when you actually get noticed
That's like half of all in band forms
If someone who said some out-of-pocket shit, and they're like, oh wow
Yeah, this was out-of-pocket, but I didn't think I would be punished for that a pocket shit cuz you know, I
There was just one message. I didn't know what it was. It's a bad thing
This leaves Joe stuck making a decision that's difficult to get right if I'm being honest
I think a large
What the hell
What the hell just happened
What happened to Joe boss
Large portion of people that come into my chat and
and that's been weird as sh-
This leaves Joe stuck making a decision
that's difficult to get right.
If I'm being honest,
I think a large portion of people that come into my chat
and say stuff that's title are lying,
but I have to treat them all as if they're real
because then I could on an off chance
not take somebody seriously that is serious.
And that's the worst thing you could do.
Ignoring the wrong message could have serious consequences,
but responding to every message was impossible.
and the pressure of trying was beginning to wear him down.
I feel bad and I've talked about this.
It's like, I wish I could help,
but like sometimes I can't, you know?
Like there's only so much I'm able to do as a creator,
especially seeing that I don't know the person.
But there's one message that weighs on Joe the most.
It's one that he's hurt over and over again,
that for some viewers,
he's the only reason that they're still alive.
Joe Bartolosi saved my life,
I'm so fucking serious. I only stopped from killing myself once because he had a reaction coming up saved me from ending my own life
More than anyone should I've realized so much because of you. I can't thank you enough
You unknowingly have helped me with a lot
My life has gotten about a lot better since watching you from your philosophy stuff
Never had a favorite sugar tie watch your streams and it kind of saved my life. No pressure
I wanted myself you saved my life. I did not save your life
You saved your own life
Please get the help you need though if I'm the only reason that you stopped
You know wanting to kill yourself in that moment you need a lot of help outside of just watching my content
I've had a few messages like that over the year
And I feel like my response is similar to Joe's where like usually it's like trying to get the person to recognize like hey
You saved your own life or like hey you got yourself out of the hard time
And then like maybe I was like a vehicle in which to do it or like you know a distraction during that period
Well, like the distraction could have been fucking Boruto. You know what I mean? Like it could have been whatever, you know
just happened to be me or maybe Joe or whatever it is.
So I feel like it's important for people to recognize
like the service that they've done for themselves.
Probably not Boruto on hindsight.
It probably wouldn't it probably wouldn't be Boruto.
Yeah, you're right.
Yeah, I probably wouldn't be more.
Yeah, you're right.
It might be a YouTube compilation of Boruto with the moments
that feature the characters from Naruto or Shippuden,
but probably not bored.
Yeah, that's fair.
When you hear some of the stories,
How big of a toad is that take on you?
Cause like, I don't know, I've been watching through some of their clips, talking to people like this.
I'll have a chat, is asking, who is checking on Joe?
I, um, I mean, I'm starting therapy soon.
I'm not saying it's bad to have my videos as like something to fall back on to make you feel happier.
Versus like, I'm s*** at all your videos are the only thing that's keeping me alive.
Take a second and think about what that actually means for the person receiving it.
Somebody just told you that your uploads are load-bearing for their existence.
Don't tell me that. Like, I'm glad I'm able to help them, but like, get help!
Like, get help! Please!
So, what happens if you take a break? What happens if you burn out and quit?
On some level, Joe now feels like he has to keep posting.
Because somewhere out there, somebody's hanging on by his streaming schedule.
There'll be people that will like, come to my chat and they're like,
hey, you prevented me from killing myself because I saw one of your videos and it made me laugh.
On surface level, that's great. If you're me, now I'm going,
oh, if I stop posting, people are gonna start killing themselves.
And beyond the pressure, there's the sheer exposure to darkness.
Joe's DMs in chat are a constant stream of people's lowest moments.
And when you're surrounded by that much pain for that long, it eventually starts to get in.
That's like the one thing is the emotional drain, I guess. Like, I put, um,
Um, a lot out after every stream, Joe sits there for an hour, just coming back down from
what the job took out of him.
Like when I'm done stream, I get off.
I literally sit there and like silence for maybe an hour.
Is rude to tell someone to get help?
I don't think it is.
I think this is like the exact right circumstance to do that.
I think it would be like, I would almost argue to be inappropriate otherwise.
If just someone said to Joe, hey, I've been suicidal and he said, all right, man,
I got you. Let's just lock in on this fall guy's stream.
Sit down and enjoy the show, bro. I got you, man. And I'll be live tomorrow.
Make sure to check out. I'm probably going to be playing some Rocket League, bro.
Stick around for that. That would be inappropriate.
But I think Joe seeing that and replying hey man you should get some like professional help is the right
I don't I don't even know how to be close to rude
Are you gay how about you go outside and do content Red Bull plant?
Thanks for the follow-up. I appreciate that.
I need like time to decompress just because that is a lot at times. It takes a toll and I've gotten
used to it but it kind of builds like they're I'll be good for a month and then there'll be a week
where I'm just like not not there emotionally I guess and that's like a problem so the obvious
This question is, why keep doing it?
Every other streamer proved you can just let the messages scroll and the career survives.
Joe could put up the full wall tomorrow and nobody could really blame him.
I'm not sitting here acting like I'm sub-role model, but if people are going through stuff
and I recognize that they're watching my content to help them, then I want them to have some
sort of guidance of redirection to be better themselves and also better their own mental
health in a way that's good for them.
Joe did the math and decided helping people is worth what it costs him.
I enjoy making people happy more than the other aspects of the job.
And that's what enables me to deal with this shit too.
Like a lot of people are like, oh, push through the negative because you make money.
I think I push through the negative because I can affect people more positively here than
any other job that I could possibly be doing.
But once he saw what his platform could do for people at their lowest, walking away from
that stopped being an option he could live with.
Thank you.
was diagnosed with cancer about nine months ago.
Sorry to hear that.
We will watch your videos and streams.
We loved your philosophy streams.
She also majored in philosophy.
Really?
A week ago, I found out she has two.
Two more days to live.
One of the final things we did was watch
one of your YouTube videos.
Your videos remind me of good memories.
She passed away yesterday and you helped me cope.
Just wanted to say thank you so much.
You help more than you'll ever know.
Oh my God.
That's just gonna make me cry
It's a weird job dude, it's a weird job in social media. There's a lot of shit, but
It's one of the most like rewarding
Experiences just to be able to be someone to help other people is something that I want to do
Yeah, the money's good. Yeah, it's fun to play video games and shit
But like on a deeper level dude being able to
make people's days is like
Genuinely what I want to do and I'm glad that I can oh
It's over W Joe this hard-ended
Go you Joe good guy Joe. Thank you Marcus. I appreciate it
Ross will 100 cents on your card. I fucking hope he does bro. Shout out Ross real shit
Yeah, I think Joe's a great guy I got to meet Joe in person and
and hang out with him a good bit at streamer games.
And he comes off quite authentic.
I also think he, I told him this, I was like, you know,
I think he's resonated with people in like such a profound way.
Like in a way I truly never have.
Like I think I've resonated with people which not to the extent that Joe does bro.
It's okay to ask someone if they feel suicidal if you come to them with respect in openness.
They feel seen.
Yeah, you know what I do think in general when people are going through hard times other
Other people get nervous about not wanting to bother them or disturb them, but almost
any time.
That's the time to talk to someone in life.
It's like when they're going through a tough time, because that happened a lot actually
with people in our life.
Like when Swift passed away, a lot of people reach out to me and they're like, hey, I wasn't
sure if I should reach out to cutie and then like I every time I was like dude it's like
the literal best time to do so and like she'll make the call whether she like feels comfortable
replying or reading it or whatever but like this is literally like the time for French
it's like literally it.
is it is when things are rough but I understand the anxiety about like reaching out and I
think anyone going through a rough time like remembers like the people who reached out and
like you know we're like being thoughtful in those moments like I think that kind of
shit sticks with you. I was like, okay, she was going rough. Like who was there? I do
think it's very possible that the messages can be overwhelming, but then I think it's
also like, it doesn't mean you shouldn't send it. Like I think they would just put don't
You don't know what I'm saying, like that's, and that's okay.
I've watched the new Minecraft world record, yeah.
I reached out to my friend who was, I thought was gonna kill themselves and it ended up saving their life.
Dude, that's fucking beautiful.
Oh my god, what if we do group activity and everybody, I mean, you don't have to reach out to your friend who you think is gonna kill himself.
That is probably more of a risk situation, but what if everyone we do reach out to a friend a today?
All right, everyone reach out to a friend a
Guys it's time. I'm gonna do it right now. I'm actively doing it
Okay, I did it reach out to a random friend a I've done it
success
this feels forced
Um, yeah, who cares I don't think it's less appreciated
This family count yeah, absolutely bro, it's weird I didn't get a message you from you ha ha super
Super, you wanna play volleyball? I'm doing a volleyball tournament end of this year.
Can you react to the Minecraft ARG called Kaidigeisai? It is covered by lemon and lime.
It scared me to death. Wait, are you being a Minecraft ARG? And I'm just gonna clarify
scared you to death. You watched this Minecraft ARG and were scared to death.
You know I was talking shit but then I saw the thumbnail. My god that's scary.
You may have watched all the famous Minecraft ARGs but you definitely haven't seen this one.
The channel is called Sadies and what they post is truly terrifying. The first video they posted
It was a month ago and it starts like this.
The video begins with Apatite.
Ew.
I can't watch it today.
I have to participate in a tournament in 44 minutes.
Oh, I bought my foods here.
I wanna watch somebody.
We watched LilyPichu in Overwatch.
Although I'm gonna pull over stream right now.
I think we're playing against LilyPichu
and MarvelToken today.
too late, I'm so trying one less hit, okay.
Um, no, the four hours.
Can you?
I'm doing right now.
It's the total tournament this.
But everyone should be roughly on the same page
because the game just came out today.
This needs to be bottom left.
And this needs to be...
Top right.
Sorry, one second.
I have to put these disclosure things.
Yeah, that seems right.
Okay, and then...
Do you want to stand still and let it go?
I'm sure I can.
Um...
What?
What do you want?
Did you play?
Did you grind?
Did you practice?
I'm freaking out!
Um, and then what else do I need?
I think that's it.
Okay.
okay all right why is the 2m not connecting let me try to figure this out
oh wait it worked what did I do what did I do there that was different bash a
bit more
I need it. I just want like one B&B for this tournament because I don't have time to learn
anything else. Okay, I think I'm processing the wrong thing. Every time you see I dash
shop and relaunch okay this this this this this no I keep spiking her my
assist is too early so I wait a little bit after she spikes right I love it
chat I don't have your chat open sorry but hope you're doing well wait you
You guys want to- I got a sugar.
I made a little voice.
A comic.
That's him.
He's gonna be in the next side quest, comic dub.
I made him voice.
It made him in that Chinese game he was in.
I actually couldn't watch that, because it was like an empathy cringe, you know, like-
And then I saw someone's like, this is a crazy idol animation and it's just him doing this and having that look on it, even that smug thing he does with his face. I don't know, it's very smug though.
Why?
I'm excited for game on too. I'm probably going to play Overwatch when she comes out
on season launches. I saw the roadmap, it said Monday, so maybe Monday. I should be
back from Montreal by then. Bro I need a compilation of every Chinese
lot I would need.
So, who's on the China Vlog?
I still see them every day.
Oh, fuck.
I need that Paris make Paris agreement hat again.
I found it online.
I'm going to cop.
It is one of the funniest hats that I own.
What do I watch while I eat?
I need a good YouTube video.
Dude, I've been watching so much gambling content.
I actually need to stop.
Oh, there's this video about tag grading scam.
It was like somebody who resubmitted cards to tag.
Today, we are putting TAG Grading's biggest claims to the test.
I cracked out seven cards from different grading card companies to see what those cards would
grade at TAG.
But on top of that, I cracked all seven cards again, sent them back through TAG because
I wanted to test their consistency.
This video cost me hundreds of dollars and months of time to do.
So if you enjoy it, please hit the like button and subscribe to the channel for notifications
for future videos.
Before we jump into the results of the test, first, I'd like to review and discuss some
of the claims made by one of the investors and biggest social media online advocates for.
I feel like people always talk about tags like they're the ones that are consistent. So this
video is interesting to me. I don't understand how talking works. Does the chat room normally cost
money? I don't understand bits and cheers. Peter Roboto, thank you for the $10 or the thousand
bits. You just type Peter. Oh, Peter, you're okay. Bro, you're not following.
So you can't type because you're not following. And then after you follow, you have to wait like
five minutes and then you can type. But you can forego. This is true. You can forego the period
that streamers make you wait to type by spending money because you can you can donate bits instantly.
I'm sure some people are look at Coro Coro's video about Logan Paul, but I haven't seen
that one.
What the hell is Coro Coro?
Are you just talking about this video?
I'm not trying to watch a Logan Paul video, no disrespect.
Today we are putting TAG Grading's biggest claims to the test.
I cracked out 7 cards from different grading card companies to finally got my TAG sub back.
So let's crack this open and see what grades our cards got.
So our Lugia VSAR Gold card is back from TAG and this was originally a PS8.
Let's take a look and see what TAG graded it.
All right, it got a TAG 8, so this one's...
Okay, my theory was that when I did my video, TAG was the most consistent because TAG has
this like, you know, card scanning feature and this QR code that you can use to see exactly
why they gave it an 8.
And theoretically, you would think like, if they scan the same card again, they would
get the same results because they show you the exact reasons why I caught that
grade. So I'm kind of curious how how it does when he regrades them pretty bang
on with PSA standards for this particular card and its issue and if I
remember correctly the right corny nice day is that Courtney for sure games
lightning orb yep you can still see that on the card down to with tag on the
Lugia Vsar gold card let's see if it stayed a tag eight or if it has changed
in grade. Let's check it out. Here we go. Tag 7. Interesting. So we went down a full number grade.
Let's hop into the dig reports and see why the grade changed from 8 to a 7. Let's take a look at
the two dig reports for the Lugia VSar Gold card side by side. Okay. And see if we can figure out
why the card went down from a tag 8 to a tag 7 and whether or not the dig report has any changes
That can illustrate that reason why so on the left you can see here
This is the card that was graded on four seven and on the right
This is the card that was graded on six thirteen. It's the same car just graded at two different times
So we already know that this card has an issue
It's got a dent on the back of the card next to the lightning orb
So it looks like there is one ding here surface scratches
That is the scratch next to the yeah or that we saw when we took a look at the car
No, no show show on the side of a bowl obviously should have been caught by the dig report and it doesn't look like anything else
That's the major ding. Let's see is centering one
It got a thousand on eyes. It seemed like it was fair
Zero dings. Oh, wow. Yeah, only got one ding one surface thing and then the center is pretty good 52 48
Really decent 52 48 52 48 53 47 so it was a tiny little bit off center
But not crazy and that looks to be the only thing that gave this card an eight
So let's take a look the one that was graded on 613 that got the seven and see if there's anything else
That was pointed out in this dig report as to why the card got a full number of grade
Decrease the second time through notable dings. Okay, corny thing the five gifted
Watch the Cades video next stream. It's so good. Yeah, I might not probably tomorrow, but maybe Saturday in scratch caught the scratch at second time
That's good. No other dings to report
Okay, look at the centering and see if there was a major difference in the centering the centering's the exact same. Oh
Wow
No, technically they got the centering on the back different by one 48 53 47
So the slightest little bit of difference on back centering
So the only thing caught by both the dig reports that would have made a major difference in the grade is this thing on the back
And yet the card got two fully different grades not a half grade a full one grade decrease
Despite the dig report finding the exact same issue both times with no additional issues our squirtle are okay. That's kind of confusing
I guess it's kind of reassuring that they marked it the exact same right?
They didn't like spot anything new, but I don't know how they came to the conclusion.
Don't they usually like have an overall grade?
Where was the overall?
Don't they usually have like an overall grade on it?
It's on the card itself.
No.
And grades is back in scores hidden.
I feel like you need to show the score because you can see the score.
No, this card got a CDC eight.
Let's see what it got with TAG.
It got a TAG 9, so it upgraded one full grade.
And remember, the things that we had seen were some scratches here on the left hand side of Squirtle
and some fraying, I believe, on the bottom edge cut.
Round two on the Squirtle, Art Rare from 151.
Back to back nine.
This is one of the cars that we actually saw an increase from CGC to TAG.
Maybe we get another increase or we get a consistent nine to nine.
Let's go.
It's a TAG 10.
What?
how okay we already know that there are some pretty significant scratches on
the front of this car let's see what difference is if any something was caught
if something was missed what happened between the nine and the ten let's take
a look at the squirtle art rares dig reports side by side we have the card
that was created on four seven it's kind of frustrating that he did this video
without showing the tag score I feel like this video is made a lot worse by
I just not having that number.
We have the card that was graded on 613.
The first one got a nine,
and then we got an increase to a gem mint 10.
Let's take a look at centering first.
We took a look at centering before we got 50.
I guess I could go to the URL and do it, can I?
51, 49, that's really close.
52, 48, 59, 51, 57, 43.
So there was, that is a big discrepancy
in the back centering for the left to be 57
and the right to be 43.
I don't see a major difference.
And on these cards, it's so difficult
to tell whether or not the back centering
is significantly off.
It does look like potentially the left
is a little bit smaller than the right maybe.
Is that what we're saying here?
No, we're saying that the left
is significantly larger than the right.
I don't know, that seems very weird to me.
25 top, 75 bottom?
What?
This is insane. 25 top 75 point. That means the huh?
All right, something that's just completely off
with this centering on the left here.
That is wildly crazy.
You would expect it to be.
Also, if it had those numbers, it would not be a 10.
In the 50s and 40s, if it was, I mean, 25, 75,
this, the bottom centering would be like,
way up here if that was the case.
That's wild, okay.
How do you get zero service completely off?
crazy. Let's let's see if there are anything. Apparently that is we have a top left surface
ink defect. Okay, so it's pointing out this there's little white dots here. Yeah, you can see it.
You can see that was not pointed out on this dig report. And then it does have surface scratches
view middle left. So if we take a look where the scratches exactly where I showed in the picture.
So, the scratches are actually shown on this one, whereas on this report, there were no dings, apart from back centering.
And back and uh, Peg gave this card a 10.
The issues that we've already gone over.
Let's take a look and see if Tag was able to spot the same problems.
Oh no.
Uh, Peg gave this card a 10.
He's already gone over.
Let's-
We got our Mew Gold Ultra card from Pokemon 151 back.
and let's see what tag gave it. PSA gave this a 6 for the issues that we've already gone over.
Dude, a 6 to a 10 is crazy.
Let's take a look and see if tag was able to spot the same problems.
Oh no. Uh, tag gave this card a 10. A gem meant 10. That is a four number grade increase from our PSA
to a tag 10. So the big reason why this got a six was some crazy
dentage that was happening with the almost the entire card itself. There
was some major damage on the card that was not just normal warping because
normal warping is a consistent warp all the way across. Dude this getting a ten is
insane. It just creases dense anything like that. This was not. Let's take a look.
Here we go. A five. This one. A PSA six. To a tag ten. To a tag five. All for this.
You should have taken your 10 and ran bro
You should have taken that 10 and fucking ran with it. Oh my god
Same card with the same damage crazy one of the wildest roller coasters that I've personally seen so far
That's a great differences. This started as a PSA 6 it got a tag 10 sent back into tag
It got a 5 so on the left here. We have graded 4 7 20 25 on the right here. We have graded 6 22
Let's go down and see if we can see anything straight off the back.
So we should see a difference in left to right because the left to right centering is obviously
pretty off.
The right side is significantly thicker than the left.
So hopefully we will at least see a centering.
Originally got a 7.5 with CGC, isn't that little dent that we saw on the back?
Let's see what it got with TAG.
Another 10 on cards that have surface issues.
This issue's dents seem to be slipping by,
especially the lesser noticeable, I guess.
I mean, it's noticeable to the human eye,
but I don't know what's happening with these scans.
That's a low grade with CGC, you know, 75.
So we've seen a PSA6 go to a 10
and a CGC75 upgrade to a 10 with TAG.
So both companies coming down hard on surface
and TAG potentially not noticing it at all.
Down two on the Magikarp Art Rare from TAG.
It was a TAG 10.
Let's see if it stays a TAG 10.
Remember, there is a dent on the back.
It's gonna go down.
He's caught the second time through,
or if it stays a 10.
Let's check it out.
Okay, a tag nine.
Okay, so it did go down a little bit,
but not substantial.
10, it didn't get a pristine 10.
It was able to give a card
that got one of the highest craves in the hobby,
a BGS pristine 10.
All right, it got a gem made 10.
It didn't get a pristine 10.
I'm not even really sure if you can get a pristine 10
without a bottom.
If the grade will go down for some reason.
Let's check it out.
What did we get? Round two with tag? Oh, we did get pristine.
It'll be interesting to hop into the dig report on this one and see if something was caught here that was.
Wow. Okay. So all gratings a scam. None of the companies are fucking good at their jobs.
I feel like if you just have a good enough card, you just send the card back in like five times.
Like if it looks good and it's like a $10,000 card if it's a 10 like just give it you fuck
it you can take it three shots
Streamer you when like two weeks ago three weeks ago, maybe it's it's over though bro
Alright, let's play some abtap.
the Magic the Gathering stream? I don't know if I'm a Magic the Gathering guy.
Tabas closed you can to Hollywood, California. That's easy.
Oh, wait, never mind. I can't go further than this.
Uh, oh, it's right here. So this is the Los Angeles, right? Wait, where is this?
I'm pretty sure this is Los Angeles. Fuck, is it?

Kyoto is higher oh fuck maybe this is it oh shit so in tip-to-tip we started in
Kyushu we drove on this bridge we wait no how the fuck did we get here we took a
fairy over here. Then we drove through here. Then we took a fairy over to Osaka. So this
should be Osaka and this should be Kyoto, I think. Nailed it. Nailed it. Next stop,
riding your own Atlas. Okay, two for two. Tap as close as you can to the Dover straight
England. Oh, that one's hard. I don't know that. I know Dover. Cliffs of Dover is on the coast of England.

I was kind of in the country of Iraq, but on the wrong side.
All right, uh, Tapipo Parak, Malaysia.
Uh, okay, Malaysia, so this is Singapore right here, right?
So this is Malaysia, but this is also Malaysia, I think.
I'm just gonna go here okay not bad not bad not bad I'm cool I guess I don't know
what specifically parake is oh final score 936 oh that's not bad that's not
bad
All right, let's play half and half let's play cuddle cut this shape perfectly in half
I want to say like right there is right
Maybe the 8 on the right is thicker than the 2 on the left, but the 2 so big that feels kind of good.
I could also do something like this maybe.
You know what I mean? And then now I'm kind of like, like kind of getting equal.
That's not bad.
That doesn't feel bad at all.
47.53, that's not bad.
That's not bad.
It's not great, but it's not bad.
Cut it in half.
Hmm the watermelon with a bite through it. I feel like I can just eyeball it like that's
half right there I
Think I think I can just I think I just have to trust my like raw instinct here
Like I can tell right
There is half oh
God that was bad
anything worse than 45 is like actually inting idiot lovely for some reason
right here feels right but I guess the better strategy to do this
Oh my god, I'm fucking good at my job.

But no shit becomes boring because you've seen so much of it that they're like, okay, well, what else is there, you know
So when people watch like shit where it's like kill out first. It's normal, right?
Then it's like milk
Then it's like gilf
Then it'll be like hardcore. You know what I mean?
And then it'll be a fucking little
45 BBC gang bang. Yeah, well fucking like bukkake combo. I'm like, you know, it's like deep look
Welcome.
And, uh, Kirikou, I'm just gonna welcome you. Thank you.
Thanks for going to the Shimmer Games. Hope you had fun. Let's go, Budwig.
But yeah, the Shimmer Games were a ton of fun, bro.
Thank you again for having me. I appreciate the invite.
Yeah, no worries, dude. No worries, bro.
I'm happy to do it, bro. Yes.
I feel like the test is titles is always like
Hitting challenger in like four days and then four days later. It's like didn't hit challenger
Fuck and then it's like it's like five days locking in for real
Please drop a naked
I'm sorry, do you need one?
Yeah, I'm actually...
I'm showing, I'm showing, I'm showing
Okay
Got you there, got you there, come on
One TB, TB
Watch out, okay
Double take one
I don't know if I landed that much
Flash mid
I'm actually so stressed about playing CS2 again
One flash!
Oh, let's get past.
Growl!
I haven't been so long.
Nice.
Maybe not.
Get him, Dave!
Oh my god.
I'm gonna be so ass, bro.
I'm genuinely gonna be so bad.
to go against Maximilian dude in Marvel token today. Yeah, we're going to do the Godgamer
gauntlet again chat. I've just been busy bro. It's going to happen though. It's just unfortunate
because I had streamer you streamer games like and now we have the lies of P marathon
next week and then the CS2 marathon.
It's not like I've been lazy dude, I've just been freaking busy.
What the hell?
So you know what's happening?
My Japan, my Kyoto, my anime, Balanchat Kanin.
Doug, Doug Doug O is doing some random ass shit, no?
This big walk scale, its difficulty to the amount of people in the lobby.
like we had to find like four fruits and then five fruits is it a four fruits and
five fruits if you're in a lobby of two or is it less
it scales up to four okay
Okay. Okay, not up here. This is the way to go. Are they updated on peak literally later this week?
Hey, what is the next tip to tip gonna be next year?
Probably like it's usually at the same time every year. It's not like I'm, you know,
changing the time a lot. What's happening in the synod phone?
That's real so it's all breaking. I know what was fucking scared
We're good
Leak the country, I don't even know the country yet. I'm like 80% locked on one
But I'm not gonna leak it dude. That'd be kind of boring. I'll reveal it in due time
It's China, but this time we're going from north to south.
Oh, hold up now.
Now we're cooking.
Now we have an idea.
Nice mountain spring water 24 pack every bottle 23.7 fluid ounces with the spray cap
Interesting
The spray cap changes things it's a nicer bottle
So it's kind of like a knockoff of the Poland Springs because I feel like Poland Springs always has the spray tip
24 pack 24 pack
Less than a dollar or water no questions asked
The question is how much more is it than a regular 24 pack of water because like a regular 24 pack of water I
might think
Is like 33 cents a bottle maybe $8
Maybe less
Maybe 25 cents a bottle like $6 I would say six to $8 is a good range for normal water
water. But I feel like this is going to be higher. $0.50 a bottle put us at $11.99. I
also have to think this is 24 fluid ounces, not 16 fluid ounces. So I think it's the Sport
cap 700 milliliters I think it's gonna be closer to 50 cents a bottle I don't
hate 50 cents a bottle it might even be more than that I think I'm gonna go
1199 I'm fucking high I talked myself into it I thought I was literally sitting
I'm going 25 to 33 25 to 33 and then I talked myself in the 50 fucking let's
Let's just- let's just- let's just do 899.
Oh, fucking. Should have done it from the start.
Should have done it from the start. We said 25 cents a bottle. It was 25 cents a bottle.
Here I'm sitting 50 cents a fucking bottle. Like how much is a goddamn sports cap, Ludwig?
I'm talking about a sports cap like it comes with keys to a Lamborghini car.
God. Damn it.
And we're opening up a Pokemon pack for that.
Pitch black. We are chasing the full art, Darkrai.
We're hoping to get a car that can afford us 24 bottles of water with the sports cap
on.
The best card you can get is Mega Dark Ride, followed by Morpeko, followed by Mega Dark
Ride, the gold one, followed by Full Art Slowbro.
But honestly, if there's any card I want here, it's the Full Art Goldine.
Give me the Full Art Goldene.
I'm gonna guess.
Straight up it's uh, electric fighting.
Oh, wait!
This is the fourth best card in the fucking, or one of the best cards in the deck.
This is I'm not even playing with you the full-art slow bro is worth 19 bucks. What a poll
What a juicy poll
I need a damn sleeve
Wait, I'm actually on a tear right now.
Because this card is also kind of a good pull.
This card's also a good pull.
This card's kind of a bass.
That's right though.
This card's also kind of a bass.
And then this is my best card.
Wait, good polls. I feel like I've gone through all the best cards. Can you follow my stream
and watch my stream I'm live right now freefall art no offense bro I feel like
your stream is probably like pretty ass if what you're doing on stream currently
is watching my stream you know what I'm saying
not not to say that like you're a bad streamer it's just like if your main
thing that you're doing on your stream is watching my stream it didn't we just do
that you got me there you guys got me there
Who gives a shit those psychic?
OOOH!
Fuck all y'all.
Reverse foil, monetric, followed by hollow sentus scorch.
Ah.
That's a that's a
As short for ass is a
Bro I have your stream up while I grind the age cobblemond the your rage cobblemond you
just flame the fuck out of me
me. Bro. How are you doing in it? See what? I saw somebody steal a gym badge in it. That's
the only clip I've seen from it. Like you're sure. Thanks. My sister got it for me. Next
card coming up. New Wee Fee's video. I know I can't watch it right now because I have
a Marvel token tournament a bit. I'm gonna guess it's um, crass. The Litwix fire. Look
at this goldine art. I want the full art goldine. That's my one that I want. Reverse
Reversed foil, char cadets, reverse foil primate, energy, dude, this is genuinely how like 90%
of Pink Floyd songs start.
Hey, I'm a cameraman currently sending out my application to a few different streamers
And I'm wondering what you would recommend to get a good partnership.
Sitting on my application.
I don't know.
I feel like shares are too lazy to read an application.
You know what I'm saying?
How would somebody hire a cameraman?
That's a good question though.
I'm going to guess metal.
Nailed it again.
I feel like a cameraman would be a hard job to show your value before doing it.
Reverse foil, electric reverse foil, seeking, come on, holding more Pico EX, it looks kind
cool.
What set are we opening?
It's the brand new pitch black set from Pokemon.
What makes a valuable cameraman?
living near the area of the streamer that they would work with and then just being on
call and then having some like some proof of like having done the job before.
I'm going to guess water fire.
Oh, I like that.
Whoa.
I already have that one, that's a dupe.
What up, Yingo?
Don't mind me, just opening some Pokemon cards.
Pitch black?
The new one.
Where'd we get it again?
a fan sent in as a thought a sorry oh yeah yeah that makes sense
next give it exit strategy if you decide to stop streaming tomorrow what do you
mean an exit strategy. I would just stop streaming exit strategy. I don't really know what that
means.
What is this?
Is that ice or dark?
That's dark.
Duh.
That's dark.
In terms of your employees, well, I probably wouldn't start or stop
streaming overnight because I think it'd be a little hard for everyone.
Hold up.
Shout shielding.
Corridan.
Whoa.
Mega chandelure EX.
Hold up.
Is that a pole?
Wait wait, that's actually a fucking oh, it's not the full art
The full arts a crazy pole this one is worth
Two dollars I
Got bended uh what do we got to do?
Is it the HDMI should be plugged in okay?
Okay, then it would just need to,
I need to swap the monitor here.
I'm using the, that one.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's our plan.
But it's plugged into the, obviously though.
is it can we get an infinite in it though is it plugged into the position this oh yeah
Oh
My uh, I'm trying to get it on piece PS5 Jack because I think the game works better there
Oh, oh, I just switched to PS5 mode
Oh, no, don't tell me I have to play pad.
Don't tell me, Ingo.
Okay, hell yeah.
I'll be Nick V, I guess, or should I be you?
He's got a Playstation network.
No flame, no flame, no flame, no flame, no flame, no flame.
Oh, you're paid enough to get Playstation, it's awesome.
Uh, and then I need to put in the code.
Uh, where do you submit code?
I
Got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. It's 24 gigs, bro
24 gigs is small. I guess it is kind of small for a PS5 game
And it works and it works big up big up yingling
Two minutes left to download. Oh my god, beautiful
All right, we're ready for the tournament
Thank you, bro
We have I have to it's gonna take a hundred seven seconds in the meantime we'll open one pack chat we're playing we're playing a oh
Wait, you probably need to play GTA 6 on console when it comes out right chat is that crazy
It's like gonna play so poorly on PC when it first comes out I
I want to play through all GTA stories before it comes out, but I don't know if I'll have
time because it comes out kind of soon.
I hope they delay it.
Well, I don't actually have the delay, but it would be convenient for me.
Oh, fuck.
I saw they announced today that they are going to reveal gameplay for GTA 6 on Netflix, which
I thought was funny.
And then one hour later, they're doing on YouTube, like Netflix genuinely wrote Netflix
stock price finally crashed.
It was so it's such an overvalued fucking company.
And then you look at the content they have on Netflix and you're like, hold up, it's
all dog shit, it's all fucking ass actual dog shit filth.
Why is it valued this highly?
I will say Netflix games are low-key fire.
I am a huge fan of boggle on Netflix games.
Not a hashtag ad.
Give me the goldeens, give me the goldeens.
Golding, golding.
Golden golden. Oh wait. Wait. Wait. Did I get it? Hold the phone.
Mega Dark Rye.
It's the Mega Dark Rye full art from Pitch Black.
It's worth 13 dollars.
It's not the other Mega Dark Rye EX.
So in this set, there are four Mega Dark Rye EX full arts.
And this one is worth 13.
Sorry, there's five technically.
But they have one that's $270 on a lot of ones beautiful to I mean, this is pretty cool.
I like the slow bar better though.
Can you hear the game?
It's not playing any noise right now.
in here now.
PlayStation.
Oh no, it's gonna do the GTS thing.
Ah, chat to catch up to speed, I'm doing a Marvel Tocon tournament.
It is an 8 person tournament, double elimination.
This tournament features, I'm gonna go through all the names.
Myself, Maximillian dude, SiU VTuber, LilyPichu, RDCGaming, BoxBox, DotaDoya, or DotaDoya,
and Kraken.
And we're in it.
Our goal?
Not getting dead last.
Am I clicking something wrong?
What am I clicking? Why does it keep making me go back to the...
Am I hitting back or something?
Are you clicking X? Yeah!
Bro!
Oh, fuck.
Oh, Jesus.
Hi upslash down
Chinese Zen Zen t-Chinese
Don't restart again. Oh my god, I work
TTS off. Subtitles on. Voice language English. Chinese.
The game has an auto safe feature, that's fine.
Welcome, Fighting Souls!
Marvel!
Oh, God!
Wait, so I'm in a Marvel token tournament with RDC, but the way it works is that they
get to put forward any member of RDC every round.
So round one they're putting up mark, but they can put up whoever they want.
That is so funny.
I've never heard of that.
I'm basically in a 1v fucking, like, 7, dude.
Can I tag in Nick England?
I think I know how to play it.
I'm quite confident. I've done the tutorial twice now.
All right, we're not playing for a little bit, so we can practice for a minute.
Is Joe Bart going to be in the dodgeball competition? What are you talking about?
Have you seen the esports streamer of the year?
The only streamer of the year contest that I recognize is the streamer awards and I stand
on that.
Turn off HDR.
I don't know how to do that.
Wait, why is it so dark for you guys?
Well, you're right, it's so dark.
The PS5 itself has this thing called HDR.
gender
How do I
Oh, maybe the
Where would I find this, perchance?
I found it.
Settings, screen and video, video outputs, resolution.
Let's go 2160p.
120 Hertz, I love it. Adjust HDR off. My screen is black.
this better? Oh that's way better! Oh that's so much better. Oh is Jobar gonna be the volleyball
tournament if he's free and down? Yeah why the freak not. Uh I just want to practice.
I want to play the battle guide.
Oh, dude, I'm stressed.
I actually, I don't know what the hell just happened.
I instantly just got crazy stressed out.
So the game came out today, so no one should be too good at the game.
I think I've played it more than everyone else, or at least a good amount more.
I don't Kinkura.
All right, so you go...
What the fuck?
wait...
wait, wait wait, wait...
I want to learn how to like...
tag
Oh god, wait, moving wake up.
Is there a way to just go next lesson?
I would love to just go next lesson.
Oh this is it, this is it, this is what I need.
No, no, I did the tutorial twice, I mean the deeper mechanics that don't really get covered.
So I go, I go check this out, is there anything I'm gonna do, I'm gonna boom?
Wait, but I summon too many people.
I wanna keep playing!
Just go to training.
I don't know who I'm going to play as. I think...
Oh fuck...
I like the idea of the Incredible Hulk.
I don't like his costume.
Magic for sure.
I do like magic.
Let's try the Hulk.
I like Blade.
Who was the guy who was shooting the gun who was cheesing?
get get rid now for today's main event
okay
all right no more penny I don't know I'm not locked on this yet
Okay
So I can do quarter circle forward, give me fireball, and I can do three different speeds.
So light, medium, heavy.
Then I can do down, down.
Wait, why doesn't that work?
The heavy's kinda good here.
How do I do it?
Okay, I see it.
I see it, I see it, I see it.
So I can...
This is the special button, but if I press special and heavy, it does this.
Why is it not going fast anymore?
And then I can do this.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I get it, I get it.
And then that circle back.
And that wall smashes, okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, this is my level three ult.
Okay, I get this, I get this, I get this, I get this.
Okay, and then what about my assists?
This is my back assist.
Okay, like a targeting sort of thing.
This is my front assist with Hulk.
And this is my down assist.
It is my anti-air.
Okay, okay.
Okay, I kinda get it.
I kinda get it.
Alright, let's take out Hulk.
So I have like Sonic Boom Clap.
Then I have a Dash.
That's kinda nice.
And then I have whatever the fuck that is.
rock smash okay okay and then what about dr. doom laser oh interesting so this
is laser this is anti-air laser and then this is all directions laser
Okay, interesting. Press R1. Wait, what was that? What was that? What was that? Wait,
What is it on my girl?
Magic.
What the fuck?
What does it work?
I'm off? What do you mean I'm off? I don't even know how to fucking play yet!
Oh, shit.
Oh, god.
Oh, God, I have to poop and I have to pee and I have to like I'm a little sad.
I've like sadness in my heart.
I don't think I'm ready to play.
God, I'm nervous. I'm genuine. No rooms found. What?
Oh, what?
Oh, I spelled it wrong.
I genuinely have to take a dump, I'm not even fronting, I have to take one so bad.
Oh god.
Oh my god, okay.
Oh my god, I'm so nervous.
Okay, that's fine.
I genuinely would think such a big dump.
Oh my god, okay, that's fine.
We've got a high profile in the orange corner, let's go magic!
I'm just gonna zone, I'm just zoning, I'm just zoning when they come at me, I'm fucking
spamming. Wait why isn't it working? Why isn't my area working?
Oh
My god
What the hell is this all about?
Well, chill!
HOT!
Hey!
You gotta learn!
In fighting games!
If it does it, stop working!
You don't stop doing!
Welcome to the FGC, bro!
My job is not to play cool, your job is to learn!
And today it's gonna be the hard way!
What the fuck? What the hell just happened?
My area is better than yours!
what wait I'm actually a fucking chud
I can just play the game. I don't have to play like a fucking shot. I can just play the game.
Oh my god, oh my god
The most happening
Bro!
My audio is delayed by like four seconds.
Oh my god.
What is happening?
Oh my god, I'm getting perfected in my favorite game.
Marvel Tilt gone.
Alright, GG.
What can I do?
Okay, I have to fix this, it's just so tilting.
This is so tilting, my audio is delayed by like genuinely 15 seconds.
But I don't know how to get the audio to not be delayed.
I think I have to plug my headphones directly into the PlayStation maybe.
Uh, the 4K makes it look bad on console?
Yeah.
I'll address it right now.
All right, I have to take a crazy dump. I got to go. I got to take a crazy dump. I'm done fucking fooling around with that
He's also been using Akatag in neutral and to like tag out stuff as well, which has been cool to see.
So I'm happy that we're seeing him mess with the system mechanics and stuff like that.
In the very first betas, and also in the decision betas, people sort of like made adjustments to it.
And an offensive crossover counter to get that round right there.
I like that maximum to know the mechanics right it's not just defensive you can also use these things to keep it going
So as soon as his turn ended inside you try to get some more mix back on their side
They'd watch one move immediately crossover kept the turn
It's all we're all the some of the left side of the screen the beam is going down
Think there was a 10th it either makes or combo extension with the beam
I know do you know some pretty wild stuff for me. I went for the double electricity into the mirror
I think the mirror is gonna hit yeah
Oh no, it hits again and conversion into the ray gun
Oh, please don't lie you, you're still in this
Yeah, I can't, how's it hit?
We'll see if there's anything, anything else
All the carnage, into the confirmed, falling carnage
And then active tag on the hit into the confirmed
Looks very confusing
Yeah, that didn't lead too much, it got the kill right away
That is a solid shoe that connects to wearer mechanics, right?
The fact that assists in this game, when they hit,
it immediately allows you to tag into them to get conversions.
And if you're sort of like an option select that or confirm it,
like using your assist as an extension of your own point character,
that's definitely something that's going to be developed by players
as you get stronger and stronger with this game.
So otherwise, you can't act a tag to your assist for a longer period of time, right?
You're not rewarded with that option
unless you specifically snipe the point character your point opponent with your assist.
So that's going to be the big difference in factor, I think, of the higher levels of play here.
How can you call a assist to cover different ranges on the screen,
and how can you convert from them either with the point character falling behind it,
or by active tagging into them on it to get a combo pick up?
Yeah, exactly. And, you know, something cool that people may know about Sayu is Sayu is a vtuber,
But also, the Flush Tuber version of Sayu is the voice actor for Deadpool in another game that you guys may know about.
So that's, I think, probably why Sayu is here, if I had to guess, and also playing Deadpool, who's Nolan North in this game.
But, yeah, I mean, I've, you know, we're all familiar with Marvel IPs here. I've played a lot of Rivals, and Deadpool is very, very cool in that game as well.
So, cool to see the shared love of the character across the genre.
That's awesome to see I mean yeah, these are iconic characters
Reference in a lot of different games media and now you can play them all in Marvel token fighting souls for before action here
And beat the crap out of each other what more can you ask for right?
That's what we have to apply to get your form and like you always just wanted to add your favorite characters in the game
See what they can do and we got them all right here. So it's a it's a big day for
For fighting advance and Marvel fans everywhere. It's also a big day for Kraken here, man
Yeah, and I mean dead for these these players here
I was gonna say Deadpool is a character that I think literally everybody it's hard
You want to be mad at him, but he's just so cool. It's hard not to like him and in this game he is so
I think he's awesome in this game
I he's one of those characters that is so cool that I want to play him even if I'm not gonna play him
You know what I mean?
Like I need to know how to play him just because you need it on your resume to know how to play a character like that
We're back around here. It's gonna be interesting to see here. So this is our I think the end of our eight players
We're right we're wrapped right back around back to the start so Maximilian
I'll be in strike in here and after this we'll get back to this front and see how things are looking and scrapping
This is red Wolverine
I think it's the color you get by the way for beating the file
mistaken you get
Color unlocked in this game. So this is probably pretty important for everybody yourself included when you win 10 casual matches
You unlock color six to the entire roster
So that's one thing and then you also unlock colors by beating
and also by doing the combat, the combat files will unlock for you um the color, this color for a lot of characters
there's a bunch of different ways to unlock colors, each character has a few colors
the fights were low
i genuinely take a crazy dump
the first strike, he had the grab, he got the wall break, he assembled his team
which was definitely really critical for you know reducing the health pool, having more options
but it was all Wolverine from that point forward.
I feel like Max is also...
He might just be swapping characters just to get more screens on whatever character you want to be on.
I think it's a cruise control, just...
I don't think there's a matchup specific to reason.
Yeah, and it is good.
Like, that's the thing that makes this cool,
is that swapping between your characters is ideal.
Like, it makes your combos better,
gives you better mixups,
gives you more control over everything.
I'm getting those like, really, what is this game?
What's going on?
walking around and doing cool stuff with your hold on it.
It really makes it feel like it's not there.
What is, what am I looking at?
An excellent tag for awareness and conversion.
Again, yeah, this is just.
But how is that open?
Oh, I see.
Okay, I gotta do this.
Does the PlayStation not even have a headphone jack straight up?
That's crazy, you know.
On the controller.
Oh my God, yeah.
Wait, there is one.
Oh my God, that's awesome.
And now you guys can't hear it.
Fuck.
Um, okay.
Is there a way?
I can split it.
Well, now it's just gone.
Now I can't hear anything.
But maybe this work.
OK, so that works.
OK.
I think if I go to Control Panel.
OK, this could maybe work.
I just I have to my brain is actually fried right now.
So I have to output the sound through my monitor, I think.
Because right now I'm hearing the audio
after it's gone through the capture card, which is like crazy delayed.
I'm hearing the streams.
Like when you guys here, that's too late.
So, I need to enable the monitors, but how do I get the monitor to make noise?
Oh, my monitor doesn't do audio.
Is that it?
Oh, dang it.
I don't get how I would listen to the audio because it's delayed.
But this isn't delayed, but why was it delayed?
It was so delayed earlier.
Put this...
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
I can't tell if it's delayed.
It fucked up mid-match, we could hear the delay too.
Right?
Okay, wait, it wasn't just me.
Go to settings, sound,
Okay, I want to play magic.
I'm okay with the Hulk.
I don't like Blade, I don't mind Doom, and then let's go Penny Parker.
See that's not delayed at all.
Wow, what an assist.
Whoa.
It's kinda cool.
Okay, okay, yeah, it does seem fine now
All right, what is my ult here?
I want to find out what everyone's special move is, but yeah, that's the portal
Okay, I think I get it, I think I get it, I think I get it.
Is there a bracket?
Um, I lost my first match.
I don't know how it works.
I think it might be a round robin of all players, maybe.
I don't know.
Spodman, think the five gets it, bro.
winner stays? It's king of the hill but you get kicked after three matches. Oh. So it's
a lot of waiting bro just let me play mark that's all I care about I want to
put mark down and that's the only match that I care about winning
I think so, um, that was the easiest way to do it, I think.
NOT THE COMMIT!
Oh, that is bad. That is so low.
You just touched the guy in the head, that's what I'm saying.
I didn't.
No.
That is the...
No.
Fudge.
That is strong.
That was actually so close.
He almost got around that.
The wall break even makes for a chance at life
Max feels you know, that's one of those things that's like it's good today
Universal super it's good. It's gonna be good day 1000 year year five
You know, it's always gonna be good sometimes when you're in trouble. You got it to say listen man
Max has been doing this for about three decades at this point. So I can't believe I lost my match. I'm so mad
I got this I can do this
Wait, who's Lily playing it's possible I can do this
Can I start is she playing Maximilian dude? Oh
Gee fucking gee having a five minute outbreak. Oh, she's going up against Leland. Oh
Yeah, let me put the music on now
I can't put the music up?
Options?
Anti-air?
I feel like there's no time to really anti-
oof, I don't know I feel like I just have to block more last time I just died cuz I didn't block right?
2H.
What's Lily's main fighting game again?
It's the same in every game.
Touko, right?
I block.
We use lights.

Got it.
I'm not sure what to do with this one, but I'm not sure what to do with this one, but
One day, say okay.
How's the math, Tangy?
Oh, that was a good one!
Dotto got to play some matches after some shit.
That'd be cool.
It was on purpose, I mean, yeah.
Did Max is gonna destroy me?
It genuinely gets my hands shaking.
At every tournament I've gone through in real life, it's happened as well.
I actually...
I wish I could be cool, common, collected.
But even when I know...
Alright, we got four minutes. Maybe I just play a game real quick.
We've got a
I don't know what the hell am I doing.
Nice switch.
Helen Keller would piece you
Just watch wait, why are they
But why does it, it's like weird in the game it doesn't work anymore, like my shit doesn't
work
Oh
Well how the fuck did she work
I
Know
Late work I don't understand I can't do my damn projectiles, bro
I don't need meter for projectiles bro
Oh, it's Tilted.
Are you doing the EX?
Wait, yeah, I am.
Oh!
What meter?
Where's- oh, my meter at the bottom!
Where's oh my beater at the bottom? Oh
That's not bad I didn't realize it
I'm going to get marble token in my favorite game.
What the fuck is the point of ever tagging in?
It just makes me fucking vulnerable.
If you want to fight me
So Mark's on the right Lily's on the left

My next opponent is Doto.
Oh, damn it.
That is tough.
That is very, very tough.
Bro, 3 bars, I'm not playing this.
It's gonna be an FF unless you can get 4 bars, I'm just saying, like, straight up.
The next matchup in the challenge of the champion tournament is...
Let's go!
I
Hey you can't beat Dodo that's impossible I'm a fucking gamer!
Oh, still going?
How's this combo still going?
Okay, um, what the fuck do I get to play?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
The
Got my round.
I got my round.
I can't be mad.
They all said it was impossible, I got one.
No, no, no, maybe some of the other players, but even then, you got around in Dodadoia and
it looked pretty solid.
Not bad, yeah, I would say.
That was pretty effective.
And Max was like pretty far away too, so Dodadoia, you know, he's not going to be fighting
against Max.
He's fighting against two different players in the meantime, so there's a chance, you
depending on how many new people to get wins on the board in a lot of these
different places and see how this all tooks out so exciting to see
some one wins up there for like a bunch. So how does this tournament work did we just
did as do this for three hours
and then whoever has the most wins wins
classic marvel battle hulk versus the wolverine
go to Doya and Max and Millie it's funny it's round wabin one wabin
it's funny that
like unless i'm reading it wrong
won't if it's the same order every time won't the same people just get it be
getting their asses beaten by Dodo doya
it's a lot of people milling at you and mash so i just i just blocked the top two winners
will fight so it's just kind of a like we're all low-key trying our best but
Dodo doya is gonna fight max milling dude yeah i'd be curious to see because i
I think basically everybody so far between their matches has been like let me start to try to learn
I don't know. Such a pleasure player, bro.
Love it. Get out.
We gon' see you soon.
Maybe take some look to you.
That's actually what I'm doing right now.
the
all right so the the order is lily's gonna be a next right
it was not time I believe is that the
I gotta be a bear back I'll be a bear back
guns over here
that would have been a time to try a faster option unfortunately for Sayu
You
I love that just get the wall flat
I want to keep trying
Team assemble cover me and we're going in
Team combo here. It's the knockdown. Oh
I'd pull to finish them off. What do you got? This is your character
It's fun. It's a fun game.
It's still smashing, taking it in again. Tackle's in, calls the assist, gets the pick up on it, still doesn't want it just to go as well as Super.
He's so good. What can you do with it, Star? It's so good.
Super I love how sequins Dota Dota is right he gets the wall break you get a little bit of advantage there when you break the wall and
Uses that to just tackle then cover by assist
So you don't have time to breathe after and then straight to the full combo conversion. This is just like
Great week one sort of game. This is what you're looking for
Cruise control throw a lot of matches if you're at this level that don't go to it is that right now
So he's gonna be a huge problem for these players because it's all just coming together and a really really clean flow for him right now
Yeah, and I don't I don't know who's gonna slow the whole town
That's so far everybody seems to have a lot of problems dealing with them and don't know
I just look more and more comfortable
He's got some new combos and stuff that we didn't see him before and he knows how to dump his meter
He knows how to use the sys like he's just really comfortable. I think with like all these different parts of the game
Yeah, even just knowing how to use all your meter is definitely a big part, right?
Like you have all of these super meters that allow you to do your different versions of your moves the heavy versions
We spend meter and have enhanced properties could be used for mix ups
A lot of them end up giving you overhead options or combo extender options
Then you have all your different supers your ultimates, right?
So
Knowing how to actually cash out when you get the hit is super important
And that's something that you have to learn the time and so he gets the hit and he understands how to route the combo
So he can spend all the resources where a lot of other players right now
They're getting ahead and they there's so much potential to just throw meter at the opponent and do way more damage
But they're they're not quite there yet. Not quite where the routing
Every time you get hit use one heavy move one of the X news and one of them
because you're always going to break it to the wall and you're always going to build resources
during the combo and build back more than you spend on any x so like i think that's kind of how
everyone should be thinking about your combos because it's just optimal to like spend you know
you build so many resources in the game for example when you wall break you're going to take a look
at his meter and like just see how much you get on a wall break you gain hundreds of meter and you
you gain one of your assist hits back, right? So, you know, there's so much
reason. It's like right here, right? You kick through the wall, you break it, land,
and then whole kids like a chunk of bar vibrate. And when your assist hits, you also get a ton of bar.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, so like you got half the meter back, and then you spend on doing that.
That's some good information to know, right, if you're coming from other fighting games.
Sometimes you might be incentivized to 4 meter, but I'm definitely seeing even for myself here.
I hope I hit big block.
Spend the meter to get the advantage of the situation, break the walls of the back.
He's just walking menacingly.
Nice block there.
Yeah, they're in Pog's in the scan too, where you can do the damage on all those.
They cost 25, and then end up like meter neutral.
Like, you spent, you know, 15 meter on the X-move,
Momboy said, and then you don't actually lose any meter.
So, it's like really advantageous.
He jumps a lot, he doesn't jump a lot, yeah.
I feel like everyone jumps a lot in the screen.
Any wrong screen, yeah.
Nice floor tech out of the corner for Kraken there, right?
But it's not, like, blocky on-
I believe it, Kraken!
Ooh, what is that? What is that?
What tackle is that? That was crazy.
There was Iron Man behind it.
Oh, man.
There was coverage there. There was layers, right?
Even if you block that, it probably wouldn't be crazy.
Okay, so I block lights, 2H, people in there.
Got it.
The cool thing, too, is that, like, you know,
This Iron Man 4 is a better 4 than the game, Mr. Gerusus, and we're seeing more and more and more of the Dota 2.
I would love to see some people like jump in or moving around and stuff, falling down.
Yeah, so you just like that Kraken calling the 4 of us from the car and end. I like that.
He was doing pretty good with that previously, using the assist for the news coverage.
I don't think he's getting any space, man. He doesn't know how to get this whole gob of him.
Oh man, I wouldn't know what to do.
I don't know what to do right here.
You see more comfortable playing that space neutral game with the assist, but you gotta
earn that space against the big, great man.
Can't use fast, that backpack was scary.
I can't operate how fast that the whole backpack was.
Yeah, the backpack, ooh, great, uh, takes you into the bottom.
The backpack from Hoke is so good.
Um, okay, so it's me now, right?
Okay, what is this third times the charm?
Third times the charm.
There's no way I lose three times in a row.
There's no way!
Let me see if we're good to start.
Not yet.
Okay.
Just okay.
Block.
Just gotta block.
Lights.
Block.
L plus A.
block lights, block L plus A, 2H for Anteir, um, yes, okay, I can do this, okay.
And you know what?
Even if you lose, it's okay, because it's not okay, it's not okay, I really want to win
one!
It's not okay, I kind of win one, please!
Oh, the box box is pretty good too.
I just got a block mark.
I just got a block.
Just block.
Attack too.
Okay, movements, lights.
Okay.
Okay, there's no way.
Just block.
Block their attacks.
Block.
This game is just blocking and finding your opening wherever it is.
And jump.
Jump assist.
That's good.
You know what?
I'm going to open with that.
Actually, no.
I'm not going to open with that.
Actually, oh god.
I don't think that's gonna work out.
Alright who is this Lily versus Boxbox.
Bro it's Lily just butt.
Long piss.
I lost my snack.
Dude I cannot find it any opening.
I can just hear that she's pressing too many buttons.
Like, there's just no, she's just mashing shit, right?
Like, there's no universe, all those buttons are valuable.
It sounds like Faker playing League of Legends.
She's better than you.
Well, she played RDC and lost,
and I played RDC in one, so.
I guess my question to you would be how is it pussy, but she's better than me
She plays loverless I play loverless
I feel like the main thing in this game is when someone's blocking mixing up overhead in a low
I feel like grab is not really like an option and at least at my level it's just like if
you can mix up a low or an overhead and they don't block it you just get dividends.
I think 50-50s are good yeah but more usually in a fighting game the 50-50 is grab or attack
and in this game I think it's like higher low
I feel like grab is pretty bad in this game, yeah
Name an overhead, I believe any dashing aerial medium or heavy is an uh, overhead
I'm pretty sure
Oh my god
Okay, maybe the next one though right surely the next one
Who's that is it me?
No
For sure like the next one. There's no way I lose like four times in a row. There's a zero eight zero way four
There's no way
Oh
Don't don't shout me out. It's fine. I have to play Max. No, I have to play Max.
I feel like playing Max or Dodo is an insta loss. It's like an insta loss, bro.
Those are technical things and
he's famous for playing. It's
so far and uh fourth game i think that can do this
yeah shadow marvel took on isn't loading the same mobile as lee in street fighter six and cd
Tyler bro, I'm better than any I've been I'm better
I'm not worried about any other fighting games that from Marvel token
Thank you very much your Marvel token for sponsoring the stream this out to play station
Lot more of as the game progresses like that's
I feel like he hasn't been leveraging as much as like the advanced tag mechanics
He's just showing like that classic tag sort of fundamentals with the assist
But the active tag is that final layer right this marvel took on fighting souls
You're swapping the soul right there
If you have that ability to have your sis on the screen and I like the gadgets a lot
I do want to use more but every time I use it
It's like super slow and I notice a lot of people just rush in and fast-swapping characters calling an assist
I don't know. I don't know what to do. I feel like I should only use it
I guess let's just warm up. Let's just just dead-ass warm up. I'll play some casuals
Cuz boxbox ain't even there
Warm up for the slaughter chill on me, bro
I beat mark from RDC bro
Yeah, play leveless
Oh god, what are you doing? I'm just pressing buttons waiting for a casual match.
Oh dude, I'm E.P.
I've had three today, but I'm good.
What the hell was that?
What was that big fucking spider that just came down from the ceiling, you know?
Wait, I thought it was Maximillian, dude.
I thought it was Maximillian, dude, am I crazy?
I
Can win this
I'll next match up
the
What the hell? How the heck is he doing all those combos?
Oh my god, how did I fall for that? That was so slow.
Bye bye!
Don't choke this.
Don't joke this, I just clutched it!
No, that's so cringe.
Well, how is he extending his combo this time, by the way?
I dunno. I might as well not even try.
So cringe!
I said so good that I knew this I should be shot dead. I should be shot dead in the street
No way
What
Bye-bye
I
Just outplayed what can I say?
That's the thing about a fighting game, bro. It's about outsmarting not out
Harding your opponents y'all
We are now at two wins we are in third place overall behind Maximilian dude in data
Oh
Now I explain Maximilian dude. Oh my gosh
You played cringe
And see that's the thing about fighting games and like like genuinely you will get there at some point bro
Fighting games is about playing to win right? There's no you know what I mean like if it works
Keep doing it. All right. And once you get out of silver, you start to realize that stuff, you know what I mean? Like
I like the playing cool. Okay, enjoy your zero wins, you know, hey, that's cool with me, you know
Anyway, I'm gonna lose to Maximilian dude in a second here. If you guys feel bad watching me
What?
I'm in.
Dude if I win this is so massive.
There's no universe I should be able to beat Maximilian, dude.
But imagine.
My chances of winning this are probably if I'm being honest with myself, less than five.
I would put them at four percent.
And we lost.
How is he able to block after that?
Bro, what is happening?
Max genuinely get a job, bro.
Bro!
Bro, I should play Dr. Doom, that was awesome.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's genuinely too hard.
Nice overhead, nice overhead, nice overhead.
on the board, on the freaking board.
No
No, I fucked it
I got around so I need
Okay, I gotta learn dr. Doom
uh pressures how do you lose some max that I that's just that's just bait you're just
baiting me you're genuinely baiting me how you lose some max a million dude like that's
That's the guy you would too lose to.
Alright.
At least you beat Mark.
You are bad at the game and or okay, what are we typing into it?
Alright, so hold up, hold up, hold up.
Upon Doctor Doom, I can do...
So I go boom...
That move is really good by the way.
So I go.
Kinda nice.
That's kind of nice.
Let's try it out.
How do I do the uh...
I go I go
So I can go...
I can be real nasty. I can be a real nasty nasty nasty guy.
I can zone crazy with Dr. Doon.
Oh, that's the wrong guy.
Oh, I don't have him aloft yet.
Oh
Did I hate grabbing on local it's actually probably the worst part of this game is you just can't do it
And then I can go.
No, that's not it.
Oh, I'm out of meter. I need 25 meters for that.
NICE!
Okay, focus.
RDC's beating Max, is it Leland?
Focus, on focus.
of
Oh
Ah
He's fucking dead.
Max 1?
That's crazy, Max 1.
Because I looked and he was up on the minute.
You want to rematch, bros?
Oh
That's
Nice!
Jenda!
Really!
I'm actually, I literally feel like I'm actually playing the game right now, it's crazy.
Fuck, that was bad.
Back to my bullshit.
Nice.
I can't believe...
Oh, Grav's just too hard for me to work.
Alright, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG, GG.
Stop grabbing.
I know it just feels like it should work and it never does.
Do you quarter circle or input?
I usually do special input, but it depends.
because sometimes you need to quarter circle.
GG, bro.
Like, for example, okay, here's what I'm doing. Here's what I've been doing lately.
So, all my cheese is based off of zoning.
So, when I shoot the laser, this is the automatic special button.
Right?
But but the the reason I need to be quarter circles if I do quarter circle medium it angles it downwards
And then the reason that's good is because I can do quarter circle down and then it like like the lag time between these is pretty minimal
And so I think it's good at like catching people off guard because usually when I'm in the air they run in
Yeah, I can also just press special, but I don't mind in the court for the circle
It does a thousand more damage like look this does 9,000 this says 8,000
This is my game plan look look look I go first I do this
That's the game plan right there and then and then when I'm feeling a little frisky I go I go
But I kind of need to change my order because I have Hulk second and I don't think Hulk should
be my second.
someone said try magneto out
what is that? why is it floating in the air?
wait, so if I go...
Wow, that's pretty fast.
Who's going to kill me?
Well, what does that move?
I mean, I think my plan is to just be a zoner this whole tournament.
Like, I'm not gonna learn to combo and assist correctly in time.
And my best chance of winning comes from crushing the nudes.
Like I should be able to beat every single person in this event with the exception of
Datto and Maximillian dude just by raw zoning and just secure third place
I'm currently in third place right now
You can also use the forward assists
Oh, yeah true. Yeah, I did play I did play
Um, Maximilian dude, I got one round off of him and that's oh, but yeah, ultimately got my butt beat
How is that fulfilling how is it fulfilling to win um, I
Mean I think it's the objective. I don't I think like this is the day the game came out. You know what I mean? So it's like
Normally I think it's fine to lose and get better, but this is a tournament, and I think
my goal is to play as high as I can in the tournament.
Oh, SCS missed the weekly upload?
Wait, who's weak was it?
Isn't it saunty's week what happened?
streaming a thing right now.
No, I'm not gonna kick anyone right now, chat.
I'll give it some time.
Uh, it looks like the tournament is still going by the way.
Uh, right now Max is playing, um,
Psy VTuber, Psyu VTuber who beat me earlier.
Size the V voice actor for Deadpool and Rivals.
Oh that's really cool.
Thank you Zeno king was taken for the gifted the link attack like without the
Extension with the other team members these you had advantage for like really little and you see max attack right into that
You need to get into the light
The doom god
Again
I think I'm off the machine now. Yeah
Think that's it for me who's up next I
Think up next is Datto and box box
Do the issues Datto is just too good
If I go up against Datto or Maximilian dude, I just kept my oh no, it's Kraken versus Lily. Wait, what?
I wonder how they come up with the order.
Oh, I see it's Kraken versus Lily and then Datto plays the winner, I think.
Or maybe they do it by people who haven't won yet or something.
It's Datto. Someone just came in earlier and said it was Datto.
That part.
I don't think Blade is very easy to use.
I would hesitate to say good because I'm sure that's too early to say whether a character
is good or bad.
But I feel like Blade is a harder character to work with.
But I think he's a cool character.
is not hard. I guess I struggle. I struggle with blade for sure. But I also struggle with
anyone that doesn't have a good projectile.
Alright, Lily Peaches going up against
Kraken
for a chance at her first win, she's down a round.
Fight back, bro.
Lily, fight back.
There we go.
She used meter for that, though.
There we go.
Love the projectiles.
Now, what's the follow-up?
Should have just gone into your level two.
Do your level two.
Do your level two and win.
Oh, you don't even need it.
There's a round.
And you got meter.
and you got meter you damn you damn near have full meter by the way that was a
really close range projectile or unique I guess is what they call it what a
weird assists. Oh, she did a down assist. Alright, now what's the follow-up? You can
get so much off this. You can get so much off this. Bro, you used your unique? Just
punch. Just punch, LeMau. Huge? You can win this. You can win this. You can win this.
You can win this. Use your ult. Use your ult. Use your super. Did she never use
super okay you I think you you can literally use your Marvel token I don't
I just don't understand I just could not understand less why you keep down
assistant and she just assists ma'ams she cannot oh yeah you're right you can't
talk on us this game point my bad good comes you need 150 everyone unlocked in
last round and then you couldn't talk on bro I don't think she's done one super
she's saving meter for next game I feel like I'm the only person who uses meter
am I oh there it is just raw
Okay panic assist every button get grabbed
Okay, use your use your meter in oh god you're dead you're gonna die to zoning you're gonna die to zoning bro
I'm sorry to say it. Yeah, you're gonna die to zoning
Yeah, that's tough.
Kraken hit you with his owner special.
What do you do if I try to air dash?
Oh my god.
This is just depressing.
I feel like she wasn't air dashing.
I feel like she was doing like the weird dash that you get to counter.
This is depressing.
A little bit more time to breathe to employ the strategy as well, but goes with the doom,
That's up the beam for coverage and understand what are the beams to grow and any time you
get a knockdown, you have to wait for your advantage state.
This sucks because this like go around.
It's just cooked for me because it's going to be box box or no, sorry, it's it's dotto.
Then it's box box.
Then it's me.
And then it's going to be RDC versus Sayu.
Wait, so if you win three in a row, are you removed from the rotation for a round?
Like why don't I see Max in there?
Oh, that makes sense.
Because otherwise it would literally just be Dato winning three games, then Max winning
three games, then Dato winning three games, then Max winning three games.
So you get to wait a while if you win three.
I could win three if I won against three people that weren't named Max or Dato.
By the way, do you see this shout out to Jaco and Mikan.
They made a website called Ludwig's schedule or I guess sorry, it's Ludwig's schedule.com.
Look at this.
This is cool.
And Eliana made some art for it.
Then it tells you my stream.

No, I mean, I'm not saying you you you guys are to blame. I'm just telling you it's not IRL
Then you tailor it and you have your branching pass to counter what they're doing
But Dota Doya has shown here if you can copy paste his game plan
You will have the templates to begin playing
I think we'll find out right now.
I don't have anything to talk about yet.
Are we sure she's wrong?
Yeah, I'm sure about it.

I'm just trying to figure out how to play with multiple characters or focus on one.
The assists are here to just allow Holt to get the damage and to get into the game range.
This is a really solid one character strategy that does always work.
Yeah, he wants all levels and he's spending, he's committing, spending his game on it.

Don't I look awesome British?
Hairdashing takes too much time. You need to have an actual meaty characters with projectiles things like that are very good at it
So we haven't gotten to that level of mind game yet. It's just been all like a freight train going
but someone who could do that.
Box, box.
So it's Albert.
If Albert wins, it's huge because then I get to play Albert.
I'm gonna expect him to jump.
I'm gonna anti-air off for it.
Wait Albert's actually winning
Albert does have pretty good combos
Oh, I don't assist
Yeah, you only have the one rose round one
Wait Albert can genuinely win you got countered that's fine
You're fine Albert you're still up
nice nice come on close it out Albert close it out use a projectile bro you all
end on a gosh darn anti air I like it overhead juicy combo nice assist follow up look at the
follow-up dude what a what a combo bro
aerial grab damn okay bad assist timing you kind of just took a lot of damage
there for nothing okay bad meter spend okay it might be cooked and look at the
assist follow-ups from Bata oh my god it's cooked wait what a grab oh you get
nothing I felt wrong grab gab full meter why do we have full meter a raw level
two into get owned by the be raw level two bro no come on Albert focus I don't
I don't think you got this, Albert. I won't lie.
You want to roll out of the corner?
That was just happening.
No!
GG, Albert.
never never never wait he can actually win still use your token combo
I
Gg no 3o 3o, but it was a close 3o
Damn it, I couldn't all right, so now I have to play which is a bummer for me
Oh gosh dang it's dude.
Uggggggggggggggggggghhh
Alright
Magneto!
Come on zone him out cringe him out. We're here to play cringe not cool cringe not cool
Oh
That's timing
Put an overhead
What timing! He rushes my ass down, I don't know how to deal with it.
What the hell was that?
What?
Oh my god.
What?
Oh my god
Oh, what is happening?
Just slowly walk up and grab, bro.
Nah, man, it's such a fun idea though to have Dots on Maximilian dude here.
It's actually such a treat to play with him both.
So honored.
Shout out, seriously.
Genuine pleasure.
GG GG GG, well played, well played, well played.
Alright, we have to wait seven more hours to play again.
Well played, well played, well played, well played, well played. Nice, nice, nice, nice, well played.
So now...
Our best chance.
So, I think this is what's going to happen, I think.
I think our next match is going to be against RDC, I think.
Or maybe it's going to be against the loser of RDC versus IUVTuber.
Because I think what happens is they play each other, Winter plays Lily, Winter plays
Maximilian dude. Maximilian dude will beat whoever he's going up against. He'll be
Kraken. I need to see the full screen. Max is right there, but I don't think we
play Max due to the format of the event is what I'm saying because I'm saying
what I think happens is Max will play the winner here, he'll play Kraken, he'll
play box box and then I play somebody new, which I don't think can be Dotto. I don't think.
So then I'll play whoever lost between RDC and Sayu VTuber. And then I think I play Dotto,
I think? It's Max. No, no, because Max can't play more than three games. Max has almost
as many wins. Oh, sorry. No, he does have as many wins as everybody else combined. I
I think Gato has more wins than everyone else combined.
I'm not second place under Max.
The way the tournament works is if you win three,
you're removed from the queue,
but Gato is second for sure.
I'm third, but it's not a very impressive fat feat.
Cause I'm third.
I have like the Spider-Man advance you.
With one more win than, you know, everyone else.
I got pretty high, there's Iron Man calling good.
Okay, we have Deadpool versus
Blade.
Wow, look at the movement there.
Yeah.
Well, you think him and Leland are like playing in the middle of it, they have hot, they do have the ability to do that.
That's a wall break.
Okay, yeah, Mark is super comfortable right now. Oh, assist with the
The
Chain to bring him down to the ground. Wow. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. We're seeing a
Mark should get a dub here
The other thing to do is that like he's doing your job of covering in the project
So he calls the assist and then he jumps and throws the blade steak and I teleport the blade in
So he's using that as an approach
I think it's a very good idea
Would you be first if Dato and Max weren't in it? No because we would play more games
The thing is like we all basically have to go through a cutscene of literally just getting our ass beat
And then we get to play like one in five, you know, I'm saying like one in five games are actually real
like everyone has to wait seven games to play and then like two out of the you
know four games they play are just in solos is so it's it's tough to say who
would actually win
well Dotto and Max even play each other in the current format I don't think so
I think it's impossible for them to play each other
Unless one of them loses
And you know what there we go. Oh, sorry never mind Mark's playing I first summer that thought Mark is playing Max
I think they play each other at the very end like top two they play each other. I'm pretty sure
But yeah for them to play each other early there need to be an upset
I think the format is fine. I just think that you know the skill level of max in Dota are just much higher than everyone else
Which makes it more difficult, but I you know it also helps show the game off better, so it's fine
But they just they they're just good we're just the rest of us are just like you know little newbies trying to figure out the game
Also shooter is just on the ground covers the whole adult space makes his jump in a lot safer prevents a get to a triple from stopping
His jumping Marvel token
Which characters are meta I have no idea I just play zone is
Mark can choke on assemble right now. Oh, he goes for the grab you can never go for the grab on wake up
Do you play during open beta? Yeah, I played during open beta for a bit like probably three hours
Magic seems good, but I don't know
Apparently Hulk is really good.
What determines the winner?
I think top two will play each other to determine the winner, but it's just time.
So I think we played till 9pm I think, so like an hour and 25 minutes still.
Oh I didn't know.
I thought you could toke on a symbol if somebody was on game point.
I didn't realize it was only if your opponent was on good point.
Dude, Marcus uses zero meter ever.
W zoning.
GG.
The jump heavy version of the machine gun has that 45 degree downward angle, right?
So mark got his second up
So mark could actually mark is actually gonna be second third place overall because he's probably gonna be lily
And then he'll lose some max
Yeah, see it sucks though
Oh my god
would help him out there before he's going to be standing, get the assists out there.
Got a little too predictable there and lost out on the zoning battle, but Mark looked
really good with all the options he had in this game. Dude, I just want to be positioned like
where Kraken is, you know what I'm saying? Like, if I'm positioned where Kraken is,
then I get to play box-box into, you know, Kraken into PSY VTuber. I feel like I can go 3-0 there.
I feel like I can go 3-0 there.
And then you can shoot the beam and then suddenly, very difficult for the other person to do stuff
back to you in terms of zoning that's the thing about doom is if you can set up can you practice
during this time yeah but i just literally crush everyone i play there's no point when you're low
on life and he provides all kills you it's it's very difficult to sort of establish first and get
going right right yeah he's more of like a technical like i don't want to say trap character i guess
it's true you would fight kraken and max's spot yeah you have to get a point it's a danged if you
do danged if you don't versus having out of the gate maybe the best fastest easiest use project
right so characters like that you might have to understand their patterns a bit
more to get the most out of them whereas you know big blade big buttons
machine gun shoot them yeah yeah blade obviously covers a lot of screen I mean
that's what makes blade he was such a popular pick in the beta as well he's
really cool but also he's really good he's good at like a lot of different
things as well doom is also one of the more popular characters and I think he
struggles more with characters that get in his face than donors right
typically for batteries so that's the other thing that you know people struggle with and they play doom is like them
So lily versus I really hope lily wins
Max is like playing spider-man or they are playing doom. He like couldn't figure out how he was supposed to hold space against spider-man just zipping over his head
Start
I'll get the gun.
I'm switching.
You going to the first?
Yeah.
Cause.
Sometimes I'll lose.
Stay on him.
We're killing.
Max vs Lillie, wait Lillie switch to Wolverine?
Or no, wait, Mark's for sure Wolverine.
It's cooked. Oh, there we go.
She's a little overzealous on the Ariel's bad grab.
GG GG
I'm all your lily
She's not gonna heal too much bro
Nice that was huge that's what she's such a sick opening for molly
Oh this opening is crazy
I can't believe it is a wall break by the way
Okay
She's blocked bro, she's dead as block
Okay, really late boomer reactions there
Oh
I don't understand why
There we go, there we go, there we go, there we go, I like that back throw.
No aerials here, no aerials, just block and attack.
A raw level 3 and it misses, what the heck was that?
I like the coverage with the assist.
She's head on chat, she's blocking.
I mean, I've seen her block a couple times,
but it feels like she never swings after blocking.
Level 2, level 2, level 2, use your level 2, use your level 2.
You cannot projectile, you're gonna die.
You said what?
Man, y'all said what?
You said what?
Man, y'all be quiet, let Wootleman get out there and work out.
I want y'all to let Wootleman get out there and work out.
Imma give me two.
No, Wootleman, don't give me two, bruh.
Imma give me two.
Let's go, let's go.
That's all.
Give me two, bruh.
Give me two.
Nah, I was listening to everything everybody was saying.
I don't want to praise.
I don't want it because I knew y'all don't treat me like that.
So like, ugh.
So frustrating.
Sub for Hulk. Purchase new, reoccurring or gifts absolutely while they're in Marvel
token fighting souls. And wait, you get the, oh my god, the Hulk badge. Do I have that?
Oh my god, I have the Hulk badge. I want the Hulk badge. Who's this guy?
So, we can act best.
Oh, we're actually in third place right now.
Oh snap.
We got the third most wins.
Second place, demons.
I gotta go for that.
We need we need be we need be backs right here. We got you
Dude, I should have beat Si you youtuber I could be 3 and 0 bro
Oh, they got Leland playing this one
It's like it's free it's free
It's like it's already
Same code same code
Leland almost beat max a last time
Yeah, I'm fourth place
But it's kind of silly to talk about anything that's not first and second because it's like eight wins
Like ten wins and then it's like three wins two wins one win
I'll talk to you that's for sure
I'm a problem.
No Satan, so y'all lost to Ludwig.
I'm a gamer, Jett.
Ludwig said you're sorry.
Ludwig's saying he a problem.
Loewe said you saw it.
How many words Loewe got?
We in thirds.
Two?
Oh, you got two.
You got two?
Yeah.
You got two?
Don't say it.
Hey, you know what?
Loewe said I'm a son.
Well, he's my son and chess player.
Ha ha ha ha.
I'm not even there.
Hey, everybody get one, Loewe.
He's going to be bringing up that chess game
for the rest of his life, bro.
It's going to be in 2055.
I'm going to be hearing about the chess game I played back
24
How many points second place have that
All right, he's using the level three or is that level two oh
Oh my god, Leland's nice, bro.
Leland's genuinely good at games.
He's trying to win.
Oh, that was so good.
That was nice.
How are they allowed to players?
I mean they got like Ben and Dylan in the call and he's only gonna fighting games
it's the only game matters to be good at. Dang, good launcher. It's Joer.
It's Joer.
I can do your shout out for it right now.
Yeah, that was nice, that was nice.
You can't tell what he's doing.
It is the biggest 3-0 in a handshake I've ever seen.
on the board let's go let's go let's go
got max is so nice bro
That's gonna be tough I feel like nobody ever uses meter am I crazy
I
So I like I don't have to play max I'm pretty sure which is great because I don't want want to play max you will spend
Max will play kraken and then box box and then I get one
Like breath of breathing room where I can go up against Sayu and then I have to play Dato
So Dato is going to be Lily and then RDC and then Kraken and then it's going to be me versus
Box Box.
And then I can go on a run because then it'll be me versus Box Box, me versus Lily and me
versus, no, I think after that, then Dato comes back, right?
the math is too hard for me. I think so. I think I get to play. No, Max comes back.
Yeah, Max comes back because Max disappears after box box. And then when does he come
back after boxbox goes again.
When do you play in three matches?
I'm trying to lock up third, but we'll see if it's possible.
We need you versus RDC.
I already played RDC.
I don't know if I'll get to play them again to be honest, but I won my match, which is
nice.
So far
Yeah, definitely any I haven't played really yet. Oh, no, I did actually screen time
Action on the it's kind of doing this game
You can give the rest of your team some EXP, you know, tag them in work on them a little bit
And then it's not working out so well tag them back out
Kind of a way to either way into playing multiple characters in a game like this
Exactly tagging a doom and this gives them an extension because he has like kind of a slow weird cap
so it's nice to be able to do the hit grab and then he gets a novel after you know the account for that
a couple lasers and the shield on the other side
oh i don't know if how intentional that air uh assemble counter really was but yeah definitely
nuts the option you want to use there with max on the ground
going for the duggle didn't get it but i do like the bean stuff we're saying for max i mean obviously
he loved him so I'm not surprised that uh he had the shield out so he didn't do the max
setting the meter didn't get to confirm that because he doesn't have another 25 to do
it's gonna be okay you all see this for my day this morning of fumi b
catching a whipping and it's great he's carnage with meta i don't think i'm
meta is formed yet i'll be honest that's pretty fun this will gameplay right if you're
paying attention to how max is attached in but it was laggy i guess maybe it will be a better
youtube video you did yeah bro i'm a freaking good professor i told my students if they want to
do this you might do this okay hold on row break what does craig can do with this advantage
Woo!
Okay, gets the 2H after the scramble there, air combo, life lead.
It gives them a pretty decent 2H combo to be honest.
Is this the fighting game of the year?
I think it's the fighting game of the millennium.
Shout out to MarkleMarvelTocon, fighting souls, available on PS5 and PC.
And thank you PlayStation for sponsoring the stream.
Doom, uh, routing, right? Like, you can go with basic combo conversions that are kind of generic across the cast, but once you learn your character's...
...beauty-cruise set, you can get any...
What about... What about what, dude?
I'm sticking to my guns here.
Yeah, I mean, Blade has been the back of us for a lot of us. We haven't seen a lot of Blade on point, but...
It's nice to see a little bit.
Is this game better than X-Game? This game's better than Water. This game's better than Air.
They're effectively takes the set over a kraken good stuff from cracking again, but yeah max looking too solid and
But I like the way he's showing all the different conversions, right?
Like I think the big takeaway is once you understand how to move around the newtch
How do you turn a hit into another hit max shows off a lot of those different variations?
To catch your opponent when they're whipping jumping and missing their moves
Find that one touch get the jump cancel out of it to get a condo pick up and then stabilize that some way
Those are the things we wouldn't be looking forward Max to do in these sets especially get the puns are like more scramble
Really good skill set to understand for mobile token
Yeah, especially because like thank you Ludwig
I'm buying this game for $69.99 because of you because you advertise it really well. Go Marvel. I love superheroes
Thanks, dude
Like this is I think the complicated part Max is doing the loop with the laser. They just we're going on a five minute break
Okay, they're icing me out.
I want to talk more about this thing, it looks like they're not playing each other, and just
by the last of the time, they're talking about Marlowe Toto.
The game's $59.99.
True.
I'm not talking about other games
for us, our lovely viewers would like to see as well
but we are done with this round of matches
we have one more round of matches for our event
so we're gonna take a little break and be back with our Marvel Tocon fighting
so it's a battle world tournament in just a little bit
alright I'll play some
practice matches on this just make sure you don't have any illusions to come up with
Lili needs a W go player, I mean it wouldn't, that wouldn't make, why would I, what's,
There's an implication here.
Dr. Doom.
Magneto.
Ghost Rider.
Oh, that's kind of cool.
How does anyone play Ghost Rider?
I did in the VEDA.
I played a bit of Ghost Rider.
He was cool.
I'm using Loverless.
The game is very easy to pick up because of the combo system and the special button.
Do I find the uppercut motion hard to do, like this?
No, I don't think it connects though.
I don't think it connects to the corner because I think the grab is a command grab and it
breaks through the corner, so maybe on the wall it doesn't?
Yeah, that works.
Sound of K'nagrab.
Oh, it breaks through the wall, I think, anyway.
Alright, let's do this.
I'm not bad.
What's this guy's crazy Jesus
Why doesn't that grab ever work ever in a billion years ever?
He's falling I can't pick up on him to sponsor
Dude why?
No way
Why do I fall so slowly sometimes?
What a good assist.
Like do I just have to slowly slide down the wall?
Oh my gosh.
Dude, a hop!
Yeah that guy's great.
This guy beats my ass.
This is kinda cute.
I'll rematch.
Dude, this guy is so good, it's actually insane.
He covers all of his fucking spots with assist.
Why does he get two assist by the way?
How are you so ready?
This guy's got legs.
This guy is better than me.
Flots blocks vs max.
Buddy, I'll give you the win.
That was all you.
I have no chance against Ugg.
match. Have you won a single game? I've won several. But that guy is just nasty. Wait,
boxbox could win. Wait, boxbox is up too?
Did I play boxbox yet? Well now I'm kind of scared to play boxbox.
Yeah, you beat him.
It'd be really good for me then if Boxbox wins, because then I could play Boxbox and
beat him, and then Sayu and beat him, and I could be up 2-0.
Oh, the raw ult is so badass.
Alright, game 5.
One's our next game, I'm literally up next.
Okay, well it turns out that box box is not about to win this, so GG.
I feel like Max just kind of plays around a bit, but if he really needs to lock in and get the dub, he can just lock in and get the dub.
Unless I'm off on that.
No!
So close.
One combo would kill, but I couldn't get the starter.
He got Marvel Tocons.
almost time game through the level 3 I can't use level 3 on round 3 I can only use in the
final round
all right so now I go up against Sayu I believe
Yeah, so this is a rematch of my very first match.
Eight, five. Oh, I can't say that loud.
of
We got this.
What?
What the hell was that?
the counter. Just gotta hit him with the old neutral. I don't understand that. I genuinely
I don't understand that at all
Good process
Wow, that was crazy
I
Play so great it's true. It's your idea
Oh my god.
Holy fuck.
you
Genuinely a unique experience.
That was great. Well played. That was awesome dude.
I can't even...
Perfect!
Concentrate!
Well played!
Nice!
Lock it on!
What?
It's getting too late!
Yeah!
You're on my side!
Come on, seriously!
Damn!
I...
I'm talking to you!
The fuck?
Leave it to me!
Okay, GG's man. Don't tell you're awesome. What a pleasure. Alright, we get to, uh,
wait seven games though
Well, we are now tied for third
So Dato is going to play Lily, Dato is going to play Mark, and then after that, oh my
Oh my god, I have to go up against Max.
Wow, GG.
Oh my god, dude, this is so cooked.
I
Got the only one wall. Well, I guess I'm stupid that is there unlucky
Yeah, it's funny how the stages definitely impact the game play in this game, right? There's variants
We've been playing
For three and a half hours Lily's out zero wins
Me, Lily, Kraken, Boxbox, and Mark combined have less wins than Max or Dothdato.
This truly is just like a welcome to the FGC moment bro, there's levels I suppose.
I gotta go to the bathroom and get back.
It's very cool, I mean in other fighting games it comes up but not really any other
fighting games out there on the market so I kind of like that it's a unique factor
and like personally I really like nowhere the infinite stage I think it's
actually like I really enjoy that stage because you reset the neutral a lot and
I think the stages where there are walls are fun I actually think the small
stages are my least favorite which is surprising because I think when we first
tried the game all of us are like we play it on X-Match and every time but like
that was the vibe and now most of the people I talked to are the opposite they
They actually like the freedom of having like whether I want to break the wall or not and like the resource management of it
So it's just kind of interesting to see people's opinion on that development. I'm sure it'll change as the game's out
You know, right, right. Yeah, it takes a little bit more
Understanding the systems when there's walls because you're routing determines if you wall breaker nut
So like as you get better you get to have more choice essentially
But it's cool that you have like choice
Depending on the stage where you are, right?
So there's there's a lot to think about and it's not always the same interaction
for every stage right
And it's it's fun to watch okay
So now we have Lily she's got some strategies that she's been developing and practicing
I've seen on the side when we're on our break, so she's looking to call her assist
He's been looking to anti air and she's looking to use the pull in from her projectile
Which is penny a combo if I get you do this move and you hold back
Okay, it's like spider-man where you can like hold him in you get a combo
Okay, it's working so far, right? I mean a little bit of a mis-time on the offense there.
Well, it's literally sneaking that grab. Into the wall, it's dangerous. Great conversion there.
Oh, he drops it. But has to hit again and that is something that WGY has been really good at.
It's like even when you think of this strappy, you feel like you're being like,
oh, well, things gonna work out. When you can play patient, reset the position, don't do anything fancy.
Yeah, he's very calm and waiting for his opening, right?
You might think the poke of being a very ignorant character, just pressing and going crazy on the opponent,
but really, he's picking his spots very carefully and just slowing things down to make sure that he can turn the tides into stable.
Looks like that, right? Not overextending on the offense as Bates the leg of Super backs up to see what you do and then reacts to 40 minutes.
Yeah, and that's the thing, right? It's like, when you're, when you're fighting
something like this, you think, oh, they just want to kill me, they're gonna run in,
they're gonna be attacking, they're gonna be swinging. I should just go for my
super surely to hit them. But the nice thing about WJ's game plan is he's been very
patient, too. I don't know, sorry to tell you off there, I said one of the compliments
Lily's defense in that sequence, right? There were his lows, there were his eyes,
there were his assists, great blocks, air block the end, right? So Lily, do an
amazing job of weathering the storm right now, which is what you have to do to
earn your right to start playing against the whole team.
Yeah, and I would love to see you forward roll on T-Cents and Gull because you mentioned like when the whole
runs he gains momentum, but if he has to stop to chase you forward rolls he's not gonna be as, you know,
sticky, he's not gonna be a little bit more easy to get away from, but this is a bad time. He has a
lot of meter too, he can dump the bar, oh he does, he blows up the comms at the end, so now Lily has one more
Super and the response calls it out, backs up to see the wake of super response with his own.
That Mecha is not going to survive that one. Oh man, no, there's no way I'm looking.
Confidence and control. I think that's the main thing about the gameplay there.
That wasn't as much of a steamroll as the other sets were.
It really was about him just getting these knockdowns, seeing how Lily wanted to respond to them,
to them and then just getting nice light conversions right just some of these
knockdowns you just walked up and went crouching Mike crouching Mike oh you got
hit I'm gonna convert to a combo right just really structured controlled
gameplay to avoid the scramble not going his way yeah I like that a lot and I
think it's very smart to give your opponent some space sometimes one of
the biggest mistakes I think people doing offense in all fighting games is
over commit and then when you over commit it gives them a way out right but
but sometimes by lessening the pressure, you actually make it harder for them to escape.
So really smart by him.
And I love the stuff we saw from Milly as well, even though she didn't get a win right
there, which I'm sure she's disappointed about.
She showed a lot of improvement over the last few hours.
And I'm always impressed to see her growth when she's on her journey.
The thing about fighting games is it is an individual genre.
We all have our own journey of growth, about where you start and where you want to end.
So like you figuring out the path and what makes you happy and what you enjoy about each aspect of the game
That's sort of the fun part about the genre and what makes it to me the coolest, right?
That's the best part about the genre is whatever you want to invest in and whatever you care about on your own
Personal journey as a fighting game player is what you can choose to do
So it's the coolest part about these games if you don't want to do sick ambas
You just want to Hulk smash if you want to do something technical or interesting or run away or throw fireballs
Or if you just want to like get in there and mash on buttons, you can do whatever you want
It's it's the coolest thing about the genre for sure
Approach the development of your skills in the genre. Yeah, it's like you're always finding something to keep growing in
Which is what makes it infinitely replayable. So I absolutely agree with that really was showed some great defense in that situation
But here we have the doya against I'm assuming Leeland on
On the spider-man immediately on the first sip eats the two age that is the counter
If you get predictable the approach you'll have an assist coverage and Dota 2 shows that immediately into two wall breaks
Yeah, I feel like Jayden or Jameson, but like
The Spider-Man characters are menace and you just got a 2hm like I hate to reveal the secret but like that and you know if you know
He's gonna do it
Dota 2 has the whole team already by the way, which is a big deal getting it unlocked early
Also, this is the end of the stage.
the world tree is the last panel on any one of your age again beautiful stage yeah
this is I think it's the prettiest stage in the game
man look at all the assist calls right like he broke the walls early assembled
the whole team and then what he's doing with hold he's moving around and he's
just calling his sis and letting them do the dirty work he's using that penny
anti-air assist to cover the approach as well even there right he walked up
Or dashed in, called the magic assist, let magic do the work for him, magic tanked the hit, he's good, and now you found the hit with his Hulk solo.
Get some for the common conversion. And it's time.
I guess the flax, he doesn't get to gamma rage, but he's pretty close.
One, one level off.
He's here in the bottom left, he has the red fist, and then one more level above it, you get, uh, the gamma rage, which gives you armor against blows, and it makes the Hulk really scary and enhance the bunch of stuff he does.
oh bread bread and the cross-up yeah call iron man dash over them after getting
up you got a block away from the point characters now the cross-up theme is this
call okay solid coverage from Leland yeah it gets
matching there to cover the offensive sequence there finds the hits into the
Super conversion
Oh, I don't think this is enough. No
Wow! I'm gonna jump back assist using the Magnetus assist. It was the downmissness to the anti-air line
Yeah, just great coverage. Once again, it's a huge part of the game
Both these players are really using their assist to great effect to navigate around and cover the screen
Jump calls the magic assist and that actually would be the other thing I thought was it. So, table that magic back assist
Which I mean, I think it's like funny Madagascar is really good on point. She's really good second
She's really good down and her back is just one of the best so
Slayer anywhere. She's a very versatile character
Whoa
Air assemble counter does not work out, but oh two-way blocks. Yeah. Yeah, don't a day with the MP jump right?
That's what's so you can block in here, right? So jumping around calling your assist you're defending your point character and
covering a lot of options, but the zippin
He's actually surprising there too, like you saw that WWE was a little late to QA, and that's actually something that I think is like a big deal about Spider-Man.
And websites on the news that like, you know, you can beat it pretty easy if you're ready, but if you can like throw him off, you know, like that's good.
I'll hopefully win, bro.
That's all about the mental sacriate, like of course, just react to everything, it's so easy.
And you're wondering, what if we're 17 things, that's right.
Well I'm favorite, you can beat everything, just react to all 17 things all the time.
Mmm, great assist call, once again, Doritoia, like he just needed to tap it in, get that
final putt into the hole there, into all he does is let the assist do the dirty work.
Yeah, he's just waiting now, calling some assists, playing behind the crossover, like
that is one we haven't seen in as much for him, playing behind Mad, I like the double
jump, that was like really nice, that's one of those like I played versus games before
double jump of like playing behind this. Alright, there's a counter. Like it's often for losing as well.
Doesn't staircase down that jump in. It was at disadvantage after that like air-to-air interaction,
so double your challenges. Okay, we're powering up.
I got some ice cream, y'all.
He's knocked down here. All the magic assist in the corner gets the tick throw,
gives them back a tip. Even though it doesn't break the wall, you still get one of the assists
Back would you just use and the air confirmed doesn't get the whole thing, but he's one hit away
He's winning and the low nicely done Dota 2x completing a 12
Perfect record. Wow, and I think that was the least
Offensive game we've seen out of the way, but maybe the most impressive to me, right? I just feel like that
I gotta play max bro. I
Gotta play max, bro
I assume it will end in a three-way tie for third because I think Box Box will be cracking
and I think me and RDC will do some max.
But I don't think it matters.
I think it's funny that we're not gonna watch max versus
Dotto.
Oh, RDC won't even play Max.
Wait, so who does RDC play?
Oh, do they play Dotto?
Or do they get like a normal game?
If we're gonna have the showdown of...
Oh, they get to play Kraken or Boxbox.
Alright, then I think I'm just locked forth.
the
used to be doom and now he's throwing goblin bombs and just dealing all as much zoning and tricky stuff as you can deal with it
now the throw is gonna be a big deal
oh dang kraken
that was a wild interaction kraken on the recent after getting
green goblin is kind of a cool character
grab and grab in this game
PDV refers to grab and grab in this game is very unique in that it starts a run animation that you commit to
and
So if you lift and there's lift recovery and so I can run behind this one gets to grab
now boxbox has a tank get in the combos he's on the corner he's getting the magic stuff
I like the back dash here it's like kind of kind of play safe you know it's looking to
attack roll out goblin bomb comes out this is where the scanner gets tricky it goes all
Protectiles it's got the bomb out on the screen. He becomes very hard to approach
Oh, oh, I'm right the wall
Yeah, he like missed his offense at first but it happened to work because of the counter state that he didn't trigger and then you
Letters follow up
Overhead this game's close box boxes didn't see it. You got put by it. If you've never seen it
Yeah, I wanted to see if Kraken can find a way to get that glider out there.
This character gets gnarly.
Help Lily get one win.
I think Lily's going up against Maximilian dude for her last match.
So I think she's going to go 0 for however many games she played, but shout out Lily
Peachy though.
Oh, that's a weird one.
That's a weird missing.
It's been a really big, yeah, that has caused him so many issues.
He's got to change the combo up and try to find something else.
Oh, wow.
Good projectiles on the green goblin.
Oh, no conversion on the anti-air, but we got devices on the screen and the super whips
This is a 2H, oh any other button, any other attack fun on the controller, the light, the
medium, or the standing heavy, all probably would have connected that scenario.
The 2H is a great option to anti-air, but it's very slow, oh my goodness, just a miscalculation
on the option there.
Oh, never mind, we're back to the 2H.
We'll go right back to it.
You doubted it, and clearly it's the only way forward, it's not going to reach out,
box box on her train again turns out the strange button has caused a big problem so she got to
fight beginners yeah literally just gotta be crushed it worked there and then he went back to it again
and he got blocked again but it's a hard game i mean it's not a hard game i think it's easy to learn
but it does work but you gotta remember i think she uh like it's hard to swap from other fighting
games i think she's gonna play another fighting games wow there's also a wall flat he gets a
the meter back because of the bomb now and he is holding gizmos into overheads hold on wait a
minute set game five this would be also a big upset box box has been the person almost
gave max's first l of the evening for striking her they both got a token available to break the
the wall here, knock down, you get the pip bag for his, this is well the 2H.
Wow, Tocco, you got that.
Dotto, Kuchu, yeah, he did, yeah, he played great.
It's doing a lot of work, the armor, the overhead approach, boxbox swinging into it
a lot.
Thank you Fincaver.
There's a good adjustment on the combo right there, the 4H, and then the dvd at the end.
2H again!
Dude, use your Toccon combo.
Combo to say that that's the use case for it anti-air like that get the combo conversion into the gizmo
Barats here into the corner box. What do you do?
Roll in GG GG just use any old should be able to kill any super. I don't know if he's gonna spend a super that the end
You can hear a super here. He doesn't
know when you super
GG
No
You can touch the projectile fireball to the face, but there you go, right?
You have a little bit of advantage on the wall break.
It's up to you to figure out what is your super fast option to pin them down, to force
them to block, or use one of the other defensive mechanics, right?
Right now a lot of people are warming their way out of that situation, trying to scramble,
hold off back, or mash, because people haven't figured out that.
So now it's box-box versus PSIU, and then winner against Max, then Max against me,
then me against Lily.
That was like right on top of them as a whole cup. Then Mark first Pryk and then
Kraken first. Wait it goes back? I thought we were, does it go back? Yeah and there's a lot of,
I mean there's a ton of tack that I've seen out there for like basically every character.
And Goblin is, I think if you like and you like coming up with cool things, Goblin is,
you know, he's one of those characters where he's, I don't think there's a way for them to fight
unless one of them loses.
I would love to watch Dotto in a max fight though, because I think it'd be fun to watch.
Definitely some cool stuff out there on the internet, you guys can find.
So let's get into the match.
Yeah, it's just Winner's Day.
We're going to be moving right along to you in Boxbox and get another win on the board.
Boxbox, poise to go on a legendary run here.
This is his last chance, right?
I don't think the rotation will make it back to him.
If he can keep the streak here, he's gonna greatly increase his win count,
and then go up against Max if he manages to take out Sayu here to get four wins on the board and cause the upset.
Just to put him ahead of players like Ludwig and RDC Gaming.
So, he has the chance to get a legendary comeback right now in this event.
At least, you know, get that second place.
Boxboxes combos have really improved. I'm so impressed even this conversion like not easy to do
You have to jump and hit JH or I get to do manual input
Medium DP and then do the jump cancel after like pretty easy combo to drop
And he's landing it extremely consistent. Oh the clash back to back
Clash is somehow saw you get to the better of it with the classic Iron Man here. Oh
I should have won my first magic in Sayu, freaking regret.
Sayu crushed me.
We want Boxbox to lose here, right?
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
There's not many grabs in this game, now the mix-up more comes from high versus low.
And whether you're gonna extend your string with an assist or end your string early.
Basic B&B some trouble that shot instead
Yeah, I mean you build infinite meter and box box makes magic every day
Gege that Ironman costume explain a nice little box jump over the zoning patterns as well to close the gap
and range of friends with buttons
first it
It's box box and sayu beats a sayu v2, but
Box box learn how to use super super late that super cancel last time like kind of figuring feeling it out now
He knows yeah
The way he's using assist is really impressive as well considering the last time I saw him play a versus game
He didn't call any assist so I'm impressed by the way he's using the iron assist
Oh, he jumps into it
Damn huge ult. This is actually winnable for Sayu.
Oh my god, he went into the game and fought the heck
He just enhanced all of her moves. All of her moves basically become
Oh, Gigi?
Heavy burden of her moves. If he does it again, he can cancel into the health ward, I hope.
Wall break is Sayu into the chance of life, but it's the fireball again. He solved the situation.
We already saw that right when you get the wall break and I want to get these players to sit down and stop mashing
I chucked the fireball into their grill. Yeah, you can see he's clearly being presented with problem finding solution
Done add it to the repertoire. So you're good at fighting games. I'm in third
That's not bad without even rehearsal barely. It's already into the muscle memory, which is absurd
You know how hard it is to one see identify that they're receiving a problem the first place to find a solution for it
and three get it into your muscle memory to enact it in a high-stakes situation or a real match.
All right now it's time for Maximilian, dude. Hopefully the dream, honestly the dream, if
Box Box beats Max, then I get to play Lily and then RDC and then Kraken. So I'm rooting for Box.
If Box Box wins this, it's like the dream universe. If Box Box loses, then I have to play Max.
But if he wins, oh, I get to play Lily and that's so sick.
And I think he could.
I can't beat Max for sure, but Box Box seems like he has enough combos if he wins, you know,
a couple of times in neutral.
Do you think you would be Lily?
Do I think I would be Lily?
Yeah.
But I don't even I think it'd be a fun match regardless.
All right, here it is come on boxbox come on
Come on, but to the top of one of the Giants of this event and get himself
into a third-place position. Come on. Yeah, let's go boxbox. Please.
Please. Nice low. I'm getting nice. Something's happening. Is that the watcher?
Nice assist. In the background? Nice.
What did this happen now? I'm looking at the background. I'm not watching that
Come on lock in lock in
No
No, you're getting owned in your favorite game
That's right. That's just one game. That's just one game
You're building meter you're building meter
Okay
What a follow-up to the assists keep it going
All right, you got counter that's fine
Okay, you got overhead that's fine
Nice low
Nice we could use me here. We could use meter here. We're max meter
Wow good swap by max
Come on. No, this week did not work
Maybe you could use level
Okay, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, to your full string, you can do your full string here.
Let's see your full string here, but ending with the level three, ending with a level three here.
Dude, end it with... έws your super!
Use your super!
Even a level 1, even a level 1 spawn!
Oh my god, oh my God, oh my God, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, okay, okay, okay.
Nice aerial grab!
What a round!
Okay, still a lot of meter left.
Still a lot of meter left.
Nice!
You're right, you're right, you're right.
Wait for the assist.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right, that's right, that's right.
Okay, that's fine. Good roll-off.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, all right, that's gonna be a lot of damage to you have your sister. Oh God
All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you can do a level two here. You can do a level two here
Spending some of the game on the extension here
It's into the the wall. No, I'm gonna read you sir. What you please use your level to
Use your level three. Use your level three. Use it. Use it. Use it one time dealer, please
He has to assemble gauges tags to doom as the meter built
Max uses meter and what happens he's gonna do an awesome amount of damage. He's doing level three. This could have been you box box
Oh, this literally could have been you bro. This could have been you, bro
Oh
My god
This is my last match I believe well, no, sorry, it's not my last match because I have the chance to win
Okay, alright, let's do this.
I
And he took my side from me, bro, brutal.
What a crossup.
But I'm playing Magneto, can I swap?
Oh
How do you
I gotta switch I gotta switch I don't like my guido
I can't stop characters
Oh my god, okay.
Nice, really good combo there, Max.
Really well played there.
Nice.
Show some characters.
Oh my god, I'm back. I'm back. I'm so fucking back. I'm so fucking back.
What?
What
What is this
God damn it, bro
No
I'm alive
What the hell is this
GG all right guys so so so so much fun
Thank you very much the Marvel token and PlayStation for sponsoring the stream
I believe that is it for my matches today, though.
I believe I'm all set for today.
Really good matches.
Unfortunately, Dotto, Max, really good players.
Not much we could have done there, but maybe grind offline and try to get that skill level to be able to beat them in the future.
We are close to beating them.
We got our match against Mark though.
We got our match against Mark, that's all that matters.
It's going to be Maximilian due to the 11 wins against Lily Pichu with zero wins. That is tough
Do you come in third will probably end in fourth I think because I think
Mark gets to play against Kraken unless Kraken wins it of course and then that will determine third
I heard Max's trouble with Penny, Lily has a chance.
Um, yeah, I think it's super possible Lily wins.
Uh, but that was fun. That was fun, bro. That was a fun ass time, dude.
I think the format's fine. I think Max and Dotto are just really good. I guess the only
issue that I have with the format is I probably, it probably would have been more nice to
see Max play against Dotto, you know what I mean?
It might have been a treat to watch, but I think the game is beautiful, beautiful game.
I think they're doing a max versus Dotto match at after nine, but I'll have to end because I have to get dinner. I'm starving.
All right, Lily going for her one win of the day.
I think the issue with Lily is she always gets hit zoning.
And then, like, oh, look at this.
She gets crushed when she's getting hit on block.
Yeah, I saw the trailer for Prime Time, it looks awesome.
But I probably won't watch it.
Why?
I think I care for biographical films.
I feel like biographical films are made so that the actor can make a run for best actor of the year at the Oscars.
But the actual movies are mid.
Hold up Lily with the raw super!
OHHHH MY GOD!
Can we talk about how close people stood in the runway of the tungsten cube shop putts
that seemed risky based on streamer competency?
I should be fine. No one's doing a spin
Hey, I'm from Canada and I really want a 79 bike. It's an e-bike
I was wondering if you could help make a dream come true. King Kobe I can't bro
But I hope you make your dreams come true one day one
Was it wrong?
No problem, thanks.
The confessional booth will be part of the video that we make for Shimmer. Give us a while, I won't be out for a couple weeks though.
Yeah, I don't think I'm much of a biopic enjoyer. Like I didn't watch the, uh,
Bob Dylan one or the recent Michael Jackson one and I don't think I mean I
guess Chris Hansen one isn't really a Chris Hansen bio pick I guess it's more
of a retelling of to catch a predator but I didn't watch the Elton John one I
didn't watch
see I love something like the last dance I love a documentary that actually
features that people who were there a hundred percent I would I would watch a
queen documentary every single day over watching a film you know
I feel like just give me like five more tries. I like to man on the moon. Actually, I'll say that I can get a win
I'm more predisposition to liking it. This is sad for Lily
I'm more pre predisposition to enjoying it if I don't know what the subject is about using only your voice link
Like if I have no idea what the subject matters about I think it's cooler
Did you like Oppenheimer?
Yeah, enough.
Making a song with only Ludwig's voice.
Okay, let's see what we can do.
No strategy I was improved down try to get the win or is cracking gonna cause the upset
This will also be the biggest upset. I think of the evening is cracking will deny the other victory
and ending it.
The third place champagne for RDC
was Leland and March's crackin' bottle.
That is gonna crack here.
It's okay, it happens.
Sometimes you just get zero wins.
It's fine. I did my best.
Okay, they're booting.
It's fine, Cricket.
Me.
Alright.
All right.
The start. Vampire blades.
Kraken not really getting his footing.
This is for third place overall if RDC can win. It's Mark Phillips at the helm.
Leland is their ace, but Mark called his own number so far looking at a perfect.
There it is. Wow, wow, wow. Round one. Dominant.
Kraken looked lost.
Round two. Kraken throwing out the bombs, but Mark knows about this. Mark backs up, waits for the projectiles, jumps over, dashes in.
Okay. Counter by Kraken. Doesn't matter. Sane.
It's just a difference of neutral.
Kraken's got to adapt and do some anti-airs, maybe
Or do some like aerial projectiles so he can't jump dash in
That's it round two round two all but over. Oh, there's the launcher
It would be hard to lose this though for it's hard
Yeah, that's feeling since 2019 glad to see it live. Thank you, bro. I appreciate it
Oh, give father a sit!
All right, so this could be a comeback, but I think based off what I've seen it's jover
Yeah, it's jover
So Mark's gonna be in third. I'll be tied for fourth with box box. I'll take it, bro
I'll take it. I got my win against RDC top four and that's killed me
Yeah, that's it. Ask curtains. There it is. There it is. Level two.
It's been watching my stream relaying what I'm saying to mark
I don't hear it Ben Ben you did as I'm my stream on the you got you got on your other monitor
and then you're just in what you're instigating
I do have your stream up I know y'all we good
we in there happens no it's not no we don't get man
but what made us made us lag bro I'll make you lag
look this is what I'm gonna say to you yeah you got your win and we didn't practice but
I'm gonna give you your W.
But guess what though?
I got my winning chest.
So guess what?
I guess the world just let us get on with it
on something we weren't supposed to win, right?
Cause that's where your intelligence lies and chess, right?
You lost at the bracket of everybody here.
But I came on a game for two seconds
and you wanna get your win.
Come do it now.
But I know you're scared now.
Cause you see what I'm doing.
You're scared.
I'm gonna see you though.
You got your win.
I'm gonna keep it 100 up, but you got your way.
I will 100% play Mark.
I can't right now though.
I have to actually go, I have a dinner.
So unlucky though, genuinely unlucky, bro.
Ah, I'm so tilted about that.
I wish I had a freaking dinner.
Nah, man, what can you do though?
But seriously, thank you so much to Sony PlayStation

I will be back live. I actually don't know if I'm gonna be live tomorrow
I'm definitely playing with no shadow of a doubt
Do not mistake this at all. I have 1 billion percent playing deadlock or yeah deadlock, right?
It's what it's called. I'm playing deadlock tomorrow. I might just not stream it
I might just only be on Connor's stream, but I'm a thousand percent playing it
I'm a thousand percent playing it. I just might not stream it
The only reason I might not stream it is because I would have to go live and play deadlock for two hours and then end
Which would it would just be kind of like a weird stream
You know I'm saying because I have to what I have a I'm gonna watch spider-man tomorrow night. I'm watching spider-man
with some friends
So and maybe I'll go live for two hours and do it, but worst worst case
