_"CORRECT, MY FELLOW CASTER, THAT _*_IS_*_ A BIRD!"_

15:44 the capsule was reflected 8 TIMES, once a frame, and took Nairo from 0-68 and had SO MUCH KNOCKBACK it was untechable Wild

Look at all these people laughing and smiling in a tournament

Pro Players: Big Brain Casual Players: Galaxy Brain Pro Casual Players: UNIVERSE Brain

_This_ is how Sakurai wanted people to play the game.

Alpharad wasn't even running this tournament and Vince still made an appearance.

Mew2king vs esam looked like esam fighting himself

"The scooby snacks are explosive" -Jacob, 2019

_Looks like the Smash Ultimate North American Invitational has some real competition_

There should be more casual tournaments for competitive players, you can tell everyone's more relaxed and just having fun.

Put me in, coach.

Alpha should really be the narrator for every competitive smash tournament

Ngl, this is unironically way more entertaining than actual competitive smash

It’s all casual until someone picks Vincent

I thought this was a CPU tournament when I clicked on it. This was a pleasant surprise.

Leffen: Casual tournaments can’t be fun. Alpharad: hold my beer.

Casuals playing King K. Rool and Inkling Real Players use Kirby and Little Mac

It would’ve been better if they were playing with sideways joycons

6:19 alpharad and void saying 'lets go pong' at the same time

2:54 _The dog has bombs_ That's when you know you need to run.

SOMEONE CALL JOE!!! NABBIT IS TOP TIER.

When I saw Esam vs M2K, I thought they were the same person for a second not going to lie.

17:07 Coney: oh no the cat Alpha: meo- Coney: AAAAH AAAH AAAAH

Can we talk about how Nabbit got brutally killed at 9:51

The funniest part is all the professional Smash players keeling over with laughter as they realize how dumb they are when they die to horrible misplays.

"tHE DOG HAS BOMBS!" -cONEY --- coney: "what do you have??" isabell:"a bomb!" coney: "nO!"

Shoutout to whoever did the goofy scream at 16:38

To get a little nerdy here: People fall for fake smash balls because of several shortcutting techniques the brain uses to process data quicker. This is especially true with honed reflexes, as they skip even more stuff in order to focus purely on reaction time. A player is focusing primarily on their opponent, with outer focus on the stage and the items spawning in it. They see that rainbow colored flash and instinctively go for it, while still mostly focusing on their opponent so they don’t get wrecked while chasing it. They’re too focused on other things, so the brain just sees the ball shape and rainbow flash and fills in the rest with “oh. It’s a smash ball.” Which relays to the instinct-driven player: “HOLY MOTHER OF TITS ITS A SMASH BALL, GET THAT SUCKER AND MASH B” Thus, a fake ball would actually get players like this more than some random person who plays the game casually. They’re less laser-focused, less instinct driven, and more used to seeing stuff like fake balls and other deadly items. This has been your dorkiness for the video, you’re welcome.

Honestly, this is more fun to watch professionals play casually. Also, Alphrad is best commentator.

This invitational isn’t casual, it’s _ultimate_

17:27 can we talk about the angle that mars threw the staff at? it bounced off the book and hit diddy. If that was intentional, my respect for marss has doubled.

Good to see this video back up!

"Casual"

Not gonna lie, I though it was a cpu tournament.

Oh it’s you boi painting a pretty CAT

16:54 "Really? This looks not good..." "Yeah, but then he does that." *Destruction Intensifies*

Thank you so much for doing this. Honestly the most hype I’ve had watching a tournament in forever.

VGBootCamp and EVO are going to have some heavy competition with this new tournament appearing that it could change the face of Competitive Smash Bros as we know it!

Day 14 of asking Alpharad to play Mario Strikers Charged

Lol I was actually at Frostbite and saw Alpharad in the hall, but I didn’t say anything because I’m too awkward

Broke: Casual gamers Woke: Epic gamers

Oh cool. He's doing another Level 9 CPU tournament. ... Wait, what do you mean he got REAL players in on this!?

8:27 LMFAO MEGA KARMA

Glad to see pros having fun instead of going full try hard

Guys we NEED Alpharad to actually commentate a tournament. A real one

I'm glad its so casual

“let’s do it next year” oh these poor souls have no idea what is to come

Who else enjoyed watching this more than genesis? I sure did lmao this was hype

Title says it's casual, and then you see the moon blazing toward the stage.

3:55 Jo is taking names right there, JOSNIFFY BEAT PLUP

3:10 both had same amount of damage given

10:53 legendary combo

12:15 when you screen flips while your watching a KZfaq video on your phone.

*_Just another casual smash, nothing to see here..._*

"Kawasaki looking very intently at the Death Scythe" That part makes me laugh every time.

ESam is part of Panda Global and won Alpharad's tournament, who is also in Panda Global... Nothing suspicious here, folks.

that esam / mvd plant match was unreal.

6:38 I thought he was playing himself or there was a glitch in the Matrix for a sec

Did anyone else think this was a CPU Level 9 Tournament and that the intro was just a joke?

11:29 I legit threw up in laughter 😭😭😭 Wolf's side B hit but Palutena got the star a second before Wolf did side B into a poison mushroom Because of all the extensions, Palutena got a Up Smash on him *My stomach hurts from laughing so hard*

15:39 Is no one going to comment on Kawasaki going Ultra Instinct right there with a stone cold face?

"How you play against second seed and lose to Nabbit?" Jo strikes again

second comment since republish LETS GOOOO i love this video Edit: 11:30 still never fails to make me laugh

Losing in casuals is frustrating as hell, but these pros look like they're having a blast.

I just love how both Nairo and M2K tilted their heads at the same time. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID THAT

JoSniffy’s true main nabbit got revenge

5:58 "Void you actual idiot! You dumb-- You see the smash logo every week everywhere you go!" That had me in tears

Alpha representing the best Persona 5 girl.

yikes, these cpu’s are crazy

"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Oh, it's broken..."

i honestly thought this was another level 9 tourney from the title

Who noticed alpha is wearing a shirt with a goddess on it?

The true test of skill

Why didn’t Vincent get casted into this tournament

Alpha needs to host every smash tournament ever and needs choctopus and macro as co-hosts

I swear, ESAM and M2K look too similar lol

7/10 not enough stage morph

I enjoyed this so much more then I've ever enjoyed competitive. just seeing people playing smash and having fun as the party game it is at its core is such an enjoyable experience.

9:49-10:00 holy SHIT. So much stuff happens and goes flying in just these short TEN SECONDS. Theres more moving parts in this fight than a fucking steampunk helicopter, this is MAD

"ALPHARAD'S CASUAL INVITATIONAL" *Entire KZfaq community complains about Casual and CPU's.*

Finally Esam wins a big Ultimate tourney

i'm so glad this video is back 😭 it was one of my favorites

This should be implemented as a stress relief tournament before or in the middle of a tournament, all of them seem to be enjoying themselves a ton, well everyone but Void lol

6:46 why are there two esams

This made me so undeniably happy. Alpharad, you're moving man, fast and beautifully. Love ya man.

I really hope we get to see more of this!

This was so fun and entertaining to watch, There should be more tournaments like this

Lmao Alpharad is talking himself more and more seriously and I love it

That makoto shirt alpharad is wearing 👌

I love seeing all these amazing players getting together, playing casual Smash. They look like they're having so much fun!

we need another one of these honestly. so fun to watch

Hoping we get another casual invitational this year.

is it just me, or do Esam and Mew2king look really similar.

This is awesome and so fun, there should be more of these!

This is the most fun I’ve ever had watching smash bros. PLEASE do more of these

This is the most entertaining esports tournament I’ve seen in my life

Weird how when Alpharad hosts a casual competition, everyone was cool with it. But when Nintendo themselves make a casual competition, everyone was being a cancerous crybaby.

This was just so fun to watch!! Just the reactions, the interaction in game, it's just a nice break from the serious competitions seeing everyone play smash as if they were playing with family

i’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and i think this is what’s finally getting me to subscribe

Alpharad link where you got that Makoto sweatshirt my man 👌
