Sakurai didn't even mention tripping once, carefully moved around that topic lol. Man, in this video you can just see Sakurai with a face of "too much work" every time he mentions that he himself had to do a bunch of stuff.

Masahiro Sacrifice.

Theres a MDVA Puff on Slippi just called "WATCHMECUM" who just holds shield till it breaks and he blows up 4 times. Local legends

Just saying, Sakurai's videos aren't "falling off", that's just the hype train moving onto other things. He's made it very clear that the channel is about game design and helping new game developers, not just random Smash players checking out because they want more Smash content.

How ironic the first Smash game to get balance testers was the most unbalanced game in the series

I agree that smash brawl online had to be bad in order for the scene to grow to what it was. However, ults online being bad actively made me quit playing the game because I felt that there was no way for me to improve (none of my friends played the game)

For the record, Kid Icarus: Uprising's English localization is fantastic and feels nothing like a "Japanese" script because Sakurai gave the localizer 100% freedom, so nothing will be lost on English players. Though, if you're left-handed...don't play it.

Coney refusing to play a game he knows literally nothing about because its a "shonen" is so painfully on brand

Sakurai successfully beat the allegations, what a legend

He explained tripping in a round about way by saying Brawl was a much more casual game. If anything the fact they were so aware of players getting tendonitis is the biggest flag to making the games more casual overall.

the reason online play was at the forefront of his ideas for brawl because that's an INCREDIBLY big deal. online play would require that specific things are handled serverside and that there's server-client communication. that is fundamental to the framework of the game. the reason slippi is so impressive is because they had to take a game that was client only and completely revamp all the code from the ground up to support online play.

Honestly Coney is right about the online being bad honestly benefitted the community more consequently due to the early social media space still not being where it is today.

the UK's Elite Smash "legendary" figure is Hitler Mii guy. He's a campy Mii Gunner player who uses a Hitler mii.

I mean, Brawl is what got me into Smash, so it's got a special place in my heart

Sakurai is on a whole other plane of existence talking about game design and his reasoning for the decisions he made, meanwhile Coney is just doing everything possible to validate his own headcanon about Brawl.

Suprised coney chat knows what a YOMI or a hustle is. We should make him play it

Sakurai knew from melee that the internet was for shit talking players from across the state or nation. He understood the value of 10hr drives and 3hr flights to settle who's the best Samus is what it's all about.

Does... Does he know that's Sakurai's channel is actually about the gaming industry from a producer's view point?

I love-hate how Twitter constantly takes screenshots from Sakurai videos out of context, and the original person posting it has zero comprehension of what was being said in the first place, so their caption just completely misrepresents it. I feel like what you said about online being trash benefitting the offline scene meshes really well with what Sakurai was actually saying here.

ISTG the odd gamer folks are like 1 out of every 4 people you find on Pokemon Showdown. Like you'll battle a guy named "givemeyourpiss" and he'll have a Zapdos named "Hitler is my dad". It's always extremely tilting when you lose to those guys

KID ICARUS UPRISING IS EXCELLENT AND EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT

Nice to see what coney thinks from the man himself Also the time difference reflects relase dates from melee to brawl. Fitting

"mario kart has random items" CONEY WHAT ABOUT TRIPPING???

you’ll notice that in the clip of him playing brawl at that tournament, he doesn’t run. he ONLY walks. that’s my goat right there

brawl being designed around sideways wiimote explains a whole lot actually

I miss the brawl days, back when this toxic “gaming hall of fame/iconic characters only” mindset wasn’t around in the community when it came to new characters

Funny thing about Sakurai saying he wanted every character to shine in story mode is that Puff and Wolf were exclusively post-game unlocks in Subspace Emissary.

16:00 He is literally just describing YOMI Hustle lmao

The Strikers Charged love is appreciated. Shout out to everyone who used to play online, that was so much fun. Sadly the servers are gone. Now no one can be Striker of The Day 😔

18:35 "It's just a stupid shonen anime right?" The only things Anime about the game are the ArtStyle and a few characters interaction. That's it

7:45 I NEED a source.

I love new coney content I should share this with all my friends! Coney is amazing :)

7:20 yo anyone got a link

Sakurai's youtube channel would greatly improve if every thumbnail had 'REAL?' with a red arrow on it.

Not surprised Coney is the person to say Sakurai's channel when he isn't the type of person Sakurai's channel is for lol

Can we get some sauce on that MDVA Samus player?

Brawl isn't my favorite game personally, but I'll stand by the opinoin that it's the best smash game for casuals. The team did a fantastic job making the series more accessible, and later titles can take some hints from what Brawl did.

Coney and brawl, you can't name a more perfect duo

Once you reach a certain point, people online are focused solely on "winning" rather than "playing". They're not trying have fun or enjoy themselves. They wanna clip people and / or preserve whatever number or rank that says they're better than someone else.

15:59 Coney you're describing YOMI Hustle, you shourd absolutely play it, is the chess of fighting games

Coney who is holding you hostage to make these titles

Update: I did some digging, the x-aisle camping clip is still up, but he has clothes on. His wife does not.

Who is this Dark Samus Player at 7:29. I gotta learn more.

Tripping was my fault. I told Sakurai that I had a lot of fun playing Smash while on LSD and he wanted to incorporate that into the game. There was an error in communication, though, and he misunderstood the meaning of "tripping" in this context.

that yugioh tag force 5 music in the background is so fire

Kid Icarus uprising is easily Sakurai's greatest game.

11:36 That's a tank called the LandMaster.

Theirs no way that dark samus clip is real 😂

Kid icarus uprising is goated Never play it on stream though, awful stream game as its got way too much stuff going on like loads of dialogue and super fast gameplay

Sakurai said he wanted to give every character a moment in the spotlight...but Jigglypuff, Toon Link, and Wolf were not only not in Subspace, but you couldn't unlock them till AFTER you beaten Subspace.

The dark Samus story sound hilarious! Does anyone know how to view it

the morgan and morgan hat is killing me

I totally agree with coney, Playing smash online is a demoralizing and horrible experience.

15:55 So this is effectively the premise for Your Only Move Is Hustle, a fighting game that effectively is a fighting game that’s 100% strategy.

5:38 i was playing friendlies at a Comic-Con tournament (so it wasn’t even an “official” tournament) and this villager was so committed to camping, that when I got a stock lead I stopped approaching and we literally came to a standstill and we just sat there w our characters like 🧍for 3+ minutes even tho he was alr down a stock. We were playing winner-stays w a small group so everybody saw too smh shameless

Elite Smash Legends is a video I need by CONEY right now!

Another react video! Awesome! I love watching you watch videos.

16:00 sounds like Coney should try YOMI hustle

GUYS pls help get this comment to the top because I really want Coney to know - Smash brawl was kinda 100% forced onto Sakurai. It was said in an interview that Nintendo had announced a new smash game with wifi capabilities at E3 before Sakurai even knew about it, and then there was a semi-hostile discussion where they said if he didn't make a new game for the Wii, they would simply just take Melee and port it and try and shove in a wifi mode WITHOUT him. So Sakurai was forced to either take on the project, or be sidelined from the series as a whole while they ruined Melee with a bad port (he was extremally proud of Melee at the time) All in all Sakurai didn't really want to make Brawl in the first place and on top of that they didn't have the time they needed because Nintendo just sprung it on him on a whim. He probably didn't mention all that because he probably just doesn't want to shed Nintendo in a bad light.

I will say slippi ranked gets me tilted so easily and so hard (I know do the same cause I play ics), but locals are just such a fun experience

No Tripping 😠btw, what is the song that play at 5:00? I've never found what it was :')

16:00 thats just y.o.m.i hustle

watched live :)

16:20 its called yomi hustle. It already exists

4:57 Bro, the last time i assumed the worse of my oponent. I was right, i found the dude YT and he straight up sounded and looked like this "🤓". Angry is not even close to what I was. I was about to demolish my whole house.

I feel like Coney and others forget that Mario kart, just like smash, can have items turned off. Can't win with a bullet bill in those matchups. There's no rubber banding between players Either.

That EGM article still gets me tight. 12 year old me beat the 20 cruel melee dudes. And with Roy, no less.

While I definitely think smash having bad online did help the local scene out back then, I think now it’s a hindrance. Mainly since now with the internet, it’s so much easier to meet and talk to people online(example being discord). Smash having bad online now does more to hinder it now imo than help the scene grow. I have a friend who has started to grind other fighting games because he has been training with the people on discord and finds the online play more enjoyable. This would never happen with smash

Damn, prejudice against the angel. KIU is amazing.

Will say Kid Icarus Uprising is an actually fun game. I had my doubts initially but it was actually really good. It's actually a big reason why smash 4 looks the way it does. Downside is that it's a 3ds game and you play it with a weird control scheme, so I don't think you'd enjoy it very much coney

Quinn, why aren't the titles for the reactions clickbait? Curious.

Ram Ranch really rocks

7:21 i dont believe it for a second thats real without proof... not for the naked twerking, but that sounds SO ABSURD that it couldnt be such an obscure thing, if thats real people would know it ps: please share the guy twitter if you knowcause i am curious about theguy

As much as I love Uprising, for Coney I think he'd only enjoy it while streaming with chat interacting but there's so much dialogue and information, it's an awful stream game.

18:37 Calling you a b*tch would be an insult to b*tches. Nothing can make me more angry than a random person insulting my childhood. Kid Icarus: Uprising is way more than the story of an anime angel. It's the most perfect game I ever played. 😤

"Scroll for details"

16:15 yomi hustle

Play Kid Icarus uprising. This is not a request.

I miss brawl so much.

13:39 that’s just ghost rider in drip lol

Always nice to see Coney spreading positivity 😊

the hardest part of playing kirby online in ultimate is matching with another kirby because its always taunt lobby. The true test: pick between your self esteem or 8 minutes of your life

Ayo shoutouts to mario strikers charged. That game is so god damn fun

coney

As an anime hater I enjoy kid Icarus uprising

Coney calling Kid Icarus a shonen game hurt me because yes coney didn't miss but it's still the best game

Was that Deceive music???

I have never seen someone react to Sakarai's videos

I need the song at 5:20

“I don’t think this should be the thumb” really? 🤔 19:25

You should try kid icarus uprising

CONEY WOULD LOVE KID ICARUS

16:13 i said outloud yomi hustle and me that that chatter are on the same wavelength

KID ICARUS UPRISING IS A 10/10 GAME ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST TITLE EXCLUSIVE TO 3ds

Coney youu alright? These titles are, uh. Untraditional for the Coney channel

15:56 actual fax

An interesting video from sakurai

Yessir

Oh, so tripping was making up for bad netcode? That’s makes so much sense if they thought of online since the beginning

Coney refusing to play Uprising is such a huge L but it's his loss if he doesn't want to play one of the best games to hit the 3DS in its lifetime
