@Materialist39 Жыл бұрын

I just want to break down how absurd this is and reiterate both how strong Wolfeys team building and confidence in it is. Build a team with a uncommon strategy that becomes metagame warping as it leaps up the ladder, have everyone copy said team which then gets counter teams made for it, have the original team notified over time to deal with these counter plays, and then just enter the tourney with effectively the same original team anyway MF pulled without hyperbole a Starcraft Brood War Bisu Revolution for the season

This is a bit of a nostalgia for me, first time I ever watched a Wolfe video was the thing he did with Shady way back when and he had just won a regional with perish trap against Ashton, which incidentally is the first vgc match Ive ever watched. I kinda kept up with the man since, needlessly to say things went relatively well. And a cool little detail, that team Wolf built with Shady originally had jigglypuff, but they had to remove for Politoed it since the team was so weak to Zard Y. It may have needed to go back a few thousand years, but Jigglypuff finally became the star of a Wolfe perish trap team.

It's honestly insane how difficult this tournament was for Wolfe (despite the WCD) - Prior to the tournament, he basically leaked his team, which ruined the major surprise/unfamiliarity factor his team had. (I think he also leaked his team's EV spreads and nature but idk how much info showdown provides on other people's teams) - He had back pain. (Mental energy lost to enduring pain is bad for performance turn-based competitive game) - He had to fight the teams he had lost to in swiss and the only player that was undefeated at that point in the single elim bracket - He had to win two coin flips with Gholdengo damage rolls in the finals (I assume Ashton must've EV'd his Gholdengo as such given that Wolfe's team got a lot of attention prior to the event) This tournament should have been a disaster for Wolfe given these circumstances and yet he still won it all.

@ramanahveljeyaseelan5406 Жыл бұрын

You exaggerated with the evs and Ashton preping for wolf's team part. 1. If you accept open sheets you can get the moves item and tera, like in tournament so getting the ev spreads is impossible. 2. BRO WDYM, there's no shot Ashton prepped gholdengo specifically for wolfes team, prob directly towards arxanine but that's also a stretch since its a 50% coin flip so unless we get into a calc and compare every mon we won't know what he was prepping for.

SEMI SPOILERS The final matchup being the same as the first time you won with this team was iconic, what a great video Wolfe, you definitely deserved this win 🙌

@CthonicWisdom Жыл бұрын

I was so amazed when Wolfe won. There's a lot of really talented new players coming in and this just goes to show that despite focusing on content, Wolfe's still with it when it comes to high level play. That's the world champ difference.

It's so cool that both times Wolfe won with Perish trap, he had to face Ashton Cox to do it. (Congrats to Ashton too, he is also a phenomenal player)

I really enjoy this style of video that breaks down a strategy/meta for a tournament (or set of battles) and then has you explain each decision during a battle.

You know what I love about these videos ? Is that they fully explain the massive skill it takes to be the best while highlighting the excitement and risks of it all. I have been playing pokemon since red and blue came out, but these make it as epic as they feel in my head. Great work.

however it does set up for an underdog anime-twist win where this happens a third time and ashton wins. or, rather, the alternate universe where he won the gholdengo-arcanine 50/50.

@robinsong4298 Жыл бұрын

Wolfe, I love you so much man. Your creativity and humble yet hard won achievements and even failures never cease to impress, entertain, and teach me. I hope you read this because I'd like you to know you're not just a content creator to me, but honestly a benchmark of a well rounded person in my mind. That probably sounds exaggerated since I don't actually know you but I think I can pick up what you put down enough to say I look up to you and aspire to be like you in a number of ways, regardless of the fact that our medium for connecting is a game largely intended for kids. I look forward to seeing more of you and your genius brother. Peace and love.
