Thanks, Marques for helping me get the right cellphones and computers over the years! Don't forget to sss'scribe to both of our channels. ❤

[@leoe457]

Bravo for this man!

[@mikhaelhilaly4372]

I just found out Adam founded the table tennis club at my university. I go to USC and I thought that was so cool!

[@dimitri1515]

He's an athlete so he has great hand/eye coordination. Would be cool if he spent the next year taking a lot of lessons and playing seriously, then come back next October and see the improvement.

[@mkbhd]

I will now start practicing twice as much 😅

[@renatilyasov6873]

@mkbhd get a coach if you want to improve fast

[@uga-uga1427]

You should take one or two lessons from Anastasiia before that. U ll improve much quicker knowing some technique.

the only reviewer I trust about buying my cellphones (and Dave2D)

[@moddhaponelyt626]

Lmao wassup love your content

[@xd_ryuu3041]

the automatic 11-0 win for the 3rd set got me 🤣 great collab Adam

[@iskandartaib]

I saw that one coming ahead of time and wondered if they'd actually go through with it.. 🤣

[@michaelenechi]

Mad paradox. You have to loose to win 😂

[@Coolhand69]

Last collaboration I would've ever guessed lol, respect to Marques for holding his own

[@mortenberg2897]

Holding what? 🤭

[@wiewat231]

Holding in?

[@sirris4330]

he didnt hold anything...a joke. i guess just an ad for ping pod...

[@atNguyen-yt8ey]

You mean holding his racket?

[@BigBoss7777777]

@@atNguyen-yt8ey😂

[@markedwards3393]

No one is even talking about Adam's no-look over the shoulder winner. It was insane!!

[@CBWP]

He looked at where it was going to go before he spun. You can see his eyes. That was amazing regardless. He has spatial awareness.

[@gnerd07]

facts. Marques was shook at the level lool

[@nonamed56]

don't talk about it. be about it!

[@RpM_Jake]

This should be a yearly thing. If Marques continues practicing you should face off at least once a year to see the improvements he can make.

[@iskandartaib]

He's rated about 850 now, he'll be 1800 in a year.. maybe 2000 in two? 😁 Just needs some coaching...

[@LandonCR]

@@iskandartaibyou can be rated in table tennis like Elo in chess 😮

[@iskandartaib]

@@LandonCR No idea how Elo is, but yes. In the US you can. The ratings system is actually based on the one used in Chess.

[@muhdsaiful9676]

he need to fly to vietnam to learn from Ti Long master 😄

[@iskandartaib]

@@muhdsaiful9676 Nah.. NYC is a hotbed of table tennis. Lots of clubs, lots of coaches. Ever hear of Marty Reisman? 😁

[@rocinante4488]

The dude won 2 games in a row by scoring 1 point 😂

[@iskandartaib]

That, my friend, is what it takes to level the playing field between a 2150-rated player and a 800-rated player. Unless you've been to a major USATT tournament and played in it, you'd have no idea about the difference a mere 200 ratings points makes.. you'd have very little chance of beating someone rated 200 points above you, and you'd have to try pretty hard to lose to someone rated 200 points below you (excepting up-and-coming Juniors who are rising fast, and they get adjusted up in any case before the calculations are made..). Adam's way above the typical 1400-1700 rated club player, but he'd get hammered by someone rated 2400. That's the nice thing about tournaments in the US, though - there's always a class you will be competitive in, doesn't matter whether you're rated 2500, or someone who's never played in a club, who's rated 800. And if you can improve over time, your rating will go up when you beat players rated above you.

[@0XDOXS]

@@iskandartaibdoes rating decrease?

[@iskandartaib]

@@0XDOXS Yes. If you lose to someone rated below you in a tournament, you will lose ratings points, and your opponent will gain points (this is how you increase your rating, by defeating someone rated above you). How many points you lose depends on the points differential. They make allowances in the case of rapidly improving players (usually juniors) - if a person beats a whole bunch of people rated far above his/her current rating, they'll adjust his rating upwards before calculating the point losses and gains.

[@techwithshikhar]

The collaboration we didn’t know we needed but deserve ❤

[@Vidflm]

I'm a youthful 75 years old, and watching Adam and Marques has taken me on a trip down memory lane. It feels like I've been using the spins Adam executed for well over 50 years in my own service and return actions. Adam is undeniably a master at these spins, but I must say I'm not too shabby myself at 75!

[@ChemSteve]

Ping pong was a family affair for me as my Dad taught my brother and I to play starting around 7 or 8 years old, and we all still love playing each other even though now we're 45, 51, and 88, respectively! Dad still plays well!

[@mudmud251]

I'm a long time follower of Marques, it was awesome to see him here playing table tennis. Cheers Adam you made my day.

[@TableTennisDaily]

Epic collab guys! Love the subtle feature at 1.14 😄 Table Tennis and Tech is the perfect combo! 😍

[@mrfernambuk]

Every video in this channel is full of love and humanity, so it makes me cry. It's so beautiful! Thank you

[@SodomaMuikku]

Don't get too sentimental *buurrrp* Morty!

[@ibrahim-sj2cr]

scoring a roller against adam is a bucket list item

[@rockys7726]

He figured out the most important aspect of pong. Speed can be easily countered but spin is much harder to read and counter. It's one of those things that people realize as they improve.

[@pugsnhogz]

He's a pretty high level athlete! I'm not surprised he can figure out other games quickly too. Neat to see it.

[@C0BEX]

at a certain skill level, it becomes the opposite. You can throw any spin at a high level player, he will just smash through it.

[@RotoGluOn]

As always, your content is heart warming, very entertaining and still we had great ping pong exchanges along the way. Thank you.

[@valefex8989]

The collab I wasn't expecting but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless - great video as always Adam!

[@LosAngelesTableTennis]

Awesome collaboration! I hope he and his team continue to play and improve.

[@Mdcarter121]

This was so much fun to watch two of my favorite (very different) creators come together to play! I had an eerily similar table tennis journey to Marques (straight line, fast, won most games… then played people who knew spin). I had to start waaayy back at the beginning, got a professional racket as a gift from one of my mentors, and now… am better. But it took about 9 months of feeling like a fool to get to a place where I could challenge the more elite players with some consistency. So keep on keeping on Marques! Play people better than you as often as you can!

[@shenqiangshou]

The collab we never knew we needed! Well done Marques and Adam!

[@shonen84]

Really awesome! The fact Marques is already analyzing the spin means he can become better than many other players. Really cool hangout with his crew as well!

[@He2New]

This collab is like a dream come true ❤. Marques’ comeback would be victorious… we’ll get him one of those long pips 😅

[@nejad97]

Dude!!! putting that Smosh clip seamlessly through the video was soo amazing for the mutual viewers, Thank you Adam, or whoever has edited this, Kudos!

[@babatundeodedina5571]

really happy to see 2 of my favourite youtube coming together to do a collab never ever imagined this would happen

[@ankansharma4897]

This is second video I am watching in this channel after the rematch between Tsai and adam. Who knew TT can be so fun. It brought huge smile on my face. Subbed.

[@buenoblanco]

Guys, I love it!!!! So cool to see Marques work to actively adjust his game during the match.

[@greg_gor]

Amazing video! Thanks guys for entertaining us - I was laughing until the end!

[@laughingjack6152]

Didn't expect this collab at all by these two favourite youtuber of mine❤❤ Much appreciated for this amazing collab🤟🏻

[@Sturrxx]

LOVE YOU ADAM !!! (KEEP UP THE GRIND)

[@limerickkurniawan8724]

Adam's humble demeanor but cheeky play is always a joy to watch! Now in MKBHD matte black.

[@benroth9409]

he's not that humble

[@limerickkurniawan8724]

@@benroth9409 sure, all famous people will come and play with their fans all around. Oh wait...

[@iskandartaib]

@@benroth9409 He is.. And to be honest, he's got nothing to be cocky about - there are tons of players far better than he is. Go watch some of the videos where he plays some of them. It's hard to be cocky in a game where an 11 year old girl can give you four points and win, and Adam's willing to play against them despite knowing he's going to lose. He'll often play against much better players using the same handicap system he's offered his opponent here, though I've never seen such a big handicap as this.

[@Bojanevski]

Haven't been this much entertained long time ago... GREAT VIDEO!

[@wolfmanracquetball]

Great video. I wish more folks played more.... Ultimately, my biggest passion with a racquet is racquetball of course. I love the video editing and angles of video. Great job!

[@fdocamposC]

This is a Crossover that i never expect!! Awesome video!!!

[@stfon5]

Fun stuff guys. Keep up the good work both of you!

[@woshiairy]

2 of my all-time favorite KZbinrs!!!!!!!! Cheers for both!

[@ayanakash9900]

Damn, never expected this collab!🔥

[@SwegServices]

Ayoooo W collab I didn't expect I watch you both all the time

[@gordonhall9943]

That made me laugh so much. Good job to both of you.

[@canicetang8837]

Adam let his opponent winning one point in five sets. Amazing.

[@khuoh]

The collab I never expected but amazing!

[@codylox41]

Awesome editing as usual Adam

[@Zoomjah]

Such an awesome collab! Mad props to Adam for putting the stakes for each game that high! (Even with the huge disparity) Though I feel Adam's style does work best for those kinds of stakes. Amazing how well Marquees was able to play vs that heat though!

[@juanlash]

this colab was really unexpected, but I appreciate it and I'm now subscribed to mkbhd because of this lol

[@kurisumakise5641]

He did play table tennis pretty well. I can see that he had been playing/practice quiet a lot with those 8 months. Really excited to see MKB improve in the next time he plays with you. Much love to both of you

[@SomeoneSmarter]

What a top guy! By the way, I love the funny editing in Adam's videos. When that power shot smashed the wall, it really caught me off guard!

[@kerrin6633]

When Adam says 'you've been extinguished!' he also accidentally crashes into the fire alarm device 😂. Great video!!

[@meirvaizman9181]

Thats a collab I never sew coming Wow love these two ❤

[@Centorior]

This is a brilliant crossover, well played.

[@chriszod]

i must commend adam for being able to play kind of actually PERFECT, even when i play people who dont know how to use a bat, i might still just lose a point from my own serve

[@marusia1]

Amazing video. I was laughting many times 😂❤

[@Nick-hz9no]

I love it when two channels I sub to meet and have fun. These are the best!

[@luckyarya9561]

I have watched almost every videos of yours, but commenting for the very first time, just because of Marques! Its like watching this live! Next Time He’ll surely give you Tough Competition!! Till then Keep Practicing❤

[@tin.illana]

Two of my favourites! Great collab!!!

[@wuziq]

this was so wholesome. marques is such a good sport.

[@tomg9941]

Nice to see Adam is giving a platform for smaller creators

[@BennehYT]

OMG I did not expect this kind of Collab! this is so cool, I'd never expect MKBHD, one of the best tech KZbinrs, to be so good at My favorite sport! 🏓

[@mithileshlokhande]

did not expect this crossover at all!!!

This is absolute madness!!! I wish we had Pingpod where I live :)

[@USA_CHANNEL898]

I like watching your videos. Thank you Adam! You are professional

Good on Marques for accepting the challenge. It's not easy playing against someone with leagues more experience than you. Have to give props to Adam as well. Played a completely error free match which also is hard to do.

[@alankingchiu]

Give that man a proper pen hold racket! With proper equipment, coaching and training Marques can be a good player.

[@c-a-t-entertinment7075]

[@bryanwells4063]

love to see people using penhold, there are so many penholders at my club it makes me very happy. I started learning with Korean Penhold style, and then switched to c-pen later when I realized how much of a hack the RPB was. Now i play shakehand and have joined the other robots in attempting to copy the chinese playstyle, Ive got hurricane 3 and Dignics 09C on a Fan Zhendong ALC. so expensive but also so incredibly effective! attack attack attack, penhold just didn't have the power that I wanted in my backhand. At least Felix Lebrun is keeping the playstyle alive!
