I Ran a Competitive Mario Super Sluggers League... Here's What Happened

[@Akamos]

This video has been on the back burner for so long 😭 hopefully you all enjoy as much as we enjoyed running it!!! Also sorry for the audio quality drop around 20 minutes, it was a copyright issue :/ If you want to be a part of the ASA community and skip the wait for content I’ve got just the thing for you!

[@an_ab_6380]

the coverage of this like its a season of an official sport is beautiful

[@gaberobison680]

If for season 2 you can find a way to mod in the ability to manually control substitutions this would be BEYOND LEGENDARY

[@Akamos]

haven’t figured it out as of now, but i agree! that would be cool

[@squabbbb]

​@@Akamosif it's possible to edit the score you could maybe fake it with save states? i.e. saves with each team variation & variation of players on base, edit the score to match. Lot of setup though

[@aiyvin]

MRC SWEEEEEEEEP! it has truly been an honor to be a part of this league as captain of the monarchs. The amount of growth and crazy strategy that found itself developing in the following seasons allowed for intense storylines to play out leading to great payoffs and heartbreaks, for those of you who found this introduction to our fun little tight knit group I implore you to join the discord and maybe watch some games when we exit our long break following our last climatic season.

wow you weren’t lying you actually posted his comment for him

[@aiyvin]

well yeah

[@LeoPantas-r4s]

Man, I used to play this game when I was a kid. To see it be treated as a professional sport with expert commentary is nothing less than amazing. Can’t wait to see Season 2!

[@Jam_Streets]

Hammer Bro boomerangs his hammer to catch the ball Hammer Bro: "I fail to see how that's *my* problem."

he’s just like that 🤷‍♂️

[@idavid8391]

The games were exciting and well-edited, but honestly the script/commentary was what really sold me. You did great work with this video.

More stuff like this fantasy leagues like this are a lot of effort and a lot of fun to watch.

Thank you so much!!! It means a lot :)

with a charge hit, no less 😭

[@TheShuuman]

Wow after a really bullshit day at work (supervisor mandated me...on his day off from hsi house) I was ready to go to bed angry and I just happen to have this pop into my recommends and boy howdy I needed this. I've always been fond of baseball though I never get to watch ti as my job almost always clashed with games were on. I really hope there is a way to watch these games as they happen. Maybe hopefully if I get this position switch I can move to first shift and watch these games. All in all great job you guys take a bow all of you.

[@serpentmaster1323]

Does anyone else think it would be funny if the chemistry chart changed based on the system time? Like generally the piantas have betterr chemistry with the toads in the summer than in the winter but only by 1 stage of chemistry, but like Mario and Luig’s chemistry dips specifically on Thursday at 3:15 for no apparent reason but the justification is ‘its laundry day? Or Bowser and boswer JR chemistry dips weekdays at 7am and 11pm. And then on a charcter’s birthday they alone have perfect chemistry with everyone. I know it would be complicated but I just think it would be interesting and funny.

[@saltygibus5746]

That would be so silly, I love it.

[@Akamos]

this may have just given me an incredible stream/video idea. stay tuned LOL

[@Vennele]

Ah, you guys make me smile.

This has to be the best Mario Sluggers video on KZbin Had me locking in whenever Eggs and Fireballs fought

[@thefriendlyenemy7908]

Never thought I’d get into fantasy sports, but then this showed up in my recommended. Th-this counts as fantasy sports, right? I can tell that to my dad?

[@Akamos]

it’s close enough to fantasy LOL

[@YojimboBlade]

With the Mario series, it's fantasy fantasy sports​@@Akamos

[@idavid8391]

@thefriendlyenemy7908 This is fiction sports, and fantasy is a subgenre of fiction, so you should totally count it.

[@wowb1965]

Yea for sure. Idk who wouldn’t want an intelligent gorilla on their team. Tell your dad I said hi and your team is good

[@shiffpup2529]

Thank you KZbin for recommending me this. I LOVED Super Sluggers growing up! I know it has a small group of fans, but seeing new content is a rarity.

[@drendel4969]

used to do this with friends when we were younger, brought back some very fond memories. Will be on the lookout for season 2 ❤

[@alectrzaskowski6792]

I’m a simple man. I hear well-placed FE Echoes music, I like. Phenomenal video… I was team Wario all the way but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.

[@Akamos]

Echoes is my favorite FE!!! The soundtrack is so good dude

[@ianteixeira3278]

this was absolutely fantastic. speaking straight from brazil here, im just fascinated when ppl turn something so simple into this complex construct of their own minds, just grabbing a few friends and doing one of the best things in life: taking serious something that absolutely shouldnt be taken like that. love it, every tiny aspect of all of this, hope theres more. more teams, more narratives, more trades, more everything! much love to all ppl involved, thx for the blast that was these 50min of GOLD.

[@GameMaster-sh7tr]

Any time there's a major upset in this whole thing, just put the 1982 Cal-Stanford game The Play commentary by Joe Starkey: "The most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heart-rending, exciting, thrilling finish in the history of--" then insert the ASA in place of college football.

this was incredible but the ending was tragic. I did love the video so much and hope to see more like it in the future since sluggers was my favorite game growing up. If there is a second season mid season interviews would be interesting as well as basing the choosing order on who did worst like in the nfl. IDK how u did it or how it is but im so exited for it man

Super Sluggers was my JAM as a kid, I would even tire myself out by playing so long 😂 (between that and Mario & Sonic Olympic table tennis, thankfully no TVs were damaged as I wore the wiimote strap *religiously*) This is literally a perfect series to get into and I love how the cpu teams shake things up while still allowing for the team owners to play strategy!

[@Jackmpace]

WOW! dude, this video is really really good. I am hoping the Knights come through next season (If there is one)

BANGER!!!! I LOVE THIS GAME (subscribed, keep making cool stuff like this because your style is amazing qnd i love it so so so much)

[@fate8718]

Ngl suprisingly well organized for a meme tournament Nice job While ik this is late, Id suggest make the series a bit long(Wildcard: Best of 3; Confrence: Best of 5; Finals: Best of 7) And giving both confrence champs the auto 1 and 2 seeds to show more importance in those games But after that nice job

[@_Puke]

You edited this video very well. I never played this game and had no idea what was going on but fuck it. I can tell you put in a lot of work and I’m enjoying it 😂

[@matchumadori5291]

I'd love to see a Season 2, this was a blast to watch! I loved this game as a kid. If I could offer the slightest bit of critisism, I found myself having to pause the video to read the ASA Fun Facts in the corner of the screen. If those little graphics could stay on screen for a few seconds longer so folks can read them without having to pause the video, that'd be cool!

[@andyshamblen515]

I'm not sure what I expected from this video, but this was a cinimatic masterpiece. I hope there's a second season!

it’s already been run! just gotta edit it now which is the hard part 😭

[@drcrowlergaming2059]

I've always wanted to do anything like this so this feels like a dream come true (Game is Region locked for some reason), either way though this is amazing and I love the editing (Though will add the trivia pop ups should stay up a bit longer to read) and also god the rumble music was a jumpscare lol

my brother and i would always race to select the petey/wiggler combo whenever we played. so much nostalgia seeing that duo continue to be a force

that was always my duo too!! made it my #1 priority to end up with both of them in this season for that very reason :)

Never in my life would I have been so thoroughly entertained by a bunch of bots duking it out in super Mario sluggers.

[@Zombuddle]

This is an absolutely fantastic idea! I'd love to see a group of smaller streamers/youtubers do this some day, you should definitely try networking with other creators sometime in the future if you ever plan on doing a second season!

[@PapaGoodTime234]

The Wilds are the classic example of a regular season team. They have good players and a capable captain, but when it comes to the play offs their play style and offensive schemes are not suitable for a 3 games series. I am a big fan of The Wilds and I want management to surround Donkey Kong with experienced players who have play off experience, because if they don’t do this they will just be wasting his prime.
