It should also be stressed that the fighting game community itself is pretty isolated.

I should also mention Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 5 are both on that list twice because of how well their ports sold (if you take the duplicates off, then Arms makes the 20th slot). The other games like Guilty Gear, King of Fighters, BlazBlue, the Street Fighter Alpha subseries, Soul Calibur, Bloody Roar? Even the Persona spinoff games? They are nowhere to be found. In fact if my source is correct, not a single one of those franchises has a single game topping a million sales. The jury's still out on Guilty Gear Strive, but for all of its reputation as "the breakout Guilty Gear game" as of this writing it hasn't cracked one million. So I really can't blame Smash fans.

Smashers Try To Be Funny challenge

[@orb3796]

to be fair its really hard to be witty on the spot in front of a crowd which is why improv is so impressive

[@Rislear]

@@orb3796 to be fair nobody was asking them to be funny

[@orb3796]

@@Rislear not explicitly, but implicitly. You also would've tried to seem cool and funny knowing you'll be in a youtube video, otherwise you'll just be edited out.

[@theotherjared9824]

Smash players be like: "This is Ryu, from Streets."

[@LoAsha]

I cried whenever someone couldn't get a street fighter character like, how do you not know DAN HIBIKI STRAIGHT AWAY???? ALSO DEE JAY?? LIKE SEAN I KINDA GET SINCE HE'S ONLY BEEN IN STREET FIGHTER 3 GAMES AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER AND MAKOTO IS MISTAKEN FOR SAKURA BUT DAN AND DEE JAY-

[@ODISeth]

Honestly Coney… you should have all the smash players at Panda take this quiz and see how well they do

[@StargazingGarou]

ngl, I'd expect an ESAM win on that one. Managed to catch him on the floor EVO 2019 scoping out sets of SamSho.

[@EWOODJ]

Not even SNK knows who Brian Battler is.

[@sanu5898]

Damn I was hoping my Faust cosplay got caught on camera haha. Great video Coney this was hilarious

[@harfang6]

This is exactly how I felt it would go. I was actually getting second hand embarrassment the farther along it went lol.

[@adammorway8031]

Dude says “I play good fighting games” then proceeds to say “play Strive”

[@thegamingen8903]

Strive is awesome

[@cebada1272]

No it isn't

[@gaminglakitu]

I can tell the first few people were definitely joking lmao Also surprising how GG basically got all of the guesses right, which is weird since nobody barley even knew GG until Strive

[@ChrisC-ui1re]

Should have included GG characters who haven't made it to Strive yet, see if they can identify Venom or Slayer

[@simbarashetakaidza565]

All the GG characters were easy tho They probably wouldn't have got Nagoryuki or Testament

[@M0vess]

Bro when that man fr said he'd give the smashy for naming my boy Billy Kane made me wanna cry that I wasn't there.

[@FixTheWi-Fi]

Honestly, some of the people in this queue, even if they lack gaming knowledge, are great at improvised comedy.

[@bongobongo495]

I’m not surprised nobody knew who the characters were but I’m even less surprised that nobody there was funny

[@tottycapsgg]

Honestly, most wholesome roast. I don't know how I got here, I do love fighting games, and yeah, the youth doesn't care about old stuff, it's fine! The stuff is still good. Way to keep the attitude positive with this even if the dunk tank got full; subbed n cheers

[@andresdelcampo51]

I'm so mad, cause I know who like 80% of these were, but I got hit with fucking DUCK KING???

lol as someone who loves fighting games and knew about 95% of these, I love this content.

i thought the jin guy was doing a bit 😭

[@volt734]

Will there be like a part 2? There seemed to be more, or maybe there were just a lot more prizes than characters left

[@cryonictaco9948]

There is not more of the same challenge but he did do a different game with the same remaining pool of prizes. He livestreamed it on his Twitch if you want to see that

[@Rayhaku808]

I've never been so upset at a video in a while. Well done Coney.

Roflfox showing up in this gives such a funny case of whip-lash, love that guy

[@zeospark9715]

Funny on how the prouncation of "Raiden" can be depending who it is. Raiden (pronounced "Ray-den") is one of the main characters of the Mortal Kombat series and Raiden (pronounced Rai-den) if one of the main characters of the Metal Gear series

[@Espen5145]

I was shocked by the amount of people who didn’t know MK characters

[@BronzeAgePepper]

"I play GOOD fighting games" had me dying. I 100% agree with that guy, but I still recognized all those characters, they're iconic even if MK has always played like ass.

[@strykah92]

Well a lot of these guys most likely only play on Nintendo platforms, which MK has never really had a great relationship with.

[@strykah92]

@@BronzeAgePepper the Midway MK games yeah, but the NRS era MK games have made a much more conscious effort to be competitive, and have a more in-depth practice mode than many Japanese-developed FGs actually. Besides, I don’t think the guy that said that was being entirely serious/objective considering how many Smash players primarily got into Smash because ‘it has all muh favorite childhood Nintendo characters ^.^’, rather than it’s mechanics.

[@DoctorChuck]

That is the whitest Dee Jay art I've ever seen. Looks almost nothing like his SF4 interpretation.

[@yggdrasilsaltar]

thank god to coney for making this video so i can feel better about myself for knowing who chop chop master onion is, a content king

[@SnuggsMcDuff]

I had no idea what his name was. The only thing I could come up with was "the onion guy from PaRappa the Rapper"

Wow, GG and smash really do have overlapping communities, interesting to say the least (also props to the lads who knew snk characters you guys are cool)

Raiden can either be an obese wrestler, the god of lightning, or a dude in metal armour that likes to slash things.

I was screaming inside when people didn’t know Makoto. I know nobody else in that crowd is a boomer that still plays a fighting game from the 90’s, but I’m still upset.

[@BronzeAgePepper]

Makoto and Sean have being SF3 characters working against them, but I somehow doubt these people could even name the SF2 characters that aren't Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li. Was honestly suprised by the guys who got Vega and Akuma, not because it's hard but my faith in Smashers is just that low after watching this.

[@Antonio-is2cn]

@@BronzeAgePepper As the faces of Street Fighter Ryu Ken and Chun Li are popular enough to be featured in pop culture, Akuma is an iconic "Secret Boss" in gaming for how broken he is and Vega had his theme from Street Fighter 2 remixed in SSBU which was well received by fans.

[@frogzx]

Not gonna lie I thought "Smash players don't know fighting games" was a meme. Up until today, at least.

[@Antonio-is2cn]

Nah Smash players know fighting games they just don't play them. For example: SuperGirlKels had no idea who Terry was but her brother who also plays Smash did get an idea on who he was "Terry from KOF" For Kazuya while she didn't know the character, she did recognized his series Tekken and acknowledge it's popularity.

[@uwabamiJohnny]

I couldn't believe that was Dee Jay. Why'd he use the one official art of Dee Jay where he looks caucasian? 🤣
