It is absolutely criminal that this amazing video has only 2k views while low effort Smash videos can get hundreds of thousands or even over a million views. This is genuinely one of the best Smash related videos I've ever seen. Great editing, really good humour, very entertaining overall and the twist at the end was brilliant and hype. Also I've seen a fair amount of videos in this sort of style of beating a game or part of a game while restricting yourself and this is probably the best video of that kind I've ever seen. The only criticism I have is it takes a bit for it to get going but when it does it's a great time. This deserves at least 100 times the views it currently and your subscriber count deserves to sharply increase. Your channel better blow up soon and I look forward to anymore edited videos you put out.

Incredible, really appreciate the effort put into both the run itself and the editing. As a long time Peach main I can tell you: embrace the turnip dreams. You will be rewarded with stitch faces.

[@ChallengerAndyOfficial]

I was wondering, when you are just like idling around waiting or baiting do you just constantly pull turnips so you have a chance to get one?

[@ZachGerlock]

@@ChallengerAndyOfficialPretty much. You want to use normal turnips when attacking a lot of the time so you'll pull a lot anyway, but if you have more downtime you can pull a few. You're mainly going for the stitch face turnip, it's almost a 2% chance so you can actually get one most games. But when you do get that beam sword it's so sweet, Peach wields it better than most characters. Turnip pull rate was nerfed hard after Melee though, so it's less effective in later games. But it's still worth trying when you've got nothing better to do.
