Having the video progress bar hidden has honestly been such a game changer for watching Alpharad. Top tier storytelling

[@bezmagica]

You can hide it? How?

[@pichujiggs153]

@@bezmagica Picture in Picture hides it unless you click but I don’t know others means. Edit: Just realized that normal mobile full screen (at least on the app) works the same way.

Alpharad not accepting that first mii brawler win is a total alpharad moment

Classic Icarus moment thinking he should fly closer to the sun

When he was streaming he said he was almost certain it was a fan's account so he didn't accept it.

[@ochako_gaming]

That Chrom was epic. Truly a cool person

[@grandarkfang_1482]

My man Chrom said, "are you ready?" And blasted him with the combo.

[@Borealis109]

And killed himself to invalidate it too

TBH that was the hardest I’ve seen any swordie go- I want to sub to whoever that was lmao

[@scotginger4690]

That Chrom must've been having a bad day. I've never felt such rage in just 3 hits.

[@contentking6038]

Props to Alpha for not counting that first game and playing for an extra like 5 hours and 30 minutes

[@noyou8214]

I'm surprised you didn’t pick Pichu, probably the best character for this

[@RedMelodyMusic]

Pichu damages himself, so I'm pretty sure it wouldn't count. Though Alpha was looking at the damage taken which only counts as damage from the other player so idk.

It's not covered much here, but the arc of Alpha getting Ganon only for him to do nothing of note was quite funny. Really sums up Ganon's life in Smash Bros, honestly.

[@0.Hedge.0]

Hi everyone 6:21 Context: I was informed by a mutual that I appeared in a stream and here in the video, and I just absolutely lost it. I saw the bit of the stream where I played against Alpharad and completely broke down into laughter seeing how goofy the gameplay was. Note that I knew of Alpharad however I don’t watch him… I’m subbing

[@ezrabaker974]

Based

[@ChillaxingJay]

That Chrom showed absolutely no mercy 💀

[@jstar3382]

it's kinda funny that you can tell when alpha is the final cut editor of a video based on the music alone. Dude is funny and all, but his music choice and the way he lines it up is probably the strongest thing he has. The drop on YWKON lining up with the stock is so good

Trying this challenge as DK is self-inflicted trauma for sure

You have my respect trying this challenge as DK. One day you will be reunited for the runback with Ethan

YO EDM WHAT

[@groudon2006]

I still find it funny after all these years that ultimate has been out, people still double jump after the DK grab because its so obvious what he's gonna follow up with

when jacobs “NO!” and falcons “YES!” lined up at 7:01

[@PXguin]

This man's dedication is wild, he could've just put it on 1 stock then get a 0-to-death and call it a day. But he went out of his way to do it with a competitive ruleset.

[@Cryptic_Diamond]

Crazy how a fan gave him a challenge win he didn’t accept as mii brawler and in the end Alpha got the challenge done fighting a mii brawler

[@rockyman2685]

Everyone who waited for this well edited video instead of watching the stream, you did yourselves a favor. This got mind numbing after a few hours. The players progressively got worse and there was JUST enough hope each time to crush you when they got some cheap hit

[@Daemonwii]

"I don't think that counts." *proceeds to spend about five more hours to actually get it again.*

[@slidingcoffee8113]

Thank goodness Alpharad is still doing Smash content

[@user-kv1uz8jg9q]

I've been stuck on the couch with the flu all day, thank you SO much for uploading. It really made my day!

I love the addition of the music getting louder each time things seemed hopeful.

[@mike_havens]

I laughed my ass off so hard in the matches where you immediately took damage as they started😂

[@sharkodactyl7796]

Rewatching this video, going crazy over how good the music is. The choice of tracks...the way the BGM ramps up during a dramatic moment...the perfect syncs of the drops to events on screen...chef's kiss mwah. Impeccable

[@gammaikazune4158]

If I had a nickel for every time Alpharad had a perfect game against a Mii Brawler... I would have 2 nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird it happened twice

[@jacksonpillow7309]

something that always impressed me about the editing was the music choice bc why am i hyped for samus vs brawler

[@Cyrusnavarro___]

The Ganon at 4:11 is me btw. Thats crazy I made it into the video

[@jacksonwilliams5399]

I can’t believe he did a no hit challenge and decide to go Donkey Kong first, the most easy to hit character in the whole game. And as a DK main, I respect that more than anything.

9:24 - If I had to guess what Tony was going for, he probably predicted you to dunk him with fair or dair, to take you with him or something. Still a weird play, but it could've been hype idk
