Just finished all the videos. You're severely underrated and you will surely grow. The algorithm promotes good content and that's what this is. Maybe it's just a bit of a shame you didn't stream all the training. But its top tier regardless. Proud to be subscriber no. 186

[@TheBones5]

I didn't have enough subs to stream at the time, I'll stream future challenges for sure, thanks man

@@Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1024 I think it mostly bases the videos shown to people off of popularity (not *only* popularity but the tags and content of said video [like in the title or games added to the video]) and things they've watched recently, and or searched (this is where tags come in, it's good to have tags on videos so people find your content)

[@HartsyProtzy]

The technical breakdowns of these games is always very interesting to me, I genuinely love these games

[@flaming.river.]

I loved seeing your eyes flitting from each side when Nightmare was in play Also the quote "I know, I'm going to state an opinion on the Internet!" Is so real

[@GenericLoser12]

Not much of a talker, but - damn. You've really been blowing these games out of the water. Your editing, everything, is charming. Proud to be the 812th like, and within the first 2k subs. You got this, my man.

not that into fnaf tbh, but your personality is super chill, your explanations are entertaining, and your drive is admirable, so i found myself binging all your videos. hope to see more from you in the future.

[@chillperson]

what you forgot to mention and what would've made the night much easier if you had known it was the fact that nightmare can only 2 real laughs per night so after you clear him twice you can be assured that every laugh after that is 100% fake

[@youtubeneedstochange4414]

He does memtion this in later videos so I'm assuming he just didn't have that knowledge back in the first FNAF 4 vid.

[@chickenisgood1]

its crazy how underrated this is, this is an awesome series and i binge watched it in a day lol i hope you break down more of the games later this is really nice

[@TheBones5]

definitely will bro, thanks for the support

[@Nighto]

this series is incredibly underrated, like 2K views max? goddamn i've never seen something be so criminally underrated

[@kazukimoto12]

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN, YOU'RE THE MAN! Just beat 4/20 mode! Summary of my run: I don't think I perfected the non Nightmare gameplay, I just tried my best to focus the door I heard fast footsteps from, and holding the flashlight on the bed until I heard any footsteps, switching doors if I heard fast ones on my way to a door. I probably would have done better if I memorized the foxy footsteps like with Nightmare. I didn't use a timer, I just listened for 3 seconds before flashing or closing a door. I held doors for about 5 seconds and then immediately flashed and went back into the room instead of listening to the door again. I flashed the bed whenever the room started flashing noticeably after clearing a door. In my successful run, I managed to keep Foxy out, but when he did manage to get into the closet, I think I only ever managed to survive 1 hour by holding his door for about 5 seconds when he appears, then flashing the bed while listening for footsteps, going to where I thought the steps came from, clearing the door, and then holding foxy's door for about 5 seconds and hoping there was time to stop the other door. After this I would flash the bed, but long term I wasn't very comfortable with doing the strat for the whole night. Once it was 4 am, I did as the guide said, just listening to the cues and going to the door matching the last sound cue played, and holding the door until I heard the alternate sound cue, and listening for new cues until it stopped and then checking the corresponding door for the last sound cue. If I heard a laugh without footsteps and I happened to be holding a door, I let go and flashed the hall to confirm if he's still on the door, if so I held the door again and did the usual. If he wasn't at the door, then I flashed the bed followed by closing the closet until the usual sound cues played.

[@hihi4165]

I know its been said many times now, but these videos are really well done and underrated! I was a a huge fnaf nerd and have been revisiting the fandom lately, and to know how the ai works after all this time is super super cool, along with a look at updated strategies to beat the games. Glad to be about your ~559th subscriber, will be cool to look back on when this channel inevitably gets big.

[@Kasumizawa.Miyu_RABBIT04]

Okay, forget about my comment on Fnaf 3 video. These are making me want to play the games again.

[@teeth227]

i love the nightmare jumpscare, the noise it plays is so cool

[@Shantimertangi]

I just went on a little fnaf spiral after watching the movie (I’ve always been interested in the A.I mechanics of this series) I stumbled upon your videos and I was obsessed! I’ve watched all your guides watching you dissect fnaf 3 and 4 were my favourite. Your editing and gameplay were top notch and I also think you’re really beautiful 🫶🏻 which helped contrast the scariness of watching these 🫣

[@shrimpfriedwhat]

this is crazy dude i gotta give you mad props for this. Cant wait to see your channel boom bro

[@febbyfazbear]

this is my first time ever commenting but i had to say that your explanations are so clear and concise and this entire video is just so well crafted that i can tell you’re extremely thoughtful and skilled and i hope you get the success you deserve

[@Darth_Wader07]

these are great tutorials man, probably the best ones ive found for the fnaf series, keep it up!

[@oriongabriel6966]

Absolutely loved these 4 guide/breakdown videos of the fnaf games and hope you make more like it. This video quality on only 442 subs is crazy. Subscribed and I wish you luck in the algorithm bro👍

[@mechhands]

i've only recently taken an interest in fnaf and it's been so fascinating watching your AI breakdowns and guides. im super curious what ultimate custom night would look like if you ever decide to do it. thanks for sharing these

[@feartogo]

So happy to have been apart of this journey with you, seeing your content evolve and grow is incredible man. Can not wait to see what's in store for you. Excellent work in all aspects brother, cant wait for the inevitable colab

[@moxienerd4714]

love these videos, it's so cool to know that there are ways to beat even the hardest parts of these games, and it's cool to learn the way the ais work! reminds me of binging vids about how the beat the chip and sons fangame (there was a long period after release where nobody could manage the hardest night, and it took several fnaf veterans and speedrunners brainstorming on a google doc for months to make the winning strategy)

[@user-us1it7ft6j]

I just found your series, and I find it highly informative. Extremely under-rated and you deserve more subs!

[@nameunknown8441]

Loved these videos mate. I haven't played FNAF in quite a while since UCN came out, but you made me want to revisit the games with all your videos.

[@WalkThrough_101]

Thank you, I really struggled to get to Night 4 just today so this helps a lot!

Dude you need more support with the algorithm your content is honestly amazing to actually watch ironically i told someone that i was watching you're vids you definitely got some talent hope it works out for you man

[@brandoncastellano1858]

Just found this. Binged all four. It was interesting to see how the AI works and that’s what I found the most fascinating. Best of luck on getting your channel big if that’s what you want. Stay safe!

[@jonasprilla610]

Hey man just wanted to say I’m really digging your channel. I never really like fnaf videos because they usually just obsess over lore or reactions, so it’s cool to see someone focus on the more technical side of these games. Also really love the music you use in your videos. Looking forward to whatever you drop next!

[@NotCon]

awesome content :) youre really good at getting information across. will be watching future stuff you make!

[@ParisTitan]

You are amazing brother. I remember watching these games from different creators' playthroughs years ago and I enjoyed them so much even though i didn't understand sh.t. I just watched all of your 20/20 guides and all I have to say is, they were so fcking enjoyable, I was hoping they would never end. Please do the next games as well and keep up the amazing work you do. You earned a hyped sub.

For a channel with so few videos the quality is absolutely remarkable. What a great find! Keep it up and take my sub

I got this video I'm my recommended, and I'm honestly really glad. It's so cool to see people passionate about something.

[@kotolisshunter663]

u r so cool! love your videos :3

[@milsharkie]

Watching this video has made me realize that a hypothetical mode where you lose immediately if Foxy gets in and Nightmare doesn't show up would be super sick to watch someone be super good at. The mindgames and careful planning when to go where, to manage Foxy without losing track of the other three plates you have to spin at the same time, is hype af to witness

[@Bran20man]

This was helpful because I used to flash nightmare and now I know to close the door and save time and I used to think that after we closed the door we shouldn’t flash them after because we might die but now I just hear for breathing after I close the door and then flash thx for the video very helpful

[@thehighlight8625]

Similar to your story, I played the first 3 games when they were released and beat all the hardest difficulties for each, when this game came around I was scared to death on my first playthrough and never actually finished it, must go back to revisit it soon

[@justawhiteguywitharocketla590]

When you have 9k subs with the quality of someone with 100k+ Keep it going man 👍

[@csdgay]

fnaf 4 is by far the one i've spent the least time with, i'll probably get into it one day

[@VNG_oof]

You’re fnaf 4 story told at the beginning is similar to mine-but instead of just fnaf 4, it’s all the games I haven’t played a single one myself but know everything there is to know about them (due to me hitting my fnaf phase post-security breach) Why? I’m that scared. I’m 16. I’m that scared. This is partially because when my friends would talk about this in 2014-2015, the way they would describe this would totally mess with my mind, and my mind went to way more graphic things when they said that withered Bonnie was a “bunny with no face”. I don’t even think I knew they were animatronics until like 2016 or something. So yeah, I would have night terrors and hallucinations of those much more graphic variations for a while until like 2016 or 2017, when I started being on my phone and ipad to get my mind off of it. Eventually in 2021 or whenever SB released I finally realized how it wasn’t really that bad and have began watching my friends play it and watched the fnaf movie, so now, after many years, I feel like I’m ready to actually play the games. Just not fnaf 4. “They have so many teeth it’s not scary” my ass.

[@crowqueenamps]

Outside the games, the FNaF 4 animatronics aren't that scary since they look they they're trying hard to be scary. You know, all the withering and teeth and wires and such. But in the game renders? It's the same magic that FNaF 1 did to make the animatronics scary. The lighting and gameplay makes you more tense to see them. And since in FNaF 4 you have to crank your volume so high, it's the perfect environment for a jumpscare.

[@pot_8_oes]

your story at the beginning reminded me of the only time i played fnaf4, it was on my brothers ipod and i dared him to start the night and just see how long it took to die. well, a few minutes passed and we didnt hear a jumpscare, so he decided to check it just in time for foxy to jump out of the closet lmao

[@kryoshka]

Him basically “Hello everybody, my name… no, wrong character”
