“Only girls can catch Peach’s star swing” Chad Kritter: 7:15

[@Brandyman9]

Using super dives or the bros’ or magikoopas’ fielding special, I have actually gotten Donkey Kongs’ barrel special a few times. I’m not sure exactly how, but if you can time it up correctly it does seem you can catch it without touching the barrel. It’s kind of like catching peaches hit without touching the hearts.

[@enderfan65]

Very insightful ranking video, have been looking forward to this one! The placements are overall very similar to my own, although I wasn't aware Wario's was quite this dismal. It was to my understanding it called on at least some level of skill to catch, so I'm sad to hear my main man's stuck with a rough one. As for Waluigi, I'd say his is very mediocre, in my experiences with him. He seems to hit it to the right more often than not (probably because he's a left-handed batter), and he doesn't quite have the running speed to make it to first before it gets thrown there. It's really little more than a glorified bunt in those cases, and thus too unreliable to safely use. The pay-off for when it does work isn't usually as good as Mario's, either, for which it isn't uncommon to result in doubles and triples on Peach's Ice Garden.

[@Toadeight]

Honestly, I mostly agree with your list! Really all I would do is swap Mario and Bowser Jr, but it isn't a *huge* difference to be honest.

[@somemaskedguy9445]

Last time I played sluggers I had bases loaded and used Yoshi’s star swing and got so screwed over by it. It bounced once towards the mound and immediately bounced towards home plate resulting in the catcher getting an out at home on the force. I didn’t even know that could happen, but now I’m always skeptical on using it.

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

Wow, that’s strange! No star swing is 100% foolproof.

[@kryptic8477]

You can hit through daisy garden by pressing b but you would have to run to the garden first quickly so can glitch through

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

That is true!

10:13 BRO SO CLOSE TO THE GROUND RULE DOUBLE INTO FOUL GROUND WHYYY

Legit probably one of the best thumbnails you guys have made

[@lukecassidy8342]

I know it’s old, but great video. Glad I finally found my niche

[@h2owl205]

Personally I think Diddy’s should be higher. I know there isn’t anything too special about it, but I rarely ever see it ever result in an out. Personally I would’ve put it at 5th in front of waluigi’s

[@onlookerofthings6029]

Oh that's weird, DK's face is angrier in the replay (8:59) than normal (8:40). Do replays usually do that?

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

Wowwww that’s an amazing observation. It didn’t happen with the other captains here but I’ll have to look into it more and get back to you, never noticed that!

[@worthplayingfor2197]

That's crazy

[@zombieprobro7616]

Since I don’t use nunchuck that much, I feel like I always get doubles with warriors starswing. Also idk why but birds not being the worst feels cursed for some reason. Yoshis is basically always a hit. I think I’ve caught it only once in my years of this game. YELLOW TOAD IS OP WORKS WITH EVERY CHARACTER

[@Mario87456]

I hope we will soon see a ranking video for Star Pitches next.

A+ background music choices

[@NoTimeForNoodles]

damn really had me thinkin with the thumbnail

[@Rickan_]

Surprised to not see Birdo last, because when you play against the AI it is 100% out. With Wario, it waits until the bob-omb explodes.

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

This list was made assuming you’re playing against a human player with nunchuk. Against CPU, yes wario’s is very good.

[@jsenn8140]

You guys have peak Mario music taste, inside-Bowser Bumpsy Plains is bold but respectable

[@Parochou]

I agree with yours, but I think that Wario rise in rank(ONLY when playing against the CPU!).

[@jdcranjis5490]

Before watching the video, my guess is that from worst to best, it goes luigi, birdo, bowser, diddy, Mario, bowser jr, Yoshi, waluigi, daisy, wario, peach, DK

[@jdcranjis5490]

After watching, I had no idea that wario’s had such weaknesses…. I thought I knew almost everything there was to know about this game but I guess there’s still things that I didn’t know lol!

[@aciddownpour2185]

incredibly based useage of BiS ost respect+

[@Jester-rk1xn]

For bowser jr’s star swing, sometimes I see characters just walk through the paint to catch the ball so I’d rank it ∀ bit worse.

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

Yeah I wasn’t aware of this before making the video - shows that you learn something every time you put content out for people to see! I’d probably swap BJ and Mario.

[@nicwo]

Mario’s should be on top, I’m pretty sure it’s the only one you can hit a home run off of in certain circumstances.

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

If it bounces off a fielder maybe, but I’ve never seen it happen

[@nicwo]

Here knowing that Birdo is in last and Yoshi is in First. Edit: ooh. I was wrong. Interesting.

[@MarioSluggersFanclub]

Birdo almost made it!

[@nicholasvetrano]

I think if u jump u can get Yoshis but bc of his speed he’s still a hard out

[@BlazeMasterBM]

in my opinion, Birdo's should have been the worst. It's easier to catch than Wario's

[@isaiahtownsel7455]

Birdo star swing is number 11

[@saandwich104]

My Lest fav gotta be birdos my fav is yoshis
