@@slader6079 I think it's a better visual, and I appreciate the effort of recreating the battle, but the continuity errors make it even harder to match the two visuals as describing the same event (example 6:20 froslass faints twice back to back, 8:30 jolteon switch in was much smoother transition)

Something I really appreciate about your videos, and you in particular, is you don't trash-talk your opponent. You talk about how good they are, you explain that even the smartest player can make unsuccessful predicts, etc, and this greatly enhances the experience of watching you play these tournaments. Best of luck to you!

@@SharpLCDTVI forget the channel name, but I used to watch a guy whose channel was mainly hilarious weird strategies (often on Anything Goes), and people throwing angry ranting tantrums. The tantrums were funny at first, but after a while I just felt gross watching. He had a... meanness to him. Sometimes he seemed to deliberately provoke people who weren't being toxic. He would aggressively belittle people who weren't doing anything particularly wrong, and might have just been a bit new to the game and competitive scene. And then I learned that a lot of big his tantrum videos were totally staged, and that was the breaking point. I found Freezai's channel around the same time, and kept comparing the two. I decided I vastly preferred his personality. It's incredibly easy to rip a person to shreds, downplay their ability or worth, and provoke them. There's lots of channels like that. It takes strength of personality to treat an opponent with respect whether they played well or poorly, whether you win or lose. I wanna frick'n become Freezai. I still need to work on how well I handle loss and mistakes. :D

the post-match discussion about how you planned an entire team is very interesting to listen to, should def keep that up since the most common struggle most people have seems to be teambuilding, and dedicating just a little % of the video going into super details before the actual match makes it much more engaging and easier to understand!
@cryochick904411 ай бұрын
