Ok

[@godaelite]

Can you explain briefly about the copyright infringement on z-moves? I was so confused when you got desperate about it.

[@takethebluepill16]

[@andrewkrebs5608]

@@godaelite So basically, some of the Z-move cutscenes will be picked up by the copyright id system, and he'll make no money :(

[@otromae]

This is a 55 minute wideo, it was uploaded 14 minutes ago at the time of this comment , and had 177 likes, meaning 177 people liked it without watching the first quarter of the video. Conclusion, people watch Wolfeys videos just for the intros

[@jerryliu3166]

lol

[@aledella98]

Wait there's something after the intro?

[@peacelovemetal5197]

I love this comment section

[@spartan9012]

I mean, Wolfey's wideos have very nice intros. it's a refreshing experience, honestly

[@michaelgamerytmj677]

Nice math nerd

[@mr_dianle]

If a Pokémon breaks 1809 speed it becomes so fast that it moves first in trick room. This can be accomplished with swift swim and tailwind with some speed boosts, you have to try this with kingdra and pelipper!

[@mayhapscloud]

Daniel Mackoon choice scarf swift swim barraskewda, jolly, sack pelipper(damp rock), get mantine in and get 3 max airstreams in, after ur dynamax is over then tailwind. barraskewda is now at a whopping 3090 speed. he is now known as sonic. (at level 50 btw, at level 100 he’d probably have 6000+) absolutely mental. breaks the sound barrier

[@holtshady]

Woah

[@baka1fred642]

how about with barrasweda it his the fastest swift swimmer

[@rusty8311]

Daniel Mackoon So if I lead swift swim barraskewda and pelliper against an obvious trick room setup. I could max airstream with barraskewda and tailwind with pelliper, and that will let barraskewda still outspeed in trick room?

[@LucaBl]

@@rusty8311 Scarf gets deactivated when dynamaxing. So you need 2 max airsteams. Without maxing barraskewda you only need 1 max airstream though.

[@acopella431]

"Lemme know if you want me to react to me winning 2011 nationals" How is this even a question

[@forsakenwolf1228]

“Dynamax lunala would be bad” me: ... I mean... you’re not wrong but...

[@sleepybinch]

im convinced hes joking since hes done it in two videos now

[@Princess_Narii]

@@sleepybinch Either that or his mind set is so set to gen 8. I forgot stuff about the old gen aswel. For example that speed changes dont effect on the same turn in the older gens completely forgot about that!!

[@JadeBull-zg3hb]

@@Princess_Narii He definitely remembered the speed changes. That's why he specified 'old' icy wind and 'old' electroweb

[@Princess_Narii]

@@JadeBull-zg3hb I wasnt refering to him forgetting about the speed changes. I was refering him to forgetting about dynamax not being a thing in gens before 8 xD As example that me also sometimes forget about stuff that are present in this gen and not in older gens

Yea he was kidding he didn’t get into depth with that, I love the delivery tho, so casual

Wolfe exudes confidence when his hair is cut. Wolfe best waifu.

Might as well have an anime since he has the intros as well

[@Robert-sw2ib]

“Taday we are facing tailwinds of about 312 degrees” one of my favorite quotes yet

Wolfe, upon seeing one Z move: panics, hides screen Wolfe, during second Z move minutes later: forgets about the copyright strike problem altogether

[@ryankendall3716]

Only the “special” z moves have that problem (ultra necrozma, kommo-o, eevee, mimikyu, lunala, etc.)

10:54 when you're already watching wolfey's video at 2x speed and then he hits you with the 4x speed video.

sometimes I'll rewind you explaining something like three times to make sure I understand it, only to have aaron explain it right afterwards, lol. he's SO good at explaining stuff, I was barely into competitive at the time this was live and I remember being so invested

[@Kasaaz]

I can now see why they reduced the visual impact of Terrain and Weather in Sword and Shield...

[@surudhbandekar5374]

Why was it again?

[@Kasaaz]

Surudh Bandekar It makes it so hard to see what is happening when you have Delta Stream in to of Electric Terrain, in the video, for instance.

[@MothDax]

*Tapu Koko gets sent out* BANG! Everything is yellow now!

[@Riebeck-the-Archeologist]

Been watching this man ever since he was locked out of his house when his lock was changed right after becoming champ. Wolfey you have just the best personality

[@vitorrancan431]

I love how wolfey's wideos are a small mess, it always lights up my heart.

[@RobinNashVideos]

That post game interview was absolutely hysterical

[@aquartertwo]

Maybe it's from being both a seasoned Worlds-caliber player & KZbinr, but Aaron "getting into the players heads" and being able to articulate it in live commentary is always really impressive.

[@SorenRoberts]

Agreed he is one of the best commentators across all video games

[@bruniferoo]

Bearded wolfey over wolfey is giving me serious "Remember who you are Simba" vibes

[@EvilChicken313]

I really love these reaction videos to historic vgc content, no matter if it's your own matches or just iconic matches in general! By far my favourite video format of yours :)

[@tejastuppera5276]

I definitely like these videos the most, cuz there’s a lot of interesting matches I haven’t seen that you highlight. Wouldn’t mind this once or twice a week tbh.

[@MrHall67]

Why is this soooo entertaining!! Love it ! You behind a mic vs in person epic !! Thanks again for the video you allow us so far behind the curtain!!

[@michael_betts]

It took me googling icy wind to see if its stats changed to realized "Old Icy Wind" was referring to speed calculation happening mid turn in gen 8 and not 7 or earlier.

[@12jswilson]

I really enjoy this type of content because you have enough time to explain your whole thought process. There isn’t enough time while the game is actually Happening to fully explain.

[@nathang1996]

Hello WolfeyVGC, I do really enjoy the VGC history as I only recently got into the format. I would appreciate more videos akin to this in the future. Much Love, Man from Milwaukee

[@Mandby]

watching every single video since the start of SW/SH These are my favorite videos by FAR! please do more!

[@menonaa_3787]

Wolfe competitive forme never fails to amaze with the enormous brain plays, crazy when the switch flips from wideo man to 'I can see everything you will ever do'

Great wid, really insightful! It'd be cool to see you breakdown a match that didn't go your way, idk if it's something you'd want to do but it might be a cool learning thingy for all.

[@briehart-nutter4357]

Your eyelashes are a 10/10, just like the rest of you @WolfeyVGC edit: this format of reacting to major games in past metagames. Especially ones where you are playing or know the players well, is fantastic. In two years, a random ladder battle getting vaporeon to #1 on the ladder will be a fun meme, but won't feel like it expands our knowledge of VGC the way these reaction/analysis videos do

[@erebos7093]

Love this stories and game analyze!

[@swampboat8725]

By "old icy wind", are you referring to the dynamic speed calculation added in Sw/Sh?
