Super great accomplishment from Prouty! While I do like that the pop-offs were featured heavily in this video, the audio balance between yourself and him probably needs to be looked at. Had to lower the volume a lot because my ears were getting blasted, but then the commentary was way too quiet. 😅

[@rseth912]

​@@DiabloTommaso That actually what puts the fun into it and why you see all these amazing reactions when luck shines in their favor. Sure, we can take out the RNG of the game and make it into a glorified numbers game where you just plan everything from the start and the result will always be the same no matter how many times you do it. Plus, it'll be boring to watch something like that and you've got to admit that the reactions were amazing, and you'll always be on the edge of your seat whether a crit or a status effect would land that could potentially end the whole run.

[@sundalius]

@@rseth912it also forgets that for every crit an enemy can get, the player can crit too. They can land the surprise para. The enemy can have a 6 turn defrost. The luck element cuts both ways and is a massive part of what makes good players good!

@@lookie4448 The same person I assume op is talking about: Verlisify. He is very much against hacking/cheating in Pokemon (competitive or personal). One such topic is hacking in a Pokemon with the IVs/nature/moveset instead of breeding the mon (some argue it doesn't make a difference, Verlis argues that the time difference is an advantage for the hacker vs the breeder) He's a controversial topic, and I know a lot of the Pokemon community seems to hate him with a burning passion. I'm neutral towards him- I believe hacking is wrong for competitive play (especially Nationals or other Competitions), and those guilty of it should be called out, but he can be a bit much/stubborn on some things. I can concede a couple exceptions for hacking if it is purely for personal use (like randomizers, modding for a different starter or such like for those challenges you can find on KZbin, or a shiny/event mon as long as it only stays in that game) . But that's just my two cents😞

[@emorawr7983]

NO FUCKING WAY HE ALMOST THREW WITH THE ROAR 😂

[@menotyou135]

Genuine question: did you intentionally audio balance this vid so that his screams are more hype? Because when headphone users like me watch this video we have to constantly adjust the volume so that we can hear you talk without having our ears start bleeding every time you cut to his live reaction. I understand wanting to emphasis "hype" moments through volume balancing but this is way way way over the top. Like your base volume is significantly lower than the volume of him just regular speaking, which he usually isn't doing in this video. He is screaming most of the time you cut to him and even when he isn't, his volume feels like it is twice as high as yours. I feel like my ear drums are going to burst, so I turn it down to about 30% normal volume which is barely tolerable and then when you come back it seems like you are whispering to the point that I am not able to hear you without turning it back up to 100%, at which point he comes back on screaming and bursting ear drums. Even like a headphone users warning would have been super helpful, or just balancing the audio to where you speaking doesn't sound like a mouse skittering across the room vs him being a F16 fighter jet's engine blasting directly into our eardrums through a series of megaphone feeding into larger and larger megaphones. Like I exaggerate with this comment but not by much. My ears are ringing after watching this video, and I don't suffer from tinnitus. Like you are going to cause legit hearing loss in some people with this audio balancing.

However, I will say watching through it was a bit of a trip with the constant swings of quiet commentary to extremely loud popoffs. In the future if the volume could be more consistent throughout or if there were more warnings for loud segments, that would be very appreciated. Great work as always aside from that!

I just felt like somebody should mention that he has a shiny slowbro for this run. thats pretty cool.

[@christophermcnamara3885]

He has a shiny milo and kanga too at least, I am assuming they are modded to be as the odds of that are astronomically impossible XD

[@showsister69]

He probably changes it with EK hex, I do that when I run EK lol

[@Tolly7249]

The sheer combination of luck and mathematical skill needed to pull this off never ceases to amaze me. What an absolute king.

[@cesarcarrizales7162]

The video had me on the edge of my seat! Loved the moment where he threw with roar and didn't get punished 💀

[@ericfranklin1802]

God damn, what a run. I’ve beaten EK on hardcore rules but some of the strats used by him are stuff I never considered despite how obvious some may be.

[@xperimental839]

Man this guy’s luck and spontaneous plays are UNREAL

[@falsnamae3511]

Oh Xerneus, Deer Lord, that audio balancing... You know we can get the idea, the drift, that the person is yelling and screaming, by both the tone of voice and the context, you don't need to INCREASE their volume when Jan is practically ASMR whispering.

[@annaxuldraugworc7832]

Considering how he lost his mind after finishing the run, deathless nuzlock emerald Kaizo should be listed into a way of self-harm 💀

[@Mookie5]

LOL I agree, I just made a Pokemon Types Tier List on my most recent video, PLEASE let me know what you think

[@dizznotdizzy]

so what im hearing is pchal finally has a fair matchup

[@Foxy-hj2qn]

It would be nice if you could either make yourself louder or the VOD quieter as its annyoing to keep switching volume. Otherwise great video!

[@Sirdustetryne]

I was thinking throughout the video that you would have to relinquish your self-appointed title. And it was so satisfying when you did. Prouty's title is even more impressive since it wasn't self-appointed. Great video mr second best.

[@dlvanderploeg]

love the video, might be worth remixing the volume in the elite 4 if at all possible

[@AvrosKyargath]

I've seen a lot of people mention it please please please normalise the audio for videos like this. The differences in the volume range is enough that I was close multiple times to not watching the rest of the video. The fact that you put a warning for the first pop off and I had to turn the audio to basically nothing and couldn't tell when the voice over had started again is a big issue.

[@bavarian_mapping]

I tried to make myself watch the whole video but I just couldn't. Prouty screaming like a manchild is too fucking annoying.

[@saintwumples4403]

Womp womp

[@SacredAlmighty]

This video was PHENONMENAL

[@antoniacorrales9148]

Masterpiece video ong

[@AndrewMarshallOfficial]

What’s crazy is drew and I went to high school together and finding out he is nuzlocking through you 🙌🏻 so sick!

[@Drew57720]

The peak gigachad energy of shotgunning a beer and then completing a deathless run of one of the hardest nuzlockes every conceived cannot be matched by ANYONE.

[@Gohka]

NGL I really struggled to get through the last like third of this video. Contemplated stopping watching multiple times because having to constantly move the volume from about 80% to hear PChal then down to 2% to not have my ear drums perforated by Prouty. Then missing what PChal is saying multiple times because I didn't realise it had gone back to him talking was all EXTREMELY annoying. Other than the horrific audio mixing it was a good video though.

[@sean493]

A cool run and insightful review but please balance the audio volumes some next time!

[@prendepa3504]

Greatest nuzlock of all time thank you for sharing this. I can’t even pass the first gym deathless in renegade platinum ( I’m a noob) but this dude did it. I have no words this dude managed something near impossible and I have no words

[@ItsTropiic]

I can’t believe this has actually been done people are always adapting I’m beyond impressed

[@zeez145]

Video was great, I just wish that the audio was better mixed, your voice is way too calm for his screams hahaha.

[@WillHouldy]

It always seems impossible until it's done. Being put into the situation meant he HAD to come up with a way to do beat it and he did. Big up to the guy what a fucking mad lad.

[@parthacharya42069]

Glad my fav starter came in clutch, being the only fire/fighting for ek was really good
