Hope y’all like watching a random dude read off trivia from a fan-made wiki page because that’s what I’m all about! If you’ve always wanted to know how to see Wolf break his own leg, that’s what we’re here for
Also I’ve finally accepted the loss of summer and the prelude of winter, but I’m going to enjoy the nice, autumnal vibes while I can. I’ll miss summer but I do love the seasonal food and smells around this time of year :)
Do people even read descriptions? I hope so… I’ve got so many helpful links in here, after all…

Hey, just wanted to warn about some extra prices for european customers. It might cost about an extra 10-12€ for the shipping, but ALSO a whopping 25€ for the customs duty. It might depend on each country but either way it ends up costing about the price of 2 boxes (32€ for a single one) But well, the deliver is still ultra fast and the products are absolutely shockingly delicious, and I do recommend the service. Only for once though, as that affording part is unfortunately what harms it :( Edit: Nothing against the video though, great as always, please never let them up ! :D

[@mattbarker97]

Only four characters for the video and a two and a half minute ad? Cmon man...

[@squirtleboiz99]

@@mattbarker97 I see it as a 2 and a half minute ad in a 16 and a half minute video. And he also pretty extensively covered the four characters he featured in the video so I’m happy. But it’s okay if you feel differently!

Wolf: What's the matter? Scared? Also Wolf: *contorts the entire left side of his body* Fox: YES! GOD YES! GET MEDICAL HELP ALREADY!

[@1samper122]

The big character models inside isabelle's net are probably only shrunk when the net is rendered (visble on screen). As soon as it disappears, the character grows back (even if it disappeared because of an intense zoom in). The same applies for the shrinking after zooming back. Game realises the net is rendered, then it shrinks the model. Makes you think what those moves would look like using invisibility.

[@mythosinfinite6736]

Afaik invisibility is a material, not an outright un-culling, so it probably wouldn't affect the characters in the net. I could be wrong, since they could have adjusted for that so that it doesn't show the weird shrunk characters.

[@ClawlessnessScizor]

It's funny how Wolf is always one of the most interesting characters animation-wise. In Brawl, it's cause his move-set was just a Chimaera of a bunch of others and in this game it's because he's just... break dancing.

[@GRaS2110]

I would love to see a stage tier list

[@Woomvee]

[@dr_rl123]

1:17 I'm the complete opposite, Toon Link's sword sounf effects are unbelievably satisfying to me to a point where I sometimes only pick him just to hear his strong sword attack sounds. There's something that hits it just right that makes me satisfied, I didn't think anyone disliked it though!

[@ranting2daMAX]

honestly. Yeah. there are plenty of characters like that, I think.

[@crybabybf1990]

I think it's like that just to poke fun of how toon link is small and his sword could just as easily be a toy.

[@YesSir-mz6ds]

I considered picking up toon link solely for the sound effect of his sword attacks. I loved hearing them!

[@DauntlessBlade___]

I would LOVE a stage background ranking as I love longer style videos. I would love to hear your opinions on them!!

[@e.m.2168]

My guess on the wolf blaster thing is that they copy pasted fox’s code to wolf as a template, and removed the smoke effect asset from wolf’s character, but forgot to remove the code that calls that effect. So, when the asset is loaded in the match, it gets used

[@fernandobanda5734]

This

[@Herobrine100x]

I would like to think that Wolf is using an extra deadly mode on his blaster specifically for Fox, and only changes it back in Squad Strike. Although why he changes it back, I don't know.

[@pinchanzo5446]

I think the toon link sounds are fitting for making him seem more cartoonish to help differentiate from young link.

[@maker0824]

Just like in Wind Waker he doesn’t really have “sword” sounds. Instead he has action sounds.

[@phypesmash6154]

I'm the opposite, I love Toon Link's sword sound effects. It fits the character quite well

[@DauntlessBlade___]

Toon links sound effects actually seem very satisfying to me personally

Toon Link's sword SFX is THE reason why I have so much fun playing as him Never understood the hate behind it tnh

[@Oretal]

I absolutely love how wolf has so much small stuff written about him.

[@maydayredd6137]

I love the wet noodle noise lol

[@keldeo05]

Man, I love the sound effects on toon Link 's sword that's why I play him over the others

[@aeresys]

13:22 My guess is that what gets shrunken down isn't hard coded, instead the game checks what part of the model clips and shrinks down everything it needs to. Since the net disappears when you zoom in far enough, maybe the game can't check if anything is clipping because the net gets disabled, thus setting the model to normal size once the frame updates

[@fernandobanda5734]

It would be insanely more difficult (and CPU intensive) to check whether something clips than simply have a defined bone-scale for each character (which is already what they do with Wario).

[@SonicTheCutehog]

Wolf's Blaster producing black smoke when Fox is in a match is due to Wolf being built off of Fox. If you modded the game to give a certain alternate costume a different effect and be in the same match as themselves, it will play the original effect rather than the new one. The move probably still shares the coding from Fox's Blaster.

[@YounesLayachi]

I could swear this was mentioned in the first smash trailer "everyone is here"

[@jazzerjaw]

I think the thing with Toon Link is how in-game they describe him as an "Anime" character. I thought the new sound effects distinguished him a lot, because it was also weird, in my opinion, that beforehand he used to have punch/kick attack sounds instead of sword ones. It helps too if you actually do watch anime, because his new sword slashes have been compared to HunterXHunter sound effects when someone gets hit, which tends to sound very airy and loose. I think that's what they were going for, not the "wet noodle" or "banana hitting a wall" deal like everyone tends to say.

[@themostop6142]

I feel like you'd have a lot of interesting things to say about the aesthetics of all the stages. I'd definitely enjoy watching a video like that.

[@botchy1694]

As an old toon link main i actually love the sound his blade makes, it's what made me pick him over link and y. link, although i main marth now sooooo

[@aceabenroth2245]

Personally I love the toon link sound effects!! They totally fit his "toon" design, and help differentiate him from the rest of the cast (and the other links, for that matter). Also, I'm gonna go against the majority here and say that they DO sound satisfying to land, but in their own way.

[@saigesmart4167]

Thats hilarious that you dont like toon links sword swipe sound, I love it, gives him such a distinct feel

[@jacksonville6803]

The sound of toon links sword sound got me to main him actually!

[@SSM24_]

For the net thing, I'm pretty certain it's just based on whether the net is currently being rendered. When you zoom in far enough the net stops being rendered, so I assume the game is like "ah, no net, no reason to shrink anything down". Also, I'd love to see a vid about the aesthetics of different stages. Also also, "speaking of Wolf disfiguring himself" is probably one of the funniest transitions you've used.

I have definitely learned a lot from this series. This is for sure one of my favorites. Thanks PKbeats!

[@firstwaddledee9182]

I would like to see a stage visual ranking personally

[@theturtleking2454]

The toon link sound effect is remedied in my opinion but hd rumble. The rumble has a lot more base and actually sells the power of each move, with the weird effect on top. Still strange why they didn’t use the wind waker sound though.

[@EtheRenard]

In Smash 4, Toon Link's sword had the Punch sound, so it was brought back in the trailer. I personally love the Ultimate version of the sword. It feels wind-ish ! But yeah, maybe the WW sounds would have work better

[@MaxWelton]

11:10 my hypothesis behind the smoke was Wolf simply switching his blaster to a more powerful mode in order to get an edge against his rival. But the only difference in power that appears in game is the smoke, since otherwise it’d be unfair.

[@SickanDaDank]

Poor wolf D:

[@cookie_jar706]

Super Metroid is an amazing game and somehow the speedruns make it even better

[@24kgoldy39]

Personnaly i fond the toon link sword sound sooooo cool its for me a great plus to the character

[@mr.pibbeds9848]

Morray Towers is my favorite stage aesthetically. I really enjoyed the city background and how no matter what variant you're playing on you can watch Ink get splatted onto the stage from the foreground, during the starting count down

[@mythosinfinite6736]

It's likely that Fox was used as the base character for Wolf, and so they left it in that Wolf's projectiles refer to one of Fox's effects by accident. Since it refers to something that Fox owns but Wolf doesn't, it can only load when Fox is loaded too. However, the effect is so small that it never got caught in development, and wasn't a priority in patching.

[@lasercraft32]

In regards to Wolf's blaster effect, they likely copied Fox as a base for Wolf's moveset, but forgot to change the graphic effect for the blaster hit. Basically all characters have character specific graphic effects, and if you tried to load those when the character isn't there it simply doesn't show the effect... so because that one bit of code that calls up the effect is still in Wolf's file (but not the graphic effect itself) it spawns the gfx when Fox is loaded in.

[@nickolias7292]

I can just imagine Miyamoto bursting through the door and shouting "WOLF'S SOLES ARE GREY'

I would definitely watch a stage tier list based on aesthetics. I don’t know if it’d be worth it for you, with the time it would take and the fact that others might not be interested in it, but I’d still love to see it happen. Love your vids. ❤

[@W1sSH]

[@David9413]

Love the idea of the blaster smoke being intentional and Wolf just brings special ammo just for Fox

[@Awesomeness-iz3dh]

The wet noodle sound effect is not only hilarious, but there's at least one less Toon Link main in the world because of it. Truly one of the best additions to Smash.

[@Zift_Ylrhavic_Resfear]

Thanks for the video :)

[@Blu_Moon_VA]

Ooh, a stage review would be awesome! My favorite stage aesthetically is P3 Mementos, I always use the omega form of it in training mode.

[@hadrian922]

noticed something with terry. if you roll to the ledge with the opponent onstage, than the opponent jumps over you, going offstage, terry will not do the ledge tetter animation, but instead will do the idle animation, and his leg will twitch strangely as it slides over the ledge

[@mooshroom4]

As for stage ranking, if you wanted to keep it shorter you could do the lower tiers and higher tiers seperated? idk just an idea, your content is very relaxing so a longer video might also get a lot of attention lol

[@FuryJack07]

7:34 pfffffffff..... Alright you got me there, I almost burst out laughing in class because of that image...

[@HottieTobby]

13:43 id assume the effect only happens when the net is loaded. and since when you zoom in, the net isnt loaded anymore, it allows the character to go back to normal the next frame

[@Leet-iz2fz]

Wolf theory: His sci-fi techno eyepatch was actually more of a monocle, enhancing his vision in his left eye. However, it provided an obvious target and his eye was eventually shot out during a ground skirmish, leading to the realistic eyepatch we have now.

[@GoldDragon20]

Pk at the end of the video be like “If I were a bad demo man, I wouldn’t be here, showing it to ya now would I?!”

[@CrimsoniteSP]

PKBeats: This sword sound is the whole reason I don't play Toon Link in this game. Me, playing Toon Link specifically for the sword sounds and nothing else: Y-yeah me uhh, me too bud.

More fun fact: the wind requiem movements are the same as a conductors in 4/4 or common time. Down to even the little spaces and swishes

[@Perdix64]

It’s just easier to make the head symmetrical when modeling, so it’s just easier to have him with both eyes than to have him with only one eye being modeled and the other without since it won’t normally be seen.

[@Randallroks]

The Megaman side tilt attack is tied to the animation of walking. So the assist trophy thinks the attack is present still. Even if the shooting portion has ended. Since walking is part of the attack and the walking still persists.

[@IAteMySink]

I feel like the black smoke for Wolf's blaster when Fox is there is probably the same error that makes Daisy's back throw make pink hearts if Peach is there

[@thomasbuchser7695]

I would love to see a video where you rank stages based on aesthetic alone

Ok aesthetic tier list is cool, also i love garecch mach monastary aesthetically, cus fire emblem

[@falpsdsqglthnsac]

i absolutely _love_ the aesthetic of omega and battlefield garreg mach monastery

[@pixelcatmagic]

11:52 they probably used fox as a base for wolf while making him and removed the code for the smoke but didn't remove the trigger or something

[@MeowModeFGC]

I like the wind waker stage on omega/bf versions because the ladder is just there for no reason

[@emberthefox4951]

I think that the reason Wolf's blaster has a smoke effect specifically around Fox is actually personal rather than code spaghetti. Perhaps he put his blaster on a higher setting out of spite for Fox, since they're still enemies. Doesn't explain why this isn't the same against Falco, but at least it justifies one.

[@Fresh_Knight]

I could see the Wolf eyepatch thing being an issue of how the model was exported and what program the model was viewed in. The no material eyeball might default to the first material in some programs (probably his body) or be rendered solid black/invisible in others

[@gmwes]

I enjoy the fun stage choices

[@stubbornwentmissing]

Do the stage aesthetics tierlist/top 115 stage aesthetics however you want to format it

[@Zinkolo]

I feel like that fits perfectly for Toon Link and his style and I much prefer it over the weird punching sounds that don't fit..

[@hioman]

Ok, so as a 3d modeler, I think I know why wolf's foot turns around for 1 frame In the victory animation. So basically, when you add animations to characters, the renderer has to figure out which direction to rotate it (for instance, will it rotate on the z axis 90⁰ clockwise, or 270⁰ counterclockwise). Usually, this is pre programmed when you add the keyfram itself. However, it is very difficult to change this if you rotate it the wrong way. My guess is, they added a new key frame 1 frame before the mistake, and another 1 frame later to make it rotate smoothly. Then much later in they would have decided to change it, and thought nobody would notice or care if they didn't change the messed up frame

[@henke37]

The smoke is a classic situation of the files for the effect being in the character specific archive for Fox and them failing to notice the effect not working when copying the character data. It's quite common to cheat QA by having the code ignore errors like this.

[@MeesterTweester]

Dang I thought Wolf's laser smoke was going to be a lore reference of him trying to defeat Fox

[@zanyskeleton5291]

[@coldbeef5356]

I think the toon link sword sfx are fun and silly just like toon link :)

[@Dark_Mario_Bros.]

Toon link's trailer slash sound,sounds more like punches than sword slashes imo

[@nutmegdoesstuff1339]

I feel like wolf's blaster isn't supposed to have the smoke, because rather than being a heat based lazer like fox's it's more of a condensed electrical attack.

[@yourdemiseishere]

Wolf sets his blaster to be more violent when fox is around. It hurts more, with no more actual damage. I'm guessing that's what the devs thought when they found it and decided to keep it, cuz you dont just make an effect test it and see the effect doesn't show.

[@GrouchyGander]

Controversial opinion: Great Cave Offensive is my fave stage both aesthetically and gameplay-wise. I love the stages that have a lot of things to interact with and cause chaos and that stage is chock-full of them, as well as being huge for extra shenanigans.

[@4137Swords]

I love that stage too! Not only is it a great callback and well translated from Kirby Super Star, I think it's super fun and unique!

[@kirbyof590stars]

Yes, it’s very faithful to the original game but here’s the thing: *It doesn’t translate well into Smash.* Look at Mario Bros. or 75m. They’re well recreated but translating a level from a different game into a platform fighter rarely turns out well.

[@thethebobb1528]

I main toon link, and at the time of watching this video, I was practicing some TLink combos. The ‘wet noodle’ honestly kinda makes sense, giving the slash a cartoony type of effect, similar to the ones in Minish Cap, another game where link is pretty cartoonish

[@katamichi8003]

It's not extremely notable but Ness and Lucas can hesitate activating the assist trophy by holding PSI magnet.

[@nikodabos]

this sponsor looks hella good ngl

[@fl0_hrl]

Did you know the blade on Wolf's blaster works and has a hit box. If an opponent finds its way just about the blade they'll get hurt.

[@TSMSnation]

if i had to guess, wolfs blaster is probably copy pasted from fox, so the smoke effect it still there, but the graphics for it aren't loaded. so when it appears you don't see anything. fox pools the effect so its there to be used. that actually gives me an idea how to optimize things for my own game.

[@NUTSMASHER8000]

new pork city is my absolute favorite map in terms of aesthetic, it probably has something to do with the circus theme and the mostly purple palette and about the wolf comment, i agree entirely. not saying which wolf comment. but i agree

[@Vonteir007]

I feel like the Pirate Ship fits the most
