[@omni6708]

These long form tournament recaps are easily my favorite Wolfey content. They are amazingly balanced between in-depth and accessible that makes me feel like I am actually learning more about the competitive scene and it can be fun to play along mentally and try to predict the choices that the players make in the games. Also the work that has been put into remaking the match scenes to visualize the voiceover is amazing. The effort is super appreciated as it would be incredibly difficult to follow along with just the voice over.

[@evrynameis_takn]

I couldn't agree more! It was the length of a movie and I still want to see more! For someone who's just getting in to VGC seeing the way he processes decisions and predictions is so incredibly helpful

[@PtylerBeats]

He’s not remaking the matches, though. He’s just pulling the footage from the stream. Or am I just stupid? I’m pretty sure he’s just making a voiceover and then taking the games from the stream and editing the footage to match the pace of the voiceover

[@evrynameis_takn]

@@PtylerBeats a few matches are from stream but you can't record your matches so he or his editing team has to recreate them afterwards based on his notes. It seems like a LOT of work

[@undeniablySomeGuy]

Wolfe gets a few games from the stream, but most games are not streamed in any given tournament. Wolfe Glick is important, but not so important to get all his games, even day 1 games, onto the stream. If they were all just streamed, he wouldn’t need to be taking the notes he uses to make these videos. Note that the games where he talks about having not taken notes have less granular detail, even though they still have recreations.

They're a close second to my favorite content. Which are the insane Kaizo's. The pressure and payoff/losses are just so entertaining.

[@vitorluiz7538]

I like how the story of finding a team for the tournament isn't about Wolfe staring at the Pokédex for 100 hours but instead bouncing ideas off his friends and fellow competitive players. After all, isn't that-the bonds of friendship and teamwork-the core of the Pokémon story?

[@albertonishiyama1980]

Not just that, but knowing what he had to ask from anyone to get the best results. Going Jaden and Alpharad to seek a off meta pick, PM7 to seek a strong pick on the meta, THE DUDE WHO MADE A WHOLE PHD ABOUT THE IV SPREADS OF ONE POKEMON IN A NIGHT...

I would say even if the white herb “didn’t do it’s job” (and only popped once) it still did it’s job by totally deterring the use of taunt on the amoongus. Sure you don’t get the wasted turn bc they know it’s there but that still means you never have a taunted amoongus.

[@raysay1818]

Honestly for real! I would assume some if not many of the players had taunt and wanted to use it against amoonguss but their knowledge of the herb stopped them from even bothering to use it. Instead of preventing one use of taunt it stopped most usage of taunt overall which gives it significantly more value than it first appears. definitely wasn't a waste to have.

[@Mrkingtortle]

[@TheJuicyTangerine]

The biggest takeaway here that I have of what gives Wolfey the "world champion difference" is that Wolfey is really good at looking at a matchup, and identifying his win-condition, and playing to that win-condition. This is different from beginning VGC players who look at battles from a turn by turn basis of "what is the best position I can be in next turn" whereas Wolfey is thinking about "what is the position I want to try to get to in 5 turns?" This win-condition is typically some game state where the opponent has certain things on the field that cannot beat Wolfey's things on the field. Specifically we can see that Wolfey doesn't lose a single game against Dondozo-Tatsugiri because as soon as he sets up with terra grass iron hands + amoongus on the field against powered Dondozo, the opponent has gone all in, and Wolfey can just follow a flowchart and win the game. I think in the game against dondozo with a glimmora, the win con for the opponent was probably to make sure iron hands was poisoned before pulling out Dondozo. This is why the turn where Wolfey brings out Amoongus to absorb toxic spikes was so crucial. The team comp where Wolfey lost 3 times to definitely doesn't seem unbeatable at all, and I think Wolfey is absolutely right in that if he had more prep to explicitly study that matchup, he'd probably be able to at least lower the amount of variance that he ultimately have. In Wolfey's analysis, I think the "wincon" for that matchup is a lot more nebulous, or at least he still doesn't understand it (although honestly pretty much 99% of the viewers won't be able to figure it out either without extensive testing)

Maushold is definitely good, but honestly I think you could consider the amoonguss for a bit longer. When someone leads Annihipale Maushold I think "They're beating up Annihilape," but when someone leads Annihilape Amoonguss I definitely do not think "They're bullet seeding Annihilape." Having a surprise factor like that is honestly super powerful

[@crarlo]

that does sound pretty good but i think the fact that it takes amoonguss needs 224 speed ev with a speed boosting nature to outspeed min speed ape hurts the strategy a lot, since the mushroom loses a lot of its bulk due to that much speed investment and the monkey can easily be outsped and ko’ed before it could land its rage fist

​@crarlo just get the quick Claw proc everytime u bullet seed e z skill issue

[@susie222]

Wolfeys videos are the PERFECT background noise for sleeping and revision

[@jwanie366]

Looking forward to seeing how you do at NAIC next weekend. I know you’re gonna be trying as hard as possible to get that Day 2 Invite!

[@1000Tomatoes]

Given his track record, the effort he put into pronouncing vivillon is appreciated

[@Code001u]

1:05:37 I love Wolfey's reaction when his Ting-Lu survived LOL

[@Smallsmallrose]

I love how he gets viewers so hooked on every little decision that I was like "Oh no" when he said the Hotel didn't have any Bananas for breakfast.

Dude, I'm 30 minutes in and this vid is amazing. Super good editing your ability to tell the story is amazing. Congrats on this vid, hoping you won the tournament :)

[@sticksna]

I know this video is old but I really enjoyed the deep dive into the whole process, from team building to an almost day to day look at the life of a VGC player leading up to a tourney. This content was awesome and definitely something I enjoyed watching, thanks for making it!

[@Viviantoga]

I'm constantly unnerved and feeling like I'm in danger every time I hear Wolfey mispronounce Vivillon.

[@dimonutive]

You're too nervous to eat berries?

[@meat8768]

It's actually the official way to pronounce it lel

[@MarkHogan994]

It's literally the correct pronunciation considering it's supposed to be French. I mean his intonation and stuff is goofy obviously (deliberately), but the actual pronunciation is correct.

[@Viviantoga]

Lo have we all forgotten the days of "Weenisaur"

[@pueohoot543]

Wow Thank you Wolfey, Zack, PM7, Dylon and your entire team , this exactly what the community has been missing

[@nhh_41]

this is truly a vivion moment

[@2wing141]

Love how smooth the script and the editing is. Wolf always has the word champ difference

[@ghoum56]

Am I missing something tho, Wolfey wanted to place at least 8th then got 3rd it seems like? What a humble dude, and very impressive especially considering how it started!

[@ghanoushba5366]

It was only a mistake cause he missed the T swift concert 😂

[@spongeb27]

WTAF WOLFE WHEN DID YOU HIT A MIL?! Congrats man, i know thats been a major thing for you for as long as i can remember! I swear you were at 500k a couple months ago? Can't think of a more deserving fella though :) Edit: wow and Social Blade real time sub count says you just hit EIGHTY one million, you really have been busy 😳

[@fiora2822]

[@alex-2901]

[@mantawave1134]

@@alex-2901cp also stands for child p*rn

[@skylwer]

Man I usually don't watch super long videos on KZbin but I watched this all the way through. Great video Wolfey. Your content has so much effort put into it.
