Hey that's me

It is. It is you.

Thats crazy

[@Maelthorn1337]

Hey its you.

[@blob4477]

Oh yeah cool

[@radicard5193]

congrats on the Panda signing btw

Alternate title: how EE saved Apex (by doing nothing)

[@PeeperSnail]

EE Wins By Doing Absolutely Nothing

[@acetrainerben]

can't wait for EE's "I PULLED THE FIRE ALARM AT APEX 2015" video lmao

[@der_Stoff]

Story-Time-Coney is my favorite Coney and it's not close

[@Rabbit-the-One]

You've never met Spider Coney or Alphabetize Coney or sort-of-to-the-left Coney, have you? I mean, I believe it over Grey Coney or Cooper Coney for sure, but you certainly haven't met them all yet and will surely find a greater favorite flavor Coney.

[@7k_VNix]

I like Count Subula the best

[@nero7862]

Story time coney > smash coney

[@Kaz999998]

@@Rabbit-the-One Nah, Storytime Coney is better than those. It's not even close.

[@robertmeneguzzo235]

This would be a fun tl

[@turkeybiskit647]

Big takeaway here is that Coney beat Void

[@jejetube7667]

Even matchup :Drake: Lost set was a _very_ close one

[@fg7496]

As a Secaucus native and someone who lived there when Apex 2015 happened, this is actually insane. The parking garage collapsing was definitely an unfortunate event, but it was also a blessing in disguise. Sparked major changes to that area of the town that were seriously needed. And yes, that hotel is thankfully closed and it was long overdue when it finally happened.

[@fg7496]

I do remember being out that day and seeing an absurd amount of cars in the area as well which puzzled me, but seeing why now is crazy.

[@AiakosVids]

My favorite Apex fire alarm conspiracy theory is that it was a wannabe good samaritan who realized that the hotel was in no state to hold the event and wanted to stop things and alert the authorities before something else happened. Maybe there's an alternate timeline where the hotel itself collapsed and killed 600 people; we'll never know.

[@nauticalmoon2109]

Coney: “I have the idea that you guys know everything about the scene” Also Coney, two seconds later: “we had a world circuit?”

[@Cheeseomlett1234]

Apex 2015 was my first major. Getting crunk in the dilapidated hotel running up and down the halls yelling for melee was a highlight of my smash career

[@SDfighter1]

Lmao

[@snailcakes9119]

My mans was crunk writing this comment

[@kiddinme4128]

Its amazing to learn that my favorite content creator, coney, was at ground zero of many bad things happening in smash. He is like the smash forest jump

[@WiiCON-49000]

Fellas: Uncle Coney! Tell us a story! Coney: I got just the thing. Ever heard of APEX2015?

[@CONEYZZ]

How do YOU think the fire alarm got triggered at Apex 2015? 🤔💭

It was definitely Chillin's fire bars.

[@christianmayonove6914]

Coney is the modern day Forrest Gump. Always in the right place at the right time, history being made right in front of his eyes.

[@GCplus9162]

If 5 years ago I told people that Nintendo would shut down a big house tournament for melee as well as canceling a splatoon match cuz there team supported melee they would laugh at me It’s actually insane how they got Nintendo to sponsor this after what happened in 2013 as well as what they’re doing now

[@FalseHerald]

I remember following this live with some PM buddies. There was a lot of "PM died for this" going on with the splatoon demos which turned into pure schadenfreude once everything started hitting the fan.

[@jasonwalker4003]

schadenfreude is such a dope word. love to see it in the wild.

[@threethej_rock]

THE YOUNG VOID STORY LMAOOOOOO

[@ballisticboo7808]

As someone who only realized a competitive scene existed in late Smash 4, I love Smash Bros History class with coney

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I love hearing about the melee scene from the yard and this stuff. What a fucking ride it is to hear about how fucking Degen melee players are!

[@Ryleeman54number2]

Lol you haven't even scratched the surface

[@AbsoPS]

@@Ryleeman54number2 yessir

[@ki7roy]

when you say the yard do you mean ludwig/slime/nick/aimen’s podcast? if so you should watch the smash bros documentary if you haven’t. it’s on youtube and is very very entertaining as well as being a great introduction to the early melee scene.

[@GATESOFKELL]

we need I SURVIVED APEX 2015 shirts

[@ddsmagic2806]

When Coney saw EE, I cackled 😂

[@RichardBlaziken]

Coney deserves more subs, this man is mad funny

[@epicness877]

I watched this ahead of time since I was excited to hear about this, but this still had some entertainment for me anyways so ty content man 😌

[@HeyitsCamden]

I went to Apex 2013 and 2014 and had a fantastic time even though the events were run so badly. I passed on going to 2015 and I'm glad I did. From all accounts at the time it sounded like a nightmare.

[@core6831]

EE really said “I wanna be in the room where it happens.”

[@judicia_alt1792]

After I watched the Olympus video I got the Apex 2015 one in my recommended, I thought CONEY will probably do this, but I’m bored so I’ll watch it

[@adinv9257]

Story time coney is the best

[@MiQuentin]

Coney you’re so good at content :)

[@workernetZX]

Can't wait for the next: In reality the worst tournament was... And some even more messed up shit happened

[@nexonus9513]

This was a very fun stream to be at

[@matthewbrumbeloe4090]

I think Olympus might actually be a bit worse than this one because it literally didn’t even finish. Like it has to be the worst feeling ever to drive in from out of state, get to top 32 and then be told that it’s over. Apex was at least able to finish out and some hype sets were played.

[@ALLHA1LSHAD0W]

just waiting for this vod to be posted bcuz i wanna see your full reaction to that video lol

[@alexhayward2415]

i watch every video coney

[@gnomebliterator903]

the funnies thing about this by far is the fact that tdfw literally works for Panda

[@collin9871]

saw this live but still gonna like and comment to bump

[@TioGDX]

I'm still upset that I flew from Florida to New Jersey in the dead of winter to go to a tournament that was somehow worse than CoT4 AND AT THE SAME TIME miss the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks.

[@jasonwalker4003]

that's rough, jersey is not kind to warm weather folks

[@buncules6842]

The SilverScapes bit is NO QUESTION the best bit on the coney stream bar NONE

[@adinv9257]

Great music choice

[@givinhecks5950]

Coney why are you able to make story time so grand

[@kausly]

I hade half the screen hidden and saw someone else and thought they were EE lmao

[@trevorwoodstock3374]

Idk if you care but sprinkler systems don’t have smoke detectors in the sprinklers themselves. The fire marshal typically has to come to reset large alarms. So to say that the fire marshal pulled it or that the same person that pulled it had already contacted the fire marshal probably isn’t the case

[@kidneystones3578]

Ngl sometimes I get sad when I rewatch a video and I see I already liked it so I can't do it again

[@wrenren2112]

Man, what a glorious disaster.

[@Thee_Gorgonzola]

What I got from this is that EE saved Apex 2015

[@BJfurball]

Take a shot every time he says “it only gets worse” and have a great time

[@DXGraveman]

Coney saw respect your elders live, that’s insane

[@dfed324]

Man, hearing about Chillin's stroke a few days ago and then getting this recommended in my feed.......bummer man.

[@ntwrk56]

Love me some story time content

[@omryTKD]

WATCHING EVERY VIDEO,EVEN TWICE!! SUBSCRIBED! SMASHED THAT BELL ICON TO NEVER MISS A NOTIFICATION, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER LOYAL FAN SHOULD, god bless content man

[@anonymous7024]

that victory music at 16:49

[@Hitmonchu]

I said this on the last video but I was on the floor that flooded and likely was the cause of the fire alarm getting tripped; What I heard both at the venue and later on was that someone hung up a towel on the sprinkler but I'd also 100% believe that it was caused by hotboxing. An obscene ganja smell permeated the whole hotel

[@Smashfan258]

The start of the video stayed frozen for a moment and by looking at his face…….. I knew the FELLAS was coming

[@Undead25_]

Fellas!

[@wadecarroll3572]

I love these smash disaster stories

I remember this tournament. It was the worst, lol I was on the sidewalk when the parking garage fell apart 😂

I feel like Coney is like where's Waldo. You can find the fucker in ever image of some legendary smash moment.

[@isur4k]

Silver Scrapes made me laugh out loud

14:17 That’s a great remix

[@MachuPichucp11]

I think that’s actually respect your elders lmao

I find it funny Apex 2015 was how I got into smash

[@mangaprofilepicture5820]

This all reminds me of apes and how they’re 4-9 times stronger than that if an average human

[@chiptasty6231]

I wish I could mute the music and just listen to coney

I was like 12/13 watching all this shit happened. Smash used to be my life

[@michaelbuckley3898]

EE added racial humor in that room lol

[@DemonGiraffe95]

Wasn't Apex 2015 also the tournament where the Japanese players were transported in a U-Haul/box truck or was that a different one?

[@Santa-qz2mu]

Lol what

[@LuigiLitoLL]

Was actually APEX 2010 (maybe 2012 too but that one is alleged, 2010 was confirmed by the driver). First time International players were coming to play in tournament. IDK if they were trying to sneak pass VISA issues but yeah they rode in Uhaul trucks to their hotels.

[@VictorGonzalez-xv1hj]

100% winrate agaisnt VoiD? Surely never to be replicated in Multiversus

[@byrontheusurper6505]

Did he say melee or beyblade at 0:30 ? I know which one it is of course but it sounds so weird!

[@PotofGlue]

Have you heard of Bad things happening to Good people? In 2 weeks this wont even be close to the worst tournament ever

[@alansmithee920]

Wheres the video about pound? (pound 5 I think you said?)

[@davidnichol4735]

Coney: "I have no idea what happened!" Also Coney: "I heard someone was hotboxing in the the room, and there was a towel..." Your secret is safe with us
