Invictus - Best Blind Playthrough Moments [SMW Kaizo Hack]

[@jonopens]

One of my favorite things about the SMW romhack community is the direct association of the cruelty of a kaizo trick or section to its creator. It's not 'fu¢k you, Invictus!', it's 'fu¢k you, Juz!' Really shows off how well the community knows itself. I love that! BTW: I hope this kind of video becomes a thing that creators do now. Brilliant idea that's good for the hack and the players!

1:06:05 - Easily my favorite reaction. You can see Poo's spidey senses tingling when he got to the jump immediately assuming there to be a kaizo block and rationalizing that there couldn't be one.

[@heilmanjosendal]

Why did people call you a liar for putting that Kaizo block at the end? You clearly said NO Kaizo blocks, which is plural. So putting in only ONE is not being a liar, but being a genius troll. Great video and thank you for making this awesome hack. Well done Juz!

[@Kawdek]

Not how grammar works in the English language. I agree that the block was geniusly placed and was a perfect troll, but “No ____” does mean not a single one.

[@rubeadame]

Really liked how Ryu and Barb laughed every time they died, both had the best reactions.

[@Jack_80]

[@Raaampage]

@PlaceOfOrigin I agree that it's sometimes boring when you hear him blaming the game. That guy who said that insult had he really censored himself, he'd had said anything ^_^

[@Raaampage]

@PlaceOfOrigin To be honest I'm glad someone doesn't swear. Because literaly everywhere in the english streaming community you can hear "fucking" punctuating every and each sentence, it's like a disease that no one can get rid off :/ And it's mostly an english, or I'd rather say a non-french (because I can't say for other languages) habit to swear *that* often ! Well that's just my thought on this lol I don't watch that much Juz, I watch primarily GrandPooBear. And when Dode puts on a video I watch it. From time to time I look at channels like Juz's, Ryukahr's, Panga's, Barb's... and that's it :) And to me Dode is the best ^^

[@josephmullenberg4205]

@@Raaampage Ryu does a decent job of not swearing constantly, though. He swears, but certainly not as much as GPB.

[@josephmullenberg4205]

@PlaceOfOrigin Lol Barb blames the game a lot too though. Though I agree Dode does even more. I must say it's nice that Dode has a PG stream so at least someone in the kaizo community can watch if they're parents are watching or whatever. Though for Dode to take that upon himself isn't anything he needs to do, nor maybe should.

[@shroomie108]

Dodes skill is undeniable at this point. But I prefer to watch other streamers like poo, Carl, ryu, and barb.

[@melodyrams6313]

You know it is a great hack when all of the cries of "NOOOOOO!" and the curses are accompanied by laughter. This feels enjoyable to play just by feeling it through the streamers' reactions. 3 years old, and this is still one of the most entertaining SMW hacks; it is an absolute joy to watch. 2022 could really use something like this please.

[@Torlonus]

I love the reaction to the Kaizo Block. You were technically telling the truth because there were no hidden blocks plural but there was one hidden block singular. For your next hack you need to say there are three invisible blocks in the entire game, the first two are Kaizo Blocks but the third is very hidden so they'll be on edge waiting for the third block to get them.

[@godlyvex5543]

Nah, I think it'd detract from the experience. If they spend the whole game waiting for a kaizo block they'll never find, it won't be some "OH MY GOD" moment, it'll just be like "oh, okay, I guess I must've just accidentially avoided the third one." The only way anybody would even notice that the third one was hidden is if somebody specifically told them, and even then it'd just be an underwhelming moment. The game would definitely just be worse if that gag specifically was included. If another one was thought of it might work, but I'm not sure another hidden block gag is what is needed.
