Kaclang! (A polka about the greatest move in Smash Bros)

[@moversti92]

This isn't polka. It's metal!

[@TheNorfAndOnly]

Eh, seems like this is fire to me.

[@mattwo7]

He never stopped being Brawl in the Family. Brawl in the family simply evolved past webcomics into something more.

[@J.Blazer]

He wasn't in his final form

[@Kirbun]

So it's Rock Paper Scissors: Giant Meteor beats Metal Slash Kaclang beats Giant Meteor Metal Slash beats Kaclang

[@HairyHariyama]

"Giant Meteor beats Metal Slash" In other words, rock crushes scissors.

[@pointypointypointy-pin]

is lang being paper is crazy

[@stevejohnson1078]

I love how as the song progresses it shifts from detailing how "KACLANG" prevents physical damage to showing situations of emotional distress, and then regardless of the hero's prior emotional state once "KACKLANG!"'d they are completely fine with that cheeky grin. Especially in the line "Dad never returned" where the vocals actually waver a bit showing emotion yet it is still met with the same "KACLANG!". Also unrelated but the mocking tone in "two weeks left to live" combined with the fucking loss doctor is absolutely hysterical. Phenomenal video

No way you snuck loss into this lol

What? Where?!

1:29 I think, if not just the hospital scene at 1:35

[@marxtrash]

I love that you actually wrote the letter to the DQ3 protag. (For those who can't get the pause timing right, it reads: Dear Son, Sorry I gotta jet. But if I don't, you'd never be able to star in the most bomb-diggety 8-bit RPG ever. Even better than Mother. Anyways, don't equip any cursed junk. I love you always. Off to slay Baramos.)

[@speensro413]

“Don’t equip any cursed junk” Ironic. Anyone who has tired a Solo Run of DQ3 knows VERY WELL that one of the Cursed Items is busted (Noh Mask)

[@skyeschlueter9877]

Kaclang is the funniest matchup check in Smash history. 99 times out of 100 you'll eat a big punish for using it... If your opponent knows the timing. Otherwise, you get away scot free about half of the time, and it's always so funny when when both you and your opponent assume you're gonna die and you just don't.

[@clarenceandgennymcneil251]

Love how his voice wavered during “Dad’s not coming home?”

[@humblebee5575]

You know, I never made the connection myself, but the fact that you take a lot of inspiration from Weird Al is... Unsurprising.

[@HairyHariyama]

I always thought The History of Nintendo had influences from one or two Weird Al songs.

[@ΧρυσηΠολιτου-ψ4ε]

TRA-LA-LAAAAAA

[@DeadweightLKS]

I love that the ending suggests the singer has only bought one DLC character just to use this one move

[@pk_sapphire]

Everybody knows that every Hero main's greatest asset is their gambling addiction.

[@ColasAlgo]

OH, GOD, I LOOOVE THIS SONG. I have heard it so many times in my head I've realised the hidden Dragon Quest theme in 0:40

[@a-s-greig]

I... you're correct. That's one of the recurring themes.

[@KobianoRoll]

Kaclangs most satisfying use is timing it just right to block a fucking FINAL SMASH

[@tailgrowth]

1:36 "Dear Son, Sorry I gotta jet. But if I don't, you'd never be able to star in the most bomb-diggety 8-bit RPG ever. Even better than Mother. Anyway, don't equip any cursed junk. I love you always. Off to slay Baramos. - Ortega"

The character select screen is art

[@snuffy2553]

It's originally from his twitter

[@planetboxsaturnia3686]

It also shows up in the Waluigi book if you want to appreciate every detail

[@OmegaChase1002]

he forgot sora

[@ridiculicious]

​@@OmegaChase1002The other DLC fighters are missing too, but you only need one character to be honest.

[@Creativehandle908]

[@tygamike]

The loss panel hit me like a brick

[@skapokonroll]

I wonder if Banjo holding a sword in 1:09 is a reference to how he was originally going to have one in Dream (the game that eventually became Banjo-Kazooie)

[@malcolmlloydandrileyproduc6451]

Hey look

[@joniejoon2]

That's a lot of effort on a character select screen that shows up for 3 seconds

[@BitFinityGames]

I cheated a little and borrowed it from my Waluigi book!

[@jonnoark]

@@BitFinityGames I have that select screen as my computer background. Would love to see a new one sometime with all the DLC characters added!

[@MeesterTweester]

@@BitFinityGames oh so that's why it's base roster

[@idkany293]

I was gonna say that it comes from Waluigi Time but... Matty already said it haha

[@ShimmeringVapidCoal]

@@BitFinityGamesYou copy and pasted? :P

[@Stachebro12]

I love the out of pocket dragon quest series callbacks. Erdricks dad not returning killed me

[@liamfunnyman6965]

I knew Weird Al was inspiration for this one before I even read the description. Who doesn't love Weird Al?

[@richtersundeen6105]

I like all the Dragon Quest 4, 5, 8, and probably other references I missed here. Always hoping that more people play Dragon Quest, especially 5.

[@BitFinityGames]

Awesome series. The DQ5 Hero really gets put through the wringer.

[@ThePhantomOtaku]

I finally understand what I've been doing wrong my entire life .

[@SpazzerMcFly]

You think kaclang coulda stopped Galeem’s death blast? Him and Kirby would be the only survivor’s

[@ErakirPompop]

Ortega's letter at 1:36 is gold~

[@eraykaan]

its like he never left

[@gastonEGGS]

the 23 GSP is too real.

[@notreallythere477]

At this rate, Matt's just one album of sad-horny Mega Man 2 covers away from being the western version of Hyadain, and I am here for it.

[@alexbluecyndaquil]

"If the Bowser you're fightin' doesn't have the mental capacity to count to 5, you can strategically use (KACLANG) to get a free punish" Ever since I got the first fighters pass Hero has been an instant favorite! My best friend and I would go online as double Hero, spam command select and quote How to Hero by Albino (Now I got another Hero video to quote endlessly with him!) Also the references to the other Dragon Quest games + Loss was just the cherry on top. This song is incredible!

[@stealthlock6634]

I missed your entire style and singing voice and everything. This is so cool to see, even if it isn’t like a full comeback or anything.

[@harrisonmoore3841]

If this was on old KZbin, this video would get over 1 million views

[@cetadel6597]

You can take the family out of the brawl...

[@alessandroblanco699]

1:29 wait this sequence is loss

[@sicklysweetdenouement]

Friendship ended with Hocus Pocus, Kaclang is my new friend now. We're having soft tacos later.

[@wootmasterzorsx]

I could hear you starting to break into giggles with the end bits. And the end bits really were the funniest part.

[@dew7555]

To win a match you just need a statue is the greatest rhyme ive heard this year.

[@amyviscous]

close enough, welcome back brawl in the family

[@simplyeyeronic1443]

The dude who only uses kaclang is stuck at 23 gsp because the dude who uses only metal slash is stuck at 24

[@Pando-whatisthisfor]

I feel like a child again listening to this

[@ImmacHn]

I was 100% expecting the Metal Slash, and it was still funny.

[@darksim0]

1:40 I recognize that musical staff!

[@psychicknight7255]

Ah, you never cease to be great, don't you? I guess that's what does having talent, time, passion and KA-CLANG! But now seriously, I'm glad that you quality has never downgraded since I discovered your works first with Brawl In the Family!

[@MopeyToapy]

Imagine trying to get back on stage and then here spikes You with KaClang and wins the match

[@TheNorfAndOnly]

If only it actually spiked…

[@MopeyToapy]

@@TheNorfAndOnly Nah, It not spiking but essentially just dragging someone down with it is even more disrespectful

[@abbitato]

all the dragon quest series references really make this

[@vaporcranberries]

The Kaclang propaganda has worked, next time I play Hero I’m using Kaclang.

[@EdwardoFE]

when in doubt, klang it out

[@beaksters]

It’s like how I refuse to not use greninja side b

[@MSCDonkeyKong]

Kaklang is pretty good but my personal favorite move is Jab 1 because nobody who plays Smash ever sees somebody pick Hero on the character select screen so that they can spam jab.

[@LamanKnight]

So, at 1:33 I think I see a reference to the final two panels of "Loss." Now I'm trying to see if there are any subtle references to the first two panels in this video.

[@josecorzo5517]

1:29

[@mastersword3688]

I love these small musicals.

[@Decidukip]

Kaclang was said 29 times

[@dat_lamp]

Ka-clang is always there for me until the other Hero rolls Metal Slash.

[@felixdeplanques3614]

*Kaclang !*

[@painters04]

Dragon Quest XI is such a freaking good game.

[@kyltredragmire4939]

It immediately became my all-time favorite game.

[@BitFinityGames]

Yeah, my love of DQXI is why I went with Eleven as the main guy here.

[@heyoyo10gaming4]

@@BitFinityGames It's funny because Eleven's home is overthrown _and_ overgrown _and_ his dad won't be returning, so the parts for the other Heroes also work

[@samcandles]

Personally I think the greatest move is Kamikazee, but I guess that song would be too short

[@averygwyn1857]

The fricking Weird Al doo-doo-doo doodoo doo doo at the end.

[@stnfwds]

Just realized this video is our first time (properly) seeing BitF Kirby ever since the comic finished! I was wondering what about this song was so special that it felt the most ‘classic BitF’ style to me, turns out I rlly missed Matthew’s interpretation of all the smash cast

1:03 Somehow, I can't see Bianca being too enthused about statues...

[@SilvanianPirateKing]

I'm a sonic main and can confirm I'll stalemate by just running around. Might get some good homing attack practice.

[@SonicDestroyer12]

A good defense is the best offense sometimes. Ironize (sorry, *KACLANG* ) is a solid spell for sure.

[@JediSteve-J3-]

[@chriscaseybrown5587]

(reading from a piece of paper) Ka-Clang! Use it in the air!

[@browncow5210]

Hmm, I wonder who has the most cursed picture on that character select scr-PALUTENA WHY!? Fun fact is that DQ 11 has a team move where one character gets thrown at high speed and Kaglanged in mid air to slam into the enemy at high speed. Also Jade jumps on his back and rides him General Tao style.
