20:57 The best part about that Shulk one is that it actually uses monado tech lmao. Something to do with cancelling the wheel as you die/by dying, allows you to use a move the instant you respawn instead of being forced to let the platform lower all the way. So he backslashed from the very top of the screen for maximum style.

[@Subpar1O1]

10:24 I always feel bad for Rhum in that clip. 16's self destruct has such a specific hitbox and if Lythero wasn't near the corner he probably would have whiffed the SD

[@YokaiSteve]

It has nothing to do with the hitbox dummy, 16 is fully invul so the level 1 passes through him and he gets grabbed on recovery.

[@Ramsey276one]

10:20 16: I F***ED up... Hit: Hold my Stance!

[@CaptainCFalcon]

​@@YokaiStevewell actually, it's cause of how Hit's level 1's hitbox actually works. It travels in a straight line on the the ground, & because 16 actually _jumps_ during the animation, Hit doesn't collide with him so he actually passes under 16 in that singular moment.

[@YokaiSteve]

@@CaptainCFalcon That's not the case at all "actually", but commenting on a post 7 months ago is pretty pathetic.

[@CaptainCFalcon]

@@YokaiSteve wow, it's like time continues & people find old content at a later time. Crazy how that works, right? And yeah, actually it fucking IS. I know cause I actually PLAY Hit & everytime he runs into someone's hurtbox during invuln frames, or if they block, Hit bounces off of them. The only way Hit could possibly go IN FRONT of 16 is because hits actual character model disappears during that super & he passes under, because Hit will travel the full length of the hitbox when a character jumps over it. Since they were in the corner, Hit ends up stopped inside the corner, able to be grabbed by 16. What's fucking pathetic is just boldly claiming to be right when you're wrong, & instead of providing any evidence, just saying "lol imagine joining a comment thread [a set amount of time] after it was first made."

[@Saxdude26]

"GeT iN ThE cAaAaAaR" That Jann Lee Jingle is so freaking entertaining. XD As a casual player, seeing clips I RECOGNISE is astounding. But seeing a sentient saxophone play happy birthday ON A TRUMPET while pulling off a happy birthday is LITERALLY the kind of bonkers content I live for!

[@lycanfenris8727]

What happened during the slomo Tekken clip was that both fighters, at the edge of death, went to strike each other. Time slows down for dramatic effect to see who hits to other person first, and the slow down lasts as long as both animations. Because the grenade throw animation was so long, the slow mo lasted forever, thus leading to the Casual Messatsu.

[@christo_unlimited]

For those that don't know, the way that Smash Ultimate Shulk clip works is that Shulk can store startup frames for moves with the Arts Pallet, allowing for Frame One moves. as Shulk fell, the player stored the Backslash startup so that they could Backslash the moment they respawned. And as the name suggests, Backslash deals 2x damage from behind, AND most of shulks mobes get more damage at the base of the Monado (the red part, not the Blue Beam)

Heyo! Editor of this vid here! No, it wasn't Bruno that did this one (but you can probably guess where the inspiration comes from) So, a few fun tidbits that did and didn't make the video, as well as a mistake I want to clear up. To start off, I was informed that the Pokchop clip was NOT from Summer Jam that week, but from the Cherry Blossom tourney in Georgia back in March this year. The tweet in the vid was deleted, so trying to find the source of it went cold and I had gone from another vid (which Pokchop retweeted from the thread), but from a different angle and went off of that. My sincerest apologies for the mistake there. - 23 out of the 26 clips in this vid are all from their respective sources. The only salvaged one is the SF5 Ryu Mirror Dance. Even though the YT stream is no longer available, to my knowledge, only ONE OTHER SITE has the episode of the match. - After the glass shattering in the GeoffTheHero part, there was going to be a few fake twitlongers and "You're going to Twitter" kinda stuff in the background. Of course, to me, that'd probably be a bit too much. - There WAS another clip that unfortunately didn't make it, which was a Strive match with ChiliLion's Potemkin and the Art of Mashing. - I've been seeing this a lot, but the sounds during the King grab chain and the Ping Crimson parts are the Jet Set Radio spray sounds. - Yes, most of the background music is from Yakuza/Like a Dragon. It was hella fun to do and I'm overwhelmed by the praise here, Twitter and also in Twitch chat. Thank you all.

I don't know how much Max pays his editor, but it's not enough. Man's a goddamn editing genius.

[@Portsl]

Chris Tucker playing Dead or Alive XD 3:00

[@Guile_The_Exile]

18:42 That He-Man pizza clip actually killed me lmfao

[@TheRADRAD]

Nearly half an hour of Max reacting to just random FGC clips is like a Max Reacts x50. I am so in for this bottomless well of content.

[@ericgagnon6594]

5:55 Chris Jericho : that the best facebuster ive ever seen

[@Reineerus_The_Rat]

That Happy Birthday clip is FOUL. Thats just straight up murder

[@OneTrueBelmont]

14:12 -- Shoutout to the editors for the choice of Monken's Beeper (the song from Yakuza: Like a Dragon) for use as a warning.

[@AmuroNT1]

I always loved how someone made a fanart of the "What are you standing up for?!" moment, which showed Millia doing the arms-up victory pose with Woshige's name written on the "license plate" on her hat.

[@sya_elexeor1058]

I need to see this

[@TheXtremeBoltGuy]

I need to see that fanart XD

[@GreenShellShock]

I just love watching Max laugh and the editors went above and beyond. This is so much fun and it feels good to watch something as simple as a reaction video given so much care.

[@nethstar]

11:29 Technically not "set up", but it was something they do. i swear during the tourney they said the two play each other a LOT and do this stuff all the time and like to put on a show for viewers. This was like... the 2nd/3rd time they did it during the tourney which is why you had the commentators saying "Not Again" and they mention it afterwards that this happens a lot cos they play around and have fun with each other all the time (or something of that nature).

[@Ramsey276one]

13:31 veterans speaking to casuals/newbies XD

[@TheNightofWalpurgis666]

"Is that Frost" is a fucking classic.

[@futanahriadventures]

I’m just half way through, but that Jann Lee is already my favorite 😂 DoA5 was so much fun to play. Great edit on this one.

[@SSJ_Derp]

10:55 this was 100% choreographed and planned out ahead of time. I could maybe see the 5M-2M-6H-5H-2H at the start being an organic clash string, but there’s no shot that they both went into the same special move after that, then called the same assist, went into DR, teched it, dash, DR again, teched again, and finally did level 1 super for absolutely no reason.

[@annieme-tions]

Good thing it wasn't choreographed

[@KazeMemaryu]

Nope, that's actually real. In a lot of animé fighters, the input buffer is a bit more generous to compensate for game speed, so people input parts of their combo from muscle memory ahead of time without confirming, since the games tend to be too fast to react off of a single hit confirm. Everything else then follows consistent optimization for getting through or getting blocked, and clashing equals getting through, so both tried to outpace the other with the optimal combo. Of course, as both should have realized what the other was doing, either one could've deviated to try and counter, but the risk vs. reward was way too low, since that combo is optimal for a reason.

[@SSJ_Derp]

@@KazeMemaryu bruh, I know how the input buffer system works in this game, that has nothing to do with what I’m saying. For one thing, clashes are super rare in this game because of the priority system. For another, this isn’t the kind of game where you just throw out supers as soon as you get the meter because there’s a penalty to your meter gain after supers, ex moves, vanishes, anything that costs meter to use. High-level players like this can react to clashes after 1-2 hits, maybe 3 at the most, so there’s no shot they kept going on autopilot and then not only wasted meter but put themselves into meter penalty.

[@KazeMemaryu]

@@SSJ_Derp Apparently they did, hoping the other would slip up. I obviously can't read their minds, but it seems to me like neither saw a good window to drop the combo and approach differently without getting hit. Hell, the meter penalty was easily more acceptable than risking a hit, when every character has ToD's.

[@Mierzei]

The super at the end gives it away, it was a setup for a clean 0 bar round start.

[@ReigiOzora18]

25:05 so THAT'S where Sajam get his famous "Twerked on em" quote from 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rw3404]

21:02 Hilarious drop with epic music drop? Yes please! What is this tasty jam?

11:22 This moment, *this moment right here* is how Dragon Ball is supposed to be played and look

[@spahghettiboi4150]

7:35 He's like dude stop lemme go

[@Bjhorn279]

As someone who absolutely loves watching FGC moments like this, watching Max react is absolute gold, his laughing fits and the editing make this video a classic already

[@rchoung34]

I don't use social media, but this stream made me actually bookmark a twitter thread to revisit again in the future

[@vangelisgru7271]

130+ comments here... you are on social.

[@rchoung34]

@@vangelisgru7271 ok then..that’s fair, I’ll just say minimal social media usage if the social media argument is going to extend to Twitch.

[@brorjace08]

Sorry, whats the thread? Thnx

[@thechosenone8332]

This video almost feels like a FGC Museum of memes and iconic moments, I absolutely love it.

[@Ramsey276one]

12:46 he blew up THE CODE... XD

WE NEED MORE OF THIS SHIT. I'VE NEVER LAUGHED THIS HARD FOR MONTHS LMAO

[@B3nchwarm3r708]

Hardest ive ever heard Max laugh lol

[@superrubenxtreme]

That's probably still the mario 64 time travel video.

[@BuffAmogus]

The editor did an amazing job on this one, down to the comedic timing and even gave credit to the original tweet and/or video. Perfection *chefs kiss*

[@MrHappyFunshine]

18:41 Gotta love Joels' ability to go for the funny at every possible moment he can.

[@TheXell]

Yeah, even if it's a bit fecal sometimes.

[@yzer9975]

The Jax clip might just be my all-time favorite FG clip. The immediate realization that it's all over, the controller drop, the music - it's perfect. I have to watch it at least 6 times every time I see it.

[@FALL-LAFF-7477]

This one easily the best thing that Max ever made for reactionary videos. Even for me who's a casual in FGC, this is fun!

[@henrygreen2096]

Dood, the editor of this is my fucking inspiration, sources, comedic timing, move inputs, and more. This is mad. I'm new but it takes times, Man. Good stuff editor sempai. The video is awesome!

[@dyliera.velazqueznidoknigh6089]

13:00 Why does Akuma have a shotgun??? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@DarkAura19]

Shoutouts to the editor for getting all the sources on these. That must have been hell!

[@LuisLopez-pq6ke]

THIS EDITING! HOLY CRAP! This video was cleeeeean!

“I know everything you know because I am you” the move😂 11:15

The beginning is gold, the timing and his laugh is perfect. That Smash clip is FOREVER funny
