Goals: get Shwabadi to not hate a cypher ✅️🤣 much love

[@LucasDeGagnemusic]

I haven’t accomplished that yet For context he reacted to my cypher on stream which I’ll admit sucked

[@OerstedFGC]

Loved the aloha to the alola flip!

[@thighgraine]

@@LucasDeGagnemusic it wasn't good, i'll admit, but definitely better than i could do. got some laughs, if any relief

[@thighgraine]

you've done it, you've done the impossible

Mat4yo’s verse was my favorite. The different way he uses “Aloha to the Alola” changes its meaning completely. With it at the start, it’s a greeting. But Aloha means both hello and goodbye. He’s saying goodbye to Alola…which everyone would have done if Necrozma hadn’t been stopped in USUM. Just that one line after such an amazing verse before it secured the Alola verse as my favorite on this Cypher

[@Mat4yo]

Aloha to you!

[@matthewcolbert370]

@@Mat4yo Aloha to you once again

[@kennethmorgan8795]

favorite part of the gen 7 verse.

[@MixWilliams]

Lmao Cam dared me to make a dragon my balls line lmao

[@aaku2684]

dragon deez balls lmao

[@voydcat8089]

I already explained why in Scru’s reaction, but Mat’s verse is my favorite, with Haztik taking the silver medal. And yeah, Ty’s whole thing is “I’m gonna start rapping… and then I’m just, I’m just not gonna stop.”

[@plum6999]

Ain't Ty "Wild" for no reason

[@rishabhanand4973]

my faves were mat's, schwabadi's and cam's

[@kurichan142]

I actually couldn't stop laughing at Shwabadi's reaction to Mix's opening-

[@nirvash97]

"I'm not Nebby anymore, I'll put you in a bag" hardest bar lmao Glad to see Shwabados is back!

[@KryptikChaos434]

in my opinion, i went and did some Heavy analysis of Haztiks verse and damn did i find some godlike bars, he mentions geomancy being Xerneas move and geomancy being organizing stuff in simple diagrams to fix stuff, zygardes whole ecosystem philosophy, He references all of these mythological beings like Yggdrasil World Tree stuff and a bunch of other names i cant say.. I can explain everything here but my god is his verse dope

[@valeereon9954]

Just adding on here: As more a pokemon player than a knowledgeable person of rap, I noticed immediately that he used all 3 legendary's signature moves which I thought was really cool. Xerneas with Geomancy (also Moonblast), Yveltal with Oblivion Wing, and Zygarde with Land's Wrath

[@KryptikChaos434]

@@valeereon9954 yup he did, he also referenced all 3 abilities, aura break, fairy aura, dark aura, the fact yveltal cocoons and goes into sleep mode (hence circle of life bar) whenever yveltal comes out of sleep/cocoon mode it is because someone has agrivated it and is trying to turn it into petrified stone + xerneas needing to stop it. True perfection

[@DanDek]

Could you explain the "ash .... birth to a new 'we'" bar to me?

[@KryptikChaos434]

@@DanDek for what I understand its a yggdrasil tree bar, Ash fertilising dirt, giving birth to a new we/tree. Ash also referring to Ash ketchum

[@slothfulquagsire199]

@@DanDek Also 'We' as there are 2 Zygarde Cores thus Zygarde Complete could refer to itself as 'We' rather than 'Me'.

[@prestonarce2007]

I like Shwabadi vibing to his own verse. I just found that so funny. Also, it’s not a drizzle I’ll reign your parade. That’s probably my favorite line in the thing. Even if generation six was my favorite verse.

[@comradebrodolino]

Love mat4yos "aloha to the alola" essentially saying "goodbye alola"

[@NatsuNekuro]

Just recently caught ho-oh(named it shwabadi) and lugia(named it shwabados) cause you killed that gen 2 verse 💯💯💯🔥🔥

[@ceazer6857]

Haztik went off bro! After several listen through his just slaps and the vocal effect on his voice makes me so hype!

[@randomguy-yl2ml]

DUDE THE ALOHA TO THE ALOLA LINE WAS SO GOOD THO, they all said it in the beggining, and aloha means hello, and all of the previous alola verses were about the people of alola but he was a pokemon from another dimension, the legendary who steals light, he said that your little vacations over, so aloha to the alola, and aloha also means goodbye as well as hello, so he stole the sun, said your vacation is over, AND INSTEAD OF BEGGING WITH "HELLO TO ALOLA", HE ENDED WITH "GOODBYE TO ALOLA", BUT USING THE SAME EXACT SENTENCE thats a great fuckin verse

[@Mat4yo]

Thanks random guy

[@epicgamerp6895]

Meanwhile in our universe:*Cam uploads another cypher before the reaction even comes out*

[@ExtraVictory]

*That Mat4yo Aloha to the Alola.* Its already becoming iconic and rightfully so. Not only does it stand completely on its own, and work on multiple levels, even with the most basic level of cultural knowledge someone could have. They will still get that a legendary superdimensional being has arrived to bring despair and you might just assume that being is simply announcing his presence or the beginning of his era by saying Aloha to the alola in that case. If you know that Aloha also has a second meaning, it gets even doper because now that being is saying goodye instead. And for anyone listening who happens to be fully caught up on the meta history of the line "Aloha to the alola" in the previous cyphers as well, its all just too godly for words

[@ARCAlpha12]

the only cam cypher that i like more than this is the Sonic Villains cypher. Overall it's because of the beats-both this cypher and that one's beats go so freaking hard and I LOVE it!

[@Rat_Noise]

Mat’s got so many good punches in his verse

[@Mat4yo]

Thanks yo

[@keybladeduelist]

I love him adding Aloha to the Alola to the end because Aloha means both hello and goodbye, so he’s saying Goodbye Alola region

[@Vivid_Sky23]

I love that Ty is legit so great that his final line doesn't even need to rhyme to sound fire

[@redcloud1029]

It took a hot minute but Shwabadi finally really likes a Pokémon cypher

[@JadenBarbosa]

Zach and shwab got that different energy it’s so fun to listen to, everyone killed it tbh we’ll played everyone🎉

[@NinjaBladeOfficial]

ever since i started listening to Cam Steady and the Cyphers especially, it makes me be on a cypher with Cam, but that's all a big dream, maybe one day im on one of his cyphers, just gotta improve with my rapping/singing, mostly rapping and maybe some day, ill be on one of Cams Cyphers

[@DoctorOaks]

I really enjoy hearing your thoughts. Even if I don't always agree you're very good at articulating where you're coming from and I can always go "I get what you're saying it just doesn't bother me personally."

[@DonniedrakoE]

I love how Every can cypher reaction is basically shawb afraid he’s going to get jumped for having a negative opinion lol.

[@jediclonekag13]

This Pokemon rap cypher was so LEGENDARY that I couldn't choose a favorite verse, but I really loved your verse for the Tower Duo (Lugia and Ho-Oh), Shwabadi. I also loved the following verses as well: Cam Steady's verse for the Weather Trio (Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza), Zach B's verse for the Creation Trio (Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina), Haztik's verse for the Aura Trio (Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde), and Mat4yo's verse for the Light Trio (Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma).

[@TheRealFrozenFire]

11:35 "slipped it in right at the end" -Shwabadi, 2022

[@ThugStankdope]

I had the exact same reaction to Haztik coming in, didn't look at the name and was so confidently thinking it was Mat4yo at first haha

[@the_ironlegion479]

I do think Haztiks voice sounds similar too, just a little bit lower. I never noticed that!!!!

[@daytonbudreau3532]

Aye shwab glad you're back the move went well! Can't wait to see what you come up with just don't burn yourself out man!!

[@IntuitionTickler]

The Kalos legendary bar was my favorite and I can tell about it all day long

[@gamingwithsean6466]

My favorite pokemon rap

[@OfcitzJayden]

I'm a little late but geomancy is also a move that Xerneas learns to boost it's stats of you didn't know that

[@roxassplays]

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness was the first Pokémon game I ever played as a kid, so the fact that you had the chance to make the reference and you took it makes me so damn happy, props man!!

[@kianlangthorne7238]

Geomancy is just a term for controlling rocks like how firemancy is basically firebending

[@earlgraham4720]

this has been my favorite pokemon cypher for a while and for the longest time I didn't realize that my favorite verse, the second one was made by you and let me just tell you that your lyrics and flow hit so hard and your verse along with Mat4yo's is the reason this is one of my favorite cypher of all time

[@Jake_the_Snake5340]

Shawbadi: "I've only heard my verse" Me:" well I'd hope you've heard yours "🤣

[@bobshnitzel2608]

I mean tbf he was talking about the parts of his verse that weren't him, ie the mix or whatever its called

[@arandomguy4409]

Dragon deez balls is a reference to how reshiram and zekrom were balls before being summoned

[@OerstedFGC]

I loved your gen 2 verse! Great stuff, you and ty wild killed it on this

[@OerstedFGC]

Sidenote: Yes! Geomancer is indeed a job from final fantasy tactics. I believe it originated in FF5.

[@NatsuNekuro]

"Im not nebby anymore ill put you in a bag" that line hard asf

[@sonicducktheinoccent]

I think people have so much to work with when it comes to legendaries, I fully expect 2 more legendary cyphers, both of which will be good

[@WilofJ]

Saying that this might be in your top three is actually huge lmaoo.. loved your verse and everybody else's but personally my top 3 were Haz, Mat and Cam

[@JustinVanTrump]

I'm going to be honest here, your verse was by far my favorite since Gold and Silver were the first Pokemon games I played, I especially loved the reference to the Gamecube games with Shadow Lugia in your verse. Second place goes to Zach with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum since Diamond was the first game I played all the way through.

[@NothingnessVoid-hp3jp]

Ngl bro killed it as Ho-Oh and Lugia goodness

[@jasomega2446]

3:17 Well Explained.

[@zachschaeffer3884]

The new set up is crazzzy props man

[@richardlandgraf1953]

I thought the exact same about Haztik's voice. At least at the start. When he gets aggressive he sounds like Mateo doing a Cam impression.

[@Mat4yo]

LOL

[@madamegomorrah8633]

I'd say its more Fabvl than Cam but yeah

[@lorik2005]

oh so when Connor said “We should move in together” in his podcast, he was serious

[@zoesequeira5388]

Ho-oh brought three dead pokemon back to life as legendaries, Lugia causes a biblical flood every time it flaps its wings. How are they not gods?

"back here on swabados" with the CQ backdrop ;P

[@kerumathebloodgamer3055]

I think Shwabadi either forgot to meant or didn’t know the “make you holy homie.” Is good cause it references the dogs who Ho-oh made me not legends

[@Kris_King]

The Dragon these balls wasnt even a DBZ reference but the fact that Reshiram and Zekrom were sealed away in the White and Black Stone

[@aikisanulor6240]

"Haztik sounds just like Mat4yo" is way too true. The first time I heard it, it caught me way off guard

[@Slurp_Durp]

I agree with ya this cypher is my top three from his and yall did too good that I cant pick a favorite, well done dudes 👌.

[@TripleCatAttack]

I'm glad you also thought Haztik was Mat lmfao He could be an impressionist for Mat

[@axels3188]

This was a good reaction.

[@alexmoore8441]

My personal fave verses are Cam’s and Haztik’s. They just go so hard.

Shwabs verse is on of my favorites everyone has good verses but Yours Zach’s Kevin and Haztik were my favorites I like Cams cause 3rd Gen is my favorite to play in

Ngl this cypher was fire. By the way, please react to rustages new rap about yuta from jujutsu kaisen. It’s so fire!

I forget the specific Job but FF3 has one that uses Geomancy which acts like Nature Power

Straight fire for real loved it

Glad to see Shwab back reacting....so.... plz tell me I'm not the only one who wants him to react to Ariel Aces new rap "FORBIDDEN WAVE CHECK JUTSU" ft Ham SANDWICH cause that shit was fucking hilarious seriously if you're reading this and u haven't heard it go right now, thank me later

Would really like if you would react to Cam Steady's Dislyte Pantheon Rap Cypher As well.

I know the whole double on the holey and holy but did it have it so that when you make someone “holey” it’s like an O which is why it says “Like Oh!” sorry if it was supposed to be obvious

Yes your right their sound the same

[@turtleduck982]

not liking the dragon these balls bar and then when isekai dnd episode 14 happens

[@blusteel_dragon6632]

You should react to cams inosuke song, it's an absolute banger

[@xavierdeal7547]

isn't Ho-Oh viewed as a god due to resurrecting three dead pokemon and turning them into the legendary dog trio?

[@python1972]

Officiallg Lugia and Ho-Oh are guardians of their respective places (Sea and Sky), this would make them minor deities under Kyogre and Rayquaza respectively.
