The Brawl Tournament Where Everyone Had 1 Stock

[@SoftiBoiled]

A slow boxing match but instead of drugging people up and making them far faster, we make them fight on a tight-rope where they could mess up at any given moment

[@bluedye4068]

Cook

[@gregvs.theworld451]

Okay but I would watch two people fighting on a tightrope as an event.

[@btf_flotsam478]

So less modern Yu-Gi-Oh and more a decent card game? I'd take that.

[@trogdorburninating]

8:10 ZSS trips like 0.35 seconds into the match LOL

[@PrincessFelicie]

peak cinema

[@spacesoccercowboy6091]

A fate worse than death Probably cause it leads to death but still

[@wolfdragox5563]

Yet another reminder that tripping Is completely random

[@N279]

10/10 haven’t even watched yet

[@heldon7951]

^

[@Creepo_J]

Would watch again

[@1times1]

10/10 did watch it

[@OnePointSafety]

Haven't watched it yet, classic

[@complexrolls]

I think you'll like it.

[@ysshuu]

Can't wait for coney to watch this in 3 days and then the highlights get posted a week later

[@xolotltolox7626]

Generally coney seems to wait a week before watching

[@modestlatios5553]

Gatekeep reaction vids

[@ricardoludwig4787]

I can't say anything about its competitive merit, but I have made an active effort to watch all of the most important historical sets from smash to get a good feel for every game, and this ruleset was by far the most fun I had watching brawl

[@litessbu]

Have you watched the Leo vs. Spargo set?

[@jeffforty5663]

@litessbuin what game

[@NamelessGamer29]

Here before Coney’s entire chat spams cuh at the end of the video

[@quitothings]

Funny enough, I JUST finished watching Coney's reaction to the edgeguarding video before seeing this get uploaded.

[@FistPumpBeast1675]

It is truly remarkable that your channel exists. That there is someone so passionate about this game also has the editing skills and comedy chops to weave all this together and make it digestible, basically keeping brawl alive for those who missed it or wish to relive it. I hope someone like you comes along for smafoursh one day, cuz the longer ult drags on the more i miss my silly rage-ladders game.

[@crispydonut9553]

9:17 I was not ready for that "Smfoursh" jumpscare 😂

[@AsherCaldwell]

Sm4sh is always a jumpscare, especially the 3DS version.

[@Calmtimer]

​@@AsherCaldwell At least 3DS had peak Smash Run

[@gregvs.theworld451]

@Calmtimer Unironically I want that mode to come back to Smash but on console. Please it was so fun! Give me more enemies and maybe like 4 maps instead of just the one and I would play it a ton.

[@Kirbyfan86_27]

Here before Coney lol and also nice use of the Iris Network at 9:46, I love Xenoblade 3, and fantastic job with the video!

[@ItsMeChair1]

Nah bro CONEY just got to the last video

[@cheebins]

REAL I was just about to comment the same thing

[@cullenhutchison6528]

I would like the menu music in XC3 if it didn't interrupt the background music every time, and loudly at that. Instead, it is my most hated track from the game, and it is personal.

[@demdude3708]

Intro goes hard

[@puffnstuff7905]

I just gotta say you are a godsend for actually putting timestamps for your music. So many KZbinrs don't even list the music used in the description and it's so annoying Anyway, keep up the great content🫡

[@jamesfunnymorrison8305]

COUGH COUGH CONEY

[@Zaybuhr]

Brawl plays more like street fighter neutral and pacing wise, that’s why I love it but 1 stock does makes Brawl so much more exciting for me.

[@spudsbuchlaw]

I can see that. It makes me appretiate it too

[@MrDevilRays]

5:44 now SM6SH is gonna be run with 4-stock tourneys, to keep the pattern going

[@Jelliott_ssb]

I read this as shmix

[@Shado_Chimera]

lowkey the best parts of brawl where the nail biter timeout situations. 1 stock brawl is like ideal for encouraging this so I think it was the best. I think if it was played more today 1 stock brawl would have become the standard. It's just hard to get people onboard with change.

[@premsinha9415]

This kind of feels like an attempt to instill a "sense of Street Fighter" into Smash and I appreciate it for that

[@webbowser8834]

5:09 As someone who mains Yoshi in both Melee and Ultimate, I felt this one in my very soul (mained Diddy and Olimar in Brawl)

[@yangerdanger7744]

CYBERGRIND MUSIC INTRO, MILLIONS MUST ULTRAKILL

[@josniffyvods5507]

i remember watching this tourney when i was getting into melee back in 2014. It was a format I always was hoping to get to play it but sadly never saw a copy of brawl at my local after that. Was a fun one to watch tho. Great video man

[@Nyworin]

Hi brawlternative

[@Brawlternative]

hi :)

[@paperplus3876]

Feel there could've been a lil more info on the tournament itself? Felt like so much of it was spent on the events surrounding it rather than the event itself. Maybe there isn't much during it, but was a lil disappointed when it finally got time to talk of the event and the video was practically over by then.

[@CapttainSparklez]

Up until the end of smash 4, my local still had 1-2 setups for brawl and PM, but after Ultimate came out I've never seen anyone playing 4.

[@caseyjarmes]

Zero suit now s tier

[@skillsharekirby2048]

Sonic 3's release viewing, my birthday, AND a new Brawlternative video? PEAK

[@GoonCommander]

Today is my birthday too!

[@noahthespike]

Happy birthday to both of you guys

[@Mauripsu]

Happy birthday you two!

[@aviidea3330]

also my birthday! and i'm also watching sonic 3 lol happy birthday

[@gamingblack]

A new Brawlternative vid, thank you Santa!

[@FrogInShorts]

This is super irrelevant but I was watching a playthrough of Madagascar for the ps2 yesterday and liked the themes so listened to the full ost while on a 16 mile run through the snowy city of Boston. I didn't care for much of the themes but one stuck that stuck with me that I listened on loop for an hour and became the defining tune for the run was the song at 4:22 I just wanted to share this personal story cause unlikely moments like this are what I live for.

[@Aladite]

BABE WAKE UP NEW BRAWLTERNATIVE

[@EnergyBurst2]

I'll be honest when I say my best memories of Brawl were in Project M doing pretty much exactly what you mentioned in the video, booting it up like I was a magician or something and playing it with friends, that said, during the heyday of PM I did compete in 1 PM tournament before Nintendo got involved and kinda killed the scene, it was at my high school and wasn't recorded or broadcasted anywhere, but I did beat 4 other people and get to quarter finals with Toon Link and was knocked out (there was no loser bracket) by the guy (a Falco player) who won the whole thing. Other than that, I don't have many standout memories of Base Brawl itself.

[@spiffywoahitsspiffy]

truly this is a WhyDoBadThingsHappenToGoodPeople's tournament Bad Things Happening To Good People moment

[@firestarwaca8336]

cant belive your videos are soo good that even THE Meta Knight is a patreon member

[@spaceyonqui1235]

That Finals ost flared the fuck out of my neurons

[@soundbomberemper7251]

Another banger. You're so real for using the killer7 hallway theme.

[@aLesbianStaccato]

KILLER 7 MUSIC?????? ITS PEAKKKKKKKKKKKK

[@motisba]

I loved his insight at 8:34

[@boxob093]

I would never comment on someone intro, but that was one of the cleanist intro graphics I ever seen, definitely never change that graphic!

[@joshuaryals2102]

Brawl will always have a special place for all us Wii warriors.

[@CiuccioeCorraz]

I feel so weirdly nostalgic learning all the history I missed about this silly little competitive scene. There's truly a world behind every niche experience isnt there

[@ALloydRH]

I actually remembered the commentators getting hype over 1 Mang0 up air as soon as you mentioned it. So funny XD

[@Alex-xk5xt]

appreciate you accurately portraying the scene and pm's position in it in 2013. people loooooove to bullshit about that part of history.

[@ZakZwald]

Waiter! There is some ULTRAKILL in my Brawl video! ....no that wasn't a complaint.

[@vexingvexillologist7554]

I am interested in the development of the Smash scene into (very broadly) Melee and Current Smash Game, so thank you for touching on it here

[@KoishNoish]

"stage builder" shooketh the bones

[@hopesalmonson5868]

Wasn’t ready for the Madagascar OST. Unlocked a whole chapter of my memory

[@Lucarijoe]

2:16 ah yes the coney reaction bait

[@mixtapescsgo4622]

Can't believe out of all gams, brawl is the one that gets me coming back

[@chip_7677]

10/10 music we love the finals in this house

[@fadran11]

can't believe this came out the same day Coney posted his reacting to the last one

[@FranklinODonnel]

Jesus the editing went crazy. I would love a video about Brawl's favorite starter, Smashville! That would be epic!!

[@Inroads-r8c]

Noticed "Rave On" from Killer7 on the soundtrack, so subscribed and liked. Would have done both a hundred times if it let me, this channel slaps.

[@alexandre526]

Aaaaah, the number of stocks, a historical debate, and a heated one in Sm4sh, I was a 3 stocks advocate

[@silverfoxxarts]

I see you getting more consistent with the editing and doing some stuff to make it more interesting. I liked some of the interesting graphic design! Keep up the good work. :)

[@TheRealMew2king]

Hey i won that! 1 stock mk vs ics was really funny cuz i can die right when the match starts to 1 grab.

[@Akiak7]

There are ways to make Brawl better via rulesets that haven't been fully explored. Final Smashes can be allowed in Doubles play due to the high chance of KOing your teammate. Other items can also be considered. Heavy Brawl is a thing. Also, handicaps exist and would've been the easiest way to balance the cast against eachother.

[@MP-qf5gg]

8:20 Ah, Coolwhip. I remember him. I was friends with him and we did Mario dittos quite a few times. Good times.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

MORE BRAWLTERNATIVE YES

[@blazethegame]

Thanks for extending my knowledge gathering on one of my special interests (the smash series)

[@RosiYYAP]

I still feel like 1 stock is actually pretty great for Brawl. I've done friendly sessions with friends and games would be fast and exciting, I'd love to see people embrace the format and give it another shot

[@zs9652]

ZSS goes up to a or s tier lol

[@RosiYYAP]

@zs9652 hell yeah she does lmao

[@TheRetroLord]

The ultrakill music started and I knew it was gonna be peak

[@antiquaemblem]

Shoutout to using XC3 music at the end 💜

[@saxeladude]

6:35 I also like the slower play of brawl and smash 4 because it's more strategic by being more methodical and less mash heavy

[@madlock1315]

Absolute Cinema ✋😐🤚

[@orionkrieg6082]

Huge fan of this content. brawl was the smash game i grew up on, really fun to see it get some attention for once.

[@ashtonallen7524]

Ayyy "The Finals" music. For the start of the video. Nice.

[@Steleaf]

PEAKTERNATIVE NEVER CHANGE WE LOVE YOU

[@mandalorianhunter1]

I remember watching this back when the Brawl was on the way out and Smash 4 was on the way in. It was fun

[@miniyodadude6604]

I find it odd that people still today say melee is about memorizing punish game flow charts and brawl is about real neutral and fundies when melee's real appeal is the incredibly nuanced and fast paced neutral when you consider cc and asdi combined with less commital movement options. On top of that, melee's punish game is focused a lot on positional awareness. These are big separators from a game like smash 64 that lacks these same nuances in the punish game with more commital movement options. Overall, melee's appeal is not labbing punishes and flowcharts, its simply a necessity to beat better players

[@WarrenValion]

Just finished watching Coney's video on your last video, your timing is immaculate.

[@AceToast777]

Keep up the good content bro. Happy to support on patreon :)

[@pidgezero_one]

this is the tournament that made me able to say "i beat mang0's fox with kirby"

[@zannax351]

Thank you bra alternative for the high quality smash content

[@yuribacon]

bra alternative: just don't wear a bra

[@yehuda8589]

Based choice of using Rave On, it's such a goated track

[@sticks_stuff]

probably your best video yet, i loved it

[@TheStickCollector]

This could be an interesting turbo format. We need this in tourneys now.

[@krowpan799]

best editor because you dont spam whooosh sound effects

[@appliedatoms7066]

Project M mentioned. Swell with uncontainable hype, 47 spam, and brutal DMCAs.

[@ReyaktheHunter]

Brilliant once again

[@natgel17]

Pretty good video as always ! You went nuts on the editing !

[@Imprez2564]

FELLAS, let's watch a new Brawlternative video, SHALL WE?!?

[@thatgamingkiwi1630]

I heard that ULTRAKILL music in the intro, excellent taste good sir.

[@curlybrace4984]

That xenoblade music for the outro sent chills down my spine. Yeeeesh.

[@ChaseTrent]

New intro is cool, don't get me wrong, but it *is* a bit long imo

[@GKplus8]

Yeah,could be trimmed a bit

[@NebuIize]

yeah 20 seconds is kinda absurd for an intro, max like 10 seconds imo

[@lukes.p.8940]

Scrap the intro entirely, who even uses one anymore?

[@YayaIWin]

skunch placing his flag in the great uh cat wars

[@novahibiscus9275]

great video!!! thanks for putting that dastardly ratchet cat in the outro ^_^

[@x2raScoop]

THE FINALS music is an instant like

[@kevinpierce9780]

Nice, Brawlternative season 2 has a sick opening!

[@Breeze926]

In Smash Ultimate I made a "fighting game" ruleset with 2 sets in Stamina mode and the quick pace is really fun in 1v1s actually.

[@RobertrulezDa1st]

0:16 you mean Smafoursh? Idk what this Smash 4 thing you're talking about is

[@goldgamer8687]

fr. Never heard of this “Smash 4” before

[@zacharysontag7798]

Is that Finals music??? Yes!

[@trueblueryu5713]

Do you have any thoughts on the idea of slightly increasing the knockback in Brawl for future events? On the one hand, it would drastically reduce the issue with chain grabs making up such a large part of the meta, but it would make a large chunk of already powerful moves (MK shuttle loop, Marth tippers, snake up-tilt) even stronger. The biggest issue is probably getting people to decide, cause arguments can be made for 1.1x or 1.2x, and there could realistically be a bigger issue that I haven’t figured out yet.

[@PigsSSBM]

Intro went unbelievably hard

[@micahjones7837]

What a fucking intro, the title card switch got me so hyped

[@wophful]

dropping a video right after coney’s is genius

[@CharlotteMimic]

Lovely video, new intro is fire

[@k1baede728]

Best smash creator in the scene right now

[@jonfro-mez]

My god, the mango glazing is crazy lmao

[@lesstime7835]

fire as always dude

[@wesleystein4755]

Hearing the NY chase song from the magascar game gave me flashbacks 😂

[@covဧ]

starting my day off with peak

[@GerryCasts]

I'm playing The Finals rn and the intro made me tab in and out of my game like 5 times

[@chori150]

Love the new intro dude

[@xltl194]

i actually wanted a vid about this bracket cuz a lot of ppl didnt know about majors when smash was smash
