I think he's just a professional sport practicer that was diagnosed with cancer. So, knowing he'd die, he decided to teach other people his ways and show his tricks to become as skilled as him.

I feel like Matt is just the Mii version of Mike Tyson.. Matt Tyson??

[@OlgaG18]

No, i think Matt could be Terry Crews

[@thefr3dgames117]

Punch Out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@noahskennedy]

My friend was actually the first person who posted the Matt meme! He had a meme page with 30k followers on Instagram and it soon got stolen and reposted on worldstar, without the watermark.

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Nice

*Sees the Matt mii* *begins to hyperventilate *

[@connormenosky1420]

If people make a movie about Mii’s, Matt will be the star. I would totally watch it.

[@Jcoleot]

Looking back, Nintendo must've really cared about Matt considering how far they went to put in easter eggs to captivate a story for Matt and being the only Mii representing some sort of lore for the games.(besides Lucía in Table tennis as its revealed somehow Yoshi was a vice champ that trained Lucía to become champ) It truly is heartwarming and for me at least nostalgic on how much thought and consideration they put in for a simple Mii that could've just easily been a one and done. For someone who has played the Wii all their life even today, it's nice knowing how much care was put into a demo game and how even if it wasn't anticipated that Matt would be one of their most iconic and popular characters they still put so much love into this beautiful character.(last part sounds like im glazing but idc)

[@RacingSnails64]

I love how frank and straight-forward you are about this haha 👍

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Thanks lol, I figured given the topic, I could only go so deep with it

[@stevenmilflover6673]

Watching this i thought this was a video that you just fine going through youtube and has like 600k views in a couple of days and that why its on your algorithm but seeing that your a smaller channel shocked me this video is so well made i hope your get more recognition for your work

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Thanks! Hopefully that happens

[@Joshua_From_Wii_Sports]

k now talk about Pierre, Tommy, Sakura, Elisa, Anna, Miguel, Saburo, and Lucia

matt’s role in the mii world reminds me of that (I forget his name) old blue car that lightning McQueen looked up to in the cars movie

[@vivianhunter2354]

Doc Hudson?

I've got two What-If ideas for you. Both are Piccolo-Based. 1: What if Goku had found Piccolo Jr's Egg and taken it with him to train under Kami? 2: What if 17 had invited Piccolo to stay on his island after the Cell Games?

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Interesting ideas!

When I was little I used to call this guy: Grub Man because I though his beard made him look like a grub.

THE GOAT OF WII SPORTS 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@JustMe-dg3gl]

I was playing wii and i think I saw matt in wii

[@turnleftaticeland]

Loved this video! Are there any other CPU Miis with “lore” like this? Maybe Lucía or Miguel? You should do a video on them if there are!

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Thank you! Matt is definitely the most "lore" driven Mii, but I could definitely look to see if there's any others that have interesting backstories!

[@KaiokenBass]

Matt seems to be the Mii version of Doc Louise.

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Definitely, similar role and the boxing gameplay is similar to the Punch-Out games

[@jacg2508]

this was such a great video!

Thank you!

true

[@CSK2008DS]

What about Ryan, since he is always the first opponent you fight in sword play and boxing, what is Mats best sports & why is he the referee when you fight Mat in speed slice?

[@InnovativeJdawg]

It's possible that Ryan could be like the player, a "student" under Matt, or something like an assistant coach?

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

@@InnovativeJdawg I always interpreted him as just the Wii series equivalent of Glass Joe due to being the weakest in both combat sports, though the whole "apprentice" thing might be a fun headcanon.

[@thesplatooanima8231]

One thing you forgot to Mention about Wii Party, He and Lucia are on good Terms, according to Friend Connection.

[@fauxvier8519]

Did u like went on a furious sleuthing escapade to make this video lol

Surprisingly it wasn't too tough looking into him lol

[@dannylifted9441]

Was Matt ever officially in Super Smash Bros? I have seen him in it but I can't tell if those are modded versions or not

[@InnovativeJdawg]

Matt as a character is not in the game, but anybody can make him. If you have made Matt on your system, you can make him either a Mii Gunner, Mii Swordfighter, or Mii Brawler
