The Reads #02 with Scar & Toph ft. SilentWolf - Boo! A GHOST!!!

[@ahoha.]

Yo, no joke, I'm surprised at how much I'm liking this. Smash is not my thing AT ALL, but for some reason this is super enjoyable. Good shit guys!

[@SLORB857]

dude. say what you will about smash. its fun as hell to watch.

[@bossdula]

@towersif would you play smash if their was an Arcade stick? because if you have never heard of Hax $ he is creating a Arcade Stick with all buttons

[@ahoha.]

bossdula I'm a pad player. I tried playing Melee on Dolphin. Idk, I can see why so many people like it, it's just not my style, really. But hey, I appreciate the tip :)

[@Adrian.Christ]

Melee is really fun just as a spectator. I'd recommend checking out some tournaments, even if it's just top 8s. I don't even play the game, but I've been watching it for a while now.

[@brianbaez5283]

"you think thats funny?" nod and smile, otto, nod and smile

[@yummycookies58]

That was really awkward, so weirdly confrontational

[@brianbaez5283]

toph is not good tbqh

[@TizziQ]

GAH DANG IT BILLY!

[@viktlol]

WHO GHOST DIS IS?

[@rafa8911]

I'm all for switching players every game, makes it way more entertaining to watch~ Also, great stuff Toph and Mike Ross, keep it going!

[@pabloandino5372]

One of my dreams was having Scar invited again to excellent adventures. Now I have him every sunday with my favorite game. This is perfect.

[@m4r1o148]

Not quite the same as him being on Excellent Adventures, but it's still entertaining

[@kemarle7]

Starting off Sunday right...

[@natewatson6962]

netplay toph = unfiltered toph

[@Oceanandskylinevidss]

these matches had my heart pumping.

[@zromblad]

Seriously though Toph, let the salt pour. Fighting game communities go to great lengths to hide the swearing (when we all know it's there irl). Stay Dirty, Reads! Also, Billy really did have it coming. Screw that guy.

[@Death...]

Z Romblad "Fuck that guy" ...much better 😁

[@interista10100]

Yeah fuck Billy (i'm sorry Billy)

[@gravuun5753]

Billy took a boot to the teeth and that's exactly what he needed (no shade Billy)

[@seans245]

Yes! Another amazing show. You guys are the best. Favorite melee personalities/melee duo, hands down.

[@SleeplessSpecter]

I like switching off every game. The one complaint I had last week was that you guys only got to play once each. Problem solved 👍

[@Tinybob2]

29:38 "If someone's gonna crack it's not gonna be our seasoned player" immediately almost sd's with side b

[@jackjack121]

My god, I actually like Melee now. I probably shouldn't have started with top level tournaments :p.

[@timwinterhalter5233]

were you having a hard time processing the insane bullshit

[@marky209]

sickest game. and these guys are entertaining as shit

[@illadelph42]

Keanu Reeves said "whoa" in Bill and Ted it was used as a nod to fans in the Matrix. 😉

[@TrucidOL8R]

Thanks Mobile Mike!

[@illadelph42]

Bobby Scar You the boy Bobby loving the new show. Now you gotta get Gootecks and Mike on your show to school them.

[@striderzer0]

27:30 did he just walk up and rom marth like falco was magneto in mvc2?

[@curupa66]

Hey, I've never played smash but I like this format much better than the other one. It seems more dynamic.

[@biggsarcade6122]

That clutch Mario was fucking crazy!

[@PointyYT]

Honestly, this is shit hot.

[@XX-ep5xt]

Evan Kavanagh Do you mean it is extremely shit? Or do you mean its like the shit.

[@PointyYT]

It's the shit!

[@PointyYT]

I'm really enjoying this series.

[@XX-ep5xt]

Evan Kavanagh I agree.

[@MrWumbologist]

I never thought I would ever in my life willingly watch Link-ICs, yet here I am

[@MisterZebra42]

I could honestly watch this for hours

[@zxdevoutxz]

This will be a mainstay of the smash scene, and from what I've read, the FGC as a whole. You all nailed it.

[@VenomKpp]

What I like about this show compared to excellent adventure is how comfortable the three are to just talk. This show makes it feel like your with friends in a living room beating the shit out of people online whereas excellent adventure feels like you're watching a product with them being careful at what they say on camera. This show feels real while adventure feels like a production.

[@bigyes7017]

VenomKpp I think that's partly because the excellent adventures had been going a lot longer and is the face of cross counter. I love how each show has its own flair

[@il100374]

nah.

[@pabloescobargarlic2974]

This series is great

[@TheLeroy1981]

I love me some Scar on a Sunday.

[@jacobwhite8617]

OMG THE SECOND EPISODE! I HAVE BEEN WAITING THE WHOLE ENTIRE WEEK FOR THIS!!!! LETS GO

[@holdenmcclure]

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS SHOW IS THAT IT'S TOO SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWO SETS?

[@tinysyd]

lol at the zoom on tophy when he asked the editor to cut out him spilling beer xD! cute

[@VannTango]

3:57 Scar would probably be pretty good at smash 4

[@jjrambles683]

Same shit applies to Ultimate 3 years later

[@thamafia6400]

I'm dead at what silent wolf said about the sasquatch from Dexter

[@b2j135]

I'm mad I'm just now starting to watch this series... I'm bout to binge watch lol

[@mckibb_n2868]

This has been the most fun melee I've seen in years!!!

[@cnbrauns]

Loving this show

[@josephpolk9660]

I love how Toph and Scar almost cursed SilentWolf at that last stock... the scramble...

[@BlueRuki]

Also, as a SFV/BBxGG player, I found this highly enjoyable

[@H2A_23]

17:20 "He hit you with the blur uptilt" LMAOOO

[@Mekafutoku]

these are still one of the best episodes

[@DadySweet]

Heads up, at 3:50 you could've thrown the cape to mid air stall & then Up+B while IC recovered, to grab the ledge

[@lEgitwh4le]

This series is gonna be a banger

[@LuisAlvarez-xo9xx]

I don't even play smash but it looks fun I might have to dabble

[@JeffTygart]

That Bobby Mario game was sick. Scar is sick!

[@EvilApple567]

I can't believe no one thought to name SilentWolf's Link the "Silent Specter". That's the best nickname to any character ever.

[@crazykiddo092]

I love this. Btw, the audio was only coming out of my left speaker during the outro starting @ 31:08 until the end.

[@kevincemeno8128]

Dang nice production value

[@TPY__]

This show is amazing.

[@BlueRuki]

ALSO ALSO, shoutout to Toph for that classic Will I Am cartoon network song

[@Tesomanjarvi]

Absolutely lovin' this :D

[@killerwaffles05]

Bobbys falco is pretty sick

[@melikmourali2072]

7:18 - 7:21 Scar imitating a Magikarp out of the water lmao

[@plebula_9894]

Toph can keep his data I prefer the magic

[@mrx00666]

oh man my heart can't take it.

[@grizzlyberry]

Just a heads up, SFV is in the description as the game instead of Melee.

[@frzpop]

the ghost made me cry :')

[@BlueRuki]

When you accurately predict Episode 1's title in Episode 2

[@realmush6794]

These guys have so much fun in comparison to Mike "Mike Ross" Ross and Gootecks. You can see how much they love the game they play. It's refreshing.

[@mrgabest]

The Smash community loves their games; the FGC rages against theirs. Its a cultural thing.

[@NonRandomUser]

I kept reading BaitMonster as BaitMaster. It doesn't help that they sometimes referred to him as "Bait Master" (see 30:22) I was confused when they didn't make the obvious joke...

[@mnemicmnemic]

Im so fucking hype that this is a thing

[@Isabelleadshead6917]

dude i fucking love SilentWolf and Toph in the same place

[@sirrosyred6606]

For those of you in the FGC that don't know. A "Wobble" is an infinite that Ice Climbers have.

[@jmarx3943]

Sir, RosyRed Thank you! I'm completely in the dark about smash. This is my first exposure to it. So far I'm liking this series though.

[@danielvutran]

yeah! More specifically a wobble is a set-up where you have to de-sync the iceclimbers so that their attacks are timed JUST enough to put the opponent into perma stun, while grabbed!

[@abcdefzhij]

5:05 YES HE CAN UP B WALLJUMP

[@wusupgame]

was really disappointed by ep 1, this one is fucking amazing. good shit

[@SpasticBrony]

This show is so fucking genuine and funny

[@amazingcorndog5]

what was the ring silentwolf was talking about?

[@7ukaa]

toph deadass laughs like candy kong

[@abcdefzhij]

3:50 Holy fuck Scar literally knows absolutely nothing about mario. YOU HAVE A FUCKING CAPE

[@superakatsukifan9]

Holy shit Scar's Falco is actually pretty sick

[@PIayer4]

the name of this episode changed! This title makes alot more sense. The old name was random

[@smithcm14]

Is there any way to get any kind of ladder "rank" on Dolphin? If so, that should be displayed under the player names.

[@xmosphere]

Probably not. Anther's ladder and the netplay patch are two separate things.

[@Jest]

I don't know how they have it set up but it's maaaaybe possible in post if the screen is being captured or by looking up the info. At that point it becomes about whether it's worth the trouble for the editor. Personally I would like to see how they are going up in ranks and what rank the other person is, even though it's somewhat meaningless that was always my favorite part in Excellent Adventures, watching them rise or fall is addicting.

[@krazylaostah206]

Shout out to Otto --- Foster HS. Do your thang homie!

[@MechaGV]

the "b00" tag killed me

[@GustoFormula]

Falco Lombobby was so sick right here. Why doesn't he play him anymore?

[@sw4712]

i feel like yall should just have a constant playercam going.

[@danielvutran]

LMFAO 14:00 XDFPLPA12211

[@Kitto0]

I don't like this game at all but I totally welcome this idea of having different and unique shows on CrossCounterTV dedicated to different games. I wish soon we could have other games representations too from FGC for likes of Tekken, KI ,MKX ,KOF etc.Each day new game with different hosts and people that would be so dope.

[@mo_musashi_28]

If Mike Ross knew how to play Melee 😲💥💥👀

[@wombathijs4560]

Subbing cause of these videos

[@brianbaez5283]

also for some reason on mobile I see the thumbnail as "episode 2, chef swag n watch" what

[@ofrocks]

get jwang to play some melee action, we all know he got a Ness

[@basilisxjs]

I still lose it when I hear "WHO BIRD DIS IS"

[@wickersham]

intro reminds me of powdered toast man. i hope thats intentional

[@Justinsalehtv]

The editor didn't know...

[@Slagomancer]

Green Falco should be Green Machine.

[@FortWhenTeaThyme]

"Scarpion Master" are you fucking kidding me Scar? SCARIO IS CLEARLY BETTER Also "You don't stand a GHOST of a chance" was from Yu-Gi-Oh.

[@koitsuga]

it's a homage to Scorpion Master, a fictional Mario player who turned out to be Mango in disguise :)

[@FortWhenTeaThyme]

I got the reference, I just think Scario flows way better.

[@seanhembree6154]

It's actually a Yu-Gi-Oh Thing. There is an episode where Joey plays against The ghost of Seto Kaiba and the ghost makes horrible ghost puns the whole time. "...And This Time Yugi.... You don't stand a GHOST of a chance. Muahahahahah"

[@FruityKnuckles]

Do an episode where each of you play a Mario Bros

[@JeffTygart]

The Ghost!

[@blitzmightyN7]

9:20 what is that? (i dont play smash much)

[@robocuzz584]

BlitzMightyN7 It's called "wobbling" One of the many broken things in this game.

[@piguy9369]

It's called wobbling and only the ice climbers can do it. Popo gets a grab and pummels, and nana uses a tilt attack so they are locked in hitstun and can't escape the grab

[@naph5456]

Ice Climbers can pummel any one character to 999% during a grab. When the victim hits 40% damage, it becomes impossible to mash out of unless the Ice Climbers player messes up the timing.

[@mechad00dle]

They have to desynced in order to pummel infinitely though. www.ssbwiki.com/Desynching

[@hawtshaymin]

i try to do the alex voice every time i see scar but my voice always cracks :(

[@zappywappyfps]

best moment 29:30

[@uvsvdu]

uh, was this the wrong title for this episode? no game and watch...

[@sdro106]

Why so short

[@jithias]

Silent Wolf although i appreciate the dolphin slash sound--dee dee's sasquatch sound comparison, it is hardly accurate.

[@mrzombiesbo]

I was promised Swag N' Watch

[@champloo1788]

Wait is ghost a klansmen It all makes sense now

[@thomasp3543]

not on my good Christian street fighter channel jk i still enjoy the content

[@Kool212]

Switching every match is fun, but man you need the salty runbacks.

[@aaa-sg8bs]

scars bird is nuuuuts

[@loafuscrumbwell3315]

I always wondered. Does Toph have a medical condition? cause he constantly shifts his neck side to side. just a habit?

[@Tophbbq]

Toph here - yeah, just a habit. Like a muscular tic. I'm trying to wean it out but it's hard :(

[@MrLeuzinger]
