I’m going to be honest. As soon as Jacob asked Joe what suika means, I had the same “oh no” feeling he had when he was about to google it.

I legitimately had no idea I just did not care to look.

[@ryofox493]

yeah same lol. I just never thought about that at all tbh

[@Uggnog]

Alpharad must be making these things because there's no way there's this many functional Suika knockoffs

[@wawacat6568]

You'd be suprised how many people can make a quick buck by ripping off a popular game with a simple game mechanic

[@tomd96]

You'd be surprised how much influence a youtuber has on a market. Personally, I'm waiting for a Kamen Rider Gaim suika game.

[@daboross2]

It's such a simple concept to mimic, though, if you already have a functional physics engine like most game engines have. Plus, the playability is actually so nice compared to other game concepts this simple.

[@bwellstv4927]

Well, good news, quite a few weren't very functional lol

[@R8Spike]

There's one called money game that he hasn't played yet

[@ace0734]

Although Jacob didn’t know that Suika meant watermelon, he at least knows other fun facts, such as when you combine the names of the characters Kat and Ana from the WarioWare series, you get the word katana!

[@redcast3041]

no you dont... ypu get anakat...

[@shadou1234567]

my favorite trivia! never heard of it! How can we be sure Jacob knows that Kat and Ana from the WarioWare series, when combined, make the word Katana?

[@aringorski4786]

Fun fact: Suica (Yes, with a C) is also Japan's most popular payment app, at least it was at one point, maybe not anymore. It's also a pun on watermelon. Previously, before smartphones were as common as they are now, Suica was actually a physical card that you could recharge at convenience stores to use like a credit card, but these days people mostly use a mobile app instead. The reason it's spelled with a "C" is because "ca" is short for "card," this is common with other sorts of cards, like membership cards.

[@Shymain]

A very interesting addendum to this: Suica originated as the smart cards for public transit payment for the JR East transit area (where Tokyo is located) and there are other cards like it used across Japan, such as ICOCA in JR West (Kyoto, Osaka, etc.). These cards are created and managed by the JR companies in some cases and in other cases by local smaller companies -- i.e. Pasmo in Tokyo, SUGOKA in Fukuoka, and PiTaPiTa in the Kansai region. I always thought it was super interesting how diverse the smart card systems were. I collected the 5 mentioned above in my time over there! In fact, this is still what they're mostly used for -- the ability to use them as general function e-cash (and the digital versions of them on mobile devices) are much more recent developments. As such, they're still a bit of a second-class citizen when it comes to payment methods in Japan -- depending on location, the most popular payment method will tend to be either cash or QR code apps like PayPay and Line Pay.

If you want to see a tone deaf reality game show. Watch the gilligan's island reality show. They got people of the professions to play the parts of the contestants. The prize was a million dollars. Since the show had a millionaire and their wife, the richest people who didn't need the money had the best chance at winning. They won.

[@user-.--.-]

wait how did the millionaire have the best chance at winning? (i have never seen this show)

[@chantolove]

@@elliotw.888 There were both the millionaire AND his wife both participating separately in the game show, so together they had 2 times higher odds of getting the million dollars than anyone else.

I personally did not know about Suika being watermelon, and God, it feels so obvious to me now. You're not alone, Alpha.

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

You are both very brave for admitting that publicly, respect.

[@ATSM_33]

@@pixelated_human That's hella understandable. I saw the trailers and shite so I knew about it, but without seeing them, I would have thought the exact same thing. I don't think Splatoon 3 was out then, so it'd make more sense.

i was just hoping the alpharad gold brothers would cover a fresh new game like this! thank you jacob gold and jo gold.

[@Sickmmaner]

I honestly think a series like this is good for any KZbin channel. Just two friends talking over a simple game. That's the kind of content I love right now.

[@swordsmancs]

I knew Suika meant watermelon before Suika game ever popped off because of Dr. Stone; a lot of characters are named after things, like Chrome, Magma, Jasper are pretty clear, but some have Japanese names, like Kinro and Ginro. They mentioned that Kinro and Ginro are named after gold and silver, so I figured that musta been true of the other Japanese-named characters, and yep! One of em’s named Suika, and she wears a watermelon rind on her head as a sort of medieval pair of glasses, and that rind is what she was named after both in and out of the story

[@MedK001]

same!

[@spectrallizz]

I only knew suika meant watermelon because there's a Dr stone character who wears a watermelon helmet and her name is Suika lol

[@infinityheart_tm9270]

Literally the reason why I know better.

[@sakarain]

A lot of those village characters, if not all, are named after objects

In Jacob’s defence, I thought Suika was the genre of game where you drop stuff into a box.

[@appleofdoom]

Question for Alpharad: What did you think Suika meant?

[@lobsterspasta]

Im going to be devastated when Suika month ends. This has been my favorite holiday so far

[@lemonbeef1302]

Ngl, i’ve been popping off every day that a new suika video has been coming out since the second one. They’re just so nice

[@Erros]

The way the combo works is if any fruit combines within a second or 2 since the last combo, so the easiest way to do it is hold down the mouse and wait for the fruit to bunch up and start shifting around when 80% of the jar is filled. The lose condition is a fruit needs to be above the background line of the jar for more than 2 seconds, during this you can reset the countdown by combining another fruti with the one above the line.

I did not know what Suika meant until now. This is more educational than entertainment. Thank you Jacob for also being unlearned in what suika meant.

[@Rubiish_Axel]

This is the video that made me realize: “Oh, that’s what suika means.”

[@magigika]

We need an open world Suika game

[@Kyrmana]

I support this notion

[@jackedgley]

Jacob, I'm with you on this. I just went "oh they call it watermelon game cause you try to get the watermelon" and did not think for a split second what suika actually meant. You're not alone.

[@fishqueen1702]

12:30 so me and my fam are watching Squid Game the challenge and we are honestly really enjoying it, I like the psychological twist they have for the cookie game at least where they force a group of people to agree on what cookie shape each row will do, lead to a some shocking moments. But once you mentioned nothing really happens in the show I kind of realized you’re right. You don’t know the people negatively effected I til like right before their event happens and it is kinda annoying. That being said it is interesting when they do do the psychological stuff like the cookie game thing I mentioned, but that’s like 10-15% of the show and that’s me being generous

[@innertuber4049]

You better not end the week before the much hyped Suika Shapes comes out

[@Pluike]

Omg ive been waiting for you guys to play suika game for sooo long! Im excited, almost as excited as I will be when you pause suika week to play Mario Strikers Charged for wii on my birthday November 29th! (Also Don Cheadles birthday!!)

I find it shocking that he's just now discovering what Suika meant when the subway card in Japan where he was just visiting is also called a Suica and it has a watermelon mascot too

[@deyesed]

Wait I thought suica had a penguin logo. Or is there also a mascot

[@Cantrona]

@@deyesed I might have to go digging for mine but I'm pretty sure there was some sort of watermelon iconography somewhere. Also knowing Japan it wouldn't surprise me if they have several different versions too

[@Shymain]

@@Cantrona Famously, Suica's mascot is a penguin and Icoca's mascot is a platypus! the standard designs for both cards, which are almost universally the ones used, have these mascots on them. There are definitely special editions that have been released (e.g. a Pikachu-themed Suica, cards with both of these mascots on them to celebrate the start to national interoperability back in the mid 2010s) but to my knowledge none with a watermelon. I suspect it would be too obvious of a pun. Maybe you're thinking of the Welcome Suica for tourists with the cherry blossoms?

I had the same discussion as jo with someone on reddit for a good hour. He insisted that somehow speedruns that use glitches take away from "true" glitchless speedruns. He kept comparing it to some people running a marathon and you show up in a car and just didn't want to understand that thats not what it's like, if we use that analogy then it's like having marathon for people to run but also giving the option for people to race in their cars. He then tried to deny that glitched speedruns still take alot of talent and patient and he tried to disprove that by posting mario world credit warp (0 exits) speedruns
