Tweek Talks and Acola (あcola) Discuss Japan Meta and Steve

[@theimpersonator7086]

Acola is the goat for saying that Paper Mario should be DLC Anyway, was really interesting hearing Acola’s view on a lot of things. Also again, kudos to Watch for his excellent translation

Paper > Doctor

Would be a really cool dlc and I’ve never even played those games. Would look cool

[@jeffreylaws5227]

Yo this translator absolutely killed this event!! He did a fuckin awesome job (some of those questions were mad long and wordy) and I just want to give a shout out to him because he was the glue that held this whole cross-cultural experience together for all of us

[@coolersspaceship7964]

So true!!!

[@krusher181]

I just said a really nice comment in reply to this but KZbin deleted it cuz I joking said us Americans aren’t smart. I won’t use the heinous term “dumb” or “Americans” in the same sentence ever again. Thanks KZbin. Ugggh I was trying to say yeah, he did a good job condensing the ideas of the questions into another language and getting good answers. Please don’t delete this comment YT.

I'm loving these interview episodes of Tweek Talks and the podcast in general, but there are a couple improvements that could be made. 1. Saying "you" instead of "acola" or "him" in the question really helps the interviewer feel more comfortable and included in the question. Instead it may feel like the panel is conversing with the translator instead. 2. Letting the translator translate back some of the banter, especially when you guys laugh at some of the hot takes because the interviewee may feel he said something dumb or is being laughed at. Or, simply trying to keep a more calm podcast environment with guests. Imagine saying something to a bunch of foreigners and they all begin laughing and shouting things you cannot understand. It could be very intimidating for someone so young and already nervous. 3. Working on not interrupting each other. Pretty self explanatory, but this is one I've noticed in regular Tweek Talks episodes too and would help the flow of episodes altogether. 4. After a rewatch, I've thought of another to add. This collaboration is big for us as much as it is for Acola and other international players. Giving them a moment to speak to the audience whether it be to celebrate their journey or give thanks to their fans can really help make them feel at place and valued by the NA community. Let it be a back and forth to really give the interviewee their moment to shine, rather than only answering questions that NA fans may want to hear. Overall, I love Tweek Talks and these are just some things I think would improve the podcast for everyone.

Some really great critiques here! :O

[@tristenperez4751]

i mean culturally "you" is rude in japan, so using his name wouldn't be interpreted strangely by acola

[@aIkaIi]

@@tristenperez4751 what? You cannot tell me Japanese people just talk in third person all the time. That's ridiculous.

[@Wolfy129]

Really great points, the second one stood out to me a lot. Edit: I feel like letting the translator interpret their opinions on acola’s response could help create a healthy back and forth discussion. There were time constraints tbh but all in all it was great to hear how different Japanese top players view the game.

[@panosbaxevanos788]

Great episode. Thanks to Tweek, Watch, Acola, and the rest of the gang. I hope this experience and how wonderful you guys made it encourages Acola to come back to compete more in the USA and internationally. One of the things I love most about the Smash community that you don't see in other gaming scenes is how much everyone internationally supports each other and continues a movement to legitimize Smash as an E-sport to Nintendo. Some of the best and must humble pros in all of gaming are in Smash, and it's all driven by their passion.

The problem with diddy is that there will never be a diddy as consistent and clutch as Zero's diddy in smash4. There was no top player as consistent with Diddy as Zero was and the next best diddy was probably Zinoto/Aaron/etc... but Zero was just too far ahead of everyone in terms of consistency. He has less kill power nowadays but maybe the japaense players are looking into that.

I find it very backwards how "pro" ult players know nothing about the roaster unless its that one character they play. Like a uncooked chicken could tell you ryu is #1 shoto. If you took the time to actually learn the characters individually without second guessing yourselves every 30 seconds youd prolly be on a different level. Now just off that alone i stopped watching this. But this is a strong reminder how unnecessarily bland and over the top this game is. Im glad yall get whatever minimum payments to just bullshit on a game with no skill level needed to be something.
