Imagine thinking 30 people for a weekly is low. Bruh come to Kentucky. Our regionals are filled with like 20 people from Lexington, 20 from Louisville, like 5 goblins who make the trek out of Mordor (Eastern KY), and then Butter, wherever the hell Butter is from.
Oh hey, this is my scene. My first PM regional, actually. One of the PM pools didn't finish so the final pot ended up being split 33 ways, so we didn't even walk away with 15 bucks. That's was a long 3 hour drive back home. Didn't go to another large event until Riptide after this lol
OOOOO finally seeing coney react to the olympus video, this is gonna be a super good watch Also i too was at apex 2015 and learned that the actual reason the fire alarm went off was cause someone hung up their towels on the sprinklers for some reason and it flooded the entire floor they were on. I was in the room directly next to that person and all my clothes for the weekend got soaked.
hey, at least the splitter didn't come with a power source 10x stronger than intended that fried the stream set up and two monitors, and left the whole venue smelling like burned circuits.
As a south carolina smash player myself, I would say that the community has gotten a good bit better since this tournament. This year has been pretty big for the tournaments with weekly tournaments happening on Mondays and Wednesdays and the smash Arcadian coming up in September, the smash community is super cool and are just some of the coolest people in the smash scene today
@@blob4477 Especially if you're a melee player we just pick up the scraps of the scraps nintendo leaves to the ult kids and rush to our dark corners like fucking street rats lmao
Oh yeah SlapShoes! I totally know him for his, uh...Smash content. Yeah, that's it. He's definitely one of the better NASCAR content creators, although I haven't seen a ton of notifications from him.
I like how Coney is talking about any smash event under 40 entrants is a dead scene or something like that yet I’ve never been to a local more than 30 entrants and I’ve been in the scene for over a year
Great video! I had my first local recently and it sucked. Super crowded, too damn warm, and everything started late. It didn't help that I got my ass handed to me, but I haven't wanted to go to a local since ha.
its a mix of both-on one hand they have a ton more competitors but on the other their game's publisher actively tries to harm their community and prevent it from succeeding
I'd like to mention something as someone from the upstate SC smash scene. EVERYONE knows about Olympus, this tournament was still being joked about when ultimate came out
Bro, if I invited two friends to stay the night at my place and they brought along more friends to stay at my place those guys ain't my friends no more. They can go sleep in their fucking car.
I think tournaments in 2015 were worse than usual is just new people coming into the scene because Smash 4 and the Melee doc with not much experience, plus the influx of new people due to the new gamr
What was YOUR worst tournament experience?
GETTING MY ROOM FLOODED AT APEX 2015
i lost to a min min
Evo 2017
That one
I wasn’t there for it when it happened, but I heard the venue I went to for tournaments at the time was raided by the FBI
I will say, smash content meme aside, hearing Coney talk about the "good old days" is a super fascinating video topic
there's at least 2 soon, including one BIG one with various stories lol
@@CONEYZZ unironically super hyped
@@CONEYZZ Kinda hoping it won't be as painful as the payment talk at the end of this one, but either way I'll watch it lmao
Framing 2014 as the 'good old days' makes me feel crazy old now
@@CONEYZZ YO I've missed your stories!
This video is two years old what the fuck I thought it was new
How

I had this video show up in my recommended a couple months ago and long story short, I now know 1000x more about NASCAR than I ever did
Check out EmpLemon for a great Playlist called never again. Has a hungry box episode and a dale Earnhardt video. And a wwf episode. So good.
You just know, with all the overcrowding and heat, that it smelled CRAZY in that venue while the tourney was going!
OOOOO finally seeing coney react to the olympus video, this is gonna be a super good watch

APEX VIDEO IS COMING SOON, THAT'S WHAT I HEARD TOO
@@CONEYZZ why are you yelling
yeah why is he yelling
@@wichiewamirez5599 because it's Coney
Who is he yelling at
Coney has such a good voice and delivery that any thing he says is unintentionally and inherently funny to me
Coney talking about the old days of smash is some of my favorite content. My man's the village elder telling tales at the campfire
This is legitimately one of my favorite videos. Slapshoes' made a masterpiece with this one
I feel like you’re just sucked in by the gravity of a real life story, maybe that’s what makes it stand out as a video
hey, at least the splitter didn't come with a power source 10x stronger than intended that fried the stream set up and two monitors, and left the whole venue smelling like burned circuits.
50 dollars for a weekend of work is disgusting. That made me physically ill.
Thank you Coney for telling me to hit the bell so I would be alerted to your uploads so I can watch them

Thank you for linking the original video! That is mad annoying when people run these type of videos and not have links to the original videos.
I love how much the community just kinda makes do with what we’re given.
Yeah we don’t have much so that’s what we should do
no other way to survive
@@blob4477 Especially if you're a melee player
we just pick up the scraps of the scraps nintendo leaves to the ult kids and rush to our dark corners like fucking street rats lmao
@@Parpeing yeah lol
I never expected to see Coney reacting to a slapshoes video LMAO
I'm like the 1% that is a smash player and a nascar fan
Smashcar fans rise up
@@austinfletchermusic On God bruh, I didn't know there were others.
Dang, a Steam Gardens Silvagunner rip for the first song. Editor has some taste in memes.
Outside Smash: Great idea, until your hands are literally too cold to move😂 that shit was rough
Tournament was so bad dude decided to main nascar content.
10:08 when coney is talking about the friendlys and how smash players only want to play smash it is the funniest things i have seen on this platform
I'm so glad we don't commentate in suits anymore
My local bar tournament runs some setups on the back patio outside every week, weather permitting. It's super nice and adds to the overall chill vibe.
I love how this used to be titled "the worst tournament of all time"
But after the apex 2015 video it says "this tournament was fine"
Oh yeah SlapShoes! I totally know him for his, uh...Smash content. Yeah, that's it.
He's definitely one of the better NASCAR content creators, although I haven't seen a ton of notifications from him.
NASCARposting HYPE
Man, watching your videos feels like sitting around a campfire. I adore your videos Coney. Thanks for making them!
I like how Coney is talking about any smash event under 40 entrants is a dead scene or something like that yet I’ve never been to a local more than 30 entrants and I’ve been in the scene for over a year
I fucking love NASCAR I’m subbing
Esam with hair is cursed
I hope Coney and EE going over this video causes the scene to revive.
Great video!
I had my first local recently and it sucked. Super crowded, too damn warm, and everything started late. It didn't help that I got my ass handed to me, but I haven't wanted to go to a local since ha.
I like how every time ESAM was mentioned or shown, chat mentions his hair lol
Hate to say it, but I feel like Project M is the epitome of “just play in the hallway.”
I love it when coney, my favorite content creator, steals content from EE OMEGALUL
Slapshoes is better known for finding the site of an abandoned speedway in Greenville, SC that hosted a NASCAR Cup Series race back in the 1950s.
He popped off so hard over homie code, I'm dead!
Being someone who went to clemson, and knowing just how small the building is for something that large, is so sad
SMASH 4 IN THE HALLWAY
MELTY BLOOD IN THE BATHROOM
AS IT SHOULD BE
One day I'm gonna get back into the smash community, and maybe attend a tournament or two, but for now daily showers and fighterz it is.
I love the jazzy music at the end, so comfy
Now I get why he moved onto NASCAR content
2015 is where my book begins ironically.
Question: do smashers really think that their game is the little guy or do they just know they are top dog
its a mix of both-on one hand they have a ton more competitors but on the other their game's publisher actively tries to harm their community and prevent it from succeeding
@@jhozan opposite skullgirls
@@jhozan basically this
They get top tier numbers and bottom tier payouts
As a lifelong fan of fighting games and fighting game tournaments... I am so glad I'm not a Smash player.
As someone who plays fighting games AND Smash.. your loss??
ok but Olympus 2016 was fire, especially from the PM side
I watched that video and instantly got like 3 nascar videos in my recommended
My worst experience is going to a smash tournament since everyone stinks
👏
So true about smashers always wanting to play. My friend will play rounds of smash in queues for apex and be just standing there when we land lol
we never talked about payment and getting a check is the life of a drum tech tbh
this made me realize just how much work being a TO is, like I doubt I could do this.
The scary part? This was posted on April 1st. I was expecting some form of funny, but instead, just got a normal video. Aint complaining.
I'd like to mention something as someone from the upstate SC smash scene. EVERYONE knows about Olympus, this tournament was still being joked about when ultimate came out
seeing this just makes me think about the disaster of a time that was my experience with the smash bros community
Slapshoes isn't just a NASCAR poster, he's one of the best NASCAR posters
Did the famous tie clip come from the suit era?
Coney watching SlapShoes is WILD
Bro, if I invited two friends to stay the night at my place and they brought along more friends to stay at my place those guys ain't my friends no more. They can go sleep in their fucking car.
Before I continue this video, fuck you you got me good with that siivagunner rip God damn I laughed so hard
subscribed because of siivagunner bgm, thank ur editor
This video will probably get way more views because smash
i enjoyed this lookback in the past.
this video reminded me that my first smash memory was watching civil war on disney xd or something like that LMAO
Just hearing "South Carolina" made it all make sense
I remember when I wanted to go to tournaments but never had anyone to go with and I was still in high school at that time
Coney is my favorite old man because he yells about everything he doesn’t like. But in a funny way.
10:08 das the truth right there. smash above all baby
I had that darth vader shirt in high school lmao
What's the song in the beginning mixed with the 64 character select?
What's the link to that smooth version of the brawl theme in the beginning?
When I was watching this I realised that I am literally wearing the EXACT SAME Darth Vader shirt XD
the dashcon of smash tourneys
30 people is low? Our locals get at most 20 people each time… our biggest bracket this year was 25 people.
Slapshoes nascar content is amazing
I think tournaments in 2015 were worse than usual is just new people coming into the scene because Smash 4 and the Melee doc with not much experience, plus the influx of new people due to the new gamr
bro say what you will about slapshoes being a nascar content creator but my man knows how to present a story
i played 11 hours today. and i probably will tomorrow
Good ol' S1apShoes.
If coney doesn't go back to commenting what will I do at smash events? Watch the game play? No no no no
The smash came out on april fools but it was really well made
Grampa coney with the war stories damn
man watching this and seeing all the old brawl/melee heads from the southeast areaa triggered the biggest boomer moment i've ever had
thanks bro
Yo
100$ for 16 hours, while doing smash related shit?
Sign me in for that
Making less than 100$/16 hours already anyway
SiIvaGunner rip in the beginning PogU
why do i feel like How i met your mother had a hand in the suits
any primers
Apex story soon please!
5 videos in 5 days?!
gaming
Thank you
This poor man
Editing note: music wayyy too loud. Just trying to be helpful :)
if you ever make smash content, make content that makes fun of stuff that went wrong in smash
I LOVE turndownforwalt’s content and theapex 2015 video
Notifications are slow. I’m fast.
Apex is legendary though... never heard of olympus b4....
Olympus Has Fallen
South Carolina represent!…. Oh no.
I like the dog. He is so cute
Yooo I live in that area
SKTAR/KTAR lmao, that's the actual worst
