A slow boxing match but instead of drugging people up and making them far faster, we make them fight on a tight-rope where they could mess up at any given moment
I can't say anything about its competitive merit, but I have made an active effort to watch all of the most important historical sets from smash to get a good feel for every game, and this ruleset was by far the most fun I had watching brawl
It is truly remarkable that your channel exists. That there is someone so passionate about this game also has the editing skills and comedy chops to weave all this together and make it digestible, basically keeping brawl alive for those who missed it or wish to relive it. I hope someone like you comes along for smafoursh one day, cuz the longer ult drags on the more i miss my silly rage-ladders game.
@Calmtimer Unironically I want that mode to come back to Smash but on console. Please it was so fun! Give me more enemies and maybe like 4 maps instead of just the one and I would play it a ton.
I just gotta say you are a godsend for actually putting timestamps for your music. So many TH-camrs don't even list the music used in the description and it's so annoying Anyway, keep up the great content🫡
I would like the menu music in XC3 if it didn't interrupt the background music every time, and loudly at that. Instead, it is my most hated track from the game, and it is personal.
i remember watching this tourney when i was getting into melee back in 2014. It was a format I always was hoping to get to play it but sadly never saw a copy of brawl at my local after that. Was a fun one to watch tho. Great video man
I'll be honest when I say my best memories of Brawl were in Project M doing pretty much exactly what you mentioned in the video, booting it up like I was a magician or something and playing it with friends, that said, during the heyday of PM I did compete in 1 PM tournament before Nintendo got involved and kinda killed the scene, it was at my high school and wasn't recorded or broadcasted anywhere, but I did beat 4 other people and get to quarter finals with Toon Link and was knocked out (there was no loser bracket) by the guy (a Falco player) who won the whole thing. Other than that, I don't have many standout memories of Base Brawl itself.
I don't play Smash but you have single-handedly turned me into a fan of it. I consider myself a part of the community now and enjoy watching tournaments and locals.
lowkey the best parts of brawl where the nail biter timeout situations. 1 stock brawl is like ideal for encouraging this so I think it was the best. I think if it was played more today 1 stock brawl would have become the standard. It's just hard to get people onboard with change.
Feel there could've been a lil more info on the tournament itself? Felt like so much of it was spent on the events surrounding it rather than the event itself. Maybe there isn't much during it, but was a lil disappointed when it finally got time to talk of the event and the video was practically over by then.
I see you getting more consistent with the editing and doing some stuff to make it more interesting. I liked some of the interesting graphic design! Keep up the good work. :)
This is super irrelevant but I was watching a playthrough of Madagascar for the ps2 yesterday and liked the themes so listened to the full ost while on a 16 mile run through the snowy city of Boston. I didn't care for much of the themes but one stuck that stuck with me that I listened on loop for an hour and became the defining tune for the run was the song at 4:22 I just wanted to share this personal story cause unlikely moments like this are what I live for.
I feel so weirdly nostalgic learning all the history I missed about this silly little competitive scene. There's truly a world behind every niche experience isnt there
There are ways to make Brawl better via rulesets that haven't been fully explored. Final Smashes can be allowed in Doubles play due to the high chance of KOing your teammate. Other items can also be considered. Heavy Brawl is a thing. Also, handicaps exist and would've been the easiest way to balance the cast against eachother.
Frankly Im down for more unusual rules tourneys. Fuck it. Sudden Death Tourney. Whole event will be like an hour. Opposite direction, regular tourney but the finals are a First to 10 Ironman.
I still feel like 1 stock is actually pretty great for Brawl. I've done friendly sessions with friends and games would be fast and exciting, I'd love to see people embrace the format and give it another shot
A slow boxing match but instead of drugging people up and making them far faster, we make them fight on a tight-rope where they could mess up at any given moment
Cook
Okay but I would watch two people fighting on a tightrope as an event.
So less modern Yu-Gi-Oh and more a decent card game? I'd take that.
8:10 ZSS trips like 0.35 seconds into the match LOL
peak cinema
A fate worse than death
Probably cause it leads to death but still
Yet another reminder that tripping Is completely random
10/10 haven’t even watched yet
^
Would watch again
10/10 did watch it
Haven't watched it yet, classic
I think you'll like it.
Can't wait for coney to watch this in 3 days and then the highlights get posted a week later
Generally coney seems to wait a week before watching
Gatekeep reaction vids
Hey i won that! 1 stock mk vs ics was really funny cuz i can die right when the match starts to 1 grab.
It's the legend himself!! I'm such a huge fan. Glad to see you here!

Have you watched the Leo vs. Spargo set?
@litessbuin what game

Intro goes hard
Here before Coney’s entire chat spams cuh at the end of the video
Funny enough, I JUST finished watching Coney's reaction to the edgeguarding video before seeing this get uploaded.
cuh
cuh
cuh
cuh
9:17 I was not ready for that "Smfoursh" jumpscare 😂
Sm4sh is always a jumpscare, especially the 3DS version.
@@AsherCaldwell At least 3DS had peak Smash Run
@Calmtimer Unironically I want that mode to come back to Smash but on console. Please it was so fun! Give me more enemies and maybe like 4 maps instead of just the one and I would play it a ton.
@gregvs.theworld451 fr. Sakurai gave us City Trial back for a hot second, but limited it to one map on handheld. 😢

Anyway, keep up the great content🫡
COUGH COUGH CONEY
Here before Coney lol and also nice use of the Iris Network at 9:46, I love Xenoblade 3, and fantastic job with the video!
Nah bro CONEY just got to the last video
REAL I was just about to comment the same thing
I would like the menu music in XC3 if it didn't interrupt the background music every time, and loudly at that. Instead, it is my most hated track from the game, and it is personal.
This kind of feels like an attempt to instill a "sense of Street Fighter" into Smash and I appreciate it for that
this is the tournament that made me able to say "i beat mang0's fox with kirby"
CYBERGRIND MUSIC INTRO, MILLIONS MUST ULTRAKILL
i remember watching this tourney when i was getting into melee back in 2014. It was a format I always was hoping to get to play it but sadly never saw a copy of brawl at my local after that. Was a fun one to watch tho. Great video man
Brawl plays more like street fighter neutral and pacing wise, that’s why I love it but 1 stock does makes Brawl so much more exciting for me.
I can see that. It makes me appretiate it too
5:44 now SM6SH is gonna be run with 4-stock tourneys, to keep the pattern going
I read this as shmix
I actually remembered the commentators getting hype over 1 Mang0 up air as soon as you mentioned it. So funny XD

A new Brawlternative vid, thank you Santa!
truly this is a WhyDoBadThingsHappenToGoodPeople's tournament Bad Things Happening To Good People moment
I would never comment on someone intro, but that was one of the cleanist intro graphics I ever seen, definitely never change that graphic!
Hi brawlternative
hi :)
2:16 ah yes the coney reaction bait
Feel there could've been a lil more info on the tournament itself? Felt like so much of it was spent on the events surrounding it rather than the event itself. Maybe there isn't much during it, but was a lil disappointed when it finally got time to talk of the event and the video was practically over by then.
Sonic 3's release viewing, my birthday, AND a new Brawlternative video? PEAK
Today is my birthday too!
Happy birthday to both of you guys
Happy birthday you two!
also my birthday! and i'm also watching sonic 3 lol happy birthday
BABE WAKE UP NEW BRAWLTERNATIVE
Noticed "Rave On" from Killer7 on the soundtrack, so subscribed and liked. Would have done both a hundred times if it let me, this channel slaps.
5:09 As someone who mains Yoshi in both Melee and Ultimate, I felt this one in my very soul (mained Diddy and Olimar in Brawl)
Zero suit now s tier
6:35 I also like the slower play of brawl and smash 4 because it's more strategic by being more methodical and less mash heavy
Another banger. You're so real for using the killer7 hallway theme.
I am interested in the development of the Smash scene into (very broadly) Melee and Current Smash Game, so thank you for touching on it here
cant belive your videos are soo good that even THE Meta Knight is a patreon member
It's a small thing but those crossy road sound effects are like crack to my brain lol, keep up the good work king
Up until the end of smash 4, my local still had 1-2 setups for brawl and PM, but after Ultimate came out I've never seen anyone playing 4.
I see you getting more consistent with the editing and doing some stuff to make it more interesting. I liked some of the interesting graphic design! Keep up the good work. :)
"stage builder" shooketh the bones
That Finals ost flared the fuck out of my neurons
Brawl will always have a special place for all us Wii warriors.
appreciate you accurately portraying the scene and pm's position in it in 2013. people loooooove to bullshit about that part of history.
Thank you bra alternative for the high quality smash content
bra alternative: just don't wear a bra
MORE BRAWLTERNATIVE YES
Can't believe out of all gams, brawl is the one that gets me coming back
This is super irrelevant but I was watching a playthrough of Madagascar for the ps2 yesterday and liked the themes so listened to the full ost while on a 16 mile run through the snowy city of Boston. I didn't care for much of the themes but one stuck that stuck with me that I listened on loop for an hour and became the defining tune for the run was the song at 4:22
I just wanted to share this personal story cause unlikely moments like this are what I live for.
Wasn’t ready for the Madagascar OST. Unlocked a whole chapter of my memory
KILLER 7 MUSIC?????? ITS PEAKKKKKKKKKKKK
Huge fan of this content. brawl was the smash game i grew up on, really fun to see it get some attention for once.
ULTRAKILL MENTIONED RAHHHH
I loved his insight at 8:34
PEAKTERNATIVE NEVER CHANGE WE LOVE YOU
can't believe this came out the same day Coney posted his reacting to the last one
I feel so weirdly nostalgic learning all the history I missed about this silly little competitive scene. There's truly a world behind every niche experience isnt there
Project M mentioned. Swell with uncontainable hype, 47 spam, and brutal DMCAs.
10/10 music we love the finals in this house
probably your best video yet, i loved it
Jesus the editing went crazy. I would love a video about Brawl's favorite starter, Smashville! That would be epic!!
Keep up the good content bro. Happy to support on patreon :)
Thanks for extending my knowledge gathering on one of my special interests (the smash series)

Shoutout to using XC3 music at the end 💜
8:20 Ah, Coolwhip. I remember him. I was friends with him and we did Mario dittos quite a few times. Good times.
Ayyy "The Finals" music. For the start of the video. Nice.
Waiter! There is some ULTRAKILL in my Brawl video! ....no that wasn't a complaint.
Based choice of using Rave On, it's such a goated track
Absolute Cinema ✋😐🤚
Aaaaah, the number of stocks, a historical debate, and a heated one in Sm4sh, I was a 3 stocks advocate
Lovely video, new intro is fire
Just finished watching Coney's video on your last video, your timing is immaculate.
Frankly Im down for more unusual rules tourneys.
Fuck it. Sudden Death Tourney. Whole event will be like an hour.
Opposite direction, regular tourney but the finals are a First to 10 Ironman.
Wait a minute, he said Smash 4 in the intro instead of Smfoursh! GET HIM!
great video!!! thanks for putting that dastardly ratchet cat in the outro ^_^
Pretty good video as always ! You went nuts on the editing !
Nice, Brawlternative season 2 has a sick opening!
The ultrakill music started and I knew it was gonna be peak
I remember watching this back when the Brawl was on the way out and Smash 4 was on the way in. It was fun
Brilliant once again
Love the new intro dude
Best smash creator in the scene right now
FELLAS, let's watch a new Brawlternative video, SHALL WE?!?
fire as always dude
This could be an interesting turbo format. We need this in tourneys now.
Is that Finals music??? Yes!
That xenoblade music for the outro sent chills down my spine. Yeeeesh.
I heard that ULTRAKILL music in the intro, excellent taste good sir.
best editor because you dont spam whooosh sound effects
I like brawl because it is cool and checking the smash dojo every day after school was just a fun time to be in middle school
The idea of being able to lose a tournament from only 3 mistakes sounds frustrating as hell
dropping a video right after coney’s is genius
1:31 The ZSS player is Salem for those who are wondering
I still feel like 1 stock is actually pretty great for Brawl. I've done friendly sessions with friends and games would be fast and exciting, I'd love to see people embrace the format and give it another shot
ZSS goes up to a or s tier lol
@zs9652 hell yeah she does lmao
In Smash Ultimate I made a "fighting game" ruleset with 2 sets in Stamina mode and the quick pace is really fun in 1v1s actually.
Your videos are immortal
Hearing the NY chase song from the magascar game gave me flashbacks 😂
"Let's title a video about a topic where I actively avoid talking about it for over half the video"
Love the new intro!
I'm playing The Finals rn and the intro made me tab in and out of my game like 5 times
