The Meme That Became An Esport - Competitive Shrek SuperSlam

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Shrek Super Slam was a game that was most definitely never design with esports in mind, but that hasn't stopped a community from coming together and create a competitive scene.
Video game spinoffs based off of a successful movie franchise often fail to deliver or are quickly forgotten, but in rare cases, they are able to stand on their own and even develop a niche competitive community.

Shrek SuperSlam is one of my favorite videos of yours
"Players have to fill up a slam meter, which allows them to land a special attack that takes away one stock."
I can't believe that out of all the goddamn games in the world, PlayStation All-Stars ripped off Shrek SuperSlam of all things.
This type of game is somehow popular with cartoon knockoff at the times (I play a Tom and Jerry game that’s basically that when I was a kid), so you have to trace your knockoff root far back to the lazy age of cartoon game
I was looking for this comment when they said that lmao still more tech than all stars 🤣
@@minhkhangtran6948 Was that game by any chance called Tom & Jerry in Fists of Furry?
@@ShadowStrikerTheLoneWolf Yeah that the one. God that game is just idiot fun for my idiot brain back then
Honestly PS all-stars wasn’t a bad game. It got shafted cause Sony didn’t put in the effort to get iconic characters from 3rd parties. No character from Final Fantasy (FF 7 to 11 were PS exclusive). Using emo Donte (DmC is multi-plat) instead of OG Dante who was an PS exclusive. Raiden is okay, but most people who rather have Snake. Lara Croft is missing. No Spyro and Crash Bandicoot, the mascot of the PS1 era is gone.
I know achieving licensing for these characters are difficult, but Sony definitely had the money to. Instead they just chose to cheap out and went with a half-assed roster, missing out on a bunch of PS icons.
Still hoping Sony make PS All stars 2. Lots of good exclusives came out in the PS4 era and most of them are first party titles (TLOS, GoW reboot, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn, Bloodbourne, Death Stranding, Spider Man, Nioh, Persona 5...)
2019 who is you your smash main
2021 who is your shrek superslam main
DONKEH

I used to play this game with my brothers and cousins. We literally used to create our own tournament brackets and we treated it like a real competition. Who knew an actual competitive scene existed though.
Would be hilarious if you brought your brothers and cousins once more when lockdown is over and locals start happening commonly again haha
Man, I miss meeting my friends.
Turns out you guys are the OG top players. Maybe y'all should make a comeback?
@@makogp747 your letting the government control your mind I hope you realise that and free yourself
wow, i'm speechless haha
it always makes me so happy to see superslam be appreciated as more than just a joke. glad all of our hard work over the years is going down in history.
never expected to be a big part of a video by my favorite esports outlet
thank you, akshon :)
The man the myth
The legend
You are a legend!
Is this the real one?
oh my god it's him
I had to stop when you said those tourney names without missing a beat.
"Absolutely Pissed Off"
"Time to Get Shrekt"
"Tyler's Shrek Superslam Tournament Part 2"
Shrek is a masterpiece thats all i have to say
You too watch Schafrillas?
no matter how much someone thinks the game is a joke, anyone with a brain will be able to see the passion in these players. massive respect.
I remember buying this game as a goof and ended up completeing it 100%
Akshon: Chess
Me: I sleep
Also Akshon: Shrek SuperSlam
Me: REAL SH*T
Me aswell
This just prove that the more unfinished a fighting game is the more the game become technical.
I remember playing this with my friend as a joke and thinking ‘Damn. Wouldn’t it be great if this was an esport?’
People have put more effort into mastering a shrek tie in than PlayStation allstars
This game has a really special place in my heart. I had really good times playing it solo, with my siblings, family and friends. It was such a blast. I passed a lot of afternoons trying to complete the Mega Challenge mode, and the Story mode was fun for a kid who didn't understand english.
But ultimately, it was a gift from my grandmother who just passed away. She didn't knew it at the time, but it would bring me a lot of fun memories.
Thanks, Mamá ♥️
The way you describe Shrek SuperSlam makes me think the game was way ahead of its time, despite being made in 2005. Now I wanna play it...
"To win the match, you have to land 4 infinites in a row." What a chad game
Playstation allstars battle royale is the saddest story I know
If anyone could rival the smash hype, it was PlayStation, but unfortunately fun games aren't their archetype.
i literally played this game on stream as a joke with my friends and we had a ton of fun. its actually a pretty decent game
Any Akshon Esports video is an instant watch
So basically m2k's equivelent is meowmix, Mang0's is Squechu, Armada's is Provider of Souls and PPMD's would be Scrub Jr
Except most of these players are inactive
@@drsherifff most of them are ppmd
This was one of the few games i remember my dad getting me. Its aged decently surprisingly
Friggin' LOVED this game back in the day, it gave 12-year-old me endless hours of giggle fits and fun. Now almost 27, I smile seeing this game having such a dedicated community of players who go hard in the paint to learn the ins and outs of a title I would have never expected, but loved. Also the music is rad. Overall, I'd say even without the esports following, it all adds to an experience that is weird to the point of turning around towards awesome.
I hate how much sense this all makes.
Reminds me more of Power Stone, to be honest. The "get points by defeating your oppenents with supers" was something that PlayStation All-Stars would use as its main gameplay mechanic.
I enjoyed Shrek Super Slam as a kid but I'd never have expected this kind of resurgence or development. It was fascinating to learn about and a great video overall. I'm am surprised that it is compared to Super Smash Bros so often when you'd think the go-to comparison would be the Power Stone series.
I remember playing this game so much as a kid, I even remember it having a surprisingly solid story mode as well as the black knight character being really OP.
Me, seeing this on the top of my front page: The meme that *what*?
It takes great discipline of both mind & body to master Shrek Super Slam.
Tech in every game is just a fancy way to say "Glitches we've learned to abuse".
Idk why but I forgot about this game for over 10 years and watching this in 2023 is just crazy to me this brings back so many memories
Who would have thought that this surprisingly fun and goofy game that I rented for a weekend from Blockbuster twenty years ago would be more popular than ever? The internet is a crazy place.
Super Slam has been one of my favorite fighting games since I was a kid. Inused to rentit from the rental place in my town all the time. Shrek super slam is such a unique and fun game.
Never knew one of my most fun DS games (I had the DS version lol) made as a cashgrab had a competitive scene for the memes.
I've probably said this before, but I'd absolutely adore to see you cover BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle or Under Night In-Birth.
Consider joining the discord so you can directly give your suggestion to them! 🤗
For a franchise that's 20 years old, this deserves a video!
Ive only played this like once as a meme but it was unironically fun as fuck. I'm sure it would only continue to be so
...its Power Stone
I got this game for PS2 at the Paramount, CA swap meet and just being so excited to return home to pop it in and play. Being a fan of the competitive melee scene this makes me laugh 😂
If I got a coin for every time a fighting game full with glitches became competitive to the point where players focus on the use of the glitch instead of the rest of the game, I would have 2 coins, that isn't a lot but is strangely that happened twice
Fuckin loved this game as a kid, this and the Tom & Jerry fighting game were seriously underrated.
How does a Shrek game have this much depth
A lot of *deep* gameplay mechanics in a lot of games are surprisingly unintentional. Usually the result of a bug, a fix to the bug, or just a workaround.
Even the most widely known deep gameplay mechanics, the combo system started as a bug for Street Fighter. You can watch Akshon's video on the topic: th-cam.com/video/iujsL6jMME0/w-d-xo.html
Just get it over with game industry, create an officially licensed Meme Fighters!
Shrek superstar was actually so good I stg I had a Damn BLAST playing it
This is still one of my favorite games to this day
I played this as a child and I must say it was an absolute banger
i loved shrek superslam, i used to play it all the time! i remember my cd got damaged so i decided to steal it from my childhood friend lol
Ahhhh yes, the Power Stone Killer itself
The game is basically mixing power stone and Playstation all stars
0:50 Beautiful transition
Not to be political but that competitive scene outlived the confederacy
Bro I've just downloaded the game yesterday for the sake of the old days and TH-cam recommended this today bruh
Ah one of my old favorite games, if only i can play it again...
One of my favorite games in the past
Loved this game as a kid, also the Billy and Mandy fighting game was super fun, good times!
I used to main as dronkey back in the day.
I've never been the biggest fan of Shrek but I have played this game as well as Shreks 1 & 2 as a kid. Of the 3 I've always had the most fun with Shrek SuperSlam and spent hours on it (I played the PC version and only got the GC version a few years ago at a local R U Games). Aside from the annoying challenge mode rule of ties favoring the opponent this was a nice game. I had no idea a competitive community existed but it seems interesting.
Me checking this wasn't an april fools video
Shrek Superslam was a great game
I love this game i couldn't believe you made a video about it wth
We bought this game for my little sister back in the original xbox days, we thought it was a pretty crappy game just so that she could pass the time.
Boy, we played this game like crazy, we couldn't get enough.
I guess every childhood fighting is gonna be an esport.
I can see this game getting a remaster if there is a new shrek movie
OMG my old smash friend Emily told me about this game and how in depth it actually was, glad to see it get the attention it deserves lmao
sorzan??
Bro I used to have this game for the OG DS and I had no idea it was this big of a deal!
Average super smash bros fan
Vs
Average Shrek slam enjoyer
How did I miss this???
I remember being around 7-9 years old playing this game and the Burger King sneak game at my best friends house...havent talked to them since 9th grade miss the little pricks 🙇♂️
I see Shrek, I click
I can't wait for when they release the HD remastered version
"...at Time to Get Shrecked" man shit, they get the best tournament names too?!
Playing this shit since 2009
Edit: maybe earlier I don't really remember it's been a long time
Get Shrek into EVO!
playstation all stars was a unique (to meat least) platform fighter. you built up your meter to one of 3 levels and each one was a different killing blow. level one being the easiest to get was also the easiest to bait and play around but level 3 supers sometimes wiped the whole screen. goddamn shame we never got another one.
Sony smash (PlayStation all stars battle royale) plays the same way as SSS what with taking stocks with super moves, but it’s 2d like smash. On paper it should work. PlayStation does have great exclusives. Yet this one franchise has a better roster and the 3D arena makes this genius.
Playstation All Stars deserves a remake
dude i play this game when I was a kid, didn't know the mehcanic can be that complex.
Can't believe I owned an underrated gem with an underground cult and slept on it :(
Only fitting that Academy Award winning and Library of Congress preserved film Shrek has an esports worthy game.
I remember playing this game from Blockbuster 😂
so it's Playstation Allstars mixed with Power Stone
6:45 "I was 13 at the time- I was very against making myself into a meme"
now you're conducting an interview over discord about a Shrek game with an anime girl picture and cringe font for your name. I guess all things do change with time.
I guarantee the FGC will include Shrek Superslam as a main event beafore Skullgirls
This is back when games were fun.
Crumpet dashing
Shrek is Love Shrek is Life
I wish Power Stone was an eSport
There are some that play it
Shivery miyamoto have you heard of shrek superslam
I remember this game when I was little
It's PowerStone
Blessed by lord Shrek him self
It’s beautiful
it reminds me when Dunkey beat Sky in Smash
Thnk u 4 all this shrek in the video
If this DreamWorks and universal notices this, will they pull a Nintendo and shut down the competitive scene, or will they capitalize on it by remaking the game with ranked online play?
I remember a shrek wresting game on GBA. That game was fun.
I played this so much as a kid
What they NEED to do is make another Power Stone 😡
The powerstone sequel that we deserve.
Yo this game SLAPPED
Does anybody want a Shrek SuperSlam Remaster/Remake? I know I do.
Only real Shrek fans will remember shrekchan
