Your video sucks
@★ Froggie Animation ★
You know im joking right?
I am watching it RN! Thank you for bringing it ot my attention!
I a see j
"Some of them pros, some of them Ludwig"
bruh
That part killed me
Who's Ludwig?
@@jayanths1221 he used to commentate/compete in smash, now he is a variety twitch streamer who also steams pokemon
Meanwhile internet funnyman there be like
@@jayanths1221 Probably best known as Slime's friend
“Competitive Pokemon is like competitive Smash, except you always main Hero.”
- Alpharad, 2019
No galar for u
This is stupid
Well that explains how well he's done in the tournament huh?
@@JayceCH. nah, i bate galar idiot
@Rock bruh typical lmao
Next is gonna be the Pokemoners guide for competetive smash characters.
Everyone: How tf are Pichu and Pikachu top tier?
also everyone: How is Mewtwo mid tier?
Everyone: ohh hey Greninja needs skill to play now, damn :/
@@shine-ub6eb
Everyone: Oh hey Lucario's Aura is actually useful now.
Ah, I see Charizard is outclassed by Ivysaur and Squirtle
@@ivymez2364 Easy. This is a Blaze Incineroar, not an Intimidate one.
Dracovish in Smash?
Instant SS tier.
But final smashes are banned so fischious rend wouldnt be on it.
I really hope it becomes real in the next game
Just spam his move and you win.
Dracovish has become the current gen's Talonflame, spam _THAT ONE MOVE_ and you win
Even Joker will dread the Fisheous Rend
6:20 I'm surprised comparisons to the Mii fighters didn't come up, the one element in Smash where it's like Pokémon in that you don't always know what moves they'll have access to.
Hey - writer here! I actually had that in the original script, but because my passion for this topic was so huge, we had to cut some stuff down so we weren't delivering a 40 minute video. Good thoughts though - great minds think alike. ;)
Don't most tournament rulesets require your to name your Mii's accordingly though? Like 1111 for normal moveset.
The real question is who used their dynamax on a Vileplume with 22 hp left?
An absolute madman.
It's Alpharad, duh. Carl is the one to save him from almost certain doom from ESam's Pikachu
Every host of every max raid battle. Yeah that's a cool tyranitar you got there but why did you bring it in and dynamax it against a fighting type that's just gonna ohko it?
K9affirmative then there’s the NPC’s solrock in the corner using cosmic power
Vileplume might not have been faster. it was probably a good play at the start of the turn but then it got hit hard.
Dracovish: My trainers refuses to kill me so i'm going to kill everything else in the most painful ways possible!
"Some of them pros, some of them Ludwig"
*Ludwig will remember that*
He *WON.*
HollowNo he won
10:23.
The greatest moment in Pokemon History.
How GOOD was 2 uploads in a day ACTUALLY?
Hello twin brother
why am i watching this? i already know both scenes pretty well
...oh yeah because it’s FSG
If its a FSG video your mandated by law to watch it
Wolfe’s channel has been growing a lot as of late due to the increased interest in VGC. Happy to see you promoting this!
Jwanie Plus he got alpharad on the channel and together started THE Mr Fish apocalypse.
Rusty TBH, that’s why I run a choice scarf dracovish offense team
@@rusty8311 thank you mr fish
Woah :O
Sup Bro
That moment when two of your favorite TH-camrs meet each other
"some of them pros some of them ludwig"
Alpharad is going to absolutely sweep this. He’ll be all like “Wouldn’t it be funny if this crit” and it will.
The man did this comment not age well...
This could be talking about pokemon or him playing hero and i feel like both are equally likely
@@senpaiyoshi6660 y
0:36
That aged well. Ludwig7
Also thank u mr fish and mr bird
Here's the biggest rule:
Pichu sucks in Pokemon. Don't use him.
Even pickachu isn't good
"A weaker Scald, which might burn your opponent"
Scald burn chance when I use it: 10%
Scald burn chance against me: 95%
I swear this channel was made for me. I love both of these game’s series and I’ve seen every video on comp history. Love your stuff bro.
I think it says a lot about the quality of these videos, that despite knowing everything they talk about, I still really enjoy this video. Keep up the good work as always
I’m the type of idiot who stealth rocks a wild Pokémon
Edit: how did this get 100 likes?
That brings up a good question... would Stealth Rock affect SOS-summoned Pokémon in Sun and Moon?
@@ThisIsntATH-camr I tried that, but forgot what happened. Oof.
@@ThisIsntATH-camr I know sticky webs works for sure, that's how I hunted for HA fomantis. I'd wager that rocks works too
@@ThisIsntATH-camr Yes, Stealth Rock works. When I hunted for a shiny Carbink, I set Stealth Rock so I could one shot the Sturdy ones.
@@ZGlove. That's good strategy. I will hunt shiny Sableye soon so thanks for that.
18:23 Oh, yeah. It's all coming together.
There’s so much archaic trash talk to every participant in this tourney and I love it so much.
A video ft Wolfe Glick showcasing his VGC teams he used over the years would be so fun now that the channel has gone over so many diferent Pokemon.
"Some of them pros, some of them Ludwig."
Do I need to give Ludwig an ice pack?
Yes
I'm lost. What's the joke here?
@@StarlightMagician false swipe low-key roasted Ludwig
@@smitegrinder3854 I know that, but what's the roast on Ludwig about?
@@StarlightMagician he's saying Ludwig is bad at Smash XD
13:00 this darm clip pisses me off just seeing it. i wouldnt even be able to hit 4 in a row, much less flinch 3 of them. for those who don't know, icicle crash has 90% accuracy with a 30% chance to flinch upon hitting one.
21:34- Bowser has 4th highest dash speed in Ultimate, so instead try imagining Incineroar using Speed Mondo and suddenly being faster than Sonic dash speed
No more like falcon pumch suddenly becomes frame 1
Is that really true? That seems overkill.
Skeeter Mania Pokémon is turn-based game, so that means one person has to go before the other. Who goes first is decided by how high their Pokémon’s speed is. So if you have 2 Pokémon, one with 150 speed and one with 100 speed, the one with 150 will move first because it’s higher.
Trick room is a move that for the next 5 turns after it’s activated, the speed values are flipped. Each Pokémon keeps its speed value, but now the value means the opposite of what is displayed. So now the Pokémon with 100 speed will move before the one with 150 speed, because it’s speed is lower.
So if this was applied to running speed in smash, Sonic would become the slowest and Incineroar would be the fastest.
TL;DR- Trick room makes the Pokémon with lower speed move first, with the exception of priority moves.
SSGSS 4 Goku 11 What’s with this response?
Skeeter Mania
I don’t know, I’m bored and I got a notification about a reply so I decided “why not”
Double Upload?!
Also Jigglypuff Final Smash = Dynamax
Ultra Plant also Dynamax.
This event sounds hilarious. I love it
I don't know how this is the first time I've seen this type of videos from you, and I've subbed you for 3 or 4 years, please make more of these content!
That was a genuinely quality video. Thanks for the upload
As a smash player for the past 4 years and a big fan of this channel and SSBM, I feel like this video was made exclusively for me. I’ve been playing some Showdown lately and it’s been so much fun. What a great video.
Thank you for staying adamant about differentiating between VGC and Smogon. Too many newbies get messed up by click bait news that says "X is banned in pokemon competitive play" when it's just the smogon rules.
This was the last video I needed to wacth in your channel. Now I've seen them all, and I don't regret it one bit! I love your content.
Thank you so much for making this video! Whenever I learn how to play a new game at a more-than-casual level I always instinctively relate it to Smash Bros, and this video makes that connection perfectly. Maybe next you could make a reverse of this video for competitive Pokemon fans who are curious about competitive Smash? Anyways have a good day!
You posted this on the day of the event? Awesome man, good timing
"And if you're a stall player, don't expect a lot of sympathy"
*jigglypuff camping intensifies*
A great and amusing video (as always really)! Enjoyed it a lot, not much more to say than that. Keep it up!
Introducing: A Professional Pokémon player guide to Competitive fishing and bug hunting in Animal Crossing! Come April!
I've been into Pokemon for longer than Smash but only really dabbled competitively in Smash so this is actually the perfect video for me, tysm
Pretty interesting! Thanks for uploading!
Time doesn't matter when you're having fun, always enjoy watching your videos. 👍
Thank you.
Even though I am not a smash player, this video is very helpful for me.
"Just what I needed!"
Now let's get the opposite (A Pokemon Trainer's Guide To Smash Ultimate)!
They both have dedicated fans.
Whether that's bad or good tho is up to interpretation.
The soundtrack to this video is so catchy!
That was a great video !
Holy crap, that was a good video. Gonna make smasher friends watch this now
My all time two competitive games being united in one video. Epic
I play smash bros competitively and wanted to get into competitive Pokémon. This was very helpful! Thanks False Swipe Games
That comparison of board control to stage control is revelatory.
Anyone who uses Dracovish and Barraskewda a lot better pray to Arceus that Red Orb and by extension Primal Groudon don't return in the dlc...
Desolate Land takes away both pokemon's strongest moves, and Primal Groudon's physical bulk is too much for them to take it out easily.
Also, when Lando T inevitably returns, Eiscue with Belly Drum and Icicle Crash is possibly a good counter, as Ice Face ensures a free Belly Drum, and Eiscue's base speed jumps to 130 (which is higher than Lando T's 91 base speed) when Ice Face is broken.
Luckily primal Groudon checks zacian which would otherwise dominate the Uber tier.
Also Volcarona is back too, which can somewhat demolish a lot of teams alone and eiscue as well.
Landorus is usually Scarfed with Stone edge, so Eiscue isn't a good counter at all
@@user-pp6pr5fg8wGive Eiscue Focus Sash
Turn 1: Lando T uses Stone Edge, Eiscue takes no damage that turn because of Ice Face and Ice Face Breaks, then Eiscue use Belly Drum, giving it +5 attack (not +6 because Lando T's intimidate drops it to -1 before he uses it).
Turn 2: Lando T uses Stone Edge again (because it's scarfed), Eiscue survives due to Focus Sash, uses Icicle Crash (or if you want to ensure the KO, dynamax before using it), Lando T gets KO'd.
Now Eiscue is free to potentially sweep the rest of the team (even if it's unlikely).
@@TheRagnus Eiscue uses Belly Drum, so it's focus sash is useless
@@user-pp6pr5fg8w Oh yeah, forgot about that. You're right.
Love thesee videos
Great video
shofu: am i a joke to you
Shofu is a joke
Yes
Pichu and Pikachu: *chilling out using their electric attacks*
Seismitoad: AAAAAAAAAAAH GUESS WHO?!
Pikachu: Its you.
Seismitoad: IT'S ME! GOODBYE!
*Earthquakes the mice to death*
lowkey I would love to see a video of this the other way around, might even make one myself
This is like my two friends playing pokemon against each other. They're always trash and lose
You could have also talked about some standard sets, or what priority, trick room, flinch and the new speed mechanic work (speed altering mid turn , thing that didn't happen in gen 7)
Man as someone who plays both i absolutely loves this
This is interesting to watch as a casual smash player and a competitive pokemon player
As a long time player of doubles and singles the best advice I can give a new player is to develop stronger eyes every time you play. You have to be able to see what's behind, in front, and ahead. What happened in the last turn(s)? What can happen this turn? What are the consequences? What are you planning and how can their options and the effect of luck change this plan?
Another important strategy is follow through. If you have a plan laid out for victory you are going to have to commit to it. This doesn't mean change something if they act a little differently, it means that if you know the path to victory you are going to have to stick to it. Don't choke or throw the game, don't rely on a low expected value option, and don't freeze up and forget. Make your scheme from start to finish and follow through with it. That is the way to victory and, most importantly, getting better
23:35 is that blunder gameplay? 🤔
Agency, agency
Agency plays only

Blunder commentated a vid on FSG!
(btw guys check out my Showdown gameplay, just used a CB Rhyperior and CLAPPED)
@@SrDre-vt5dv "how good were ice types actually"
Still my favorite combo is Belly Drum Huge Power Azumarill. Showdown calculated it as going past 1000 Attack
How GOOD were two uploads ACTUALLY?
How BAD sword and shield are ACTUALLY more like

Damn that Lugwig shade lol
Excelente video xD
When you start doing swordandshield stuff, you might make a video covering all the pokemon you've already done up till now in one go, the relevant ones in the meta anyways. Curious if dynamax had any effect on them
I also think you missed something important about matchup knowledge- the fact that as you play, you can cut potential sets from the partners on a team. If my opponent has a team that looks weak to stall outside of a potential taunt hydreigon, I'm going to expect taunt hydreigon.
This was a very interesting video. I'm watching the Twitch tournament right now and it's really cool to see some of the ideas being implemented in the new game. The only thing that I'm sad about is that, while I've seen many new Pokemon used which is always nice to see, I haven't seen any new strategies yet using any of the new things added to Sword/Shield other than Dynamaxing/Gigantamaxing.
Like what?
I have no idea where his is going, but I like it
You guys should do Pokken content, considering that's another Pokemon-branded game series, and only specifically focused on competitive play, though sadly it's competitive scene doesn't get a ton of attention, but that's also why it deserves to be highlighted! The Pokken community is also super outgoing, if you reached out to competitive players like Allister or Burnside I'm sure they'd be willing to collaborate on stuff.
Did that jirachi flinch four times in a row, Jesus the salt!!!!!
Thank you Mr fish
I can’t believe you put me getting messed up in your video.
THANK YOU MR. FISH
Well this is a surprise
7:05 TY Mr.Fish
"Some of them pros. Some of them Ludwig" lmaoooooooooo
Thank you Mr. Fish
Good vid
I play both games and I was excited when the tournament was announced, but unfortunately my school also announced a camp for 3 days starting today (I'm omw rn) so I won't be able to watch until 3 days later.
THANK YOU MR FISH
Might be a little late after the invitational but could you make this same video but the other way around ? Showing a Pokémon player how to pull power plays in smash?
ooh nice.
This is a pretty good guide even if you're not into competitive smash.
Even though I dream to be.
Just started watching competitive Smash recently. Maister is a crazy person... any good places to start for competitive pokemon?
Shoutouts to Spirit of the Law music
thank you mr fish
Thank u Mr Fish
Thank you mr fish
Hax. Every trainer's worst nightmare. That clip of the two Jirachi, god that hurts.
Great video
How good was medicham actually
Ultimate players come to sword and shield just to see they cut Squirtle and Ivysaur again
Some of them pros, some of them Ludwig. 💀💀💀💀💀
That Ludwig joke is very funny considering he won
