      FFS Kadai, my hands have problems now and I can't even play, say, League of Legends level of APM games without needing to rest for some days with some meds, and you're here, promoting this BEAUTIFUL video, about this MAJESTIC game that I've played so much and still love a lot, with a new server that sounds awesome...
      Damn, if I could I would change hands temporarily even for some hours to play it. But with the ones I still have currently, I can at least hug you and say "thank your for keeping the memory of this beloved game alive". Great video, and I agree with your points! (Albeit I can see the clan system being less effective with huge communities, while being as great as it was in GunZ in games with smaller ones).

      @@agnuswulfSerious question that I've been wanting to ask for a while (and hoping someone like Kadai would make a video about): would customizable controller configs. allow you and other players with messed up hands to play competitively again? Like, extra buttons or even, maybe, using a Steam Deck or some other handheld gaming PC? I know this is a weird question to ask (I used to K-Style so I know what it takes) but I wonder if there's some way to automate K-Styling a little bit so that you could still do it competitively....

Luckily for me, it will heal in a few weeks, so I'm downloading the game now to play later. I hope you find a middle ground somehow. If it's a rheumatic disease you suffer from, there's a lot of new drugs out (or coming out) so I hope one of them works for you if you have access to them. Join a trial if you get the opportunity to, it are golden times.

    @bonedamage 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +31

    The sense of progression and the 'journey' you yourself could go on as a player was so special! Like, if you were a top performer in a clan on the 'cusp' of a new tier (noob to mid, mid to pro), you might actually get noticed, invited to a tryout, and suddenly you got to play in a whole new tier. (Most of the time, your old squad would even understand. Mostly, haha.)
    GunZ rules so hard.

    • @WARnTEA
      @WARnTEA 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had a similar experience but as a kid that didn't have enough skill to even perform most of the basic kstyles, I really loved that the game had those PvE dungeons that allowed new players to practice their skills in a completely different environment that continually got harder the deeper you progressed in the dungeons and the final bosses actually felt challenging.
      I do think the mechanical skill required to play gunZ is a little too hard. I want a game to keep similar types of flying around and animation cancels without requiring crazy APM levels. Ideally it'd be possible to have a really hard style that uses fast APMs for people that want to flex their skill, but also having a lower tier for people that aren't good enough at it yet. You could probably balance this in a modern game by simply making some of the weapons easier to "kstyle" (whatever the modern equivalent of that would be) than others, and making it so that if you got really good at one of the harder weapons you could output higher DPS with higher mobility at the expense of something like attack range and defense.

    Damn I really miss GunZ.. Playing in ijji was my happiest part of my childhood and as I grew up as well it still became my favorite game
    made so many friends and the skill ceiling was endless. The matchmaking actually made it feel so impactful and fun 100% agree with you
    that matchmaking in online games are trash. I Really miss playing after the aeria died and people started doing sketchy shit in Anti lead
    that's when I quit but man If you got the chance to experience clanwar in any form we are all lucky as hell I genuinely don't ever think
    another game will beat the intense competitive and strong community gunz had.

    your platinum vs silver/bronze comparison was so spot on for me, i used to play a lot of league (good thing i dont anymore) with a few diamond ranked friends while i was in silver. they were leagues away from me, but i still used to play casual games with them and used to find myself against even higher level players. being in a support role also helped me learn A LOT about the duo-lane roles. so i played, a lot, we used to queue up with their smurf accounts that were so flagged as smurfs that matchmaking used to throw platinum-level players for us to devour. 5-man team ranked, had to deal with challenger-level supports in the lane, lowly me managed to outsmart or overpower them from time to time. you get the idea.
    i think it all clicked to me one weird day, i was playing team ranked with a few bronze/silver level friends, my high-elo friends were queuing to something else too... turns out matchmaking SOMEHOW got both our teams together. so it was the a team of five diamond players (one might be challenger at the time, i dont recall), against us five lowbies. it was a massacre for us, we were about to lose until i managed to organize the whole team, using what i knew about my opponents to our advantages, and i carried them (i was playing my secondary role, with a champion i didnt use too much) we turned the tides so hard their jungler got tilted and DC'd. after an hour+ long game we somehow managed to win. i was so ecstatic i didn't know what the hell happened.
    so yeah, little anecdote of mine does prove your point, if you don't get crushed by high-level players from time to time, you might never get to experience that raw emotion of overcoming a huge obstacle by beating your head to it and learning from your mistakes.

  • @Plexusonfire
    @Plexusonfire 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +29

    GunZ's system wasn't really getting you to be better by matching you up with way "better" players, I'd say, but the fact that high ranking clans only played "seriously" in skrims (with main rosters) through scheduled matches (forums/mIRC/teamspeak) and thus let the "random lobbies" breathe, was vital for noobs. If we were all being sweaty and hoarding the lobbies instead of skrimming and letting slaves farm pre-tournament, it would've made random matchmaking much more difficult to navigate around for new players (as it would be too dense in rank 20ish+ clans farming 24/7). At least that was my experience when I got in a main roster. Also there were the private tournaments, with actual prize money, but that was more on the Korean servers, only experienced that towards the... end. TT

    I would have to disagree when you said Gunz is the only 3rd person shooter when it comes to complexity. S4 League is another amazing example of that, and while Gunz is still one of my favourite games of all time, I'd argue that peak S4 League is even better, with the sport crossover, more movement mechanics and better viable weapon variety.

  • @Innaething9
    @Innaething9 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    The friendship and close community aspect has nothing to do with matchmaking. It has to do with how big the pool of players to play with is.
    When I was at the top level of overwatch. Every ranked lobby you knew who everyone was cause it was hard to access them. I had the same experience with CSGO on Faceit, and I have friends that describe the same experience to me with league of legends top level matchmaking.
    Ye few people play GunZ so you start to know the people's name.
    Everything you described I also lived without being top level when I was a kid playing COD4 and CSS on ESL doing pickup games (cause GunZ clan war looks like pick up games where people look the names and stats on the profiles before getting into a lobby basically)
    I completely agree with you with one thing tho, there are no good systems to get good community and group play in current games.
    This doesn't meant matchmaking is bad. It means that we need other ways to experience our games.
    I'm deeply convinced that matchmaking is one of the component for mass appeal, and skill based matchmaking is a part of that. You weirdly say in the beginning "flaws of matchmaking is sometimes you stomp or get stomped and that's not cool" to then later say "in GunZ there is no SBMM and you can learn faster by getting beat up by way better people" like ye it's a different mentality. I would bet sooooo many more people would stay with good SBMM in GunZ.
    Good SBMM shouldn't REPLACE clan wars. Having a way to make community and have those interact with each other is essential as your video pointed out.
    Playing on ESL tournaments during 2010-2015 in games with matchmaking inside them made that happen.
    And to say the obvious, the experience you describe is one that really Less than 10% of the audience wants to engage with if not less than 1%. I'm on of those people but I also studied game design and learned to be realistic. You saying "it was a perfect system", for the 1% of people interested in that experience hence why the community is small (on top of being a very difficult niche game). Idk if you say "if only there wasn't matchmaking more people would engage in the competitive community" isn't true and is proved by looking at the FGC community and the coming of matchmaking recently to this scene.

    that to get better you can't coddle yourself by beating on players less knowledgeable than you and expect to get better.
    you have to go bug people who are leagues ahead of you, get your shit pushed in ENDLESSLY and only once it starts to really sting you start to realize you're growing.
    but most people feel a sting and quit.

    I dislike playing competitive games these days specifically because of matchmaking. It makes sense in a ranked mode, but these days casual modes are just ranked without the icons. Every game that I've "got gud" at always started with someone beating my ass so bad that I was inspired to learn how to do what they did. I wish casual modes stopped tracking mmr. Seeing players do things I never thought were possible as a new player to a game was always exciting. It hits different when you see it in game as it happens to you compared to seeing it in a youtube video. Sadge.

    Eh skill based match making has its purposes, playing against someone way above your skill level in a video game yields little in improvement.

    In this video, the speaker discusses how the game GunZ had a unique matchmaking system that allowed players to have a more competitive experience. The game did not have skill-based matchmaking, but instead, it allowed players to join Clans and participate in Clan Wars. This system promoted growth and improvement for individual players, as they could play against varying skill levels and learn from their experiences. The speaker also mentions the tournament system, which complemented the Clan War system and provided a competitive environment for players. The video highlights the benefits of the Clan War system and how it created a sense of community and camaraderie among players.

    I really miss this aspect of matchmaking, that most of the time you have to play alone and with random people all the time.
    Back in early cs it was the same. you hop on a server and you will eventually meet the same people all the time and make friends and improve together.
    Now I have a feeling this is totally gone for most competetive games. I play league for 10 years and made 0 friends in it for example, but in cod I made a few of my best friends that i know for 15 years now.
    But there is hope, I started playing a lot of fighting games (SSBU, GGS) and in these games its so easy to find a few cool people to game and improve

    Might hop on fxp. I played GunZ for a good 5 to 8 years then real life caught up (studies, job, you know the drill). I was in Kunai then WetPanties back in ijji. One of my big buddies was MyoNah and a couple of others I forgot the names of. I religiously studied Estyle first to learn the ropes, then Kstyle, then it led me to trying monk style, Dstyle and I ended up settling with Kstyle (while borrowing from everything else I learned, since for example, you *could* YoYo with other weapons). I was mostly active in 2009 but I played quite regularly (but casually) between 2003 and 2008. Then the ijji closure fked me up.
    Nowadays I'd love to play again but I played Melee for 5 years and as a result my hands are destroyed. I could try and hop on to see what I can still do without pain. Thanks for the vid it was great

    I don't think that adult person with pretty much any responsibilities would really enjoy losing and improving for months in any game, especially highly competitive one. Yea I can do few weeks but at some point I want to have fun and getting shit on match by match is rough. Also why you talk about playing with randoms in other games but playing with friends in GunZ. You can play with friend(s) in any team based games. You can meet and add players after some fun or unique game and duo with them. Point of any matchmaking is to make ppl chose 1 instead of 2 because games just can't survive if too many players leave. Anyway thanks for cool vid. I really liked it.

    Hey Kadai, I remember you from ijjiGunz. That's my hand at 0:56, and it's funny that a video I only intended to keep up for a few days but forgot about turned out to become one of THE videos to go to when showing what Gunz gameplay looks like on a keyboard. I've actually seen the clip used in a couple of videos about Gunz already :D

    Loved this game! The closest I've gotten to a game with this kind of matchmaking as of late is combat master, which will put your level 1 ass next to a literal professional streamer, and you're gonna learn something new every time you play, all the way up to 55 and beyond(current cap, game's far from done, but what's already here and to come is very impressive). My partner and I have been so hooked to CM because of its lack of skill based matchmaking, the skill ceiling which seems to not exist while the skill gap can and will be felt. However, you'll learn plenty from simply watching other players, messing around in-game, etc. Even death is a teachable moment in this game and I love it!

    I used to D-style and it was the most demanding thing I ever did, in ANY game. The advanced cancels required special key setup otherwise I was too slow.
    Example, I still remember switching to my Dagger using right click.

    ik i just commented on your other vid by I see my nameplate at 6:31, thats true nostalgia haha.
    At a certain point getting into clans was based on your reputation. the skill gap between all the top NA/EU clans was pretty close, but ultimately your decision making is what may of gotten you into clans. Like Sparta for example we we're exceptionally tight knit, I wasnt the best but my decision making and my ability to make plays is what allowed me to play with them for all those years. Sparta then is what T1 in league is now, super dominant and won basically all the ijji sponsered tourneys at the time. And damn folks loved it when we lost lol.

I remember playing LAN on CS1.6(?) when I was a kid and was just getting train wrecked by the teenagers playing in the computer shop LOL but I said I wanted to be like them I wanna bunny hop,spray transfer and be as fast as them. and behold after a week of getting exposed I was finally getting some kills in until it got to a point where I was getting invited in their lobbies/teams :") " the matchmaking " back then has cemented this foundation of me wanting to always go up against people who are better than me to learn and learn :D

  • @AlvarO1396
    @AlvarO1396 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I was going to comment on your other video, but I found this one and watched it as well. To be fair, I've only heard of gunz when I was spoken of a game that rivaled the one that marked MY early adolescence: S4 league. I had never demonstrated any interest in gunz, nor I had I ever seen any gunz gameplay until now, but I spent all the video grinning like an idiot because of my own nostalgia and I can feel how much it means to you. The clan system, clan wars, inside drama, clan recruiting with 1v1 and proving you can do certain tricks... it all comes back. I don't know if they did something official in North America, but since I am European I never messed much with the scene there, even though I ended up playing for an important clan.
    I also like to see how deeply mechanic gunz seems and I appreciate you comparing it to melee, which is another game I picked up years later (developing into fighting games later) and has to be mentioned in this context. I don't miss the general toxicity of that time ingame, but that desire to get good in such a dynamic and free form game is very satisfying to fulfill. I don't have any way other than these comments to see it, but what you are doing for the scene that's left must be incredible. Thank you for this content!

    I feel like GunZ is just an amazing game to watch beyond even Clan Wars. I loved clan wars, but all my favorite memories in GunZ were from duel rooms. Never has there been another game, nor will there ever be another game I'll go in and sit in a lobby for hours just talking and losing. Watching players come and go trying to end a players streak was amazing. I love sitting in there watching amazing players and it always made me felt like I could get better and better.
    Clan Wars made me a better teammate, duels made me a more mechanically skilled player.

    Just watched your 'This game could've been the best esports ever' video and both this and that are really well made giving me a load of nostalgia. I may be in the minority but the game still looks great to me because who cares about the background environment in this game? It was all about your character, the opponent and the terrain imo.
    I actually never got to play Clan Wars since I wasn't great but that didn't stop me from joining a tryout lobby every now and again (This showed me if I was improving).
    I was the more casual player but I loved that there were unofficial game modes like hide and seek, juggling competitions, rocket wars and my favorite being ATK & DEF.
    Questing was also fun even though not many players enjoyed it but a few of my friends and I saw it as a strategy game at that point as you had to manage your ammo until the boss levels.
    There was also 1v1 sword only dueling lobbies testing people ability to BF (also learned DBF and TBF even though the latter wasn't very practical).
    There were also lobbies of some folks teaching k-style for newer players (especially in the early level restricted servers).
    FFA matches in gladiator were also fun to just run and gun around when you just wanted to turn off your brain.
    The game had something for everyone from casual to pro. It was, and still is in my heart, as one of the all time greatest games.

    GunZ is only game that i spent any siginificant amount of time developing skill and learning new tech, in comparison to any game that i'd get better at simply through gameplay. The only issue - it was all the wrong tech, because i am "that guy" who wants to be wacky and different. I learned dagger tech and how to consistently dash without using melee (with guns, grenade, medkits, etc.).
    It's been years and i still have muscle memory.

    the fact most people default to not wanting to improve at something is incredibly sad to see. The comments of my videos are filled with people saying that taking gaming too "serious" is a stupid idea, but honestly the reason that I and a lot of other people need to be separated from the "casual" players is simply because of mentality. I've never played Gunz, I've seen it a few times on TikTok but watching this is persuading me to give it a go. Amazing video man really well thought out

    Matchmaking in general is quickly to find a game, that's why is so standard now, lobby used to be boring to wait for the majority of players.
    I'm not against or in favor of lobby system, but I think this video is more about Gunz more than skill based matchmaking.

    @superbro6413 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The explanation of why a Gunz Clan War is a better matchmaking experience then standard modern day SBMM sounds more of an argument of player perseverance and willingness to get back up and improve more than anything
    I'd argue that any player today is just as capable of doing that, they may just have to look outside the bounds of their game's MM system, which to kadai's credit, doesn't do them too many favors.

    I love this kind of obscure video game community content. Reminds of scoutzknivez community in CounterStrike:Source. I'm a a bit too young to have experienced that and Maplestory in its prime (I was 10 during Big Bang lol). But your experience with this game is reminiscent for me of both of those games. Wish I had played this game when I was younger, looks lit honestly.

    Bro, used to play this in SA (Brazil). Mfs came with "K-STYLE" and were destroying everyone (me included).
    Learned the basic of K-style but didn't have enough fingers to keep it 24/7 like those addicts, so I combined it with Spray N' Pray (mainly sword/dash for dodge, AR for offense).
    Started to win and finally have a chance, but mfs were so toxic that they usually would kick you out of a match.
    Still, had A LOT of fun with this game. Miss u GunZ.

    The key difference here is that since in Gunz you choose to fight your opponent, you cannot later blame matchmaking. Because there is none. It's completely by player choice.
    Impossible to do in large scale games probably, but in a small tight knit community, could work.
