Hello tierzoo, I just wanna say that I love your content, please continue with it. Thanks!
Hi
YOOOO THE SHOW IDEA SOUNDS DOPE
Yo I even got my grandpa to sign up for Curiosity Stream
Curious, who are the animators? A studio?
I watched Tierzoo so often that i always accidebtally explain animals with game mechanics sub-conciously.
@Amber Heard 🅥 botssss
Same lol
Wow, these bots seem to really like you
Yooooooooooo same!
Same
3:20 Okay, having the dinosaurs use older pokemon UI and modern animals use newer pokemon UI is an incredible touch
2 replies, both bots. fucking hell
@@JohnSmith-kb4re Gotta love youtube and it's fantastic bot detection! :,D
By the time the playstation 5 and switch become old, it will be accurate as those animals will no longer be playable
I thought The announcement was gonna be the outside game lol
Agree
I'd love to see an entire video talking about the house cat, and how they can completely dominate a local Meta if their human party members let them roam freely
hasn't that already been done?

So you’re basically bringing the “Who would Win?” Animal book series to life. Good for you man!! (Yes it’s an actual children’s book series, my younger brother is obsessed with them)
HOLY SHIT YOU KNOW THAT TOO?! I used to love those books! My favorite was the “Ultimate Dinosaur Rumble”. It was the Torosaurus vs Trex vs Allosaurus vs Spinosaurus
@@reigoemon2229 there’s a new book coming out this fall and my brother is loosing his mind waiting for it (autistic and OCD) he’s an awesome brother but not the best at waiting. 😅
@@AMTheOcarinaPlayer oh shit there’s a new one having read them since the 2nd grade (im a pre-teen)
@@AMTheOcarinaPlayer Oh that’s nice to hear that a new book is coming out! You must have a very good brother and I hope that he is has a good life and becomes very successful!

Can you please do an “Ant tier list”, they have a massive variety and it would be interesting which one is the best
Also great content as always
@Don't Read My Profile Photo if you say so...
He should do a tier list on Joe
I agree, been saying this for awhile
And also exploring the weaknesses of ants so other insect mains may play around them
TierZoo x AntsCanada? The crossover of the century??
I think the devs did a good job with claws. They didn't nerf them to the ground when they saw the velociraptor's claws but made them shorter and more useful after the cretaceous expansion.
*Cretaceous
@@kadabraguy9846 ?
Raptor dinosaurs first made their appearance in the triassic period.
Their claws remained relevant throughout the age of dinosaurs.
Real velociraptors aren't in the "Jurassic Park" movies.
They used the physical characteristics of Deinonychus instead because it is more physically intimidating.
Do you remember the scene in the first movie where Grant had excavated a raptor skeleton? It's not where Velociraptors are discovered.
@@dakotashroom5401 ok
@@dakotashroom5401 they used deinonychus rather than utahraptor, which was discovered after production of Jurassic Park had already begun.
1:35 the claw banner animation right there is clean as hell
Very smooth and clean 🔥
The editing on this one is just on another level, absolutely loved it and cannot wait for the new series
One big misconception about claws is that they don’t actually deal slashing damage, but, more accurately, tearing damage. They don’t have actual blades, only points. True slashing is all but exclusive to human weapons and tools.
That's what I was wondering about recently. I was building a D&D (technically Pathfinder but D&D is more universally understood) character in game who would wield a dragon claw as a weapon and I was unsure what type of damage to attribute to it, whether it would be slashing or piercing. Sadly there wasn't anything about that in the rule book item and there isn't any comparable build in current servers ever since the dinosaur nerf.
@@Buphido I'd assume that if it's a dragon claw with a handle stuck to it, there might also be the option of sharpening it and giving it a cutting edge. Dragon claw spears are much more clear-cut in that regard.
@@Buphido Dinosaurs didn't have slashing claws either. The point of claws is to pierce stuff, hence why they are hook shaped. But dragons are fantasy creatures so it's up to you.
Oysters are the closest animal I can think of to having actual slashing damage, anyone else? There must be others.
@@jamesj6426 How do Oysters slash?
These new graphics look phenomenal

This is probably my new fav youtube channel.
Its funny, informative and just overall really well made.
Big ups. Keep it going!
Welcome to the club. This guys videos are amazing
Always remember: if nature didn't give you claws to tear your enemies apart, store bought is just fine

Same goes with horn. If you know what I mean
@Jeff M.G. that's dumb.
@@natmarelnam4871 but hey it works
The 3D Vs. Series reminds me of "The most extreme" show that was on animal planet like 20 years ago. Great concept cant wait to see it
It reminded me of Celebrity Deathmatch, but with animals. Looking forward to it!
Oh my gosh I used to watch that with my dad every Saturday! Good times
Yes, yes! There was also a show called Animal Face-Off that had almost the same goal as Tierzoo is doing here.
oh yeaaa I remember that show, I loved it as a kid
the neon green matrix scene is absolutely inspired by The Most eXtreme!
“No longer playable builds” is the best description of extinction ever
almost had a heart attack at 2:08, that thing is monstrous
Yeah wtf is that
@@qbass2249 coconut crab
It has bone crushing claws
The editing in this video is the best it’s ever been, you really stepped up your game a lot. Very well done
he's been playing runescape
I was gonna say this
I was gonna say this too. The script was also very concise.
Couldn't have said better
Basically, claws are generally pretty good but when they become retractable, they are completely busted.
One of the reasons that make Wolverine (the X-Men character) so broken
Yeah? Tell that the the water buffalo.
I find it annoying that reptile claws weren't specifically talked about when the female "Nile monitor lizard" digs into termite mounds to lay her eggs.
Termite mounds are harder than concrete.
@@flashfalcon3081 I would say its less that his claws are op but more the fact that hes literally unkillable meaning unless you put him in a specific situation where either his skeleton is weakened or his healing factor slowed down he can win any fight through sheer willpower given enough time
@@dakotashroom5401
Hard but brittle.
7:50 whoever put up that birdhouse did an excellent job
Haven’t watched your content in quite a while and I’m pleasantly surprised to see that your editing and production value seem to have gotten a lot better over time. Really enjoying the content!
"I'm really shooting for the Moon here..."
NEAT! There's been so many rumours in recent years that the Moon might be added as a playable area in a coming expansion! :D
It was updated like 60 in-game years ago. It’s still locked behind a 1,000,000 USD paywall.
Also you need to max out the Astronaut skill tree in order to use the Space Rocket mount that takes you there.
@@SininenOtus actually it's a world event, not dependant on the individual
@@ltphantomknight8942 yeah, but maxing it out means you don't need to wait for the event to happen.
Don't believe everything you read on the web there is no expansion the Moon won't be added as a playable build.
It is crazy how far this channel has come in terms of editing quality. I'm very happy to see it's growth!
One of those channels you watch grow up from being a baby ☺️
@@annabobanaasmr8411 🚎⌨️
I absolutely love that clip at 7:15 of the sloth prodding at the bird.
"You'll never take me alive!"
4:59 \*says felids have retractable claws, then shows a cheetah, a prime counter-example\*
Personally find it a nice alternative to swords, since most classes can't wield them. Claws are a powerful tool, but their limited range helps them not feel too broken.
Which animal has swords?
That's why raccoons are OP. They can wield steak knives like samurai warriors.
@@sigma9788 Humans, and a pretty well known predator fish archetype called the "swordfish"(on the nose, right?). Although it's not really a sword, more of an extremely long bill that it uses as a sword, sort of like a narwhal.
@@sigma9788 narwhals, swordfish, huamsn
@@jacobbau8328 Oh yeah, I forgot about the swordfish. But ever since humans unlocked the "gunsmith" perk they slowly got rid of their swords, except in the London server, where the "roadman" faction specialized in them.
I was expecting an honourable mention to the glitched little clubs on the claws of the Stomatopods, or Mantis Shrimps. They're way too game breaking as, even if the bullet punch miss, the resulting shock wave and over-heating may kill their opponent.
I think he already mentioned them in a previous video
Pistol Shrimp and Mantis Shrimp best shrimps
We Stan Mantis Shrimps.
Loved this one, Patrick. Great work. Can't wait to see your animated series.
Yo the editing on this one was a huge leap! Congrats to Parker on the great job!
Sponge main fight me you wont
Fun fact: I have a scorpion and sometimes I see him climb his viv with his claws by clamping onto the door of the cage which I think is pretty cool
badass
Viv?
@@sneakysnek8416 Vivarium. A terrarium with live flora typically.
Why a scorpion? Not trying to be a dik, just curious. Its not like you can pet them or take them outside to play. And you constantly have to be carefull.
@@RK-cj4oc Why not a scorpion? People have fish all the time.
Massive props to the editing, effects, graphics, and overall stunning quality of this video! All the hard work does not go unnoticed!
Cant believe how your quality even more improved in the last couple of years
I sincerely hope this will go on for decades
Congrats on the upcoming series! That's really great to hear!
I believe one of the reasons flying insects are so successful is because they don’t need to trade out their claws for wings like birds do. Being able to possess wings as a separate body part than claws allows for much better versatility than animals that have to pick just one of the two.
@@YourIQDoesntMeanShitToMe CYBERNETICS 😂
Nerf incects plesse.
@@YourIQDoesntMeanShitToMe knife
also they got 6 of them motehrfuckers, a much better deal than just 2
@@wacktastic1 The closest they ever got to a true nerf, is when the level of oxygen in the atmosphere was reduced, forcing all insect mains to downsize.
As a guild, they've been pretty much unstoppable since the start of the game. Humans might be considered "top tier", but mark my words, long after humans are gone, the insect guilds will still be present on every server.
Wow. There are a lot of animations/transitions in this video. You’ve come a long way since the og videos, TierZoo. Keep up the good work! Love the content.
Edit: just got to the announcement at the end. Sounds exciting!!
Yes! I’m also EXTREMELY STOKED!!
And the elephant vs allosaurus is gonna be very cool!
He has come from rating how good animals are to creating full blown animations and an animation studio. It’s quite surreal isn’t it?
Loving the new text graphics and the new 3D animations look sick!! So happy to see one of my favorite creators grow so much! Shoot in just under a month it’s gonna be 5 years since your 1st upload!! So happy for you! Keep doing your thing! 💛
Love the editing in this one! Keep up the good work!
great video, one big issue: cheetahs are the only feline that doesn’t have retractable claws ability (there’s are canine-like and are well suited for sprinting).
Yeah. The handling bonus claws grant is used so much by cheetah players that retractability is wasted evolution points
They have this one claw, the most medial one, it doesn't touch the ground much and stays sharp
They do but it only partially retracts
That's why cheetahs are fast! Not only they have a slender body shape but have dull like dog claws (like you said) for gripping the ground making sprinting more easier(?) They are made for running fast :-D
He knows.
Honestly, having lived with one of the laziest cats I've ever known, sometimes the image of what raw athleticism the big cats are capable of is just staggering. I see where a lot of super hero abilities come from. And big cats don't even need super powers to pull off some seriously insane stunts.
One of my cats is the laziest piece of shit I've ever seen. She begs me for food in the morning by sitting on me and will only play with toys if they don't require her to move. However, one of her favorite spots is the top of my bathroom cabinet which is probably 8 feet tall and at least 4 feet above my bathroom counter. There's nothing near it that she could obviously use to climb up and yet I constantly find her at the top.
@@ericw.1620 different cat, but I once had a 22lb cat who would jump from the kitchen sink counter, to the cabinets above. While she couldn't jump the whole distance, she could catch the edge and pull herself up with surprising grace.
It's a 5 foot vertical gap from the counter to the cabinet edge.
When she got older she simply jumped the 3 foot gap to the top of the refrigerator and then hopped up.
How she hauled her fat body up there like nothing was crazy.
I am so so excited for the new project, I can see your hard work shining through! Also your editing is phenomenal, love how this channel has grown
I think seeing a PS1 next to dinaauar footage instantly aged me about 10 years.
I feel like there hasn't been enough love given to the ursidaes, their claws are very op both in terms of damage, durability, and movement across terrain, they can climb trees terrifyingly fast, move quick enough to catch much of the prey around their area... good jack of all trades builds
To be fair, it takes a good spread of base stats to accomplish all that, same with felines honestly. The best claws tend to belong to the best stat spreads.
In reality a bear could inflict heavier damage than a cat , cause their claws are built to give huge hammering damage which could even break bones
@@GonnaPutSomeDirtInYourEyes-786 Depends on if the cat is big and if it gets the ambush. The bear doesn't usually have stealth covered that well. But in general, you're correct. I think that's why most cats stay in small or medium weight-class.
Oj Łukasz Łukasz
@@DoveJS That's because Felines are a DPS class, Ursines are a tanking class
Remember when everyone thought Therizinosaurus was a massive, terrifying therapod, cuz we'd only found the massive claws and a few skull fragments?
Yeah, and Deinocheirus.
I literally realized therizinosaurus existed a few weeks ago.

I was gonna say that this episode has reached another level in terms of editing and you drop the next level at the end !!! I love your content !!! One the best channels on youtube :D
Totally agree, idk what was so special about this episode but I love it. Lots of cute touches and more diverse sounds than normal
I was gonna say the same thing. I'm super impressed! It's really good.
I wish there were more creators like TierZoo. He makes learning stuff interesting and fun, like a modern day Bill Nye the Science Guy.
2:10 that coconut crab dint care if the guy had a family or not he just went for the kill
cool vids dude. glad you're expanding your expertise. carry on
The bleed build up is really strong. Really an underrated weapon class.
So you're making that one show where they compared warriors of different cultures and their weapons but with animals? Sounds awesome.
Sounds like DeathBattle but with animals xD
You mean animal face off? It was a show in the early 2000s…
The only problem is when you are ganged up by other players then the bleed often isn't enough due to the time to kick in.
The graphics, the editing, the sound quality, it all has gotten noticeably better compared to some older videos. Keep up the good work!
Your animation studio and your own 3D series surprised me, it looks amazing and keep working hard, because there is no one who does something like you do, you are unique and excellent as a content creator
How do these videos _keep getting better?_ 6:13 is amazing!!
Woah, TierZoo's production quality has gone up a lot! This feels like it was edited by a Pro, did you get some more people on the team?
1:40 can i say...I LOVE the 8-bit showcases in this video, the communicate what tierzoo is saying with great accuracy and they are overall really funky and cool, hope to see how they improve in the future.
Can you do a Microscopic expansion tier list. Maybe with the virus class or the bacteria class. I feel like that kind of gameplay is fairly balanced but i want to know how it evolved from the pre-beta phase into the present gameplay.
I’d love to see a video about the Amazon meta, it’s so diverse in its species
When I was a kid there was this show on TV about Animal Showdowns, and it even had that old-school green polygon digital animation style 🤔
That said I would absolutely watch and support that series!! TierZoo is the best! Thanks for consistently good animal content!
I know exactly what you mean, Ill never forget learning why a gorilla is no match to a bear on that show, Tierzoo making that type of show comeback is the best news this year so far
Was it deadly 60?
@@leonrussell9607 yes that was the one, I remember watching it in Animal Planet
When I was a kid there was a show called, "The Most Extreme" that featured animals of different categories.
There was an episode about cats and the housecat/wildcat was number 1 because of how successful it is at catching small prey.
But, overall, a good show.
It was either deadly 60 or the most extreme
It’s nice when you stumble upon channels that prioritize quality over quantity and they actually get the recognition they deserve. Great video!
Indeed, makes the videos highly rewatchable too compared to many quick content creators.
you know its a great channel whenever you see a new vid pop you instantly click on it. i don't have to be in the mood for such and such, the content and quality is so good..... its enjoyable anytime day or night.
i am so happy that you are expanding your content. keep up the good work

The Octane stim sound at 5:07 with the cheetah is so good lol
Nonstop sick ones over here at Tier Zoo, keep up the awesome work!
Ive been watching for a while and the quality boost from 2019 is insane. Incredible job man, keep going, Im with you till the end.
Fun fact: It is thought that many sauropod dinosaurs had one single claw on each front limb which they used for a variety of reasons including defence and combat against each other. These titans probably collided like elephant seals do today scoring and stabbing each other's skin with their claws. Interesting how nature equipped the largest land animal with a trench knife in each hand!
They also had massive claws on their hind feet, likely used for digging.
Sort of like iguanodon's thumb spike?
@@suchomimustenerensis5302 Maybe. We will probably never know.
Just saw this on Prehistoric Planet! Very badass!
What would a creature look like, that maxed every stat in the game. Maybe with animation you could give a good answer to that.
Love your videos ❤️
A human wearing armour, equiping a signature weapon and using a mount
Jeah, a human knight comes close to it.
But you would also need a trained falcon for spotting enemies.
If you only accept living animals, then I vote for the sperm whale.
They only real downside is they huge energy consumption.
@@molybdaen11 what about binoculars? Lol
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 Weight would minimize agility and speed though, and we don't have much of that already
Honestly I feel the new dragon build people have been leaking seems like its gonna be just that. Heavy, strong, fast, durable, they got it all, at least if the leaks are to be trusted.
Good luck with the animation, it looks awesome! All your videos rock
The animation looks SOOO SMOOTH. Great vid as always
While claws can be good, it seems like the best and most all-around useful claws tend to belong to builds that have really good stat spreads to begin with.
I genuinely would love a TierZoo game. A bit like spore - where speccing into certain traits would evolve you and everybody just eventually turns into crabs 🦀
Wait, so carcinization happens in in-game games like Spore, too?
Look up E.V.O.: Search for Eden, an old game for SNES that actually lets you start as a prehistoric fish, and as you survive, you gain XP that you can use to evolve your character and make it from one era to the next. It's not as complex as Outside, but I still found it a lot of fun.
Your video graphics specked up into a very high level. Very nice job with the animations
Congrats, TierZoo! Look forward to your new content. Much Love
Just when I thought TierZoo couldn't get better, this comes out! The quality of this video was amazing and the second animated series sounds like something to get hyped for :D
8:15 my brother in christ, Your channel is already the best wild life educational show.
Can't wait for Prehistoric Planet scenes to get added into these videos

Ok
I have no doubts on you abilities to creat somme cool 1nd qualitative educational content. This is a new job, sure, different thab creating vidéo, we will be patient :) gl
I had the most confusing moment of dissonance in my brain when I clicked this video and watched it on one screen while playing OSRS on the other; having two different iconic OSRS songs play in my ears at once without expecting it was briefly highly baffling.
This was a great episode as always, and congratulations on your upcoming 3D-rendered high-budget show!
Wow, your own animation studio is next level awesome. Exciting work
Wow the editing was on a whole other level here
The video quality now being higher than ever makes these so much more fun to watch. My personal favourite detail in this video is the Gen 3 and 8 Intimidate animations
Bats probably would have been a good segment around 6:00 as an example of an airiel build with climbing capability. Great video
But bats aren’t birds, and he was specifically discussing birds.
The new editing is incredible! Amazing job as always Tierzoo!
Sponge main what's yours bet you can't beat me
Love that you're animating fights, another one that I think would be cool is Gorrila vs Bear
Most bears would destroy gorillas. Bears weigh far more and are simply far stronger
Bears will obliterate gorillas
Minor critique. Felids EXCLUDING CHEETAHS retract their claws when not in use. Discussing this trait and then segueing immediately into showing cheetahs is a bit deceptive.
Cheetahs actually can pull back their claws, but only halfway.
im pretty sure he mentioned this in a video where he talked more about cheetahs. it was probably just too small a detail to fit with the pacing
Idiot they don't got retractable claws, you chose the single big cat without retractable claws as an example bruh.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo sure thing!

You can't forget the praying mantis and the mantisshrimp, which both truly maxed out the grappling branch of the claw upgrade tree, and combine that with a high stealth stat, forming a fearsome ambushbuild
