I’ve seen enough comments about this so I thought I would answer it in one comment. We discussed the whole spicy food thing by cooking a pepper, and agreed it was fine and the wording wasn’t precise, since it didn’t state “cold resistant food”. With how the race was going, it also didn’t change the outcome of the race. I plan to upload the entire VOD to my VOD channel if people are interested in seeing how it was going without cuts, so subscribe to that channel to see when that video drops in a few days! But if you guys are interested we could definitely do a 3rd race, making it a BO3👀
I'd argue it really did change the race alot, I think it would've been an even closer divine beast at the ending. Meals didn't require cold res to pop up but meals in botw need to trigger a plate icon. Fun fact though cooking a single spicy pepper in a pot would've made the meal plate come up, because linkus realized it was a quick goal first I feel like he would've gotten it anyways but that divine beast fight would've been super super close I would've preferred to see it end with both of you fighting waterblight...race 3 needs too happen for the linkus redemption arc.
@@theoddjuan972 nah linkus actually recook the meal and did it the right way (therefore spending extra time for this goal) while smallant used that time to secure two early goals himself, so it definitely didn't change much. Linkus already won when he got all the tower goals.
You got lucky cause it the board also no1 really paid attention to it before hand whoever notice it first and got to it before the other practically wins
@@shepshepson Idk if you were referring to a comment that was since deleted, but I don't think a bot would know enough specific info to accurately bring up CJ's channel in such a relevant spot
2:19 When I saw this ad I responded "No what you need to do is hurry and finish some more of the challenges before small ant this is not the time for a shave break."
The 4 boxes with towers 7-8-9-10 was such a game winner, 4 back to back that are pretty much guaranteed after getting the first one cause there is no point in going for them once someone gets the first one, and smant had already done 5 of them, huge
Neither of the two want that topic to be brought up anymore. I was to surprised by what was happening too so I looked up what was going on and I suggest you do too. There was a lot of toxicity from their respective communities on their collaborations. They’ve both talked about what happened on stream and naturally there are TH-cam videos of it too so I recommend you listen to both sides of the coin.
It's so crazy with Lockouts. I always think one person is way in the lead because I don't know the extreme planning everyone is doing in their heads. Never count out Linkus though. You are so great at these.
I mean if you look at it sure having 4 of essentially the same quest lined up like that is very convenient for the person that rushes it first - But it was 3-2 to Linkus when he realised and started grinding towers, and after he got the 10th one it was 7-5 which also includes all the time Smant wasted getting to 5 towers. It’s not like he just got 4 free tiles on the board, it still took a decent chunk of time and really only ended up with a +1 advantage over what smant was doing by no means was it game breaking board luck. All it means is that there’s 3 less unique quests and more heavy priority towards grinding towers at the start, as oppose to leaving a single 8-10 tower tile til the end, and that kind of bingo RNG prioritisation shift is what makes the bingo fun imo.
@@bloodwolf2609 All you wrote is true. But I still hold my point. If the card had something like 7 and 10, it wouldn't have been that bad in my opinion. Even if someone was 1 behind, he had a chance if the other messed up, the order of the towers would have mateted more and it wouldn't have been 3 free goals back-to-back for whoever got 7 first.
@@Hellopleesh For a game with so much going on under the surface, there really shouldn't be anything repeating on a bingo card. Also, for pros like this there should probably be extra hard stipulations, like beating a lynel with a torch or no flying to towers.
Hey Linkus, you know what would be awesome? A BOTW Co-op lockout. Similar to the time you and cj took on smant in minecraft it would be cool to see PCrow and you try to beat some other people in a co-op lockout!
I've been looking for a Moblin Club for that kid since about 4 hours into the game. Now all dungeons done, got the Master Sword, max stamina, dozens of outfits and foods, multiple of most other weapons and I have yet to see a single Moblin Club despite warping back to the plateau and that area multiple times looking for one. They always have boko bats instead!!! Now I've actually looked into the guide for help and notice that once I find one I'll easily complete the "harder" weapons since I'm already carrying most of them... Also, "I kinda need to shave right now", what? I can't see one whisker on that babyface! Oh, that's not what those are for?
the fact linkus had such a rought time with the towers with so many big time losses would have given smallant such an amazing early lead if he hadnt been trying for too many other things first, for once smants routing let them down

I haven't watched the video yet but I came from smants channel and you are AWESOME dude!! I instantly went over here to subscribe and was so happy to see a rematch!!
great video hope you do this again but i think having 4!! times the same goal (tower 7-10) is kinda dumb like the one that gets the seventh one first will get the other 3 almost guaranteed i think at best the same missions should only appear twice at most (7/10 towers)

Idea: Lockout challenge bingo version. Instead of doing more tasks than your opponent, try to get bingo on the task board before your opponent. It would be interesting to see you trying to get bingo while also making sure to block your opponent
That was a good race, goes to show you that strategy and knowledge go hand-in-hand in these types of races. Otherwise, this wouldn't have been so close
i dont think a charred pepper would work for "any spicy food" as it doesnt have spicy in the name or grant cold resistance, perhaps an uncooked spicy pepper could work although im not sure
@@rosalineprior670 idk how the boards work but they would use the same seed if that's how the boards are randomised. But they won't be connected so they couldn't see the other players board. I guess it wouldn't be lockout though because they could both do the same goals but whoever does a certain amount of goals first (maybe like 10 or all) would of course be the winner. Idk, I just think it would be a cool challenge.

Omg linkus7 #1 first!
Linkus can you model the boxers for us?
O dear….this was a bad idea linkus….a very bad idea
this doesn't matter at all but after several videos i feel compelled to say... the "o" in "plow" is pronounced like the "a" in "apple"

Baby-face Linkus being sponsored by Manscaped so often never ceases to be funny to me

Whenever I see a versus involving Smant, I'm rooting for him to win; I think this was the first time I was rooting for someone else! Nice job!
I hoped it would be a 11-13 loss for Smant with a last second Divine Beast snipe but it ended prematurely :(
Same haha
I think this is the first time I've SEEN someone else win
i love watching a race between two people who don’t get salty when one of them loses
Oh tea?? Is this referencing PointCrow?

Haha yeah
Nah smallant is lame
@@yoman1936 great opinion tho no one asked for it
These are so much fun to watch - would love to see another!
For real, the board wasn't that good, 7 8, 9 and 10 towers is just dumb.
But the video about this board was still very good!
@Zeta
My point exactly

Spicy Pepper actually DOES count as a fruit, you just need to combine it with a "chilly" food (such as Hydromelon) to deactivate its spicy property.
I swear this is the only time I've seen Smallant lose, major kudos my friend.
The legendary battle:
Acronyms vs Funny names.

@@wrc2933 yeah maybe not Pointcrow but co-op lockout would be neat (ps. that pointcrow thing still feels bad man)

Love lockout videos with entertaining streamers
Cool! I loved the first one, glad for a rematch!
Lycel the thumbnail is so cute! Good job :D
The edit from yours to smallants pov at 2:04 was beautifully done

I just love how you said " I think I kinda gotta shave right now" but your face is as soft as a baby's face😂😂😂
It would be cool if you did a lockout in multiplayer mod
I.absolutely love these, and the Bingos. I would watch any number of these. I love to hear the thought process as well
I love it when you do stuff with Smant!
A single charred pepper does not equal a meal lmao
Love lockouts! Happy to hear that you are looking to schedule another one and I would be interested to watch any of those going forward!
This was fun to watch. Looking forward to part 3! (Go Linkus!!)

we love a content creator who timestamps the ad
It’s so cool that it ended with a boss fight
Awesome video! Can't wait for part 3
You have ten seconds before you take freeze damage so thats why you had enough time linkus at that windbomb
For next time, make sure there is a limiter on repeat tiles. Maybe a max of 2 so you don't get 4 "Tower" ones and ruin the race.
I don't know why, SmallAnt always reminds me of Jeff Goldblum XD
Thank you for the discount! Have an nice day!
Okayokayokayokay wait “charred pepper” does not count as a spicy item when there are meals that have “spicy” in the name
I could watch 10 more of these
Honestly i would watch this weekly monthly
But a roasted pepper isnt a spicy meal!
I was coming to the comments to see if anyone else would have said this
Can't wait for Lockout Grand Finale Rematch!
Linkus I think was a little salty after getting crushed in the first match that he's been practicing so hard for this
love to see the manscaped sponsor
Small ant doesn’t know the only nonlynal parts required for the barbarian set is dragon horns
7-8-9-10 towers was way op; whoever got that had a huge advantage.
Yoooo! Love smant, but its kinda hype to actually see someone beat him at one of the fames he knows 😂😂
I think Ant was straight up throwing by not going directly for the towers
I think it was more about sportsmanship. It's a shit goal and ruins the race
these sorta challenges would be cool with multiplayer
nice of you to colab with a lesser known youtuber^^
Honestly if Smant had killed Windblight first idk who wins. Great race!
I can’t wait for the grand finale rematch rematch
Btw you can wiggle bomb straight into korok forest

Best of 3!
The first task linkus did was for a spicy food but roasted peppers aren't spicy in the game, they don't give the cold resist
