I was Rio the Gyarados and I can't express how funny it was to be banned for months while watching myself get replaced over and over
Damn
Tragic
We all appreciate your sacrifice 😂
But what if it was ME???
It was not
You died to a poison type when he had a mon immune to poison on his team
It's so funny to say that he held the video as an investment and then not put Ludwig in the title.
He's still in the thumbnail though, lol
@@ITRYeah but that could be a lot of people just based on the art.
@@Ordinaryhumanbeing-cg5vxi thought it was gonna be mr. beast given the branding colors
@@Ordinaryhumanbeing-cg5vx generic white guy with crew cut final boss fight
Whenever smallant does a response video it's always "some guy". He's explained why the past, vague callouts get more clicks than specific callouts.
So nice of smallant giving smaller youtubers like ludwig a shoutout on his channel
Lol
he's so thoughtful, he wants others to gain success and I think this is the best way to do it. Way to go SmallAnt for the Shoutout to the small Streamer/You-tuber "Ludwig"
😐
Wow so original
That’s gonna leave a bruise.
Ludwig has been real silent since this dropped 30 mins ago
Ludwig loves femboys
wrr
fr fr no cap
Did I do that right...? Youth language confuses me. I don't even know what the latter half of that means.
@AniGaAG don't worry, I have no idea either so at least you're not alone
Meet the Ahlgrens
smant doing this on his first try really reminds us that the results of his actions are always "if it’s funny, it’s going to work"
Honestly I think one of smants strengths w nuzlocks is the fact that like obviously he thinks it all thru but he doesnt massively overthink stuff
That and the shiny moments, like the "late" shiny magikarp the third
bro actually has a looney tunes luck ability.
@@iimuffinsaur and abusing loopholes to get infinite of whatever mon he wants lmao
The Smallant Principle of Comedic Timing: Even the most improbable scenario will occur if the result of its happening is optimum comedy.
My brain can't imagine a bigger flex than first trying the Ludlocke as a first nuzlocke and then waiting 3 years to drop this video.
I'm sure Ludwigs reaction when seeing this video will be legendary.
Probably saw the live or clips of it
lud's romhack was the easier version of renegade platinum
Not only that, ludwig probavly did it on purpose to signal boost his own channel. So Smanthony not only deflected said attempt but used it for his own with greater effect.
He parried Ludwig
Keeping the footage like this, for so long too. Wow.
"I'm about to do what's called a pro streamer move."
Clowning on him prepared for over 3 years, it's such a flex.
No.
Glaze 😂
I NEVER KNEW HE USED THE LILEEP LATER ON!!! I wasn’t subbed for long, but he named it after me, and I assumed it just sat in the box the whole time!!! This is crazy!
The “Piplup died“ text implies that the Pokemon in this world really are just murdering each other for the entertainment of children
Anything is fine as long as it's for the children.
The children crave blood
don't worry they just get revived so they can suffer again
In one of the first Pokémon games it was implied they are also used for war so good question why kids would play with them unless they are child soldiers in training
@@philritter9042Are kids who learn to shoot recreationally child soldiers in training?
Other ppl: *clickbait Ludwig*
Smant: *Reverse Clickbait Ludwig*
4:35 can’t wait for pchal to say “play around the crit” for the 1275648356301th time
Iirc, the irony there is, unlike Smant, he hasn't done a ludlocke in one run technically (the story goes that pokemonchallenges was telling Ludwig how to play during the last few runs, which means that Pokemonchallenges himself has a permanent stain against his record regarding this particular challenge run since his directions led to at least one of the run resets Ludwig had to do :P )
1-Trillion-275-Billion-648-Milllion-356-Thousand-300-and-1 *th* ?
Man, reading this number out loud was so much fun and then it just ends with "oneth" rather than first.
@@homerman76 Pretty sure Jan was only brought in for the last run, that Lud won
@@homerman76 idk where youre getting from that he helped for more than the final run.
There's the video where Lud uses Pchal for his final runs E4...
I always hear it in Flygon's voice
This is the Pokémon equivalent of “Probably because it’s mediocre, no offence.”
bruh what are u doing here
@@HeyHey2014-xe9pf Watching a video!

Don’t remind me..
@@FineChinaSalesman Wolfy Playz or WolfeyVGC? Because I follow both!
This is the "Two Steps Ahead" version of Smant.
"Two Steps Up" (for better shiny luck)
@@IkeDesign fire add-on
You were two steps behind, Ludwig.
14:30 omg ive seen the short so many times but now I know where the moment came from xD
Fancy to see you here Dex. :P
@@AsnaronLP Same!
Now I also finally know where it’s from too. Lol.
Hey dex
Sup dex
I respect the pettiness, it’s just perfect
19:50 Fun fact: this is actually not how stat changes work. Anything that changes stats, be it a boosting/lowering move, an ability, an item, etc, affects the actual stat, *not* the base stat. The base stat is an intrinsic value of the Pokemon that determines what the displayed stat number in game will be. Anything that affects stats changes that number directly. So for example, Azumarill has base 50 attack with Huge Power. This ability does not make it so that its base attack becomes 100. Instead, Azu's actual 218 attack as displayed in-game (assuming Adamant 252 ATK at level 100) will become 436, which is equivalent to base 149 attack. The same principle applies to a Choice Band. If Lopunny has a base attack of 106, it will hit an in-game stat of 342 (again assuming max attack at level 100 for ease of analysis, the math scales down with level). With a band it hits 513, which would be equivalent to a raw base attack of 184, not 159. That's 1 point less than Mega Heracross and would place it at the third highest base attack of any Pokemon. So that Lopunny was actually quite a bit stronger than Ant makes it out to be, and it's actually more immediately threatening than its own Mega because Mega Lop can't hold a band.
Do you know what 'fun' means?
I actually love the slow speeds of the gen 4 games health bar in nuzlockes, it creates so much tension when there are actual stakes
You mean stakkes
It creates alot of tension but it sucks when your favorite Pokemon is Chancey lol
So nice of this random guy to provide you with a challenge to make a TH-cam video on. Hopefully things go as well for him as they went for you!
yeah im sure it went really well for that random guy
ey pulse effects!
The shameless shiny exploit is hilarious.
Gyarados is inevitable.
i cant believe lud had so many gift pokemon and it still took him months to beat the game lmao
Problem: whenever you lose a battle, you have to restart. You can't take Pokémon out from your box if it's already reset.
I thought Smant was so diesel he was doing a 60 hour stream lmao. energy drinks and whatnot. glad to know he paces himself
@@loganbigmo It's been a couple years since I watched the vod, but I'm pretty sure he said that if he lost the run at any point, he'd just do a 20 hour stream to play through everything in one sitting. So he would have done it, but he didn't need to
“glizzy hands himself” is nuts
22:03 smallant really is a fan lol
Got his ass
It's wild comparing this to the more recent nuzlocke competition you did and seeing how far you've come. Always a pleasure to watch you play, and especially learn new skills. GG
42:47 seeing smant EXTREMELY serious and concentrated gives "op character goes serious"-vibes 💀
Lmao, the way he's looking at the screen is very much the "super nice guy protagonist gets pissed bc someone they like got hurt" trope
Can’t wait for Ludwig to make a yt short titled “ why I hate this streamer”
He did like a year ago about smart because he bear lud in human benchmark

"Move two steps up for better Shiny Luck"
I’ve watched all those vods a few years ago because I was extremely ill so it is really nice to see this edited with commentary :D
Hope ur feeling better now
23:37 In an anime (especially ones like Yu-Gi-Oh), whenever someone is explaining their move in detail, it (almost) always ends up getting countered one way or another. I wonder if SmallAnt is using this tactic here as well
"Oh ho ho Pharaoh, you have activated The Hidden Dragon of Ra's other, other special hidden ability! It allows me to extend this duel by an extra episode!"
I was in chat when you did the "move two steps up" thing, and also when you got the Shiny Metang. It was funny seeing this crazy tale unfold again.
Bro said he want to capitalize on his investment, yet doesnt use Ludwigs name in the title or thumbnail, it wouldnt even be clickbait. Never change 🐜
wrr
ludwig is in the thumbnail though
@@vileelea drawing of Ludwig that only makes sense if you already knew?
even Ludwig guessed it was him only bc of the sweater
THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT THO??? smant really went from laughing off every close calls to listing every worst case scenarios that could've happened
Now THAT’S how you do a modern time capsule.
This man did Normans Run and Bun gym without losing a single pokemon, this mans strategic thingking is built different
“If you use nasty plot I’m going to scream *screams*” 31:22
*put glasses*
Uhm
If we go by the definition of dictionary.
He didn't screamed
He squeaked
@@ivanpaijolin9128Or maybe squealed...?
that was some sort of pterodactyl mating call, I'm pretty sure
Let's Go!!!
I was there for the "better shiny luck two spots up" and it's just as funny now as it was then. Chatter earned that VIP in that moment.
Can’t wait for Ludwig to make a short about this
love how the narration pretends that Ludwig didn't just do the subathon and became the highest subscribed twitch channel
This man is the epitome of "I don't bother because I know it's too easy"
18:32 Ah, see, this is where you've gotten confused. Ice Punch Dusknoir is only instant death against LANDORUS. He'll never see it coming.
Garanteed ko after crit
Dusksweep VS Landover
22:41 I mean you can't entirely plan around this, that was like a 4% chance to get hit by hypnosis and flinch twice
Chesto berry sure would've helped
wrong :)
@@DontUseHackyou're wrong:)
@@User-b9q2z Wouldn't have a chance to get flinched, if you went in with berry.
Beating the last gym with your entire strategy falling apart immediatly with *NO DEATHS* is probably one of smallants biggest feats
Oh my god I forgot about mogul platinum, what a THROWBACK
Never watched that many runs of this one but I LOVED the first ludlocke, it's Peak content tbh, I still go back to watch it sometimes
"Against Mr. Glizzyhands himself" 💀💀💀 22:00
Glizzy glizzy glizzy
Coffee cow
Small Ant's lucky his final form wasn't in this hack, Dr. Carbonation!
the glizzard wizard
@@ReiniBluemooooooo
that was a insane 1:07
Ok
Hey that's me! 10:04
its actually halarious that smallant beat ludwigs rom hack then waited to show it so he could capitalise on ludwigs success, just to stick it up on ludwig a second time.
wrgg
Wait THIS FUCKING THING
I remember watching the vods of a few of these and then they stopped being updated.
39:40 in case anyone was wondering, fake out has +3 priority compared to mach punch's +1
Unless it was fixed in the romhack, it doesn't in gen IV. All attacking moves (outside of Feint) have the same priority in gen IV, with higher tiers reserved for non-attacking moves.
Came here to say this
"It's too hard for him"
Ludwig last's words, 2024
It's 2021, actually. At least Smant said so in the video
Once Smant gets serious, he is essentially the main character of the universe. Everything bends to his almighty will, even numerical algorithms.
I see you Ludwig, making Lopunny extremely OP for totally-not-furry reasons
So THAT'S where that clip originated from 14:20
YES, XD
I was NOT expecting that
15:30 I love the constant random jabs at ludwig😂😂
Double protect into a crit is pretty nuts, can't blame you the Gyarados death.
I wasn't born yet when this run was completed.
you're 3 years old?
@@blindsloth364 no, hes 2
Your yt account is even older huh
@@mythwatch2844family heirloom
@@mythwatch2844they inherited it from their father
The fact he just calls Ludwig “some guy” is great
Its incredibly in character for smallerant
FINALLY!! I've been waiting for this video for SO long
18:33 no SHOT he rolled up with ice punch dusknoir I’m crying
It's only been 2 years since the vods for this were uploaded. Pretty reasonable time-frame imo 😌
This is such an entertaining run and I really love when they are condensed with Smallant’s commentary, too! Editing absolutely perfect, too ✨
This run older than most yt shorts users
the nuzlocke creator being Ludwig was the biggest plot twist ive ever seen
The original creator of the romhack, who did all the encounters, trainer battles, Pokémon changes, etc was Drayano. A Ludwig fan used Drayano’s romhack and put Ludwig artwork in it.
NAH THAT INTRO WAS SO DAMN FUNNY OMG
He showed on stream first making it funnier
Why did you start your sentence with "nah" when simply omitting the word would have made a much more coherent sentence?
@@User-b9q2z why did you add "simple" or "much"
Its because it adds impact to your sentence, just like "nah"
22:04 never thought I'd hear SmallAnt say Glizzy Hands. What a crossover episode
So nice of Smallant to support smaller content creators! :)
I love the combination of the edit and the commentary. It makes it more accessible for Pokemon beginners and is a rather gripping story!
The way I thought this was going to be a “surprise, I completed runnbun” video 😭😭
The amount of strays ludwig catches in this video is straight up disrespectful
Smant really has improved since then
yes, more content like this! I can't sit through full/long streams - these edited versions are great 💜
You can tell how Ludwig had this made to just hand him all his favourite pokemon along the way lol, 6 starters and an Eevee right at the start of the game, Beldum shortly after? Idk why Lud thought this was supposed to be hard for someone like smant lol
LMFAOOOOO holding this footage for so long to get the most out of it is 10/10 comedy
love seeing the progression of your preparation
love thoughtful prep
One of the best Nuzlocke first tries ever. SmallAnt, what a guy
Small ant couldn't beat my rom hack. Because it doesn't exist
My take on the shiny clause or I think what the unwritten rule was is you can catch any shiny you encounter. As in naturally. I think allowing shiny hunts is case by case. Since nuzelockes were mostly TH-cam series they wouldn't sit there and shiny hunt for 3 hours they had a video to make. But a streamer can use the clause and fill up their team.
“It’s a male good, it’s good awesome” 48:15 💀💀💀😂😂😂
I’m so glad this finally came out I’m half way through all of the vods
at this point i think ludwig is a bigger menace than pchal
Keeping it for when Ludwig got big was actually such a big brain move
I knew it wasn’t but part of me thought he had beaten Run and Bun already because it’s Small Ant and anything is possible
This is gold. Been waiting for another one of these pokemon commentary run forever!
This was the first full playthrough I watched on twitch
i love hearing Smallant for a entire hour explain to me what happened
its so funn
1:00 what a way to say i was lazy XDD
Yeah fr
I like the new title SmallAnt is doing. Usually it would be something along the lines of "Ludwig thought I couldn't beat his "too hard nuzlocke". I did it first try." for maximum views but this one is a lot more suspenseful, respect.
“Google find me Sonic’s feet please”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 8:22
doing the elite four while wearing mogul moves merch is truly the cherry on top
what’s also crazy is that most of the is content was filmed before smant moved
Those gen 4 health bars added so much to those last few fights
I love how the garchomp stares down a +6 +6 altaria behind a sub that killed cynthias entire team and is like "yeah i can SD savely"
I mean even if it attacked it would only break sub but still funny
The fact that this also doubles as a "My First Nuzlocke" video
Can’t wait for Ludwig to say that smant didn’t really beat it because he scammed with the shinies as if he hasn’t scammed every single challenge that he has ever been in
16:50 Always play around the crit. Even if your mon has shell armor.
Bro explained his strat and then promptly forgot it right after. Also, did he just splice that clip from somewhere else?
3:55 "Riolised"
Yay Rio the magikarp
I’ve been waiting for this video for ever!
Also I love that torterra ran the distance, my very first starter and one of my favorite mons ever since
wow, this is amazing, cannot wait for Ludwig's response
really wanna see any kind of acknowledgment from lud, will be class
So nice, ant giving a smaller creator like ludwig a shoutout, what a considerate guy
Before even looking at the video, somehow i knew that the "guy" in the title was Ludwig
Can't wait to see this as a Ludwig youtube short
