Had a blast voicing and producing another piece in Pokémon! I hope you guys enjoy and please let us know if you'd like to see more of this type of content!
They should really bring Wolfey on for a Perish Song video. He's basically the only person who keeps bringing legitimately threatening perish song teams to tournaments whenever the meta allows for it.
If it was up to me, I would do a regular video and when going into the VGC stuff have him interrupt with rants about how Incineraor gets all the things it could possibly desire.
It also makes the 2-1 results of the individual sets more convincing. Sure, Wolfe won the final set "only" 2-1, but overall he beat Nicholas 6-3. That ain't random.
Correct. The tourney was absolutely dominated by Nicholas EXCEPT for Wolfey. They were close matches all 3 times as well, going 2-1. But taking Wolfe to the limit that many times really does say a lot about Nicholas' level of play; mostly that he was so good at the micro-decision making of combat, Wolfe had to win by focusing on plays that counter the most available plays as opposed to tunneling on singular options. @@crayons8693
That Perish Song team was incredible. Several people copied it in the same tournament. But they made a big mistake. They don't understand why Scream Tail was on the team despite being the most important
The guy is the sole reason why someone like me who lives in India, where VGC or let alone Pokémon is obscure, started grinding on showdown ladders learning a lot. Would love to see him winning another Worlds in 2024. #WCD
Always love these bite-sized game/meta breakdown videos from Beastcoast, they make the meta accessible to the casual player while still being really interesting for more experienced VG players! Congrats again to Wolfe for an amazing victory, not to leave Nicholas' performance in the dust, as he played absolutely amazingly!
Love that clip of him going for this hard read for the 1st place spot and looks into the camera does a big cheesy grin just as his read comes through n he nailed it, classic
It's the same problem as basketball. Michael Jordan won three championships in a row, two separate times. No matter what LeBron James does, it's hard to compete with that. Ray Rizzo had a three-peat and retired early. Wolfe's dominance over time is very similar to LeBron. He will for sure need at least one more world championship. I personally consider the two players cups to be world championships for the respective players. So 3 for Wolfe and dominance over time could match Ray.
@@Leif3GHP it's worth mentioning that Ray won the first 3 championships, competitive was not as accessible back in the day, it was really hard to get your hands on a competitive team due to the fact that you had to manually farm EVs on wild encounters. Nowadays everyone can get a competitive team up and running in two hours, reason why the tournaments have a lot more partecipants too. Winning now is a lot more difficult than it was back when competitive was in its early years, i think that considering Ray even equal to Wolfe is mind blowing.
@@luigimanzelli3786 I agree, but that's also a similar point to the basketball issue as elite athletes are less and less common the further you go back. You have to consider what someone accomplished in their time in context. There's also the matches between Ray and Wolfe to consider. Regardless, even in that time, there were plenty of people putting in the work. Accessibility notwithstanding. Wolfe won his world title before basically any of the modern accessibility features appeared as well. I learned about EV training in 2008 and had a team in a week, while doing university work. Wolfe is my GOAT, but you can't dismiss what Ray pulled off. On top of that it's incredibly important for your personal legacy to beat the guy who's next up while you're still playing. Ray did that. In football, people are saying Patrick Mahomes is the best football player they've ever seen, on pace to dethrone Brady as the best quarterback ever. But Brady was able to beat Mahomes twice in championship games as the transfer of the crown was happening. That's going to matter in the discussion. Wolfe inherited the crown, but he didn't take it. Gotta respect Ray.
@@Leif3GHP yes but this is not sports, in sports you physically cannot keep up with next generation of athletes, this was a not a problem for Ray, he just retired cause he didn't feel like competing anymore, anyhow Wolfey's period of dominance is unmatched, the guy has been a world class player for 4 generations now, Ray didn't do that. Not that i'm disrespecting Ray, i just think that, achievment wise, Wolfey is too far apart, his consistency at the top is monstrous.
To be fair, it makes sense that for a balanced team to handle all threats, one would pick the most balanced option that would answer everything the opponent could do, basically playing into the team's strength to answer everything.
The prep for VGC reminds me of the prep football coaches put into playbooks. The adjustments to adjustments and META's that would only ever be useful in the context of that specific game. Very cool stuff!
Not the your greatest analysis but a fun one to be sure. I expected more focus on who did what on which turn instead it was just a long praise to Wolfey for being so good at the game and I can't help but love that
What I love about Wolfe is the teams he makes. He's not afraid to use a Pokemon out of the norm, create a unique team and make it work in this level of play.
Nicholas Donnelly had such a good weekend. But Wolfe. Thrice, close each time. That must be frustrating, literally one opponent, having to claw back afterwards twice, and then beating you again in the finals.
More number of participants, since anyone can sign up. For World Championship only those who have qualified can participate. Hence there won't be as many people participating. So it is not a comparison of prestige or anything, just that this regionals had the most participants in history of VGC.
5:27 okay let’s be honest - that dude’s take was actually terrible. It was just an incompetend dude announcing, it didn’t look like an amazing trade at all and listening to him babble through it was annoying.
Burning tera and trading one for one with an ogerpon turn 1 seems like a good trade to you? In the context of the battle it practically forced trick room farigiraf, ursaluna into tornadus- then Wolfe would have to make every single read perfectly for the next 4 turns to stall out trick room without KOing anything to avoid tera normal life orb ursaluna hypervoice one shorting the rest of Wolfe's team. The true genius of this play was recognising that even that endgame was winnable if he could position incineroar on the right fake out turn while preserving urshifu and to go for the close combat anyway to guarantee the victory if they predict the double up into the farigiraf predicting Wolfe to predict the predict the switch out into torn- that turn one didn't win Wolfe the game, put some respect on Aaron's name that trade looks awful for Wolfe at face value.
at around 4:30 that interviewer was trying so hard to fake that they're interested when they probably didn't understand half the things wolfey said. they were just slightly nodding their head like every 0.2 seconds xD
Ladies and gentleman, proof that Verlisify fans have no idea what they’re talking about. Half these pokemon are common and easily imported from previous games, and we straight up saw him getting some of these on his streams.

Fun fact: with his 8th championship, Wolfe has now won more regionals than Aaron has connected will-o-wisps
Too soon
@@beastcoastpokemonit’s always too soon
bro no 💀
Damn bro, going for the throat. 😂
Imagine using someone's best friend to snipe them like this. Just brutal
Had a blast voicing and producing another piece in Pokémon! I hope you guys enjoy and please let us know if you'd like to see more of this type of content!
looks dope!
Keep it up Walt. This format works great for Pokémon as well as melee.
Nice!
Been binging your old melee vids this week so this was exactly what I needed (more tdfw magic)
You're a great story teller
I really hope when False Swipe Gaming does their Incineroar video, they get Wolfe Glick to do the narration lmao
😂😂 fr
Singles: 10 Minutes
VGC: 3 Hours
They should really bring Wolfey on for a Perish Song video. He's basically the only person who keeps bringing legitimately threatening perish song teams to tournaments whenever the meta allows for it.
False Swipe Gaming has mentioned Wolfey in a fair amount of their videos before so they totally should.
If it was up to me, I would do a regular video and when going into the VGC stuff have him interrupt with rants about how Incineraor gets all the things it could possibly desire.
both matches on stream with these two were so intense. crazy Nicholas only lost 3 sets all tourney and they were all to Wolfe lol
That's some rivalry forming
bro is going to come back looking like kieran
It also makes the 2-1 results of the individual sets more convincing. Sure, Wolfe won the final set "only" 2-1, but overall he beat Nicholas 6-3. That ain't random.
is this 3 sets including the 2 lost in the finals?
Correct. The tourney was absolutely dominated by Nicholas EXCEPT for Wolfey. They were close matches all 3 times as well, going 2-1.

Aron saying "The King is Back" really hyped me ngl, Wolfey goating as per usual
That Perish Song team was incredible. Several people copied it in the same tournament. But they made a big mistake. They don't understand why Scream Tail was on the team despite being the most important
also "They didnt know how to play against me".

Competitive Pokemon and Games to be specific. Anime is massive here.
People in India think competitive gaming is only pubg, csgo and league
fax bro we have to study engineering or medicine if you do anything else u are failure
@@AutriBanerjee
Great to see, i am not the only one who loves Pokemon and VGC in India 🫡
I forget that Turndownforwalt does narrations for other content as well and it's always a blessing to listen to him

A wise man once said, that "luck is a skill". That man got the World Champ Difference
I would love more of this content and Walt did an amazing voice over for this video
So fitting that Aaron and Nekkra were casting it. Their calls were fantastic, esp when Wolfey won. Thanks for including it in the vid!
Wolfe is such a champion. Such a good guy, such a nerd. But so cool, I love him
Cool to hear Walt doing the voice over for this video! I recognized his voice and cadence instantly from his SSBM content. Great job!
Its just as amazing hearing you talk about pokemon as it is about Melee. Keep it coming!
Wolfe is the tom brady of pokemon
nah he can;t be compared to
Ray Rizzo
@@brandonedwards6119Would that make Wolfey the Patrick Mahomes of Pokémon VGC then?
Ray Rizzo is better skillwise, Wolfey is incredibly good but not like, THAT. I like to compare him (Wolfey) to Hikaru Nakamura in a sense.
@@RFE812 Aaron Rodgers.
So cool seeing wolfey win big, dude deserves it!
Was not expecting Walt on the mic but what a nice surprise
When it's all said and done, and Wolfe finishes up with competing. I truly believe he will go down as the greatest Pokemon player ever.
How many more “biggest pokemon tournaments” does wolf need to win to be considered the goat?
He already is the goat

“The king is back” comment got me hype asf

Really fondness received watching these matches live. It was intense and I just found the matches insane
SO AWESOME to have TDFW voicing the analysis!
i did not come into this video expecting a walt narration, good shit
The prep for VGC reminds me of the prep football coaches put into playbooks. The adjustments to adjustments and META's that would only ever be useful in the context of that specific game. Very cool stuff!
Aaron is such a great commentator, gets me hype every time
This video was great! Would love to see more in this style in the future
Loved this video im gonna go see if you have more tourney breakdowns like this!
I wish I could see every set Wolfe played in this regionals
How much you want to bet that Verlis & his wolf pack are going to be here.
0:15 how am i supposed to concentrate on the video when im head banging at 200 rpm to this background song
Wolfe is going for the ship this year. Finally using meta strong teams, and going for damage instead of getting too cute by overvaluing switching
WORLD CHAMP DIFFERENCE!
This is Nicks villain origin story.
Not the your greatest analysis but a fun one to be sure. I expected more focus on who did what on which turn instead it was just a long praise to Wolfey for being so good at the game and I can't help but love that
Found this in my fyp, and got jumpscared by Walt’s voice lmao. Love the vid!
🐺 = 🐐
Awesome tournament from Nick
My favorite caster doing a voiceover for pokemon? Dreams really do come true
What I love about Wolfe is the teams he makes. He's not afraid to use a Pokemon out of the norm, create a unique team and make it work in this level of play.
Yup. He sure knows how to "Make" them. 😂
dude, let's not this right now @@Round_Slinger
Jesus Christ Wolfe vs this new guy was some Goku vs Vegeta level rivalry 😂
Whats the sound track @6:35
team star
Nicholas Donnelly had such a good weekend.
But Wolfe. Thrice, close each time. That must be frustrating, literally one opponent, having to claw back afterwards twice, and then beating you again in the finals.
Walt ❤
Yo what's the music track for this video?
amazing video and analysis man
And people said incineroar was just okay in sv vgc. Can we go back to call it meta defining now?
Please more frequent content
Great video Walter
I don't even play pokemon I think I just like Walt talking
Is this regional championship larger than the world championship? I am confused on "The Largest Official Competitive Offline Tournament of all time".
More number of participants, since anyone can sign up. For World Championship only those who have qualified can participate. Hence there won't be as many people participating. So it is not a comparison of prestige or anything, just that this regionals had the most participants in history of VGC.

why’d you pick that photo of him lol

Why did you say that Wolfe got top 8 at Knoxville??
Wolfe wasn't even there.
That's just how good he is.
The other person he talked about wemt top 8 bro ;)
He did it last year
I hate that my switch is out of commission...
Ah I see, but could be stop my deadly combo of picking pokemon I like no matter the stats and only having moves with the most power?
The #WorldChampDifference
jeudy's emote lol
And all credit goes to the team that helps build his teams 😂😂
"a team that only he can pilot" isn't accurate, considering the same exact team won liverpool. solid vid otherwise.
Well, only he can pilot optimally.
I wonder how it would have went if he didn't gen his Pokémon
Bro lost 3 times in one day against the same person, just retire pls
Why TPCI allow genned Pokemons when they are banned in the rules of VGC?
Wolfe genned mon like no tomorrow to build this team. Good thing he didnt get caught during the tourney
All players gen, get over it.
Ladies and gentleman, proof that Verlisify fans have no idea what they’re talking about.
Half these pokemon are common and easily imported from previous games, and we straight up saw him getting some of these on his streams.
stop listening to furries
gamers shoud we report this roe misinformation
If wolfe cant follow the rules, it is better not to join the tournament.
you mean, the play a cheater did to cheat his way to another win?
AHAHAHAHAHA ur so silly
How did he cheat?
its well documented, check his team from 2015/2016 tournaments@@VGV1deo
Verlisify fan spotted😂
If he wasnt a virgin he probably wouldnt have won
