“A game with an unlimited skill ceiling.” “Those are the lifelong games.”
Here I am 19 years after it’s release still playing Smash Brothers Melee
That’s what makes smash games so great.
It’s like the corridor version of golf culture in business
I’ve literally been waiting for the smash tournament for a whole year nearly you don’t know how hyped I was Christmas maybe “Cancelled” but Corridor is thriving.
"cancelled" 🤣🤣🤣
Kalle Nilsson People have been saying that the celebration of Christmas will be cancelled because of the coronavirus.
I would do seasonal tournaments, like a fall one a winter one, and whatnot.
Nimeo 100 I second this!
Yes and next time I hope to see everyone first tournament included so it can be a huge tournament with a ton of skilled players from corridor, node, and stress level zero
Biweekly
The crew should consider doing a charity stream and playing against your fans. Seriously you have so many people who want to play you all, give out the arena code after meeting a donation cap and raise a billion bucks
STONKS
This sounds like an awesome idea!
Sam sounds like he should set his C Stick to tilt attack
Tilt Stick is a cheap trick to make weak fighters stronger, Sam should learn to just tilt better as it leaves you much less open to being punished.
@@Garrrization I don't know about calling tilt stick a "cheap trick." Even top players use tilt stick and so I see nothing wrong with it. Being able to tilt without tilt stick isn't really an area of the game that most people would care about, and not having it would just make the game more annoying, so not having it doesn't mean much.
(Also if this is a bait then gg I guess)
@@AirventOS Well, to each their own. and the first part is the gem fusion meme.
but honestly learning tilts properly has made me such a better player in general, and you can't do most tilt involved true combos without proper tilting just because of how fast you would need to move your hand from a/b to stick and back. not bait just genuine care for people to learn more about the game and become better players.
I want a workplace like this, I want friends like the crew 😩
Nothing like a corridor cast to start my morning! Thanks guys
@27:35 - So, I get that it could be a huuuuuuuuge stretch for next year's tournament, but I think this is the reason why they have best 2 out of 3s (plus the time limit so that it doesn't go to forever). After hearing the story about how it messed up Clint, I felt bad with y'all. So, try it out first, see if that's what y'all wanna do for next year's tournament. And also, finals is best 3 out of 5. If you actually wanna go and do the full tournament experience, throw in the double elimination rule too.
They really don't have enough people (and video time) to do double elimination, but best of 3 is really a most at this point
@@mbletz3958 I agree with the latter. But, I think 16 players is good enough for a double elim.
You guys should talk about your early days as filmmakers and your early feature films - I think that would be really interesting for Niko and Sam to talk about their origins in the industry.
10 years of corridor on corridor crew basically does most of this
The entire podcast Sam was afraid to look at Clint straight in the eye.
this HAS to be one of the most fun podcasts ive ever heard in a long time! great job guys!!
Glad I listened to this podcast... I was worried that the crew didn't realize that wren actually passed out >.
Would love to see you guys face other offices like Linus tech tips/ Achievement Hunters / Stress Level Zero.
Like a this last tournament was a state qualifier, top 3 players move on to the inter office smash. Maybe have an overall winner and then a team point system. When you fight the other offices you get points each win to see which office is the best. Since you’re already in cahoots with Gavin Free and Linus Tips it’s be an easy content to post via streaming.
Crew battles!
If anyone at corridor wants practice let me know I have put over 1500 hours into smash ultimate and more into melee. Clint if you love that feeling of constantly getting better then you need to play some melee. It does not hold your hand like ultimate so the controls will feel unresponsive at first but as you play you will start learning exactly how many frames each move lasts, how to L cancel and wavedash, You will slowly start getting addicted to it and each time you play you know you're getting better and its this exponential growth for months. Its great. It will also make you better at ultimate.
Well this just came out at the right time; what do we all think about Steve from Minecraft being in Smash Bros?
Absolutely fantastic, really unfortunate that folks are so against it lmao
Its gonna be an awesome meme.
I love these topics cuz it's a bunch of buddies with cool stories and just nerding out.
Hahah sorry Dean I've had to much fun with the irony in your epic titles. Founded Father, Child Beater Dean. Awesome.
You know what was a cultural phenomenon? Corridor GIF Olympics.
BRING IT BACK I BEG OF YOU
I've been following you guys religiously since I discovered you 4 months ago, and I'm still finding new channels! This is the first I'm hearing of Node! Pumped to see more content from ya'll legends 👊
I would love to help organize these tournaments for you guys and show you the ways of the official rulesets. It makes it a ton of fun with the right stages, bracket structure, and game protocols.
Regarding the Tilt Attacks!! You can customize the controls for every name tag you enter and assign Tilts to the right control stick! It makes Tilt attacks actually consistently doable and is the default option for professional play.
@@GraemeStanfordWilson YUP and you can also switch around other controls and turn tap jump on and off. I would also love to teach/help them run more tournaments with official rulesets! I've been a TO(Tournament Organizer) at smaller high school locals and would love for them to take their passion for the game to the next level!
We did EVO rules except that it was best of 1 and we allow Hyrule.
Thanks for replying! Yeah, I thought that was funny when I saw Hyrule Castle, but one thing regarding the other stages you guys played: They were only the Final Destination or Battlefield forms and there are actually a bunch of tournament legal stages that don't need to be in those forms, so long as stage hazards are turned off. Here's the list!
STANDARDS
1) Final Destination
2) Battlefield
3) Smashville
4) Kalos
5) Pokemon Stadium 2
COUNTERPICKS
1) Yoshi's Story
2) Town & City
3) Lylat Cruise
4) Unova
5) Small Battlefield
IN CONSIDERATION
1) Mushroom Kingdom U
2) Yggdrasil's Altar
3) Yoshi's Island
4) Wario Ware
5) Wily's Castle
6) Dreamland
I thought Wren passing out was a bit!! This is hilarious!
Hold up hold up hold up. Pichu was top tier for the longest time ever and probably still up there. In the Japan scene, Olimar was in the same boat as well. So, I'm excited to see what Dean has to offer.
You guys should talk about making commercials/ paid gig filmmaking for clients vs passion projects
iam from indonesia, Asia
i learn english from listening this podcast
i watch a lot corridor video
and finally slowly I can learn it
clint saying air dodge to ledge is "pro" is so funny, considering how easy it is to punish in actually competitive play LOL
I just gotta say that y'all have improved a lot since the first time I've seen footage of y'all playing. But, I'm also hoping a rush-down brawler would win one of these years. The big heavies are dominating! Ha ha!
I usually never listen to podcasts the whole way through but damn this one was so entertaining. I've seen all the videos they talk about but hearing their perspective is so cool and meta almost. Wish they could've talked about creating team trees though!
I’m so glad I waited to see the end of this. This year’s match was awesome!
Dear Sam, just map your right joystick to tilt attacks, smash attacks are really easy to do manually
Greetings from a Archviz company in Norway with the same smash culture. We would love to challenge you guys to a international Company VS Company Tournament :D
Frickin Moo Moo Meadows, man
That podcast feels like home ! Playing for fun with my 4 good old friends, and even if it's just for fun, we still take smash very seriously ! we all 5 play since we are 16 years old and still play 15 years later !!!
Awesome podcast guys !
You guys are awesome 👍 just keep talking about what you guys want to. Or just go down any TH-cam rabbit hole🤷♂️. Its always interesting hearing everyones opinions
Wren make electric heelys please it's so cool
I love the idea of office commraderie. Past few years my work has pushed working remote and since covid my work office officially closed and I haven't had that in person togetherness in a long time. Nothing beats being able to take a break and play some games and share some laughs and light competition. With no co-workers to have this with and finding myself not spending much time with my actual friends we started this channel. For the moment it's just virtual but gives us all a reason to get together and just relax and share some laughs and play some games. Eventually would be great to have a place of our own to do this everyday like the corridor crew does. One day! Until then, we will keep at it and take inspiration and entertainment from everything corridor is pumping out these days (which is alot and is awesome)!
I love this podcast, doing chores or working on some art while hanging out with you guys is the best!
Love Dean's arrogance in smash! 😂
Switching from smash stick to tilt attack improved my gameplay so much. It helps so much with executing forward backairs especially with shorter-range characters who need to spam bairs like DK or mario.
Would you talk about some of your favorite D&D moments thought your campaigns? Maybe that's too niche, I don't know, but I'd sure like to hear it. Regardless, I'm really enjoying the podcast, guys. Keep up the great work. 👍
Working at Corridor is my DREAM job. VFX and filmmaking? Hell yeah. Gaming breaks? Hell yeah!
1:50 Wren: "It's the most powerful triangle."
Sees Triforce in background. "Am I joke to you?"
The switch is honestly just the greatest man-made antidepressant
I've never related to Wren more than now. I'm that friend in smash to all my other friends lol
Love the passion that you guys have for smash. Can’t wait for the video!
Listening to this took me back to pre-lockdown measures, working in the office we had daily smash bros games over lunch and impromptu matches fairly often as well, now we all work remotely and this just made my nostalgia and hunger for that come back hard.
Also you guys should include Smash Bros as a part of your hiring process because why not haha
Can you do a smash tournament then 6 months later maybe have Mario cart or something tournament loooove these tourneys
Now... I'm waiting to see Jordan's progress 👀.
13:00 Rocket League! I'd love to see an office tourney of that in addition to Smash.
After last year, Corridor's Smash Tournament 2021 would be what Super Bowl is for millions
My thursday got 100 times better!
New Cast. Got to download listen to it at work. I can listen to you guys all day.
Can’t wait for this year!
"Dean is trying to learn the bad characters"
*names two top tiers*
Hi!
Longtime fan of Node and Smash bros here. Thanks for the super entertaining content! Just wanted to pitch the idea of a crew battle format video if Node is ever down to do more smash content. This might be a long message, so I'll just preface it with a TL:DR to save you some time: Nail-biting Knockout-style matches between two teams of equal players, regardless of skill level!
Elaboration: "Crew battles" is a format of playing smash bros where everyone is divided into two teams with equal amounts of players. The steps are generally as follows:
Splitting into teams: Ideally, the best way to split teams would be to find someone equal to your skill level, a "rival" so-to-speak, and to go on the opposite team of your rival. When the teams roster is formed, play order is determined then by skill level - the highest level players, aka the "anchors", are generally the LAST people to play on their team. The most beginner/entry level players are put at the front of their team roster and play first. This way, you generally have the beginners of one team playing against the beginners of the other, and as you win, the matches get more difficult.
the battle rules: 3 stocks per person, unlimited/high time limit (so that the game timer doesn't run out until someone has lost all 3 stocks). This is where the rules change deviates from tournament. When one person wins, they move onto the next match, BUT they carry over THE SAME AMOUNT OF STOCKS that they had left over from the previous match. It's a bit complicated at first, so let me demonstrate with an example. Consider team A which has Nat, wren, and clint versus team B which has Daniel, Sam, and Niko. Nat is up against Daniel first and wins, but it wasn't a 3 stock because he took 1 stock during the match. Nat would thus move on to fight the next person in team B, which is Sam. At the beginning of the match, she falls off the stage ONCE (because of the stock she lost the last game prior), so she starts the game with 2 lives instead. She goes back to starting position, and everyone in the office counts down from 3 to start the match. You play out the match, then the winner carries onto the next match against the next member from the opposing team until one team has no lives remaining. (remember, 3 stocks per player with permanent stock-loss which carries into the next match). If the teams are balanced well enough, it's very common for crew battles to reach a last-player/last-stock situation in both teams at the very end.
Why do this format over the tournament style? I'm not recommending it as a replacement to the office-tournament style format videos. Frankly, I'm just happy to see the production value that NODE brings to a videogame I enjoy playing like smash. I only offer an extra option that I'm confident NODE can take to the next level. From the perspective of the participants, I find that entry level players are more happy with the experience compared to a tournament when success is based on the individual skill level. Now, everyone is part of a team, and even if you lost your match, if you took at least ONE stock, you helped contribute toward victory since that's one LESS stock the team has going into the next match. Even if you took NO stocks, there's still a chance your team wins so you'll still have some level of investment. (Believe me, with balanced teams I've witnessed some insane comebacks). From the perspective of a viewer, it's the matchup progression of difficulty, watching the anchors duke it out, that makes this super thrilling to see - even more so with invested commentary on the side, or cool matchup production values. Not to mention, this format works well with any EVEN number of participants, so you don't have to worry about filling enough slots to make a perfect-fitting tourney bracket with no matchup Byes or anything like that.
Really hope to see this work out, thanks again!
nothing beats Cuntem A. Jones, USMC
I watched the clip without knowing any of this and I thought Wren was doing a bit. Had to watch it twice. Surreal. #Release the wrengreenscreencut
Just set tilt moves to your C-stick meng
Ultimate is fast paced chess.
Laughs in melee
you should play melee too >:3 is hype af
I love this smash bros talk, great insight and great bts stuff.
That intro was pretty EPIC
Sam Niko Wren and Clint in the same podcast?
Is it my birthday yet? 😭😍
Doc Main reporting for duty
It's kind of like DOTA (the old one) in the case of my old workplace. Like at the end of the day... when we hear the klickitty-klack of our boss' leather shoes moving towards the exit, everyone stops what their doing and start looking at each other. Then when we hear the lobby elevator "ding" echoing in the lobby and into the office, everyone starts unplugging their laptops to move into team positions so we can start playing. Ahh... good days.
"it's the most powerful triangle" as the tri force from urban Zelda is in the back ground
Love the video guys! Love smash tournament!
tilt attack is magic! hearing you guys talk just makes me wanna play so bad. its been a while since a last played and if i wasnt quranteened, i would call some friends right now T.T
Niko seamlessly transitioned from having a "main" in a video game to talking about Ash... I was highly confused when we was referring to pokemon and not Rainbow Six hahahh
Can’t wait for 2023
That smash competition was extremely epic! I always enjoyed watching other master gamers go at it rather than participate, bc I only excelled at Forza.... which no one plays :) Are any of you good at Forza?
Night before my brothers wedding, we were in the hotel watching live global matches of smash throwing money down.
Maaaan i couldn't stop laughing
Dean would probably get a saucy Joker if he gets those combos down
Tbh. Twice a year. Once with teams. One solo
Wren: I've handled everyone at some point or other
Er, time to talk to HR? ;)
you guys should host an open online tournament!
I love this concept
This Thursday was a great day
Corridor must smash their fans!
650 hours? Rookie numbers Niko
12:58 Clint, my man... Never, NEVER touch league of legends. It's got that infinite skill ceiling but it will cost you your soul.
Sideways wii-mote is the only way I learned to play Mario kart 8
Y'all need to play some Melee
If you homie stock that's your choice haha. No johns.
You guys should try Melee!!
Would you guys ever consider opening up an arena and playing smash with your fans?
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was the next bracket for Node.
This is great, but what happened to the banjo?
there's always some itchy finger people who dislike these guys smh....
Deans next main should be Ice Climbers
This is cool and all but where's the banjo?
So the exact same thing happened on a submarine deployment so for 6 months if anyone had free time we were playing smash we had like 3 separate tournaments
Deans next main should be Byleth
Anyone have a link to the video where Wren passed out after winning?
Don’t know if y’all have the time but when you do tournaments you should do best of 3 matches so the Clint sitch won’t happen again
I feel for Clint
You should do a subs tournament or an arena in stream :o
Steve is in smash!!!!!!!
how about that Steve reveal tho?
