Damn, that pop off from Dabuz was even better than I remember. It was great during Grands that all hope seemed to be lost for Coney wanting Dabuz to win after the reset, but he pulled it off.
I'm a huge Riddles fan and I think it would've been awesome for Riddles to win the FGC tournament before he switches his focus to SF6 but at the same time Dabuz earned and deserved it. Especially beating Riddles too, someone he has a losing record against. Massive respect to Dabuz Also not all our money is loonies and toonies. Just the coin with a loon on it and the coin that's worth 2 loons (two + loonies = toonies)
Is there a reason the stream audio wasnt there this time? The video just feels empty with only commentary and none of the usual background from the game and casters. The casters in the background especially helped keep the sense of hype and tension of the match and this low random background music didnt do that at all. Everything just felt anticlimactic. Overall bad editing choice if done intentionally and should go back to how coneys highlights were done before.
Coney’s primarily had 2 editors for FOREVER, FriendAlias and Quinn. Looks like he hired a third one, Kelkador, for this video and the Dumb Drivers 2 one. Kelkador’s a good editor but I do agree he made some style decisions that are very abnormal for this channel. Idk if Coney wanted those decisions or if he even really cares, but either way if Kelkador sticks around I’m guessing it’s gonna take him a bit to learn how to match Quinn and Alias’ style
Fun fact about the Canadian Flag, they type of maple leaf is called a sugar maple, but the leaf you see on our money is a Norway maple, which is not native to Canada
10:39 Street Fighter 6 is doing 2/3 sets just because it's a new game. A lot of other arcade fighters have to essentially have a trial period to see how the meta and match lengths play out. Right now matches are fast, but when competitive players start to completely ease into their playstyles then they might start having longer matches. I don't think that'll happen, but it would suck for people to play 3/5 then get less games rather than work our way to an additional 1 or 2 games. Look at Dragonball Fighterz. Those early matches weren't so bad. But, then TODs became less common and pros learned how to keep their teams alive. Now 2/3 seems like too much sometimes.
some games like bbtag definitely suffered hard from this. as the game went on people found TODs with basically every single character in the entire game so an unlucky happy birthday counter hit will end a game from start in under 20 seconds and happens somewhat often. and everyone ran best 2 of 3 sets for the entire games life until it pretty much died so sets could end within a minute of picking up your controller if you werent careful
Esam honestly got bailed out by being able to pose with the board of that fan,, that made it pretty cool. No-one else had that option available to them tho of course
The bits from this stream killed me. The LTG hand spin, the Mario and Luigi stuff, the fat guy flying out of the water whenever Kazuya got a kill, it was all gold
I should rlly start watching these kinds of events on my own but it's so much easier to just get the digestable 30 minute highlight reel with coney reaction/commentary!
11:04 this point about Steve Dair is so good, I never really thought about it in that way but it’s basically bowser down b, with not only essentially NO LAG, it also doesn’t even lock your landing in place, Steve can just decide he doesn’t want to commit to the spot he used it and just go do something else. Completely insane
Well... it does have some weaknesses that Bowser down B doesn't have. It takes up resources, can be clanked with, and is very weak if Steve decides to not commit.
@staticchimera6371 ah yes because Steve is so limited on resources, it's not like he can, at any time, put a wall between himself and an opponent and get them
@@staticchimera44I think the only reasonable complaint here (imo) is the clanking thing, that’s kinda weird. The resources is just a character thing, that would be like Olimar going “yeah but I need pikmin for my moves” that’s just the character. And with basically every character besides Steve, if you decide to cancel your move you don’t get a fucking hitbox AT ALL. If you can decide to not commit, you should be happy you get anything (imo). I play ken, and how fucked would it be if I when I canceled focus the fucking move still came out at level 1?
@@hunbi1875 Steve is very limited on resources in many top level matches, knowledge on how to deplete Steve's resources is one of the most important parts of Steve counterplay.
I feel like Rosa is one of the most polarizing characters to watch, you either love watcher her or you hate it. I personally really like watching her and think she’s the most interesting zoner but I understand the opposite view
6:55 give it up for another unhinged coney opinion that I have seen noone but him and 3 chatters who wanna be liked by him hold ever, I never played her in arms but fuck is her design awesome, she is crazy cute!
what is up with this video why does the audio from the tournament mute during matches and then the editor throws in undertale in the background it’s so weird
God can you imagine how incredibly sick Kazuya would be if he didn't have so many airtight combos? Like if for each of the hits he was making an actual prediction? Cuz sometimes it happens when the combo isn't tight enough and it's fucking magical like against that Samus, but he's so consistently overtuned that it doesn't really show up much
I never comment on TH-cam videos but this shit felt so much emptier than the stream, what happened to all the audio, why is it just various video game music, what the fuck is the mario galaxy theme doing here over two guys fighting
(It's a long one) Opinion from a random fan who might be alone here: I don't really like this editing compared to the kind of editing we got out of older top 8 highlight videos we would get from you. The music replacing game/tournament stream volume (except for the player walk-outs preceding the set) is kinda weird and doesn't feel as authentic as the alternative, which is just using the regular stream sound and going with it. The editing in the older videos in this series, such as the LMBM one from half a year ago, is probably my favorite video of yours since it's hilarious hearing you talk over the stream with your own gags, jokes, and reactions to the gameplay. The video game music replacing the actual audio just doesn't make the video as enjoyable, at least for me. It's like I am no longer experiencing a Coney video, I'm experiencing your average smash content creator's video. I could be overreacting over something small that bothers only me and nobody else, and if that's the case, it's all good. Thanks for reading up on a fan's take, edit how you want make the content you want to make, and thanks for being one of the most entertaining personalities I've found in recent years.
I honestly just cannot understand the perspective of liking Rosa less than Dabuz’s other characters, like she’s not super interesting but she can at least do cool setups and tech with Luma that add a bit of variety. Olimar and min min just spam the same moves to camp you out (no hate against Dabuz that’s just how the characters play)
im from canada, and i like how new brunswick was like LOOK... WE ARE RIGHT THERE, cause we are so insignficant, but yes coney, if you see this, we use internet mooses, real, confirmed
I'm hyped to see Dabuz win this tourney, but this bracket was the most residentsleeper Top 8 I've ever seen in any smash game. Glad you made a highlights cuz it was fun to watch it with your commentary about absolute randomness.
Why did the editor mute the CEO stream? It's awkward just listening to Coney and whatever loosely fitting music they throw in, sounds like a lot of effort to make the video worse imo imo
1. You're definitely not a fisher, Twitch chat is crazy. 2. TH-cam does share Premium money with creators to make up for that viewer not watching ads, but I have no idea how the percentages work out or whatever.
hearing xenoblade music on a coney video seems sacrilegious for how much he says he dislikes the game LOL 27:25 dude's been playing like a bitch for the past 5+ years, wym coney.....
18:39 BO5 is usually only reserved for WF, LF, and GF outside of games like Strive and UMVC3 which are way faster to play and always BO5 the whole way through the bracket. SF6 having BO5 for all top 8 is pretty unusual and largely only happens because Capcom wants it to be BO5. The main reason why Fighting Games favor BO3 is because unlike Smash events where there's only like 2-3 games people actually care about, there's often 6+ large games that all have to be played. Smash can get away with their top 8s taking 4 hours because they're the only games that usually matter for their events, but FGC games have to share the venue with dozens of other games that all have their own brackets to run, so they can't afford to have 4 hour top 8s because it puts every other game back. Like there was a massive shitstorm last EVO because MK11 runs BO5 top 8 when they probably shouldn't and it caused the entire day to run late because of it. Hell, I think half the reason the FGC hates Smash is because they insist on BO5 top 32 when it's already the slowest game at most FG events and it causes their top 8s to take way longer than other games.

"He hit the Captain Morgan" cracked me up lmao.

I think the leg on chair and hand shake made it even better as we know he didn’t do that on purpose lol but it so funny.

Where’s the sf6 portion unDrake
I love frank's theme, I gotta finish earthbound one of these days
Not a fan of the lack of stream audio
Why no game audio. It’s so off putting
where is the SF6 part of the stream?
Why is the game audio missing?? Feels so corny without game sound and with just generic "nintendos greatest hits" music
15:44 i was askinig the exact same question
What’s the clip of the guy getting blasted into the water?
