Ha he literally does -- in their podcast this was one of his Notes App Ideas that he was hoping they'd let him turn into a video. And I'm very glad they did!
Also from the Smosh Mouth podcast, it also looke like Ian and Anthony encourages them to do ridiculous ideas like that so it felt like the two buying back Smosh ensures such freedom to do stuff like this if they're passionate on doing it
Him going into a kneeling position and using the Magazine as an improv Bipod, on top of the fact that he apparently also exhales before taking the shot. He is applying actual military practices, which makes him an absolute tryhard. And i love it.
@@jananisrikanth9404 I mean, it was less backseating and more legit teaching. Angela genuinely didn't know the rules so would not be that fun for her to just guess everything
I really hope they do this again it was fucking funny and terrifying. Arasha and Shayne being absolute mercenaries was unexpected and Angela just being a proud coach. I want to see like Damien or Tommy try, I think Tommy would be an unexpected contender.
This is actually such a great idea. Not only do you have to consider the actual game, you have to make sure the pieces are not vulnerable to getting courtney freaking sniped
Should the chess players try and group the pieces together to reduce the target area and perhaps have the pieces support each other, or should they spread them out to make smaller targets??
@@Ocker3 yeahhhh I was wondering why they weren’t just bunching their pieces together around the king instead of just mostly playing the game board part normally
@@Ocker3Exactly! Do you cover the king so he's not an open target, or should you spread them apart for smaller targets + a fallen piece won't also knock over the king?
think the pieces got to be more heavier or even made a whole new set for this game to be balanced, it seems to be too reliant to the snipe, when it'll be more fun to add some coverage in the board and also, make a castle for the base, or even better, make a whole diorama for the game.. this have so much potential
@@Ocker3if Shayne's performance with the gun is any indication, grouping them together would have been a major mistake, 1 shot and now you're risking 2-3 other pieces
I feel like doing three chess turns each and then three shots each would be the golden ratio. Because then you get progress on both ends and stakes on both ends.
I also wonder if it would be good to incorporate some kind of rule where if the king is sniped, the opposing team must choose one of their non-downed power pieces to sacrifice instead. If no power pieces are available to be sacrificed, the king stays down and the sniping team gets the checkmate. I feel like it could open up more tactical play rather than it boiling down to whoever has the better sniper the pick the king earliest.
I think that would be cool if they actually had people that could play chess. Not even well but at least knew the rules. As it is its just two people moving the pieces randomly
This videos hits a niche for people who are attracted both to Shayne being an expert sniper and also by him talking Angela through a chess game we’re winning today
I was never in the military, but I agree. He crouched and rested the gun, so his breathing and natural movements would not get in the way of the aim. He used breathing control to shoot at least once, which is a technique for avoiding your heartbeat to interfere.
@@LokelyConed I think you may be understimating Shayne's serious acting abilities because he's done so much comedy work. I really do think he could do a serious sniper role well. But he does shine in his comedic acting, no doubt!
If I’m right his dad was a sniper or at least was in the military with sniper friends, shayne brings it up time to time, so he’s known about proper sniping techniques for a while now
I feel like the editing on games has a way bigger part on the comedy now and im loving it, i especially loved when Arasha disappeared after saying diagonally😂 Thank you, Kevin
I would literally love if you just documented training Angela and Arasha independently learning chess from experienced chess players and have them face off.
This was truly such a good idea from Shane but ALSO shoutout to the editing, it's easy to miss how impressive of a job it was to make each shot suspenseful even when a lot of them didn't land.
what we learned today is arasha truly missed her calling as an international super spy. we already knew the manipulation skillset was there but she’s even mean with the rifle
Is it just me, or does the editing feel particularly energetic and creative in this video? Kevin Plachey (the editor) did such a fantastic job here, it’s so fun!
100% would watch an entire series of this. Shayne's intensity and how delicate Arasha was with the nerf gun paired with Noah and Angela just going for it🤣🤣best thing ever
the worker harrier (blaster in the vid) is a powerhouse, its also expensive. i think shayne is into nerf as a proper hobby so that means a lot of practice
Kevin's editing on this was so good. All the dialog laid in from sniper movies and all the drama makes it so silly. It's a great concept on its own, but the editing really sells it.
I think it’s bc Shayne keeps mentioning his ideas on the podcast and we’re all screaming at them to make them into videos lmao. I’m still waiting for the skits from Angela’s and Olivia’s episodes to be made. Especially Ham Cake and Valet Guy
Angela holding up the next gun with Shane aiming over the shoulder felt so cinematic for some reason. Like that should be a big dramatic moment of teamwork and they just casually did that
This idea was so crazy, so cool, and so fun that I just had to try it. A buddy of mine and I played "Sniper Chess" for approx. 2 hours or so before having to return to our daily adult lives. We fixed up and changed a couple of rules in regards to the sniper to make a bit more interesting for us.. Rules added/changed were as follows: 1. Two shots instead of three. (We were about 12 feet away) 2. If both shots resulted in casualties, you'd get a third. 3. If the king were shot down along with another piece, the shooter would then lose. (8 ball style) Optional rules; 1. One shot only, but every sniper related casualty results in another shot. (8 ball style [Can make the game go faster]) 2. A pawn can be respawned after every two turns (can make the game take longer) 3. Killing a queen can result in the resurrection of another piece (No kings. Only rebuttals can bring a king back) ..just some rules we played around with and liked. To each their own lol
Shayne’s look at 10:39 really helped me realize that for the sheer chaos we lost with Olivia’s dwindling video appearances, tenfold has been returned to us through Angela and I love her for it
My two favorite parts of this are both Shane hands down. As a chess teacher, he followed good opening principals and developed his pieces in a real manner. As a rifleman his shots and stance were quality as well. The Smosh team could use some chess lessons though, but very entertaining.
Props to the editors for all the assassin-level build up, the COD sounds and some goofy sound effects that I always love (especially the scream at 14:22, always hilarious xD) 💯✨
I come back to this video every once in a while, Sniper Chess may be one of the best ideas put on the channel (not to mention Shayne's marksman moments being amazing).
Wait what are you actually serious?? You're telling me that The Chosen is literally a trained sniper?? That he would immediately take the highest military rank possible? Incredible, such a talented creature he is, truly.
@@SteelSkin667 Be careful with this information! I heard that he's the super secret super weapon we have prepared. It's not nukes. It's The Chosen. All the taxes actually go into the military's desperate attempts to persuade him to join the force but he never agrees, just lends his aid on occasion. He cannot be tamed....
Correct me if I'm wrong but I did rmr him saying that his father was in the military or something of that sort So maybe that has something to do with his skill
I need a marksman to cover my blunders

@@TM.BECK14to this day I wonder if he claimed the fart machine as a work related expense (tax write off)
That moment where Noah and Angela threw away any attempts at sniping technique and just went ham was fantastic.
And the way they got the most pieces down in that one round too!! They went sicko mode fr
"You just gotta ***king take the safety off!"
Shayne being so serious about this and Angela admiring him is so funny to me
Everyone is surprised that Shayne is a good marksman like he wasn’t raised in a military family 😂
oh my god you're so fucking righhhhhtttt
He got the cheat codes in his genes, fuckin' binary.
God I love that bastard.
I think he has close relations with the chosen. 😎
Of the four he is the one I would say is most likely to have actually fired a gun to begin with, whatever that means for a nerf gun lol
Yeah, but it was the Air Force. Do they get sniper training too?
Shayne looking so serious throughout the entire video is the funniest part of the video
Its literally life or death my guy! The tree in the back stands as testament lol

Him going into a kneeling position and using the Magazine as an improv Bipod, on top of the fact that he apparently also exhales before taking the shot.
He is applying actual military practices, which makes him an absolute tryhard. And i love it.
Honestly, if I ever got to play chess this way, I'd want to be in character the whole time as well. Lol
No wonder this is Shayne's idea. This is the most Chosen coded game 😂 Would love it if they play this for the annual Chosen Tournament
YES! that would be hilarious
Ah yes, Sniper Chess. The game of kings meets the skill of a warrior... Finally a challenge worthy of the Chosen...
I love how the chosen is supposed to be based on spencer but bits of shayne are slowly leaking out into the character

He was raised in a military family! He probably was taught how to shoot at a young age.
the worker harrier (blaster in the vid) is a powerhouse, its also expensive. i think shayne is into nerf as a proper hobby so that means a lot of practice

I DIED when there was that long buildup at 17:45, and the "Just go with your gut" and then MOVES THE PAWN SIDEWAYS WITH SO MUCH CONFIDENCE🤣💀💀💀
That diagon alley joke on Arasha at 4:50 was a gem. Props to whoever potterhead edited that in 😂
ikr i fuking lost it
With the way she pronounced it, her ass is headed to Nocturne Alley 😂🤣😂
It says Kevin in the description so props to Kevin
Shayne’s look at 10:39 really helped me realize that for the sheer chaos we lost with Olivia’s dwindling video appearances, tenfold has been returned to us through Angela and I love her for it
What happened to her :(
Interesting and fun concept. Please do this again with Shayne (since it was his idea), Damien, Spencer, and Tommy.
Ooo yes Spencer vs Tommy doing this would be epic!
Also Anthony and Ian on a team
Do it with ian, he's good at aiming
With Shane and Spencer usinv the Chosen costume as the sniper
YES
12:43 bro as soon as Shayne went into true shooter position I KNEW he was about to get it 😎
My two favorite parts of this are both Shane hands down.
As a chess teacher, he followed good opening principals and developed his pieces in a real manner.
As a rifleman his shots and stance were quality as well.
The Smosh team could use some chess lessons though, but very entertaining.
As a chess teacher, did you realize the board is not set up legally?
@@script_kiddietbf, wouldn't have mattered, board became illegal within the first 2 moves lol
Props to the editors for all the assassin-level build up, the COD sounds and some goofy sound effects that I always love (especially the scream at 14:22, always hilarious xD) 💯✨
I'm always able to pinpoint Kevin Plachy's editing before reading the credits. I LOVED him with TVF, and seeing him edit with Smosh is the best.
My fav edit was Arasha saying diagonally and vanishing. Just perfect.
the classic Wilhelm Scream
Shayne and Angela on a team has chaotic older brother/little sister energy
I come back to this video every once in a while, Sniper Chess may be one of the best ideas put on the channel (not to mention Shayne's marksman moments being amazing).
this is the tone i want every smosh games video to have, angela is thriving she’s so funny
*Some of the cast having minimal knowledge of chess makes this 100% better
For real!!! “Do you wanna go first or do you want me to go first?” Who’s gonna tell him😂
Not to mention, at least for the first game they set the pieces up on the wrong sides. The board should've been rotated 90 degrees.
@@infernalspectre true 😂
I don't know if Shayne did sniper training but as an ex-Cadet Officer, that's close to proper breathing control
Wait what are you actually serious?? You're telling me that The Chosen is literally a trained sniper?? That he would immediately take the highest military rank possible? Incredible, such a talented creature he is, truly.
@@Fluff_Noodles He is trained in gorilla warfare and the top sniper in the entire US armed forces.
@@SteelSkin667 Be careful with this information! I heard that he's the super secret super weapon we have prepared. It's not nukes. It's The Chosen. All the taxes actually go into the military's desperate attempts to persuade him to join the force but he never agrees, just lends his aid on occasion. He cannot be tamed....
that’s exactly what i was thinking too
Correct me if I'm wrong but I did rmr him saying that his father was in the military or something of that sort
So maybe that has something to do with his skill
Kevin!!!!!! your editing is absolutely amazing! you add an entire new layer of humor to the video, i am obsessed with how you edited this video 👏👏👏👏👏
