Gambling on Mario Party CPUs 

9:55 DUDE I JUMPED! I didn't know you watched my series on Mario Party, that's awesome! Always down to play a game or anything like that if you were up for it!

Guys JoSniffy lied to us yesterday and said there would not be a Mario party 7 video for us. Very glad he subverted our expectations

7:44 Waluigi being in 3rd, starting a duel specifically with toad in 4th, and then losing is 100% a chat move

CPUCS is how I discovered Alpharad. I am not really a Smash player at all. I’ve played it VERY casually with friends but never more than that but I really enjoyed that series

I love non gameplay gameplay content of you guys. There is just no one that can not play like you guys

the closest we will ever get to CPUCS returning

It’s crazy how old the CPUCS is, it feels like it was only a year ago

going from putt putt to gambling really is just an allegory for life

in order to get the full lore on cpucs you have to watch an hour long mario party cpu betting video on alpharad gold 4 years later to find out season 4 isn't canon

Calling them weak instead of easy is *raw*

One of the few channels where you'll hear someone talk about how to optimize playing Mario Party

Unironicly one of my favorite series on the the channel

i cant believe jo just gaslit jacob into thinking the wombo combo happened to lucky poor zhu

Damn, CPUCS was four years ago. What a great time that was.

August Burns Red members have been asked about the origin of their band name on many occasions and have given numerous different stories.[62] The most popular story behind the name is an incident involving Jon Hershey, the band's original vocalist, when he dated a woman named August who burned his dog Redd alive in his dog house.[70] However, it was later revealed in a radio interview that this meaning (along with others) was simply a comical story created by the members and that there is no actual meaning behind the band name. Drummer Matt Greiner stated in the interview that "we just came up with the name to come up with a name."[71]

Well I guess it’s time for my yearly CPUCS rewatch now

All the CPUCS talk has me feeling so nostalgic... I remember every single moment you talked about so vividly. Quite possibly the golden age of Alpharad.

The only way to really bring back CPU CS is as an April Fools prank where the tourney actually is rigged and you “pretend” it’s not. Not even resetting, but setting most of the AI to 1 and DK to 9

Loved the cpucs mention, im so nostalgic for that time. Its the series that got me into alpharad twitter and twitter in general. I didnt keep any friends I made during that time (im pretty sure some attempted to groom me lmao), but it lead directly into plussy twitter, which is how i met many of my current closest internet friends.

CPUCS was my addiction for a hot second, helped me realize I enjoy improve story telling content

can we get 1+ hour of Jacob reading song lyrics in his own voice? I don't know even what game you could pretend that is.

Greatest revelation is that jacob knows about Identifying luck in Mario Party (awesome videos) Also yes please for the minigame ranking video! And yes please for videos talking about mario party balance!

Wasn't watching the screen when Jacob asked who my champion was but Jo said Toad so I'm going with Toad.

i could watch jacob and jo talk about cpucs for literal hours. I loved watching when it came out.

50:42 The word for it is 'getting old,' Jo.

I'm so glad they decided to play the 7th Mario party! It's always a nice surprise when they play a Mario Party game because I don't have pattern recognition :)

It was nice remembering CPU CS, one of my favorite series to watch after school

july was a rough one for me, thanks for giving somthing to look forward to I dont have words for how grateful I am

Honestly, I believe in Toad. I believe in an underdog story. Oh, interesting, Toad. Second. Fancy way to say you LOST. Jerk.

when jacob said “i had a friend named patrick who’s in a pop punk band” i imediatelly forgot ages and expected them to say fall out boy

1:06:42 Can't believe bowser fucked everyone over and then told peach 'skill issue' that's crazy

I think the thought process between Warios special orb capping in like 15 coins while Peach could potentially hit 30 is that It is technically a net value of 30 when you factor in that you are taking from the players instead of getting the coins for free. Also some of the other orbs have downsides too, Boos special item I believe bypasses some positive events too and also only lasts for 2 turns compared to Toads 3 turns of mushrooms and as for Mario, picking him is like playing a grappler, you pick them because of the allure of massive damage not because theyre good. The fireball is active for three turns so in theory when the stars align you can do some massive damage to the other players wallets.

The thing about Mario party 7 in particular is that there actually is no revolution or chance time. (Unless you count duels as chance time given you can trade stars.) Bowser every single time will force only a single or multi player minigame for half or all of your coins, and that's it.

You can use wii controllers on dolphin ( they have bluetooth ) and using a wiimote with motion-plus means you wont need a sensorbar

Someone in high school told me that the band Limp Bizkit was named after the lead singer's dog. Supposedly it was old and had a limp, and was about to be hit by a car, so they were telling "Limp Bizkit!" For the record, I never bought it, but I've remembered it for like 20 years lol.

I think with hidden blocks, at least beyond 2 or something, is that two blue spaces at any time have hidden blocks on them. One contains a star and the other contains coins, and when a player lands on a hidden block and claims the contents the block will then move to a different blue space.

28:06 They Might Be Giants is named after a movie that's basically Don Quixote, but for Sherlock Holmes.

The stupid thing about the "audio jungle" bit and getting called out for it, is that technically, it's not even Jerma's bit either. That bit has been around for a loooong time, especially in the EDM music sphere as a meme, long before Jerma started coining it. But it's just like what Jacob said: dependent on the popularity of the person who was widely known to say it, depends on how much shit you'll get for parroting it. It is mad though to think Jerma himself was technically referencing a pre-existing bit outside of his sphere and it became his regardless.

Wombo Combo makes me smile every time. Made a new friend a while back, plays smash w/ me but is not aware of the scene. He said it one time when we were playing and I'm like you know that?? And he goes yeah of course? And I go you know that's from a melee clip right? He was flabbergasted

I don’t know about anyone else, but I loved the 8-player party mode in Mario party 7. It be better if they implemented it to switch and have each person use a joy-con. But I think it could work for a comeback

49:47 I did not expect a Coheed mention in this video. Based taste as always, Jacob. I am eternally reminded that our music tastes are similar.

1:15:04 I'm sorry my mind has been corrupted but the neon heights logo is literally just among us

Man, CPUCS was GOATed. I was so hyped every week.

The best thing about the edititng is we may never know if colin didn't watch the video to know Jacob wanted a picture of him or if he did the leaf on purpose because of that

Dear Alpharad Gold, YIIK: A Postmodern RPG Yours truly, Spyridon

If I was Peach, I duel Mario. If I missed the star, I got a shot at a lot of coins.

I can't wait for them to 'play' my favorite Mario Party in 2 days

The band “Airborne Toxic Event” is named after the inciting incident from the novel White Noise. My friend loves the band and decided to read the book because of them and threw it in the trash cuz it was so bad.

I knooooow Jacob must get sick of playing Mario Party, but I always love watching him play with anyone. I'll watch it all

I accidentally took the "that's a reference" bit from y'all without even realizing over a year ago and now I can't stop using it

I hope y’all get to the 7th. I’m excited for my birthday episode

I think Mario's got this

51:56 I read this as “kid, I need new heroine for my new film”. Maybe I need glasses.

It took me a full hour to realize they were all cpus

Ngl really loved the CPUCS talk near the end of the video I miss that series but I understand it was draining

listened to not my weekend because of you mentioning them today jacob. they sound awesome!

Can you imagine the grand scale of a Jerma and Alpharad collab?

The Putt-Putt series has taken a wild turn

Toad Edit: You know what I'll just go with chat being Waluigi rather than going for Toad

cpu tournament talk got me nostalgic i remember waiting for those to come out on the edge of my seat

Ngl cpucs was the initial reason I started following this channel

1:12:58 something that even a lot of top players don't know, because they just kinda assume otherwise - there's actually no input lockout on L-canceling. You can option select vs someone tilting shield to fuck up your L-cancel by just inputting it multiple times at different timings. It's just that the GCC is horribly designed for doing this, but a lot of boxx players who've read the manifesto and watched the guides know this already.

I honestly expected them to not play Mario Party this month and consider Sonic Shuffle to be the Mario Party video instead, that would've been really funny

Toad won the battle of spirit, even if he didn't win the game

the rocket ship for the logo of neon heights looks like an among us

"I can't wait until I have grand nephews..." Not grandkids? So relatable.

watching this at midnight while high out of my mind feels surreal ngl

I can just tell these guys are good with their money ☺️

I love the mario party content so much. Even if it's just watching cpus lmao. But honestly I wish you guys would bring back teaming up with the cpus that series was so funny. Also as a dry bones fan it's a bit shameful that you forgot that Dry Bones appears in mario party 8 and super mario party as well.

So glad they picked Neon Heights. This was always my favorite board to play.

Alpharad being an Identifying Luck Stan is actually fire

personally as someone who has never played a mario party game but see you and some others play them constantly id love for you to make a series going over every mario praty minigame and their intricacies.

Another classic uninformed Jo moment at 3:57. Dry Bones was in fact in future Mario Party titles in fact he was in Mario Party 8. which is the game right after this.

1:02:00 in mario party super stars all positions can get stars from hidden blocks. For 4 place I believe it's 50 50 on stars or coins for 3 is 30 70. 2 is 20 80. And 1 is 10 90. I seen 1 place in one game get 3 hidden block stars in a row. 2 get 2 and 3 get 2 and then 4 got only coins from it. Which 1 getting 3 stars is a one is 10,000 chance aka 0.01% outcome.

Toy Convict still goes hard in current year.

I'm glad you also knew about the cheat code that last year.

Identifying luck is NOT something to fall asleep to. This is SERIOUS STUDYING BUSINESS!

The Neon Heights icon is just Among Us

Nothing I love more than the rare metalcore episode

August Burns Red is goated

Per googling Josniffy: People also ask: "What happened to Josniffy?" Fighting for his life and for Dede, Jo was defeated and apparently killed in battle by Blood Falcon, sacrificing himself so King Dede could escape to safety. He was later confirmed by Alpharad to be trapped in the Dark Realm with no way out.

Ma god it’s the 7th Mario party on the 7th month of da year. 211 days and I still wait for fight party. It shall happen. Until tomorrow…

Let's go Waluigi. That star exchange from the duel really was the big payoff.

The coolest thing would be CHAO5 mod CPUCS but considering that CPUCS will never return, huge o7, that series was peak Smash.

3:20 Let's Go Team Mario!!!

I was hoping they would mention dougdoug in their conversation about chat playing

Ok time to rewatch all of the CPUCS

Alpha I'm fairly certain Rockstar "aging poorly" isn't accurate because I think it was like that when it was written and I'm also pretty sure that was the whole point

Mario Party, but it's Mario Party this time

So, the talk about obscure bands reminded me about out French teacher in high school who was REALLY trying to hook us on this band called Arcade Fire.

I was not expecting the semi-religious possibly-christian post-hardcore band discussion in this video. I was personally a mewithoutYou kid growing up.

I also graduated during the Pandemic, in fact it started during my senior year of highschool, and ruined both that and my freshman year of college. Shit sucked.

Ah, the return of a classic

I haven’t watched the rest of the video yet but I’m rooting for my man Toad

I might have to go back and rewatch the masterpiece that was CPUCS

3:39 nah, Jo, I'm believering Peach, gotta go for the girls it's what I vote xD

Stars not appearing in hidden blocks in 5 might be because it moves to another blue space when a capsule or the star takes its spot

Fun fact, Chad Kroeger's surname (obviously being Kroeger) rhymes with Krueger, as in Freddy Krueger

My spouse thought Nickelback was a solo artist and Chad Kroger's name was John Nickelback

25:05 the silence says it all
