@williamhowells806 2 года назад

the hearty retrospective for breath of the wild slaps. I've gone back to it multiple times to the point where i could make a retrospective on the video itself. I was 14 when i first played BOTW so wasn't really able to look at it critically. your video lines up almost entirely with my thoughts now

What is an AMA

@IronBlaze77 2 года назад

Darn, it’s unfortunate that the signature move tier list won’t be returning. I loved the concept, its implementation, as well as the editing. It wasn’t something I’d seen before and I thought it was quite creative. Nevertheless, your content is still amazing.

@MrMockRock 2 года назад

Honestly, I'm in the same camp, but "it wasn't something I'd seen before" was actually part of the problem haha. I cut this out of the video for time, but one of the other issues with the series is that it resulted in clickbait-style view patterns (RU-vid literally tells you that). People clicked on it and didn't always get what they were expecting, and the concept of the series was always really difficult to convey with a title and thumbnail alone.

@bladebowman5110 2 года назад

@username4835 2 года назад

@Casual_PKBeats 2 года назад

Your comment about taking criticism is one I take heart in. There's plenty of RU-vid comments that're just weird or rude for the sake of being rude, but there's also a lot that offer genuinely important criticism to your videos (even if they're still worded extremely crassly lmao). It can be hard to wipe the pride away, but taking some of the criticisms seriously is really important to improving a channel Congrats again on 100k! Fun video, liked hearing your thoughts on many things. Here's to a good 2022 :)

@Zoroark_Master Год назад

Remind me of alpharad saying kinda the opposite, that he doesn’t listen to pretty much any criticism from his comment (except if it’s an other content creator) because "they’re just random internet peoples, they don’t know how to be a RU-vidr" (which has a similar energy as butch "if you’re not an artist, you shouldn’t criticize art") I love alpharad, but that mindset isn’t the best

The passion you have in your videos along with your entertaining way of voicing it as well (plus the buttery smooth voice helps a lot as well, sleep is easy with a voice like that). I look forward to seeing how you shape the channel further, and you can count me in for whatever other games you journey into, I'll tag along for the ride.

Good to hear about your upcoming projects, but I am personally sad the Signature Move series is going away, though I do understand your motivation for doing so and respect your decision. _Also why did my Discord pfp have to get Error 404'd like that reeeeeeeee_

@MrMockRock 2 года назад

Yeah, me too, I've got some other ideas to potentially incorporate signature move analysis on the channel but gonna keep that one under wraps for the moment. Also Discord is Discord.

@Tinil0 2 года назад

Thank you for sticking with the core "quality over quantity" mindset for the main channel. It's plainly obvious how strong that siren song is for switching to more casual, frequent videos that are low effort given how many other channels end up swerving in that direction for the money. I don't necessarily fault them obviously, people should pursue what makes them happy, but I am a sucker for long form and highly edited videos and I am fine waiting over a month for them. Not that my views count for more than anyone else, but I want you to know that you have people that deeply appreciate your hard work even if we can't show it beyond a single thumbs up, a watch, and a comment. I hope that counts for something for you man.

@absol-utezero2942 2 года назад

Man, it's at this moment that I realize that I've been here for a lot longer than I thought, I forget I was here before the 10k video, looking at your videos you've made, I think I showed up around when "What ever happened to Pit?" was posted. Congrats on making it so far! Your style of video making has always been a favorite of mine - there's a certain professionalism in tone and content to all of them, while not sounding like a research paper. You're great at what you do, you deserve the progress you've made, and hope you keep growing!

I'm grateful for your commitment to quality. I've seen far too many RU-vidrs that I once enjoyed fall down the rabbit-hole of finding that quick, easy content was what got them more views more consistently, and the fact that you refuse to let that happen to yourself is a huge relief to me.

So if Talks becomes the new home for analysis for fighter content I'm here for it. But an interesting idea I think would be to talk a player who (you think) plays x character the best and doing a breakdown in certain moments of matches that highlights this. Otherwise it's been a ride man and I can't wait to see what else you've got for us.

21:18 Look mom, I'm on TV! And yeah the advice of keeping RU-vid as a hobby is something I've been realising as of late. When most of us were teens with endless time we just posted whatever we wanted that day regardless of quality. As you grow older you tend to lean towards a more formal direction with appreciation to detail and that comes with it's own hiccups such as wanting to have higher production values which takes time in it's own right. Congrats on 100K by the way. Been here since the problem with heavyweights video and have enjoyed the channel a lot since.

@LARAUJO_0 2 года назад

Firstly and foremost, congrats on 100k. Here's everything else i have to say 3:48 Aw I liked the signature move series, but since it doesn't perform well, i get dropping it 8:18 Oh. This probably sounds like a stretch, but I thought it was a set of claws because the ck in "mock" makes rock sorta sound like "croc" (as in crocodile) and the intro animation makes it look like they're grabbing or swiping at something 12:07 Wow that seems extremely helpful 13:52 Wait, Rivals of Aether 2 got announced and is 3D? How have I not heard of this 14:35 The build-up to that was perfect lmao 14:42 Huh this might explain why I like your videos so much. I also find game design fascinating and am in a game development college program 23:33 I thought that question meant snails as in the animal rather than escargot 29:08 Agree 100%. There were so many missed opportunities for Echoes, especially for the roster size and the fact half of the ones we got are barely any different from their counterparts 29:17 Team Canada let's go eh? 30:50 That is really surprising to me 32:51 Understandable. The meta and self-aware aspects don't appeal to everyone, but Toby's music being a bop is unanimous 35:35 That's to be expected honestly. How Samus and Ridley are designed in Smash don't really capture the feel of how they are in Metroid to any extent other than aesthetically 37:46 If you're looking for a more fundamental shooter with a little bit of quirkiness i'd heavily recommend Doom Eternal. I'm not even a huge fan of shooters but i love how the game controls and plays, and i think it's a testament to its design when the game constantly makes me think about how well it's designed (excluding the third level which is just a total mess for the first half)
