I beg to differ, as Sherb is a literal murderer. The first time he gave me a gift, he said that he built it on his last island, it then turned out to be a gravestone. Not only that but he hacked into my nook stop and found out how many miles I had. This "innocent" goat is trying to kill me. He is constantly watching my villagers from corners staring at them and only leaving when I show up. He is constantly plotting murder therefore making him the most dangerous villager in animal crossing.
Lucky has a durability score of 10+. He is not a mummy. He is a dog that keeps having life threatening accidents and continues to wander around and be fully functional despite an injury count of "everything". He's entirely covered in bandage and cast and yet he's at top form. He is an implacable monster that survives everything that can possibly be thrown at him.
The fighting ability score determines how well your island can defend itself, and the edibility score determines how much other islands will want to attack yours
backseat is deadass laying the foundations for an animal crossing RTS-esque game. or maybe it's more clash of clans since you do get to decorate your base?
20:02 I mean you call it a redemption... But honestly I feel like scoring low in edibility isn't exactly a bad thing, at least for the person being scored.
In ACNL, there was a minigame you could play called Desert Island Escape where each animal had unique abilities based on their species. The rhinos could literally run obstacles down, horses and ostriches had more stamina, and elephants, lions and gorillas could fight enemies. This video is technically canon.
We should give points to the villagers with violent or crime specific themes, like Marlo (who is a mob boss, but scored 7) or Tasha (who is a secret agent, but scored 6). If they can handle things like guns they should've deffinetely moved up some ranks.
I feel intelligence also should have played a part, since smarter villagers can strategize better, and therefore can better know when to hit and when to defend, allowing them to last longer.
I was so impressed with Vic, considering he's one of my favorite villagers! Also, it makes sense, considering his paradise home in the DLC is basically a battle-torn home, with swords and skulls and pure DEATH.
ahhh, a person of knowledge and taste. always be friend with the viking. he's always pumping iron on the beach in clear view of the airport and i like to think of it as a warning.
I’m kinda curious about how the living object/nonbiologicaly made villagers would fair. Like, Stitches is a pretty flimsy guy, but on the other hand, he doesn’t have any actual ORGANS, therefore, if he got slashed or shot at, theoretically he could scamper off and repair himself with a simple needle, thread, and stuffing combo. Not to mention, who’s to say some of the villagers (Ex: Rodeo, Coco, Ankha) don’t have magical powers or abilities of some sort? I doubt a bunch of pirates with swords or even guns could stand much of a chance against an angry bull mage or, worse, ancient Egyptian curses. If a mummy dog like lucky and a living haniwa like coco can exist, I think we can say some kinds of magic exist in the AC world.
Yeah! Magic totally exists in the Animal Crossing world. Well, for starters, you have haunted art, magic wands, and a fortune teller character that actually tells your fortune accurately.
These are the only rankings that are relevant and legitimate in AC. Although Tiansheng should be 1 though, he's literally the Monkey King/Son Goku, and we don't need to watch 50 episodes straight of him doing a Kamehameha to know it.
As much as I LOVE Coco, I’d imagine she’d be lower on the list. Though she can indeed curse you for 10 generations, she’s based off of haniwa which is just a clay figure mixed with cremated remains. She’d shatter to pieces just by tripping.
Did the sheep villagers get the padded bonus? Cause they seemed a little lower then I expected. Sheep wool is extremely thick, and they can grow a *lot* really quick, so not only can they take a hot, if you have some prep time, they can actually pad up your whole island.
I’ve watched this video multiple times but only noticed now that every spotlighted villager has a special “title” along with their score breakdown graphic. Kudos for the effort!
Pretty sure the #1 spot should go to Tiansheng, he’s literally the Monkey God. Fighting devils is just a side gig for him. Ur island is pretty much top level security with him.
Danganronpa and Animal Crossing are my two favorite video game series of all time, so these videos are like a rush of adrenaline to me. I love them so much, and love how you tackle these subjects in a very unique way. You’ve got a subscriber :) I’ve also just noticed you used Celeste music in this video as well! You’ve got great taste!
"big sis and lazy get along" no, erik and pheobe talked and erik ended the conversation by saying "Uhhh... I'll be busy... Hiding from you!" because he didn't like what she was cooking.
why did Drift and Raddle score so low? they are both highly poisonous frogs and they deserve a higher spot. Also Spike's horns is covered in Gold which should give him a weapons boost
Very poisonous yes...but it requires getting bitten or being eaten. Idk, having a defensive mechanism that results in you being injured or killed isn't a great one.
I feel like you should have given some kind of additional even higher weaponry multiplier for folks with like, actual, literal weaponry they could easily access such as the retired military folks, the mob boss, or the Viking who DEFINITELY has a war ax stashed somewhere. It just feels odd for 'black magic' to score the same as 'has a horn', you know?
Personally, I think tabby should get a 2.5x multiplier in the Intimidation category because I was playing Happy Home Designer, and Tabby literally asked me to create an "old scary hospital" and recommended I play K.K. Dirge on a phonograph in there.
I think special quirks like camofrog having well... camo should count for at least something. or a villager who acts a a nurse could be more helpful in battle as sort of the healer of the group which coul d also count for some sort of bonus. other examples include Boomer's military background, villagers who have some form of martial arts incorporated with their design, or villagers that keep weaponry related items in their house.
I feel like it's going to be between Byakuya, Tsumugi, Teruteru, and possibly even Chiaki- Edit (11/24/21): I'm going to state why I think those four are going to be the most hired now- Byakuya isn't going to be the type of person to be hired, he hires people. (/hj) But really, the more people who works for him more, the much more companies people would like to collaborate with his and give theirs attention. Tsumugi could make any costumes from any fictional character, and can even act exactly like them, so she'd get tons of people hiring her for cosplays, conventions, and simply helping their store/company get tons of attention. Teruteru could definitely work at even the wealthiest of companies and make gourmet food, and sometimes he could even be the one sponsoring other companies during events and such. And last but not the least, Chiaki Nanami, she could stream any game and people would donate to her a bunch (especially the simps), not to mention game-testing/beta-testing earns you a lot of money if you do it often.
My island somehow scored a 99 and it’s all thanks to Rodeo pulling in a solid 20 points by himself. I will be shoulder to shoulder with my Black Magic Bull once the Gulliver invasions begin!
@@thanatoast That’s sick though, you broke into the fabled realm of triple digits. I made sure to make Rodeo a black magic castle in the Paradise DLC lol.
The algorithm suggested this video and I’m hooked. Your style and content reminds me so much of Polygon’s Unravelled series which ended earlier this year. Less chaotic but just as informative and entertaining.
First video I've come across from this channel, and honestly, I did not expect to love it as much as I did. The editing, humor and overall high level of quality made this so much fun to watch. Subscribed, keep up the great content!!
All right, this was even more entertaining than I was expecting. And I’m happy to report that my island scored just above 100 thanks to the presence of three wolves, a jock mandrill, and the kangaroo sensei (with a handful of cannon fodder for support).
I gotta wonder about the special villagers. Isabelle is in Smash, but I get an odd feeling that if pirates invaded, Tom Nook would absolutely throw down
Del actually just moved in to my island very recently, so it's cool seeing him make the top 3. I guess that makes sense considering how he's based on a Japanese WWII battleship!
I love how Backseat puts every song name at the time it starts playing ! you never see this factor in videos so i just wanted to point this out! I also love how Backseat edits the music with what’s happening in the video, for example; at the beginning of the video where he was making a little scenario with danganronpa music and when he says “or just do nothing” the music drops. Very nice detail idk i just noticed this and thought it was cool
I’m sorry that this style of content didn’t work out for you. I get why you stopped, for the grind of the prevelent games, but know that we’d like to see you return
Great video! although, I would argue that jock, uchi/older sister personality types would be more capable of fighting than snooty and cranky due to the implied age of the latter being elderly and snooty being too classy to be well suited for combat.
To answer this: Chrissy is Peppy which loses her three points at step three. But then Francine is Snooty which gains her 4 points, creating a 7 point divide.
@@bibichillieblue probably just luck. There isn’t really anything in the game that makes certain villagers of a personality meaner. I have her on my island and she’s pretty normal.
Now I have to disagree with you on the part about Joey being cannon fodder. You see, Joey is the god of Animal Crossing. He could easily wipe out every species with the blink of an eye. He appears sweet and childish, but that is a farce. If fed enough Spaghetti Carbonera, Joey will reveal who he really is. The results are more shocking than the little info I have put here. Also I like the part above Coco "The cuddly SCP" That's actually what I think of when i see her
Del is just proof that you just need to find your place, and just because yoh don't fit in one group doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you. Inspiring.
I feel like one of the peppy villagers would win in a fight since they can talk about having 73 pit traps hidden on your island if you talk to them with a shovel lol.
it's a good question, to be sure, but i think any scenario considering the overall chances of an island caught in the grips of a life-or-death scenario has to consider the resident representative-chances are they're packing an axe
I loved this video, Specially the ranking you gave Gruff and what you said of him, he hardly ever gets mentioned, much less the love he deserves, You just gained a new Subscriber
This is a fantastic follow-up to your last Animal Crossing video. I kind of want to cross-reference both lists to see who'd be most likely to survive the island breaking down into a state of chaos.
Without intending it, these lists are kind-of flipped on their heads, with the best scorers of Edibility ranking low for fighting and so on. I wonder if any managed to score high on both... maybe the cows?
I love seeing more of polygons unhinged style videos now that Brian is running a new series on his channel. He sparked such a great potential in the RUclips video essay community.
*I forget his name alright-* Ok so, the frog wearing a mask (as I said, I forget his name) should have scored higher. He could spread his disease (hence the mask wearing) and probably eliminate the enemy from the battlefield. Yet.. he would probably die before he can sneeze on anybody. Edit : Low key suprised rodeo was my highest scoring villager! Also I remember dressing Cyd in a baby romper and making him look like a weak toddler! I’m scared now-
@@BackseatYT Ah - okay! (Ok like I’m actually kind of shocked, you’re one of the rare you tubers that replies to the unpopular / new comments - just like thanks for this stuff!)
I appreciate when people take the concept seriously and engage with it in the comments, it makes it a lot more fun that way! So I’ll always try and reply if I can help answer something!
He'll be unstoppable until the halfway through the battle, where he sacrifices himself to save Rooney from death. Then Rooney will leave the battle to train, and return 7 years later in order to wipe out the enemy
I got a whopping 99! We just barely survived the apocalypse! Coulda been better had everyone helped out (looking at you marshal 👀 thanks for that 0 effort attitude lol) but our two heroic wolves saved the day in the end! (Thanks again Whitney and Wolfgang 🏆)
130 with only 9/10 villagers. Pretty proud of my villagers. I'm gonna have to cook them all some seabass. Hugh - 8 Pietro & Norma - 10 Tom - 12 Judy - 13 Octavian & Sprocket - 18 Rocket - 19 Boone - 22
That moment when a monkey king - a literal legend warrior - and a pyromaniac phoenix with the ability to respawn rank relatively low. That said, my Island score is 117.
Loving these~ So different and creative :2 Funny enough none of my 27 villagers were in the 7 point bundle My points be If we count who I have now: 74.75 (Klaus is still pulling his weight, what a good boy, also positively surprised about Skye, she's so friendly, but yeah she'd probably defend her friends fiercely) If we count my dream island: 134 If we include every villager I have gotten the photo of (because what are friends if they won't rush to you aid?): 336.25
Idea: Ranking villagers by how artsy they are and/or how famous they're likely to be. I run the ACNH Fringe Fest island and all my villagers are chosen based on how much they fit the theme of an arts festival (or the arts in general), whether in name, appearance, or housing. My current residents are: Melba (we launched at Melbourne Fringe last year) Benjamin (art school house) Tutu (ballet name) Kabuki (Japanese theatre name) Sprocket (electronic DJ house) Bitty (fashion boutique house) Katt (garage band house - I made her a zinester) Pietro (circus themed... everything) Mira (theatre house) Deena (music school house) I also had Julian in Pietro's place as the kind of wild card resident tarot reader but he moved out recently. I've kept a meticulous list of villagers that suit the theme, but it'd be interesting to see an algorithm that calculates this. Peppys and Smugs are always going on about being famous popstars or actors, and my Snoots have started talking about being interested in painting (on top of their general fashion interests) which seems to be new to 2.0. There are the villagers themed after known artists & characters (Marlo = Marlon Brando, Marcel = famous mime, Astrid = David Bowie, sorta) and the ones themed after an art form in general (Kabuki and Shino come to mind). Villager housing counts for a LOT, and if you account for HHP preferences, that's a whole other layer. And then there's the hobbies too - music and reading i think would count?
i have gayle on my island, and one time she came up to me and gave me a skeleton. she thought she'd heard i needed one and she went out and got one for me.
So what is your island's total score? Let me know! (If a villager scored less than 0, just subtract one point from your total!)
79.
Well, see y’all I’m dead.

The algorithm suggested this video and I’m hooked. Your style and content reminds me so much of Polygon’s Unravelled series which ended earlier this year. Less chaotic but just as informative and entertaining.
First video I've come across from this channel, and honestly, I did not expect to love it as much as I did. The editing, humor and overall high level of quality made this so much fun to watch. Subscribed, keep up the great content!!
Same here. Imma stick around though, honestly it’s effort for me.
My villagers 'fighting ability' from lowest to highest:
Lucky: 391th (0 points)
Deena: 379th (0 points)
Sprinkle: 281st (6 points)
Shari: 279th (6 points)
Marty: 230th (7 points)
Purrl: 174th (10 points)
Pietro: 151th (11 points)
Shino: 153rd (11 points)
Wolfgang: 35th (22.5 points)
Grizzly: 10th (26 points)
Average rank: 208.3
Total score: 99.5 points
Thank God I just barely scraped the average amount needed
4:29 You know, hamsters are actually decent biters. My old pet hamster did so when I held him/her incorrectly.
Can confirm as I was bitten on the finger by my cousin's hamsters 2 times, and everytime they did my finger bled like crazy
The editing on this is just *chef's kiss*. Maaan, subscribing to this channel was the best decision if my life!
All right, this was even more entertaining than I was expecting. And I’m happy to report that my island scored just above 100 thanks to the presence of three wolves, a jock mandrill, and the kangaroo sensei (with a handful of cannon fodder for support).
I gotta wonder about the special villagers. Isabelle is in Smash, but I get an odd feeling that if pirates invaded, Tom Nook would absolutely throw down
His workers
Vic is one of my favorite villagers, glad to see he’s gonna get some confirmed Viking kills
Del actually just moved in to my island very recently, so it's cool seeing him make the top 3. I guess that makes sense considering how he's based on a Japanese WWII battleship!
The different background musics were beautiful. Just hearing the danganronpa body discovery music while being threatened by Gaston made my day.
It is! Im just trying to figure out what the music is at 11:08
If we actually fought on our islands, I’d definitely protect my favorite villagers just so they don’t get hurt
I love how Backseat puts every song name at the time it starts playing ! you never see this factor in videos so i just wanted to point this out! I also love how Backseat edits the music with what’s happening in the video, for example; at the beginning of the video where he was making a little scenario with danganronpa music and when he says “or just do nothing” the music drops. Very nice detail idk i just noticed this and thought it was cool
Pretty sure the poison dart frog Raddle can at least be a meat shield
Kinda want someone to write an Animal Crossing War AU fanfic now.
this needs to be done, but i don't have the writing skills to do it
haha i gotchu
@@hibiskis tell me when it's done I will read with intent
I'm soooooo doing that
@@hibiskis tell

I don't know if these Animal Crossing videos are adorably dark, or darkly adorable. All I know, is that I'll watch every last one of them.
I’m sorry that this style of content didn’t work out for you. I get why you stopped, for the grind of the prevelent games, but know that we’d like to see you return
He hass a alt look at his about 😊
hey, vesta may be a “lovecraftian void-consuming monster taking the form of [a] sheep” but she’s MY void-consuming monster :)
Great video! although, I would argue that jock, uchi/older sister personality types would be more capable of fighting than snooty and cranky due to the implied age of the latter being elderly and snooty being too classy to be well suited for combat.
I feel like the snoots would have the ethos in the Aristocats of "ladies don't start fights - but they can FINISH THEM"
cranky or older villagers also have more combat experience
Spike being my characters best friend, makes me feel incredibly safe now.
I'm surprised that Chrissy and Francine are 7 points apart, and that Francine is just above the median of fighting ability
Snooty bonus + a black dress instead of a white one is probably why
To answer this: Chrissy is Peppy which loses her three points at step three. But then Francine is Snooty which gains her 4 points, creating a 7 point divide.
I find Francine to be snootier than average for some reason. She sounds really mean in all interactions I had with her
@@bibichillieblue probably just luck. There isn’t really anything in the game that makes certain villagers of a personality meaner. I have her on my island and she’s pretty normal.
@@bibichillieblue well technically,there are two types of every personality type,but that doesn't really make a difference
Now I have to disagree with you on the part about Joey being cannon fodder. You see, Joey is the god of Animal Crossing. He could easily wipe out every species with the blink of an eye. He appears sweet and childish, but that is a farce. If fed enough Spaghetti Carbonera, Joey will reveal who he really is. The results are more shocking than the little info I have put here.
Also I like the part above Coco "The cuddly SCP" That's actually what I think of when i see her
Del is just proof that you just need to find your place, and just because yoh don't fit in one group doesn't mean that there's something wrong with you. Inspiring.
I feel like one of the peppy villagers would win in a fight since they can talk about having 73 pit traps hidden on your island if you talk to them with a shovel lol.
it's a good question, to be sure, but i think any scenario considering the overall chances of an island caught in the grips of a life-or-death scenario has to consider the resident representative-chances are they're packing an axe
I was so excited to see Curt place second. He's my most favorite villager of all time.
I loved this video, Specially the ranking you gave Gruff and what you said of him, he hardly ever gets mentioned, much less the love he deserves, You just gained a new Subscriber
this video and the edibility ranking are the BEST videos on youtube. i cannot WAIT until you make more animal crossing vids 💙
0:21 that danganronpa beat drop was great and came outta nowhere, 3:07 with that body discovery noise to, and 22:53 with the outro
This is a fantastic follow-up to your last Animal Crossing video. I kind of want to cross-reference both lists to see who'd be most likely to survive the island breaking down into a state of chaos.
Without intending it, these lists are kind-of flipped on their heads, with the best scorers of Edibility ranking low for fighting and so on. I wonder if any managed to score high on both... maybe the cows?
@@BackseatYT Turns out it's hard for you to win a fight when the enemy can literally and easily take a bite out of you.
I love seeing more of polygons unhinged style videos now that Brian is running a new series on his channel. He sparked such a great potential in the RUclips video essay community.
i miss these videos :'(
You're really blowing me away with this editing mate 🤩
basically what I've learned from these rating videos is that I most definitely need chadder and vic on my island
*I forget his name alright-*
Ok so, the frog wearing a mask (as I said, I forget his name) should have scored higher.
He could spread his disease (hence the mask wearing) and probably eliminate the enemy from the battlefield. Yet.. he would probably die before he can sneeze on anybody.
Edit : Low key suprised rodeo was my highest scoring villager! Also I remember dressing Cyd in a baby romper and making him look like a weak toddler! I’m scared now-
That'd be Raddle, and he already scored max points for weaponry for this reason! It didn't help much!
@@BackseatYT Ah - okay!
(Ok like I’m actually kind of shocked, you’re one of the rare you tubers that replies to the unpopular / new comments - just like thanks for this stuff!)
I appreciate when people take the concept seriously and engage with it in the comments, it makes it a lot more fun that way! So I’ll always try and reply if I can help answer something!
@@BackseatYT Ok! Again ty!
when you have vic on ur island and he is one of your favorite villagers: *ayeee*
Vic is one of my favs! Only recently got him on my island but I adore him. And now I know he's got a high power level. Nice.
This video was AWESOME I loved it. Mad respect for giving Poncho 10 points,again and I've got Him,Knox and Alfonso so I think I'll be fine.
I'm astonished with the effort put into this video, from the commentary to visuals and villager quips. Extremely well made, had to subscribe.
16:34 Apt assessment, though you seem to have forgotten what happens to the teacher midway through the student's character arc
OH NO, WALT!
He'll be unstoppable until the halfway through the battle, where he sacrifices himself to save Rooney from death. Then Rooney will leave the battle to train, and return 7 years later in order to wipe out the enemy
Yeah, it might make for a negative modifier on Walt’s armor, but a positive for Rooney’s aggression.
I got a whopping 99! We just barely survived the apocalypse! Coulda been better had everyone helped out (looking at you marshal 👀 thanks for that 0 effort attitude lol) but our two heroic wolves saved the day in the end! (Thanks again Whitney and Wolfgang 🏆)
ok no joke im watching this while villager hunting and the island i got to when u announced top 2 had curt and my jaw dropped
130 with only 9/10 villagers. Pretty proud of my villagers. I'm gonna have to cook them all some seabass.
Hugh - 8
Pietro & Norma - 10
Tom - 12
Judy - 13
Octavian & Sprocket - 18
Rocket - 19
Boone - 22
I like pretty much all those villagers listed
Lucky looks like he would summon the power of Jack on his enemies
I knew using the landscaping tools to construct defensive fortifications was a good idea!
Jesus Christ, your editing skills are friggen phenomenal! How do you not have more subs???
That was fun! With 142 I feel like my island is reasonably well protected! ^.^
With a score of 92, I think my village would play out as an exciting shonen anime where the heroes lose in the end and learn a valuable lesson
I got 94 I win this round
I can tell you put a lot of work into this, you're very funny and these sorts of videos always make my day! Thank you! 😊
That moment when a monkey king - a literal legend warrior - and a pyromaniac phoenix with the ability to respawn rank relatively low.
That said, my Island score is 117.
I love how literally three of the five of the villagers on my island manage to score 6 points and the other two are even higher
I straight up remember Cherry talking about wanting to go to a turf war in New Leaf? Lol
I'm shocked at how high Cranston was ranked!! 🥰
this gives off bdg polygon vibes 😂
(lots of work into a useless topic)
without the slow descent into madness
whereas BDG is unfiltered theatre kid energy, this is pure math kid vibes
The descent into madness was the best part
Loving these~ So different and creative :2
Funny enough none of my 27 villagers were in the 7 point bundle
My points be
If we count who I have now: 74.75 (Klaus is still pulling his weight, what a good boy, also positively surprised about Skye, she's so friendly, but yeah she'd probably defend her friends fiercely)
If we count my dream island: 134
If we include every villager I have gotten the photo of (because what are friends if they won't rush to you aid?): 336.25
I got 94 i didn't count my freinds who went away but you beat me with them I think
Idea: Ranking villagers by how artsy they are and/or how famous they're likely to be.
I run the ACNH Fringe Fest island and all my villagers are chosen based on how much they fit the theme of an arts festival (or the arts in general), whether in name, appearance, or housing. My current residents are:
Melba (we launched at Melbourne Fringe last year)
Benjamin (art school house)
Tutu (ballet name)
Kabuki (Japanese theatre name) Sprocket (electronic DJ house)
Bitty (fashion boutique house)
Katt (garage band house - I made her a zinester)
Pietro (circus themed... everything)
Mira (theatre house)
Deena (music school house)
I also had Julian in Pietro's place as the kind of wild card resident tarot reader but he moved out recently.
I've kept a meticulous list of villagers that suit the theme, but it'd be interesting to see an algorithm that calculates this. Peppys and Smugs are always going on about being famous popstars or actors, and my Snoots have started talking about being interested in painting (on top of their general fashion interests) which seems to be new to 2.0. There are the villagers themed after known artists & characters (Marlo = Marlon Brando, Marcel = famous mime, Astrid = David Bowie, sorta) and the ones themed after an art form in general (Kabuki and Shino come to mind). Villager housing counts for a LOT, and if you account for HHP preferences, that's a whole other layer. And then there's the hobbies too - music and reading i think would count?
i have gayle on my island, and one time she came up to me and gave me a skeleton. she thought she'd heard i needed one and she went out and got one for me.
