@@jabekens i think 5up often doesnt understand the complicated outcomes of each role and their power. its too much for him sometimes. he was good in vanilla and as normal imposter.
@Namhamburg14 I remember liking his videos in the vanilla era because he was good as an imposter. Usually trying new strats and narrating his plan. As a crewmate - especially this year - his reads have been so bad. But he's so sure of himself. It's kinda cringe, but at the same time, I'm getting way more information than he is. So who knows.

Yeah, I remember when Among us started to be a thing 5up was the Goat, and maybe he still is in Vanilla but not Morning lobbies, maybe he plays more relaxed, or don't care too much about modded, I don't know. But I also want to say that sometimes viewers (at least here) are so harsh on him and doesn't seem fair to me. For example, if 5up throws a game everyone complains but if Steve throws, everyone laughs and think is funny.
@@Namhamburg14 that excuse doesn't even work though, he cleared Kara and Ovilee in round 2 for 0 reason and with 0 role info consideration when they were both claiming lab without confirmation
Yeah 5up definitely got a lot worse somehow. I definitely used to have him near the top with hafu and dumbdog. But in the last year he just seems to be consistently wrong.
Crazy how DK got survivor. Dumbdog died as executioner and DK took his role (Dumbdog then became survivor). Then Skadj- the exe target- dies, and DK becomes amnesiac (since his exe target is the same as Dumbdog's). DK, as amnesiac, takes Dumbdog's role again and becomes survivor. One in a million chance tho.
2:35 bruuu we knooow I personally find it more fun when crewmates can hard clear each other with scanner, it's like one of the only rushes of dopamine you can get as crewmate, being able to hard clear someone. plus it isn't even a hard clear for the whole game cause they could be amnesiac, and that interaction is the best one amnesiacs can have
Parallel Medscans take away from Amnesiac being hard cleared and then picking up a bad role later. Id be ok with Parallel Medscans in other lobbies, but not this one. It already skews to the Impostor.
I think as a whole enabling Parallel Medscans buffs Impostors - Buff: stops MedBay hard clears which happens in a lot of games - Nerf: stops the super rare Amnesiac picks up evil killer role hard clear Crew win 50% of all games, impostors around 20% of the time in the morning lobby, so up to the audience if that means “Morning Lobby skews to the Impostor”
@@AmongUsAcademy meh. They don't really abuse the medbay clears like what used to happen back in the day with a chain clear. They made a house rule to prevent excessive medbay clears, so that helped nerf it. But I guess it still does accidentally happen from time to time when everyone clumps to medbay. Though, I like the medbay clear because it's one of the only ways a vanilla crew can for sure know another person is good. It's usually only 1 person that has that info and most of the time either they or the person they cleared dies anyway. Even in this game, Janet and aipha were still arguing a bit at the end despite them medscanning together
Dang, DK, you silly goose! As Amnesiac, you picked up DumbDog's role of Executioner, Skadj died and you became Amnesiac again, and you picked up DumbDog's role again, making you the living Survivor!
@@declaracionespolemicas I recall seeing one game where the Amnesiac remembered the role of another Amnesiac, didn't realize they successfully picked up the role, and, thinking they had clicked inaccurately or too early, remembered the role of the same player again, unfortunately became the living Survivor through no fault of their own. Either that or they were rapidly clicking as they approached where the arrow was pointing and didn't have the reaction time to stop clicking after successfully remembering the first time. Either way, this could probably be solved by adding a two-second delay to the remember action.
theres nothing wrong with 1-2 hardclears by med bay. Crew should have clues too and not just always rely on process of elimitation by location assuming.
aipha: i saw two of dk running around and one killed, dk isn’t the imposter dk: vote me guys, i’m the amnesiac and i got a stupid fucking role 5up: dk is bad ??? i’m so confused at how 5up even arrived to this conclusion 😭😭 i would’ve thought dk was playing a poor jester or maybe got tracked off of amnesiac or something. 5up tunnel-visioned hard here LOL
Nope, not for parallel medscan I am for them playing however the hell they have the most fun... and I personally am running outta tolerance for the "one of us" side comments........
I don't think its as big of an issue as some make it out to be you just cant leave two people who cleared each other in the final 4 like what happened. I always feel like medbay scan clears should put a MASSIVE target on someone's back. If we're gonna pick it apart a bit than you just cant leave hard clears alive. Worst case scenario you have two crew who are hard cleared for the rest of the game or even worse case you get an amnesiac into bad role whos hard cleared and will never be voted out over you like what DumbDog did with Janet in the past.
man remember when 5up used to be good at this game? Guy's continuing to fall off, not only does he just blindly believe and accept clears he also tunnels so hard on DK despite clear evidence that clears him from being a killer.
I wish there was an option/way to let the person who you medic shielded know they were attacked. Not anything instantly, maybe you could press some button and they would know when the meeting is over or next meeting even.
As much as i support parallel medbay scans, i also think that in a game with so many complex roles a hard clear is nice every once in a while. I don't like optimal right side players all bunching up on medbay immediately though. I am really a fan of vitals in labs though, that spreads out the three check-in mechanics properly.
hell no, stop pushing to nerf this lobby's ability to deduce things. they already have enough trolling and people who act like logical bonk-bonks (aka comedic relief) more than half the time. it's fine to let SOME things be deducible. they already only have like 45-50% understanding of the roles as it is...at best. they need SOME way to concretely know something from time to time. plus, they cleared each other way early on, and so they then become targets for all other rounds. plenty of counterplay options. not to mention steve could've easily killed and if he did, Aipha would've had to speak for Janet on his own behalf in the last round and lost credibility, since people have such short-term memories and are so prone to being gaslit by good RP in later rounds anyway. impostors could've easily killed Janet too. I say stop pushing to nerf everything before they even properly learn the roles and associated tells / counterplay solidly. there are so many strategies to outplay or RP it that are possible if they would commit to learning them instead of resorting to balance whine. it'll be just fine.
It’s a bit tiring to watch when every scenario you can, you push the agenda. I don’t even have an opinion on the situ, but just feels like it washes over the good editing/video as it’s a bit repetitive from a viewing perspective
@@DatInfraOrdinaryGuy I agree completely. They have made a point already to state that they are aware of these settings and are choosing to not use them.
junk totally could've won at the end by just voting alpha, waiting for ovilee to kill Janet, and then hard vouching for ovilee and pushing aipha, which would cause him to vote him off
Why would hard vouching for Ovilee be enough for Aipha to vote Junk instead of the clear killer? He knows for a fact it can't be Junk since he was at the reactor when he found Steve's body. If Junk did that he would be throwing the game for impostor to win, because Ovilee would easily realize he's jester and guess him, OR she would vote for Aipha, make it a tie, call reactor and win anyways.
DumbDog should honestly just add Survivor as a permanent role. It comes up so often nowadays. Also, I like how Bait still hasn't given up on parallel medbay scans even though DumbDog will never turn on that setting.
Survivor's kit and win condition is kind of lame though... They have blanks, and all they have to do is to be alive when the game ends. It's better to have it as a rare role that nobody takes seriously.
Yeah 100% they should incude parallel med scans. I also think there should be rules with blackmailer. Its unfair that in time a vote can be cast by blackmailed crew then the rest of the crew go for a skip to see who was voted. They are blakmailed, only information you should get from them is if a meeting is called next round. Thanks for the content
@@CottidaeSEA It would be awkward if it was 3 crew and 2 imposters in the final five if so. If one crew is blackmailed and can't vote, imposters can force a draw on the vote and then double kill for win.
it doesn't work like that. your potential situation is based on the assumption that EVERY person will actually skip, but half of the crew aren't actually Crew roles. there's nothing that's stopping Impostors from voting someone else to throw that plan, Jester from voting themself, Exe from voting their target. that plan had never EVER worked.
Not like he would’ve won. He had zero sus and even if he somehow managed to get sussed, janet and aipha had already voted kinda early on so it wouldn’t matter
@cl-jp3uv he just votes with ovilee, she kills another and anything can happen.. and even if he cant win, the game would break if everyone would just randomly start playing against their objective
@@stardustie no, then Ovilee wins... she is not going to kill or vote for Junk, she is going to try to kill Aipha, and realize there is a Medic who definitely has to be Janet, or she is going to successfully kill Janet, and shoots Junk as Jester to win. (See Ellum's obnoxious plaguebearer win against 5up and DD... the game that actually made Hafu tilted) It's a unspoken rule in this lobby, Jester votes with town when there is no sus on them, imposters sabotages for neutral to prevent the button... it is just to keep the game fun for everyone...
