I believe technoblade has also used that quote. Great minds think alike!
Hey a technoblade quote

Guys technoblade made a reference he didn't make the quote

I like how ant revealed his plan like an anime plot
Lol

I was wondering why his plans hadn’t been spoiled by chat, didn’t realize they were on emote only. That’s brilliant.
The reason was also because they did two rounds before this and chat kept spoiling eachother's location in the first one and in the second, CJ got smant chat to fill it up with nonsense so emote made it fair

@@gilangalgifariii that's my favourite chrysalis character nice
you can still post text if you put it with bits.. it can take as little as about a cent depending on channel minimum (I think there was a minimum on Smallant at the time of this video) it's currently 5 bits as of me writing this, idk what it was at the time.. but I'm surprised more people don't do that.. it's like 5 cents to spoil something
well, people do and mods quickly delete it.. but surprised it doesn't happen more often
well, I guess in this case it'd be CJ's chat you'd need to post in
@@RainboomDash not sure if they were reading bits for this very reason, and also if someone is willing to donate money there's a higher likelihood that they know ratting out the other streamer would be looked down on

And then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of EVERY SINGLE ONE!

There's always a guy who's gonna look up a relevant Art of war quote anytime someone mentions "strategy" in a video.
Just always one guy.
I mean that quote isn't even true. War is based on overpowering the opponent, deception is only necessary when the opponent is either equal or more powerful.

i’ve watched several of these VODs with bingo/races of other kinds and what i’ve noticed every time is that while cj i think is more technically proficient at the game, Ant’s ability to quickly and dynamically both build and then adjust his route is what makes him stand out from other runners, and what makes him very hard to beat. this is why he beats crow at botw and linkus at mc lockouts. they’re both better at those games than ant, but can’t keep up with his understanding of the flow of speed running and his ability to run circles around them strategically. he’s too giga brain
mentally keeping track of how many parts you've done when a tile takes 3,4,5, etc. takes some brain power, too, and Smant is just a little better at keeping track of it all.
As he's shown with his blindfolded runs, Ant's real skill that distinguishes him from other runners is being able to keep the whole virtual playspace in his head and make decisions based on that.
It's like he mentioned in one of the Pokemon runs, that he played it all the time in class but could still totally focus on the lesson as well.
@@Lorddragonfang dude that’s exactly what i was trying to say thank you for explaining it properly 😂
ya cj has better skill but ant has 300iq
You don't need to be better to succeed. Just be ruthless and vicious. Like a small ant.
Don’t forget to be a god at lying
I like the space in his name
More like smart ant
I mean he just strategized better
Smallant is better at this type of playing though. This isn't speedrun, it's capture objective.
The amount of subtle manipulation from SmallAnt is borderline sociopathic and I love it. Good job, you deserved that win!

I think what impresses me the most about smallant is his ability to handle both timed speed running events and day-long grindy nuzlockes. He exists in both attention extremes and it’s awe inspiring
Nah, pretty sure they're both huge grinds.
@@trycethomas939 They never said that cj wasn’t those things, they were just giving smallant a compliment (this is his channel after all)
@@Thesoga0820 You misunderstand, I didn't mean both Smallant and Cjya both do huge grinds, I meant speed running and day-long nuzlockes both take huge amounts of time even though speed runs goal is to do it as fast as possible, you have to spend a bunch of time looking at the same details over and over. So it was inaccurate to say that smallant exists in both attention extremes because it's all just long grindy, relatively boring material he sifts through. The opposite of that would look something like high level strategy games where it takes an evolving perspective and in the moment snap decision making. I've seen evidence that smallant has a compatibility for that type of thing because of the versus speedruns he does, how he changes strategy to match his opponents actions. However that has nothing to do with the actual speed runs which are nothing if not a grind.

Idk if I'll ever stop admiring Smant's crazy knack for lockouts. It's like his brain's got dynamic pathfinding software installed, and it just tells him what the current most efficient route is at all times.
