Realistic graphics? Huge player rosters? State of the art sound and field design? Get out of my face with that shit, this is the best baseball game ever made.
For context... This is a Japanese baseball game called 98Koshien. It has the feature of allowing players to create their own pitching animations. This is what happens when you want your opponent to go insane.
You know, I might watch baseball in real life if I could expect this sort of thing. "Looks like he's winding up for his next pitch...oh, the cartwheel-to-somersault-360-headstand-to-tuck-and-roll, very unexpected."
"BALK! THAT'S GOTTA BE A BALK UMP" "There isn't any rule specifically against demon possession, I have to allow them to play and use the pitching motion most natural to them." "AWWW COMON, there needs to be a rule then!" *kicks dirt as the pitchers head spins like a helicopter behind them*
Sometimes, words are not enough. Thank you, Tv Tropes, for giving me one more thing to add to my arsenal of true humor. Time to begin conquesting through my family and friends with this sword of laughter.
@@simonrafferty1603 This video was linked on some TvTropes page... I don't remember which one lol. It's been long enough that it could also have been removed, though personally I doubt it. Probably something game physics related.
The year is 2098. The High School Baseball League has made a momentous decision. "Abolish the balk." That decision, made to respect the creativity of high school ballplayers turned Koshien into a magical place.
Sweet Jesus tapdancing Christ. This God damned video made me laugh so hard I fucking threw out my neck. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD YOU HAVE TO LAUGH TO ACTUALLY PULL SOMETHING FROM DOING IT YEAH IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY HARD BUT I DID IT
I used to know a girl who said, "Sweet tapdancing Jesus", which really delighted me for being so random; so you get a Like for pulling up a good memory for me!

Not sure what this machinima viewership is coming from, but welcome to all of you finally discovering one of the greatest videos ever. I usually watch this once a week or so. Come for the silly pitches, replay for that awesome Rivals song.
All perfectly legal moves for baseball. The Swastika, the self-crotch eater, the beached fish, the riger mortis cartwheel, the kung fu fighter, the awesome dance, the helicopter, the Possessed-by-satan, the Transform-and-roll-out. all perfectly legal.
*Dances furiously on the mound. Spins, twirls, flips backwards, rotates all body parts in directions no human can*....Walks every batter on ball counts. Oh Japan, no more cocaine for you!
I'm super nostalgic for this vid. Does anyone have the one article that linked this vid in it? It was like "10 Times Customisation Went Too Far" or something like.
WTF!!! That is the most hilarious baseball video I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂⚾ Also I would buy an old school computer from Japan on ebay just to play this amazing game

+Red Dragon yeah, that's the description of the video.

Some people don't read the descriptions.
I am here for them.
12 years later, this is still one of the best videos on youtube
Correct

+Mostlyharmless1985 10/10
You spelled "come on" wrong.
@@hyliadreamer no I didn’t because that’s how a salty manager would talk. Thank you for adding absolutely nothing to a 6 year old comment.
would these pitchers adapt to the pitch clock?
All animations aside, though.... that is one sick ass song.
How can frachises like Fifa and Madden still sell millions of copies every year without features like this?!
Screw realism.
Frostbite isn't _that_ realistic tbh... at some points it's just like this, except with ragdoll physics.
1:09 The Spinning Swastika Pitch! How legendary!
Fun fact this is how Nazis sleep
Sometimes, words are not enough. Thank you, Tv Tropes, for giving me one more thing to add to my arsenal of true humor. Time to begin conquesting through my family and friends with this sword of laughter.
What does Tv Tropes have to do with it? Genuine question, I tried googling!
@@simonrafferty1603 This video was linked on some TvTropes page... I don't remember which one lol. It's been long enough that it could also have been removed, though personally I doubt it. Probably something game physics related.
It's under 'Confusion Fu': Deliberately doing things like... This... To defeat your opponent.
Hey, I think TV Tropes is how I found this video, myself! :D
This is the single greatest thing I've seen this year. Infinite nobel peace prizes. My sides have exploded.
i absolutely lost it on this.. funniest 3minutes of my day.. tears running down my face lol
The spinning swastika killed me xD
1:06 has got me all 3 times i have watched it now lol
Lok-Tin Young I'm pretty sure that's a spinning Cactaur.
1:04 You'll need to be more fuckin' limber than water itself to pull this off.
OHOHO I UNDERSTAND YOUR JOKE. OH I DO!
Mintjam - Rival. What a song!
The year is 2098.
The High School Baseball League has made a momentous decision.
"Abolish the balk."
That decision, made to respect the creativity of high school ballplayers turned Koshien into a magical place.
If only Baseball was this entertaining!
I'll never get sick of this video
I love a good, realistic baseball simulation.
That spinning swastika pitch at 1:11
My sides hurt.
Cactuar. One arm up one arm down.
"America's favourite pitcher has been banned indefinitely after transforming into a highly offensive symbol during a match"
So this is what caused the 3rd Impact
Sweet Jesus tapdancing Christ. This God damned video made me laugh so hard I fucking threw out my neck.

Thank you tvtropes for giving me another thing to laugh and smile about and share
2024, and this is still a CLASSIC
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the elusive art of _confusion fu._
this baseball game has caused my pubic hair to go super saiyan
This is my favourite video on youtube.
1:04 broke my brain.
The song is called "Rival" by MintJam for anybody who wanted to know after 12 years
I'm so glad I remembered this video. Thank you Japan for making this masterpiece of a game.
Gotta love the Japanese!
This was beautiful. Clearly the best sports game ever made.
This is what real baseball players should do.
The song is "Rival" by Mintjam. I doubt they'd use it in the game but it goes pretty well
This is why I will never play sports in Japan.
This never gets old.
11 years from when you made this comment, this video still doesn't get old.
@@Pieman6711 Yooooooo
@@spiderplant lmfao I'm surprised you replied. I hope you enjoyed this video again lol
If modern baseball games had this sort of customization awesomeness, I might be convinced to actually play one of them.
best...Game...EVER 10/10
1:04 is good but 1:06 is the best; he literally gives birth to a cutter.
I'm partial to the 'human swastika cartwheel' at 1:08 myself.
Not sure what this machinima viewership is coming from, but welcome to all of you finally discovering one of the greatest videos ever. I usually watch this once a week or so.
Come for the silly pitches, replay for that awesome Rivals song.
They watched too much anime while trying to practice. Those moves are to catch opponents off guard while pitching.
...I wasn't ready for this...
I'm crying with laughter, this is the best video ever made.
Arigato japan u made my day again :D
I would watch baseball if it was like that. Good music by the way
It'd Still Be Boring As Hell
Have I ever mentioned Japan is weird?
I've been looking for this game, now I can have some fun
11/10 would buy again
Words cannot express how much win this game contains.
Fucking....
B-E-A-U-tifull!
Is that a Bruce Almighty reference? Lol
You see this all the time in baseball. If you bounce around like someone having a seizure on speed, they'll never know where or when the ball flies.
In case anyone's wondering, the song name is "Rival" by MintJam
one of the best machinima's I've ever seen
This is some Katamari levels of weird and I LOVE IT!
This is the greatest game related video ever.
This is one of those few videos where I pissed off my neighbors from laughing so hard
All perfectly legal moves for baseball. The Swastika, the self-crotch eater, the beached fish, the riger mortis cartwheel, the kung fu fighter, the awesome dance, the helicopter, the Possessed-by-satan, the Transform-and-roll-out. all perfectly legal.
Forget making my day... this just made my life.
I have no idea wtf I just watched.
But whatever it was, it was GLORIOUS.
It's amazing how well this song goes with the song 'Push it to the Limit'
One of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
1:04 Lol I'm done!
@retromancer
understatement of the century
This is fantastic.
It's like Ben drowned plus baseball.
Back again. This video makes me so glad that the Japanese love baseball!
This is the most beautiful thing I ever seen.
*Dances furiously on the mound. Spins, twirls, flips backwards, rotates all body parts in directions no human can*....Walks every batter on ball counts. Oh Japan, no more cocaine for you!
best video on youtube!
best realistic simulation of baseball I have seen in my life.
I laughed so hard I almost ovulated. And I'm a guy!
I'm super nostalgic for this vid.
Does anyone have the one article that linked this vid in it?
It was like "10 Times Customisation Went Too Far" or something like.
Oh Japan, what would the world be without you?
I hope you never change.
I love them. I just friggin' love the Japanese!
Hello from the future.
Dam, I wish I had owned this game. Its looks beyond epic.
OMFG!!!!! BEST OPENING CREDITS EVAR!!!!! XD
Rival by Mintjam!
After weeks of searching, someone finally told me
I'd like to this this is how they actually play Baseball in Japan.
Gentlemen, God-like epicness's level has been reached by Japan !
I haven't laughed so hard in a very long time. Thank you so much.
1:55 rare footage of the Tetrisman in action ! Followed by the dancing troll !
OMGGG
This is now AiE's Official Game. Feelin the LOVE
Vsauce got me here, lol! Best pitching i've ever seen.
I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Brilliant video
WTF!!! That is the most hilarious baseball video I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂⚾
Also I would buy an old school computer from Japan on ebay just to play this amazing game
we need moar games like this!
God bless you con1987. This video brought me to tears, and i almost got a concussion after falling off my seat.
I'm sure that if I play this game I will lose because I can't stop laughing
Stupid question but I had a problem with my memory few weeks ago, What is the name of the music please???
the song is Mintjam- Rival
thanks!!!
If all baseball games were like this i'd go to them a lot more.
there are no words to tryly describe this
So... Umm... Do Japanese folks look at this think "yup, just your average baseball game", or do they admit that this is pretty fucking weird?
1:14 oh my god it’s raygun
i completely lost it at 1:57. i laughed way too much at that pose
There is such a thing as giving the players too much power.
Anime is one hell of a drug
What has science done? Reached its pinnacle, that's what. I come back to this video for restoring hope in humanity.
I... I think I'm in the weird part of the internet again. D:
Well, it looks like that's it. We can all stop looking for the best thing ever now. It's right here.
If baseball were like this in real life, I'd actually consider watching!🤣
Dude, I'm in tears right now
Still better than the latest Konami football game. And less glitchy too
