A good carpenter never blames his vertical mouse.
Huh?
@@swasome5821There's a saying called "a carpenter never blames his tools" which basically means "if you have a skill issue don't blame the tools"
Hahaha
@@swasome5821 woosh
Michael wasn't just rank 1 in random battles a couple times, he held the no.1 spot almost permanently, mostly with a sizeable lead, for an extended period of time. I'd say it was like that for at least 3 weeks prior to the world championship, could be longer, didn't follow him then. There are more knowledgeable people on him, but he seems to win a lot of different tournaments and stuff.
Yeah, if I recall correctly, he won the yearly Smogon Ranbats tournament 5 times... no one else has won it more than twice (?) (going out on a limb here, I don't fully know, and I am a bloke on the internet, someone else can correct me or look it up)
I've watched Freezais random battles to the top series over the last few months, and Michael has been number 1 or number 2 at the top all the time - often with a ridiculous lead to number 2. Might have had the highest ELO I've seen at it, and certainly the highest win ratio.
he had an over 92% gxe last time I checked and basically nobody else is above 90.@@imcoral
you're the dude from the freezai comments lool
@@_Albret yessss good to see you again
still love how michael is insane in singles and now also in vgc
he really is der beste
@@supremechaosbeing2696He really is der Allerbeste, wie keiner vor ihm war
Er will der allllerbeste sein wie keiner vor ihm war. Düm Düm Düm Pokemon! Komm und schnapp sie dir!
12:13 audio repeats for a small portion
In a German interview, Micheal said that they played against each other earlier this year. Micheal already had a similar team and he won both matches by clicking Phantom force. Which is why he assumed that Amonguss wouldn't click Spore into the Dragapult slot this time.
So, Michael was hoping Ryohei would forget what made him win that earlier match?
@@sniderealism2410more like, shohei understand better where Michael's head was at in a 3rd game of rock-paper-scisors
@@sniderealism2410more like Michael expects Sohei to read the phantom force and not spore dragapult
@@Tyufvfv Fair enough. Sohei would be risking wasting a turn by sporing that slot. But at the same time, that Dragapult proved itself to be a threat to Sohei's team before worlds, so I find that risk of wasting a turn to be one worth taking early in the game.
I really like the "old" Wolfey style just recording and talking. The edited essay type of videos are nice but I just love these videos the most
Agreed!! I think the essay type videos are amazingly done and show a lot of work and passion but I think wolfeys content is the most enjoyable when its not so heavily scripted and he just lets his personality shine :) that's just my preference tho, still love all the content
I stopped watching when the production value went up tbh!
I mean he still does this stuff on BonusWolfe
@@ciarzyxL
@@ciarzyxjust watch his bonuswolfe content
It's insane to me as a relative outsider to the scene that a world championship is played in Bo3 when a game can be won on a 27% chance flinch proc.
This is such a fair take- I definitely would like to see Grand Finals at least be a Bo5, especially because of how fast paces VGC doubles are in this format.
@@tweakr4377 In League Of Legends World Championships, every Finals is a Bo5 despite League being basically a deterministic game. They only do Bo5s because it's exciting.
Pokémon is a game where sometimes losses are out of your control. Game 1 in this series was a "30% chance to lose and 70% chance to instantly win" for each game. In a Bo5, Michael wins the series.
I like this format, it is super interesting to me how many ways a turn can go and how it actually went on pro-level matches. I don't know how much editing you plan to do on this kind of videos but a suggestion: make the match screen a bit smaller, just small enough so you can stay on frame without hiding the video. This way we can clearly see you and all the information of the match. On the remaining empty space what you can do a couple of things like list the Pokemons of each player, list the active Pokemons of each one with their moves, habilites and items or just use a wallpaper kind of thing to fill the empty space.
Cheers, I can't wait to see more of these!
Yeah, I wish I could have seen the hp values during the match more.
Michael is an absolute genius. Ive played him in many tiers on pokemon showdown in high ladder and he always plays damn near perfectly. Hes one of the few people I've always felt was "In my head". One of the greatest to ever touch this game.
Its a shame to see such a unique take on trick room not win. I never saw amoongus being as dominant as it was ever.
I never want to see amoonguss being as dominant as it is again.
@@nugget9214 he's a smooth criminal
@@nugget9214I hope this reminds Gamefreak to change sleep and freeze for Gen 10
Crazy that that’s his first year doing VGC too he’s a smogon guy

Begging..
why isn't the finale decided by a best of 5 instead? it's too fast of a match to decide the winner in my opinion.
Especially considering game 1 came down to a 27% chance flinch proc.
I think this would be a good idea. Especially since in this case Michael had a better record than Shohei, yeah? 6/1/0 to 5/2/0? So if this match is supposed to matter more than the rest of the matches, by enough to decide the overall winner, then imo it makes sense that this match would be the biggest one, aka best of 5.
Its a lot easier to build a team for Bo3 than Bo5.
they were in the grand finale tho@@SamoIsKing
@@SamoIsKing What does that mean? What's the difference?
I didn't even know Michael was a vgc finalist wtf... I already respected him a ton for being amazing at basically every singles format ever. actual irl pokemon master
I hope Mr youtubism's wrist is feeling better - the intro was pretty peak today tbh. It was passionate, artistic, and full of earnest integrity.
I really, really like and appreciate this video. It's super helpful to know the options and what people are thinking. It's hard for me to think about what my opponent might do and usually I spin my own head in circles and pick the wrong choice. Thanks for your time and effort!
Evaluate the seniors division finals. The winners team was so different!!
Gonna need to Patreon for that rec!
Senior was so much more fun and interesting. This was just a stomp of a game where the meta showed how busted it was.
Is it only for people 65 and over?
As is generally the case when the Masters Division over centralizes on one team archetype.
As funny as that would be, no. The Seniors division is for teens if I remember correctly.
The REAL YOUTUBIST returns to the main channel baby!
how did the bonus wolfe guy get onto wolfeyvgc’s channel? did wolfey get hacked?
We know you can win world championships next year Wolfey
thanks egghead1229!😀
Its called having friends@@supremeheroism7524
@@supremeheroism7524yo and I bet you’re also a top tier competitive Pokémon player then
@@supremeheroism7524 just because wolfey didn't win Worlds, one of the hardest pokemon competitions, doesn't mean he's a bad player. he's placed very well in other large tournaments, and is one of the best VGC players in the world.
@@stofez5625you don't need to be a chef to be able to see that food is raw, or a carpenter to tell that the chair is shoddily made. it's a courtier's reply fallacy and it just makes you look desperate to say something back at somebody.
Michael being on finals is so surreal. I only know him from freezai‘s freedom cup, which he won. He won 2 playoff games bc his opponents failed to show up on time and he refused to reschedule so he took the free wins so I thought, he was a scrub. Then I saw him winning other stuff and thought dude is strong. Seeing him 1 month later on VGC WC finals is wild
Nothing wrong with taking activity wins when your opponent refuses to play. Obviously it's better for the tournament if games are actually played, but 15 minutes is *plenty* of time to show up to an online thing which you scheduled in advance. Show up to your damn games when you say you will and you don't lose on activity.
no cause when u schedule something u should be expected to show up otherwise ur wasting time for all ppl involved, rescheduling just lets that behavior get rewarded
That Charlie Brown reference was so on point!
Watching Michael play, I kept thinking about Alex Gomez’s Dragapult-Chien Pao combo that won him NAIC. What made that special was that Alex would always switch in Chien Pao next to Pult on the turn Dragapult would go for the Tera Blas, taking advantage of that unexpected defense drop. Ball was always in his court, not the other way around.
Still an impressive showing from Michael. Who knows what would have happened if Rillaboom didn’t flinch in game 1 😮
that game 1 flinch is sooooo brutal
great insights! you often formulate your thoughts and convey things very clearly, i like it
A real youtubeist intro on the main channel after all these years, im in tears
Hope you can become the world champion next year!
Intro is once again a banger 🙏
Saw the old intro and immediately thought this was BonusWolfe 😂 still watching either way
Love you Wolfe 🙏🏽❤️ always supporting you in your corner bro, next year is gonna be your year to regain the title of world champion difference 😤
You really analysed it well!
Nice to see old style videos together with the high edited ones, it is a nice mix
nooo you have to do the intro! even if it's bad. don't let us down wolfey!
I'm so happy to have the real youtubist intro back on wolfeyvgc
Love the videos, I've now gone back to back master tier thanks to your videos
12:10-12:30 around here there's an audio issue where you replay audio from earlier, just letting you know
wish you did a video explaing team choices and your specific plays in the championship like youve done for other tournaments. plus a vid on the new mons in the meta would be fun
I'm glad you have good video production these days, but I love your off-the-cuff personality of these more improvised videos.
15 min of vid and still on turn 1, you love to see it. Insane analysis
A note about the “just trusting a sucker punch mind game in the world final” is the threat of farigiraf switching in with Armor Tail. Still a crazy call tho
Vertical mice is great! I suggest using different mice to use different muscles in your arm to hilp with pains.
I gotta say no other competetive vgc content hits like Wolfey's! Tried watching other creators but I always enjoy your videos.
If Rillaboom still had grassy glide, this set would've been different, but I guess at the same time the meta would be different
Wrong channel?
Think so
Idk
BonusWolfe is taking over the main channel
Tbh I don't think anyone minds lol
Thx for this Video. Really enjoyed the Set. Amoongus was brutal
this kinda top level on top level analysis is fascinating there's just endless levels to every decision n mindgame
Was there an editing glitch when the first game started? Feels like the rerecorded and original made it in since the same things were said twice with some corrections
next up ya got to watch the match between kaito ari and kenji yabata. That game was INSANE
Hearing Wolfey say Malmö was so funny for me 🤣
Is it just for me or the audio at around 12:15 switches with some audio from before?
I’ve hit top 500 random battle for every generation from 4-8, what you said about Michael inspired me to try for Gen 9
That flinch. My gosh what a flinch.
That flinch hurt so bad to watch
12:13 that absolutely messed with my head for a little bit xD
10/10 intro by the way
I love the vertical mouse intros 🤣🤣
So glad the real youtubists intro is back
Idk where all this Wolfey Content is coming from so fast but I am not complaining at all keep.up the great work Wolfey 🤘
@ 28:50 - I think he expected Farigiraf to switch out after being put to sleep and wanted to see if he could finish the Rillaboom with the more reliable Sucker Punch
yo wolfe i think it would be intresting if you talked about the late format change in retrospect. idk if it would fill a video length tho
This kind wideo makes me so happy
Would love if you added some periodic viewer battles in one of the patreon tiers.
Alpha Wolfey came back from Japan with the wideos!
This is Awesome 🥳
There's some audio issue around the 12 minute mark
Anyone else notice the audio mistake at 12:12? I'm wondering if there's a purpose to this or it was just a simple mistake
Regardless of that, amazing commentary about an amazing set. Great job as always
14:40 that sleeping animation popping up between dragon darts just sums up these pokemon games beautifully.
Right? I thought his feed had glitched or something
love the videos Wolfey
the goat vid format is back
What happened at 25:25, the game showing the same player character on both sides.
I don’t really know a lot about vgc but I’m surprised to see there’s no sleep clause
You should put your cam on the left side so we can see HP
The bonus Wolfe intros recently are so bad they creeped into the main channel
12:10 The audio cuts out @WolfeyVGC
Steam is coming out of my ears as I rewind parts over and over to understand the scope of analysis here
It's not likz he's reached the randbats ladder number one at least a couple times. He's regularly first by a margin of 100 points on second or third place. I've faced the man and not only does he play very well in general but he knows who he's facing and reads you like an open book
How did we just get a 1 hour live wideo 😢
OMFG THE REAL RUclips THING CAME BACK!!!!! WOOOOOO
14:40 why did dragopult get sleep particles while it was attacking??
Mousehold really giving him trouble.
I'm 20 seconds into the video. Best intro ever.
12:12 is the audio wrong for anyone else here? He said this part already, earlier in the video... if some observation needed to be cut you could just cut forward idk
LET'S GO BONUSWOLFE TOOK OVER WOLFEYVGC!!!!!!!
I still hope for a Top 10 New/Returning Pokemon from Pokemon Home video
Was this supposed to be a bonus wolfe video?
These intros are getting better 😂
the audio starting ~12:15 is repeating earlier content
12:12 I think the audio unsyncs for a bit here.
Can he react to the Junior and Senior division worlds finals?
Vertical mouse moment
audio messed up at 12:00 ?
Gaming too hard is super relatable. Nearly gave myself a thumb blister binging Splatoon2 at one point because of spamming the quadruple dodge-rolls
best intro yet
How are you today Wolfey
Minor frustration from the camera position. We couldnt see the health of one of the pokemon
That arena is unique is it exclusive for worlds or is it new/rare?
0:02 Spoken like a true gamer
0:24 When you lose to Maushold+Annihilape on ladder
real youtubist intro back on main channel????
BonusWolfe has taken over
I got to 13k masterball with my same non meta team every season i get closer n closer to givin regional a chance might b fun
