Im an amazing crewmate, so i speedrun tasks and can catch impos easily. BUT when im inpo im to scared to fake tasks. Me not doing tasks = me being the impo. Also im to scared to kill lol.
The thing with being good at one side makes your other side worse. I'm way too good at crewmate so I have to constantly change my imp game. Pikmin 4 (Altrive, he's on a bunch of Alpharad vids) is a good example of someone who's good at imp (surprisingly) simply because everything he does even as a crewmate is sus
crewmate is still fun, racing to do all your tasks, but after a while, with all the toxic people on there, maybe it'll feel good to get impostor some times
Unless you're up against Disguised Toast or Corpse who are like impossible to deal with no matter how many times people watch them or even figure out all their techniques.

I was about to say... What if Fall Guys are the ancestors of Among Us? In previous theories, MatPat said that the people in Among Us were probably specially bred for those missions. Well, if that’s true, wouldn’t it make sense to put the breeding pool through a series of obstacles and challenges to make them stronger, faster, and more athletic? Put them through difficult races to see who the best of the best are so you know who is ready to help create the perfect species for the job, and who needs more training? I mean, they even look similar, but there are obvious changes. For example, the Among Us people have floating hands, while Fall Guys have arms. This could be a part of evolution. I don’t think Fall Guys are very closely related to the jelly beans in Among Us, but they are likely ancestors.But hey, that’s just a theory! A Game Theory! (I always wanted to say that)
Impostor red: "I was with yellow" Impostor yellow: "I was with red" Matt's expectation: "Well it can't be them because they were together" Reality: "Alright, it's red and yellow"
If that were the only thing you did then sure, combined with all the other factors he explained and you might have a winning strategy, though nothing's foolproof, especially with this video hitting 6,5 mil and counting. Things just got existing, thanks MatPat! Now I have to play this game
When im imposter i do is having trust to somebody so when comes down to three people and were acusing each other the person that trust me is knowing that im crewmate. i even do my own sabotage to clear me
I mean it really depends. I almost exclusively play randoms. Some act like the 13 yo boys they are and sometimes there’s very complex situations happening.
negative, because according to game theory, if you arbitrarily vote a person out each time, you will more often be voting out an innocent matpat instead of killer matpat.
He's going to be crew more often than imposter, so he'll be helping crew more than hurting them. Since you want to remove a net benefit for the crew, you must be the imposter.
go meta and when the lights are cut, it's him. When he's talking trash, it's him. Then go meta meta because he knows you think he will do that so he wont do that. Then go meta meta meta.... i give up
My recommendations to identify a Imposter: - Doesn't talk much - Walks around more than others - Tries to split off if in a group - Doesn't vote for anyone when there's 2 Imposters and 6 Players left - Says he is the Imposter (if he isn't, he's a troll and you should kick him, if he is, he wants to take your attention away from a suspect, the other Imposter) - Finds 3 or more bodies in a row - Runs after you constantly far too close - Is in a Room where Vents lead to from the Crimescene - Spends his (usually) one Emergeny Meeting for giggles
Not talking much doesnt mean anything is they always arent that talkative, even as a crewmate. I actually do a lot of these as a crewmate and I dont get voted out. A way to find if someone is an impostor is if they stand still when there's a sabotage and starts walking after it started, or walks away from a task when the bar doesnt go up.
when you are the imposter, the trick is to say who you think is innocent, not who you think is guilty, when people are the imposter they try so hard to prove that they are not the imposter and start blaming other people and asking too many questions. if you say who you think is innocent, you gain peoples trust and it makes you seem more humane, as you appear to be trying to figure out the case but you appear to not yet know who it is.
What's awesome about this video compared to the typical Among Us guide is that it not only tells you what you should be doing as Imposter, but how you should be thinking about the game and how to approach it. I was so confused as a newbie for like 20-30 hours of played time, but then things started to click and I started to win more consistently. Thanks so much GT!
“Stay with your impostor mates, they’re your built in alibi.” My impostor buddy who ratted me out when no one else saw, I’m 4 parallel universes ahead of you
@Chandy Alexander my strategy is usually skip voting if there's some crew mates that find your teammate suspicious but they still have chance to not get ejected. but if everyone knows there the impostor or you can estimate that there not surviving the meeting and whether you vote for them or not vote them there getting ejected anyway,that's when you usually vote for them since there skrewed any way , and to not look sus .sorry for this long comment
"It's about controlling the flow of information" "By spreading miss information, as well as limiting the access to it" Hits weirdly hard now-a-days ngl
Nowadays? Psh, it's been relevant for years. I mean, possibly since the beginning of civilization, but as far as modern knowledge goes, the currently-held perceptions have been molded over multiple decades.
1:57 I just want to say I just realized how great the editing on this channel is. Like, I've always appreciated the editing, but right here, where he says "long story short," and the video is stretched, then crushed, and the three portions of screen are used to frame his next 3 points, that's just good editing and I hope whoever does that is getting paid enough
Nonsense again INSTEAD OF A MINECRAFT LORE THEORY?!?! DAMMIT!! Heck - maybe it's even Time for a HYTALE THEORY, isnt it?! Like, this channel never had one!!
For sabotage: I’ve gone to secuirty before to see where people were. If I saw a bunch of people on the right side, I pull reactor because that’s on the left and harder to get to. If there’s a lot of people on the left side, I pull 02 because that’s on the right side and harder to get to. I’ve won using this.
I was playing among us with randoms, and three of us started sticking together. We would watch each other do a task, and once we had all proven our innocence we watched everyone else. The killers couldn’t touch us since there were three of us, so they killed off everyone else in the game. Leaving only the killers and us, we vote them out and win. It worked every single round except once when one of the trio was the imposter and tricked the rest of us. It was the most fun I’ve ever had in among us, and I wasn’t even the imposter
that's such a scummy tactic, the game is already hard for the imposters without people sticking together on purpose Edit: I guess that's why they have the sabotages, to split up groupers like you and it does lend to imposters trying to make really good plays but since it's unnecessary to win the game and just makes it infinitely harder for imposters I tend to avoid it.
I have a 95% win rate as imposter joining random games. The trick is to defend people who get falsely accused Edit: defend with doubt of them being it or by saying skip don’t overdefend. This strategy works because most imposters accuse or agree with an accusation in order to thin crewmates and so defending not only earns you a permanent ally but also makes it unlikely for anyone to accuse you.
This is actually a solid strategy. It plays off of humans obligation bias (it has a proper name, but I don't remember it offhand.). Essentially, what it boils down to is a social construct whereby, if one does you a favor, you are more likely to do them a favor in return, even if it's something you wouldn't normally do. There's a ton of awesome research on the subject, if you ever have the time! Essentially, by doing the accused the "favor" of defending them, they are more likely in turn to defend you, as it would be a repayment of that previous favor! And, to top it all off, if you ARE killed, it casts further doubt on the person you defended. After all, why would you try so hard to defend someone who WASN'T your teammate? TL;DR while this idea should be tested, it does hold with psychological science.
Eradicator 5000 I have only failed imposter if I got caught right after murder or once when it was down to me and 2 crewmates. in fact. As imposter unless I was openly caught I have never been suspected. Ofc I usually play games with a single imposter
Nebulia Nah nah nah It’s more like Green:Blue acting kinda sus Blue:it’s kinda sus to point fingers at others Purple:yeah I think is green Orange:I saw red vent *cyan was not a impostor*
No one does that anymore. The game is now shiet when it became popular. Everyone is so absurd and dumb and the servers are always full. No one even uses the security cam near the reactor.
7:00 my strat when playing on random servers is to act as sus as posable so they will never know if or if not i am the imposter and it normally leads to them never voting me out without cold hard proof
I ran into many imposters who cheat, him as imposter and his friend as normal crew and they always vote someone else, thats how they win its not fun at all to cheat
If ur playing with a friend u can try to act innocent, catch their vote, convince them, BUT do not team with them, trick them, if ur LIVE give false in game commentary, TRICK UR FRIENDS, do not team with them, most of my friends would probably try to vote me as a joke, so if u can convince them someone is bad, it’s not cheating, it’s playing smart, if u ask them to spread misinfo and lie, it’s cheating
No there's solid counterplay, and you can accidentally sus yourself as an impostor by playing with electrical but never acknowledging when lights go off. There's excellent balance between impostors and crewmates.
10:10 Tip for crew members: You can see vents open and close in the dark. You just can't see who used them. I've caught so many impostors who vented from admin and dashed out. I couldn't see them venting but I saw the vent open followed by them dashing out of the room immediately after. On the same note, the medbay and electrical vent can be seen from security if you do not use the cams. The shields vent can be seen from comms.
You know what happened to me a few times? I was a crew mate, and I had to scan. So when we had a meeting, I asked if everyone could follow me to medbay to prove my innocence. Someone says that I’m sus, and everyone agrees with them. I beg them to skip and follow me to medbay. They ignore me and they vote for me.
A funny among us story: So me my sister and her friends were playing among us on polus, reactor was sabotaged and I ran over to the left one as I saw a confirmed innocent at the right and I saw my sister run away from the reactor thing where a body was I reported and told everyone it was my sis but they voted me out, next game I was doing the rocket thing and decided to stay pretending I was doing it still because I thought a person over the fence was sus then my sis came over and killed them I reported and they believed me that time
Actually, this was great advice, I've already been winning almost every game in among us but now that I've learned even more strategies ill probably be able to dominate the game
Are you saved? If you are not saved you can be saved right now This is the Gospel of your salvation. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures We are in the last days according to the Bible. Do you know if you're going to Heaven? Are you a sinner? Repent, trust Jesus and God will give you everlasting life. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
Well sure game theory does things OTHER then game theory, they do need to stretch out in order to make more money. and even then this guide itself is a theory since who can say it 100% works?
Coming back to this, I'm gonna say... I really like that you used Alpharad specifically for the Game Theory Counter-Accusation example, because I've seen Alpharad's Among Us videos and he pulls this sort of "Sacrifice" play a LOT where he'll be like "Alright then we just throw them both out"
I find that saying things like “I couldn’t have killed him I was cleaning the vents” Or “Guys I was eating lunchables in my vent” Gets you out of a lot situations since people think your trolling and won’t vote you off especially if there’s little amount of crewmates
I like doing that when I'm an Imposter and I KNOW and I'm going to get voted out. I throw a random crewmate under the bus to cover for the other imposter
Golden Rule for crew members: - Don't vote on 7 people when the two imp were still alive. - No alibi, No oxygen. - Save your task that could prove your innocence. (Unless, the visuals are off.) Things include: Skeld: Medbay Scan, Weapons, Shields and Trash MiraHQ: Medbay Scan Polus: Weapons and Medbay - Don't fix the lights alone. - Don't blatantly say who's safe on the very first round cause they will most likely get targeted, but if someone accuses that color for no absolute reason, immediately vouch for him.

- Walks around more than others

- Says he is the Imposter (if he isn't, he's a troll and you should kick him, if he is, he wants to take your attention away from a suspect, the other Imposter)
- Finds 3 or more bodies in a row
- Runs after you constantly far too close
- Is in a Room where Vents lead to from the Crimescene
- Spends his (usually) one Emergeny Meeting for giggles

it really do seem that way. i've played a few and I always get voted out when I'm crewmate quickly.

@Chandy Alexander it's also a way to be a bad teamate
@Chandy Alexander my strategy is usually skip voting if there's some crew mates that find your teammate suspicious but they still have chance to not get ejected. but if everyone knows there the impostor or you can estimate that there not surviving the meeting and whether you vote for them or not vote them there getting ejected anyway,that's when you usually vote for them since there skrewed any way , and to not look sus .sorry for this long comment
@@thirstygrunt2987 but if everyone knows it's your team mate and you don't vote then you look suspicious.

For sabotage: I’ve gone to secuirty before to see where people were. If I saw a bunch of people on the right side, I pull reactor because that’s on the left and harder to get to. If there’s a lot of people on the left side, I pull 02 because that’s on the right side and harder to get to. I’ve won using this.
Using admin would be more efficient
That’s stupid lol against experienced groups they never lose to sabo
@@i_mishalf_mshots8031 it would still distract them though
3:20 I've been waiting for this moment! Matpat talks about game theory in Game Theory!
I was playing among us with randoms, and three of us started sticking together. We would watch each other do a task, and once we had all proven our innocence we watched everyone else. The killers couldn’t touch us since there were three of us, so they killed off everyone else in the game. Leaving only the killers and us, we vote them out and win. It worked every single round except once when one of the trio was the imposter and tricked the rest of us. It was the most fun I’ve ever had in among us, and I wasn’t even the imposter
That's so cool. :D
Yeah it's pretty epic
that's such a scummy tactic, the game is already hard for the imposters without people sticking together on purpose
Edit: I guess that's why they have the sabotages, to split up groupers like you and it does lend to imposters trying to make really good plays but since it's unnecessary to win the game and just makes it infinitely harder for imposters I tend to avoid it.

MatPat: You play as a crewmate who does scientific tasks.

Yes yes yes yes
Carlos Arredondo there’s only room for one Charles around these parts
He is tricking everyone to play this way and is playing the least suspected tactics himself.
But that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY!!
I have a 95% win rate as imposter joining random games. The trick is to defend people who get falsely accused
Edit: defend with doubt of them being it or by saying skip don’t overdefend. This strategy works because most imposters accuse or agree with an accusation in order to thin crewmates and so defending not only earns you a permanent ally but also makes it unlikely for anyone to accuse you.
Nah man this trick dosent work in fact they will accuse you after they've done with him
They'll say if it's not him then it's you
Yeap
This is actually a solid strategy. It plays off of humans obligation bias (it has a proper name, but I don't remember it offhand.). Essentially, what it boils down to is a social construct whereby, if one does you a favor, you are more likely to do them a favor in return, even if it's something you wouldn't normally do. There's a ton of awesome research on the subject, if you ever have the time!
Essentially, by doing the accused the "favor" of defending them, they are more likely in turn to defend you, as it would be a repayment of that previous favor!
And, to top it all off, if you ARE killed, it casts further doubt on the person you defended. After all, why would you try so hard to defend someone who WASN'T your teammate?
TL;DR while this idea should be tested, it does hold with psychological science.
Eradicator 5000 I have only failed imposter if I got caught right after murder or once when it was down to me and 2 crewmates. in fact. As imposter unless I was openly caught I have never been suspected. Ofc I usually play games with a single imposter

Everyone is so absurd and dumb and the servers are always full.

7:00
my strat when playing on random servers is to act as sus as posable so they will never know if or if not i am the imposter and it normally leads to them never voting me out without cold hard proof
I ran into many imposters who cheat, him as imposter and his friend as normal crew and they always vote someone else, thats how they win
its not fun at all to cheat
It's not cheating, it's playing smart
nah
@@aclown36 No pretty sure it's cheating.
If ur playing with a friend u can try to act innocent, catch their vote, convince them, BUT do not team with them, trick them, if ur LIVE give false in game commentary, TRICK UR FRIENDS, do not team with them, most of my friends would probably try to vote me as a joke, so if u can convince them someone is bad, it’s not cheating, it’s playing smart, if u ask them to spread misinfo and lie, it’s cheating
Comrade Noob no it’s cheating. Your not suppose to team like that in Among Us friend or not.
This would be a good strategy if it was not for the fact the average Iq of most people u have played against is - 50

Polus: Weapons and Medbay
- Don't fix the lights alone.
- Don't blatantly say who's safe on the very first round cause they will most likely get targeted, but if someone accuses that color for no absolute reason, immediately vouch for him.
