20:57 The best part about that Shulk one is that it actually uses monado tech lmao. Something to do with cancelling the wheel as you die/by dying, allows you to use a move the instant you respawn instead of being forced to let the platform lower all the way. So he backslashed from the very top of the screen for maximum style.
@HazeEmry yes buster neuters your knockback and kill power, but racks up percentage. By going back to normal from dying (alongside the cancel) means the backslash was guaranteed to kill
OH MY GOD IT'S ME From 6:24 to 6:40 and 18:16 to 18:38 HOLY SHIT I never thought a DOA clip from my tiny channel would be anywhere near the orbit of someone huge like Max! AND him and the video eitor gave me proper credit unlike people on Twitter I feel extremely hunbled, thank you Max!
The funniest part to me about that impromptu acapella performance at 6:45 is that according to the description and accounts from that event, everyone was being super chill and well-mannered until money was wagered on a fight. Then _that_ happened.
@@deathcon5297 So as a Texan, if I decided to roll up and challenge someone in Michigan, there'd be trouble? Or it only starts when I slam the $20 on the counter?
23:58 Oh, that's me in the pink/red shirt. Didn't expect our tournament with Pokchop to be featured in this lol. I think it was labeled as Summer Jam 2023 when this was our Middle GA Cherry Blossom Tournament in March, but not really try to make a fuss about it. Thanks for featuring us in the video!
Now this is something I wish Max would do as a Fighting game "influencer" showcase the FGC in various ways, have him react to fgc vids, combos, funny moments, that sorta thing he doesn't always have to but I'd love if he did it more often, cause seeing his genuine reaction to what other FGCs do is so much fun
That Smash clip of Shulk backslash is the most you’ll ever see of that move because it has almost no application in competitive play. But my god is that clip good.
10:24 I always feel bad for Rhum in that clip. 16's self destruct has such a specific hitbox and if Lythero wasn't near the corner he probably would have whiffed the SD
@@YokaiStevewell actually, it's cause of how Hit's level 1's hitbox actually works. It travels in a straight line on the the ground, & because 16 actually _jumps_ during the animation, Hit doesn't collide with him so he actually passes under 16 in that singular moment.
@@YokaiSteve wow, it's like time continues & people find old content at a later time. Crazy how that works, right? And yeah, actually it fucking IS. I know cause I actually PLAY Hit & everytime he runs into someone's hurtbox during invuln frames, or if they block, Hit bounces off of them. The only way Hit could possibly go IN FRONT of 16 is because hits actual character model disappears during that super & he passes under, because Hit will travel the full length of the hitbox when a character jumps over it. Since they were in the corner, Hit ends up stopped inside the corner, able to be grabbed by 16. What's fucking pathetic is just boldly claiming to be right when you're wrong, & instead of providing any evidence, just saying "lol imagine joining a comment thread [a set amount of time] after it was first made."
he's reacted to it before, when he was talking about slo-mo in Tekken and how it created hype moments he reacted to that iconic clip, he was laughing his ass off
One of his 1% moments. In 99% of his other moments, it's the usual Raging Demon, but when he's had a *REALLY* slow day, it's the *Lazing Demon* that he pulls out to slay his opponents. 😆😆😆
What happened during the slomo Tekken clip was that both fighters, at the edge of death, went to strike each other. Time slows down for dramatic effect to see who hits to other person first, and the slow down lasts as long as both animations. Because the grenade throw animation was so long, the slow mo lasted forever, thus leading to the Casual Messatsu.

Heyo! Editor of this vid here! No, it wasn't Bruno that did this one (but you can probably guess where the inspiration comes from) So, a few fun tidbits that did and didn't make the video, as well as a mistake I want to clear up. To start off, I was informed that the Pokchop clip was NOT from Summer Jam that week, but from the Cherry Blossom tourney in Georgia back in March this year. The tweet in the vid was deleted, so trying to find the source of it went cold and I had gone from another vid (which Pokchop retweeted from the thread), but from a different angle and went off of that. My sincerest apologies for the mistake there. - 23 out of the 26 clips in this vid are all from their respective sources. The only salvaged one is the SF5 Ryu Mirror Dance. Even though the YT stream is no longer available, to my knowledge, only ONE OTHER SITE has the episode of the match. - After the glass shattering in the GeoffTheHero part, there was going to be a few fake twitlongers and "You're going to Twitter" kinda stuff in the background. Of course, to me, that'd probably be a bit too much. - There WAS another clip that unfortunately didn't make it, which was a Strive match with ChiliLion's Potemkin and the Art of Mashing. - I've been seeing this a lot, but the sounds during the King grab chain and the Ping Crimson parts are the Jet Set Radio spray sounds. - Yes, most of the background music is from Yakuza/Like a Dragon. It was hella fun to do and I'm overwhelmed by the praise here, Twitter and also in Twitch chat. Thank you all.

23:39 Kiryu Kazama made Max realize that a famous fight was staged, but that it still shows a massive amount of skill to pull off. What is important is that it inspired him for so long.
That Jan Lee video has to be the funniest FGC thing I've seen in a LOOOOOOOOOONG TIME. The pause into the, "I will fuck you up~" is crazy. God, I love this community so much, you guys are beautiful.
My favorite part of that Jann Lee clip is the stank he puts on the "wait" in "you better wait" followed by the "ok...alright...shit...I'm sorry..." then immediately back in it. Kills me every time
"GeT iN ThE cAaAaAaR" That Jann Lee Jingle is so freaking entertaining. XD As a casual player, seeing clips I RECOGNISE is astounding. But seeing a sentient saxophone play happy birthday ON A TRUMPET while pulling off a happy birthday is LITERALLY the kind of bonkers content I live for!
For those that don't know, the way that Smash Ultimate Shulk clip works is that Shulk can store startup frames for moves with the Arts Pallet, allowing for Frame One moves. as Shulk fell, the player stored the Backslash startup so that they could Backslash the moment they respawned. And as the name suggests, Backslash deals 2x damage from behind, AND most of shulks mobes get more damage at the base of the Monado (the red part, not the Blue Beam)
Wow, super cool to be featured in a Max video! Much love (and shoutouts to the editors for all the work on the video ❤ ) For a bit of context on the Kefla mirror clip, the two players are friends and labbed this exact starting sequence for a good hour before going on their match haha. This was an exhibition ahead of a major weekend so they wanted to bring the vibes... and they sure did!
Man, find the clip of them playing Virtua Tennis when he laughs at Steve's scream lmao. You can feel the pain in your own sternum from how hard Max rattled.
@@sh00ner Max saying he just wants to play Mario 64 while watching the parallel universe video is definitely one of my favorite moments. He was wheezing for several minutes straight lmao
I love that this isn't just an upload of a portion of the vod and the editing visualizes the explanations and actually credits the original clips. Highest quality reaction content I've encountered, cudos to Max and the editors.
Not James Chen, Chris Hu. Chris is a legend in NYC FGC, as is his accent and English skills. But yeah, Chris does explain the glitch correctly. IIRC it was Aquasilk who crit failed his roll to translate Hu Speak.
@@blazaybla22It's basically a reset that actually happens to continue the combo. So, damage scales as if it's a fresh hit. Massive damage. In other words, two combos, but somehow connected perfectly together. Forget unblockable resets, how about resetting while you're still in hitstun?
Never in my life did I think I'd appear in a Max video, and I'm glad it was for a legendary gaming moment lmao. Thanks Max! You're the best and that video never gets old.
The single funniest thing about the Woshige clip is that after the match Ogawa pops off, and then looks over his shoulder to make sure he's not doing the same thing. Its subtle but its all I can see now
@@guilhermefranco2930 Oh there's a reason. If you go to the original video he's looking at, it just degenerates into a racist mess of language and would have probably demonitized Max's channel. Enough people were also familiar with the content that they also warned Max.
5:50 Oh my god, that is the 1st time that I've ever seen this clip. I'm in tears right now from laughing so much at this. Virtua Fighter essentially bodied Dead or Alive and their proud of it, lol XD.
I just love watching Max laugh and the editors went above and beyond. This is so much fun and it feels good to watch something as simple as a reaction video given so much care.
This video is even better than that brilliant fighting game community video. The sauce, the disrespect, the pure comedy. I love this genre. Thank you for cementing my love for fighting games so long ago, Max.
10:55 this was 100% choreographed and planned out ahead of time. I could maybe see the 5M-2M-6H-5H-2H at the start being an organic clash string, but there’s no shot that they both went into the same special move after that, then called the same assist, went into DR, teched it, dash, DR again, teched again, and finally did level 1 super for absolutely no reason.
Nope, that's actually real. In a lot of animé fighters, the input buffer is a bit more generous to compensate for game speed, so people input parts of their combo from muscle memory ahead of time without confirming, since the games tend to be too fast to react off of a single hit confirm. Everything else then follows consistent optimization for getting through or getting blocked, and clashing equals getting through, so both tried to outpace the other with the optimal combo. Of course, as both should have realized what the other was doing, either one could've deviated to try and counter, but the risk vs. reward was way too low, since that combo is optimal for a reason.
@@KazeMemaryu bruh, I know how the input buffer system works in this game, that has nothing to do with what I’m saying. For one thing, clashes are super rare in this game because of the priority system. For another, this isn’t the kind of game where you just throw out supers as soon as you get the meter because there’s a penalty to your meter gain after supers, ex moves, vanishes, anything that costs meter to use. High-level players like this can react to clashes after 1-2 hits, maybe 3 at the most, so there’s no shot they kept going on autopilot and then not only wasted meter but put themselves into meter penalty.
@@SSJ_Derp Apparently they did, hoping the other would slip up. I obviously can't read their minds, but it seems to me like neither saw a good window to drop the combo and approach differently without getting hit. Hell, the meter penalty was easily more acceptable than risking a hit, when every character has ToD's.
I always loved how someone made a fanart of the "What are you standing up for?!" moment, which showed Millia doing the arms-up victory pose with Woshige's name written on the "license plate" on her hat.
Fantastic editing! Not just for the humour, but all of the levels of educational context, and especially the fact that every video is given extensive credit. So much effort put in, and it has not gone unnoticed!
Look, Max's energy is as infectious as ever, and the clip selection is pure gold. But I haven't got enough words to say how awesome the editor's job was here. I have no idea if it's Max himself or somebody else, but it was sublime. Each clip had the exact right amount of edits, and the style varied accordingly. I had already watched a great video about this thread and I had even seen it in loco. This was still an awesome video that made me enjoy stuff I had already seen. I can always count on Max making my day brighter.
Ngl this was the most entertaining video Max has put out in a long time. Just seeing weird wonkey interactions and Max reacting to them made my week...need more of this
16:24 - ive seen alot of ppl atrributing the "what are you standing up for" saying to this clip. They actually got it from Ricky Ortiz in a clip from years prior. Somebody popped off thinking their super was gonna kill and they had to sit back down real quick. Ricky's Rufus came all the way back, beat him, the Ricky stood up mean muggin sayin "what are you standing up for??" Was genuinely a fuckin incredible FGC moment
The Jax clip might just be my all-time favorite FG clip. The immediate realization that it's all over, the controller drop, the music - it's perfect. I have to watch it at least 6 times every time I see it.
That DBZ clip looks pretty much like how some actual fights go in the show, both fighters sometimes mimic each other's moves for some time and save for their respective appearance being different it's like having a mirror right between each one.
hey max longtime lurker and enjoyer of the the whole fighting game community and expecially of your channel. i never really caught up to this genre myself. i think i just dont have the discipline or drive to get good enough but i just love this scene and its energy and humor and expecially yours. nontheless your videos and watching fighting games content bring me so much enternainment its crazy. apreciate you alot!
the dbz clip at 11:45 i did this in a voldo mirror in soul calibur back in the day. both of us legit took an irl breather at the tourney to collect ourselves mid set lmao.
As someone who absolutely loves watching FGC moments like this, watching Max react is absolute gold, his laughing fits and the editing make this video a classic already
im so glad you explained the importance of the big band clip
I'm saying. I only just started learning BASIC fighting game terms for Smash.
Also, nice DBZF clip, yo.
It was truly a funny ass clip! You guys did perfect!
Its funny dragon ball man
I didn't notice how Eliza had Cerebella's arms in the Big Band clip until Max pointed out that he was fighting 2 characters. Completely eluded me!
Your clip was pretty good too

Wow, super cool to be featured in a Max video! Much love (and shoutouts to the editors for all the work on the video ❤ )
For a bit of context on the Kefla mirror clip, the two players are friends and labbed this exact starting sequence for a good hour before going on their match haha. This was an exhibition ahead of a major weekend so they wanted to bring the vibes... and they sure did!
Mais Damascus laisse nous croire au père noël xD
Is that my fav French FGC commentator I see? Yo wus good fam?! Much love from Dallas TX! 🤟🏿
I wanna believe man......
Noooo Santa is real!
9:50 Cody once again proving why he is one of the strongest characters in Street Fighter. He’s just truly built different 😂
Brooo I rewatched that moment 14 times. That was the dirtiest thing I've seen in my life when it comes to fighting games..
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did mans just jump cancel out of a special?
P I N G
C R I M S O N
@@lastpringle8904It was a Rollback moment, the game registered erroneosly a EX Zonk, so the game corrected itself mid-battle, leading to the Jump.
21:15 I've never heard Max wheeze so hard at something until this moment! His wheeze got me to wheeze!! 😂😂😂
Man, find the clip of them playing Virtua Tennis when he laughs at Steve's scream lmao. You can feel the pain in your own sternum from how hard Max rattled.
@@sh00ner Max saying he just wants to play Mario 64 while watching the parallel universe video is definitely one of my favorite moments. He was wheezing for several minutes straight lmao
That’s the raw power of the kazoo
You gotta find the clip where he was looking at AI generated 'real life' SF5 characters. He loses it when Gief pops up😂
THAT is the Monado’s power
9:32 I'M SO HAPPY THIS VOICE CLIP FROM WOOLIE GOT USED! HATS OFF TO THE EDITOR!!
Thanks for the info!
All the love to the editors for making this already goofy stream into an insane vid
6:58 I NOW KNOW WHERE THIS VOICE CLIP COMES FROM! In Strive I have it for when Ino commands grab supers you
That's so HER!
XD
That big band main had been waiting his whole life for that moment.
I love big band so much.
Big band and Beowulf are quite the memes on the game
I love that this isn't just an upload of a portion of the vod and the editing visualizes the explanations and actually credits the original clips. Highest quality reaction content I've encountered, cudos to Max and the editors.
My favorite part of Chris Hu explaining the DHC glitch is… it actually makes complete sense. It’s just worded badly!
Not James Chen, Chris Hu. Chris is a legend in NYC FGC, as is his accent and English skills. But yeah, Chris does explain the glitch correctly. IIRC it was Aquasilk who crit failed his roll to translate Hu Speak.
@@mindwarp42 Thanks for the correction. I forgot his name there.
Does he just mean it’s like a reset?
@@blazaybla22It's basically a reset that actually happens to continue the combo.
So, damage scales as if it's a fresh hit. Massive damage.
In other words, two combos, but somehow connected perfectly together. Forget unblockable resets, how about resetting while you're still in hitstun?
Never in my life did I think I'd appear in a Max video, and I'm glad it was for a legendary gaming moment lmao. Thanks Max! You're the best and that video never gets old.
which was yours?
@@jaealxndrthe "somebody's getting ｆｕｕｕｕｕｕｃｋｅｄ" clip
God I love knowing this happened in Michigan.
3:00 "But you didn't kill me, YOOOOOU didn't kill meeeee"♪
Man, this part with the editing got even funnier, good job editor! haha
That Happy Birthday clip is FOUL. Thats just straight up murder
The most disrespectful clip…maybe of all time
The epitome of transformative work, Max adds so much to this it's insane. The result is, no joke, one of my favorite RUclips videos of all time.
The single funniest thing about the Woshige clip is that after the match Ogawa pops off, and then looks over his shoulder to make sure he's not doing the same thing.
Its subtle but its all I can see now
“WHAT ARE YOU STANDING UP FOR???” still rings in my head from time to time lol. That was literally my first year watching EVO
Wooshige noooo????
Literally a "Taunt to Get Bodied" moment.
The funniest part of the clip is that you can see Ogawa checkijg to make sure he didint just do the sam thing when he stands up
14:12 -- Shoutout to the editors for the choice of Monken's Beeper (the song from Yakuza: Like a Dragon) for use as a warning.
I couldn't understand what was happening in that section of the video or why he is as so afraid
@@guilhermefranco2930 Oh there's a reason. If you go to the original video he's looking at, it just degenerates into a racist mess of language and would have probably demonitized Max's channel. Enough people were also familiar with the content that they also warned Max.
13:20 this part killed me, kudos to Max's editor lol
This and the Shulk kazoo are my favorite parts 😂😂💀💀
What song was used?
@@atmaillumina virtual insanity
@@notamobilesprout4175 Thanks. I have it on my playlist but I have so many songs and I forgot what it was called lol.
4:38 I also remember seeing this live. AsianLamb vs JWong is the set that lives in my head rent free. I share that clip every holiday season.
15:15 goes so hard ngl
Iconic
25:05 so THAT'S where Sajam get his famous "Twerked on em" quote from 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The editor did an amazing job on this one, down to the comedic timing and even gave credit to the original tweet and/or video. Perfection *chefs kiss*
Bruh that Jann Lee player had me on my knees gasping for air I could not HANDLE that shit. Him being such a good singer just made it even funnier.
My friends and I are constantly referencing that clip.
So funny enough I serve with that guy in Japan. He basically plays any Bruce Lee character in a fighting game
5:50
Oh my god, that is the 1st time that I've ever seen this clip. I'm in tears right now from laughing so much at this. Virtua Fighter essentially bodied Dead or Alive and their proud of it, lol XD.
And that explosion upon landing pretty much seals the deal. Absolutely impressive!
👏👏👏😆
Only in videogames that is NOT MURDER
XD
10:18 Seeing Lythero in here put a huge smile on my face. :)
5:20 || V || --> || punch. This kid is experiencing what true fighting game trauma looks like
18:41 Gotta love Joels' ability to go for the funny at every possible moment he can.
Yeah, even if it's a bit fecal sometimes.
I just love watching Max laugh and the editors went above and beyond. This is so much fun and it feels good to watch something as simple as a reaction video given so much care.
8:16 "I can't watch too many of these"
Max did, in fact, watch many more of these
This video is even better than that brilliant fighting game community video. The sauce, the disrespect, the pure comedy. I love this genre. Thank you for cementing my love for fighting games so long ago, Max.
13:31 veterans speaking to casuals/newbies
XD
10:55 this was 100% choreographed and planned out ahead of time. I could maybe see the 5M-2M-6H-5H-2H at the start being an organic clash string, but there’s no shot that they both went into the same special move after that, then called the same assist, went into DR, teched it, dash, DR again, teched again, and finally did level 1 super for absolutely no reason.
Good thing it wasn't choreographed
Nope, that's actually real. In a lot of animé fighters, the input buffer is a bit more generous to compensate for game speed, so people input parts of their combo from muscle memory ahead of time without confirming, since the games tend to be too fast to react off of a single hit confirm. Everything else then follows consistent optimization for getting through or getting blocked, and clashing equals getting through, so both tried to outpace the other with the optimal combo.
Of course, as both should have realized what the other was doing, either one could've deviated to try and counter, but the risk vs. reward was way too low, since that combo is optimal for a reason.
@@KazeMemaryu bruh, I know how the input buffer system works in this game, that has nothing to do with what I’m saying. For one thing, clashes are super rare in this game because of the priority system. For another, this isn’t the kind of game where you just throw out supers as soon as you get the meter because there’s a penalty to your meter gain after supers, ex moves, vanishes, anything that costs meter to use. High-level players like this can react to clashes after 1-2 hits, maybe 3 at the most, so there’s no shot they kept going on autopilot and then not only wasted meter but put themselves into meter penalty.
@@SSJ_Derp Apparently they did, hoping the other would slip up. I obviously can't read their minds, but it seems to me like neither saw a good window to drop the combo and approach differently without getting hit. Hell, the meter penalty was easily more acceptable than risking a hit, when every character has ToD's.
The super at the end gives it away, it was a setup for a clean 0 bar round start.
The slow-mo Tekken clip with Akuma just sliding in with the raging demon at the end just fucking SENT me
13:06
20:56 This hits so much harder as a Shulk player to me. Back Slash is so fuckin satisfying to hit.
Seeing Max react to Berleezy is something I never thought would've ever happened 💀
Joel too
I never thought I'd see that day where I can see Berleezy and Max in the same video 😂
21:07 The ultimate punish 🤣🤣🤣
18:42 That He-Man pizza clip actually killed me lmfao
I always loved how someone made a fanart of the "What are you standing up for?!" moment, which showed Millia doing the arms-up victory pose with Woshige's name written on the "license plate" on her hat.
I need to see this
I need to see that fanart XD
I don't know how much Max pays his editor, but it's not enough. Man's a goddamn editing genius.
Fantastic editing! Not just for the humour, but all of the levels of educational context, and especially the fact that every video is given extensive credit. So much effort put in, and it has not gone unnoticed!
That Shulk clip is the single most disrespectful Smash kill I’ve ever seen. My god, I love it so much 🤣
That Shulk/Ness clip has been living rent-free in my head for YEARS since I first saw it.
Look, Max's energy is as infectious as ever, and the clip selection is pure gold.
But I haven't got enough words to say how awesome the editor's job was here. I have no idea if it's Max himself or somebody else, but it was sublime. Each clip had the exact right amount of edits, and the style varied accordingly.
I had already watched a great video about this thread and I had even seen it in loco. This was still an awesome video that made me enjoy stuff I had already seen. I can always count on Max making my day brighter.
This one easily the best thing that Max ever made for reactionary videos. Even for me who's a casual in FGC, this is fun!
I don't use social media, but this stream made me actually bookmark a twitter thread to revisit again in the future
130+ comments here... you are on social.
@@vangelisgru7271 ok then..that’s fair, I’ll just say minimal social media usage if the social media argument is going to extend to Twitch.
Sorry, whats the thread? Thnx
Ngl this was the most entertaining video Max has put out in a long time. Just seeing weird wonkey interactions and Max reacting to them made my week...need more of this
side note, one thing i love about Max is that he accepts when he is wrong. its a really hard thing to do, especially live infront of 10,000 people.
Nearly half an hour of Max reacting to just random FGC clips is like a Max Reacts x50. I am so in for this bottomless well of content.
Oh shit I made it into a Max video and it’s my biggest blunder in MVCI lmao. 19:30
That loop was something, alright.
11:22 This moment, *this moment right here* is how Dragon Ball is supposed to be played and look
16:24 - ive seen alot of ppl atrributing the "what are you standing up for" saying to this clip. They actually got it from Ricky Ortiz in a clip from years prior. Somebody popped off thinking their super was gonna kill and they had to sit back down real quick. Ricky's Rufus came all the way back, beat him, the Ricky stood up mean muggin sayin "what are you standing up for??" Was genuinely a fuckin incredible FGC moment
12:46 he blew up THE CODE...
XD
13:03 and he got DELETED
XD
5:55 Chris Jericho : that the best facebuster ive ever seen
The Jax clip might just be my all-time favorite FG clip. The immediate realization that it's all over, the controller drop, the music - it's perfect. I have to watch it at least 6 times every time I see it.
3:58 Hey that’s me! 😃
That is you. :^)
It was indeed not frost.
Indeed it is you!
7:35 He's like dude stop lemme go
9:10 watching Max giving that reaction towards what happens to Sephiroth, I’m here thinking “wait did Max really not know Hero can do that?”
That DBZ clip looks pretty much like how some actual fights go in the show, both fighters sometimes mimic each other's moves for some time and save for their respective appearance being different it's like having a mirror right between each one.
This video almost feels like a FGC Museum of memes and iconic moments, I absolutely love it.
21:02 Hilarious drop with epic music drop? Yes please! What is this tasty jam?
You will know our names from xenoblade
What he said. But, look up "You Will Know Our Names But the Kazoo Plays the Best Part"
18:56 HITBOXES
and
*HURTBOXES*
XD
19:40 did he actually *DUCK?!*
hey max longtime lurker and enjoyer of the the whole fighting game community and expecially of your channel.
i never really caught up to this genre myself. i think i just dont have the discipline or drive to get good enough but i just love this scene and its energy and humor and expecially yours.
nontheless your videos and watching fighting games content bring me so much enternainment its crazy.
apreciate you alot!
Shoutouts to the editor for getting all the sources on these. That must have been hell!
the dbz clip at 11:45 i did this in a voldo mirror in soul calibur back in the day. both of us legit took an irl breather at the tourney to collect ourselves mid set lmao.
As someone who absolutely loves watching FGC moments like this, watching Max react is absolute gold, his laughing fits and the editing make this video a classic already
23:43 The sad Like A Dragon theme though 😂
3:13 Tops moment 37 IDGAF
Those Vocals are Stellar
I need a part 2 now please, holy crap this was amazing to watch
