This was translated live so no subtitles, you're just gonna have to listen lol

[@BoltTheEmolga]

understandable
but still pain

[@dizzyhungry]

It still gonna be interrsting hearing about their thoughts. Thanks for the video!

[@Moist_E]

Imagine making thousands of dollars regularly and not putting in subtitles. Thanks GIMR for a pointless fucking video

"How do you do, fellow kids? What do you think about the fancy new tech named Slingshot?" - GimR

[@Nokyyyyy]

"A-ah, slingshoto, y-yes..."

[@DeezNuts-kb9di]

man i love how slightly awkward this is

[@ggnicklu]

Hopefully slingshot will help players to branch out to more characters when their secondaries benefit more from it, helps to see more characters in the top scene

Acola is so funny he’s just this kid he’s just chillin with the funny block man and he’s kicking everyone’s assses he’s def one of my new fav players

[@Rasminger]

there‘s so little light yet theres a clear reflection on 🅱️ald Gimr

[@DarkThomy]

I'm pretty sure Asimo used it multiple times with light f-tilt into back air.

[@ianbenice7009]

Nah that's just a regular confirm for ryu.

[@richardpeterjohnson5372]

the slingshot input is the best way to do that combo, and RAR in general with ken/ryu. that's why a lot of shoto players had already been doing it. i don't think any of us realized all the applications for other characters though.

[@brain_tonic]

Asimo saying Slingshot is mandatory for FGC characters makes sense.

[@user-ic5vn8nf4o]

Asimo did mention in the last part that he does use it the most when doing f-tilt into bair (when raising his leg lol)

[@darkraigengar2647]

Acola is my new hero.

[@goodguytongue7159]

The three of them (Gackt, Asimo, Acola) being in different orders for the title, thumbnail, and in the actual video upsets me, and now you can be upset by it too

[@nonnolaser122]

I see what you did here

[@liraco_mx]

I am upset. Well played?

[@krusher181]

I don’t care at all.

[@Josh_ua]

I wanna see the aCola Luigi 👀

[@sikonan]

His Luigi is soooo insane!! Please watch Tamisuma

[@ryan_raus]

Gackt seems like a cool dude.

[@2Kaleb]

The translator is goated

[@Fpl8646]

The way Gimr demonstrates how the slingshot may work with Steve cracked me up. A true Gamer (Gimr) scientist.

[@Gamerrelm1.0_relm]

The tech is kinda sweet upon cross up on shield....Kazuya mishima ammo break your shield.

[@konflicted1729]

[@Salone_FD]

Can someone make “Back The Lab Again.” in Japanese?

[@facade5050]

Japanese players are dressed well

[@elitecombine5373]

I still don't think that this tech will go far. Of course still waiting to be proven wrong when everyone is using this tech to compete in the top level but currently it looks like you can scrap by without it.

[@noonehere6994]

2 years later... yeah no one talks about it.

[@lordtheodore13]

Let them sit down, at least.

[@TylerPKegger]

What are they saying?

[@1wigbert]

I don't know.

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

3:18 huh, Why are they putting their hands together and bowing? lol. Don't think I've ever seen a Japanese person do that when thanking someone. At most I've seen a one handed bow as a quick apology or obviously when people visit shrines.

[@arcreehysteria9805]

classic way to say "thank you" or "bye" (or both at the same time) in Japan I think. I'm not japanease tho but I saw it many times before

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

@@arcreehysteria9805 In my opinion there is a chance you may be conflating the namaste gesture with a Japanese bow. My best guess is that maybe Gimr used the gesture off camera, and as a way to make the situation less awkward they continued to use it (as they do giggle right after the bow) From my experience living and studying in Japan I've never seen the namaste gesture used as a thank you. I could be wrong though, haha.

[@kaito9836]

Yea we don't do that at all. But a lot of foreigners do it to Japanese people which makes the Japanese do it back. It's really weird.

[@sirblinkerton9506]

Who cares lol

[@user-ir5un5qc7b]

@@arcreehysteria9805 no,we Japanese don't do such actions in history
Lots of american (not only, foreigners) don't understand the differences among Asian, I think there are a few countries whose people do those,but not Japan
