I love how clean the friction, piece replacement, and resolution of clipping is in this. I'd have to imagine the clipping handling is custom? The devs really tried to make sure stuff wouldn't shoot out & ruin your run, while still making sure that clipped pieces slide around other pieces properly and attempt to get out as stably as possible. These physics seem far more intentional than any other Suika-like we've seen so far.
I found it pretty funny when they were contemplating "if Hokkaido's borders were different." Hokkaido's an island, guys. Its borders are the coastline.
Watching these guys sending ages talking about Hokkaido's shape and who decided that that's the territory it should own while knowing that Hokkaido is literally just the whole island and that the shape was "decided" before humans even existed is just so funny to me
I think one feature that could be interesting to add to a Suika-like is to take the bump feature from Space Pinball. For all those times that you just need something to move a little bit you can jostle the board to add some physics.
Given that Hokkaido is the entire island (I think), it'd be a pretty wild history for the region to be shaped differently. Some volcano eruption thousands of years ago, maybe?
It would be funny if on the final day you guys play all the games people have been asking for but play it for like 10 seconds then move on to the next one
my colaboration to the perfect suika: if it has non-standard pieces, you need a button to turn them around before you drop them. you're welcome, Mr gold.
i was gonna say "please play giraffe town" but then i remembered that there are only like 4 days left of non scheduled videos and theyre all gonna be suika-likes
I love japan! Japan is where nintendo is from, and they made my favorite game Mario Strikers Charged for Wii which i cant wait for you guys to play on my birthday November 29th!!
I am crossing my fingers and hoping they have that final episode of Wario World they said they recorded two years ago but never uploaded saved for December. Please…
Suika shapes has a charge meter and swap(hold) as well as mods you can apply, also the rising floor mode as speed mode (and friend/global leaderboards for everything) and 15 unique shapes without clipping. Looking forward to your video after I release the game tomorrow (12 est hopefully). No multiplayer yet but I'd like to add it if I can
A couple of ideas I had for multiplayer Suika: 1. A shared next fruit sequence. Basically, the central divider between the 2 players' sides would have every upcoming fruit shown, maybe 10 or so depending on scale, so both players can see all of the fruits and try to make sure they get the fruits they need. 2. Instead of raising the floor for each merge, make the floor act like a set of scales. Each fruit would have a weight value, probably something like 2x the weight of the previous fruit. Each player would start with the base of their play area a quarter of the way up and each player's base would raise and lower based on the ratio of their side's weight to their opponent's
an essential aspect of the perfect suika is a timer before game loss. enables some interesting risky plays and reduces launching rng changes like hold button, jostle mechanic, rotation all serve to make the game easier, so it may be worth adding an extra step to balance it
I started watching the channel a week or two before Suika Week began, and I don't plan on stopping now. Even if I'm not at all interested in whatever game yall are playing, the two of you just have good conversations, it's fun to listen to in the background
i mean this in the best way: these suika videos have been putting me to sleep for the past few nights. It's so soothing to just listen to you both talk while faint sounds of the games play in the background. Thank you for continuing to play these!
11:25 a reminder of an actual butterfly effect If Tetsuya Takahashi was allowed to use the script of Xenosaga as the script for Final Fantasy 8, he would've never had the idea for making an extended universe despite the fact Square wasn't going to give him a sequel for it And if square did give him funding and allowed him to continue Xenogears, he wouldn't've left to form Monolithsoft and went to Namco and if he was allowed with Namco to extend Xenosaga out past 3 games, he and Monolithsoft would not've left for the Wii and Nintendo and if Xenoblade Chronicles 1 wasn't part of the 3 games fans pushed for localization for via Project Rainfall, it wouldn't've sold well since it would've been a Japanese exclusive, and wouldn't make profit or impact to warrant Shulk in smash or the existence of Xenoblade X And without Xenoblade X gaining the attention of Nintendo and getting Monolithsoft's involvement with Breath of the Wild, its highly likely that BotW would not have released on time for Switch's launch, in the same completed state its in, or possibly even released at all Meaning you can blame Cloud Strife and English dub fans for Genshin Impact.
It's understandable jome didn't know dishwashers exist, but it's really not hard to guess what they do. Like, the name is literally DISH-WASHER. It's like if i asked what a rice cooker does. IT COOKS RICE
I watched nearly every video this year on gold just bc i love to have some video blabbing about anything in the background and your channel is just very consistent for that content
I know that they constantly talk about how it's sad when you realise how long it's actually been and that talk usually doesn't effect me but when Jo asked if anyone was from when custom coliseum was a thing for some reason that was the thing that got me thinking about the past and how short time is and I got sad
I can understand not knowing what an air conditioner is cuz wtf does it mean to condition air? But a dishwasher says exactly what it does in the name, it washes dishes.
I need you to know that I’m just a casual viewer on this channel but listening to ya’ll and watching you play a suika-like is the closest thing I’m ever going to get to enjoying ASMR. I think that may be why these videos are doing so well.
Welp, now the background footage of the year recap or tier list whatever or has to be a Suika game. It's just the perfect background stuff for any conversation it seems.
The tier list is going to be fantastic because doing 15 minute to 1 hour videos is not enough time to learn most games and get the quality out of them. As such, you guys should play Path of Exile exactly for that reason.
I know you just said you're rapping up suika week but I made an alpharad gold themed suika called "Suika; Gold" if you felt like trying it out (It does not contain all your ideal suika mechanics but does have a leaf transition button)
I think the most jarring back to back upload was Valorant to Murder of sonic, that sh*t was so funny seeing the notification after I watched the Valorant video. What a week
hey alpha i’ve watch so many of your videos i personally feel like you owe me money do you know how many times i’ve fallen asleep while watching alpharad gold. in the past 2 weeks ive woken up with your best of 2018 6 times that is so much money ive given you and i feel like you owe me
21:31 "this is more for people to put on while they do homework in the background" I slightly feel called out. I just cleaned one of my subject, which homework I finished to get the next one
What an interesting two weeks this has been, I sure hope next week is the sims 4 week. It's because I have been asking for you fellas to play the sims 4 for 329 days!
agreed about that tip thing, I'm so anal about my tipping that when I'm offered to tip digitally I turn it off and hand the driver a fiver personally (for a 15 dollar pizza so it's a 33% tip) just to make sure the company they work for isn't stiffing them.
If you make a suika game, a fun mechanic might be the ability to shake the basket. Like you can have a power guard for how hard you wanna shake it and so you can try to shuffle your basket around but you also risk flinging stuff out of it
so idea with the trash blocks to add onto the trash blocks and raising floor so like you get sent trash blocks and the floor raises but like the roof is taller to compensate and matching the trash blocks relowers your floor as opposed to just not doing anything like in whale game
The fact last custom coliseum was 2021 is simultaneously shocking how it was so long ago, but also shocking how recent it was seeing how there have been two rebrands since then.
We need a "Tetris Game" where the pieces that drop can combine with other pieces, like in Suika, and lines can also delete rows like in Tetris. The Pieces drop like in Suika, and there would have to be some weirder and more unique shapes the more you merge, and the goal would be to just play like in Tetris (unfortunately that means getting a watermelon doesn't matter at all, but I think it would be cool anyways)
21:30 “this is more for people to put on while they do homework in the back or something” me smoking a bowl in my parents’ garage paying extreme attention to everything that happens in the video: 😦
holy crap i just realized i started college a little after gold began, i’ve got two semesters left after a week or so. that is somehow the smallest change in my life this year.
Can't wait to see "Suika Gerrymandered US Voting Districts Game"
I like how they started talking about how changing prefecture borders in Japan would affect them and the people watching but not the people of Japan
I love how clean the friction, piece replacement, and resolution of clipping is in this. I'd have to imagine the clipping handling is custom? The devs really tried to make sure stuff wouldn't shoot out & ruin your run, while still making sure that clipped pieces slide around other pieces properly and attempt to get out as stably as possible. These physics seem far more intentional than any other Suika-like we've seen so far.
I found it pretty funny when they were contemplating "if Hokkaido's borders were different."
Hokkaido's an island, guys. Its borders are the coastline.
Gerrymandering at it's worst
@@alpaca6462 what does gerrymandering mean in this context
It's a joke
@@meh9114 the way they put the coastline, ofc
Uhm actually Hokkaido also includes some islands (also technically they could have cut up Hokkaido in several parts)
You have officially made me go to bed ten minutes later by playing two more games! congrats!
Checking in at 5 past eleven, they got me by 5 more minutes.
Did you go to sleep
@@robotmaster4515 Yes, I did infact go to sleep

The amount of times I have shaken my switch, wanting this to be true…
okay, okay, fine, i SUPPOSE i'll support the channel beyond suika week...
i wont
10:10 Imma be honest, I’ve never ben consistently watched this channel until Suika
By “consistently” I mean I’ve watched like 5ish videos on this channel until Suika
This is an interesting take on the Suika genre, a perfect end to Suika Week 2
“End of suika week” into “We found a suika versus game” was definitely the most jarring back to back episodes
There comes a point where 15 different suika games becomes both a problem and a solution in life.
Imagine two time travelers changing the shapes of prefectures just to make Hokkaido better for a Suika game
Honestly, the idea of petty time travellers changing the past to make really minor changes to their current lives sounds like an amazing tv show.
Funny enough, Hokkaido is one of the only prefectures that can't change shape, because that's just how the island was made 150,000 years ago.
@@notme8232Terraformation.
@@SupermewX300going back in time to make cars be called carks.
Because it sounds more good
Valid
When you bust, having the territories of Japan explode with a big boom effect might not have been the most well thought out move.
Can’t wait for a best of Alpharad video where it’s literally just suika
There's still the Touhou Suika game. This has to continue.
The people demand Touhou Suika, the only Suika game to actually feature Suika Ibuki.
omg, Suika Combination is adorable, thank you for informing me of its existence
I Shouldn't be surprised but I am,forgot how fast the fandom worked.
The shape of Hokkaido is cutting into my sleep hours
This ones pretty great with the animated faces and kinda educational
Given that Hokkaido is the entire island (I think), it'd be a pretty wild history for the region to be shaped differently. Some volcano eruption thousands of years ago, maybe?
It would be funny if on the final day you guys play all the games people have been asking for but play it for like 10 seconds then move on to the next one
yoooooo thanks for shouting me out as a university student who currently has this video on in the background as I write my essay. glad to be involved
my colaboration to the perfect suika:
if it has non-standard pieces, you need a button to turn them around before you drop them.
you're welcome, Mr gold.
genius
We're reinventing tetris
I would counter that with a "shake" button. Just a small shake to get some pieces to touch
i agree with this
Also adjust their size. That would be sick.
"This is more for people to put on while doing homework and shit"
Damn, I just got called out
i was gonna say "please play giraffe town" but then i remembered that there are only like 4 days left of non scheduled videos and theyre all gonna be suika-likes

Can something really be jarring when I fully do not conceptualize your existence beyond the video in front of my face?
11:25 a reminder of an actual butterfly effect
If Tetsuya Takahashi was allowed to use the script of Xenosaga as the script for Final Fantasy 8, he would've never had the idea for making an extended universe despite the fact Square wasn't going to give him a sequel for it
And if square did give him funding and allowed him to continue Xenogears, he wouldn't've left to form Monolithsoft and went to Namco
and if he was allowed with Namco to extend Xenosaga out past 3 games, he and Monolithsoft would not've left for the Wii and Nintendo
and if Xenoblade Chronicles 1 wasn't part of the 3 games fans pushed for localization for via Project Rainfall, it wouldn't've sold well since it would've been a Japanese exclusive, and wouldn't make profit or impact to warrant Shulk in smash or the existence of Xenoblade X
And without Xenoblade X gaining the attention of Nintendo and getting Monolithsoft's involvement with Breath of the Wild, its highly likely that BotW would not have released on time for Switch's launch, in the same completed state its in, or possibly even released at all
Meaning you can blame Cloud Strife and English dub fans for Genshin Impact.

Hey yall did anyone else notice that when you lose in this suika it says boom and a big bomb goes off??
I love finishing an Alpharad Gold video before the runtime should even be finished. Here's to a full week of 10's! (Wait no...)
The peaks and valleys of the views of suika week vids has been the most interesting part of this.
The tier list is going to be fantastic because doing 15 minute to 1 hour videos is not enough time to learn most games and get the quality out of them. As such, you guys should play Path of Exile exactly for that reason.
I know you just said you're rapping up suika week but I made an alpharad gold themed suika called "Suika; Gold" if you felt like trying it out (It does not contain all your ideal suika mechanics but does have a leaf transition button)
immediately playing omg
The part about doing college homework is hilarious since I’m writing my final essay rn while listening to them LMAO
With them thinking back on the year it's made me think "man, i miss the shitty windows movie maker intros"
Days of waiting for alpharad’s funny story: 2
you can definitely get your dream suika game commissioned by someone
that one night where jo just flipped a coin really threw me for a loop like in an “hmm, yeah i guess” type of way
I think the most jarring back to back upload was Valorant to Murder of sonic, that sh*t was so funny seeing the notification after I watched the Valorant video.
What a week
This one looks cool I’m surprised how well the shapes work for this.
cant wait for Super Alex the 9 World on the last day of the year (real)
7:26 The hurricane effect. A change in a single hurricane's existance could cause a butterfly hundreds of miles away to flap its wings.

33 year old checking in. I've been watching since the "how to play" smash 4 compilations. Fucking 8 years ago
27:40 they probably do but they would use it as more storage space than to wash dishes
A Suika-like that addresses a major criticism of the original: the fruits are too round

The taking a dollar away thing joe mentioned is from a gag in the sitcom 3rd rock from the sun. If you look up 3rd rock tipping, it's pretty funny.
I have to take my parents to the airport tomorrow, the extra video length has deprived me of some sleep that I will need
Day 3 of waiting for Jacob's funny story
the specific call out for those who use Alpharad Gold vids as units of measurement was insane lmao
I agree, Cici's is overly hated.
Maybe I'm just lucky but every Cici's I've been to slapped.
I gotta say that its so nice for the shape to actually match the "hitbox" for once
I think this might be the most interesting version of Suika I’ve seen. Like this just seems like a love letter to geography and Suika.
Huh, i never expected this. Suika week is truly magical lmao
so sad there are only 3 more days left
the voice clip when you get Hokkaido is so cute, this game has a lot of charm
The most jarring upload was mario 3 to animal crossing. I was NOT ready for that
5:58 It was funny hearing them complain about Hokkaido's borders not realizing that they weren't drawn and are actually just its coastline
Here's to hoping the suika meta never ends
7:04 Literally using this video while I get ready for work and I leave when it ends 😭

Day one of asking Alpharad Gold to play Naughty Bear Suika
i have been watching alpharad for 5 years which is almost 1/4 of my life.... which is wild. and strange to think about.
To answer at 10:15, my pick is definitely the 1 hour and a half long drunk Mario Party 6 episode into the 2m long Wordle episode
holy crap i just realized i started college a little after gold began, i’ve got two semesters left after a week or so. that is somehow the smallest change in my life this year.
I'm 32 and I have watched every video since the channel started. Jo can't silence me.
