I feel like anytime Smant gets invited to do a Pokémon race, it’s never “who’s the fastest”, but instead “who comes in second and how far ahead in first is Smant”.
Guy’s way too good (and/or lucky) at these.
Just invite Jan from PokemonChallenges and it’s a race^^
@@1ntegratorthey raced each other in a Pokémon randomized map and Smant won it wasnt even close
Of course Smant found a workaround hahahahha
not once but TWICE 😭😭
he always does this XD someone needs to stop him
How is SmallAnt good at literally every video game he touches?
he's SO good man😭😭
Practice
Assberger
Its genuinely amazing. He picks games up so easily
He loves his mama
Leave it to Smallant to find a way to break the puzzles, him and SpiffingBrit should play a co-op game together 😂
Omg yes this would be amazing
They’d crash the servers or break their computers with the crap they’d get up to 😂
He didn't actually break the puzzle. It was never set up properly because in testing everyone did the puzzles.
9:48 NO WAY THE EMERALD GUIDE FROM CLIFF'S VIDEO
the lore on these videos is bonkers. The Pokeverse is expanding 😂
I can't believe she opened that historic gem.
@@evanmorrison3232 it was the correct content play, I gotta respect it
Smant in an escape room, you know how that's gonna go… While everyone is looking for the door key that's hidden in the chimney, he will somehow build a window and leave through it 😅
That is too accurate
Smallant just does what's funniest all the time lol
Grade-A "Toonforce" level abilities
you ever seen the clip of smant describing his luck? he defines it as whatever makes for the best content is what will happen
@@henrycrisco2016 The Smant Principle
Smallant has irl plot amour when it comes to these challenge videos. Makes no sense.
How does SmallAnt ALWAYS manage to find unintended ways around puzzles 😂
What was the glitch Smant found in the Strength Puzzle room? I feel like you completely glossed over that.
I totally did and the reason I did is because I have no idea. I reviewed the footage, and the onix guarding the path just... turned around?
@@Whacko2They are notoriously afraid of ants.
@@Whacko2I think the glitch was Smant finished the first puzzle and then decided to talk to the onix anyways, making the puzzle reset, but it didn’t reset that he already completed it, so he could’ve gone on to finish the second puzzle normally without redoing the first one, but since he redid the first once, that triggered the second one to be complete
I just analyzed and fixed the bug.
It turned out that unnecessarily talking to that Onix after having solved the first room did reset the room, but not the game state (which already had the room cleared). By solving the first room again (with deactivated NPCs btw) the game thought the second room was already clear when he entered that.
Funny it was him that happened to find this :D
@@wiz_1989Do you find it funny that the person who creates puzzle rooms is the one who breaks the rooms the most? It's like watching a magician.
Hasty pulling out the Emerald guide that she won in last to leave Hoenn to interpret the Braille message was iconic😂
Whacko, this is Officer Jenny. Let the RUclipsrs be free
They will never be free!
Whoever decided to use the Dark Chronicle/Cloud 2 music at 11:30 is the best, thank you
The very beginning also has dark cloud 1’s end credits theme
The next challenge should be one where three other RUclipsrs go against SmallAnt. It's not fair to pit regular Pokemon streamers against a man whose job is to play video games twenty-six hours a day.
It's literally Poke RUclipsrs vs Smallant, a variety streamer who definitely plays less pokemon than these Nuzlocke professionals who play POKEMON nuzlockes 27 hours a day
@@GangTaylorWizFlygonHG actually has a job at Boston University
@@alphagroudon2is he a lecturer?
@@christianfelix1869 He was for 2 semesters, but he’s just a graduate research assistant now, according to his LinkedIn
@@alphagroudon2Does he? Since when? As what?
Smant continuously breaking the game is just so on brand
12:42 I'm gonna need you to retry that pronunciation
appreciate you giving me a second chance🤝
BWAHAHAHA!! YOU FELL FOR THE CLASSIC BLUNDER!! Your criticism of the Pokémon RUclipsr's "mispronunciation" was not only anticipated, but CALCULATED!! How does it feel, knowing that you were deceived into becoming just another _number_ for the RUclipsr? That you were reduced into nothing but a _cog_ in the engagement farming machine?!! In this world, only the most cunning succeed, even if it means employing the most basic of tropes! After all, every kind of bait will eventually lure _some_ poor fish! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
@@amberhernandez no u
Ant always finds someway to brute force it
If Small ant's in any competition other's are fighting for 2nd place XD
And this is why it's SmallantOne
It’s a cool concept but this video is nearly impossible to follow. I don’t think you can compress a multiple hour event done by 4 people into 18 minutes without it feeling like a lot is being lost. Where are most of these pokemon from? Why was finding a poke ball a big deal when it seems like people just have however many pokemon they need? Why does flygon have pokemon below his gameplay? I’m so lost :(
I definitely chopped up some of the cave puzzle, so there are chunks missing there. The 18 minutes part was tough. I just rewatched so I could think about this comment, and I definitely think I presented the information you're asking about BUT that doesn't mean I couldn't have been clearer!
Everyone started with Sableye and Mantyke. I do explain how each Pokemon is acquired after that, but would happily answer questions if you need clarification. Finding the Pokeball does get a little lost in its purpose, but it was for the Remoraid in the pond!
Also, Flygon had just finished playing another game, and those pokemon on the screen were his team for that haha. Had nothing to do with this escape room.
Anyways, I really appreciate your feedback, and totally accept the criticism, as this was my first edit for the channel in a LONG time. Thank you for checking it out anyways!!
Busting out the dark cloud 2 music for the start of the Archie battle. I see you have good taste. Great video. Looking forward to more
I was DYING for someone to recognize it. I appreciate this comment a ton
@@Whacko2 Literally just searched to see if anyone else had heard it. Absolutely loved those games!
Smallant found his own way in 2 different challenges and found the braille answer multiple sections early
Just put the nuzlocke on my feed bro
i need to run a new nuzlocke soon😭
@@Whacko2 I wanna finish my rom so you could give it a try
@@Whacko2 this is your channel dude post whatever YOU want I’ll still watch, your nuzlockes are my favorite tho 💯🐐
@@Whacko2would love to see a vid on emerald rogue
Smant should stop being invited to these competitions 😂 love him and he definitely generates clicks but man is too good
Now yes! This is a fantastic escape room dude! Congrats!
$350 for 1st, $100 for 2nd and $50 for 3rd is even funnier when you look at it in terms of $$/hr!
1st, 2nd and 3rd final times were 1:46:10, 3:02:59, and 5:12:47 respectively. Although 20 minutes was added to 3rds time from using a hint meaning his actual in game time was really 4:52:47.
Therefore each participants hourly rate was as followed:
1st- $197.80 /hr
2nd- $32.79 / hr
3rd- $10.25 / hr
To put why I found this interesting enough to spend an hour doing math on my iPhone calculator and writing this: 1st made 6x in terms of $$/hr compared to 2nd, while only making 3.5x as much money as 2nd! What’s even more wild is that 1st made 19.3x what 3rd made in $$/hr despite only making 7x 3rd’s total $$!!! Finally, although somewhat anticlimactic, 2nd received 3.2x 3rd in $$/hr but only 2x in total $$.
Prob wasn’t worth my time or your time reading this so I in hind sight apologize…
Let's freaking goooo baby! So far Whacko, your editing is great my dude!
Smallant is the living embodiment of "task failed successfully"
only tangentially related to the contents of the vid lol but
i’m obsessed that there were three different instances of music from the Dark Cloud series in this vid 👀
my childhood self is so happy when I'm able to include it
Smallant really clutched that last fight with brut force 😂😂
love the occasional whacko tourney host arc we get every few months
Small ant is so good at puzzles and problem solving
Pokemon
Minecraft
Magic the gathering hes just crazy
The amount of times I’ve seen smant accidentally cheese puzzles like this on different channels is ridiculous
Game looks both fun and frustrating, which sums up the escape room experience tbf
I came here after watching smant’s vod of this. I did not expect that massive time difference.
11:47 my god! Its the song from Dark Chronicles. What a throwback
Came here after watching Smant's vod...surprised you didn't include when he got all snarky about cutting the grass, then predicted it, and was...nonplussed.
You skipped over way too much for this to be engaging. I don't know how Drew was last place after the Slowking, when he was the only one who you showed beating it and the only strat you explained and even praised.
Appreciate you checking the video out!
I did have to work around some footage issues, but i agree that i could have shown more competitors getting over certain obstacles.
I talk about it more in other comments, but I tried not to spoil too many solutions in an effort to still make the room enjoyable for people who wanted to try it out. I believe that to be a mistake now haha.
Thank you for the comment Covereye!
SmallAnt is just too good.
Smant just built different
I don't know why you don't have more subs tbh. Great content as always man.
smant is the friend you have test something to find all the glitches, he just sniffs them out
Was smant the only one that beat the cramorant first to prevent the rest flute looping?
Alright, smallant is in this competition, ggs on your victory!
Started by finding the solution to a later puzzle buried in the Pokédex, consistently stays ahead of the pack, breaks a puzzle, and finally beats Archie in the most degenerate and unintended way possible. Smant is a menace to society and needs to be stopped
Love the streams and content man. Keep it up. Hopefully we’ll get a winning run and bun going. You deserve a lot more subs
...Jyaruhdos?
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
8:57 I'm almost halfway through the video. I didn't get to see the cave puzzle at all nor the revelations of competitors as they figure out how to solve other puzzles. Often, just 1 was showcased.
Additionally, i am having trouble following the process for the Wonder Guard fight. The inserted clip of Smallant has him talking to his audience, who has probably seen him fail this fight before and has context. I have no idea why he's doing anything.
I understand you didn't want to make the video overly long, but I feel like so much content was cut that is impacting the viewing experience for a viewer not familiar with this escape room.
Edit: finished the video. A lot was also cut between the braille pokedex and Archie.
Overall good video. I think it could be improved with more footage
Thank you for the feedback Zack!!
I think I did a good job showcasing the runners and their personalities/fun moments, but failed to show the solutions to the puzzles the way I think people wanted to see them. I guess I just thought people would want to check out the actual Escape Room on their own? But I've come to the conclusion that those people probably didn't watch the video until after they tried it anyways, and those that didn't have time to try it on their own would have loved to have been a part of the brilliant strategies that these individuals came up with, which I could have provided by showing it on screen.
I'll be more cautious of that with the next Escape Room video I do. Again, I really appreciate the feedback.
@@Whacko2 something I have seen other youtubers do is include timestamps to skip spoilers(like just add "skip to x:xx to skip spoilers" on the video) :) great video otherwise!
@@jijixd thank u jiji! This is a fun idea actually, might have to go for it next time around🥳
I'm a simple man, new Whacko video & I click it
I got softlocked darn near immediately because I didn't catch a remoraid before they disappeared, and my mantyke was too low level to fight the trainer past the first tree. You get basically 0 exp from fighting the farfetches so unless I wanted to grind for 4 hours to level up 1 time, I instantly dropped the escape room. It even proclaims you can't get softlocked in it and dont need to level grind
I had a hard time figuring out who was in the lead at various points in the video, including at the end i didn't understand the order they placed in
I definitely edited this to make it seem closer than it was, but I did have each runner read out their times! Smant was about 1 hour 45 minutes, Drxx was about 3 hours, Flygon was about 5 hours 15 minutes, and Hasty didn't finish the final battle.
I appreciate you watching the video! Thank you for checking out the channel and dropping a comment! :)
I skipped watching the video to try the game for myself but i got tired of it crashing when going to the pokedex. Also a nice touch for the game would be to just automatically push boulders instead of asking every time and confirming to use strength. It's very annoying otherwise.
First. Thanks fabletics
TRUE
lol it’s not fair to put small ant vs anyone. He is way too smart
wait wtf your pants photoshoot is fire
thank u pp :)
Smallant can't lose Pokémon challenge races
i wish this was like an hour long. i feel like i didnt actually watch them play. are there vods of these somewhere?
Is there a full video of Smallant running this so I can find out what the first glitch he did was? I'm so curious.
if you're still curious he finally uploaded his pov on his vod channel. ruclips.net/video/Sw3CVsWpd7U/видео.html
Everyone stfu new whacko video dropped
Every body but Pokémon challenges 💀
Love the fabletics sponsor. Would love to see you rocking them rather than just super handsome models.
loved the livestream and challenge, kudos! unfortunately, dont think the video does it all justice; from a narrative standpoint, I think it'd be better if you introduced a section of the escape room, explained the logic behind solving it and then showing us how each approached it. currently, the real challenge doesnt shine through and the video kinda just breezes through it
Appreciate you leaving a comment and dropping feedback! This was my first edit I did myself in MONTHS, so I have some learning to do haha! I definitely towed a line between trying to explain how the escape room was completed, and trying to leave some wiggle room for people to figure it out themselves if they decided to try it on their own! This video became more of a montage of highlights, with some of the strategies unveiled. I am always trying to get better, and I will absolutely be thinking about this if I opt to run another Escape Room competition in the future :)
@@Whacko2 appreciate you taking this feedback so well, respect that a lot and you've definitely won me over as a viewer with that itself. Looking forward to future videos :)
Love the Dark Cloud music
Smallant being Smallant!!
Editor man stays winning on this one
5 hours is crazy
Man went and put together the nuzlocking goats for this. Dammit what a strong field. Shame pchal couldn't come through, otherwise it'd have been a five of a kind.
Is SmallAnt a nuzlocker though? He barely does them and even he himself said he don't considers himself a nuzlocker because he barely did any
@@julesvr5205he is (at the time of me posting this comment), 4 badges into his first Run and Bun Nuxlocke attempt.
Plus he has also done quite a bit ofkaizo ironmon.
His main reasoning for not doing nuzlockes is he doesnt really see much of a challenge in it, as his brain works them out like puzzles just like an escape room for instance. The repitiveness is why he doesnt frequently do nuzlockes, but instead finds new challenges, such as escape rooms or challenge runs that randomize your team after every battle or a romhack where every rng thing is stacked against you, etc. Nuzlockes become too predictible when you get to the point where you can read the ai as if it was a notebook and that isnt as much fun for him.
I need to know what time each person arrived at the final battle haha. Just to get a better understanding of how they were doing up until that point since it seems like that battle went on for a long time for some of them.
@@iRsemple basically 1:45, 3:00, 5:00, DNF
But that’s ingame time of course, including hint penalties and speedup which some did use eventually.
Can we have a cover of SmallAnt singing “My Way”?
Nuzlock into my veins!!
I was trying this for the life of me, and got stuck, for some reason I can’t catch a remoraid. Says the pond is all fished up. And now I can’t be the demise double battle
Why was it good for Smant that G was badly poisoned? Or did i missundersrood him?
He was happy to be badly poisoned rather than poisoned because the former starts doing 1/16 of damage on the first turn whereas the latter always does 1/8
@@mastervolg8768 perfect thanks, didnt know badly poison damage is linear but with a lower starting point than normal poison
Why do you say gyarados so wrong? It hurts
holy moly its editor man
The way he pronounces gyarados bothers me
smallant but bigbrain - damn he beat them by 1hour+
How does Smant do it? How?!
jiyarados
imagine being a pokemon youtuber and mispronouncing gyarados 10:56
It's all in good fun!! I remember being in a call with Smant at one point and saying it the "normal way". I do want to point out there is no reliable source that pronounces any of these names correct and that they are all made up LOL. ALSO, for what its worth, I have tried to scale back on the alternative pronunciations for the sake of videos haha. I didn't mean to leave this one in. Appreciate you leaving the comment, even if it was a roast
Smallant is soooo cool
GO HASTY GO
That was gaming
Why are we still saying "jyarados" in 2024
Hey, you lost me around minute 6, since you just skipped information and I couldn't understand what was going on.
Each escape room is like a story with steps, you skip a step, you lise viewers, better luck next time
Except this video is less about the escape room, and more about the competition surrounding it.
Also, its also meant as an advertisement to play the escape room yourself
@@collector8502 this!
Spoiler protection
SmAnt goat
15:40 Wait, you didn't make this but a 3rd person? Should have made that clearer, credit them! Even in the description, you only see who made it after you click on the 'THE ESCAPE ROOM' link.
Huh? Wiz made it! I credit them in the first 10 seconds of the video (in my opinion, very clearly) and have their Escape Room in the description. I find it important to give credit where credit is due!
@@Whacko2 Ah, I see it in the first 10 seconds now. As I watched this video, that completely went over my head, probably since it was still muted from ads. Though I would still name the creator in the description.
The hourly rates rounded were 350/hr for smant 50/hr for dr3w 10/hr for flygon roughly
It is going to sound bad, but in this type of videos the results are:
-Smallant wins
-The girl is last or second last
Edit: Well shit i was right
Oh my god he’s such a chef
im here too early
Ok but why is hasty so pretty-
first
so close
You do a terrible job of telling stories.
Completely missing context, glossing over critical details, presenting info out of order, and providing bare minimum explanations of each challenge. Do better.
HAHA
This is just mean LOL
@@Whacko2 I urge you to watch PointCrow’s recent Pokémon escape room video. Every puzzle is thoroughly explained and the process of deduction is well documented.
You never explain how SmallAnt skipped the puzzle. You didn’t show each player finding the first pokeball so I have to assume. You showed the solution to the Rhyhorn puzzle 3 minutes into the video and then completely gloss over the puzzle entirely 7 minutes later (I still have no clue what the players ACTUALLY did to solve that one). Your explanation of the solution to the final double assumes a strong baseline of Pokémon knowledge (how many casual viewers know mold breaker) and lacks a visual aid.
It genuinely feels like I wasted my time watching this video. Great content idea but the video itself feels like a minimally edited livestream.
I made deliberate decisions with editing! I've explained in a couple other comments why I made the decisions I did, but here are my thoughts:
- I edited this to showcase my friends' skills, and didn't really intend on breaking down how each obstacle worked within the race! This is because I was worried about spoiling the solutions if people wanted to try it out themselves. I realize now that this was a mistake, as people want to see solutions, so that will be better in upcoming escape room videos!
- This was my first edit on the channel, so there were flaws and things I had to work on! I had 48 hours to turn this from footage into a video, and released something I was proud of. I have to live with the result haha!
As for your comment about casual viewers needing more info, I think that's something that I should have considered as well! I'm so used to putting out hardcore nuzlocke content, and I think more casual pokemon enjoyers deserved to be able to engage in this.
I would appreciate if your words were kinder and more constructive than just "you do a terrible job of telling stories". Still, I am grateful you watched the video and hope you stick out the next one
@@Whacko2 Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation of your thought process.
1. Admittedly, I hadn't considered that some people may want to try the puzzle themselves. However, I'd imagine those people would simply avoid watching the video so a detailed breakdown would make for an entertaining video.
2. My mistake! I saw that the channel already had 50k+ subscribers and a steady stream of viewers so I expected a higher quality of video. It was dumb of me to be so demanding.
3. Again, I wasn't familiar with your usual content so my comments were misplaced. Even still, I think being more friendly to casual enjoyers would make for more widely engaging content.
I SINCERELY apologize for how rude I was in my original comment. I was very frustrated because I spent tons of time OUTSIDE of the video to figure out how each puzzle worked (especially the double battle solution). I may enjoy Pokemon escape room videos but I took this too seriously. I'll try to be kinder and not let my frustrations out on fellow creators.
