bkc using his extensive experience in playing competitive mons and his love for cinema to perfectly describe the feeling of empty success with 20 seconds of not speaking wasn't something I expected when I woke up today.
"Bloo had that thing about not making any public enemies" Man They do sure sound like a strong and uplifting part of the community free from any controversies thereafter!
@@HugeZorseIn like 2015 bloo had an alt account called style and no one knew it was bloo so she would enter tournaments with the style account a purposefully give bad info to the people she was going to play with the style account

thanks a bunch for being mindful of the slurs and such and keeping them out the videos, or at least giving a heads up at the start. helps a lot to see the community grow past that shit

I would imagine that the 6v6 singles community has gotten older because people who got into it when they were younger in like the late 2000s/early 2010s either stopped at some point or kept playing, and the ones who kept playing are raising the mean. As time goes the older players are getting older, but the youngest new players are around the same age (probably like 10-14 I'd imagine). Also I think that young competitive players are funneling into VGC doubles more than 6v6 singles nowadays, so that's also probably a part of it with respect to the 6v6 singles community. I don't really have hard data to support this, just a speculative argument. E: I saw you responded to somebody else about this lol.
Blaaaaaggh, I hate getting spoiled right as I'm getting invested in something!! Ten minutes in and I already know the outcome 😪 That said, I've a feeling this one will be more about the journey, not the destination.
I remember making my smogon account as soon as I was 13 and playing online in HGSS a little before that. I def agree with BKC that a lot of people being more high school age on avg was more of a thing back in the day
Kevin, a lot of people have delusions that are very precious to them, and they will attack anyone that threatens them. How many people think they're millionaires in waiting, for example? The difference with your date however, is that she's honest with you, and with herself. That's huge imo
Sweep was finals not semis. Also don’t forget Tesung beat Tamahome R1 and Soulwind in semis too, probably the most difficult path to a STour trophy ever (and both Bloo and Soulwinds friends had some luck / matchup complaint or excuse of course. Think CBB was also trying to say something ridiculous like ‘Tesung only beat Tamahome bc he choked, he didn’t even play well’

How was the Shaymin “hax” on Clef that big of a deal? 40% to drop and dropped twice out of 4 Seed Flares before finishing with the 5th. If he didn’t get that 2nd drop, it would have been a 25% drop rate off of a 40% chance… And no one wants to talk about the Clef just praying for misses, no drops, and no crits? Controversy should have never existed. Players were absolutely nuts back in the day.
From an outside perspective the whole thing is silly / childish, happy it occurs less now. It boils down to people getting butthurt over basic game mechanics as usual while yelling "HAX" or such
honestly the girl being up front about needing her delulus supported is so real for that. at least the low stakes ones. let me believe my cookies are amazing even if we both know, deep down, that they're actually mid. let me have this

What do you do afterwards? You can shit talk more and that applies to both sides
I started loosing it at the end!! Beautiful writing as always BKC.
Good times both never have beaten me though

Oooou that first replay chat WAS powerful 😂😂
“The average age of the playerbase was lower”
BKC discovers the concept of the progression of time
maybe you can discover the concept of the word playerbase
(also the average player coming in is much older now, that is the difference)
@@BKCplaysPokemonfair lmao that was a stupid typo

Used to do monotype leagues on the side servers back in oras, clan stuff always so cute to think back on haha good times

they kept getting deleted lmfaoo the main one i remember was frost @@crazystevy9228
just seems like less beef because stricter moderation and most of it's moved to discord (aka private) but its still there and its still juicy
