The Legend of Zackray: The Ultimate Wildcard
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2022
- Before Sparg0 and Kola, competitive Smash had a different young prodigy, Zackray. From the beginning of Ultimate's life, it was clear that Zackray had realized something very few top players had, that sticking with a single character isn't always ideal. Join us as we take you through Zackray's competitive history and the tournament that cemented him as Smash Ultimate's Wildcard.

He’s practiced 10,000 kicks 10,000 times each
Only for a teammate to fall asleep during the most important part of his life 😭😭😭
Lol. That’s sad. I practiced 1 kick Ten thousand times. Hold my beer
@@koenbee8835 what happened?
@@garorade zack got disqualified from a 1million dollar pokemon unite tournament
@@koenbee8835 that's hella unfortunate
This intro is one of my favorite intros I’ve ever seen for any form of media
As a Japanese I’m rly happy that you made a video solely on zackray, the kid is an undeniable smash prodigy
I miss him
@@janswhatsupdoc we all do
@@janswhatsupdoc he announced he’s coming back
@@sadcrab6586 yay
@@sadcrab6586 🎉 🎈 🎊
I like this focus on Zackray. He’s a really good player and one I have enjoyed watching since the beginning of Ultimate.
This was REALLY well made, from the graphics, to audio design, to everything! The music choice for the ending, the graphics drawn to build up suspense, the narration, everything. Certainly the best video made on this channel, and just props to everybody who helped make this. I couldn't even tell that the video was 35 minutes long, and now I want more! Serious props to everybody who helped make this video.
Side Note: I wish I could donate some money to this video, because it was just so well made and deserves it! I can't promise much, but I really think that this is worth my money.
This channel is so good… like it’s a hidden gem
The only person with more chars than Zackray is Rizeasu.
I hope he comes back to Smash. People have been mad downplaying Joker ever since Zackray went on hiatus
He’s coming back during August iirc
@@okayperson3041 I think he said September but hopefully I’m wrong and it is August
Stroder got mad characters too!
He's coming back now since his team disbanded after one of the teammates overslept for the qualifiers.
@@MeatOfJustice any evidence for that?
The WCS qualifiers will be held today and tomorrow, Japan time. I want him to win, but I also want him to lose. That is because if he lose, he will be back.
Zackray has won majors with 8 characters (not including Sonic.) Out of those 8, he's considered the best in the world at ROB, Wolf, and Joker if you don't count Leo. How in the hell do you become the best in the world at 3 different characters???
Someone on a different video’s comment section said Protobanham has recently stated that while Leo and Zackray both play ROB very differently, Leo’s ROB is on par with Zackray’s. I don’t necessarily know where they got this information, but if it’s true then that’s kind of insane.
These longer form video essays are easily the best things you guys put out.
incredibly well made video. entertaining all the way through, 30 minutes just flew by.
these videos are gold the production is crazy👏
I am a huge fan of these deep dives into specific top players! I would love to see more of these!
that animation for the upsmash read was so fire, great video
Thank you for giving us something I didn’t know I wanted until now. We miss you zackray
This video and its production is incredible.
once zackray play other character,the players of character certainly get inspired by his play
I didn't stick with him for too long cause everyone liked him up eventually. But he made me wanna play rob. So fun.
This is a masterpiece especially with the persona music at the end. Beautiful almost documentary, I wish to one day have one of these made on me
I'm glad this is FINALLY getting the attention it deserves. One of the greatest Smash feats ever and they didnt even mention Zackray winning doubles as well with 3 more characters.
Incredible breakdown. This was really interesting. I wish we could get some top players to react to it to add more info/context as they usually do. This was so well made
This video learned me something very important. Don’t be to much in your head about what character you need to main and just play whoever you want.
Zackray is like the summoner archetype in a fighting game or MOBA: He just summons his to do his work for him
On point, since he's also a professional Pokemon Unite player.
@@Michael-cg5qn Summons his
@@rayless that doesn't help.
@@Michael-cg5qn persona
@@linkonedgell894 It's not meant to. What he summons changes depending on the set, so we can't specify what he summons-
Love that we are getting in depth player breakdowns at PGStats, looking forward to whateveer else you guys come up with
13:51, he is reading a book about how to be black
These videos are some of the highest quality iʻve ever seen and theyʻre about smash lol. So good
This was probably the best video to ever come from this channel!
wow this was amazing. Miss watching Zackray and hope he will come back in the next pgr season
I am not 100% sure.
But today his pokemon united team missed the qualifier for the pokemon unite championship and I heard this team will disbanded.
So there is a high chance that zackray will be back soon
What an amazing video! Was captivated the entire time 👊🏻🔥
Loving the longer content :D
Amazing video, well done! I found it very interesting and informative.
Watching this video makes me even more impressed of Mkleo’s dominance over pros like Zackray lol!
Leo really is the stone wall for a number of top players like Zackray who have #1 potential
I'm always so surprised these in depth analyses don't get a million views. This video's production, graphs, analysis, and storytelling are AMAZING!! Please keep making more videos!! Don't be afraid to clickbait if you think it will help bring more people in haha!
Finally finished watching the video. Kid is the smash master. Hope he continues to give ultimate more time and dedication as he’s the big name from Japan
This video was very well put together
The quality of this video is just amazing
Nice to hear walt here and in galint gaming, keep it up Walt!
What a doc. Amazing content jesus
Love how you made this and he posted about competing again shortly after.
I love that we have a channel like this in the community
This made me love Zackray even more. My favorite Japan player
28:30 This part actually made me cry it was so beautifully made.
Yes
I definitely miss watching Zackray play Smash. But I'm glad he's putting time into an actual competitive scene.
Super well made, scripted, and edited. Ty so much for making this!
This was so good!
Videos never cease to impress
Super great video, zackray deserves it
These are so good, wow
I love these videos so much
What timing, this video released just three days before Zackray's return to competitive Smash!
28:30 this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen
Was it done strictly because it would be cool, or is it covering for production/stream issues/technical difficulties? I guess I could go check the set here on yt...
Edit: set looks fine. Cool for cool's sake it is.
God seeing the gameplay shown as a black and white outlined animation is just too cool
What's interesting about two of the players you mentioned, Marss and Maister, is that they both have been playing a lot of secondaries. Marss has been playing much more joker, and Maister has been stubbornly trying to make sora work
QUALITY CONTENT!! HOLY SHIT
Honestly one of my favorite players and i wish the ROB combos going from one side of the stage to the other every game. Even watching him go against comboheavy players you had no clue who would get 0-100% combod
Seeing Nairo's chart end in 2020 is really saddening. He had a great competitive career ahead of him. I'd love to see him compete again, but he (at least publicly) doesn't want to return to the scene.
I'm glad we're at least able to talk about him though
He can't compete because twitch still has him banned, and that means he can't play on a tournament's twitch stream. I think he actually would compete if he could.
@@andrewrichardson625 I'm aware of the twitch ban thing, however he also has a command in his chat that says he doesn't want to compete anymore and it's used whenever someone asks if he'll ever come back. Still being banned on twitch is dumb, but who knows maybe twitch will finally die and all the streaming will be done on YT at some point.
@@andrewrichardson625 Why was he banned?
@@ElariaFlori Initial controversy put Nairo in the bad side, Twitch banned him, the truth came out and the ban just never got put off. It's sad, but it makes some sort of sense- talk about how he was in the bad got way more attention than the talk about him being the victim
What a great video
Christ what the hell is this animation??? Had to sub immediately wtf
These videos deserve Oscars for best documentary.
This was so good, these analysis come story/documentary videos are amazing. Top work
I’ve respected this dude from day one and he’s still my no. 1 favorite player of all time, which makes his hiatus foray into Pokémon unite make me that more sad
he is coming back soon!
Great vid!!!!!!!
Overwhelming nostalgia because I watched till the end
I loved the graphs
Dude the animation at 28:30 is gorgeous
I've got no idea how PGstats has the budget for these insane animations
This video is absolutely amazing
Good video 👍🏻
This guy is the absolute chad I've always wanted to be but never could.
Who's here after Zackray's Pit?
I enjoy watching Zackray’s gameplays
Damn the timing with Zackray's potential return to Smash after what happened to his team
I was disappointed with the bad news of Pokemon Unite, too.
Zackray's made an effort for half a year, but repents having done not put it up on the stage.
We who are his fan are grieved that we were not able to look at his effort and contents.
This video kept on gathering up the crystal of his effort vividly at the moment.
How do you think this video to influence it?
It becomes his vitality and thinks that it is too enough to raise the passion of the fan expecting his return ! XD
Beautiful content you have here, hope you are having a nice day ... LIKE 2 💕🤩
It was a great documentary, at least what I felt, and good to know about Zackray since he hasn't been competing that much lately.
OMG I have been looking for some stupidly analytical smash bros content
Oh this is some good stuff
i miss this channel
Finally Zackray is back,,,,,!!
banger vid
Waiting for a vid on T’s Kongo Saga run in 2019 that Link mains still cherish to this day
The beginning of this video was transcendent.
He’s a really good unite player
Pg stats you guys are goated
ザクレイの配信って色んなキャラ使ってサムネになってたりするけど、確かにあんなこと彼にしかできないことなのか...!
I await his return to claim the crown as the king of Japan...
The infamous Protobanham Steve what a shoutout to one of smash creates mystery
I hope zackray comes back to compete soon, his joker was insanely good
Pgstats is my current anime of choice
Zackray is one of 4 people in Smash Ultimate history who could have peaked at # 1 in the world if it weren't for a certain Mexican dude. Considering the story from 2018 to the present, Zackray, Tweek, Samsora and Sparg0 are the only people who could have considered themselves No. 1 in the world at any given time had it not been for Leo. This hints at how crazy Leo is, no matter what new talent he shows up, he is always ready to shatter his dreams of glory.
Well, Sparg0 is another mexican dude, so now people have to dethrone 1st and 2nd place from Mexicans. Gluto and Light are pretty close tho
@@GonSSB Spargo is currently taking an indefinite hiatus at the moment, put a twitlonger out
It’s crazy how out of those players, Zackray is the only one who has never taken a set off Leo, that’s not to take anything away from Zackray, because in my opinion, in all of Ultimate, peak Zackray is second or third in the world, it just goes to show how crazy Leo is
Wow that was really something
It’s so fitting that Zackray is a Joker main/comain because of P5
P5 focuses a lot on tarot cards, each representing a different arcana and confidant (which benefits you in the game). The person who gave Joker his powers and considered him to be this saviour is the Fool arcana (beginning of the video)
Also in the first palace, when deciding a name for Joker, Morganna says Joker because he’s the leader, so he represents a wildcard or trump card (like how Zackray is the wildcard who dominates)
Finally, Joker is the only character who can have multiple personas in the game (which is like how Zackray can pilot so many characters and be #1 in Japan with so many)
Zackray is the like vaxei (osu player) of ultimate. No matter what he plays, he is always good and will storm through bracket
He is my favorite player by far.....and he made me want to play ROB
What an amazing mini documentary! This is such premium content. Nairo when?
Holy shit, these opening graphics are beyond next level, goddamn.
Zachery isn't just a polymorph. He plays poker while everyone else is playing blackjack. He isn't just counting cards, he's dealing them.
I never knew Smash Ultimate could be so strategic. I never saw losses as opportunities. The few players who do? They're dangerous. Truly dangerous.
Zackray is literally the Avatar of ultimate
good video
帰ってくるぞ、ザクレイが
Okay now I want Rizeasu to win a JP major
Can’t wait till mans comes back to the smash scene. It will be crazy if he’s been secretly grinding out Steve all this time Lmao
Tweeks Joker too add that on the list on the side
