Even after the end of the Best Friends, the Fisticuffs remains to remind me of the better times. The times I could feel excited on Fridays because 4 Canadian weirdos who I somehow felt this strange connection too would just pop in a fighting game and go to town, and you could feel for just a moment that you could be in that room with them laughing along.
No one will see this, but here I go. This channel remains as one of my favorites. These 4 were friends I wish I had, constantly making me feel better during stressful times and getting me excited about the games I love. You guys did more than you realize and it’s sad to see it end but everything does eventually.
Learning to perform fighting game inputs is like learning to type, or how to play a musical instrument. Hence entry level problems for new players. You really need friends at the same skill level, or you're just going to hate playing, especially against AI. Like me! I really like the *idea* of fighting games. Love the idea, in fact. But that's why I have a dusty guitar in the corner of my room with my farmer's hat hanging off of it. It shall never be.
Same could be said for my Arcade Stick. Fucking staring into my soul eating away at me "Why it had to be you, "owner", why you? Why did you pick ME?" I need more friends into the FGC in Portugal...
Atepethi none of my friends liek to play with me at fighting games cuz they dont like playing them and most times when we actually play i end up blowing them out
I feel like the best way to enter the Competitive Fighting Game Circuit is pretend the Yakuza have your daughter. Woolie, please, if you ever go up against Daigo again, I need you to say "I will defeat you Daigo, not for me, BUT FOR MARIKO! Daddy's coming, sweetheart!"
Just watched. Might wanna tweak that audio just a BIT. Also Vanessa is the SECOND best KOF character. Behind Angel. I can't believe you guys didnt even MENTION her. Shameful display.
Implying I wouldn't drop everything for Beni. Cmon now son, cmon now. but seriously though THE PEOPLES' ELBOW. How can you possibly NOT love Angel. besides her voice
I wish I knew something about fighting games but I enjoyed watching all the same. Cool idea for a series, guys. You guys seemed to really enjoy it, too.
*Dat intro tho*: Best Friends gathered around a bonfire on a tropical beach at midnight, stars out; with fite games in one hand, beer in the other, giant projectors and screens in front hooked up to an SUV with a generator and ice cooler in the trunk and blasting summer house music! And a random rainbow disco ball
I hardly know anything about him and even I know that Terry is a bad-ass. Perhaps I'm just bias because he looks like a cross between Leon and Captain America.
I am rewatching all of these because NO OTHER series have even come close to giving you that "chillin and brawlin with the bois" more than this.. I miss you guys!
Guys, fucking do more of this. I don't particularly like playing fighting games (No one to play with,) But watching you guys all doing something that is fun for you was most entertaining. Keep it up!
I'm so glad to see this. I can't wait to watch more. I am a fan of fighting games besides having issues remembering how to play characters. I'm super glad to get exposure to games I've never played, but heard of.
love this, finally some fighting games, and what better to start with than one of the greatest ever - Garou Now SNK, when you gonna start making Garou Mark of the Wolves 2 who the hell disliked the video, this shoulkd never be disliked
I havent had time to check out the channel since my daughter was born (about 2 years) but I want to thank you guys for doing what you do! You guys havent changed and still crack me up
Everything about this is great! The opening is fantastic and the conversation is very good. Though I've wanted this for a while and I even posted it on the fb. The difference is I wanted them to play street fighter forever.
Ok indie game developers take note: when the first TBFP fighting game comes out, Pat's super move should be accompanied with the default battle cry "FUCK YOU!"
Wouldn't it be a SBFP fighting game? Or wait, are Woolie and Liam-senpai not invited to be in it? Also, FUCK YES, a TBFP (or SBFP) fighting game would be the hypest shit!
Finally! God, i thought they would never do anything like this even though they talk about fighting games all the time! Now all they need to do is a LP of Shadow of the colossus and i can die happy c:
That intro felt like some cheesy 90s Sega CD game with live-action cutscenes where the actors talk directly to 'you' as the camera. I guess that's what they were going for.
FUCK YES!!! Watching you guys play is just like being at my old arcade back in the 90's when people would crowd around the Super SFII Turbo, Primal Rage, X-Men COTA, Tekken 2, Virtua Fighter and Night Warriors machines. Now all you guys need to do is have the fucking DAYYYYYY-TOOOOOOOO-NAAAAAAAA repeating in the background to complete the effect. It's almosy as much fun watching and listening to you guys play as it is to play the games. 14/10 Kudos guys! My new fav series for the BFP Zaibatsu. WHEN'S MAHVEL!!?
If you keep this series up, it would be nice to see who was playing when. Like a little image of you in the corner of the screen. Or a tiny facecam for each player. In this episode it was very difficult to know who was playing at any given time.
Fun to watch, all I can say is maybe have some text at the bottom to make it easier to keep up with who's playing who because I kept having to go back to figure out who was which player.
Guys, I am LOVING this new segment/series of the show! It's pretty damn hype! And that series intro? NAILED IT!! I hope to at least become decent at fighters one day...(The only one I'm actually really good at so far is Super Street Fighter II: Turbo Revival on GBAsp) but until then, keep dem episodes coming!
anarchovelo Fuck you I like Nuzlocke because it relies alot on the back and forth between Matt, Woolie and Liam and a good amount of rap/wrestlemania references.
I should've stated that better because it's not a matter of disliking the nuzlocke series, it's just that usually in a week it switches between games. The only other game that went up this week was TWAU and I'm not watching that because I want to play it unspoiled.
I was looking for some hidden gem fighting games to play and remembered this old "Friday Night Fisticuffs" series from SBFP. Damn, I haven't seen this intro in so long... Crazy this was 10 years ago.
Salex Ikusa Is it not back on it? It's got some of the downloadable stuff on the website. Thought they would have added it back in by now. Though there is the PC version of it, Beta as well (where you can actually play Big Band.)
with Street Fighter 6 just dropping and totally reinvigorating my FGC spirit, i wanted to come back here and let yall know that Friday Night Fisticuffs was a moving force in my 6 button cult indoctrination. Thank you.
Oh man, that intro is so good, I love it! I'm also really glad you guys are doing this, as not only will it help me get back into fighting games (even though i'm totally not as good as any of you guys), but it will also serve as a nice replacement for the mailbag, since it's ending, and the brawls, which I don't know if they are ever coming back but i'm pretty happy with this taking its place. It's also a sort of spiritual succesor to fighterpedia, which yes, I did watch.
Fisticuffs Number One. Ahhh :) It's been a year and a half since this series was started and I still find myself re-watching it from here time and again. When the Zaibatsu have good things to say about good games, it literally puts more faith in video games back in my heart-- faith that modern corporations threaten regularly, which just gets tiring to guard my heart against every day. Thank you so much for this series Best Friends, it honest-to-god allows me to survive for the long haul.
I'm going to miss this bunch. A lot.
And this was the beginning of a glorious 4 and a bit year series.
It's ended now, but thank you.
Even after the end of the Best Friends, the Fisticuffs remains to remind me of the better times. The times I could feel excited on Fridays because 4 Canadian weirdos who I somehow felt this strange connection too would just pop in a fighting game and go to town, and you could feel for just a moment that you could be in that room with them laughing along.
It's why they're so beloved and missed.
It's real proof that their friendship was real and alive at one point, but nothing lasts forever.
@@spacepimpkevin1184 Amen to that. And you can just tell how much fun they had together here as well as in Scrublords. And in their LP's too!
this fisticuffs set the tone for all future fisticuffs with Woolie picking the boss characters and Liam picking the little girl characters
HOW DOES WOOLIE HAVE THE BALLS TO COMPLAIN WHEN THEY CALL HIM OUT ON IT?
PolarPhantom
It took my 4 years to find the answer. And it’s because he’s a big baby lol.
No one will see this, but here I go. This channel remains as one of my favorites. These 4 were friends I wish I had, constantly making me feel better during stressful times and getting me excited about the games I love. You guys did more than you realize and it’s sad to see it end but everything does eventually.
i see this
I remember this@@OliveRabbit-un7mm
You have been seen and I agree with you ❤
Even tho they arent together we still have theyre memories and ours
I'll see it. Even after all this time I still like to come back to this channel and watch these guys play some fighters.
Hello darkness my super best friend I've come to rewatch you again....
I'm still in mourning :(
OvieKovy always
It’s the sound of boss characters
@@OvieKovy still?
@@marrowyoutube It shall never surrender
Pat: "Nothing would make me happier than if King Of Fighters XIV would drop and fucking Geese is there!"
Oh, man... Ooooh, boy!
Learning to perform fighting game inputs is like learning to type, or how to play a musical instrument. Hence entry level problems for new players.

I need more friends into the FGC in Portugal...
Oh hi Plague
Atepethi none of my friends liek to play with me at fighting games cuz they dont like playing them and most times when we actually play i end up blowing them out
Super Best Friends Teach Plague how to play Fighting games.
Don't worry Plague, your not the only one turn off by fight games.
That is the smoothest intro ever in RUclips history. Hands down.
"how about rotating those characters"
"that's what I'm about to do"
*both choose repeat characters*
I feel like the best way to enter the Competitive Fighting Game Circuit is pretend the Yakuza have your daughter. Woolie, please, if you ever go up against Daigo again, I need you to say "I will defeat you Daigo, not for me, BUT FOR MARIKO! Daddy's coming, sweetheart!"
Give Woolie back his son.
Give Woolie back his Hulk doll.
Terms I haven't heard since I was 17 that are in this video: "Lamer" and "Lemon fanfic".
Mmmm, lemon...
We didn't know how good we had it back in the day.
You forget how FUCKING LOUD fighting games are until you hear them again.
That intro is great. Really makes the viewer feel like they're a part of the action.
Yeah, it's super HYPE, though.
I think this is my new favorite series. First episode, but I love the intro, the feel, and the competition between all of you.
"Nothing would make me happier than for KOF XIV to drop and for Geese to be in it." Psychic Pat back at it again.
For everyone asking, the opening song is "This Is True Love We're Makin" from Capcom vs SNK 2.
Rhys L If by love you mean "hitting each other with fireballs".
The opening is super hype, tho.
Man, that intro is one of the best things they've done.
I was literally just thinking the other day "I wish they would do some fighting game oriented series and play Garou". You guys are the greatest.
With this series, does this mean we'll FINALLY see some Skullgirls?
SKULL GIIRRRRRRRLS
muh muh muh muh MURDA MUSIK!
Really liking that classy intro to the episode by the way guys. Keep up the great work!
All of the best friends gathered? To play FITIN GAEMS?
This truly has to be the hypest gathering of friends on youtubes.
They should play the KoF where Woolie can show off his bullshit Ash.
I really REALLY hope Friday Night Fisticuffs becomes a regular thing.
And Im not even past the intro yet.
Just watched. Might wanna tweak that audio just a BIT.
Also Vanessa is the SECOND best KOF character. Behind Angel.
I can't believe you guys didnt even MENTION her. Shameful display.
If your KoF Waifu isn't:
Vice
Mature
King
Vanessa
Elisabeth
-Benimaru-
Then you aren't classy.
Implying I wouldn't drop everything for Beni. Cmon now son, cmon now.
but seriously though THE PEOPLES' ELBOW. How can you possibly NOT love Angel. besides her voice
9:53 "Lets rotate the characters!" *picks two characters that have already been used*
Woolie is "that guy"
This is good. Isn’t it.
It is. Or it was. 😢
hypest intro on the channel
but the game audio is 2loud4me
Zanpa 8quiet6...ah fuck it.
I wish I knew something about fighting games but I enjoyed watching all the same. Cool idea for a series, guys. You guys seemed to really enjoy it, too.
God, I LOVE that intro. You guys are so awesome. Puts the "Best Friends" in... well... "Best Friends".
Rip to the greatest intro on RUclips
*Dat intro tho*: Best Friends gathered around a bonfire on a tropical beach at midnight, stars out; with fite games in one hand, beer in the other, giant projectors and screens in front hooked up to an SUV with a generator and ice cooler in the trunk and blasting summer house music!
And a random rainbow disco ball
I hardly know anything about him and even I know that Terry is a bad-ass. Perhaps I'm just bias because he looks like a cross between Leon and Captain America.
I know nothing about fighting games, and I have similar conclusions. GET SERIOUS!
Old Terry is ironically hype. Garou Terry's just hype. I thought losing the cap would be horrible, but dat jacket tho
No hype animal? Did Matt not see the majestic fucking bald eagle sitting on the log watching the fight in a dignified pose?
no animal GETTING hype
This is my first time watching this. I heard a lot about Friday Night Fisticuffs but never saw any videos.
I just want to see Woolie in his truest form...playing one of the Naruto Fighting Games. Even if you don't like the games deep down we all want this.
Holy crap, why did that opening make me feel so nostalgiac? WHY ARE YOU TAPPING INTO MEMORIES I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD, ZAIBATSU?
oh my mind please make this a common thing like VS. you guys ! so great and love the intro
This was the reason I got into Garou. Thank you guys so much 😔
Pat: 6 wins, 4 losses
Matt: 1 win, 8 losses
Woolie: 12 wins, 2 losses
Liam: 3 wins, 8 losses
Measuring power levels is fun.
the lack of hotaru hump super or w/e saddens me
Rewatching this is like witnessing the end of an era.
I am rewatching all of these because NO OTHER series have even come close to giving you that "chillin and brawlin with the bois" more than this..
I miss you guys!
The idea that someday soon we're going to get an hour of the zaibatsu playing P4Arena is making me super hype right now!!!!
I'm gonna love this series! Please keep it going for as long as possible. Watching you guys play fighting games is the hypest.
That is like the best intro ever.
It is like, you actually wanna be my buddies, lul
I really like it, it's super hype. Only we're definitely white and male, if you listen. :(
Guys, fucking do more of this. I don't particularly like playing fighting games (No one to play with,) But watching you guys all doing something that is fun for you was most entertaining. Keep it up!
I'm so glad to see this. I can't wait to watch more. I am a fan of fighting games besides having issues remembering how to play characters. I'm super glad to get exposure to games I've never played, but heard of.
love this, finally some fighting games, and what better to start with than one of the greatest ever - Garou
Now SNK, when you gonna start making Garou Mark of the Wolves 2
who the hell disliked the video, this shoulkd never be disliked
Here's an idea: Lets play a fighting game we all like, and let Woolie get first round
weird to say but the intro made it feel like i was actually hanging out with them. Pretty hype, just like the way i would spend my free time!
I want more of this series. I want all of it.
I havent had time to check out the channel since my daughter was born (about 2 years) but I want to thank you guys for doing what you do! You guys havent changed and still crack me up
So when is woolie going to be bringing out his collectors edition of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm?
Hey the 1st storm game was good.
I really, really like that intro. It's legit.
Everything about this is great! The opening is fantastic and the conversation is very good. Though I've wanted this for a while and I even posted it on the fb. The difference is I wanted them to play street fighter forever.
Ok indie game developers take note: when the first TBFP fighting game comes out, Pat's super move should be accompanied with the default battle cry "FUCK YOU!"
Accompanied by a giant purple rubber fist rising from the ground like Cody's Criminal Upper.
Wouldn't it be a SBFP fighting game? Or wait, are Woolie and Liam-senpai not invited to be in it?
Also, FUCK YES, a TBFP (or SBFP) fighting game would be the hypest shit!
Finally! God, i thought they would never do anything like this even though they talk about fighting games all the time!
Now all they need to do is a LP of Shadow of the colossus and i can die happy c:
All these unhealthy snacks, especially Oreos, killer of all gamers
...Then Diet 7Up - I loll'd.
Tizoc is basically Hawlucha in human form?
That intro felt like some cheesy 90s Sega CD game with live-action cutscenes where the actors talk directly to 'you' as the camera. I guess that's what they were going for.
Keep doing this. This pleases me.
It pleases you greatly, judging by your expression.
Holy shit the Hypelords bring it all to the table again and leave us begging for more. 10/10
I give it a 9/11 would bomb again
I like this idea guys. Good way to fill the void of Brawls.
***** No this series confirms that Liam can never be in Brawls
FUCK YES!!! Watching you guys play is just like being at my old arcade back in the 90's when people would crowd around the Super SFII Turbo, Primal Rage, X-Men COTA, Tekken 2, Virtua Fighter and Night Warriors machines. Now all you guys need to do is have the fucking DAYYYYYY-TOOOOOOOO-NAAAAAAAA repeating in the background to complete the effect. It's almosy as much fun watching and listening to you guys play as it is to play the games. 14/10
Kudos guys! My new fav series for the BFP Zaibatsu. WHEN'S MAHVEL!!?
this intro will forever be legendary, if only to me.
That opening was great. You have my blessing to do more in-depth live action snapshots like that! :D
best idea ever.... just sayin... keep this series up!!!!
Happy 10th Year Anniversary, Friday Night Fisticuffs!
Audio definitely needs some work, but other than that, yissss. I didn't even know I wanted this, but I want this a lot.
_CLICK CLICK CLACK_
Can't wait for next episode! The intro is great and it's fighting games... how can you go wrong with fighting games
Better days friends, better days.
Beautiful intro, you guys.
Single-handedly bring class back to the FGC
If you keep this series up, it would be nice to see who was playing when. Like a little image of you in the corner of the screen. Or a tiny facecam for each player. In this episode it was very difficult to know who was playing at any given time.
Friday Night Fisticuffs: Woolie Bodies the Best Friend Cast
I love this! I love this so much that I'm writing to say that I love this. Please! I need more Friday Night Fisticuffs in my life!
Fun to watch, all I can say is maybe have some text at the bottom to make it easier to keep up with who's playing who because I kept having to go back to figure out who was which player.
Let me help you, Hotaru is "probably" Liam
Man. It’s been 4 years already. I still remember watching this sophomore year of high school.
Guys, I am LOVING this new segment/series of the show! It's pretty damn hype! And that series intro? NAILED IT!! I hope to at least become decent at fighters one day...(The only one I'm actually really good at so far is Super Street Fighter II: Turbo Revival on GBAsp) but until then, keep dem episodes coming!
Happy two-year anniversary, Fisticuffs! Nearly 100 episodes of revealing the scrubs in yourselves and in all of us. Keep on rockin'.
Finally--a video that isn't the mailbag.
anarchovelo
Fuck you I like Nuzlocke because it relies alot on the back and forth between Matt, Woolie and Liam and a good amount of rap/wrestlemania references.
I should've stated that better because it's not a matter of disliking the nuzlocke series, it's just that usually in a week it switches between games. The only other game that went up this week was TWAU and I'm not watching that because I want to play it unspoiled.
Man I was waiting for this series ever since tbfp tekken tag 2, I'm all for it, good job guys
Friday Night Fisticuffs = Scrublords Season 2!
This time playing good fighting games, and with Pat and Liam.
I was looking for some hidden gem fighting games to play and remembered this old "Friday Night Fisticuffs" series from SBFP. Damn, I haven't seen this intro in so long... Crazy this was 10 years ago.
Watching this in (possible) celebration of SNK representation in Smash.
Here’s hoping, if it ain’t Metal Slug or SamSho, we get Terry or Mai.
The kind of hype video that brings you back to the 1990s!
Khushnood Butt has got to be the greatest name ever.
This was fucking great. Only thing I would like is a little display at the sides to say who is playing who.
Yeah I agree!
The real question is: WHEN'S SKULLGIRLS?
RIGHT?! You gotta show the Big Man, Big Band.
Depends on whenever Sony actually puts Encore back on PSN
Salex Ikusa
Is it not back on it? It's got some of the downloadable stuff on the website. Thought they would have added it back in by now. Though there is the PC version of it, Beta as well (where you can actually play Big Band.)
Don't forget Fukua
I was curious about the controversy so I searched "Hotaru Special" on RUclips... Why don't you?
with Street Fighter 6 just dropping and totally reinvigorating my FGC spirit, i wanted to come back here and let yall know that Friday Night Fisticuffs was a moving force in my 6 button cult indoctrination. Thank you.
Loved the intro, so friendly for once! Ha!
I'm so much more down for this than mailbag. Good replacement!
All fighting game luchadore characters are inspired by Fray Tormenta, who literally fought for children and was the inspiration for Nacho Libre.
Oh man, that intro is so good, I love it! I'm also really glad you guys are doing this, as not only will it help me get back into fighting games (even though i'm totally not as good as any of you guys), but it will also serve as a nice replacement for the mailbag, since it's ending, and the brawls, which I don't know if they are ever coming back but i'm pretty happy with this taking its place. It's also a sort of spiritual succesor to fighterpedia, which yes, I did watch.
I really enjoyed this,you guys should focus more on fighting games, it brings the hype out of you guys.
Fighting games BRAWL
I love that intro! please make this a regular series
_Friday Night Fisticuffs_ is quickly going to turn into _Woolie Destroys Everyone_.
Fisticuffs Number One. Ahhh :) It's been a year and a half since this series was started and I still find myself re-watching it from here time and again.
When the Zaibatsu have good things to say about good games, it literally puts more faith in video games back in my heart-- faith that modern corporations threaten regularly, which just gets tiring to guard my heart against every day. Thank you so much for this series Best Friends, it honest-to-god allows me to survive for the long haul.
The Best Friends are literally a corporation. A corporation literally made the game in this video.
