She was probably the only one comfortable enough to be on camera. Or she's really eager to be in a RUclips video. Or Conner and Joey are snacks and she wants a bite.
Most staff at Japanese arcades will actually do this if they see you put enough money into the machine. After a certain point they want to make sure you don't leave frustrated, and they'll set up the machine to be easier to win.
Really shows the difference between the two arcades. In this one, they didn't even have to ask. I wonder if there is some policy in place to keep an eye on players and if they are still at the same machine after X amount of minutes or X number of attempts to help out
@@Skye_Writer Pretty much every arcade in Japan will do it, but how often depends on the particular staff member and how busy they are. If the place isn't that busy and it is easy to keep track of specific customers, then it is easier to provide assistance. If the place is busy and you aren't drawing attention to your agony by not being overly expressive, then it is quite easy for a staff member to just assume that you must be doing "okay" and keep walking. Don't forget that the staff have to keep patrolling and restocking machines after almost every win, so it is quite easy to just not notice that a customer has been at a single machine for an ungodly amount of time.
I love how Meilyne hasn't changed at all since the first crane game video; she's still spewing out the weirdest things that a human shouldn't need to know.
The thing I like the most about this is like, yeah, crane games are rigged to make you spend more but the staff WANTS you to win, they want you to have fun they're so sweet
The difference between these crane game places and actual casinos is that the crane game staff are trained to effectively give you the prizes once it is clear you have spent enough money at a machine to clearly be profitable. They want you to keep playing other cranes, not get pissed off at a single crane and then not come back. Online crane game sites even go so far as to program the "assist" as a guaranteed thing after using X amount of plays. The only issue is when it comes to the truly decent prizes on relatively easy to conquer machines, where "pro players" farm the prizes for scalping. This is usually countered by only letting one prize out of those machines per player per day. When you are putting in $60+ for a $10-15 anime figure, it is in the store's interest to just give you the figure so that way you are more willing to do the same to another machine. Connor (and the people he brings) get more assistance than a usual player would because he is a frequent player that is highly recognizable. When staff see you coming in relatively often and dropping TONS of money each trip, they know that being more liberal with the help will pay off in the long run, regardless if the money is being drained on that particular crane or not. They also see the cameras and know that they are effectively getting free advertisement. The more that the influencers win, the better that the store appears as a good place to win prizes.
@@melonlord1414 Connor says in the beginning and at the coffee crane game how tired he is, so i think they just went there right after it opened so that nobody else is there. So the friendly staff member probably also had not much to do besides looking after the boys^^
There’s something niche about using coins for the crane machines instead of using your card to pay…slowly losing all your money as the bag feels lighter and the shame of going back to the coin machine to spend more money is a unique type of enjoyment I guess 😂
@@Skye_Writer I agree, especially because you can actually see and feel how much you spend versus using your card recklessly and not knowing how much you spent.
21:30 I like how the camerawoman called it "inappropriate massager" so it won't have a chance to get demotitized and Connor bluntly said "d1ldo" right away.
@@Death-xj6ro i'm not wasting my time searching for the camerawoman's name i've just forgotten just because I wanted to make a comment I thought about at the top of my head
Shout out to the Staff Lady who helped them both, not only did she constantly help them out, she even gave valuable information and helped them in a way where they still have to make effort rather than giving right away.
I want Monke to do this and Tungsten Rat is Holographically present to stand next to him, not holding his prizes but laughing at him everytime he fails.
I feel like the reason why Joey won a lot more than Chris is because he was willing to ask for help just like Connor, Chris was stubborn and tried to do everything on his own.
These TinyTan plushies are probably arcade exclusive, since i never saw them in stores, thats lucky. They are also pretty expensive, like 25-30 dollars for one. Also that Aloe Vera gel is really good for dry skin, that brand i assume is Holika holika, they make pretty dope products.
That figure machine one with the straight bar that doesn't spread wide to either side is one of the hardest crane games to play so I didn't recommend it for next time lol But you both got it from that machine! I have to give it to Joey tho his strategies seem to work better give Joey some more try he might be an expert for the figure crane game. Connor on the other hand might master the laydown plushie machine that one is kinda hard too. This time I have to give it to Joey for the win! Connor struggle too much at the Rem machine and Joey did pretty well for his first time! Ps. And yes in a place like Shinjuku it became much harder.
42:50 To answer CDawg’s question, Aloe Vera gel is used to help heal burns. Living in Arizona, we actually grew an Aloe Vera plant that we would apply directly to our sun burns. I guess since Connor is from Britain, he hasn’t had to worry about needing any Aloe Vera.
I would argue that, being from Britain, would mean he would need aloe vera way more, because the pale skin burns more easily. At least I, as a Norwegian, have a long relationship with aloe vera and sunscreen. I get burned a lot every summer. (and britain surprisingly gets very hot and sunny during the summer. I did not expect that either when I went there at the beginning of June one year.)
@@pissum420 Well I'm sure he has been on _some_ vacations. Us Northern Europeans love travelling to warmer countries. And if he seems like the person who wouldn't use sunscreen, then that just means he is even more likely to have gotten sunburnt quite a bit. 😂
I like these but it's a shame nobody likes doing it yet haha would live streaming it make it better or worse for you guys as an option i wonder :o The gyro ball swap was awesome haha, sweet ep, i hope for camera operators to come on or all the bois / Meilynne, Aki or Kaho ? who else ?
I think Conner has met his crane game match cause they equally did well with the prizes, Joey did the best out of the guests so far and his good vibes were a joy to watch. I'd love to see more Crane Game Challenge videos with Anime Man again, I hope to see more with him if he's willing to do the trips with Conner again.
The games did seem a lot harder from the footage, but the staff were very helpful and approached without being asked to which would be great for me since I'd be too shy to ask for help.
The woman who is helping you guys ALLOT is so kind and i like how she went full YATA mode when Connor got the baby zombie,it felt so genuine even though Connor didn't do shit xD
Joey: Cinnamon Roll. Connor: What’s that from? Joey: Cinnamon Roll from Sanrio. Connor: I’m not a big fan of Sanrio… Little did he know…a little mouse with iron, would convert him.
"Connor tries the next crane game challenge with either Sydney or Aki" Sydney: I hope there some UB figures in the challenge. Aki: I going win some Kingdom Hearts and Minions figures/plushies.
didnt joey mention that aki was really good at crane games?? i would love to see connor losing his mind while aki's just getting things on her first try lmao
As a claw machine owner, let me tell you how these things work There are 3 stregnth settings They are labled by Vr being Variable Resistor Vr1: This is the stregnth when it first grabs the item, usually set this to a high number to grab it Vr2: This is the stregnth at once it reaches the top, some people like to set this to a high amount to make it more convincing, others like to make people rage and set this to an extremely low setting Vr3: This is the stregnth at which it is moving, usually set to a really low value Pay To Win: There is a dip switch on the mainboard that enables this, It will be weak until the set amount of money has been put into the machine at which point it finally switches onto high power and you will win no matter what unless you are really bad at crane games. This is the mode we use when placing machines, so yes, they are rigged.
Are you talking about traditional American cranes or Japanese crane games? It would be cool to see all the different types and to see how every single one differs in terms of payout/strategy.
Hearing Joey talk about his love for rhythm games makes me want a video where the boys try out a bunch of different Japanese rhythm games. I need to live my Maimai and Ongeki fantasies vicariously through other people because there are no cabs near me
I really want to try Japanese rhythm games but I feel like I'd have to move there. I'd want to actually get good at them--not sweaty tryhard good, but at least feel like I can play some songs--and there seems to be so many interesting ones. Plus I'd get distracted with crane games and pachinko parlors on the way there. 😅
@@yurikuki Yee, omg imagine if he actually got that whole cuddle lineup omfg. Also, I found it funny as well when he mistakenly sang "making love" so perfectly to the melody of "fake love."
Just skimming over the comments the last two weeks, I have come to this conclusion. The helpful member of staff needs her own RUclips channel because she's obviously outshone the bois in this video. Plus everyone wants to see Connor go up against Aki in a crane game contest and have been building her up like she's the Chuck Norris of crane games. I feel this would be a very interesting challenge ☺️☺️☺️
So for anyone who hasn't studied Japanese UFO games as much as I have, I have some tips. First off, let gravity do most of the work. Use the claws to press down on items and roll them, as opposed to just picking things up. Claw machines tend to randomize their grip strength so maybe 1/10 uses they will be strong enough to actually lift something and carry it more than half a foot before releasing the grip and dropping the item. Get the item as close to the exit gate before trying to pick it up. Also, when doing boxes aim for corners, not the center. Use the claw to press down on corners to move items rather than lifting them up in the middle. If a plushie has a tag, then don't try to loop the claw through it as it will likely drop and slide off when being picked up. Finally, it is OK to swoop in and steal someone's progress before it is reset by an attendant. If you see someone wasting 1000 yen before walking away, that is 1000 yen closer to a win and with the right tactics a cheaper win for you. Watch people in the arcade play, see their tactics, wait for them to give up and then take over.
You're most likely not even going to see this but just you know Connor, your videos are always the highlight to my days. Lately life's been exhausting but being able to come home to watch your videos always puts a smile on my face. Keep doing what you're doing.
i like the fact that there's no competition between them at the end (while with some other guests they were kind of showing off all the things they had won), here it just looks like Joey is very happy to share what he has won with Connor
That woman helping you guys out all the time is a true hero.

We need Aki at some point. Also this is my favorite series, crane games are so addicting.
Does he stand a chance? Joey did mention that she's a fucking beast at crane games.
@@NateLeonhart Connor is pretty good too at this point so why not? It would be really interesting to watch.
@@NateLeonhart i wanna see what she can do with 500 dollars tho
Great service by the clerk girl, she not just helped the boys but also did it in a friendly way.
I wish that Employee a raise, a great health and a great pay all around
Also more crane game suffering please
Joey: "I'd eat these on a depressed day"
Joey at the end of the video: *eats these*
NUTS
I think Conner has met his crane game match cause they equally did well with the prizes, Joey did the best out of the guests so far and his good vibes were a joy to watch. I'd love to see more Crane Game Challenge videos with Anime Man again, I hope to see more with him if he's willing to do the trips with Conner again.
Agreed! It'd be cool to see them rematch at a normal crane game arcade where they get 6 plays for 500 yen and the machines are nicer.
39:38 The way Connor got hyped when he saw the jungkook that joey won 💀💀
The games did seem a lot harder from the footage, but the staff were very helpful and approached without being asked to which would be great for me since I'd be too shy to ask for help.
The woman who is helping you guys ALLOT is so kind and i like how she went full YATA mode when Connor got the baby zombie,it felt so genuine even though Connor didn't do shit xD
And she’s so pretty 😍
Time stamp ??
I love how the staff member followed them around and gave them helpful advice like a tutorial npc
28:29 I love how the staff waits on standby by the machines, just waiting for someone to need help again
Joey: Cinnamon Roll.
Connor: What’s that from?
Joey: Cinnamon Roll from Sanrio.
Connor: I’m not a big fan of Sanrio…
Little did he know…a little mouse with iron, would convert him.
The contrast between how much fun Joey is having and how much fun Connor is having is hilarious
Not to mention Joey did 5 times better than Chris
the crane attendant was really earning her wage kudos to her she went above and beyond
"Connor tries the next crane game challenge with either Sydney or Aki"
Sydney: I hope there some UB figures in the challenge.
Aki: I going win some Kingdom Hearts and Minions figures/plushies.
Aki would try to win all the dildo machines honestly
didnt joey mention that aki was really good at crane games?? i would love to see connor losing his mind while aki's just getting things on her first try lmao
I wanna see Conner v Aki!
I would not only love to see another Crane Game special with Aki & Sydney but with Kaho as well
Aki would also probably compete with Connor with another BTS crane game machine.
''everywhere has rem stuff, you haven't just found it yet''
truly wise words
Joey's excitement automatically made him the winner.
That employee is the real MVP. See how many times you can spot her creeping in the background waiting to be asked for help.
hahaha, now I need to rewatch the whole video and look for this!
16:48 Staff-San is supportive, appreciative and we love her.
As a claw machine owner, let me tell you how these things work
There are 3 stregnth settings
They are labled by Vr being Variable Resistor
Vr1: This is the stregnth when it first grabs the item, usually set this to a high number to grab it
Vr2: This is the stregnth at once it reaches the top, some people like to set this to a high amount to make it more convincing, others like to make people rage and set this to an extremely low setting
Vr3: This is the stregnth at which it is moving, usually set to a really low value
Pay To Win: There is a dip switch on the mainboard that enables this, It will be weak until the set amount of money has been put into the machine at which point it finally switches onto high power and you will win no matter what unless you are really bad at crane games. This is the mode we use when placing machines, so yes, they are rigged.
Are you talking about traditional American cranes or Japanese crane games? It would be cool to see all the different types and to see how every single one differs in terms of payout/strategy.
@@Raezra cranes in general, at the base they all have similar workings
@@MCGR Is there an ancient text that contains the secret strategy to winning every type of crane game? If so, please share.
@@Raezra there is, its called paying for more tries
@@RichCustard also there is converting to monke like Connor does
Hearing Joey talk about his love for rhythm games makes me want a video where the boys try out a bunch of different Japanese rhythm games. I need to live my Maimai and Ongeki fantasies vicariously through other people because there are no cabs near me
I really want to try Japanese rhythm games but I feel like I'd have to move there. I'd want to actually get good at them--not sweaty tryhard good, but at least feel like I can play some songs--and there seems to be so many interesting ones. Plus I'd get distracted with crane games and pachinko parlors on the way there. 😅
i basically wanna try every game arcaea collabed with
I admire Connor for making it his personal mission to save the japanese crane-game industry from certain doom.
Joey was actually a worthy opponent for the Monke and that staffer was a life-saver.
Also, loved the BTS and Korean theme they incorporated lol.
True. Those bts plushies were so cute. I think connor wasn't able to get suga and jin sadly.
@@yurikuki Yee, omg imagine if he actually got that whole cuddle lineup omfg. Also, I found it funny as well when he mistakenly sang "making love" so perfectly to the melody of "fake love."
Just skimming over the comments the last two weeks, I have come to this conclusion. The helpful member of staff needs her own RUclips channel because she's obviously outshone the bois in this video.
Plus everyone wants to see Connor go up against Aki in a crane game contest and have been building her up like she's the Chuck Norris of crane games. I feel this would be a very interesting challenge ☺️☺️☺️
Considering how frequently Kaho has been in videos, she definitely has to be part of this series, as well as Aki
Kaho: walks into crane arcade
Connor: "I'm actually a regular here."
@@AttentionDeficitGuy finally the tables are turned
So for anyone who hasn't studied Japanese UFO games as much as I have, I have some tips. First off, let gravity do most of the work. Use the claws to press down on items and roll them, as opposed to just picking things up. Claw machines tend to randomize their grip strength so maybe 1/10 uses they will be strong enough to actually lift something and carry it more than half a foot before releasing the grip and dropping the item. Get the item as close to the exit gate before trying to pick it up. Also, when doing boxes aim for corners, not the center. Use the claw to press down on corners to move items rather than lifting them up in the middle. If a plushie has a tag, then don't try to loop the claw through it as it will likely drop and slide off when being picked up. Finally, it is OK to swoop in and steal someone's progress before it is reset by an attendant. If you see someone wasting 1000 yen before walking away, that is 1000 yen closer to a win and with the right tactics a cheaper win for you. Watch people in the arcade play, see their tactics, wait for them to give up and then take over.
Not gunna lie it was so pure and wholesome to watch Joey celebrate his wins.
yeah, that made the video for me!
22:29 I love how he tries to do the Dragon Quest theme but it just comes out as Indiana Jones
I love that Connor kept up his tradition of breaking everything and succeeded to break the crane game
another episode of: conner and his friend spends unreasonable amounts of money whilst losing their minds because of their shit rng.
You're most likely not even going to see this but just you know Connor, your videos are always the highlight to my days. Lately life's been exhausting but being able to come home to watch your videos always puts a smile on my face. Keep doing what you're doing.
i like the fact that there's no competition between them at the end (while with some other guests they were kind of showing off all the things they had won), here it just looks like Joey is very happy to share what he has won with Connor
Joey definitely did better than the other two, he was also a lot more calmer too hahaha
definitely calmer, hahaha 😅
@@Nightvss Connor can definitely be pretty calm himself lol I think with Joey he seemed a little more calmer too than he is with others
Seeing Connor go up against his friends is fun and all, but I wanna see him and a pro crane game player go head to head.
Or Connor, Joey, and Garnt against a pro. Give them a fighting chance 😆
I remember Joey saying that Aki is a beast in these games, so maybe we will have that!
Genuinely no idea why watching people play crane games is so fascinating, but I love it 😆
The real MVP. The employee who kept saving the day for the both of ya 😂
