3:14 getting 2 povs of kirbs bonking on a cloud is what this mod was made for
bonkcloud if you will
@ser_igel Bonkcloud... bongcloud??
BONGCLOUD OPENING
New speedrun tech???
@Gamesmarts194 saves 0.5 seconds worth it
"Fir's doing some emote shenanigans... Fir, are you emoting?"
"No, but I can start if you want"
I love the banter
Bro Smants whistling is actually SO FREAKING GOOD. He even added some vibrato to it. It's actually really good and well sustained.
its the most replayed part of the video so im glad everyone thinks that
what is vibrato
It's when the note shakes. He does it at the last tenth a second at 13:54.
@Luis-js7fkyou know how opera singers sound stereotypically? One of the big things that they do that is uncommon in more popular music styles is vibrato
He's a good singer as well. Shame chat trolled him with the "Fly me to the moon" video so much he vowed to never again sing on stream.
It was a lot of fun! Also great music choices.
woah :o
sähän oot Suomalainen eikö?
@F3ekku749 Joo, kyllä olen
@F3ekku749 I noticed as well because I lived in Finland for a year, it always makes me happy to hear the accent :)
@maestroeragon what city did you live in
The good thing about this scoring system is that it takes away the RNG of certain kingdoms almost always beeing easier for the seekers or the hiders (like everyone usually being found in 5-10 minutes on Lake or Ruined Kingdom versus 20-30 minutes on Metro or Moon).
The bad thing about it is like that it incentivizes targetting- it’s optimal to let a person with fewer points go in favor of continuing to look for someone with more points, since there’s no running clock to worry about.
@harrdeeharr yeah but wasn't that the case with the original method as well?
Catch the people with the highest times first before they snowball.
Now there's just not a way to snowball as hard
@somethingsomewhat8860 With the new system it can be advantageous to not catch someone even when you definetly could
@somethingsomewhat8860 There wasn't a benefit to purposefully letting people with low times go, though. Now there is.
You can't choose who you run across first anyway, but you can choose not to pursue them. If you purposefully always leave the person with the lowest points for last you put yourself at an advantage relative to the rest, because they can only get up to four points now. Whereas with time, everyone's clock runs up independently so catching someone with a low time as soon as you see them is still advantageous since it gives you more seekers.
Thats why i like'd poo's suggestion that the seeker who gets a tag should also get a point, incentives seekers not to ignore players as they now can gain points.
@LiquidWater91 I feel like then you'd run into people not calling out people they find, since they'd risk giving the point to someone else...
saying this bc i havent seen anyone else mention it, that last metro round feels very noteworthy. I can't think of any time where one seeker has caught every hider (excluding fir because he wasn't caught), especially with this many people.
Not only that, but Poo also found everyone as well. It wasn't as if Kirbs found Smant but Poo caught Smant in the chase, Poo pretty much won that game as a one man army.
#JusticeForSeekers frfr
I think in the 5v5 against the french smant got everyone in cascade except for someone who died on their own, dont quite remember though
@Wither-xj5cp I think that's a fair comparison since fir didn't get found, but I think crafty found the person who died in a chase, right?
all time mvp performance from poo, he's honestly pretty often a sleeper in these, especially as a hider, he's won quite a few games
11:36 ah yes my favourite north-bound interstate, I-5 west
thank you for also noticing lmao
11:37 Crafty saying "He's northbound on the... on the... I-5 west or something" as Samu is going across the road-like section of the kingdom is way funnier to me than it should be
hey its erin from docspectred balatro
20:30 “and I’m whistling “ haha classic smant classic smant
Fir truly making people ponder the real questions in life. To tag, or target someone else first?
It’s definitely a valid strategy if you’re losing
fir being a pokio master is always my favorite
Cjya "what music was he whistling" while standing in the sub area the music is from 😂😂😂
Cj saying "you know him, you may like him smallant". I'm always rooting for smant
Smant is the reason I watch these creators in the first place. He deserves it.
@DragonNM46fr
What time
@MM73K123 in the first 90 seconds, I have fiath in you dude!
real
3:00 Crafty is truly his own worst enemy
I have mixed feelings about this way of doing it. The good thing about the points is that it doesn't give an advantage to players who get lucky with the kingdoms they seek in, but it also reduces how much players are rewarded for finding a really good spot. There also should be an honor system because this makes it a lot easier to target players
They could always do something like award a bonus point to the winner of each round; that way you still get rewarded for doing better than the rest, without punishing for bad luck from the kingdom.
I prefer time but it was cool to see haha
@eivind261093 The problem is it leads to things like the smant lake thing where every seeker just gave up looking for samurai because they wanted to get smant who was first.
1:01 I feel attacked
Crafty’s face at 12:40 got my dying
13:52 Smant has become bird lmao
@alexc.g8525 that was my favorite bit
@Serrof same
I'm dying, Fir was so distressed at his lack of bit in the last round.
0:15 this is underrated
The sheer consistency of Smallant being the bane of Cjs existence cracks me up.
song timestamps in the description would be nice,
this isn't all of them but I don't know the rest, and there's a lot

@aceahbasesounds like it's "Fight Against an Armed Boss" from Super Mario RPG (SNES)
2:38 is actually Right There Ride On from Sonic Rush
This gotta be the most intense thing to happen in the last two days
I just want to say, LilKirbs and Samura1man have been really fun additions to the cast
11:36 "Northbound on the I5 west, or something I dunno" 😭god I love Crafty
3:18 the freaking Goofy scream killed me 🤣
13:52 the way he whistled
Northbound on the I-5 West is underrated tbh
Really like the point system reducing the spread, making things extra tense. It also seems like it should make things quicker, not needing to actually find the last hider. On the other hand, as a viewer, it would be a shame to _never_ get those ridiculous spot searches like in the previous video with LilKirbs in Cascade.
It's an interesting twist to play with a point system! It gives a breath of fresh air into the game.
It also makes it more fair, if you think about smaller kingdoms
@JonasM0r. Poor Smant got screwed in Lake though
Forget fair.
Nah Smant deserved that for that spot
@8unnylover They JUST did a whole bit about a gentleman's agreement to not exploit borderline-cheat spots and he instantly ran to that exact type of spot in pretty much every kingdom.
If they had deliberately ignored others to catch him first every single time, I would agree that he'd been screwed over, but he still got 4 points from that.... and still sulked about it. Despite forcing the seekers to catch him "legit" (if it can even be called that when even getting there requires abusing a glitch in the first place), right after abusing a multiplayer glitch to catch Fir in Moon because he couldn't do it the legit (actually legit!) way.
Definitely need points for tags. Poo is right.
Problem is, that would discourage seekers from working together.
@apexkonchu2234 Would be fun low key. Imagine all the betrayals and seekers somehow surviving because of it
@apexkonchu2234 give assist points too. 2 points for a "kill" 1 for an assist. Let everyone have a KDA 🤣
@jumpinjeff1709 Idk, it depends on how the players handle it, I feel like there'd need to be an increase in points for hiders too.
@apexkonchu2234 Not a problem! That would make for an intresting dynamic actually!
Fir having a funny idea for a bit and then it failing was so relatable 😂
omg i love the points system 😭😭 what a shame that fir didn't get to do his bit LMAOO
13:42 this song unlocked memories for me! I haven't thought about the sonic rush boss theme in forever
26:05 Morshu deciding where he wants to seek
Love seeing Sam with you guys, used to watch his mario sunshine speedruns agessss ago
That was some chaotic editing, I really liked it
totally am not distracted for half the video by how ADORABLE firs avatar thing is
I know!! I’m also not sure what it’s meant to be, but it’s so CUTE!! 🥰
I feel that the timer system is a better approach, as it adds a sense of urgency for the seekers, every second could make a difference. The point system, on the other hand, encourages strategies like intentionally letting people escape to prevent other seekers from surpassing your score. While you could implement rules to counter this, enforcing them could be challenging. Although the point system does reduce some of the randomness from getting an unfavorable kingdom, I don’t think this is the ideal solution.
Additionally, the idea of awarding points for tags seems flawed. It could lead to seekers not calling out hiders they find. After all, why alert others if it might just increase the chance of losing a point to someone else? This last question also applies to 'letting a hider escape' for strategic reasons.
In the end, though, you should play in the way that you guys enjoy the most.
they just wanted to spice it up bro, it ain't that deep 😭
@FlareToga76 and he is just giving his opinion on the new rule, it ain't that deep
I feel the point system makes up for the inherent unfairness of different kingdoms being infinitely easier to hide in than others, while at the same time diminishing part of the disadvantage certain players get from being less experienced at the game. It encourages them to play for fun - which for me also translates to a more fun viewing experience - rather than trying to "cheese" it for as much time as possible.
Personally, I much prefer the point system - partly because it feels like everyone has a chance to win, rather than realistically being a competition between 2-3 players, with another 4-5 just... being present to pad out the numbers.
Either way, though, they're just going to keep playing whatever way they like best. I got the impression SmallAnt prefers the timer (for the simple fact that it hugely benefits him), while everyone else either prefer points or seemed fairly neutral. I imagine for most of them, it's refreshing to change things up and participate in a game where they have an actual chance of doing well!
It may be beneficial to add points to the seekers as well. So that you get additional points for your performance after being caught
20:32 "Were putting the controller down, and whistling" great line Smant
“Northbound on i5 west” - crafty the genius
02:48 Sonic Rush music. Massive W
13:30 Sonic Rush music - in this day and age? Truly, a man of culture-
Fir'a chaotic energy is so good 😂
Smant whistling is so funny but it sounds so good!!!
Smant and Fir just panic treadmilling side by side in Ruined made me cackle so hard 😂😂
I love rewatching these hide and seek videos!
He already sat down was amazing 32:23
omg whoever made the thumbnail did so well
Ikr
If the meta is shifting towards staying hidden the longest, then in theory Fir and Smant should have the advantage on average.
Treeboi because he tends to be insanely nimble when the chips are down and VerticallyChallengedAnthony because he has this habit of casually getting inside everyone's head on top of his schmovement skills (which are definitely not washed *wink*).
Excellent music choices on that one, especially the Sonic Rush tracks
w game
Is it just me or is it always CJ seeking in either Ruined or Bowsers? It’s either feast or famine, honestly
was not expecting all the sonic rush music, nice touch
The only thing this misses is the chaotic chases where everyone is looking for the last hider.
There are several bits that made me laugh out loud. But Fir hiding in front of the Odyssey then inside the door... this takes it 😂thanks for the laughs everyone
Yippie more Mario Odyssey hide n seek 🗣️
"Ready, or not, here we 💅COME💅." 12:48
Giving points for tags sound fun too
The one time Poo catches someone and he doesnt even see it 😂
i still wanna know how smallant whistles
the points rules is a fun change. there is an issue with it prioritizing targetting specific people - this might be fixed by rewarding a catcher with a point? but then this might encourage dying early with the intention of seeking better, or being selfish when seeking and not doing call outs. tricky
13:52 smant does have good whistling
kirbs, samu, and smallant walk into a subarea...
OK but Poo legit had a good idea about giving a point for every tag
3:02 i would not have guessed thats what crafty looks like
30:52 mario looks like a creepypasta
Lmao Crafty got caught while yappin about people yappin
These videos are so damn funny.
Poo looks so excited in the first 5 seconds
Background is from fh4 if anyone curious!
Fir was literally selling his 1st place and the seeker threw 😭
Y'all ain't avoid being on Lilkirb's wall
i love cj’s fun editing style sm
props to auvotv!
I don’t know what it was about this hide in seek in particular but it was gold
"yah!!" love fir firever
smart continuing being the villian in the group while fir being the hero.
REMATCH Smallant in a lockout race!!
Every new video is the most intense 😊
20:09 TOMODACHI LIFE MUSIC 🗣🗣🗣🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The point system is really nice. Keep using it!
11:37 how tf do you go north on a west-east highway lol
3:15 We're all learning new things about the game physics.
I love the addition of lil kirbs haha amazing spots
I used to watch these videos every single day a year ago, and they were all so fun and entertaining. This is my first time back and it’s so fun to see the whole squad together, especially crafty and his facecam!!!!
Imagine if ninja got a low taper fade
so glad I have this to take away from my stress
30:14 zooming in on Poo only to INTERRUPT his story D:
100&ed all of Mario Odyseey watching this
This was a great mix-up of the classic structure! Love to see you guys building on such an awesome concept!!
The sonic music is too good
Fir and Smant seems like guys who cheese a ton and don’t play fair lol.
Fir is always doing something stupid and somehow wins 😂
Smant's spot was great. He should've made them keep looking.
20:27 WHAT THE- THAT'S THE BEST SPOT OF ALL TIME, WHAT
0:16 Was that summoning mahoraga 😂
we need more smant whistles
Bro that was intense
I prefer the time based system to the points system, it makes things more tense as everyone’s racing to find the last person before their time become insurmountable
I love these new format games! This was so good!
I always love these
