BONGCLOUD OPENING
"Fir's doing some emote shenanigans... Fir, are you emoting?"
"No, but I can start if you want"
I love the banter
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.

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
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...
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
I'm dying, Fir was so distressed at his lack of bit in the last round.
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
It was a lot of fun! Also great music choices.
woah :o

@@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
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
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.
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.

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.
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
I just want to say, LilKirbs and Samura1man have been really fun additions to the cast
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.
Crafty’s face at 12:40 got my dying
Cjya "what music was he whistling" while standing in the sub area the music is from 😂😂😂
This gotta be the most intense thing to happen in the last two days
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!

Thank you for posting this when you did this will probably be the highlight of my week
omg i love the points system 😭😭 what a shame that fir didn't get to do his bit LMAOO
Love seeing Sam with you guys, used to watch his mario sunshine speedruns agessss ago

13:42 this song unlocked memories for me! I haven't thought about the sonic rush boss theme in forever
3:18 the freaking Goofy scream killed me 🤣
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!! 🥰
20:30 “and I’m whistling “ haha classic smant classic smant
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*).
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
Northbound on the I-5 West is underrated tbh
omg whoever made the thumbnail did so well
Ikr
3:20 i think what happened is a glitch thwt ill call super bonk. It happens when you bonk into a moving object ie: the mech during rainbow mode (I know that works because it happened to me) what happened to him is that the cloud was spawning in (which it does my very quickly growing until big enough) while he bonked which pushed him and created a super bonk.
13:30 Sonic Rush music - in this day and age? Truly, a man of culture-
I was about to say that you cant imagine how much I love this and would like an entire series, but yes you can, you literally dedicated a ton of time doing this, so thank you and well done
CJ's natural scream is fascinating. It's so close to a Wilhelm scream, but it's not a bit he's pulling, it's just his voice.
I have a question about the rules. Ik the “no out of bounds rule” means you can’t hide out of bounds, but does this include areas that are technically in bounds, but require you to go out of bounds to reach it? Cause imagine someone doing the clip in metro to get into the builder outfit room
Excellent music choices on that one, especially the Sonic Rush tracks
w game
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!!!!
“Northbound on i5 west” - crafty the genius
Is it just me or Smants whistling was perfect?
i love cj’s fun editing style sm
props to auvotv!
I actually liked poo's suggestion that seekers should also get 1 point for a tag in this game type.
here's a thought cops and robbers. if your a robber you run around the map and the cops chase the robbers. when one of the robbers gets caught they go into a jail cell where they can spectate. but if a robber goes over to the cell and touches it they free the prisoners. after a said amount of time if all the robbers haven't been caught they win but if they all get caught the cops win. hiding is not allowed or you can only hide in a place for 1 minute until you have to leave. the cops have to be at least 40 Marios length away from the cell. you can flip and flop the rules to whatever works best
that’s just freeze tag
Please credit me for a concept that you’ve already played, but I changed the name
@@evillittlemcnuggets Kind of a yes and no. Freeze tag the person freezes in place and you can hide in the overworld, cops and robbers has the robbers all located in the same spot until released, though I can see a number of issues with the ops proposal on the prospect, the biggest of which being the need to create a designated area for the "jail" and how to coordinate people being released. It'd require a bunch of extra modding to do it right and would be too clunky to run otherwise. The ask for credit on a game that already exists is also wild 🤔
@@evillittlemcnuggets but they all go to the same place the same cage so if one person gets free they all get free
@@kryqticnickkk6804 oh they already played that game I had no idea im not being sarcastic btw

The only thing this misses is the chaotic chases where everyone is looking for the last hider.

26:05 Morshu deciding where he wants to seek
I love the sonic rush soundtrack, whoever put it in, I love you
Poo might be onto something about getting points for tagging, then there would be less incentive to gang up on someone in a hiding spot, 1 point for every tag you get 🤔
Yippie more Mario Odyssey hide n seek 🗣️
I like the idea of a points system as a change of pace, but I think it should stay as a time thing. I don't think this group would abuse it too much but the seekers could absolutely be like "Leave Poo alone for right now, we need to catch Smant first!". With a time score, you're incentivised to catch whoever you can as fast as possible because you're not getting points while everyone else is
Definitely gonna need a game of H&S where you guys are allowed to abuse the animation glitch to infinite cap bounce. It would be miserable to play but very entertaining to watch.
was not expecting all the sonic rush music, nice touch
i feel like this point system is so much better than timed. Not only does it make broken spots less polarizing, but it also opens up every kingdom to be hidden in. I think points for tagging a player can also be implemented. Probably just give 1 point to the tagger. This whole system makes the games so much closer so really anyone can win at any point. Seems like better content.
But then it incentivises strategies like letting a hider go so that whoever is winning gets less points
I think the broken broken spots deserve to be polarizing tho
For singleplayer i do think the point system is bettee but for teams i think timed is better
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
When crafty said that we’re going to cascade kingdoms thought his mole was dust on my phone 1:51
I have a recommendation. if yall are using the same file making it the same for paintings. yall should be able to use paintings, but only once per round. there will be an extra hint whether you used a painting or not.
This was a great mix-up of the classic structure! Love to see you guys building on such an awesome concept!!
SmallAnt is just double moral in person. Whenever someone has a spot that he doesn't know how to get to, he stacks up or finds another unfair way, but when hes in a spot like that and people do the same to him, he complains that people cheat
Yeah but one was part of their mods intended mechanics, the other was a glitch that would allow infinite movement. Not the same
I mean they all do the same thing, it's all a part of the fun. On top of that, I'm pretty sure a large part of the complaints was because they were just targeting him out of spite.
@@danielfoster5177 No, they still completely out-ruled it as cheating the first day they found out about it. both are cheating to get to completely fair to reach spots. it’s not an intended mechanic, it’s something they achieved by allowing players to bounce on other caps and just kept in.
OK but Poo legit had a good idea about giving a point for every tag
3:34 and it begins
16:27 nah that’s insane
18:36 Firs evil laugh
I can't wait for crafty to make a mod that allows him to enter sub areas from the back. Like for areas that pipes disappear after they spit you out. I just think it would be incredibly funny if CJYa or Poo goes to the end to easily escape when somebody comes in, only for Crafty to just pop out of nowhere like "Hello"
The problem with the point system is that it negates the chance for come from behind victories. After three or so rounds you can start writing off half the players in a way you couldnt with the timer
2:46 editor using sonic rush ost has my heart ❤
i'm in my sonic era
You should still have to find the last person. Just have them give you their exact grid location and they'll get found pretty quick. Even if it's just to show off how cool your spot is.
The level of spite against Tanner is hysterical. Poor bloke.
I love smallant and always want him to win but he literally hid in 3 spots that are in the latest "best hiding spots" video, first result on youtube. That means that in moon, in ruined and in lake everybody knew where he was immediately, even if they didn't say so.
The point system is really nice. Keep using it!
Smant whistling is so funny but it sounds so good!!!
13:52 makes me so happy 😂
3:02 i would not have guessed thats what crafty looks like
I don’t know what it was about this hide in seek in particular but it was gold
Giving points for tags sound fun too

Much joy from the music coming in at 3:30 and 3:39 😂
Smant should be in a whistle (ing) group/band, after 13:54. I’m being honest at this moment. 😂 Like if you agree with it. Comment what song.
I'd say "Leave (Get Out)" or "Take a Hike", but "You Suck" would also be a good one.

HOLY SHIT THEY USED MY SPOT 24:50
YOOOOOOO
Great music choices on this one auvotv
thank you!
The one time Poo catches someone and he doesnt even see it 😂
CJ calling a witch hunt on Smant's spot in Lake is hilarious in hindsight, because its what ultimately bit him in the ass.
Because CJ ended 1 point behind Fir, & he very much could've gotten that point if Smant felt inclined to say where Crafty's spot was in Luncheon, instead of reversing the witch hunt.
7:15 did Crafty say hawk tuah?
yeah I think I'm gonna leave for making this comment
Y'all ain't avoid being on Lilkirb's wall
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
