This is giving such early youtube energy. Like in talking later 2000s era. The shitty camera, the unfiltered audio, seeing the reflections of the people playing in the screen. So nostalgic.
14:20 you can actually still sticky walk in ultimate, but it's more of a sticky run. Basically, you just hold A + B smash attack while you are in the sliding skid animation that happens when you turn around while running. You can also sticky walk with DK's cargo carry by holding down and left or right (depending on the side of the ledge) while carrying someone.
Me the other day: "You know it's been a while, it'd be nice to have a new video/stream of Alpharad playing smash again." *and the monkey's paw curled* That said, awesome video.
Missed detail that adds a lot: They were in Japan! If you read Jacob's Phone, the Audio Recording's name, which defaults to your location, is called "Kabukicho 2 Chome"
Ahhh Smash 4. I’m nostalgic for it now, and the fact it’ll be 10 years old in November this year or September due to the 3DS version. I just can’t express it.
14:17 you can basically do this in ultimate. if you have A+B smash attack on and you press them during your dash turnaround, you won't run off the ledge.
It’s hard for me to tell what the differences between 4 and Ultimate are game play wise, then I see my boy Marth floating around like he’s made out of molasses and everything clicked.
Bringing the alpharad gold quality to wildcard i see
That brings those old days
The first thing I thought of was that this felt like a Gold vid lmao
i miss it every day
Unfortunately there’s any editing at all
@@Queentism-cv3vi alpharad gold has editing, what do you think all the leaf transitions are
This is how Smash 4 was meant to be played: with Jacob and Brayden looming ominously in the reflection of the Wii U
I see them in the reflection of my wii u too
For real.
yes. the exact type of content i want to see 🥹
(i’m not even joking)
I love that they have face cam, it’s just Braden slightly in the reflection of the screen and Jacob on the buttons
OMG you're right😊
high quality mic, high quality capture card, high quality face cam
Jacob looks like his soul got trapped inside the Wii u
this feels like alpharad gold
alpharad gold would've never added background music
@@dogsinsuits true
@@dogsinsuits also wouldnt have any extra editing beyond a few leaf transitions
@@RayvenNeverland mairo marker
How Smash 4 was meant to be played :')
I can't believe your comment is ratio'd by one with the same words but they aren't in the video
This is giving such early youtube energy. Like in talking later 2000s era. The shitty camera, the unfiltered audio, seeing the reflections of the people playing in the screen. So nostalgic.
Seeing Jacob hit a forward aerial in 2024 made my mind happy
Testament to og alpharad fans,
F O R W A R D A E R I A L
Hadn't heard of that meme in years.
@@shn4449 It makes sense since Alpharad didn't want to do the meme anymore
3:37, The JumpMan, The Myth, The Forward Aerial, as beautiful as I remember.
It's as beautiful as the first time I saw it. Our beloved
What do you mean we don't have face cam? Our best one yet, the reflection from the Wii U
If you told me this was an Alpharad Gold video I'd believe you
I had to keep double-checking.
Too much editing, so sadly no
alpharad pyrite
This is some Gold energy
Funny number of likes
@@whim165 someone ruined it
@@NopeNope-gnos ):
The Wildcard Plus era has truly begun
Such high quality
The nostalgic kind
I can't believe he played smash 4 Mario, hit the funny move and didn't say it. The restraint
It still feels weird not hearing alpha shout “FORWARD AERIAL” when ever he lands mario fair
This truly was our the way home;
Thank you Alex the 9
oh god im so fucking ready for the return of gold
Thank u editors for doing ur best with this ~phenomenal~ footage

This just makes me miss alpharad gold
The fact that they're sitting on the opposite sides of their characters is the icing on the cake
Oh my god fr
1122 small was an absolute throwback character for me im glad he got to appear one last time
Me the other day: "You know it's been a while, it'd be nice to have a new video/stream of Alpharad playing smash again."
*and the monkey's paw curled*
That said, awesome video.
This is like old youtube content scuffed but content gold
Foward aerial
1:02 alpharad lizard brain activated when he saw the the Nair.
This is actually the most high quality video I’ve seen in years
Missed detail that adds a lot: They were in Japan!
If you read Jacob's Phone, the Audio Recording's name, which defaults to your location, is called "Kabukicho 2 Chome"
This video really gets what smash content in 2014 felt like
20:01 Just like Icarus, you flew too close to the sun
The video : scuffed
The audio : crisp
Creators : happy
Oh yeah, it's all coming together
As someone who found Alpharad's content when he was already playing Smash Ultimate and not this era, this is like adjacent nostalgia.
This is adorable, props to the editor for putting all of the effects on the gamepad
"I didn't want to hit you, I just wanted to blow you away."
*Plays Blow Me Away with the Master Chief victory screen*
Me: *Happy brain noises*
the best part of this is watchingthe player cams in the reflection of the gamepad
The reflection of your faces on the Wii U is the perfect face-cam substitute!
0:30 as someone whose first alpharad video was how to play shulk 101, holy fuck that brought back nostalgia
Wow, I think that was my first alpharad video too
That was mine too
There is just something about the quality that just feels so right lol. Like watching a brand new RUclips lol
3:38 he did the thing he did the thing
omg the How To Play title card. WE ARE SO BACK
"we'll save zss for the end" no zss sadge
close enough, welcome back alpharad gold
Love the fact we can see them in the reflection, makes it feel like we went back an era
this is just a gold video with editing
Who needs face cam when you have the reflection in the game pad
We are so back
"See you in another six years when ultimate dies"
Uhhhhhh who's gonna tell him...
I love that you can see their reflections in the gamepad
Nostalgia times
That double take when Blow me away played.
This is the content NEED, man now I wanna play smash 4 again with my friends lmao
Oh this feels like home
0:29 oh that brings me back
Takes me way back to the alpharad smash 4 days truly golden times
12:14 "do you wanna look at *climax* ?" took me tf OUT
The scuff is so good lol
The fact that this is the audio and visuals of 2000 with the editing style of 2024 makes for an odd mixture, but it’s fun
all these years, and we still know the way home.
You guys should record like this for all the smash games whenever you play them now
Wait so alpha and jaiden live in the same house and wildcardmember3 is probably in driving distance
there's even a facecam (reflection on the gamepad) so high tech
The fact that Jacob hit the Forward Aerial but didn't say "FORWARD AERIAL" shows how far we've come since the actual Smash 4 Days
I like that they could’ve just put a camera up to a TV screen or something but they chose to record the Wii U gamepad, amazing
This shit is Alpharad-Plus
Alpharad Gold: Died 2024 Wildcard: Born 2024
Welcome back Alpharad gold
But where's Jo?
We are so mario
They did have a facecam, just in the reflection of the Wii u
Return of the king
Ahhh Smash 4. I’m nostalgic for it now, and the fact it’ll be 10 years old in November this year or September due to the 3DS version. I just can’t express it.
i was reading the comments about the quality and was confused until the video loaded this is the quality of all time
18:53 FORWARD! ARIEL!
Can't believe alpharad didn't pull out his good old catchphrase when hitting mario's dunk
This is like peoples first RUclips video, so nostalgic
God, even the intro splash harkening back to the How to Play series. The nostalgia is real.
5:35 guilty gear menu select sound? Did not expect to hear that here
Love the camera pointed at Wii U experience lol awesome vibes
14:17 you can basically do this in ultimate. if you have A+B smash attack on and you press them during your dash turnaround, you won't run off the ledge.
Love the Marss reference, that's my guy! 4:05
Loving the early 2000's middle school let's player recording quality, 100/10 this is why I follow
I'm glad they brought little bro back into the studio to help edit this one! Classic
this is art
I remember when you used to be able to upload Replays straight to RUclips. It’s a little sad that they didn’t bring that feature back in Ultimate.
Not even a single “forward Ariel!” Little sad bout that but the nostalgia is worth it
my favorite part was the quadrillion ads
It’s hard for me to tell what the differences between 4 and Ultimate are game play wise, then I see my boy Marth floating around like he’s made out of molasses and everything clicked.
This kind of camera set up kind of hits
And as always, the video ends in the best way possible for the bit
the sheer flashback i got from the title screen is insane
God, this brings back a story for glory days. Never forget Mad Dawg
this was basically my childhood
Petition to film all videos on the wii u like this.
Well I have to admit, best gameplay capture I have ever seen, you guys should try livestreaming it like this lol😂
what started it all... without this game i dont think we'd be here today
Funny Aerial dopamine rush hits different in 2024
this lvl of quality kinda makes this video feel super cosy????? the hell
Holy crap smash 4 is how i discovered alpharad and im so happy to see him play it again
This is the Smash 4 experience of all time.
oh ym god the nostalgia as meta knight's revenge kicked in ADN THEN THE TITLE CARD???? dude we're so back
Close Enough!
Welcome back Alpharad Gold!
now THIS is the content I subscribed for (literally a decade ago, when I was 14 years old)
FORWARD AERIAL
Sorry not sorry
