Smash's Strangest Rivalry
Ойындар
In 2016, a massively unexpected and heated rivalry sparked between two groups within the same scene, over possibly the most bizarre reason in Smash history: Which breakfast restaurant was superior, IHOP, or Denny's.
Despite the ridiculous concept, the rivalry ended up being legendary within the scene, consuming it until it eventually reached a boiling point, with it all culminating in an epic final crew battle that nobody would have expected went on to become one of the greatest that Smash has ever seen.
This is a video documenting everything about the origins of how this rivalry came about, and how the crew battle eventually went down.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely massive thanks to Heyseuss, FingerStripes, CutMet, AsumSaus, Ludvix, Motobug, the AZPM scene, and everyone else who helped me with this video and helped me get back into making vids again!
I appreciate it so much

4:30 the fact that the n1 player from the IHOP team couldnt compete because he was food poisoned at a denni's is just amazing, you cant make this shit up
Pros: Good leader, Good composure Cons: Becomes enraged whenever Denny's is mentioned amazing
this is the kind of unhinged low stakes drama i live for
When the community needed him most, he returns Hope you're doing well, dude

Communities like this are probably so fucking fun. This is no doubt a day they remembered for the rest of their lives.
that 1-2 hours of serving all those players, with all their energy, must have been such a fever dream
pulling a beam sword in its beautiful blue entirety as to represent the final remaining force that stood in the way of an iHop victory or a Denny’s victory.. absolutely poetic. amazing video dude! #IHOPREPRESENT
Holy shit, a new GRsmash video after 2+ years? That alone is exciting, but the content style switch from highlights to actual storytelling is super cool too. Not sure if you plan to do more of these, but I'm glad to see your channel alive and well!

One of my favorite memories/experiences in Smash. Super excited and happy to see you make a video on our scene
See this is the type of well written, well made, well edited, hyper specific, hyper fixated essay content we come to the internet for and randomly find in our KZread recommendations. Great job! Also tbf this was sitting in my Watch Later list. Just got to it now. Ugh so many good memories with Project M. I loved playing as Pajama Ness. Personal anecdote: I am team IHOP because my stage crew and me along with some actors tried to go to Dennys after a show one time to mix things up, but then they turned us away. So we went to our trusted IHOP who will never turn away 30 teenagers at 10 PM.
As a longtime member of the AZPM community, this makes me so happy to see. I loved being in the crowd for this crew battle. One of my favorite memories.

AMAZING video on the return upload. Loved it from start to finish!
I went to your channel two days ago to watch old videos and pay my respects, but like a pheonix you have returned. I love you, please don't leave again.
After watching the whole thing this was beautiful, the banter, the rivalry, the close calls. Im shocked i never heard of this, which is why i hope you'll do more stories like this, the editing was also excellent
Your storytelling skills are fantastic. This video was gripping for the whole 20 minutes.

This fucking rules The video and the crew battle (Seriously tho that matchup screen with the characters knocking each other out when they’d win is so pleasing to look at, great job)
Only a few minutes in but I'm grinning ear to ear. Thanks for covering this event dude :) Very nice to see a vid about our rivalry as a return video for the goat.
I love it when popular KZreadrs randomly return after 2+ years.
This is such an amazing video to come back with
HOLY SHIT HES BACK
IHOP has amazing pancakes but you cant take away my Grand Slam & Chicken Fried Steak
Glad to see this and your return Hope to see great things
amazing vid, I remember you asking around about this ages ago so glad you finished the video!
This past week has been a renaissance of OGs (SGB Plays & Smosh notably) uploading! Welcome back, GRsmash!
I never expected you to upload any more videos. Great you've come back. I love your content.
This quality is crazy good. Comeback of the century!
Great to see a video from you again!
This video was DEFINITELY worth the wait. What a legend.
man, glad to see you’re back even if it’s just a one off. you were a huge part of my latter end of high school, i’ll always appreciate you for the work you put in over those years!
Welcome back, GRSmash! What a way to return, one of the GOAT crew battles in the greatest Smash game.
Completely missed this video somehow.. Great to have you back!
Holy shit, I've been watching from like 2015 and this man just said "Nah, that wasn't even my final form" and just dropped a masterpiece in editing and storytelling damn
The return we’ve all been waiting for
HES BACK
Fantastic video great to have you back 🎉
Return of the king. Loved this vid man, I had never heard of this crew battle and would love more story time/analysis vids like this!
No way this man just drops a video after almost 3 years. You love to see it.
Great video with great editing. Can’t stress how good it is to watch new content of yours. Thanks!
Smiled through this whole video so good
This was the best possible topic for a return video GR. We missed you. Welcome back and long live IHOP.
after 2 years this man gives us an incredible video essay. Great video man, glad to have you back
Love your vids! Awesome to see you back
Im blown away by the editing transitions holy cow man.
Holy shit he made an IHOP vs. Dennys video
This man returning can turn anyone's day from the worst to the best
Keep Making Smash bros History videos like this. Rivalries are always so fun to watch!
please make more of these man i missed you
12:15 Holy shit, the Cobra vs Neon subplot is probably my favorite part of this entire video lmfao
Incredible job telling this story. I was insanely engaged the entire time pleading for IHoP to win. I nearly shit my pants when I saw that clutch and just found my new favorite PM player. Made me want some IHOP so bad.
Thank you for immortalizing this piece of PM history
Such an awesome video keep up the good work!
I'm still here after 2 years 👍
I loved this, wish there was a 2nd one.
Love this new form of content dude keep it up
This is my favorite smash video, I've watched it 5 times already
The legend is back!🎉
It’s amazing how something you’ve only just learned about today turns out to be one of the most epic things you’ve ever seen! So proud to be a Peach Player! Also, everyone did an amazing job! That was great!
what a comeback. Love your channel man
I remember keeping up with this storyline at the time. Absolutely legendary. Long live Project M!
this was genuinely the most hype smash at any point has been. at least for me anyway. silly kyle did us a huge service. glad he was on the right side
Appreciate the coverage of PM. PM is by far my favorite event of smash, it has so much style and speed. Much love ❤
Watching this for a second time it is just unbelievable perfect commentary perfect story perfect hype perfect delivery editing pacing just unreal
Opened the video and didn't even realise anything was off for the first minute before thinking about it and remembering I have never seen a GRsmash video like this. Doing a fantastic job at this new form already
when we needed him the most, he came back and delivered!
That Peach clutched the shit out of that
amazing... the switch in style is VERY welcoming to newcomers and long-time viewers. looking forward to the new style of videos, GR!
Welcome back you killed it with this video
