1:05 So glad someone was able to showcase the hidden character Gwimbly from Smash Brawl. Underrated character.
I absolutely adore these like, genuine talks about things with cut-ins of Alex just being a chaotic shitposter, its absolutely top of the line
This is why kirby, even with its simplistic design, is the hardest character to develop in smash bros.
I definitely love Brawl’s addition of the mugshot because it’s a lot easier to tell what mode you’re playing. In Melee you can’t tell if you’re playing a time match or if both players were on one stock. In Brawl, you now have the “gradient ellipses of vitality” (name I made up 2 seconds ago) to represent stocks. Now you can tell you were playing a 1 stock match like a fucking psychopath.

Psycho?!! One stock is the ONLY way to play brawl!! I CAN'T believe YOU would be the one to betray me at my most vulnerable!
Both robin and Kazuya also have UI related changes, Robin displays the charges left, and Kazuya turns his nametag red ( and starts pulsating your controller)
8:26 oh COURSE they did, Sakurai and his COMPLETELY UNBIASED representation of Persona
3:45 -Tripping- Subspace Emissary 👍

4:57 Alax knows how to write running jokes and references PERFECTLY. Literally took until my second viewing to realize this is a reference to his 2018 E3 video, but just saying it wasn’t enough. He added ANOTHER joke on top of it to make it fresh. Now that’s comedy writing.
You do the UI videos about Smash THE BEST. I would LOVE to see you cover more of these in the future.
It still boggles me that they bothered to add a gauge on R.O.B.'s chassis to show how much fuel he has left for his Up B, but not also have it be visible on his damage meter.

You pretty much have a feel for it when you play ROB, it's not really an issue
I literally double tap/rewind 10 seconds back so often in your videos, just to appreciate every single one of your edits and jokes. Freakin’ love you dude. Thanks for the amazing content.
i love the running gag of the gba dk rail death sound
4:08 props to alax sacrificing 60-70gigs for a bit
Hey Alax, Long time viewer here. I wanna say it's been a real pleasure watching your UI and other videos. You have such a unique style and sense of humor that it helps inspires some of the things I do. Keep making some of the best videos on the platform.
8:18 I just left work today. Was not expecting to see these symbols follow me home off the clock. Honestly great edit though.
HOLY CRAP! I literally just finished watching your 10 Years video. This is such a blessing. Thank you, Alax!
This was one of your best, way to go Alex
I think the intros you've been doing now are one of the bests ideas you've had, like, they're so good. Been loving these 10 years of Alax, will be here for many more.
1:46 two decades since Melee and the Mr. Saturn noise is still the funniest sound effect in the series
I love trying to guess what the joke for Alax entering the room is gonna be, and I never get it, one day I'll guess "teleport in" and I'll be right.
I guess i understand one of your points, that being the inconsistency brought with new character mechanics, but I feel like that inconsistency helps the characters be even more unique, and adds fun and excitement to get to know how they work and figure out how to "master" the character. I do hope for the next smash maybe they introduce a universal UI mechanic so that characters can have access to even more varied moves
0:59 oh man that wii shop loading icon sent me back
Really good video! So good to see you’re having fun
Me: exists Bro instantly: *THIS VIDEO IS SPO-*
Man, I love you Alax. I could literally put any title in your videos that I would watch it. That continuous DK scream on every video, your amazing delivery of humour, that continuous DK scream on every video, the themes you choose... You're amazing dude! 😂
I have never seen anyone remotely think about what new characters would have as their crusty wii mote sounds... but now you have me intrigued.
I'm really loving all these intros you make. This one has to be in my top 5 door entrances.

Two vids in a row this is amazing
Unironically would love to hear a crunchy wiimote sound effect for every single character now. Crunchy Dragon Quest level up sound! Imagine the possibilities!
I fell of with watching your channel a while back but im glad im tuning back in, there’s something so charming about the way you do your videos
I love your content style! Brings me back to the frantic days of fun KZread. Don't stop dude!
Bro the edits were incredible 👌
A next Smash Bros really need to reimagine every character that is included. I still think smash and tilt should be two separate buttons, which allows guaranteed inputs but also one new attack: neutral smash. The inputs need some rework too, such as option for dedicated short and full jump if you want, and grab not being just shield+attack since that causes some issues already.

This video was awesome, dude! Had a lot of fun watching it. Also, congratulations on 10 years of video-creating. Been really happy to follow you since that Ridley video all the way back then and seeing how your style has changed over time. Really happy for you, and your stuff makes my day better. Thanks, Alax!
The thing I loved the most about For 3DS was that the UI was on the lower screen. The Upper screen looked so clean
Instead of the 7 emeralds sonic could have the boost meter, I imagined that after up-b instead of doing nothing with specials you can do tricks with the special button like sonic rush.
I keep an eye on the opponent’s damage and my own so I know what kind of strategies can work throughout the match. Having UI parts like meters close to the numbers makes it easy to keep track of things
This is the perfect birthday present, I always wanted someone to talk about Smash Bros UI
This is such a cool unique topic to address and breakdown. Well done! 👏🏻 very thought provoking.
Glad to see you're still around after 10 years RelaxAlax, it's always great to watch you have in store next! 🔥🔥🙏
I’ve been here a long damn time, and I’m excited to see where you go from here on alax, you’re one of my all time favorite KZread creators
there is an additional setting to have the score on
excellent video. Classic alax. keep up the great work!
Yes the perfect thing to watch after getting back from school
I want the next Smash game to just throw all convention out the window. Let the player rearrange the ENTIRE fighter select screen, and even have the character tiles remember the last used alt colors. Then include built-in menu layouts (ultimate style, smash 4 style, etc.). People would spend hours doing that, like RE4's inventory. You could even make tier lists in-game
@Sponsie1000
Ай бұрын
Speaking of throwing out all conventions, l really wanted smashUltimate to have an option in the Controls called "Switch", and when you hold that button your controls get switched to your secondary control scheme. Like, l use TiltStick normally, but then l could make it so that when l hold ZR my right joystick is now set to smash-stick. Sure it's kinda niche, but it'd also be fully optional so no harm no foul :]
@gamejitzu
Ай бұрын
@@Sponsie1000 Like a feature that can switch your primary and secondary controls at any time? Sounds niche at first, but it actually does sound useful the more I think about it. Like it could make all those situational techs way more practical. Or help beginners close the gap with experienced players if they take the time to learn how it works
@Sponsie1000
Ай бұрын
@@gamejitzu Yeah, l'm envisioning like just how you can set your buttons to do Shield/Jump/Attack etcc one of those options would be Switch, and holding a Switch-button would swap your controls to your secondary control-scheme and vice versa. l think casuals probably wont have any use for that since it's probably too overwhelming, but it could be cool for situational techs that require certain alternate control-schemes yeah, that way you can have your regular controls for 99% of the time and have your more niche/specific controls for the few moments you need them. And l'd just like to swap from tilt-stick to smash-stick whenever l happen to break a shield lmao
man i wanted someone do this video and it was alex . happy 10 years
Robin forgotten as always 😔 Ultimate added a meter to see how much durability is left on your most recently used tome or levin sword!
I was half expecting the unreleased Jack Black minecraft song, but I guess I'm the only one who's heard it
Congrats on the decade.
Alax I want you to know that the Donkey Kong "OOOOOOO" bit gets a laugh out of me every single time.
I love the theme of him coming into the room and doing something different every time. idk why but im always like "whats he gonna do this time!"
Bros casually making the best content he's ever made I've been around since the smash 4 prediction days, it's awesome to see your progress! Keep it up :)
Incredible as always
Haven’t seen Alax in years and it feels like I never left
It's a good day when alax uploads
The gag of leaving the room and grabbing a crt tv will never get old
you know, this is one of the things that i don't realize when playing, i mean the UI serves to show you what is happening but i didn't realize that it never gives you specific information (or that makes sense)
Out of left field but the "i need a max win" "grandma, you just got a hip replacement" got a chuckle out of me.. Good video dude 👍
Brawl also added the focus on more music per stage
I love the smash bros ultimate UI for FP. The blue-yellow gradient of the series icons is so delicious
Looking Cool, Alax
5:28 Was that line sentence mixed?
fighting game ui's are an interesting subject considering on how varied they are from game to game
I actually like that there’s no score indicator in the timed game mode. It’s suspenseful to see who wins
RelaxAlax on fire with the uploads🎉
fun fact: this is canonically the first time in the intro edit era where Alax actually goes back out the door he entered from
Oh yeah Alax dropping another banger ‼️‼️
Before Alax starts an idea for a video, he makes sure to add the donkey kong falling sound effect into a folder for it
new video = new creative way to include the dk falling scene
In Rivals of aether, G&W has his bucket UI and SO FRIGGIN USEFUL
Ah, back to our regularly scheduled Relaxing and Alaxing
you're one of the very, VERY few youtubers that when i click on a video i like it immediately without watching a second of it
I love videos like yours man, the only good smashtuber right now
10 years later Alax talking about smash
I love the crunched up Wii mote sounds, to this day I do the clips when I pick the characters that got them in Brawl 😂
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Alax made a review about every multiman melee throughout all smash games.....Actually-
9:00 Yeah hes a sonic fan.
I'd like to imagine that piranha plant's crunchy wiimote audio would be something like the pipe sound effect followed up by mario screaming in his overly compressed glory
Shoutout to the time my older cousin let us use his GameCube at a family event and when we played Melee, my other cousin kept calling the percentage "interest rate"
Writing Staff "needs helps" 😂
Whoever tagged the start to cut right at "this video is spons" deserves a raise
Steve's crunchy sound should be his iconic "ouh"
i can't wait for alax to cover dept heaven ui's
"Hero's entire family lineage" don't think we didn't see that
Ok I know it was like 3% of the video but now I'm intrigued as to what everyone's Wiimote sound effect would be if they kept the feature and updated it for future games
Thanks for mentioning Olimar I know characters need the UI as that delimits their fighting style (like Inkling for example as you need to take in mind your ink meter) but... so it is for Olimar? Instead of an icon to represent the pikmin you'll use for the next move, you only get a tiny arrow over the selected pikmin, arrow which you won't notice unless you're standing still. It's also frustrating because the pikmin games' hud easily indicate what type of pikmin you have selected
Hero's wii-mote sound would be him moaning from a puff puff
10:47 Glad you still stuck in the GOAT noise
I wonder what Monika's moveset will be once she takes over smash
Everyone knows Steve's wiimote sound bite would be the cave sound effect
