This Smash Pro PAID to Win a Tournament
Ойындар
Coney tells a tale about one of the most innovative tournaments ever created in the history of gaming, where players are encouraged to negotiate and create deals with each other in order to determine who moves on in this supposedly single-elimination Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Online Wi-Fi tournament.

Theory: Sharp's goal was Hot Juans from the start, he only used the trophy as a way to make Hbox concede easier Which, if true, makes the mind games that much more impressive

It's obvious. There's no way hbox parts with the stick for a random wifi tourney. It was just to anchor the "value" of the win as way higher than it should be.

It's called the "Door in Face" technique. I.E. It's like you're a door-to-door salesman and your offer would make them slam their door in your face. A clever ploy, since they're now thinking on a bigger scale. $100 bucks seems like a lot of money, but it's small compared to $1000. It can be pretty risky though. They might just walk away (or in terms of door-to-door, shoo you away).
That 2v1 Share stock guy was a genius, lost my shit laughing at that
My favorite moment was when someone was bartering with hbox. The guy was trying to get hbox to fight him. He said "I'm the best Ness in Ecuador." Hbox retorted, "I'm Hungrybox."

Gotta love that "You're not negotiating properly" line from HBox at 17:24. That's how you know Sharp's negotiating extremely well.

It's sad that Mario Party Superstars wasn't out at this time cause I would have definitely done that
Hungrybox has demonstrated the sedative powers of his popoffs before... but to think they were this powerful...
That was a TOP LEVEL move by Sharp. He knew HBox would never give up the stick, he was just priming him. The 300 dollars? That just made him more comfortable, after all he had been paying money + influence all tournament. All that setup, catching him off guard by starting negotions first, Sharp may have come second but he truly won in my eyes. Even in conversation he is a top level competitor and earned his reward.

You claim that Hbox is a malcontent and Sharp is valiant, but this cannot be further from the truth. In a tournament advertised as a bloodbath, Hbox chose methods of peace; he only slew one contender, a contender who refused to accept an offer of wealth and survival, insisting on having the death match that he came for. Can the same be said for Sharp? How many good people died by his hand before the conclusion of the tournament?

Nay, twas the famished box who devoured the souls of his would-be opponents, and forced them to live on as their own lesser halves, trapped in life as if he had buried them alive. I would that they’d die a thousand deaths before allowing their warrior’s fiery spirit to be smothered but instead now their spirit and their honor lay forever in the belly of the box, torn from them irreparably. Sharp allowed his opponents both the swiftness and glory of a warrior’s death: the box and his trickery swayed them to a dark path where they would never know it.

No he even changes the image for each one, he knew the difference and that they both have the power to launch you out of a tournament
At first I was like "Oh? Is this about another slimy player?" but then I saw... That was the ACTUAL POINT of the tournament. Honestly a fun idea.
"Lag switches are not just legal, but encouraged" - this needs to be a recurring thing. No more complaining about lag, everyone gets a lag switch and it's a fair and even playing field.
The rivals grand finals was also a hell of a thing to behold. The entire Rivals bracket was too honestly. It was a much smaller event but it was a ton of fun as well. My opponent and I round one played 100% accurate workshop characters and it's probably the best bracket experience I've ever had the privilege of having.

And to this day, naitosharp has still not appeared on hot juans
Coney caught a glimpse of the tournament-recap content, picked up his influencing gauntlet and said "fine, I'll do it myself"
I cant Belive Sharp still never went to hot Juans
Anytime you're telling a story it's legit top tiered content. It shows. The hard work and effort. I appreciate you Coney.
WhyDo looks EXACTLY like the type of person who would create a chaotic tournament like this
this was fantastic, I've never commented on your stuff before but this had me on the edge of my seat for SO long that I gave my own mom a convoluted explanation of what was going on because it had me GRIPPED from start to finish
Sad that the first guy I played against in this turney just wanted to play a regular match and I lost round 1 :(
Hbox when Liquid says they can have Sharp on hot juans: "I've won... exactly as planned"
Ran out of things to watch while building gunpla, so I've been looking for videos like this. Perfect timing! I also couldn't watch this tournament sadly, so a video like this is exactly what I needed. More than welcome for more videos like these whenever they come around!
No joke, this was the most captivating Smash content video since 2013. I mean I wasn't able to follow the tournament when it happened and only got some snippets here and there, so massive credit to the event and the people surrounding it. But the writing and editing in this video was incredible. For me, not knowing 99% of what happened before hand, this video was kinda too much (good) to even process in one sitting lol.
This video essay format of video was really entertaining and a nice change of pace, definitely would like to see more!
This was such a rollercoaster of emotions

I love boosting new and unique styles of video from my favorite content creator, Coney!
They have to do this again next year, this is easily one of the best tournaments of ANYTHING I've ever seen, I wouldn't miss it for the world if they ran another
Absolutely loved this video! You brought out the storylines so well and it was compelling throughout, what a tournament!
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this channel, CONEY is a genuinely amazing orator. Blessed content

This is easily some of my favorite funny Smash content in a HOT second. We have plenty of great longform, serious documentary style stuff. But damn, you got the narrative and the tone so goddamn on point. Good job dude
I know you do a lot of highlights from steams and I do really enjoy those but this was fantastic. I think stepping more into this type of content suits you really quite well, you know how to sell a good story.
Scripted Coney is one of the best things I've ever seen, considering the character and the usual quality that for better or worse has us used to
19:35 my favorite part of this story was you mentioning HungryBox using his power… for good. The tournament in total was just pure gold and this video alone made me want to follow both of you.
Shoutouts to that one guy that was running a Clash Royale bracket *in* a Smash tournament.
Without exaggeration this was one of the most entertaining smash videos I've seen, the narration, the storyline and editing, everything was really well done and written Props to coney for the quality, I'm definitely subscribing 👍
I genuinely mean this Coney, you have a great narrator voice and I would love if you did more scripted stuff like this, this video's is straight up one of your best
This is one of the most entertaining videos I have ever watched. Hungry box is a villain and an amazing one at that.

This has to be a yearly event, it’s by far the highest level of competition in smash
Great recap, this tournament was very fun to watch live and I hope we get to see more of its kind.
You gotta make more of these, insane video format. Mad refreshing.
this style of video needs to make a return on this channel, it was too good. I love the smash content as of late, but I'd also enjoy seeing this style with other types of games or topics. keep it up, man!

Comparing the noble trebuchet to the godless catapult is an affront to mankind.
I really like this kind of longform video, and a great subject matter too. Hope to see more.
What about how Hungrybox found out that the fight stick is worth at least about $35,000 or something like that?
Coney I'm glad you took the risk to long form scripted content cause this is GOOD.
Best video I've seen on your channel yet! I'd love to see more stuff like this
this is actually such a good video! would love to see more like this!
I hope this tournament becomes annual, it is amazing
I was in this tournament and I had no idea any of this happened this was incredible
I didn’t get to watch much of the tourney on twitch but I did get to experience it second hand through Twitter after the fact, which was a hilarious experience. Coney captured that same exact energy in this video which I couldn’t be happier about
Amazing video. This stuff + your storytimes are you best content imo. Keep it up!

Bruh, did you just call a trebuchet a “catapult.” Now, the catapult that you are thinking of is actually referred to as a mangonel, as technically, a trebuchet is actually a type of catapult. However, for the sake of simplicity, I shall refer to trebuchets as trebuchets and mangonels as catapults. Now, as you may know, an ordinary trebuchet can launch a 90kg projectile 300m via the usage of a counterweight, but a catapult’s method of propulsion is quite different. A catapult uses tension force to launch its projectiles, similar to the noble ballista, but as where the ballista uses tension along the middle of a rope or wire, a catapult uses this rope in a form of pulley system to launch its arm forwards to hurl a projectile. Now, why does this fail in comparison to the trebuchet? well, there are many reasons. the pulley system used by a catapult not only creates a larger amount of friction than the counterweight/pivot system of the trebuchet, the force generated is smaller, as the tension force of even a large catapult cannot match the gravitational force generated by the counterweight of a trebuchet. Alas, the catapult works against gravity moreso than the trebuchet, which is designed to intelligently use gravity in its favor. this is why even a small trebuchet that can be constructed in one’s backyard can launch projectiles far better than a standard issue catapult.
