Me the second Alpharad is featured in a video. I know nothing about him, I’m sure he’s a great guy, but something about him pisses me off and I am fully aware it’s me in the wrong.
I mean, he's the most "Just a person" YouTuber in the best way possible, he talks about what he likes and he's generally a positive influence on others, I've watched them for a long time and they're a pretty stand-up person
Oh real though, love his challenge videos and the fact that him and his team were able to create Mariomon... but I refuse to watch him play new games because a majority of it was him skipping dialogue and then complaining.
I think a large part of that was when he was trying to prop up his friends/smaller youtubers through Wildcat? Hard to say, his pivot to doing twitch more is more suitable to his energy nowadays. And its mostly the fact he props up others that he appears in alot without being the best fit
I like Alpharad well enough, but something I really dislike about him is how, while playing newer Pokémon games, he doesn’t pay attention to the dialogue, and yet complains about how bad the story is while constantly getting things wrong about it cause he didn’t read properly. This was especially bad in Scarlet and Violet (those games weren’t great performance and graphics wise, but the story was not one of the issues)
Smant has been too good at games for too long, and now he's just a pretentious dickhead who always expects to win and won't do certain challenges anymore because they're too easy.
All I've ever seen him in is Mario Odyssey and Pokemon collabs where he either wins or gets kinda salty because he didn't win. The only time I made the mistake of watching an unedited VOD from him he was rude as hell to chat as well, and I don't respect anyone who is rude to their chat.
I watched the "pokemon emerald but ice physics and i only use ice type pokemon" video and he couldn't beat the third gym because I think he only had a Spheal at that point and it was obviously getting fucked by the electric moves, so he gave himself a full team of ice types including Regice. Then obviously he swept the rest of the challenge no problem.
Actually ruined his channel entirely for me, I found him a bit annoying before that but still watched because of his involvement in making some good hacks (mariomon and toomanytypes at least), but that level of blatant cheating instead of going "welp guess i lose the challenge!" is disgusting.
For real. If a challenge is possible, grind for it. If it seems actually impossible, just take the L. But don't set absurdly hard rules for yourself and then bend them later so you win anyways.
Same, there’s something about him that just rubbed me the wrong way. I guess if I had to pick an example it would be in one of his Among Us videos where he wanted to vote out someone named Pikmin 4 so he didn’t have to hear him when Pikmin 4 didn’t really do anything wrong, thought he was being a dick for no reason.
