Two things I love about this: a) The fact that all the heats were color-coordinated in the first event (I don't know if that was on purpose or not, but it made me smile) b) The fact that one of the Wolfpack marbles is named Sheep. Brilliant.
Crazy how they're scoring better in the Showdown than in the actual League! Even a Record on the first two Events. Maybe this will be even more competitive than the League.
I think i might become a Wolfpack fan after that performance! A cool logo, nice looking marbles, LOVE the athletes names, and most importantly, they’ve been getting good results! Can’t wait to see more from them! #Wolfpack 🐺
Wolfpack is ELECTRIC, showing up for the first time and immediately having results, they’re young, their hungry, and they play like they have something to prove! I look forward to continued success
Exactly, such a great new team! They just got the spot to be my third favorite team! After Minty Maniacs and Chocolatiers, unfortunately both suffering in the main league... Still, wonderful new and veteran teams to root for and I already do! Awoooo!
Never doubt these teams who didn’t qualify for ML22. Showdown’s always a fun and exciting day for these lesser known teams to show the world what they’re made of! (Usually it’s glass)
it should be a total of the two runs, not just the better of two runs. by doing in like that, solar flares won with 67points, one ahead of black jacks (66), then plasma with 61, then limers (59) and purple rockets with 57. imagine, plasma could have scored 39 and 39, and still lost to the hazers, who scored 2 in the first run, but could still have won the event with a perfect 40. slightly unfair, no?
I’m already rooting for the Wolfpack to get into the Marble League next year. They put on some commendable performances today, and between their appearances and their names, they really stand out quite a bit from their competitors. Here’s hoping for some good things from them down the line.
@Airedale191 I'll cheer for the Oceanics sometimes. I'll take them over the O'Rangers and the any day. Turtle Sliders impressed me today. In the qualified games, I've been behind the Shining Swarm, but I'll be happy if the Savage Speeders beat the Pinkies.
That very first run in the wave scared the heck out of me. Glad they made up for it in the second run, but boy it's been an inconsistent year for them. Here's hoping they get their rhythm back in time for next season!
As a lover of wolves myself, seeing a team with a wolf theme is pretty amazing. And the Wolfpack gave us a great opening performance. They may sit just off the podium at 4th place for now, but as has been proven time and time again, even a single heat in a single event can jumble the standings. My hope is that in the end, they do indeed #LeadThePack and take home the Showdown Gold!
Right?! That Wave score was nuts! I’ve been looking for a few more teams to root for (Midnight Wisps are getting wrecked this year and my backups Rojo Rollers didn’t qualify 😔) and Team Plasma has certainly caught my attention.
@@BlueValleyTS I've been interested in them as a second team since the O'rangers are phoning it in this season. It's between them and Pinkies. I've had a soft spot for the pinkies since last Marbula One.
There are still brief flashes of brilliance but it doesn't seem like their heads are fully in the game. I think they did set a record in the wave, just not a good one.

@@wa-egg9666 and I'm happy for you, my first ML was 2018 and I just feel for the Oceanic and it's been pain ever since.

Now my hope réside with the BlackJacks who I hope will be worth every one teaming up to bring them back from Hubelino.

There are lots of visible gaps in the Oceanics crowd. They've either lost faith, or some fans couldn't be there atter the riot. Either way, the crew knows how much it hurts to support the Oceanics. #RideTheWave
I'm so glad the turtle sliders are starting to do well! They've been not so great the past few years and they haven't qualified since I've been watching, but I'm a big fan of theirs
Turtle Sliders and team Momo spoilers: So happy for the turtle sliders. It's about time they achieve something. As for team Momo something is off. The team is full of veterans who might be getting too old for the sport. Might be time to bring in a rookie to try to boost what was once a competitive team. Mimo was screwed by the course not much he could do and he more than proved his worth in marbula one. Momomo has also been pretty good. Momo as the new captain has lead this team to misery. Momomomo just isn't the same after 2 injuries. Mo has been fine but nothing special. What the team could use to improve. Make Momomo captain, give mimo a full time spot. Keep mo as your 4th. Make momo the reserve and bring in a top tier prospect to be the new number 3. So basically the ranking for the team would be Momomo is your top tier Mimo/New guy for 2 and 3 to be individual/duo event participants when Momomo needs a rest. Mo as your 4th only really does team events. Momo as a reserver just in case. Let Momomomo retire and/or take over as coach. Momomomomo is far past their expiration date as coach. If the manager Memo refuses to make any moves after this showdown performance, they can go too.
@@LugborG I still think they need to change up the roster. This team has been through so much and the mileage is starting to show. I'd love to see Momomomo retire healthy and move into a coaching role
@@gordons9 You’re assuming they age like humans do. Maybe they’re like lobsters where they don’t really age at all after a certain point. I don’t think we can say for certain, unless they release a documentary about the biology of marbles. What we do know is that they absolutely need a different coaching strategy, and they could definitely do with some time to refocus their efforts. (I’m saying we definitely need a “Biology of Marbles” special as a fun off season video.)
@@LugborG I'd really enjoy more documentaries during the off seasons on like team histories and what not. Teams have had member changes before and I think Momo is gonna be the next to do so.

I love the little marbles in the stands getting to watch the events, they're adorable! #foundroldo he's only visible for a second at 8:49 just to the left of the feet of the duck holding the marble league flame. I bet he's got a good view!
Loving what Team Plasma is showing, their Ghost Plasma heritage is really shining through! Hazers, though - this is heartbreaking. I always thought them one of the most promising teams in the Marble League proper. And now... not only failing to qualify, but showing this poorly in the showdown. Breaks the heart.
I think after getting that 39 on waves, Team Plasma knew they weren't topping that and just decided to have a little bit of fun. Very understandable reaction.
Team Momo has the worst luck ever. Here I am seeing them break a record and thinking maybe they were actually gonna do something special, only to get a DNF in the next event. On a different note I am loving the Wolfpack! Hope to see them in the main tournament someday!
Hazers are still shaky, but I'm glad to see them pulling it together again! I hope this is a sign the new team line-up are starting to find their rhythm! The Wolfpack are fantastic! Racing like any team with a captain named Balto should be! I love with the Showdown getting to see some less-seen teams show their stuff! It's great to see Turtle Sliders getting to shine!
Really liking Team Plasma. They’re showing a lot of potential. I hope they can make it into the marble league in the future to get a chance to show their skills.
I hope you guys get the sponsors and/or patreon money you need. It's hard seeing all this hard work without the reflecting view figures. Promote your Patreon!
The two DNFs early on in the water race should be a clear indicator that it's an even that either needs to be cut or a solution found. This goes along with how the marbles slow down / get stuck on the left side.
Shouldn’t there be a difference from Showdown (and others) and the League? Kinda like how irl, there’s a World Record and an Olympic Record. Love the channel!!!
excited to see Wolfpack in action next season ! anyone else sometimes imagine the marbles as human athletes ? I was picturing a team helping Azure and Mimo out of the water and them shivering a little with towels around their shoulders, haha. it's a shame that that track defect got in both of their way in the water race. I was so proud of that record during the 5 meter sprint. Team Momo is my favorite team and I'm happy to see them in the showdown even if they're not exactly placing well right now :)
Very proud of the Turtle Sliders today, but my goodness Oceanics. This is embarrassing. It seems that any change that the team makes isn't working, and it's frustrating a long time supporter of the team.
Finally! It was fun to see the new teams make their debut, especially Purple Rockets after watching them in Marble Mania X! Spoilers: And BOY, are the new teams showing some skill! Especially Wolfpack, Team Plasma and Black Jacks! I'm sure you can do well too, Purple Rockets! But my goodness! Turtle Sliders! With only just being the top of the elimination bracket on the 5m sprint, you placed fairly in the middle for Wave, top 4 for the water race, and winning the 5m relay! Awesome! And I thought you had troubles with tight lanes ever since M1 and Qualifiers, but all of you have managed it so well!
There are some very nice teams in here... Wolfpack and Black Jacks are speed devils! Imagine them joining in Marbula One! I can see them being bitter rivals, for sure!
6:22 As someone who has studied this event, this is an example of what NOT to do. If you play the replay in slow motion, you can see that the Hazers almost NEVER collide with the Black Jacks, or even each other. The back marble was the only collision (which was too early), other than the one at the edge of the catch basin (which was too late). When a team does not collide at all, they don’t slow down. This causes them to decelerate far too slowly, causing them to reach the catch basin. What you want to do instead, is have about 2 collisions from the back of the opposing team around the 6-7 troughs. This will get you enough time to slow down at a quick enough rate. *Yes, these events all have strategy.*
SO EXCITED FOR THE SHOWDOWN! Wishing the best of luck to all the teams competing today! Let’s go Jungle Jumpers! Edit: Jungle Jumpers are cutting it really close 😅 we’re barely holding onto the last transfer spot.
@@BayWa4eva beating the snowballs is easy to do but the current oceanics is not the same team that made it to 5 ml's in a row that team would destroy the showdown but now they are washed and need to recruit more young talent
Limers and turtle sliders fan who's keeping eyes on the rockets, and we did amazing! Limers had some hiccups in the last two and same for the turtles in the first two but on the whole super solid jobs by both with real chances at a podium/win and hopefully no relegation!
WOW, amazing results, especially for a Showdown! I'm still hoping the Purple Rockets will turn it around in part 2, but it's been an incredible showing all around so far!
Nice to see the blackjacks have an ace up their sleeve as usual. Also nice to see some of the new comer teems do quite well, especially the wolves. Hope they and Blackjacks do well for the rest of the showdown.
Good to see The Thunderbolts back in action, even if it was a bit of a rocky start. Glad that not qualifying for the first time didn't dampen their competitive spirit!
20:34 oof, gotta be frustrating for the Rojo Rollers getting a faster time than every run the 2nd and 3rd place finishers got, and yet only getting 9th.
Turtle Sliders reminded everyone that they own the Relay event through their team cohesion. But can we talk about Plasma's comeback in the semi-finals? What a final leg.
Glad Blackjacks are back from retirement after Hubelino. Also glad some of these new teams actually came to compete rather then fall into meh territory.Curious how this continues for Plasma, Purple Rockets, and Wolfpack
With the impressive performance of Momomo in the sprint, Team Momo should seriously consider including them in next year’s Marbula One lineup. Of course, racing is more than sprinting, but with some focused training they should be able to utilise that explosive acceleration on the circuit.
Team Momo have never had a problem with top speed, at circuits with the banking we've tended to use those sections for some great acceleration and as passing opportunities. The thing that really hurts Momo is circuits with heavy stops and the first lap pileups. More often than not we've lost so many places on the opening lap that any speed we do have is wasted behind all the traffic.
It's gotta be tough on your confidence as a rookie to come into a solo event and have a DNF. Hopefully Mimo can shake it off and grow into a star in the years to come!
Love the content guys. Would it be possible to try and create another new team into the line up. The Billiards, Ace, Deuce, Quad, Cinco, and The Ocho, Coach by the Legend himself Red 3.
Me at the beginning of the video: “As both a playing card collector and a JMR fan, I am SO READY to root for the BlackJacks! Let’s see how they do.” Also I thought it was a nice touch that the Oceanics section was a little thinner and less enthusiastic… sorry guys 😔 [sympathetic shoulder-pats all the Oceanics fans] I would’ve loved to see a comeback-kid story for y’all in 2020 or 2021 too. I’m a Midnight Wisps fan, soooo… the sympathy is real, my fellow struggle-bus passengers. The sympathy is SO real. Me after the video: “OH MY GOD LOOK AT ‘EM GOOOOOO!!! 🤩🥳🙌 I am SOLD! I’m ALL IN on the BlackJacks. Do we have a hashtag? How about #BetItAllOnBlack? #BlackJackAttack? #DoubleDown? Ooh, how about #21ToWin?? omg I am living my absolute best life right now. This may be the most fun I’ve ever had watching the League! Wisps, Rollers… 🫡 sorry guys, I have a new favorite. I still love ya, but it’s a BlackJacks life for me now!” JMR has done it again-they’ve provided me with so much entertainment and got me all excited about an intrepid team of marbles. Truly you’re all doing great things on this channel 🥰
Two things I love about this:
a) The fact that all the heats were color-coordinated in the first event (I don't know if that was on purpose or not, but it made me smile)
b) The fact that one of the Wolfpack marbles is named Sheep. Brilliant.
Crazy how they're scoring better in the Showdown than in the actual League! Even a Record on the first two Events. Maybe this will be even more competitive than the League.
I think the thought of being relegated pushes these teams to do well
But they are so inconsistent though. Basically only had enough roll in them for 1 push and thats it.
Bro what are we doing? They're marbles
Sometimes the lack of pressure of being on the top stage allows them to loosen up and really perform.
@@myphotos9502 Superbly conditioned and extremely motivated marbles.
Hazers scoring 2 is the funniest thing I've ever seen
They must have the record low score - an achievement in itself! Go Hazers!

I like them too, also Blackjack
Wolfpack is my favourite team too!
I prefer the fan poll name they had: Knights of the Round.
They are going to be a team to look out for in the future.
Wolfpack is back causing mass destruction
I think scoring 2 in swing wave is harder to do than scoring 39.
Yeah it is, which I'd guess is a course design so that the only way to score that low is with collisions, which deters foul play or poor launch.
it should be a total of the two runs, not just the better of two runs. by doing in like that, solar flares won with 67points, one ahead of black jacks (66), then plasma with 61, then limers (59) and purple rockets with 57.
imagine, plasma could have scored 39 and 39, and still lost to the hazers, who scored 2 in the first run, but could still have won the event with a perfect 40. slightly unfair, no?

Can't wait for the Showdown! Good luck to all the teams! Let's go, Indigo Stars! 🌟
@@willmellquist5401 I guess they forgot to add it.
I’m rooting for the indigo stars because I love the color indigo and their cheer is so fun
Love this! Can we get an updated cheers and chants for all of our new teams? I heard a Black Jack chant like the Batman theme song, and I adore it!
excited to see Wolfpack in action next season ! anyone else sometimes imagine the marbles as human athletes ?
I was picturing a team helping Azure and Mimo out of the water and them shivering a little with towels around their shoulders, haha. it's a shame that that track defect got in both of their way in the water race. I was so proud of that record during the 5 meter sprint. Team Momo is my favorite team and I'm happy to see them in the showdown even if they're not exactly placing well right now :)
Team Plasma doing great!! I hope we get to see a lot more of them, they’re colors are so pretty!
Team Plasma out of nowhere! I love to see a team come out of retirement swinging. Also, wow, since when have the Sliders been that fast?
extra shell wax?
Well, they did win a race in M1.
The team is starting to become solid in team events but dash is the star of the team
I think they've been training hard, just like all the other teams.
Cmon Hazers, you're too good to be out of the main games. Who else can break my heart by almost winning but then not qquuuiiiiteee bringing it home?
Very proud of the Turtle Sliders today, but my goodness Oceanics. This is embarrassing. It seems that any change that the team makes isn't working, and it's frustrating a long time supporter of the team.
Finally! It was fun to see the new teams make their debut, especially Purple Rockets after watching them in Marble Mania X!
Spoilers:
And BOY, are the new teams showing some skill! Especially Wolfpack, Team Plasma and Black Jacks! I'm sure you can do well too, Purple Rockets!
But my goodness! Turtle Sliders! With only just being the top of the elimination bracket on the 5m sprint, you placed fairly in the middle for Wave, top 4 for the water race, and winning the 5m relay! Awesome! And I thought you had troubles with tight lanes ever since M1 and Qualifiers, but all of you have managed it so well!
There are some very nice teams in here... Wolfpack and Black Jacks are speed devils! Imagine them joining in Marbula One! I can see them being bitter rivals, for sure!
6:22 As someone who has studied this event, this is an example of what NOT to do. If you play the replay in slow motion, you can see that the Hazers almost NEVER collide with the Black Jacks, or even each other. The back marble was the only collision (which was too early), other than the one at the edge of the catch basin (which was too late).
When a team does not collide at all, they don’t slow down. This causes them to decelerate far too slowly, causing them to reach the catch basin. What you want to do instead, is have about 2 collisions from the back of the opposing team around the 6-7 troughs. This will get you enough time to slow down at a quick enough rate.
*Yes, these events all have strategy.*
The Showdown this year has such an eclectic mix of young upstart teams like the Wolfpack with legacy teams like the Oceanics.
Roldo is just under the ceremonial duck at 8:50
first time I've ever seen it naturally, cool!
SO EXCITED FOR THE SHOWDOWN! Wishing the best of luck to all the teams competing today! Let’s go Jungle Jumpers!
Edit: Jungle Jumpers are cutting it really close 😅 we’re barely holding onto the last transfer spot.
to be honest everything better than second to last is a much appreciated surprise. the one team we beat obviously are the Noceanics
@@BayWa4eva beating the snowballs is easy to do but the current oceanics is not the same team that made it to 5 ml's in a row that team would destroy the showdown but now they are washed and need to recruit more young talent
Greg Woods really makes it great with the exciting commentary!
Limers and turtle sliders fan who's keeping eyes on the rockets, and we did amazing! Limers had some hiccups in the last two and same for the turtles in the first two but on the whole super solid jobs by both with real chances at a podium/win and hopefully no relegation!
WOW, amazing results, especially for a Showdown! I'm still hoping the Purple Rockets will turn it around in part 2, but it's been an incredible showing all around so far!
Mimo getting stuck in the water run.... just our luck, and after such a good showing in the sprint.
Ghost Plasms is one of my favorite marbles! So cool to see a Plasma team! I'm rooting for them!!
Nice to see the blackjacks have an ace up their sleeve as usual. Also nice to see some of the new comer teems do quite well, especially the wolves. Hope they and Blackjacks do well for the rest of the showdown.
I love the "MOMO" chant when Team MoMo competes
Team Plasma clinching the record! N would be proud.
Good to see The Thunderbolts back in action, even if it was a bit of a rocky start. Glad that not qualifying for the first time didn't dampen their competitive spirit!
Being a Team Momo faithful is pain ...
20:34 oof, gotta be frustrating for the Rojo Rollers getting a faster time than every run the 2nd and 3rd place finishers got, and yet only getting 9th.
I am a pinkies Fan but Wolf pack and Plasma are looking interesting!....Poor Hazers...I like them too but they need to get it together!
Turtle Sliders reminded everyone that they own the Relay event through their team cohesion. But can we talk about Plasma's comeback in the semi-finals? What a final leg.
Good to see the Hazers back in action. After that first run on the Swing Wave, I was beginning to wonder but the final position on the table was OK.
Is this a real video? TURTLE SLIDERS?!?! Since WHEN do they do well like this?!?! Craziness!
They did win a race back in Marbula 1.
Glad Blackjacks are back from retirement after Hubelino. Also glad some of these new teams actually came to compete rather then fall into meh territory.Curious how this continues for Plasma, Purple Rockets, and Wolfpack
That was one of the best comebacks I've seen so far from Team Plasma. Hope they place well by the end of the Showdown!
With the impressive performance of Momomo in the sprint, Team Momo should seriously consider including them in next year’s Marbula One lineup. Of course, racing is more than sprinting, but with some focused training they should be able to utilise that explosive acceleration on the circuit.
Team Momo have never had a problem with top speed, at circuits with the banking we've tended to use those sections for some great acceleration and as passing opportunities. The thing that really hurts Momo is circuits with heavy stops and the first lap pileups. More often than not we've lost so many places on the opening lap that any speed we do have is wasted behind all the traffic.
also, they could shorten their name as 3MO
Really enjoy this... hopefully you find some big sponsors.
Go Limers!
🙏
WELP I have a whole new second team. Still Galactic for life but Wolfpack is definitely on my radar for next season!
Happy to see new teams making their way up the leaderboard.
What a crazy Showdown. Looking forward to seeing the next half of this
It's gotta be tough on your confidence as a rookie to come into a solo event and have a DNF. Hopefully Mimo can shake it off and grow into a star in the years to come!
Love the content guys. Would it be possible to try and create another new team into the line up. The Billiards, Ace, Deuce, Quad, Cinco, and The Ocho, Coach by the Legend himself Red 3.
Me at the beginning of the video: “As both a playing card collector and a JMR fan, I am SO READY to root for the BlackJacks! Let’s see how they do.”
Also I thought it was a nice touch that the Oceanics section was a little thinner and less enthusiastic… sorry guys 😔 [sympathetic shoulder-pats all the Oceanics fans] I would’ve loved to see a comeback-kid story for y’all in 2020 or 2021 too. I’m a Midnight Wisps fan, soooo… the sympathy is real, my fellow struggle-bus passengers. The sympathy is SO real.
Me after the video: “OH MY GOD LOOK AT ‘EM GOOOOOO!!! 🤩🥳🙌 I am SOLD! I’m ALL IN on the BlackJacks. Do we have a hashtag? How about #BetItAllOnBlack? #BlackJackAttack? #DoubleDown? Ooh, how about #21ToWin?? omg I am living my absolute best life right now. This may be the most fun I’ve ever had watching the League! Wisps, Rollers… 🫡 sorry guys, I have a new favorite. I still love ya, but it’s a BlackJacks life for me now!”
JMR has done it again-they’ve provided me with so much entertainment and got me all excited about an intrepid team of marbles. Truly you’re all doing great things on this channel 🥰
the Black Jacks' hashtag is officially #SuitUp
I like Double Down
You can see that those marbles gave it their all and risked everything. There were some beautiful scores and so many 0 back in the first event.
Team Wolfpack have impressed me. I hope we'll see them in the Marble League next season.
I also like their distinct look (and names). They really stand out!
Big coming out for the Woldpack huh?? That fan section sounds fun
Definitely looking forward to seeing more of the wolfpack. Looks like they're on the prowl!
If you don’t have a patreon, you should consider starting one. Fans of this will make damn sure you can do this as long as you want
That Wave even was crazy! A 39, a 2, AND a 38!?!?!
Goooo'Rangers!
