Realistic graphics? Huge player rosters? State of the art sound and field design? Get out of my face with that shit, this is the best baseball game ever made.
For context... This is a Japanese baseball game called 98Koshien. It has the feature of allowing players to create their own pitching animations. This is what happens when you want your opponent to go insane.
"BALK! THAT'S GOTTA BE A BALK UMP" "There isn't any rule specifically against demon possession, I have to allow them to play and use the pitching motion most natural to them." "AWWW COMON, there needs to be a rule then!" *kicks dirt as the pitchers head spins like a helicopter behind them*
You know, I might watch baseball in real life if I could expect this sort of thing. "Looks like he's winding up for his next pitch...oh, the cartwheel-to-somersault-360-headstand-to-tuck-and-roll, very unexpected."
Sometimes, words are not enough. Thank you, Tv Tropes, for giving me one more thing to add to my arsenal of true humor. Time to begin conquesting through my family and friends with this sword of laughter.
@@simonrafferty1603 This video was linked on some TvTropes page... I don't remember which one lol. It's been long enough that it could also have been removed, though personally I doubt it. Probably something game physics related.
The year is 2098. The High School Baseball League has made a momentous decision. "Abolish the balk." That decision, made to respect the creativity of high school ballplayers turned Koshien into a magical place.

Sweet Jesus tapdancing Christ. This God damned video made me laugh so hard I fucking threw out my neck. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD YOU HAVE TO LAUGH TO ACTUALLY PULL SOMETHING FROM DOING IT YEAH IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY HARD BUT I DID IT
I used to know a girl who said, "Sweet tapdancing Jesus", which really delighted me for being so random; so you get a Like for pulling up a good memory for me!
All perfectly legal moves for baseball. The Swastika, the self-crotch eater, the beached fish, the riger mortis cartwheel, the kung fu fighter, the awesome dance, the helicopter, the Possessed-by-satan, the Transform-and-roll-out. all perfectly legal.
Not sure what this machinima viewership is coming from, but welcome to all of you finally discovering one of the greatest videos ever. I usually watch this once a week or so. Come for the silly pitches, replay for that awesome Rivals song.
I'm super nostalgic for this vid. Does anyone have the one article that linked this vid in it? It was like "10 Times Customisation Went Too Far" or something like.
Give major-league contracts to all these pitchers right now. Better yet - make one team composed of just these pitchers. They'll be back to back national champions 'til forever.
*Dances furiously on the mound. Spins, twirls, flips backwards, rotates all body parts in directions no human can*....Walks every batter on ball counts. Oh Japan, no more cocaine for you!
This game needs to be rereleased in the US, with online multiplayer. There are too many potential lulz to be had to not rerelease this game in the US. Talking trash to friends over Live or PSN while your pitcher deals the most hilarious pitch of all time. Good luck guessing the pitch location.

+Red Dragon yeah, that's the description of the video.
Mykola Zekter
Some people don't read the descriptions.
I am here for them.
12 years later, this is still one of the best videos on youtube
Correct
All animations aside, though.... that is one sick ass song.
1:04 You'll need to be more fuckin' limber than water itself to pull this off.
OHOHO I UNDERSTAND YOUR JOKE. OH I DO!

You spelled "come on" wrong.
@@hyliadreamer no I didn’t because that’s how a salty manager would talk. Thank you for adding absolutely nothing to a 6 year old comment.
would these pitchers adapt to the pitch clock?
You know, I might watch baseball in real life if I could expect this sort of thing.
"Looks like he's winding up for his next pitch...oh, the cartwheel-to-somersault-360-headstand-to-tuck-and-roll, very unexpected."
1:09 The Spinning Swastika Pitch! How legendary!
Fun fact this is how Nazis sleep
How can frachises like Fifa and Madden still sell millions of copies every year without features like this?!
Screw realism.
Frostbite isn't _that_ realistic tbh... at some points it's just like this, except with ragdoll physics.
Sometimes, words are not enough. Thank you, Tv Tropes, for giving me one more thing to add to my arsenal of true humor. Time to begin conquesting through my family and friends with this sword of laughter.
What does Tv Tropes have to do with it? Genuine question, I tried googling!
@@simonrafferty1603 This video was linked on some TvTropes page... I don't remember which one lol. It's been long enough that it could also have been removed, though personally I doubt it. Probably something game physics related.
It's under 'Confusion Fu': Deliberately doing things like... This... To defeat your opponent.
Hey, I think TV Tropes is how I found this video, myself! :D
This is the single greatest thing I've seen this year. Infinite nobel peace prizes. My sides have exploded.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the elusive art of _confusion fu._
The year is 2098.
The High School Baseball League has made a momentous decision.
"Abolish the balk."
That decision, made to respect the creativity of high school ballplayers turned Koshien into a magical place.

That spinning swastika pitch at 1:11
My sides hurt.
Cactuar. One arm up one arm down.
"America's favourite pitcher has been banned indefinitely after transforming into a highly offensive symbol during a match"
So this is what caused the 3rd Impact
i absolutely lost it on this.. funniest 3minutes of my day.. tears running down my face lol
The spinning swastika killed me xD
1:06 has got me all 3 times i have watched it now lol
Lok-Tin Young I'm pretty sure that's a spinning Cactaur.
Mintjam - Rival. What a song!
This is why I will never play sports in Japan.
I love a good, realistic baseball simulation.
this baseball game has caused my pubic hair to go super saiyan
The song is called "Rival" by MintJam for anybody who wanted to know after 12 years
This is what real baseball players should do.
1:04 broke my brain.
I'll never get sick of this video
If only Baseball was this entertaining!
Sweet Jesus tapdancing Christ. This God damned video made me laugh so hard I fucking threw out my neck.
DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD YOU HAVE TO LAUGH TO ACTUALLY PULL SOMETHING FROM DOING IT
YEAH IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY HARD
BUT I DID IT
I used to know a girl who said, "Sweet tapdancing Jesus", which really delighted me for being so random; so you get a Like for pulling up a good memory for me!
Thank you tvtropes for giving me another thing to laugh and smile about and share
1:04 is good but 1:06 is the best; he literally gives birth to a cutter.
I'm partial to the 'human swastika cartwheel' at 1:08 myself.
This is my favourite video on youtube.
Have I ever mentioned Japan is weird?
I'm so glad I remembered this video. Thank you Japan for making this masterpiece of a game.
Gotta love the Japanese!
The song is "Rival" by Mintjam. I doubt they'd use it in the game but it goes pretty well
This was beautiful. Clearly the best sports game ever made.
They watched too much anime while trying to practice. Those moves are to catch opponents off guard while pitching.
God this shitpost was so ahead of its time
All perfectly legal moves for baseball. The Swastika, the self-crotch eater, the beached fish, the riger mortis cartwheel, the kung fu fighter, the awesome dance, the helicopter, the Possessed-by-satan, the Transform-and-roll-out. all perfectly legal.
In case anyone's wondering, the song name is "Rival" by MintJam
If modern baseball games had this sort of customization awesomeness, I might be convinced to actually play one of them.
2024, and this is still a CLASSIC
Fucking....
B-E-A-U-tifull!
Is that a Bruce Almighty reference? Lol
Not sure what this machinima viewership is coming from, but welcome to all of you finally discovering one of the greatest videos ever. I usually watch this once a week or so.
Come for the silly pitches, replay for that awesome Rivals song.
#blaseball
best...Game...EVER 10/10
Words cannot express how much win this game contains.
You see this all the time in baseball. If you bounce around like someone having a seizure on speed, they'll never know where or when the ball flies.
1:04 Lol I'm done!
at 2:07 when he's running the bases is that a drawing of a pile of shit?
Yes. Yes it is.
It's like Ben drowned plus baseball.
SWASTIKA PITCHER
0:19
THAT UMPIRE IS A SPY!
...I wasn't ready for this...
So... Umm... Do Japanese folks look at this think "yup, just your average baseball game", or do they admit that this is pretty fucking weird?
I'm crying with laughter, this is the best video ever made.
Back again. This video makes me so glad that the Japanese love baseball!
This never gets old.
11 years from when you made this comment, this video still doesn't get old.
@@Pieman6711 Yooooooo
@@spiderplant lmfao I'm surprised you replied. I hope you enjoyed this video again lol
I would watch baseball if it was like that. Good music by the way
It'd Still Be Boring As Hell
What has science done? Reached its pinnacle, that's what. I come back to this video for restoring hope in humanity.
This is one of those few videos where I pissed off my neighbors from laughing so hard
There is such a thing as giving the players too much power.
>Wake up to this
>Piss myself from laughing
I've been looking for this game, now I can have some fun
I laughed so hard I almost ovulated. And I'm a guy!
I'm super nostalgic for this vid.
Does anyone have the one article that linked this vid in it?
It was like "10 Times Customisation Went Too Far" or something like.
0:28 *looks over* "don't laugh, it works"
Vsauce got me here, lol! Best pitching i've ever seen.
1:55 rare footage of the Tetrisman in action ! Followed by the dancing troll !
OMGGG
This is some Katamari levels of weird and I LOVE IT!
I have no idea wtf I just watched.
But whatever it was, it was GLORIOUS.
Give major-league contracts to all these pitchers right now. Better yet - make one team composed of just these pitchers. They'll be back to back national champions 'til forever.
I was so busy trying to translate the song in my head that I missed half the pitches :/
Oh Japan, what would the world be without you?
I hope you never change.
I love them. I just friggin' love the Japanese!
*Dances furiously on the mound. Spins, twirls, flips backwards, rotates all body parts in directions no human can*....Walks every batter on ball counts. Oh Japan, no more cocaine for you!
11/10 would buy again
Well, it looks like that's it. We can all stop looking for the best thing ever now. It's right here.
Anime is one hell of a drug
Arigato japan u made my day again :D
It's amazing how well this song goes with the song 'Push it to the Limit'
@retromancer
understatement of the century
one of the best machinima's I've ever seen
Edit pitching motions? man, there must be countless number of variations!
Rival by Mintjam!
After weeks of searching, someone finally told me
This troper would make his pitcher dance like a cactuar before throwing a fast ball.
Forget making my day... this just made my life.
I found it and it the title of the video was "Xbox 720 Countdown?" You were close, but thanks :P
best video on youtube!
Still better than the latest Konami football game. And less glitchy too
One of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
something that EA will never do to their games :P
best realistic simulation of baseball I have seen in my life.
I would love to see the motion capture work done for this game
1:01
I'm not worthy!
I'd like to this this is how they actually play Baseball in Japan.
If baseball were like this in real life, I'd actually consider watching!🤣
The song is: Rival by MintJam.
Enjoy.
This is the greatest game related video ever.
Dam, I wish I had owned this game. Its looks beyond epic.
0:42 really got me...
This game needs to be rereleased in the US, with online multiplayer.
There are too many potential lulz to be had to not rerelease this game in the US. Talking trash to friends over Live or PSN while your pitcher deals the most hilarious pitch of all time. Good luck guessing the pitch location.
This is the most beautiful thing I ever seen.
