      The thing with being good at one side makes your other side worse. I'm way too good at crewmate so I have to constantly change my imp game. Pikmin 4 (Altrive, he's on a bunch of Alpharad vids) is a good example of someone who's good at imp (surprisingly) simply because everything he does even as a crewmate is sus

    I was about to say... What if Fall Guys are the ancestors of Among Us? In previous theories, MatPat said that the people in Among Us were probably specially bred for those missions. Well, if that’s true, wouldn’t it make sense to put the breeding pool through a series of obstacles and challenges to make them stronger, faster, and more athletic? Put them through difficult races to see who the best of the best are so you know who is ready to help create the perfect species for the job, and who needs more training? I mean, they even look similar, but there are obvious changes. For example, the Among Us people have floating hands, while Fall Guys have arms. This could be a part of evolution. I don’t think Fall Guys are very closely related to the jelly beans in Among Us, but they are likely ancestors.But hey, that’s just a theory! A Game Theory! (I always wanted to say that)

    What's awesome about this video compared to the typical Among Us guide is that it not only tells you what you should be doing as Imposter, but how you should be thinking about the game and how to approach it. I was so confused as a newbie for like 20-30 hours of played time, but then things started to click and I started to win more consistently. Thanks so much GT!

  • @SuperAmaton
    @SuperAmaton 3 роки тому +68

    My recommendations to identify a Imposter:
    - Doesn't talk much
    - Walks around more than others
    - Tries to split off if in a group
    - Doesn't vote for anyone when there's 2 Imposters and 6 Players left
    - Says he is the Imposter (if he isn't, he's a troll and you should kick him, if he is, he wants to take your attention away from a suspect, the other Imposter)
    - Finds 3 or more bodies in a row
    - Runs after you constantly far too close
    - Is in a Room where Vents lead to from the Crimescene
    - Spends his (usually) one Emergeny Meeting for giggles

      Not talking much doesnt mean anything is they always arent that talkative, even as a crewmate. I actually do a lot of these as a crewmate and I dont get voted out. A way to find if someone is an impostor is if they stand still when there's a sabotage and starts walking after it started, or walks away from a task when the bar doesnt go up.

    I think sabotage deserved more discussion. I tend to use it very actively for one VERY important reason - it creates chaos. A chaotic environment is a prime environment for the impostor. Sure, the lights are a very good one, but I tend to make heavy use of alternating O2 and the reactor. It gets everybody running all over the place. Too much information is just as helpful to the impostor as too little.
