Really loved the WaDi segment. I appreciate what light said about how top players are just people too. I also relate you what you said about getting your life together EE. When I hit college, I was a fucking dumbass but I got my life on track now and am about to make good money. Thanks for posting this show, please don’t stop.
@@light_skit unironic advice: work hard, push for promotions for your hard work, and change jobs a lot. I went 42k>1.5 years in role>left for 62k>promoted in role to 68k after a year>promoted in role after 1 year to 75k>immediately left for 115k>promoted after 1.5 years to 140k>left for 160k
I also agree to not just blindly follow top smash players' opinions about situations like these, but seriously thank you guys so much for covering the WaDi stuff in the way you did. Just a collection of very civilized, mature takes on everything that I think everyone needed to hear a long time ago. Aside from the situation itself, it feels like there's always tons of chaos and visceral reactions from all sorts of people whenever this kind of stuff happens, and to me it's just really upsetting to see. So it's really refreshing to hear something like this from anyone.
Golden week is just like Spring Break, but a lot of adults also take the week off. But just like here, a lot of restaurants have their biggest week on Golden week, it's not like EVERYONE takes the whole week off lmao
I loved what Light said briefly reflecting on his experience with these allegations against others. Everyone's got that high school story where someone did that weird/terrible thing and it shocked everyone. Such a weird feeling and it affects more than just the individual.
Gotta say you both completely spoke my mind on the Wadi situation and handle it with maturity. I especially agree with what light said about everyone generalizing smash because of the bad apples. You don't hear it from other communities but with smash, it's just a lot bigger. It sucks when that's the mindset a lot of people have but it Is what it is I guess. Also wanna say this is my first time watching an episode so I got some binge-watching to do
I can’t wait to see Light compete again. He’s tied with Leo as my favourite player and I miss seeing him at events. I’m so glad that you, light and cosmos have been doing this podcast as it’s one of my favourite bits of smash content out there.
No doubt Japan the best region in the world. Their culture around tournaments is out of pure passion and there's no prize pool at most tourneys. A lot of Japanese players don't have the opportunity to travel to NA but if they did they'd do very well imo.
Re: EE's point about the writer's strike, a lot of bad scripts come from studios mandating certain deadlines or restrictions (Suicide Squad 1 was writren in like 6 weeks). They're striking for better working conditions, which means wages and also the opportunity to make their scripts better. Theres also likely a correlation between being motivated to write better and being paid more, although I cant actually prove that
As always bringing entertainment to my gym sessions, much love fellas! Thoroughly enjoy the podcast and how yall manage to be entertaining as hell with little filter while maintaning a very mature and professional tone as well throughout
*sigh* As soon as I heard EE say: "From someone like him that was in the military...." I immediately put my hand over my face and said: "Omg I totally forgot he used to be in..." Anyways... This podcast covered some very valuable information. Thanks for sharing you guys. Much love.
I think a lot of people underestimate how difficult the timezone difference and flight stuff is when Japanese players enter NA or even worse EU tourneys. It's not too hard if you can acclimate in the country for a few days or a week, but it's usually short notice. Lots of Americans just cannot really process it, only 1/3 of USA citizens have a passport which is a whole other issue but yeah Like Light hasn't played in a single tourney outside the US?
I don't comment too often and, for a while, stopped watching this channel but I love this podcast and heavily appreciate how you explained maturing and growing up in the WaDi section. Thank you three (well, two this time) for the amazing podcast!
As someone who has been hit and run a few times, the other party will count as an uninsured driver and this can reduce your deductible if the accident is covered by insurance. I had to replace a front and rear bumper, and my trunk and it cost me 200 buck. So check with your provider, goodluck EE
I love what light touched on with all the countries having a top 2 echelon kinda separating the ranking because its really apparent once you think about it. Smash is getting so good rn i love it ! Great podcast again as always ✊🏽
seeing Light talk about the BoBC seeding is funny, because I've already seen it. it'll probably change a bit with Kagaribi but I don't think the top 8 will change. Light was right, he isn't a top 5 seed because there is a "random" Japanese player ahead of him
"I don't think our most consistent players went out to Japan" lmao bro. Dabuz has attended 43 NA majors and has only missed top 32 twice. He's also missed top 32 at his only two Japan majors. If that doesn't tell you how much better Japan is, nothing will.
Out of 19 NA Super Majors Japan has attended since the start of Smash Ultimate, they have only ever placed first 3 times. If that doesn't tell you how hard it is to win in NA for Japan too, then nothing will.
@@HeavensMystery Japan won every NA major they attended last year for like 4 months straight lmao. They literally won as many NA majors as the USA did.
@dingo9696 Bro Crown and BOBC were weak af with none of the top 5 NA players present. Mexico has won or placed second at every NA Super Major they have attended in the last three years. It's funny how Riddles is considered NA when he goes to Japan and doesn't win but Mexico isn't considered NA when they've beaten out Japan something ridiculous like 7 to 1 Super Majors attended in the last three years lol. Also your ignoring all the NA Super Majors they've placed awful at in the last 4 months... thank you for proving lights point.
@@HeavensMystery reminder that mexico has only won 2 majors this year lmfao. Also crown and BOBC aren't the only tournaments they won in NA dummy. There was also gimvitational, double down, summit 5, and let's make moves Miami.
@@jak199527 Yea it’s sad to see how many stupid people believe a grown man was raped by a scrawny 15 year old. You’re not one of those stupid people though, right?
i disagree with the "no one talks about japanese players going here and losing" because i dont think they lose that bad, they may have a bad tournament but its never back to back, some of the NA players got smacked ALL week
I had someone hit my car in the parking lot in college. I got there right afterwards when they were frantically writing an apology note with their information. I was impressed, so I told him not to worry about it. I've never seen so much relief wash over someone's face :) It wasn't $3k in damages though. Shit. If that were the case, I'd be coming for that ass ha.
if this information about wadi turns out to be verified and everything is confirmed, then I personally think we need to see more accountability from the community in making sure he gets banned and not letting him walk free like other top players have and people the community have a soft spot for. Event saftey, lack of top players calling out these situations and the way the smash community seems to forgive people so easily is the reason why nintendo doesn't take us seriously, and at this point I can't even blame them.
@@EEvisu tbh I’m talking about light too.. all my man had to say was he had no stance and he hasn’t researched it and that cancel culture has hit a bunch of friends, my question is if you have had multiple friends go through scandals shouldn’t you be evaluating and paying attention to what’s going on then? All love to you guys but it feels weird and I can’t help but feel a way on how light answered this question when he is one of said top players
@@sterlingz.8275I think man is tired of drama and doesn’t give a f. At least from his demeanor and energy he clearly doesn’t care. Smash and himself are the only things on his mind.(he took a break off the internet recently as well)
If what turns out to be verified? The person was 16 at the time, and the relationship occurred, from what's been put out so far, in a state where the consent is 16. If this is true, there's literally nothing against Wadi except him being a little weird and a possibly an asshole boyfriend. I agree with the rest you said. Light really needs to evaluate who he hangs with.
@@G.dot_ Im not disagreeing with you but also given the context of the controversies with his friends and just overall what has happened in the past few years I would argue it would probably benefit him in the long run, I understand my guys been through a lot but damn man when push comes to shove you have to call shit out like that
Most of the writing for shows are downhill recently because of how the industry has been. This has been building since the last writers strike. The money and proper staffing is always being snuffed with most resources given to producers and actors.
I think people memory holed somethings about the Wadi situation. Back in the spring/summer of 2020, the same person who is outing him, defended him back then. Now, I'm not saying they're lying now, but they lied at some point. Question is, why would they lie at the height of the Smash scandal, just to throw him under bus years later? I think there might be more to this story.
Saying that Japan performs as badly when they come to the US and we just don't talk about it is cap... MuteAce's placements have been FAR worse than any JP player's placement at an American major. And that isn't even going into Fatality... has any JP player close to his level ever went 1-2 at any American tournament?
Dude you're picking on MuteAce while ignoring Riddles is performances. The point Light was trying to make without being rude to Mute was that the absolute top players in NA at the moment aren't attending in JP right now except for Riddles. That's Sparg0, Tweek, Mkleo, Light, and Sonix Look at Japans Placings at the most recent NA Super Majors; Look where their top players have placed. Acola, Tea, Shuton, Ken, Kameme & Asimo. Do you think the top NA players would place the same or worse in JPN if all were present? Ludwigs: Acola- 2nd Shuton-5th Asimo-13th Tea-17th Zackray-23rd Ken-23rd Mainstage2022: Tea - 13th Shuton- 13th asimo- 17th gackt- 25th shogun-33rd ken-33rd atelier-33rd G9; Acola- 7th Tea- 9th Nao - 13th Kameme- 17th Sigma - 25th Gackt- 33rd Shogun - 49th YOC - 49th Suinoko - 65th Repo-129th Filip- 129th Top Japanese players have absolutely had awful placings at NA Majors; and of the 19 Super Majors they have attended since the beginning of Ultimate, they have only ever managed to win 3 times. Zackray - 33rd Mainstage & Frostbite (At the time the #1 Ranked Japanese Player) Ken - 65th - 2GG: Kongo Saga (At the time a top 5 Ranked Japanese Player) Atelier - 97th Super Smash CoN 2019 ( At the time top 10 Ranked Japanese Player) Abadango - 65th 2GG: Kongo Saga (At the time top 10 Ranked Japanese Player) Raito - 65th Super Smash Con 2019 (At the time top 10 Ranked Japanese Player) Lea - 49th Double Down 2022 (At the time top 15 Ranked Japanese Player) Umeki - 49th EVO 2019 (At the time top 15 Ranked Japanese Player) Look at Miya, he's in contention for top 3 in Japan and in his one NA Major he failed to even make top 8. Imagine how much criticism Sparg0 would receive for NA if he failed to make top 8 at his first Japanese Major. The same with Tea, a top 5 Japanese player who's placings have been 17th, 13th & 9th in the last 3 NA Super Majors he has attended. Imagine if Tweek placed this bad 3 times in a row at Japanese Super Majors how much people would say NA is washed? Look at KEN, 5th, 9th, 23rd, 4th, 33rd. Imagine if Riddles placed this inconsistently in Japan. How much people would say NA is having a hard time adapting to their region? KEN won BOBC 4, a Major that had absolutely none of the top 7 NA players in attendance. How much credit would Light receive if he won a Major without Acola, Miya, Tea, Yoshidora , Protobanham, Asimo, Ken or Shuton present? Nobody would say he won a real Japanese Major lol. Light is right about what he's saying.
I feel like the only thing that might hold sparg0 back from winning kagaribi is if he gets annoyed, miya might be a challenge but I hope he wins. Sparg0 can beat anyone so he got this!
@31:19 no people don't think that, they think yall dont call the cops and only make videos, Yall rarely actually get these people registered on criminal list so when they go back into the real world they are still able to do it again. No one takes any one in this community seriously.
Really just the corporate / government sector closed for golden week. Easy to get food and Tokyo is quieter than usual with everyone leaving for the country
Japan: living in the future with a good infraestructure where you can walk freely and you can travel fast if needed. NA: me go vroom vroom on road and go beep beep while stuck in traffic.
I dont understand how y’all can be so critical of Wadi (horrible person glad he’s gone) and just sit there watching Nairo still operate and have influence. Wild stuff

The same with Tea, a top 5 Japanese player who's placings have been 17th, 13th & 9th in the last 3 NA Super Majors he has attended. Imagine if Tweek placed this bad 3 times in a row at Japanese Super Majors how much people would say NA is washed? Look at KEN, 5th, 9th, 23rd, 4th, 33rd.

Light is right about what he's saying.
@@HeavensMystery you went off on that blud holy spit
@@nemi9217 And I was right too, been saying it all week.
Sparg0 sweeped Japan and made it look easy.
@@HeavensMystery yeah lol, I hate Smashers and their goldfish memory spans. They got the worst recency biases I’ve seen out of any community
BOBC top 8 seeding predictions:
1. Acola
2. Sparg0
3. Tweek
4. Miya
5. MKLeo
6. Light
7. Riddles
8. Sonix
Two months!!!! Let’s get it
22:37 you just HAD to do it 😂😭😭
21:33 NINETEEN! Not eighteen!
Closing in on 10 already lets go
Consistency!
Woooaaahhh I didn’t know that was puppeh’s brother. That kinda brings the whole cinnpie thing full circle. Wtfff
Lights out Forreal this man light always got the funky setups lmao 😂
This Podcast 🔥💫
Always extraordinarily excited for these to come out on Thursday, has made this day of the week less useless, keep up the fantastic stuff
zomba has been doin mad good in japan ngl
Top Twournament when?
I feel like the only thing that might hold sparg0 back from winning kagaribi is if he gets annoyed, miya might be a challenge but I hope he wins. Sparg0 can beat anyone so he got this!
Thumbnail Cosmos looks like he just told his mom he wants dinner right now
lmao
This podcast is goated
So excited for the next technicals video
I love this podcast
I've been waiting for this video 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
wait no more
Squerk is actually still Puppeh's brother, believe it or not!
“To put a bow on that”
The She Hulk writer's were striking too? 😂haha
PROBABLY!
EE is right about these writers
tbh i feel like everyone kinda knew every non SUPER top level NA players would get slapped up by Japan
lmao why cut off Light's outro when he finally does one? 😭😅See yall on episode 9!
lol When I lived in Japan, I worked at a ramen restaurant even during golden week :P
@31:19 no people don't think that, they think yall dont call the cops and only make videos, Yall rarely actually get these people registered on criminal list so when they go back into the real world they are still able to do it again. No one takes any one in this community seriously.
I've seed delisional people, but light is on an other level
Really just the corporate / government sector closed for golden week. Easy to get food and Tokyo is quieter than usual with everyone leaving for the country
He was his brother?!?!?!?!
Japan: living in the future with a good infraestructure where you can walk freely and you can travel fast if needed.
NA: me go vroom vroom on road and go beep beep while stuck in traffic.
Did Onin quit smash? Does he not count as top 2 of Canada?
Edit: Nevermind, I googled, guess he’s not Canadian lmao just won Canadian tournaments
Hahaha I know I forget sometimes too
I just hate how this shit comes out wayyy after the fact when the person blows up
Nawwww talking about wadi, y’all really on it 😭😭😭😭😭
Really no different then twitter and other videos giving their takes, we know our audience wants our thoughts too lol.
I’m curious as to how can you improve as a person after doing what people like what WaDi did?
I dont understand how y’all can be so critical of Wadi (horrible person glad he’s gone) and just sit there watching Nairo still operate and have influence. Wild stuff
Agreed. Nairo definitely guilty and his own tweets prove it. He wasn't taken advantage of.
@@yawns3004 how does a grown man get raped by probably the least threatening looking 15 year old to walk this earth? So pathetic
