When my brother and I discovered their ability, we had a few games like that before we agreed that if someone picked Monty, the other got Goomba by default
Good vid as always, though I feel like pointing a couple things out: 1. The official term for "abilities" as referenced in the Mario Superstar Baseball manual is "Special Talent." I prefer using "Special Talent" because ability is a really vague term that can describe things that extend beyond talents. 2. While Super Catch makes you immune to skidding and bobbling, this immunity is easily replicated by other characters by jumping or (in the case of skidding) diving. I feel like this is important to mention. 3. So Clamber actually does have a use outside of high wall stadiums, the clambering speed of Yoshi and Dixie (and I presume Diddy and DK as well though I haven't tested them much) is much faster than their dashing speed. This is counteracted somewhat by the latching onto the wall animation and has extremely limited applications, but I have used Clamber in the past to make pretty significant horizontal ground. 4. Monty's Ball Dash speed is actually faster than Goomba's.
Thanks for the info about clamber, honestly wouldve never known that. I think I did mention jump catching for bobbles but its possible I accidentally cut it lol
I'm absolutely floored that this baseball game I loved playing with my younger brother not only has a comp scene but is deeper than I remember. I remember seeing these Traits and building a team around that and the chemistry function but never knew *why* exactly
I think that with all the detail in this game just with the chemistry ratings, Toad having the Body Check ability may be a nod to his appearance in Super Mario Bros 2 (the Doki Doki clone version) where he had the crappiest jump, but because he had the highest strength stat, he was super fast while carrying any items. Somehow that vest hides it all
@@Naito9874 I don't blame you. I definitely was way more active in this community's early days, but I stopped being as frequent a viewer due to a combination of: - Getting busy with college - Slowly watching as the meta developed in a way that I felt left behind - Felling a general ire from the community due to being one of the laggier players in the netplay side of the discord - A lack of new and exiting ways to play (which I'll be honest, the league draft format almost revived my interest for)
Didn’t know Para Goomba’s high jump was that high! Also I’m pretty sure I activated wall jump last night without dashing, just pressed A near the wall but maybe I was dashing for a brief moment which put my speed above a minimum speed required for wall jump to activate.
I have a memory of using magikoopa in the field, and he used magic catch to pull in a ball that was headed for a homerun. The pull was slow since the ball was so high
i feel like tonge, suck and magic cacht while in similar range the use of them is diferent to siling cacht to consider them in the same section, as suck and magic grab have easy time caching fliying balls in a diagonal position, (by diagonal i mean up and to the side, so basically a jump and a slinding cacht)
Watching all the characters around the ball gives off a real Children of the Corn vibe lol. There’s a meme there somewhere. Also, where’s Might? :cityLUL:
Ball Dash works in Toy Field and in that mode specifically it’s very easy to just outrun your opponents holding the ball allowing you to swing on the next turn (unless the batter gets a 1-up mushroom). Or at least that’s how it works on MSB’s Wii sequel Mario Super Sluggers…
I didn't know dash was required for wall jump I've been wondering how it works for so long and the online resources are very limited. Would've had an 11 inning two run walk off comeback with petey but my friend got wj with toadette!
Ive been trying to get a body check for the last hour on free mode but cant get the timing right on the rundown, the ball keeps beating me to 2nd. Any advice?
hey my man got the likes and subs at least by my time ha i feel it, tough pill to swallow but sadly its the program and we must comply heres a sub nd whatnot
Speaking of baseball, I saw an unfortunate incident at a real MLB baseball game where the pitcher threw a pitch…hitting a dove that flew in the path of the ball, causing the poor bird to die in an explosion of feathers. For those wanting to call PETA for this, it was an accident and the pitcher didn’t see the bird until it was too late
It travels in a curve-- pretty straightforward, right?
My brother used to INSTANTLY grab Monty and Goomba for the Ball Dash ability. Put them on 1st and 3rd and I never scored again 😂

This game needs a game guide that is as thick as the Order of the Phoenix

Body check helped win game 2 of the DC World Series last season. Andrew immediately asked “who said body check isn’t relevant?”
I didn’t even know this game was still being played, let alone talked about! Talked about childhood nostalgia hitting a home run
check out Dinger City if you haven't already!
Same here!!!

Sliding Catch actually DOES something?!
Oh you were here all along, I just didn't see your comment last time, lmao

Aaah, I see I see, it was a fun journey for me to watch and learn about two years ago, but I did stop rather quickly, unfortunately@@TJ-Henry-Yoshi
Boo's hit reminds me of his N64 tennis serve. It was *nasty*.

Played for the first time on netplay yesterday, and I’m loving it!
We should play sometime!
@@MrJoesBaseballShow I’m down to get humbled by mr Joe himself!
I’ve played this game for YEARS and had no idea about the body check.
Ive seen it but it was one of those mysterious abilities that i didn't quite know how to trigger. I thought it was just pressing B rapidly
I think if Marth was in this game he’d have a further dive range than yoshi
That and a long bat with tipper
From a competitive standpoint, are the Kongs a bit weaker because they Climber is useless in the default stadium.
I love baseball, Mario, shows and people named Joe. I’m gonna have to subscribe
We hit 50 likes! Just discovered your channel, can't wait for more!
Glad you're here!

I did not know about wall splat or clamber so that is interesting for sure
Y’all better like and sub, I need more Baseball Basics!
Watching all the characters around the ball gives off a real Children of the Corn vibe lol. There’s a meme there somewhere.
Also, where’s Might? :cityLUL:
I played this game a lot when I was a kid and NEVER saw the body check ability. Had no idea it existed. The more you know
cant believe im so invested in a game i dont even play

I need to keep these in mind for my next Mario Baseball vid
Never could figure out how to trigger wall jump! Good to know, also, is body check by just pressing or holding Y?
I didn't know dash was required for wall jump I've been wondering how it works for so long and the online resources are very limited.
Would've had an 11 inning two run walk off comeback with petey but my friend got wj with toadette!

Update, got it down. Had to mash like a mofo.
It would have made way more sense for Toad to have Ball Dash rather than Body Check.
Got this on my Recommended vids, may the algorithm bless you :3
me and my nephew have been playing this the past few days, its too fun
So Bowser has Body Check AND Laser Beam? :D
Yup! The 12 captain characters and Toadette all have 2 abilities (not counting wall splat or curve) and the rest of the roster have 1 each.
Hmm it doesn't let me select repeat characters for my team in exhibition match
I could’ve sworn Boomerang Bro also has a ranged catch. Am I just Mandella Effect-ing?
LOL no you're just thinking of the sequel, Mario Super Sluggers
Can anyone talk me through body checking? I try copying this video exactly and I cannot get it to trigger
Neither can I, the only stars I need to 100% challenge mode too.
Yellow Toad
I wonder, what about super sluggers?
i learned everything today because i knew nothing
