Step 1: find a way to conceal a sidearm to bring into battle. Then to not look suspicious, run away and wait until one man left and shooty shoot shoot the last guy, but make it look like he or she accidentally killed him or her self.
The “cute kid card” is actually how Johanna (the loud mouth) won her games, she convinced the game makers and tributes that she was like rue until about half way when she slaughtered her way to the top with an axe
There is something that fully confirms this theory. Fox Face. She did everything you said, but she didn't have a strong enough story. She ran from the Cornucopia, she had awesome survival skills, she stayed solo, she stayed hidden and had great strategies like the one during the feast. But she forgot about poisonous berries and died. And in the books it's said that during the interview she revealed a mistireous personality, but that's it, she was not memorable enough.
Mercedes Oliveira did you see the training? She knows plants very well I think she committed bc she was so close to being victor but knew she wouldn’t make it
mat pat you forgot one thing if you have the audiance on your side there is going to be a higher chance of them trying to get you food and water so you can survive even longer
Quick note, one important factor that you didn't mention in either video is sleeping. Everyone has to do it at some time, and when, where, and how you sleep can seriously impact your chance of survival. Examples: Tying yourself up in a tree to sleep (like Katniss did) Camouflaging yourself (like Peeta did) Staying awake late or waking up early to find tributes to murder in their sleep. Setting traps so people can't sneak up on you (a la hunting traps or that smart kid that dug up the mines) Practicing waking up to small noises (before the games) Figuring out how much sleep you need to stay focused If you choose to be a stealthy night assassin then you'll have to figure out a way to keep yourself safe when you sleep during the daytime. Also one more thing to do is strategize with your mentor about the parachute drops. For example if there's a tool that you really need (such as a knife or way to get water) then they should send it to you very early in the games (when it is cheaper to send things).
Bob the Builder I’m a really light sleeper and I’ve gone a full 5 days without sleep and still was able to function relatively normally so the odds are in my favor ;)
Yay. Good point. I would die. Like instantly I'm a heavy sleeper the only thing that keeps me from sleeping alot is singing. Or thinking But I can stay awake for a whole day
1: Crush nightlock berries 2: Make friends. 3: While they’re sleeping with their mouths open, slowly pour down juice in their mouths. 4:Steal their stuff and run.
I think this theory is actually incredibly accurate because in the book, Katniss describes one game where a cannibal was making the audience not interested, or it was just too gruesome. By some "miracle" he died of an avalanche. The game makers didn't want him alive, so he is not alive.
Yeah, that's why Johanna is such an interesting character and a good contrast to Katniss Everdeen. Johanna survived by being invisible/unnoticed while Katniss survived by being the center of attention.
Him: tells seven million people not to run in cornucopia Everyone in hunger games: runs away from cornucopia Me: runs into cornucopia and wins Well, i guess i just survived the first 10 minutes of the hunger games
@Kaylie Michelle Actually you are in the worst possible position. All the other tributes will know your position, but you don’t know their positions. You will have all the supplies that they will eventually need, and at anytime could form alliances and take it from you. If you decide later on to abandon the cornucopia, you will have a higher chance of getting ambushed, because you’re not familiar with the terrain.
Kaylie Michelle that was just what I was thinking!! I was like ok, 23 people run away I go to the cornucopia get the weapons and BOOM!!! Got myself a home in Victor’s village.
@@LulitaInPita well, yeah, but both sides have nukes if you paid attention you'd remember district 13 specialized in nuclear warfare, not graphite like their cover story suggested
Honestly, this video has left me a whole new level of respect for The Hunger Games. It literally acknowledges plot armor and uses it as part of the story. I don't know many other books which do that. Amazing move on the author's part, in that respect.
So far in the comments I’ve read two good strategies: 1) once you get a parachute, fill them with nightlock and send them in the air again so that another tribute finds them. 2) make nightlock juice and give them to your “allies” while they sleep But a better idea would be if you make juice, send it on the parachute and have one of the other dehydrated kids drink em without a second thought?
That's actually really smart, since there probably would be some tributes, who knew what nightlock looked like. They could also use that same stragedy against you, if they knew it was nightlock.
That's why there are careers. Being prepared, they will go to cornucopia anyways, and watching them, some dummies will go to. Also there is already one alliance - careers, meaning others would be like "huh should try that too" Basically by creating careers they also create a template they want people to use
Team with a child because: -They will need less food -You can play the protective role model -If the child dies you become the underdog by trying to revenge them -If you die the child becomes the underdog by trying to revenge their role model -Less likely to turn on you than other people -If everyone else is dead you gain even more pity points for one of you having to killing the other
but the child could also: - act cute and then betray you - become an emotional burden, especially after they die - be unable to help you in a fight as they are smaller and weaker
@@skyblue52113 well yeah but you probably shouldnt fight and a child will be scared iwt you, and they have no battle strength making them easily manipulated
@@basiclemur7823 there will come a time when you will inevitably need to fight (so be prepared) and having a child with zero close combat stats is a massive disadvantage (and not to mention they could actually manipulate you because they have no chance with other strategies)
His shine a light on things but you have to look at more. If your going to be an aggressive tribute then use Spear Machete Matches And a tree. Reason why is because a spear will scare people. Its long ranged while others have thier knife trying to stab you with it. The machete is for close combat. Those can cut ropes and chains. So its a good hitting weapon. The tree is for hunting and waiting. If you found thier base then just throw the spear you got at them. Its a easy kill. For a passive tribute You want : A knife Food Water And being able to be quick. Most of them died in the start. When you can be quick you can get a backpack faster. Most die because they try to stand thier ground. Run because they cant throw a knife or spear very well while running. Since your not going to be killing you need to have your own food and water. Stealing will be good. And if you can set traps it will be better because you're one person. They dont expect you to live. And hiding is a must. You cant go running forever. So uh yea. If the hunger games start then just know ill be dead the 5 seconds because ill have a heart attack.
What if you're like Katniss or Gale, and had to put your name in multiple times. Not 100% certain but didn't one of them say theirs was in there 45 times or something? That's 45 little slips of paper to take out, out of a bucket of probably a few hundred.
@@hello-ur5mb ... Well, if you even get the chance to get that close to the bucket, I say you should just incinerate all the names and save a couple dozen children from certain death. Now THAT's a win-win. But yes, you do prove a valid point.
idk just kill the person holding it sure they have guns but we would have numbers and psychopaths with knifes what do when me and my other psychopath mob comes in
PANZER WAFFLZ There is not really anymore that needed to be said, anyone with any sort of brains at all, meaning everyone but doge loving idiots like you, would know that I already got my point across, and as I did get my point across, when you replied with your weak attempt at a comeback, I decided to restate my point in more simplified sentance that maybe even idiots like you might have a remote chance of possibly understanding a bit of.
Well at least your smart enough to know that games like FNAF are completely shit, anyway I figured you were one of those 12 year old roblox kids, they are so fun to piss off, typically they have their roblox character or doge as their profile picture.
yeah but she was like rue in that game, the cutesy admirable girl that shouldn’t have survived long, but she did, still being cute. Then she turned on everyone in the end, creating a good story.
+The Film Theorists I have a Nintendo Universe theory with 44 franchise. Has a few holes like the multiple Fire Emblem continuities and the placement of Mother 3, but I'm sure you can hammer those out. ttp://smashboards.com/threads/nintendo-universe-theory-version-4-0.409639/#post-20348831
9:34 This reminds me of Katniss saying that Peeta's love confession made her look weak, but Haymitch says it made her desirable so it was actually a very good thing
really? shit can help you survive? then why not just eat a lot of things, and then shit, and then it will help you survive instead of people sending you shit? /s
Hej Hej Well I think they pat you down before you come in to ensure u don’t have any weapons or something and like where would u put them (btw they have to big like big enough to trigger the mines
MatPat: "I have NO idea what the last part of the theory circle will be." Me: *whispers* ˢᵘʳᵛᶦᵛᵃˡ ᵗʰᵉᵒʳʸ EDIT: i know style theory exists now this comment is two years old
“Katniss I don’t want to!” “You won’t Rue I’ll make sure we never have to” *rue and Katniss do the night lock trick to stay together* WAY BETTER STORY THAN THE ONE WE MADE!!!
There are both pros and cons getting a high score in training. You will be more noticed by the audience and sponsors if you get a higher score, BUT the other tributes will see you as more of a threat, and therefore target you.
Imagine if this actually happened. Living with the fear of getting picked to fight. No more children being scared of the dark, children being scared of dying a extremely painful death far away from loved ones to say your goodbyes
Actually I think it does. At least the last part about how you sell yourself to others. Also the part to use odds and info to make strategies. I want to add that the advice "go for unique useful skills that make you stand up" it can be copy for real life word by word.
The downside of being memorable is that it makes you stand out more to other tributes, thus hastening your death. The most prominent variable in this is training score. While an 11 will get you more sponsors, it will also make the other tributes more determined to knock you off as soon as possible.
TheBeastlyPanda 04 that's a very good point. One thing is if you follow matpats rules it shouldn't matter so much, if you avoid the instant blood bath then you are safe to escape. After that if you remain hidden your infamy shouldn't matter - you simply can't hunt a specific person, cos the objective is to kill everyone else, not just one, so nobody will ease time following specifically your tracks even if you left them AND they knew which were yours. So don't be spotted until the end basically. However, if this doesn't sound good to you, I imagine the best tactic is to remain around average in memorability... Enough to get presents and for people to like you, but not so much they want to kill you. It might even be better to start with below ratings, then show your greatness in the games themselves (ie pretend you suck before the games begin), then the audience can see your skill, but the other fighters won't be targeting you

When she dies, Katniss throws something and starts violently crying, collapses on Rue's chest and sobs, and the voice is cut away. I'm guessing the cannon goes off then.
I think a good way to win sympathy is a message to your family. The Games is live Tv and there is a high likelyhood that they will be watching. So you can be like "Mom, if your watching..." And throw out a tearful speech that'll win the audience over and get you some sponsors.
imagine the person doing that just hasnt seen their mother in a long time and their mom is so confused like "honey i left you for the orphanage when you were 3"
I know this has been said In another comment but you should create more hunger games content, I would really love it as there are a lot of topics that haven’t been covered but also create content like how to survive certain movies, like zombie movies, dystopian movies etc. :)
I think the only problem is that if you play super defensively, the game makers will do something to fuck you up or lead you towards other people, hence killing you if unprepared.
+Riccardo Monico BUT that's why you make yourself an interesting as possible so the game maker's will try their best to not have you killed. You should prepare to fight someone but only if you have to.
+S3rp3rior True, but as you can see, the gamemakers were very interested in Katniss, but still sent fire at her because she wasn't doing anything interesting.
Riccardo Monico yeah but that's up to the game makers. There was that one chick that got a low score, played it super safe the entire time, then won by slaughtering everyone that was left and surprised everyone. You survive til the game maker's throw something at you. Not for you to make something interesting happen, because you're just asking to get killed that way. Worked out for the other chick b/c she played her cards right.
+Riccardo Monico Look at someone like Johanna Mason. In the 71st games, she was the dictionary definition of defensive. She started playing defensively before she entered the arena by training in private and purposefully getting herself a low score to ensure other tributes didn't consider her a threat. They didn't think much of her, and didn't actively hunt her down. The Capitol did the same thing-letting her live for now, but knowing that she would be an easy kill later. Towards the end of the games, she got her hands on an axe, a weapon she had been using from a young age (the industry of her home district being lumber). She then surprised everyone by killing the last tributes with the strength no one knew she had. My point is that playing defensively can be the best strategy if done well.
That last one is what undid the capital, Katniss had a compelling storyline...too compelling, so compelling that it ignited the underlying anger in the districts. The capital was so into using the games for entertainment and to tell a storyline that by the time they realized her story was the wrong one to let play out live to the masses the fire had already been lit.
I love how the strategy of making a good show is seen in the books, with Katniss looking into the cameras and smiling after finding out about Peeta working with the careers and how she builds the whole romance to entertain the Capitol and giving the game makers an interesting, entertaining and unique aspect of the show to work with
Just imagine all the hunger gamer are a loyal theorist First day everybody run away from the mid, none of us kill each other (cuz fight defensive way)LOL the battle are forever untill out of resourec or trap all
I had a dream once where me and a bunch of the other contestants basically decided "eh who needs to win this place is pretty nice" and just,,, made a life in the arena. We got really really good at avoiding the traps, and basically waited until the gamemakers decided to let us out because the game couldn't last forever. In the real story, this would have gone poorly, but it worked in my dreams!
Ayah13 When I get a Hunger games dream, it’s usually about my classmates and I in the arena, not really killing each other, but not teaming up either. I want to have a dream like that
Until one of them figures out that be not normal is the new normal and you go back to how the game is supposed to be played making yourself the new different meaning the gamemakers remember you more and the audience likes you for actually playing the game at some point when everyone figures this out you switch back to not playing the game the right way and being different. So basicly go the opposite way everyone else is going no matter what way it is (unless the obvious you should never do but ya know know what i mean)
A way to avoid the games entirely: Fake your death a few weeks or something (not to close to the reaping so you don’t look sus) and run away or hide or something.
Imagine hunger games with 24 viewers of this video. In the first 10 min: everyone runs away. Then someone realises that no one goes to the middle and grabs all the stuff...
The strategy is about political realism - Be as prepared as possible for survival and fighting - Be economical - Don't pick fights, but fight hard if you're threatened or attacked - Win hearts and minds - Only make allies temporarily if it's against an immediate common threat What isn't realistic, however, is how nobody ever loses their sanity or how quickly these kids can train
One-- they can't train quickly. That's why the Careers win so often-- because they receive special illegal training. Two-- people actually do lose their sanity. Annie Creceta, for instance. She went completely bonkers and only won after that because the arena flooded and she could swim.
Most winners turn to alcohol or drugs or whatever to numb the pain.. of basically PTSD. So yeah they may not lose their sanity but it certainly does ruin their life
I think a good hint was one of Haymitch's in the book: "don't reveal what you're good at during training with others". That gave Catniss information advantage, because she knew that Cato was good with sword and javelin and Clove with knives, but they didn't know Catniss skill with a bow until the very late what made destroying the supply pile possible and the tribute from 1st don't suspect anything while she killed him after he killed Rue.
I've always liked Johannah's strategy. She got hysterical and played the lost little girl until the bell rang, and then she wreaked havoc and killed everyone.Also, I wonder if there were many instances of cannibalism in the Arena. There had to be, especially when they were thrown into a snow desert or something. Depending on what weapons you have, you can definitely hack someone's arm off before the body is collected.
A few years before Katniss was in the hunger games, there was a tribute named Titus that became a cannibal in the games. The capital didn't like it because it was grossing out the audience and they ended up killing him by making an avalanche collapse on him so he wouldn't be a crazy victor.
burymeinpink In the books, Katniss states that one tribute in the past went cannabilistic and started eating his victims. Luckily, he was killed by a rolling boulder or something, I can't remember exactly.
One of the contestants was and he lasted a long time. The game makers had to tranq him or taser him to get him off the bodies so they could take him away. in the end when he was getting close to being the victor the game makers killed him so they wouldn't have him as the victor
But here is the thing: If everybody follows theses tips and avoids the cornucopia, there will be no one at the cornucopia. This means that it would actually increase your chances of surviving, since you will be the only one to have weapons and food and water or whatever. But since there is no one, at the cornucopia, people will begin to go to the cornucopia, which would increase the amount of people at the cornucopia, and then everything would just loop
No, these advices and tips are for weaklings who can only pray to stay alive. Those who're skilled and who can run fast would obviously go to the cornucopia at the beginning. There would always be people who go there, don't worry
The smart thing to do would be to go to the Cornucopia, but not straight to the center. Take some supplies from the edge. Maybe a knife or two. Don't go for the weapons in the very center, as the chances of survival start to waver drastically depending on your opponents and the arena you're competing in.
7:23 Suzanne Collins stated that she got the idea for the books while she was channel surfing. On one channel was a reality tv show, on the other war and that was her inspiration
You have to be smart enough to do something completely different. If there are no careers at the cornucopia, make it yours. Get kitted up while nobody else has any weapons.
slow exposure. first put it on a patch os skin. if nothing happens, put some in your mouth but dont swallow. if nothing happens, take a small sip. wait a while. if nothing happens you are probably okay to drink.
Paratela true. in that case you are screwed lol. If there arent dead things in/around the water, or nothing at all (all life is avoiding it) its probably not poisoned that badly though
But building a fire is hardly wise in the Hunger Games...I remember in the first book, a girl very stupidly did that. Not only did she make a fire, she made a fire at night. The Careers made short work of her. If fire is given on the field (like how they tried to smoke Katniss out of a hiding spot in the first book), cool...take some and use it QUICKLY. If not...forget it. But if we're talking about just in general, yeah, never hurts to boil water to purify it as much as possible :)
Mat Pats Odds with his Theory of surviving in the long run : 1-3 Ru’s Odds by her self : 1-40 My odds by just running around and being an idiot : 1-999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999
Hey Matpat! Another great survival video! There are some important factors that you might have forgotten about: What if you CAN’T find water like in the 75th hunger games? The only way that they got drinkable water was from the trees. In the first book, Katniss mentioned that poorer districts have the tactical advantage of having a better tolerance for hunger. In your opinion what do you think is better? Lots of lbs or higher tolerance for starvation? People who have sad backstorys are more vulnerable to attacks like the jabberjays or any emotion related attacks. You also didn’t mention the tessera. Is it worth it? I completely agree with all of your points but… You should definitely think about pre hunger games. Not the week before, The year you turn twelve and your name can be pulled. You can always become a career right? I would love to see a part 3!
Okay, so, uhh... 1: If you can't find water, you die, lol. It's as simple as that. In fact, in the first book, Katniss almost died of dehydration before stumbling on a pond by sheer luck! In a situation where you cannot find water, you just have to hope that you either stumble upon a water source by chance or that your mentor sends some to you. 2: I don't think the two have nothing to do with each other. Eating a lot before the Games shouldn't affect your tolerance for hunger, at least as far as I am aware, but I could be wrong. 3: Yes, people with sad backstories are vulnerable to things like that, but there's really nothing they can do to help it. Unless, of course, they make up a fake backstory for themselves and hide their real, sad backstory from the world, but that might honestly not be worth it, due to how hard it is to mask something like that. 4: Wether or not tessera is worth it depends on how much you care about your and your family's survival. I mean, the idea of tesserae is that any child of Reaping age can request an year's worth of grain and oil from the Capitol, but the cost of that food is higher chances of getting Reaped into the games, and each child can take as many tesserae as there are family members in the house. So it's probaply NOT worth it, unless there is absolutely NO other food available. However, if there really is no other food source for you and your family, then yeah, of course it is worth it, because if you don't take it, you're gonna die anyway from starvation. And lastly, 5: No, you cannot just become a Career. It is illegal. Training for the Games in any way is illegal, as well as owning a weapon. The only reason Districts 1, 2 and 4 can become Careers is that they have very close ties to the Capitol, and thus enjoy many special privilliges other Districts don't have access to, such as the right to train for the Games. So yeah, you can become a Career, as long as you are from District 1, 2 or 4 (or alternatively, you can train for the games in secret if you are from another District, but that is VERY risky business, both for you and your family). Hope this comment answered some of your questions!

That's if you don't discount the theory that she DID know the berries were poisonous but decided to eat them anyway. She can't be the only one who decided to commit suicide by hunger games once in.
I had a lucid dream where I went into the Hunger Games and I realized it was a dream but of course I ran away from the Cornucopia but let me tell you there's nothing worse than that feeling of having nothing, I actually ran back into the fight because I felt so unprotected. (But that was just a dream so idk)
Let's play a game what will you do in the hunger games if you find a 6 year old kid a lone. Me I will team up with the kid and tell him if we are the last 2 he will kill me because he is a kid. I will find water and food and all that stuff. If I see a guy I will use the kids cuteness to get him off guard then kill him. We are now the last 4 and we meet a strong guy. This is were you have to be evil. In the fight let the kid die. Make it so real that you tried to save him. Kill the other guy and tell the 6 year old that he was a great person. And the crowed will decide to kill the other person.

why thank you
wow that’s original xd congrats
TomTheBomb08 berries that kill once u swallow
Oh ok then I know your plan now
There is something that fully confirms this theory.
Fox Face. She did everything you said, but she didn't have a strong enough story. She ran from the Cornucopia, she had awesome survival skills, she stayed solo, she stayed hidden and had great strategies like the one during the feast. But she forgot about poisonous berries and died. And in the books it's said that during the interview she revealed a mistireous personality, but that's it, she was not memorable enough.
Mercedes Oliveira I definitely believe the theory that she knew those berries were poisonous and she ate them on purpose
Twas simply a lack of plot armour.
Mercedes Oliveira did you see the training? She knows plants very well I think she committed bc she was so close to being victor but knew she wouldn’t make it
@@clovekentwell7122 or, like Katniss and Peeta think, she didn't bother to check, assuming Peeta checked before he picked them.
Jen Shaw but I believe that she would have memorized the plants by her strengths of mind like how I can look at a plant in a meadow and identify it
mat pat you forgot one thing if you have the audiance on your side there is going to be a higher chance of them trying to get you food and water so you can survive even longer
Bleeding Rose most of them are poor, and cant afford much in the late game
MiZteR PhaM the trident guy won his game by being so like bale the audience gave him everything he needed.
That includes giving him, Fenick, the trident.
yeah! you need your sponsors in hardships
Bleeding Rose He didnt forget it, did you even watch it?
So basically, Peeta is the true hero for helping Katniss and himself with his marketing skills
Pretty much
In the books cinna helped too
Quick note, one important factor that you didn't mention in either video is sleeping. Everyone has to do it at some time, and when, where, and how you sleep can seriously impact your chance of survival.
Examples:
Tying yourself up in a tree to sleep (like Katniss did)
Camouflaging yourself (like Peeta did)
Staying awake late or waking up early to find tributes to murder in their sleep.
Setting traps so people can't sneak up on you (a la hunting traps or that smart kid that dug up the mines)
Practicing waking up to small noises (before the games)
Figuring out how much sleep you need to stay focused
If you choose to be a stealthy night assassin then you'll have to figure out a way to keep yourself safe when you sleep during the daytime.
Also one more thing to do is strategize with your mentor about the parachute drops. For example if there's a tool that you really need (such as a knife or way to get water) then they should send it to you very early in the games (when it is cheaper to send things).
Bob the Builder I’m a really light sleeper and I’ve gone a full 5 days without sleep and still was able to function relatively normally so the odds are in my favor ;)
Hunting at night actually is not a good idea, since most people would realize night is when most vulnerable, they would stay alert.
Your last point is really clever!!
Bob the Builder how does one train to wake up to small noises
Yay.
Good point.
I would die. Like instantly
I'm a heavy sleeper the only thing that keeps me from sleeping alot is singing.
Or thinking
But I can stay awake for a whole day
Since you just told 7 million poeple how to survive what are the odds now
Mimosa Whiting ohohohh
1/24 of course.
1 out of 70000
Mimosa Whiting ikr. Everyone going to know how to survive no one dies.
Luck
1: Crush nightlock berries
2: Make friends.
3: While they’re sleeping with their mouths open, slowly pour down juice in their mouths.
4:Steal their stuff and run.
I started laughing uncontrollably when I read this. IDK why.
Me in dodge ball starts shoving poisonous berry down kid's throats
Genius
Lol if I make friends I won't poison them bruh
3:35
I think this theory is actually incredibly accurate because in the book, Katniss describes one game where a cannibal was making the audience not interested, or it was just too gruesome. By some "miracle" he died of an avalanche. The game makers didn't want him alive, so he is not alive.
It was so bad they had to censor his kills, no one gave him sponsors and he was close to winning
Yes, but if his storyline was less gory he would most likely win.
Annoying, anything is supposed to go
So, basically be passive, get a good weapon, then when you’re one of the 6 people left, go full massacre mode.
Johanna's strategy.. yes
pull a johanna mason pretty much or do the opposite and get people to like you by drawing attention to yourself
Yeah, that's why Johanna is such an interesting character and a good contrast to Katniss Everdeen.
Johanna survived by being invisible/unnoticed while Katniss survived by being the center of attention.
It's Finnick's strategy!
Or in other words, how Johanna won
Him: tells seven million people not to run in cornucopia
Everyone in hunger games: runs away from cornucopia
Me: runs into cornucopia and wins
Well, i guess i just survived the first 10 minutes of the hunger games
@Kaylie Michelle Actually you are in the worst possible position. All the other tributes will know your position, but you don’t know their positions. You will have all the supplies that they will eventually need, and at anytime could form alliances and take it from you. If you decide later on to abandon the cornucopia, you will have a higher chance of getting ambushed, because you’re not familiar with the terrain.
@@kenudice9841 You have the weapons too. Get good with a long or mid range weapon and you're golden
Kaylie Michelle that was just what I was thinking!! I was like ok, 23 people run away I go to the cornucopia get the weapons and BOOM!!! Got myself a home in Victor’s village.
Kenudice yeah but you could take the weapons and then get familiar with everything.
You should probably just take what you need hide everything else and then leave the cornucopia and look around

Honestly, this video has left me a whole new level of respect for The Hunger Games. It literally acknowledges plot armor and uses it as part of the story. I don't know many other books which do that. Amazing move on the author's part, in that respect.
yeah
Like honestly. Especially the books with how detailed it is
Honestly the books are super entertaining. Every chapter makes you wonder what happens next and you love the characters.
He should make a survival theory and do the vids like this, how to survive different situations from games, movies, or just real life. Hell, I'd watch

absolutely.
***** i would love his opinion on them
Yeah, like a Fallout 4 episode for Game Theory
+Ker Dunne I think he already did an episode on a zombie apocalypse, somewhere on here or Game Theory.
+Christopher Lawrence This is a great idea! Maybe I'll do a mini-series about it :)
So far in the comments I’ve read two good strategies:
1) once you get a parachute, fill them with nightlock and send them in the air again so that another tribute finds them.
2) make nightlock juice and give them to your “allies” while they sleep
But a better idea would be if you make juice, send it on the parachute and have one of the other dehydrated kids drink em without a second thought?
That's actually really smart, since there probably would be some tributes, who knew what nightlock looked like. They could also use that same stragedy against you, if they knew it was nightlock.
The only real problem is getting it off your fingers
That first one is actually written in the book
What is night lock
@@sandramody5675 this is what gets you killed. its a poisonous berry
"nobody wants to see children drowning or freezing to death and not killing each other."

This is how irl hunger games is going to go
Everyone: runs away from the cornucopia and doesn't make an alliance
Game makers: ????
then me: sprints back to cornucopia and grabs all weapons
Also no one will be agressive because they want sponsors
RUNNNNNN
Nah if they are cultured then we make a suicide pack
That's why there are careers. Being prepared, they will go to cornucopia anyways, and watching them, some dummies will go to. Also there is already one alliance - careers, meaning others would be like "huh should try that too"
Basically by creating careers they also create a template they want people to use
I know how to instantly win...be the main character
Jumping Jack Lavin _Make_ yourself the main character
TAKE THE MAIN CHARACTER POSITION BY SMARTZ or force if necessary.

Team with a child because:
-They will need less food
-You can play the protective role model
-If the child dies you become the underdog by trying to revenge them
-If you die the child becomes the underdog by trying to revenge their role model
-Less likely to turn on you than other people
-If everyone else is dead you gain even more pity points for one of you having to killing the other
but the child could also:
- act cute and then betray you
- become an emotional burden, especially after they die
- be unable to help you in a fight as they are smaller and weaker
@@skyblue52113 but they are not needed in a fight though, the video literally said NO Fighting
@@basiclemur7823 ik, which is why one shouldn't team with a child
@@skyblue52113 well yeah but you probably shouldnt fight and a child will be scared iwt you, and they have no battle strength making them easily manipulated
@@basiclemur7823 there will come a time when you will inevitably need to fight (so be prepared) and having a child with zero close combat stats is a massive disadvantage (and not to mention they could actually manipulate you because they have no chance with other strategies)
Anyone else nodding as matpat makes important points?
Like “yes matpat i will definitely remember to do so when I’m put into the hunger games”
His shine a light on things but you have to look at more. If your going to be an aggressive tribute then use
Spear
Machete
Matches
And a tree.
Reason why is because a spear will scare people. Its long ranged while others have thier knife trying to stab you with it. The machete is for close combat. Those can cut ropes and chains. So its a good hitting weapon. The tree is for hunting and waiting. If you found thier base then just throw the spear you got at them. Its a easy kill.
For a passive tribute
You want :
A knife
Food
Water
And being able to be quick.
Most of them died in the start. When you can be quick you can get a backpack faster. Most die because they try to stand thier ground. Run because they cant throw a knife or spear very well while running. Since your not going to be killing you need to have your own food and water. Stealing will be good. And if you can set traps it will be better because you're one person. They dont expect you to live. And hiding is a must. You cant go running forever.
So uh yea. If the hunger games start then just know ill be dead the 5 seconds because ill have a heart attack.
How to survive
Remove your name by sneaking into the bucket and take out the paper that says your name
What if you're like Katniss or Gale, and had to put your name in multiple times. Not 100% certain but didn't one of them say theirs was in there 45 times or something? That's 45 little slips of paper to take out, out of a bucket of probably a few hundred.
@@hello-ur5mb ... Well, if you even get the chance to get that close to the bucket, I say you should just incinerate all the names and save a couple dozen children from certain death. Now THAT's a win-win. But yes, you do prove a valid point.

10:20 actually in the book it says that the higher ranked tributes usually die early, but getting a higher score means more sponsors.
Yeet
Well getting a higher score does make you more of a target if the game makers show it
There are both pros and cons getting a high score in training. You will be more noticed by the audience and sponsors if you get a higher score, BUT the other tributes will see you as more of a threat, and therefore target you.
Imagine if this actually happened. Living with the fear of getting picked to fight. No more children being scared of the dark, children being scared of dying a extremely painful death far away from loved ones to say your goodbyes

Indigo Boi but it matters in minecraft hunger games
But this was just a theory, a film theory XD
The downside of being memorable is that it makes you stand out more to other tributes, thus hastening your death. The most prominent variable in this is training score. While an 11 will get you more sponsors, it will also make the other tributes more determined to knock you off as soon as possible.
TheBeastlyPanda 04 that's a very good point. One thing is if you follow matpats rules it shouldn't matter so much, if you avoid the instant blood bath then you are safe to escape. After that if you remain hidden your infamy shouldn't matter - you simply can't hunt a specific person, cos the objective is to kill everyone else, not just one, so nobody will ease time following specifically your tracks even if you left them AND they knew which were yours. So don't be spotted until the end basically.
However, if this doesn't sound good to you, I imagine the best tactic is to remain around average in memorability... Enough to get presents and for people to like you, but not so much they want to kill you. It might even be better to start with below ratings, then show your greatness in the games themselves (ie pretend you suck before the games begin), then the audience can see your skill, but the other fighters won't be targeting you

Aaron Turner what you do is all team up and kill the game makers
Jameson Dymond hey, it's the plot of the second movies!:P
It makes you known, as long as you don't have any foul relationships with others, they shouldn't go out of their way to hunt only you.
Here's something to think about:
the cannon never went off when Rue died
the canon dus not go of alot in the second movie only really the main like 12 people
I would have like it more if at the end she comes back and kills the others
I think it does in the books.
In the book it did and i didnt watch the movies
When she dies, Katniss throws something and starts violently crying, collapses on Rue's chest and sobs, and the voice is cut away. I'm guessing the cannon goes off then.
I think a good way to win sympathy is a message to your family.
The Games is live Tv and there is a high likelyhood that they will be watching. So you can be like "Mom, if your watching..." And throw out a tearful speech that'll win the audience over and get you some sponsors.
Aaaaaand then someone hears you, and stabs you 26 times
Ah yes, I too like to exploit my family

I think the only problem is that if you play super defensively, the game makers will do something to fuck you up or lead you towards other people, hence killing you if unprepared.
Yeah exacly my point.
+Riccardo Monico BUT that's why you make yourself an interesting as possible so the game maker's will try their best to not have you killed. You should prepare to fight someone but only if you have to.
+S3rp3rior True, but as you can see, the gamemakers were very interested in Katniss, but still sent fire at her because she wasn't doing anything interesting.
Riccardo Monico yeah but that's up to the game makers. There was that one chick that got a low score, played it super safe the entire time, then won by slaughtering everyone that was left and surprised everyone. You survive til the game maker's throw something at you. Not for you to make something interesting happen, because you're just asking to get killed that way. Worked out for the other chick b/c she played her cards right.
+Riccardo Monico Look at someone like Johanna Mason. In the 71st games, she was the dictionary definition of defensive. She started playing defensively before she entered the arena by training in private and purposefully getting herself a low score to ensure other tributes didn't consider her a threat. They didn't think much of her, and didn't actively hunt her down. The Capitol did the same thing-letting her live for now, but knowing that she would be an easy kill later. Towards the end of the games, she got her hands on an axe, a weapon she had been using from a young age (the industry of her home district being lumber). She then surprised everyone by killing the last tributes with the strength no one knew she had. My point is that playing defensively can be the best strategy if done well.

That last one is what undid the capital, Katniss had a compelling storyline...too compelling, so compelling that it ignited the underlying anger in the districts. The capital was so into using the games for entertainment and to tell a storyline that by the time they realized her story was the wrong one to let play out live to the masses the fire had already been lit.
Nobody:
Matpat: It's about creating a compelling story about 23 kids dying
I love how the strategy of making a good show is seen in the books, with Katniss looking into the cameras and smiling after finding out about Peeta working with the careers and how she builds the whole romance to entertain the Capitol and giving the game makers an interesting, entertaining and unique aspect of the show to work with
Just imagine all the hunger gamer are a loyal theorist
First day everybody run away from the mid, none of us kill each other (cuz fight defensive way)LOL the battle are forever untill out of resourec or trap all
I had a dream once where me and a bunch of the other contestants basically decided "eh who needs to win this place is pretty nice" and just,,, made a life in the arena. We got really really good at avoiding the traps, and basically waited until the gamemakers decided to let us out because the game couldn't last forever.
In the real story, this would have gone poorly, but it worked in my dreams!
and then theres just me
Ayah13
When I get a Hunger games dream, it’s usually about my classmates and I in the arena, not really killing each other, but not teaming up either. I want to have a dream like that
Until one of them figures out that be not normal is the new normal and you go back to how the game is supposed to be played making yourself the new different meaning the gamemakers remember you more and the audience likes you for actually playing the game at some point when everyone figures this out you switch back to not playing the game the right way and being different. So basicly go the opposite way everyone else is going no matter what way it is (unless the obvious you should never do but ya know know what i mean)

THE END
The strategy is about political realism
- Be as prepared as possible for survival and fighting
- Be economical
- Don't pick fights, but fight hard if you're threatened or attacked
- Win hearts and minds
- Only make allies temporarily if it's against an immediate common threat
What isn't realistic, however, is how nobody ever loses their sanity or how quickly these kids can train
One-- they can't train quickly. That's why the Careers win so often-- because they receive special illegal training. Two-- people actually do lose their sanity. Annie Creceta, for instance. She went completely bonkers and only won after that because the arena flooded and she could swim.
Not to mention the guy who went berserk and started cannibalizing everybody and had to be put down before he won.
Most winners turn to alcohol or drugs or whatever to numb the pain.. of basically PTSD. So yeah they may not lose their sanity but it certainly does ruin their life
They lose sanity because they insane
I think a good hint was one of Haymitch's in the book: "don't reveal what you're good at during training with others". That gave Catniss information advantage, because she knew that Cato was good with sword and javelin and Clove with knives, but they didn't know Catniss skill with a bow until the very late what made destroying the supply pile possible and the tribute from 1st don't suspect anything while she killed him after he killed Rue.
I've always liked Johannah's strategy. She got hysterical and played the lost little girl until the bell rang, and then she wreaked havoc and killed everyone.Also, I wonder if there were many instances of cannibalism in the Arena. There had to be, especially when they were thrown into a snow desert or something. Depending on what weapons you have, you can definitely hack someone's arm off before the body is collected.
A few years before Katniss was in the hunger games, there was a tribute named Titus that became a cannibal in the games. The capital didn't like it because it was grossing out the audience and they ended up killing him by making an avalanche collapse on him so he wouldn't be a crazy victor.
Also why they pick up the bodies. To prevent cannibalism.
burymeinpink In the books, Katniss states that one tribute in the past went cannabilistic and started eating his victims. Luckily, he was killed by a rolling boulder or something, I can't remember exactly.
burymeinpink There was cannibalism I'm pretty sure in the second book. I haven't read it tbh
One of the contestants was and he lasted a long time. The game makers had to tranq him or taser him to get him off the bodies so they could take him away. in the end when he was getting close to being the victor the game makers killed him so they wouldn't have him as the victor
By having a knife you can carve spears and other weapons out of wood.
yes very clever idea
Ya but wood breaks
@@robinsonbright2671 so can knives
@@robinsonbright2671 maybe but if you carve it hard enough you can stab once or twice
@@robinsonbright2671 some wood is harder than others because if every wood was soft my table would be broken rn
"Waiting for others to stop surviving." That's called dying Mat.

11:26 I've always rooted for Bear Gryll's camera crew. They're the ones that have to follow that idiot. Those are the real heroes.
But here is the thing: If everybody follows theses tips and avoids the cornucopia, there will be no one at the cornucopia. This means that it would actually increase your chances of surviving, since you will be the only one to have weapons and food and water or whatever.
But since there is no one, at the cornucopia, people will begin to go to the cornucopia, which would increase the amount of people at the cornucopia, and then everything would just loop
exactly!
yes a quantum paradox that can only be solved by that drunk guy from game theories episode on the game portal
@@starleighpersonal Do you mean rick?
No, these advices and tips are for weaklings who can only pray to stay alive. Those who're skilled and who can run fast would obviously go to the cornucopia at the beginning. There would always be people who go there, don't worry
The smart thing to do would be to go to the Cornucopia, but not straight to the center. Take some supplies from the edge. Maybe a knife or two. Don't go for the weapons in the very center, as the chances of survival start to waver drastically depending on your opponents and the arena you're competing in.
From two video i can conclude:

Like oof
7:23 Suzanne Collins stated that she got the idea for the books while she was channel surfing. On one channel was a reality tv show, on the other war and that was her inspiration
Now tell me what happens when all 24 players do this
equal chance then
You have to be smart enough to do something completely different. If there are no careers at the cornucopia, make it yours. Get kitted up while nobody else has any weapons.
+Inuzupunupi that theory is better than mat pats👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😲
the hunger games last 4 ever
The arena officials will kill them off like in the 74 with the wild massive dogs or 75th with the acid fog , spinning hurricane , ect.
great how do I try if the water is poisoned
slow exposure. first put it on a patch os skin. if nothing happens, put some in your mouth but dont swallow. if nothing happens, take a small sip. wait a while. if nothing happens you are probably okay to drink.
Zephammo ye but some poision can even kill you if you only drink like one little thing of it
Paratela true. in that case you are screwed lol. If there arent dead things in/around the water, or nothing at all (all life is avoiding it) its probably not poisoned that badly though
in the first place you should boil the water before drinking it. idk if that helps with poison.
But building a fire is hardly wise in the Hunger Games...I remember in the first book, a girl very stupidly did that. Not only did she make a fire, she made a fire at night. The Careers made short work of her. If fire is given on the field (like how they tried to smoke Katniss out of a hiding spot in the first book), cool...take some and use it QUICKLY. If not...forget it.
But if we're talking about just in general, yeah, never hurts to boil water to purify it as much as possible :)

@Lotus 369 is that a matrix reference?
Hey Matpat! Another great survival video! There are some important factors that you might have forgotten about:
What if you CAN’T find water like in the 75th hunger games? The only way that they got drinkable water was from the trees.
In the first book, Katniss mentioned that poorer districts have the tactical advantage of having a better tolerance for hunger. In your opinion what do you think is better? Lots of lbs or higher tolerance for starvation?
People who have sad backstorys are more vulnerable to attacks like the jabberjays or any emotion related attacks.
You also didn’t mention the tessera. Is it worth it?
I completely agree with all of your points but… You should definitely think about pre hunger games. Not the week before, The year you turn twelve and your name can be pulled. You can always become a career right? I would love to see a part 3!
Nice comment but i doubt he will ever see this as its 7 yrs later
Okay, so, uhh...
1: If you can't find water, you die, lol. It's as simple as that. In fact, in the first book, Katniss almost died of dehydration before stumbling on a pond by sheer luck! In a situation where you cannot find water, you just have to hope that you either stumble upon a water source by chance or that your mentor sends some to you.
2: I don't think the two have nothing to do with each other. Eating a lot before the Games shouldn't affect your tolerance for hunger, at least as far as I am aware, but I could be wrong.
3: Yes, people with sad backstories are vulnerable to things like that, but there's really nothing they can do to help it. Unless, of course, they make up a fake backstory for themselves and hide their real, sad backstory from the world, but that might honestly not be worth it, due to how hard it is to mask something like that.
4: Wether or not tessera is worth it depends on how much you care about your and your family's survival. I mean, the idea of tesserae is that any child of Reaping age can request an year's worth of grain and oil from the Capitol, but the cost of that food is higher chances of getting Reaped into the games, and each child can take as many tesserae as there are family members in the house. So it's probaply NOT worth it, unless there is absolutely NO other food available. However, if there really is no other food source for you and your family, then yeah, of course it is worth it, because if you don't take it, you're gonna die anyway from starvation.
And lastly, 5: No, you cannot just become a Career. It is illegal. Training for the Games in any way is illegal, as well as owning a weapon. The only reason Districts 1, 2 and 4 can become Careers is that they have very close ties to the Capitol, and thus enjoy many special privilliges other Districts don't have access to, such as the right to train for the Games. So yeah, you can become a Career, as long as you are from District 1, 2 or 4 (or alternatively, you can train for the games in secret if you are from another District, but that is VERY risky business, both for you and your family).
Hope this comment answered some of your questions!
Katnis: ok team let's...
Peter: ok she's dead let's go.

So basically....if Foxface had studied her plants, she could have won -_-
CarAmeL624 Basicly
That's if you don't discount the theory that she DID know the berries were poisonous but decided to eat them anyway. She can't be the only one who decided to commit suicide by hunger games once in.
irondragonmaiden right not your fault
irondragonmaiden yeah after watching it again I think you're right!!!!
good point
I had a lucid dream where I went into the Hunger Games and I realized it was a dream but of course I ran away from the Cornucopia but let me tell you there's nothing worse than that feeling of having nothing, I actually ran back into the fight because I felt so unprotected. (But that was just a dream so idk)
See this is why mat pat would win the hunger games
You mean fat pat
Charlotte McCulloh what?
Why Don't we is the worst

That’s probably why he won escape the night.
I want to see Survival Theory now....
I missed the high-five. does that mean I die now?
And ya'know you can befriend the13th district....
I get that reference lol
Let's play a game what will you do in the hunger games if you find a 6 year old kid a lone. Me I will team up with the kid and tell him if we are the last 2 he will kill me because he is a kid. I will find water and food and all that stuff. If I see a guy I will use the kids cuteness to get him off guard then kill him. We are now the last 4 and we meet a strong guy. This is were you have to be evil. In the fight let the kid die. Make it so real that you tried to save him. Kill the other guy and tell the 6 year old that he was a great person. And the crowed will decide to kill the other person.
i would kill bear grills to see this
+Gray stripe is mc This last name is made up Well... You wouldn't meet a six-year-old. It's twelve-to-eighteen-year-olds.
+Tal Dru Bear Grylls is a sellout. He makes MatPat look like a traffic cop.
