Greetings and welcome to the bottom of the description. I'm Alax, more legally known as Alex Carducci. I make design analysis videos on fictional stuff I really like. Most of this time this centralizes on video games I love like Super Smash Bros., Super Mario, Persona, or Sonic the Hedgehog. I studied design and communications, so I find it fascinating how technology and culture shapes the media in our lives and how we perceive it. My channel aims to look into the history and development of these topics in depth so we can all find the truth as to why things are made the way they are. Also, there's a talking cat. - Hry
Alax having a bunch of Scott the Woz meme logos at the end of this video is payback for trying to take over Scott's world with the game "It's Awesome, Baby!"
I see you everywhere we watch the exact same videos what the hell literally every video every comment section leave me and my family alone
there are 3 types of people
There are actually FOUR types of people if you count the person who says that there are a certain amount of people
YOU (2)

y'all sleeping on Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games - this is the legit title no less
*Talks about Y2K quickly without giving it a whole review/rant*
WHY DO YOU TAUNT US??
Why? Was it bad or something?
@@eggboi2345 The game is really, REALLY bad
“My sister died” “Lol who cares”
“CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT’S GOING ON?!?!” X 1,000,000
“LEMONADE”
See, Yick is actually not bad because it's *completely* horrible. Lots of stuff, like the game's aesthetic, the voice acting, and a couple of the game's scenes were conceptualized _and_ executed well. Not only that, but the game also has several _really_ interesting concepts that could make the game very enjoyable.
The thing is, *_they were executed horribly._*
I could go on and on and on with examples of things Yick intended to do and failed miserably, but I don't want to write an essay, so I'll go with just one.
The main character is supposed to be a jerk, and progressively realize how bad of a person he's being and redeem himself as the plot advances. It's the origin of the _actually ridiculous_ "Dude! Nobody cares about your dead sister!" line that got paraphrased by that previous comment.
It's a cool concept, right? Redemption arcs seem to only happen to rivals or teammates these days.
*But there's no redemption arc.* Alex does *NOT* get better throughout the entire game. He continues being a jerk up until the very end, and unless you hack into the scrapped ending from the game's files, he continues being a jerk _throughout_ the very end, too.
Well, it's still a pretty cool concept if you put effort into it. The jerk wins the final battle, still a jerk, and it ends up it wasn't worth it at all because it was a hollow victory and nobody likes him even though he saved the world. Fate coming back around for some karmic retribution.
*Nope! No karma around here!* Alex (still a major douchebag) just saves the entire world, gets the good ending, and that's it. The end.
I mean, sure, you can still make that work! A grim, gritty amoral ending, where the guy who doesn't care about anyone wins, and gets away with it. It could make for a pretty good nihilistic ending that leaves you wondering if it's ever worth it to fight when the bad guys win anyway, and to boot, it also fits the theme of the game (being about Y2K and all)! It's a pretty brave choice, fitting for a self-proclaimed post-modern RPG!
*Hahahahahaha, no, he's still treated like a good guy.*
Also, the game's default ending forces you through a passive-aggressive snide comment about the devs' previously failed game, which is actually referenced so many times in the game itself up to that point, too (including through voice-acting. Alex name-drops it himself).
Captain Vetter so basically, the game makes shooting your self in the balls seem more enjoyable than playing it. Even Toby Fox working on the ost could not salvage the absolute abomination that is this game.
"Horror games why they don't do something different?"
Doki Doki: Am I a joke to you ?
That's a horror game?
@@tyrannokoenigsegg8868 did you even watch or play past the first act?
But thats not horror
@@tyrannokoenigsegg8868 it's free, I suggest you play it. then you have to play it again, and then I think a third time. That's all I'll say.

And play the new SSF2 1.2 update
key word on EXACT same time
Please don’t tell me you’re watching CZcams in a movie theater...
I watched it yesterday lol
Man that would be a very confusing 12 minutes and 16 seconds.
6:23 I genuinely thought it said "Blaz Tag Blue Balls Cross"
For more stuff like that go to the Don't Dead Open Inside subreddit.
If you still don't know, it's Blazblue Cross Tag Battle, a 2v2 2d fighter where characters from every anime and a few OCs kill each other with 50% combos.
Sean The Bermanator link please
@@SomeRandomDude821 Well, specifically characters from a bunch of "anime-styled" fighting games, mostly ones that ArcSys was involved with...plus RWBY.
it linda looks like "blaz tag blue ballz oross" lol
0:38 Yeah, the "O" isn't slanted!!!
YOUR RIGHT HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THAT
But the text is italicized so it's ok.
Serriously- who would actually, in the middle of a normal casual conversation, really say:
"Dragon Quest 11 S Echoes of An Elusive Age: Definitive Edition."
the game is shorter than the title and it's a JRPG with two parts, some time bullshit and a postgame
That saiyan guy or kingdom hearts zero point two birth by sleep: a fragmentary passage a part of the kingdom hearts two point eight final chapter prologue
I only do it as a meme because the game has a stupidly long title
@@pogpoptarts funky kong mode
Konker’s New Super Fire Emblem HD Fighters 3 On 2 Definitive Edition DS And Knuckles is the best game ever don’t @ me
But it doesn't feature Dante from the Devil may cry series
It has a new funky mode!
Crispy_Pizzarolls but it has as many Fire Emblem characters as Smash does ;)
Can't wait for the DELUXE version
What about “+ Bowser’s Minions”
6:36 I thought u added the “rd” in the thumbnail in Microsoft Paint or something just to make the thumbnail look more cluttered but nope, it’s actually from a logo, my god.
Yep, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2. Surprisingly, this title is actually one of the shorter ones for Guilty Gear.
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R
@ Guilty Gear XXX huh……………………………………………..
the new 18+ game
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R manages to be worse. The game is awesome but the logo-

@@SaviTheGamer Weird place to ask, but it's the theme from The Price is Right. Usually played when the gameshow...y'know, _has a winner._

@@SaviTheGamer Jeopardy winner song
“Well now that I have this, I don’t think I could possibly update this.”
3 Months Later
A shame you didn't talk about the mind-blowing fact about Dragon Quest logos : every even numbered entries' logo are blue and every odd one's are red.
Other way around though
Imagine having ‘For Nintendo 3DS’ on your title...
*I seriously don’t understand some companies...*
You fool, it is because the 3DS is a respectable console!
Why doesn’t the thumbnail have “for Wii U and 3DS” in it
And where is all stars battle Royale
It's because of those idiots that think their PS3 can play 3DS games.
1:33 so it seems he's slipping in tiny little JoJo references, you know that's from diamond is unbreakable, that sign is about to be electrocuted into the underworld
And Rohan is going to die... like... 4 times...
@@BladBrlm and yet he still lives on today
@@k_klaw2097 yeah, I know but he dies in the Bites the dust arc

I'm proud of you Alax. We need to continue to expose the horrors of the design world.
Bro! Where have you been in the last 3 months? We miss you. 🙁
One of my favourite graphic design CZcamsrs!
3:59
The second largest franchise representation in Smash is Mario with 9. Pokemon is the largest with 10. Fire Emblem has 8
Pokémon trainer is 1 character
That's just counting characters however. Mario has more content overall than Pokemon, even if you count Pokemon Trainer as 3 different characters (and a background prop lol).
Because Mario has more costumes, overall spirits, and especially music. It's relatively close but still.
Fire Emblem is a baby compared to the two of them there tho lol. People just rip on it because it gets characters when the rest of its content is not all that big at all.
@Darling Vexa Art Well, that too, but characters aren't everything really. Prior to Gareg Mach, FE's only stage that was an actual location was Arena Ferox, meaning in total half of their stages are generic (granted Pokemon also has two generic stages of their own too but eehh they at least had other more actual locations… PLENTY of those as well).
And then there's spirits, music, and other additional content. … Need I say more, lol.
6:55 *point at* "Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie" yes that IS the game's title 😂 also I didn't understand how to read "Xrd" until last year, and now the devs decided on a more simple title. (a part of me did wish it was actually more convoluted like in previous games)
X is 10 ... So ... It's turd. Final answer
You mean the ps2 game? That game was the BOMB
Guilty Gear Strive is such a good title, but I get you. I love me some convoluted nonsensical Japanese game titles. Like Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r]
@@mmmmm4932 it was on many consoles but yeah it was a great game. One of the best movie based and very underrated
8:44 I'll fight you Alax, you can't do my boys dirty like this, throwing Armored Core 2 in the poop list.
Had to ctrl+F to see if anyone else said it first. I've never felt offended so effortlessly, what the heck.
This is what I was coming to mention
Same same
Yeah, Armored Core doesn't deserve that. It deserves a new game, if FromSoft can stop doing Dark Souls for 5 minutes
Never even played Armored Core 2 but I've heard it's good so I KNEW Alax was kicking the hornets nest putting that in there
The Mariokart DS logo is what happens when Nintendo tries to be *overly edgy*
No wonder Mario Kart titles felt less appealing. The Wii Menu makes me feel like I'm looking at a gallery from an Apple Computer than an actual video game console.
I'm pretty sure that's Mario Strikers Charged.
I remember hearing that the reason of the change was because Miyamoto saw Double Dash as waaaay too childish for Mario’s standards or something, so he decided to make the following entries more visually serious, while maintaining the Mario appeal
0:38 Oh..... For a moment, I thought you meant the “O” in Sonic. Lol!
"These logos DON'T work!"
Shows many, not all, standout logo's that do very well to capture what the game is about
8:15
The Z is confirmed not part of the word Figther, though.
It's sad because Strikers has that same problem on the S at the end being inconsistent with the font and big yet he calls that one good. Which I'll agree but I feel like he needs to compare the logos to the actual fucking Box art.
But... Its pronounced "fighters"
But why is there barely any spacing then?!
So it's Dragon Ball Z Fighter? My life is a damn lie
@@rhydonmaidik5345 It's Dragon Ball Fighter Z but everyone calls it Fighters.
FINALLY! MY FAVORITE GAME Conker's New Super Fire Emblem HD TRG Fightersrd X Definitive Edition 3 on II•8 DS & Knuckles, featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series with New Funky Mode is finally getting the love and attention it DESERVES
That Nick What about the omega?
What about the ultra version? Or Eyes of heaven all star battle Wibble Wobble Chapter 2 Bedrock Edition V. 6.9
But what about the Extend version?
Guys guys calm down
The original is the best. No matter what anyone says, the character development is on point, and the re-releases dont do anything new.
@@thatnick967 Chapter 2 was a sequel not a rerelease and V 6.9 got rid of many bugs and glitches
9:27 makes me laugh how you included the movie logo...that sadly inspired the logos that came afterwards
Vamos zebitas, guapo!
9:36 do you know the name of this song please
@@SaviTheGamer the price is right winning theme.
@@handragoon thanks man... But I already knew that lol, somebody else told me in the comment section, thanks a bunch tho!
@@SaviTheGamer aight.
Huh, I actually kinda like the X tail on the Star Fox logo XD
verified, a year ago, but only 8 (now 9) likes and no replies! a wrong must be righted
It’s the top comment but only has like 30 likes. This really shows how much CZcams favors verified accounts
Of course you do SonicHaXD
youre a furry of course you do
I absolutely love Alax’s comedic style of exposition. Too many gaming channels are very dry in the commentary side.
Kinda like scott the woz
@@cmcbkt4668 Very much so.
All gaming channels are commentary though
Colin GZ Network Plus not all, some do no commentary gameplay (no-hit boss runs, longplays, etc.)
Star The Clone Wars Wars is how Star Wars: The Clone Wars presented its logo for the first six seasons, and I am very glad they changed it for the seventh season. It had a video game in 2008 with the same confusing logo, so I feel like that makes it somewhat relevant to this video.
STAR
THE CLONE WARS
WARS
The Empire Strikes back does the same thing for some reason.
Dragon Quest XIS Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition may have an absurdly long name, but it makes it easy to tell which people have culture. Sure, you can spare your vocal cords, but don’t expect me to talk to you ever again if you just call it *”Dragon Quest 11 S”*
There's 1 JP game with an even longer name.
How about Drag Quest Xis Elusive Age Def edition
What if i call it DQXISEoaEADE
Beo Wulf no
What, now it’s not medium-sized? What a rip-off!
9:46
I legit thought it said either AGON'J or AGONIJ

3:58 3rd most representated in playable characters*
8:45 Hey wait a minute. The Armored Core series is actually pretty cool. Albeit niche series.
"You can only see Twilight for the first time once." - RelaxAlax, 2020
This is the second time this week that I saw Tales of Vesperia in a video that talks about anime games at some point. Good. One of my favorite games, part of my favorite jrpg franchise. Even if it’s only a little, I enjoy the exposure.
1:29 The XP fans are coming up soon, I can see them from the grassy field ahead.
So can we just talk about how the S _O_ NIC logo has had the "O" tilted since the first game even though he can't spindash in that one? Also the S _O_ NIC head in S _O_ NIC Her(sonichead)es? (known in Japan as ソニック ヒー[sonichead]ーズ)
That's because it's not supposed to look like a spindash, it's supposed to be a ring
@@mbrillon765 Then why is it tilted? Rings aren't tilted like that.

Metroid Fans: Nintendo doesn't release Metroid games
I don't know what you are talking about, the (title of thumbnail) is my favorite logo.
Game's better, but you know.
0:27 the video buffered before Alax had a mental breakdown
I honestly live for this game logo content, graphic design is a tricky but very interesting thing
1:32 Is that a Pepsi logo? I can’t tell with the lightning in the way.
The King of Antarctica BITES ZA DUSTO
1:28 YOU'RE CALLING XP'S LOGO BAD?!!!
why am i proud of the fact that i knew that alax was talking about omega labyrinth
To their credit, the logo is unmistakable.
We need that Relax Alax font tier list right now
Forget Smash content
I need to know where you'd put Arial!
Alax: "The spacing between the letters."
Me: Alax, it's called tracking.
5:47 wtf also what game
I have noticed every time I binge watch Alex's old videos he uploads not long after.
I love this pls keep making this type of videos.
I'm disgusted with all the logos you out in the thumbnail. They're all amazing.
4:00 The second largest franchise in Smash would either be Pokémon (if you include the spinoffs with the mario characteras) or mario (if you don't). Not FE.
It's a joke... A good one at that, I'm an FE fan and I still laugh at it.
It's a joke about FE's large (although very poor) representation. It's not a Alax video if doesn't rip on FE at least once. Ugh
@ in which case pokemon still is second
@ mario:9 (11 with spinoffs)
Pokemon:10
FE:8
@ yes, it is. Just without numbers.
good vid alax. You make good fun vids, thank you
Your editing skills are so impressive!
Thanks I almost had an ephiletic atack from the thumnail
I read the thumbnail

Hey Alex could you do a video of which character in smash ultimate would return on a future smash game or who would get cut?
after watching you for 3 years that intro is awesome
