360CHRISM INSPIRED ME TO START POKEMON CHALLENGES. GO CHECK HIM OUT HE IS SUPER NICE
he has the full, unedited race posted to his channel: czcams.com/video/qMXaeKGi1ZM/video.html
Hi
Hey smallant
First pls pin
hi ant
j.
Watching him use the rare candy on his whooper was like watching a parent say to their kid "I love you, but you're not what I need" heartbreaking.
It was the hero he deserved, just not the one he needed just then!
Every kick begins with k
which parent ever used this sentence? how did you come up with that comparison?
@@BatLB brother it's a hypothetical sentence that WOULD be heartbreaking if a parent said it 🧍♀️
@@mh56487 and it would be heartbreaking if a parent said "i dont love you, you suck, go and eat a bowl of F you dog"... Whats your point? Its a nonsensical comment.
Smant: I am way worse than him
The game: I bless you with rng
Smant: Just as planned
the game was a paid actor /s
All according to keikaku.
picking a different pokemon was a big brain play
I’m the 1000th like 😌
Joseph Joestar's strategy
Chrism is one Wholesome dude, 100%ed Super Mario Sunshine thanks to him!!
He gives huge "Big Bro helps you through the game" energy.
@@zes3813 what
I've been following Chris since a super long time ago, at least 6 or 7 years at this point. I'm glad to see him get highlighted on a really large channel like this, he's a great dude that deserves success
@@zes3813 I believe in bx, and you can't shake my faith. I will die on this hill.
Chrism is amazing, loved all the randomizer series with Shen
Someone should challenge smallant to a speed run. A literally foot race. Irl on a track
For some irrational reason I still think he’d win that
@@vexed_con he isn't built for fights so its likely he would be extremely fast
I will take this loss for the team
It'd be fantastic content
He'll take the "grass glitch" to cut the run time in half *running on a tack 🤣
"It sounded absolutely ridiculous so I accepted the challenge " Nice
"what could possibly go wrong, right?"
I don't know how you do it, but you are the undisputed comeback king
ITS TEMP6T
So when are you gonna do a speedrun race :P
Good idea
SmallAnt vs Temp6t
its the bidoof god
The fact that you caught up from a 10 minute deficit and clutched it at the end... This is the best comeback story of a lifetime.
What if you have a moustache and we would never know about it since it's covered by that Armor thing?
@@ItsmeUVie i'd like to believe that this guy shaves his mustache all the time only so that his yt name stays correct
I’m not sure if I can trust this comment yet, but with videos like this, I appreciate spoilers. So thank you moustacheless comment man.
Naw, Kim Kardashian’s was much better.
touch grass
Can we take a moment to appreciate SmallAnt's storytelling ability? I mean, c'mon. I could watch these videos over and over again and still be on the edge of my seat.
I love how for some reason in this kind of videos at some point the race becomes a contest of who can bluff harder.
The fact you purposely chose a different starter just blows my mind, also I love the storytelling in this
It was a pretty gutsy call, but the random giveth, and the random taketh away!
@@LucianDevine Not really that gutsy when he's going in to this race knowing he's at a skill deficit. If you know the other player is better than you, your best chance of winning is to rely on luck. It's not gutsy to go for the strategy that gives you the highest odds of winning.
@@cmonkey3698 It's a bit gutsy not taking a legendary when it's offered to you, even if it's just for 1 level. The fact that he ended up giving the rival a permanent Jirachi is also a bit unfortunate, lol.
One has to also remember that May had a Jirachi the entire time. Every time Ant fought her, he'd get a massive Experience boost from that alone.
@@cewla3348 piss mate
I absolutely loved that the newer gen Pokémon were in there. It was wonderful. I love seeing them in the emerald sprites
I wish the newer games looked like that
They all looked so badass
@@protomedia8325 Me too, the 3D is cool but please give us another 2D game gamefreak
@@Succui BDSP was the closest thing we'll have to it for a while im guessing.
@@char5379 it’s unfortunate
Smants on-the-fly strategising is absolutely unreal. He's often not as honed at any of these games as other big speedrunners, but he is seriously the example of guile and speed of wit over raw experience with a game. It is untrue how, given an unknown version of the game, strategies he's never heard of, pokemon he's not sure about, he's able to make tactical decisions which are often even supposedly 'non-optimal' in a full-time speedrunner's eyes, to outpace his opponent. Something special about that mind.
I remember seeing his nomination for best speedrunner a while back, and this is exactly one of the reasons I thought he deserved top spot. Just as a really funny streamer/CZcamsr can make any game enjoyable to watch, Smallant can make any run enjoyable because he's incredibly creative and good at strategising on the spot. I think that's quite unique among most speedrunner videos, and it's always fascinating to watch how he pulls through each time.
@@phthalo_blue He won best speedrunner in QTcinderella's streamer awards and rightfully so.
Yeah, most speedrunners become good via brutal rote. Smallant is genuinely talented.
I think SmallAnt is gonna become a being that should be feared
The man that can beat anyone at anything randomly.
You mean he isn’t already?
@@ozzi9816 Yeah I mean he kinda already is
Just like Wooper
@@thecyberrabbit1440 or Kirby
Smant is literally like one of the only youtubers i still enjoy so just like, thank you for being entertaining
Ant proves to us that being independant is a noble goal for us ants to pursue
I love these as it shows how quick and crafty Ant is. Everytime he's behind he has a plan to get ahead in 2 seconds
It takes a special combination of humility and ballsiness to recognize that you can't win on an even playing field and go for the right gambles.
SmallAnt really just has big main character energy, a 10 minute drawback and still managed to keep up and win it with the luck of the gods, this man is just built different
In the immortal words of the Pokemon World Champ, "Luck is a skill" 😂
if jacob says it you know it has to be true
WORLD ANT DIFFERENCE BAYBEEE
Chrism had good luck at the start, but bad luck near the end, while Ant had bad Pokémon near the start, but good Pokémon at the end. The duality of man
For fighting against someone who was basically playing on New Game+, this was a scarily close race.
Chrism might have the knowledge, the experience and the skill, but ant got one woopy boi twice.
I’m waiting for the video where it’s “someone challenged me to a race” and it’s like an irl foot race
He wins by getting on a electric scooter half way
One day he is gonna beat every single poketuber on the planet
Hes got a list and scars in his bed xD
I dunno. To do that he'd have to take on Shen, and I'm not sure he'd survive a KIRBY AIR RIDE crystal run...
@@nithazra He doesn't have to survive. He just has to survive longer than his opponent!
List of poketubers he should go up against:
Tyranitatartube
MunchingOrange
Pimpnite
WolfeVgC
@@skullguy4863 he has the same power level as pimpnite
Smallant: I dont know what this is but I imagine that it can't take ice very well
applin: 4x weak to ice
the reads on this man
I guess that's also good design on flapple. Like, it looks like a plant dragon, so grass dragon type would make sense.
“I can beat this Jirachi…“
“Jirachi survived on one” :/
I love this kind of videos thanks for this
SmallAnt is definitely one of the main characters in this world.
Chrism is one of my favourite content creators, I love how he does fun races with Shen but then also bridges the gap between creators like Simpleflips and Smallant. Truly a legend
I saw most of this live and it was incredibly fun, I hope you do this with even more people in the future.
I love a good comeback story
Perfect timing :D just the right thing to watch before going to bed
Chrism is great, have been watching him for years so it’s awesome seeing the two of you work together
Nothing more emotional than sacrificing Wooper at the end
You won this???????? OMG, I only watched the first half of the stream, so... I'm pretty amazed lol
Hi checkmark
To the editor who put the “foreshadowing” right after he didn’t get rare candies: that was a genius move but you got me so nervous I hate you lmao ;
Doesn't Ant edit his own videos?
@@robertwright8844 oh he does? No wonder the genius of that move then lol
@@justmeinting8665 almost as genius as wooper
Glad to see the supreme dominance of our beloved whoopy boi returning to the forefront of Smant’s attention.
2:36 The message in the chat…
Congrats on the victory SmallAnt! The woopy gods shined down upon you in this race.
I don't know HOW you do it it SmallAnt! This race had me on the edge of my seat (toilet seat) the entire time, what a comeback
I love 360Chrism!!!! That’s so hype that you’re collabing with him!
"I have no idea what this is, but I imagine it can't take ice hammer very well."
I only caught the tail end of this race live (right as they started the E4). I had no idea how much luck Smant had to have saved up from the start of the run. That was crazy!
Hey tanner I really appreciate you uploading more often lately it really does help me get through the monotony of daily life with the humor you provide.
I don't know how but smallAnt always has the stars aligned at the perfect moments.... I want that luck so much
Mans brute forced his way to victory. Love to see it
Looks like your *wish* to beat Jirachi was finally granted
Haven't played pokemon in about 20 years but I still love watching these. It's amazing to see how the game play has changed over the years
Hell back in the day, moves and mechanics didn't matter. It was all about hitting level 100 and overpowering everything. The skill these guys show is incredible.
@@rlbsbc163bel I hate to break it to you but that's still how Pokemon works after 25 years
@@anonanonymous9670 oh? Cuz that's exactly what this video shows...
@@anonanonymous9670 not to mention games like pokemon stadium where every mon was equal level and you needed to understand the game to beat it....
what a name lol
Question... What Is This Hack Based Off Of? What I Mean Is, How Did You Get The Modern Pokemon In The Older Games?
SmallAnt is getting cheekier and cheekier with his foreshadowing lol.
small ant, before 1 week i started to watch u , realy good channel. but this ytubers and guys who do speed race with u in random pokemon emerald its the best part in ur channel in my opinion, i hope u will do more of this, cause this is soo goooddd
I love when Smant beats more experienced opponents with cleverness
He got really lucky for this one
@@somerandomguy6318 yea, the continuous bad evolution chain that occured for chrism is a brutal example
I admire your dedication to finish editing the stream and uploading this all at 1am
Watching videos like these before bed is too stressful
This just proves Small Ant has plot armour during these races so he can never lose.
well except that one time he lost
Smant's insane luck is just part of his personality at this point 😂
smallant coming up with a strategy i've seen alot of my poker oponents use...
"if i play worse, i might get luckier!" 🤣
First of all thanks so much for your content Tanner! It's a lot of fun to watch. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to watch your streams and/or the vods but every time you post a "highlight" version of it on CZcams is a blast! Keep up with the good work! You are amazing!
Ive been watching 360Chrism for like 4 years now ! He's super cool and i love his content! So great to see him in the spotlight! Well deserved!
Plot armor basically describes this whole video
Chrism!
I'm looking forward to this one. That dude usually puts up with shen, so this is gonna be interested.
SmAnt GOATed
Bruh the fact that newer gen pokemon have sprites ingame actually amazes me. The lengths we go for modding
I literally have never watched twitch vods but I was so bored so I was watching yours, and then this notification? God is real
I love these challenge runs! In Pokémon and the bingo mine craft challenges too! Keep it up :)
At first I was like “just reset dude” but yeah actually that was way more exciting to watch
So glad you are uploading regularly again I binged most of your channel back in January and when I was ready for new content it coincided right at your break
Just amazing how smallant manges to turn around impossible situations
I must say,that wooper do be lookin like it needs an ant.
360chrism has been a favorite of mine for a while now, ngl I’ve just recently gotten into SmallAnt’s content but I’m thrilled he’s working with smaller creators. awesome race and wild ending! would love to see more stuff like this.
I feel like thumbnail Ant and actual on-screen Ant have two very different personalities.
"I hadn't evolved into a good pokemon yet" I will hear no Perrserker slander, he is amazing
He is amazing if you like trash pokemon
Just about to go to bed, this is perfect timing.
Smallant finding a win a speedrunning race against somebody who literally found the optimal strategy to beating the game is like that one comic where the Flash figured out how to outrun somebody who could insta-teleport. Smallant is the Undisputed King of Speedrunning
Happy with the content coming back! I love these challenges.
finding a ever stone may be useful, if it lets you ignore the evos every level.
This is just perfect, I just finished watching everything on my list and SmallAnt delivers!😍💯🔥
You're telling me people made Gen 3 sprites for Gen 8 Pokemon? I god damn love it
“Dayno” 😂 I am aware not everyone understands multiple languages I just found this funny. A fun fact about Deino and his evolutionary chain is that the names are based on the german words for one, two, and three (eins, zwei, drei, respectively). Because of this, Deino is pronounced “Die-no”, zweilous as “Zv-eye-less”, and Hydreigon as “High-Dry-gone”. Just a fun Pokémon fact for you (the reader of this comment) today 😁
this is so cool thank you for the information !!
"It sounded ridiculous but I accepted the challenge."
- True Gamers be like
Are you the best gamer out there at the moment? Maybe... Are you feared by everyone who wanna challenge you? For sure! Awesome run. Was very fun to watch, even if i was in the livestream
Smant has this ability to come up with something ingenius and comeback from any bad situation.
He's showcased this against a ton of people that are considered to be the best at what they do.
Babe wake up, it’s another SmallAnt Pokemon speedrun race video!!!
Bro, imagine how much effort went into the sprites and coding for all new gen mons 👏 that's 👏 freaking 👏 awesome ❤️ best mod for emerald ever
Love how SmallAnt goes from "I randomly picked a starter" to "HAH! You fools I planned this from the start now it's time for the comback!" upon the comeback plot twist.
Imagine randoming the Woopy Boi twice.
I love how he seems so lovable and wholesome when doing these challenges with people. Even Crow for the most part.
Smallant Continuing his mission as a main character by fighting all the side bosses in the pokemon community
Is the final boss rt game?
I love 360Chrism and his content. I’m glad he’s finally collaborating with Smant in a Pokémon challenge.
Dude I love all of these special game modes. I watch all of your lockout, bingo, special run videos. And come back to your channel specifically for these. 😁👍🏼
Love this vid cuz its such a close fight, and the good sportsmanship, and SmallAnt being is such a good guy too.
this version of pokemon emerald is something i would find in one of those 500 in 1 cartridges
Anyone ever remember a time Smant lost, because I genuinely can’t.
He never loses on CZcams
I think there was a Minecraft black out bingo he lost
It was like an extremely close one, where the last goal was to get to an end city, and while Smant made it to the end first, the other player found a city before Smant did, and won
Edit: Found the video, titled "I challenged Minecraft's Best Speedrunner to a test of skill" posted in February - wasn't a black out bingo like I thought, but was a lockout challenge with 13 objectives
Man that was such a well made video, the tension as you both opened the gates together was legendary
I like how you rate vandied the whooper to make him feel les bad about his luck what a gentleman
The fact that SmallAnt came into that challenge with multiple disadvantages and still pulled out a dub scares me
Just finished the video it was crazy when they started jumping into a bucket of bedrock
Aaah i love your creativity, combined with your deep knowledge of the games/pokemon..it just allows for these epic matches no one else can provide
This was one of the best challenge races yet, loved the story that was told throughout the video
