- Good or bad decicons are tough because in the moment you act with everything you have available and it can still not make it easy to make the right call. I take a look at viewer submitted plays and give my take on them. Yeehaw! Become a channel member today!:

The only thing I need to know is how many hats falinks can wear at once
Oh man I can’t wait
I wanna see a falinks skin that's like a chinese dragon parade, where each trooper carries a segment of the dragon on a stick, and the leader carries the head
@@ShuckleThePokemon thats acctualy a very awesome idea
NOT ENOUGH HATS. 🫵🧐
@@ShuckleThePokemon that’s a great idea although i don’t think the guys would be connected because of the formations
What I learned from this video is that many people go to backcap during Ray. Ah this playerbase 😂
but these Dodrio and Aegislash themselves are saying it was a 1 time thing, they presented it knowing it was a bad thing. The Meowscarada was lucky tho.
I think it's great that they posted it as a Results vs Good Play debate
I think back capping is 95 percent of the time never the option to go with
@@ChesterRGC it's easy to say now that it's a one time thing. Fact remains that the back-capper in this video all got away with it, which further encourages backcapping ...
It’s not that the idea of backcapping is bad. It’s just when they decide to backcap
to the backcappers: it wasn't a good play, you just lucked out
8:30 I think a good way to describe it is “they solved a problem that they created”.
I think the same thing when I paired with players who only score and don’t fight (sableye for example). Other team wins almost every fight because it’s a 4v5 but our team wins because the one guy scored so much “solving a problem they created”.
Very nice
I do agree with this but i do see the value of a quick eleki score when most of the team was down for ray.(idk why that was)
@@jasmijn-1419 that's an even bigger reason back cap shouldn't have been happening. 1: enemy had 5 players up and spawned vs meow team having 2 dead; all 5 of enemy team should have first off going for center. 2: sylveon was already making the bad play by going for that score because if the enemy had jumped towards center instead of top ray would have been dead way before any reaction is possible from sylveon *or* the meowscarada.
My mindset was to steal cause I didn’t really want to fight that mewtwo with its CC or comfey
That's a terrible problem to create (Sableye) cuz most games come down to Ray & late games scores r worth 2x neglecting early scores
Rename the video to "People are justifying on why they backcapped"
Lolololol
Spragels I think this needs to be a series!
If people like it I’ve got more!
@@spragelstrust me we want this to be a series. I love this
@@spragels it would also be really cool if you did a guess the elo type series
I was looking for a Blazing Saddles reference to describe how whole-heartedly I support this. I couldn't come up with anything, but I must have more of these highlight reviews. Oh, I must, I must.
This is a fun little series idea! Hopefully more coming in the future? Yeehaw cowboy
Yeah if people like it. I have a bunch more
@@spragels I want more videos on this series
@@spragels cant wait for more!
I agree, it's entertaining plus it also educates newish players to recognize bad and good plays etc. also i hope this evolves into "Aeos Got Talent" with Jake as the chill judge, Crisheroes as the Simon Cowell of Unite and Teeds, complete with Golden "Thanks" buzzer for superb plays and "check it out" buzzer for questionable plays or clips😊
I like it I hope
Running theme here seems to be Back Capping is a bad play. Hopefully we all learn a valuable lesson here.
There are good situations for it. It’s just rare
Im not a native english speaker. What is back capping?
@@vensilenced When you break away and try to score during the Rayquaza fight. Everyone is fighting over Ray, but you're going for a score instead.
@@_freebirdnerd I see, thanks.
I sometimes do that when all the enemy are dead or are about to respawn. It gives them a sense of urgency to stop me from scoring and divert their attention from Ray.
@@vensilenced That can be good to do sometimes, but more often than not, it's best just to rip Ray at that point and take that win condition away from the enemy team. If the enemy has 4 or 5 down, and you all attack Ray together, you can guarantee a win. Your strategy isn't bad (I like to take Regieleki right before Ray to try to distract some of the enemy), but most of the time it would be better to fight Ray with your team.
Good luck!
The description of this video reads.. people think their big brain plays are bigger than they actually are. Local sheriff lays out the truth
Haha
I love that most of these were back cappers seeking validation.
Im only half way through, but what im seeing so far is a very clear trend. People confusing their outplays/mechanical skill/luck leading to something working out with a good play, when its not. More often its factors outside of the actual macro decision that lead to the bad play not being punished. A good play is not one that relies on the enemy messing up or complete luck. Its one that works when those things are more against you than in your favour
Man this is so good. Please continue this series, as i consider myself a below average player and want to learn more from these mistakes
Glad you like it! Just looking into how to play makes you better than many players
The best clip should be given the title deputy of the day
Are all of these just “I made a bad decision but it worked out” plays?
Lots are like that
@@spragels not all but lots
The meow at the 7:01 clip truly had a him moment but if I’m his friends in vc I’m never letting this man on meow again. O7
lol
imao
Not a him moment if he set it up. You don't call a fire fighter a hero for setting a building on fire just so they can put it out, you call them an arsonist. That meow proved he was ahead enough to 1v5, so why did he wait for Ray to be on the line before he could do that? That replay doesn't prove his skill, it calls into question why his team was even dead to begin with. If he was able to 1v5 the entire enemy team with ease, then his team shouldn't even be dead.
If he can 1v5, imagine how much easier he could 5v5. His teammates either fought without him or he was off on his own trying to be a lone wolf. Either way, someone made a stupid decision, and that replay was just his way of doubling down.
@@loudwhispre9406He was trynna get an alpha sigma lone-wolf skibidi ohio final boss moment on camera
Oooh I like this. This should be a series!
Bad play or not, kudos to those who submitted videos for critique. Not many players would be so bold to do this and put themselves out there. This shows the desire to grow and improve from the aforementioned people and I’m with it.
Totally agree
Most of these people dont want to improve. They just wanted validation and thought they were going to get that. I'm willing to bet none of them took the advice given and still think what they did was right.
Hoping for a series for this type of content
Nice!
Maybe a rating system from A to F woulde be more acurate than bad or good play, cuz some clips sent werent necessearly a bad play, but something more like a b (eh, b) than a bad play
Good idea
Its obvious that these players are using "results based thinking" instead of "process based thinking". They feel that their plays are justified because those plays worked, which disregards all the luck needed for those plays to work. If your play relies on luck, being over leveled, or enemy stupidity, its a bad play even if it works, I don't care if it takes you from a guaranteed loss to a pure stomp comeback. And a play being "the only play" doesn't make it a good one. It makes it a hail mary, AKA, a desperation call.
Basing the quality of the play on the result is dumb, because stupid plays can work and you'll think that was a good decision, or smart plays can fail, and you'll think it was a bad decision. People tend to fall into this trap all the time because they just don't think at all. If you make smart plays, you'll probably be rewarded for them 90% of the time. If you make bad plays, you'll probably be rewarded 50% of the time, not because of skill or good logic, but because its a coin flip.
Used process based thinking, because if you always make good choices, you won't need to justify your decision, its gonna work out, and you're not gonna be relying on reckless gambling to make it look good. The player who always makes bad decisions is going to have more pop off moments than a good decision maker, where they beat the odds and the huge gamble pays off, that bad decision maker will also have hundreds more bad results by a mile (likely deaths, throws, and losses).
Another problem with "results based thinking" is that it actually goes by another name. Thrill seeking, or even worse: gambling addiction. Take that Meowscarada who tried to back cap then stole Ray. Total main character syndrome. Sylveon was already back capping. You were not going to make him stop scoring so you could squeeze your score in first. He already was risking 100 points, he was not going to give that up so you could risk 50 points instead. So you were already never gonna score even without the enemy team coming to defend. But what's especially stupid is the results of that play. Let's break it down:
- you didn't score your 25 energy for the 50 points
- you went to Ray, tried a last second steal, and it worked out
- you killed everybody
- you scored 100 points and win
Now let's see what would happen if you had gone to Ray like a normal person instead of ignoring your squad's calls:
- you don't score your 25 energy
- you kill everybody and now Ray is uncontested
- you take ray, score 100 points, and win
The key difference being that you never have a chance to fail and lose by just going to Ray like a normal person. You already were fed as hell, and you proved that you could just 1v5 them normally, so do that, take Ray while they're dead, and then score when they can't stop you, because you have Ray shield and also they're already dead. The literal only benefits to doing things your way was the hype when it worked. The downsides to doing it your way was the fact that it will lose if you try to ever recapture the magic, so by all means, keep doing it. When I queue against you, I'll gladly take the free win.
0:02 and its already happening "in Pokemon Unite!" 😂 Keep up the good work bro
Pls do more of this Jak- i mean Sheriff
This was a really good video, great concept! Would love to see more of this content :)
I hope This becomes a series ❤
Love this style of video! Super helpful to get your analysis on plays - please do more! 👌🏻😊
wow great vid content cowboy your doing awesome as ever!
Can't wait for episode two! I've got a clip that might be my most questionable play
We need more videos like this they’re so fun to watch
Loved this video! You should make this a series ❤
We need more videos like this
I loved this format. I gotta participate if there’s gonna be more of these!
Can't wait for more videos like this!!
Cool video idea, hope to see more
I just KNOW all of these "first time back cappers" are the ones always back capping when everyone else is having a team ray fight and were hoping the yeehaw cowboy would be on their side lol
What a great video. You should do much more of this. Thanks for the video. Thank you for helping the community get better. I know I had a terrible moment with you when I played blissey.I have now learned not to play it Anymore because i'm not good at it.
And on today's segment of Jake please tell me my back cap is smart.
This is an amazing idea! People can finally learn with their mistakes!
This was great! I hope you make more videos like this. Commenting for algorithm boost!
Thanks! Will do!
I don't think the last play was good.
It was 2:36 when the other Meowscarada used its ult. What does that mean? He won't have ult for rayquaza. This is a huge advantage since your team will have 5 unites, and the enemy team only 4. The problem is, OP used unite as well, so he won't have his unite either. It would have been a good play if he let himself get killed, since he would respawn in time for Rayquaza, and maybe even catch Meowscarada since he probably would have gone to score after killing the OP.
It was such a nice video Spragels! Fun and it's teaching newbies about good and bad plays 👏
Amazing concept
This was very interesting
Love this new format, definitely will help in my decision making
You should make this a series, great content
Ty for featuring me in the vid
I love this new series. Keep it up!
Thanks for the input. Yeehaw.
I'd like this series to extend to "why you didn't get MVP". I had 19 KOs, 0 deaths, 76K damage, scored 200+ most on the team on blastoise yesterday. I was at every objective, regis and ray and shotcalling and our absol with 35K damage with 6kos and 6 assists got the MVP. Defenders are the ubsung heroes of unite. It was a really fun game and a complete stomp but I'd really like to know why I didn't get MVP. It was the best game I've probably ever played on blastoise.
Oh also, I was 3 levels up in their whole team with like 3 min to go. Lv 13 vs lv 10. Teammates were like lv 11.
Another thing about this gengar clip 3:05 is that by scoring he avoided the gyarados ult which is huge
Confirmation bias is wild during back-caps... "see, it turned out fine!" Yeah, but winning the slot machine doesn't make it _not_ a risky gamble.
My hang up on risky late-game plays is: often, one person missing (due to KO timer) _can_ be enough to lose a Ray fight and lose the game... but the would-be success that that person died for will _not_ often be enough to turn the game in your favor. Very high risk in exchange for a not-so-high reward.
We see this all the time with people trying to push a tier 2 goal when there's 2:30 on the timer... it's very unlikely that they'll score, and even if they do, it's barely gonna be over 100 points (if the goal is even full). However it's _very_ likely that not everyone will survive fighting on an enemy goal (that respawning enemies can jump-pad to immediately) and if that makes most of our team go down, it's now also very likely the enemies will be able to rip Ray and score 200+ points. So we have a low chance to gain ~100 points, and a pretty decent chance of losing _multiples_ of that. That's an _awful_ exchange, but people attempt it all the time 🤦♂
im surprised we didnt get to see a crazy ray steal. i did one with mewtwos unite from base with no vision on ray (obviously pure luck on the timing, but sometimes forcing luck is all you can do). i wish i made a clip, that was hilarious.
I've just noticed that anime pokemon trainer Spragels doesn't have a moustache :(
Oh no…
Hell yeah, I'm in a spragels video. Yeehaw!
Yeehaw!
I'd probably say the last play wasn't ideal, In this case they managed to escape but if Aegislash caught up or they ran into an opposing Pokémon then no time would be left to build a Unite.
With 30 seconds there's likely enough time to respawn which keeps Unite for Ray and resets your timer giving you more presence at the objective.
Great commentary. Love these. Maybe they will learn back-capping is almost never the right call…one day.
More of this please
You should totally incorporate the thumbs up/down/sideways from coliseums for this!
Yee haw!
I had a game where I got Eleki with Tree but got KOd for it since the opposing team was there. I'm not sure if that would've been a good or bad play, I think it was walking to a tier 2 around 5 minutes. I was by myself which is why I'm not sure if it was a good play.
Great lesson here on back capping! Honestly, never been a fan of the play and hope we can all learn the consequences with such a play. My question now is: when is it ok to initiate a surrender vote? Being sarcastic ofc, but this is an actual thing that people need to learn…
If I had to rate them here’s how I would rate it.
1. Ok play but still very risky especially in a solo Q game. (0:25)
2. Def Bad play, I can understand what the glace is trying to do but this can go wrong is so many ways. (1:43)
3. I honestly don’t think that was a bad play. But yes could have gone better. (3:00)
4. This was mostly bad play on the enemy team, you don’t need two players to defend. (4:26)
5. Possibly the worst one I’ve seen, out of all of the rest of the vid, best to just go to the ray fight, like I can understand you have unite but your technically aiming for a steal, which it’s not always Guaranteed and could even put you in a worse position if the steal failed. (7:00)
6. This is more like a “panic” type situation. I myself sometimes do it, and I will say it’s not the best play. I would have just let him waste its unite but it’s an okay play. (8:59)
Oh boy, I want more, we want more justice!!
will there be more video like this
I was just thinking about how it would be great for you or ChrisHeroes to do something like this where you could give critiques to our battles.
Hoping you get a final hit on ray with a non secure move is always a bad play that rewards you with a bad behaviour that you will continue to depend on if it does work out
Part 2 when?
There was a match where I was actually evading my enemies with my Charizard, luring them in and KOd them. Funny part is, I killed the enemy Gengar when I was in a sliver of health while he got stunned. I regret not recording that moment. But the next time I see you, I hope I can show some awesome moments without plays like that. Hopefully, my Machamp can do it.
When I record, I get 29 fps. Never again.
How bad is your play, proceeds to show a guy getting a team wipe win. With the part the person claimed to have done bad not showing.
Cool series
How and where can we submit our clips?😊😊
This vid is incredible. Please continue this series. Maybe people will actually improve
OHHHHH. so back cappers arent thinking "this is the right thing to do right now". they think "this is the wrong thing to do but ill be fine because im so skilled". that makes so much more sense.
I dont backcap at ray. Sometimes its the right play. But people get too excited, id rather lose 1/15 games that backcapping required than risk the other 14/15 games that dont even risk it and just makes us lose because of it
Where to submit the videoes ?
Why are so many players trying to defend their backcap 🤣 do they genuinely believe it's the right play? Would explain why it happens so often
Is dragapult worth buying when you are in ultra rank?
Yes
Yeah it’s great
@@spragels thanks:)
New title lol
‘Pokémon unite has a disproportionate amount of delusional players’
Damn is there still ways to submit a play ?
Duro pero Justo señor justicia
Jake please do a tier list of the most troll movesets next monday
Fun idea
I loved this new trend
I think deep down they know back caping is bad, they just need validation. Alot of these players
Do a bad play then edge a 50/50 win and will justify it . Back capping to me is always a desperate play thats high risk low reward usually.
I like this series
Any held item build for sylveon, spragels?
Im not spragels, but it depends on moveset; heres solid builds for each:
Hypervoice: wise glasses, choice specs and cursed incense.
Mystical fire: muscle band, spoon & focus band/rapidfire scarf(my personal favourite)/resonant guard.
I highly recommend checking unite-db for builds, you will always get a build backed by maths from there, so if you are unsure of where you want to go with a build, theirs will always serve you well.
@@someone999555 thanks for telling me.
I would love to submit clips but I'm just *TOO* gosh darn good. Darn tootin. (i am not in fact too harsh darn good)
How do they get the score to display at the top?
Replay mode
For the last meowscarada He could have died and come back before ray with a unite. He was only lvl 13 so not that much exp given to the opponent
This video is basically, "I back capped to get MVP instead of helping my team. Please justify my terrible behaviour!" 😅
So many people thinking "making a good play" is trying to win or ko everyone by yourself 😅
But why did so many people back cap? :(
I only make good plays,my team mates are just bad at the game😇
We disagree on Scizor and now backcapping :/. If your holding 40-50 in a winning game and we k.od the attackers I'm all for back capping because if they try to get Ray we go for kills then take Ray assuming they don't surrender. I guess the alternative is the backcap was enough to gain the lead but I think it's best if a all rounder or maybe speedster does it as that's the only comebacks I've seen work when backcapping is involved.
Hi Jake . I'm your big fan. Please play with a "Pokemon unite climbing guide"
And then theres me over here who wished he had a video to prove it. But my entire team decided to gather on top path with me, then all got K.O.ed. Well, i had my zard unite ready for the teamfight, but Blastoise ended up stunning me before i could use it. I then proceeded to unite the Gengar in the middle, and 1v5 the entire team. One penta K.O. later and I'm on roughly 2% hp. Shot in the dark moment, guess i shocked the living crap out of them bad enough to be able to live through it 😂
Seriously ultra and vetra is very hard for me but i think it's easy for some people's and i'm bad at ultra.
Easy bro just pick a Pokemon which you can carry your team mates in solo q learn how to get every last hit wild Pokemon in lanes 🔥if u do this u will be in master in no time 👍
Im very confused, what's backcapping?
going to score alone while your team is dying at Rayquaza 4v5
Ty!
Jail them all.
Falinks is good and very balanced 👌. Unlike other pokemon on release.
The meowscarda play wasn't just bad, it was awful and selfish. Those are the kind of players who make you want to quit playing
I actually think the aegeslash play could have been a good one. He made the enemy team split up. I have done stuff like that and if the enemy team doesn't chase me I turn right back around
Yee haa
