  • In the wise words of Mr. Pokémon Challenges himself: "Should've played around the crit"
  • @chess
    how chaotic, i love it
  • Alpharad losing to someone else’s blind faith in luck is a truly ironic twist of fate.
  • Chess is a complicated game. Pokémon is a complicated game. And now they’re merged. Truly beautiful.

    Legit, the pure irony of Alpha, one of the infamously lucky gamers, losing to RNG against someone seemingly infamously unlucky in pokemon RNG, and losing to a crit sends joy through me.
  • @King0fKyles
    No one ever expects the bidoof gambit, truly one of the most formidable plays that few can play around
  • "Live long enough as the hero and see yourself become the villan" This is it guys The main character arc is over Alpha's rumbling arc begins
  • @Insullar
    I love that the most unlucky person in the tournament actually got lucky for once in his pokemon career.
  • Alpharad defeating Kidd in 2 moves by chaining 3 super effective moves and taking the king just to lose the finals match because the man that missed 5 will-o-wisps in a row in a pokémon tournament got a crit on the pawn that was protecting the king is just an absolute Pokémon chess moment
  • The story telling is so on point and the way Alpha drags us through the narrative for the conclusion is truly stunning. I laughed so hard at the end 10/10
  • @Blaybay123
    I think the last match illustrates Pokémon Chess really well You can get into the mind of your opponents and outplay them with a thought out strategy but that all means nothing in the eyes of a crit
  • This is definitely a video by Alpha. Never gets punished until the last second where his podium collapses underneath him.

    I audibly gasped when I saw the triple super effective move to win. Easily the best play out of the entire tournament.
