SMASH BROS TABOO

Video summary

Press to jump

0:00Players must describe five fighters in 15 seconds without names, special moves or franchise names.
1:13Successfully guessed characters become the team's Squad Strike line-up.
2:37The next clue round brings Corrin, Yoshi and Pac-Man into the guessing game.
7:38Further rounds include a match on a Minecraft-themed stage as Blue Team attempts a comeback.
17:11Zack compares Duck Hunt to a slow cooker, feeding a running joke in the comments.

Knowing the fighter is only half the problem. In "SMASH BROS TABOO", Underdogs Gaming has to describe characters without saying their names, special moves or franchises, then take the successfully guessed fighters into Squad Strike.

The clue-givers get just 15 seconds. That makes hesitation a genuine gameplay problem, and viewers have picked up on the gap between announcing they are ready and immediately stumbling over their words. The description credits the familiar quartet: Zack (Little Z), Peter (HopCat), Jordan (Poppt1) and Jackson (Director Cogger).

Taboo was the most-watched of the week's three uploads, reaching about 54,000 views. It also supplied another candidate for the group's running character mythology: Zack's description of Duck Hunt as a slow cooker has viewers requesting a "Crockpot Duck Hunt" appearance in a future meme tournament.

"Returning To Wii Sports Resort..." supplied the Nintendo nostalgia, while "UNDERDOGS TRIVIA RACE" arrived later and is currently attracting the most daily views. October's "SMASH BROS CODE NAMES BUT IT'S 5V5" is also keeping the word-game-and-Smash combination in circulation.

The subscriber count stayed unchanged, and daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among similarly sized variety-gaming channels, DeliciousJames had a busier viewing week, while VVolf was quieter. For Underdogs Gaming, the distinctive thread is the extra game before the fighting: choosing a squad now depends on getting the words out.

What viewers say

It's so funny them saying that they're ready to give the hints and then immediately spending half the time stuttering and saying "uh" and "umm"

Dang the frame one Piranha Plant zoom has been replaced by the frame one Toon Link zoom in a lot recently. Not complaining tho. Underdogs Squad Strike rulesets are also a good time
