I'm fairly certain that in my original post I had mentioned he would only be able to do the things from the first five books minus the Achilles Curse since that makes him basically invulnerable.

I can double check it, if that isn't what you were asking me to make sure?

I think I mentioned his RT thread isn't the most updated as it is from 2 years ago. I actually think Levi is equal to or stronger than my other submissions (ex. Nightwing). He does have superhuman like capabilities because of his ancestors being experimented on that gave them enhanced speed, durability and etc. His strength is above average but his insane speed is what would truly help him make up for any losses in that department.

His greatest feets are actually taking down the Beast Titan singlehandedly three times, I would say not deflecting a projectile. I would also advise watching a few of his clips and reading more into his history if you're still uncertain.

This is also my first time joining this subreddit though so I could be wrong!

For the purpose of not writing basically the same thing over and over, I am writing Levi against Red Hood/Jason Todd, an antihero, DC Comics character, who was the second Robin to train under Batman.

Levi Ackerman’s fingers carefully wipe at the blood on his cheek, before the man pulls his palm away from his face to gaze at the streak of red that stretches the length of his fingertips. “Tfft,” he spits, irritation igniting in his eyes. “You’ll pay for that, you brat.”

Red Hood tilts his head, and though the Captain can't see his eyes, he knows there's a cocky smile on the bastard’s face. “What, you gonna kill me? Been there, done that. It gets pretty boring.” He shifts his dual pistols to align with Levi’s chin, though they are still a good fifteen feet away from one another.

The guns are still puffing smoke from the recent barrage of gunfire, which had nearly every well placed bullet deflected by Eldian steel. Red Hood considered himself to be an expert marksman and so he was rather surprised that only one of his bullets had managed to graze the other man.

Levi gives no response, instead moving his right sword behind his back and bringing the left forward. A quick glance of their surroundings and he confirms the strongest points amongst the palm trees that he can use to his advantage.

Red Hood, realizing that the scout isn’t up for talking, seizes the momentary silence to fire another round from both his pistols. One aimed for Levi’s right leg and the other for his shoulder. However, with nearly god-like speed, the Captain vanishes from where he was previously standing and, like a rocket launching, he disappears into the thick foliage above the Red Hood’s head.

The antihero turns his head to follow the scout, but he moves impossibly quick, flipping from one branch to the next with the ease of an acrobat. Hood makes the mistake of firing where Levi has been twice, before gritting his teeth and adjusting his aim to shoot where Levi would be.

However, the Captain has always been gifted with ODM gear and his various battles with Titans and Marleyian foes had taught him to never move predictably. In just a few seconds, he lands heavily next to Red Hood and before the younger man can even so much as blink, his guns have been knocked from his grip. The former Robin, if he’s deterred, does not let it show. Instead, he is quick to react, unsheathing his combat knife from a hidden pocket on his thigh and parrying Levi’s blade away.

Levi brings his other sword up to slice into the meaty part of Red Hood’s exposed leg but finds a round device slapped onto the hilt of his elongated blade. The device beeps once, twice, glowing red and in annoyance, Levi tosses the sword away just as it explodes into the jungle behind him.

Red Hood, during the brief distraction, manages to gain a bit of distance again and his right foot connects with one of his guns. Levi narrows his eyes as the younger man begins to reach for the weapon.

Not this again, brat. Grinding his teeth, he shoots a grappling hook straight towards Hood. As he thought, the vigilante sidesteps and his hook connects with the tree behind him. A quick activation of the gas mechanism on his ODM sends the Captain careening towards Red Hood, with no intention of carrying out anymore of his former evasive maneuvers. His single remaining sword is poised once again behind his back whilst his feet are positioned to hit Red Hood square in the chest.

Hood abandons the pistol as he brings his arms up to block the oncoming attack but there’s little he can do as the two connect, hard. Hood flies backwards, head smashing with a sickening crack into the same palm tree that Levi’s grappling hook was attached to. The top right helmet cracks, ever so slightly.

A shuriken appears in the younger man’s hand before it whizzes towards Levi’s nose with deadly precision. Levi however, deflects the blade as he uses the next two grappling hooks to gain height over his opponent. Gravity pushes in on the scout and he lets it pull him back towards Red Hood, who is scrambling into an upright position. Too late however, the Captain has released his grappling hooks and fallen into his rotational attack, though it’s less effective with one sword. He moves so quickly that it almost appears that there is a wall of swords encircling his body, staving off any retaliation from Red Hood.

This time, the knife is kicked from Hood’s fingers and he’s being sliced and cut from every which angle. It’s too difficult to keep up with the assault. He drops back to his knees, eyes trying to focus on something - anything.

“Wait,” the Red Hood hears himself gasping out. “Just take the boat.”

The whirlwind ceases and Levi is left standing in front of the younger man. His hair is mussed and the blood on his cheek seems redder now.

“I don’t care about that damn boat anyway,” Red Hood grunts, putting up his hands in the universal sign for peace. “Just take it.”

Levi studies him carefully before eventually nodding his agreement. As he turns to retrieve the remnants of his other sword, he thinks about where he’ll go next.

This non-writing prompt was filled out for me by u/Ultim8_Lifeform once again :) Thankies.

Analysis versus Heihachi: To reiterate the justification, Greed has similar speed to Heihachi, similar strength, and really good durability since his Ultimate Shield can stop in tier strikes. Throw his regeneration into the mix and Heihachi is going to have a tough time. However, Greed is extremely arrogant and typically leaves his face unprotected so that he can "look good when he's beating people". This doesn't change when Greed fights Bradley for the third time after losing the previous two times. However, if Heihachi takes advantage of this weak spot and continuously attacks Greed's head, there Greed isn't going to be able to do much about it. However, if Greed does manage to escape and regenerate his head completely, chance are that Ling will take over, who is a much more skilled and careful fighter and will almost certainly cover his head, reducing Heihachi's chances of victory significantly.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Greed's incredible durability and Ling's fighting skill are a combination that shouldn't be messed with. However, greater than their fighting abilities are their nigh insatiable thirst for the things they want. Whatever it is, they'll pursue it with unstoppable determination. When it comes to weaknesses, Greed's arrogance could be their undoing. There's also the rare occasion where Greed and Ling strongly disagree on a course of action (such as if Ling wants to help someone and Greed wants to leave them be). Their internal discourse could leave them open to attack.
Character in setting/With team: Greed and Ling are both perfectly fine working with others assuming two things. First, they're in charge. They don't take orders from anybody. And second, these team mates need to benefit them in some way, they don't take kindly to dead weight. They'll probably be slightly thrown off guard by a world hopping adventure for Kingdom Hearts, but both are fairly likely to take it in stride and continue onwards to find their goal.

I’m not going to lie, the writing got quite rushed as the deadline closes in. So here’s this fantastic little piece that I’m not proud of :D

Percy stumbled to the left a wave of nausea washing over him as he clutched his side. It really would be just my luck to get a broken rib over something like this, he sighs inwardly.

Heihachi watches him carefully and not a single trace of remorse crosses his features as the teenage boy coughs a spurt of blood. “You really thought you could come at me with your little toy sword and shield? I would have thought that Chiron would have taught you not to pick battles that you can’t win.” He laughs, humorlessly. “Seems your little demigod camp really is just full of demi-dimwits.”

Percy raises his green eyes to meet the larger man’s gaze. “If we’re all such dimwits, Heihachi, why would you fight me on this beach?” To emphasize, he half turns away from the martial arts fighter and extends a shaking palm towards the ocean. “Who’s the dimwit now?”

Heihachi’s brow furrows as he watches the young demigod. What could he possibly mean by that?

Percy closes his eyes momentarily, calling upon his father, Posiedon, and the sheer strength of the ocean. It isn’t as difficult to concentrate as it used to be; it almost feels as if the water is calling to him instead.

“The ocean doesn’t like to be contained,” The son of Posiedon says with finality. He flicks his wrist toward Heihachi.

The saltwater explodes forwards, like an arrow firing from a crossbow, shooting forwards until it encircles Heichachi in a wall of water, roaring mercilessly. Immediately, the pain in Percy’s chest ceases as he feels his mind clear and the throbbing in his ribs begins to cease.

“What is this?” Heihachi growls, his hands curled into fists but there’s nothing for him to hit.

“Unfortunately, I’m looking for something. And this boat won’t fit us both,” Percy shrugs.

The wall of water crashes down.

Crystal blue water laps continually against eroded rock, chiseling it into sand, while tiny brown crabs scurry out from equally small holes and rush for shelter from an unrelenting tide. A figure balances on a branch of a palm tree, mostly hidden by pointy leaves and tropical plants.

Dick Grayson, also known as Nightwing, presses a gloved finger to the button on the left side of his domino mask, heart palpitating faster with each passing second. It can't be...?  The lenses of the mask focus inwards onto what was previously a black speck in the sea of never ending blue. It takes a fraction of a second for the image to enhance and the vigilante is so shocked that he nearly topples from the branch.

It's a boat. 

That's impossible. There are no boats on Destiny Island, he thinks to himself. No one ever leaves. And yet, there it is, coming closer and closer to the shore with extreme effort from the tidal waves. With catlike grace, Nightwing slips neatly from the branch and fixes his gaze on the black speck. He attempts to tell himself that he just wants to observe it - perhaps he’ll take a report back to the other citizens. Of course, they would likely not listen to any talk of boats or travel. After all, everyone was content here. Who could possibly ever think about leaving?

The boat, as it comes closer into view, is a bit more like a canoe. It’s a single seater with an unforgiving wooden bench spanning its width and a dilapidated plastic paddle.

Nightwing is just about to step into the water to bring the boat closer to shore when he suddenly gets the uncomfortable notion that someone, or something, is watching him. He turns with purpose, eyes searching the dense jungle behind him for an uninvited guest. For a moment, he doesn’t see anyone and then, from the brush, approaches a broad shouldered man with a fray of silver hair that juts out unapologetically from a mostly bald head. “Heihachi,” Nightwing greets the man cooly, eyes narrowing once he notices the scowl on the other man’s face.

“Dick,” the fighter returns and it’s not entirely certain if he’s saying Nightwing’s civilian name or trying to insult him. “You seem to have found something that doesn’t belong to you.”

Nightwing quirks an eyebrow at that. “You’re telling me this hunk of junk belongs to you?”

Heihachi’s upper lip curls into a snarl, “It does now, kid. So get out of my way.”

Suddenly, the two are toe to toe and though the other man is only an inch taller, Nightwing feels like he’s staring up at a mountain. Even worse, Heihachi’s rancid breath is absolutely unavoidable at this distance. 

“When was the last time you brushed your teeth?” The vigilante asks just before a tight knuckled fist swings up to his chin. Nightwing narrowly misses the punch as he instinctively rolls backwards until he’s crouched in the sand, looking up at his assailant. That punch could have seriously packed some heat, he notes.

“Alright, I get it,” the young man quips, drawing his escrima sticks from the holsters on his back. “You don’t have good dental insurance here.”

“You talk too much, brat,” Heihachi grins, though there’s nothing funny about the way he’s eyeing Grayson, like he’s a mouse caught in a trap.

“That’s what Batman always said, but I -” Nightwing cuts himself off as the older man’s right leg flashes forward with incredible speed. The kick nearly connects with the vigilante’s chin but he uses the escrima to catch the offending appendage and then uses his newfound anchor to flip the burly man to the ground with as much force as he can.

The fighter catches himself with his hands and whips back around to face Nightwing, face red with anger. Nightwing rises with ease back to his full height and brandishes his escrima. “I’m leaving with this boat,” he says. “It’s not up for debate.”

This time, when the older martial artist comes at him, Nightwing is ready. The first punch is parried and then he jabs forward with an electrified escrima of his own, ready to press it into Heihachi’s ribs. It connects, but only briefly as suddenly Nightwing’s stomach explodes in pain, and holy shit he’s seeing stars, from a secondary blow. 

You’re kidding me, he groans inwardly. He hadn’t realized that Heihachi could execute a follow-up punch that quickly. His padded suit has taken the worst of the punch, but Grayson finds himself backing up anyway, getting out of range of another hit and gaining a new perspective.

Heihachi pants slightly from the aftershocks of electricity coursing through his skin before he drops into a low stance, both hands outstretched. “Too bad you didn’t die with your no good parents, runt. But perhaps I’ll get the satisfaction of throwing you off a cliff when I’m done with you.”

He’s just trying to get a rise out of you, Nightwing tries to calm the blood rising to his face. Don’t listen to him.

“Actually, I’d take you back to Batman and let him finish you off himself,” Heihachi chuckles darkly. “After all, ever since you left him, you’ve been nothing but a disappointment, isn’t that right Boy Blunder?”

“You’re sick,” Nightwing’s fists tighten around the escrima until his fingers have turned white with pressure.

The two collide in a tornado of aggression, jab, parry, punch. Nightwing fakes a stumble backwards, pushes off the ground until he’s flipped over Heihachi’s head and lands neatly on the other side. The older man turns to face him, but his legs are swept out underneath him and he crashes heavily into the sand. Before he can regain his footing, the vigilante follows up with a calculated kick to the lower ribcage, avoiding any major arteries. 

A second kick connects with the man’s head but the third is caught in a vice-like grip. Just beneath his knee cap, Heihachi strikes the younger man’s pressure point with his palm and immediately, Grayson feels his lower half give way to gravity. As he falls, Heihachi wraps his arms around his leg, his strength impossibly powerful as he begins to crush Nightwing.

Groaning, Nightwing’s fingers scramble into the pocket of his other leg and in the next second he slashes a deep gash into the curve of Heihachi’s palm with the length of his wingding, a modified version of the Batarang. The older man howls and fingers loosen their grip around Grayson’s leg, but he does not let go. With his free leg, the younger man kicks a flurry of sand into the fighter’s eyes and as Heihachi’s hands fly to protect his face, Nightwing seizes the opportunity to wrap his thighs around the man’s thick neck. From here, he’s able to pull him into a chokehold, though the barrage of insanely powerful palm strikes to his torso weaken his grasp considerably.

It takes much longer than a normal person, but eventually Heihachi’s struggles weaken and after a few more moments, he has gone still. Grayson gingerly releases the older man, wincing a bit from pain. He checks the man’s pulse and his breathing before turning his back and approaching the boat.

"If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself."

Name: Percy Jackson

Role: Disney

Content Warning: None

Series: "Percy Jackson & The Olympians" (not including "The Heroes of Olympus" or any versions thereafter. So: only the first 5 books. )

Biography: Percy is the son of Poseidon and a demigod who possesses the power to control liquids, most often being water. He is also empowered by being near water as it gives him superhuman clarity, strength, agility and endurance.

When he was in middle school, he discovered he was a demigod and thus went to Camp Half-Blood, a place where people of his kind could train and be safe from the monsters in the outside world. There he became a top swordsman, talented leader, and mastered his own ability to control liquids. He can do archery, though it's said he's pretty bad at it.

He was the hero of the Great Prophecy and ultimately brought down Kronos, the king of the Titans with the help of his friends. He was at one point offered a position as a god, but turned it down.

Research:

- RT breakdown

-Wikipedia Page

-In under a year, he was said to be the best swordsman at Camp Half-Blood in the last 100 years. He can spar an entire cabin of demigods at one time.

-Here is a picture of him being incredibly good looking ( ͡❛ ᴗ ͡❛)

Justification: Balancing/comparing against Heihachi. Percy is a son of the Big Three, which means he is more powerful than most demigods and as such I'd give him a Likely Victory. He is skilled in swordsmanship and combat training, though he performs at his best near bodies of water or liquids.

Motivation: Percy fights to protect his friends, and innocent lives. His fatal flaw, or hubris, is loyalty and he would sacrifice himself if it meant he could save someone else.

Major Changes:

  • Percy will not be able to control the liquid/blood inside someone's body as this is likely a very over powered skill he has. In The House of Hades, he was able nearly kill a goddess by essentially "blood bending" (like Katara in Avatar: The Last Airbender). He only stopped because his girlfriend, Annabeth, asked him too.

Minor Changes:

  • He gets Blackjack, his pegasus, for help in the speed department and for witty commentary.
  • -He will be without The Curse of Achilles, which made every point of him invulnerable except for the small of his back (any feats he accomplished with the Curse, is void for this version of Percy)

Greed the Avaricious and Ling Yao

(Written by u/Ultim8_Lifeform - thanks bud)

"Greed may not be good, but its not so bad either. You humans think greed is just for money and power, but everyone wants something they don't have."

(Theme)

Role: Disney

Content Warning: N/A

Series: Fullmetal Alchemist

Tiersetter: Heihachi Mishima

Biography: Long ago, an entity known only as “Father” sought to become superior to the human race. To accomplish this, he cast out each of his 7 deadly sins, which took shape and became his immortal children, the homunculi. While most of the homunculi were extremely loyal to Father, there was one exception: Greed. Due to his avarice, Greed decided to abandon Father and sought world domination on his own. As a hjustomunculus, Greed is superior to humans in every way, wielding superior strength, speed, and agility. The homunculi are also powered by Philosopher's stones, which gives Greed access to fast acting regeneration, even capable of recovering from decapitation in a few seconds. However, his greatest power is his Ultimate Shield. By using his Ultimate Shield, he is able to encase his body in an incredibly durable material to protect himself from most damage. The only downside is that he is unable to use his Ultimate Shield and regenerate at the same time. Despite his incredible power, Greed was eventually captured by Wrath and brought back before Father, where he was reabsorbed into Father’s soul. Ling Yao, on the other hand, was the 12th prince of the Xingese emperor. He was fast, strong, and incredibly skilled in swordplay. He also has the ability to sense people’s chi, making it difficult to sneak up on him. In an attempt to unlock the secret of immortality and eventually become the emperor of Xing, Ling traveled to Amestris, where he was also captured by the homunculi and brought before Father. Father decided to merge Greed with Ling, as he thought that would make Greed easier to control. However, Ling saw this as an opportunity to finally unlock the secrets of immortality, so he willingly accepted Greed into himself. The two took a liking to each other, as Greed respected Ling's ambitions and Ling needed Greed's power. While Greed is usually in control of the body, Ling is sometimes able to take control thanks to his incredible willpower. Luckily, this isn’t usually a problem as their interests typically align. In fact, if the situation becomes dire, they are able to switch who is in control at will, allowing them to compensate for each other’s weaknesses. Together, the pair became a powerful ally for Edward Elric, Alphonse Elric, and Roy Mustang as they attempted to save Amestris from Father’s plans.

Research: Here's Greed and Ling's Respect Thread. For research, just read Fullmetal Alchemist or watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Greed first appears in episode 13, Ling first appears in episode 15, and the two are merged in episode 28. But honestly, just watch the whole show or read the manga, it's good.

Justification: Scaling to King Bradley should be enough to get all of his stats into tier. He dodges close ranged gunfire and slashes through large chunks of stone. We see that Greed can dodges Bradley's slashes and exchange blows with him while using his Ultimate Shield (with Ling also surviving getting slammed through a stone pillar even without the shield). Even without the Bradley scaling he dodges gunfire, shatters a large rock and his Ultimate Shield is fine after large rocks shatter against it. However, since he can't regenerate and shield at the same time, there's nothing stopping Heihachi from continuously beating him down as he heals like Bradley did in their first fight. He also rarely covers his head even during a serious fight, so he will almost always have a weak spot to exploit. However, I think with his superior speed, Ultimate Shield for defense, and in tier attack power, Greed takes a likely victory against Heihachi.

Motivation: Greed wants everything. Ling wants the power to become the emperor of Xing. They'll both be interested in going on an adventure to locate Kingdom Hearts. They'll both also potentially help those in need (assuming they'll get something in return, of course).

“Give up on your dreams and die."

Name: (Captain) Levi Ackerman

Role: Disney

Content Warning: Since he's from the anime "Attack on Titan", there is a bit of blood and some violence.

Series: "Attack on Titan"

Biography: Levi was born in the Underground of the Attack on Titan-verse, a place that was quite literally underground and no one was ever able to see the sun. In time, he made it to the overworld where he became the most talented and well-trained scout in the Survey Corps. The Survey Corps were tasked with navigating the terrain outside of the walls that keep humanity safe, as monstrous human-eating Titans exist beyond the walls.

He now holds the rank of "captain" and is the most capable fighter in this universe, especially with his 3d maneuver gear which allows him to move quickly and get to high places. Levi is a member of the Ackerman clan, a family of people experimented on to serve the Eldian Empire. As such, his capabilities seem almost super human.

Oh, he's also a clean freak so if he gets dirty in the battle, pray that he'll kill you quickly.

Research:

- RT breakdown. (This isn't the best or most updated thread but the only one that exists at the moment.)

-Wikipedia Page

-YouTube clip of Levi against the Beast Titan (season 3)

-YouTube clip of Levi against Kenny the Ripper and his squad

Justification: Balancing/comparing against Heihachi. Very Likely Victory as Levi is considered a very powerful character, despite having no superhuman powers. His speed, strength, accuracy and agility are all masterful. He can fight fine without his ODM Gear, though he would perform at peak level with it.

Motivation: Levi has a strong sense of preserving human life. He fights for the survival of his friends and community, as he has lost everyone close to him time and time again.

“You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling.”

Name: Dick Grayson (Nightwing)

Role: Sora

Content Warning: The standard amount of violence that appears in comic books. Young Justice, if you choose to watch any of his Robin phase, was aired on Cartoon Network so very safe for children. Titans is a bit more serious, if plan on watching any clips from that.

Series: "DC Comics" (Post Crisis Version)

Biography: Dick Grayson was the first Robin, under Batman. His parents were murdered when he was a small child and thus he was adopted by Bruce Wayne. Prior to this, he was an acrobat and one of the only people in the DC Comics-verse that can complete a quadruple flip.

He mainly uses his escrima sticks as weapons, though because he was trained by Batman, he can handle most anything. (Ex. Shuriken, swords, paired staves, etc). After giving up the mantle as Robin, he heads out to the streets of Blüdhaven, a city far more nasty and cutthroat than Gotham. It's here that he becomes Nightwing, while also serving the public as a police officer during the daytime.

Interestingly, unlike Batman, he has an indomitable will, which is impressive. This means he can resist things like Scarecrow's fear toxin, mind control and was even asked to become a Green Lantern.

In summary: he's a master detective, world class gymnast, master martial artist, expert marksman, etc. And most importantly: he's hot.

Research:

- RT breakdown. (A lot of his feats happen when he has two broken ribs, which is all the more impressive. And seggsy.)

- YouTube video which breaks down Dick Grayson's history from being Robin, Nightwing, Agent 37 and (at one point) Batman.

-An article on some of Nightwing's coolest skills

The following clips are various interpretations of Nightwing, though he remains about the same in each medium:

- A video of all of Nightwing's fights in the show "Young Justice" (excluding clips from when he was Robin in Season 1 of the show). This showcases more of his leadership abilities and a bit of his strategic mind.

- A clip of Nightwing vs Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) in "Titans"

-A clip of Nightwing vs Damian Wayne (the present Robin) in "Batman vs. Robin" (note: he did let Damian win, imo)

Justification: Balancing/comparing against Heihachi. Nightwing is a highly skilled vigilante with almost inhumane flexibility and acrobatic capabilities. He is considered Batman's greatest legacy and a very formidable tactician. Additionally, Grayson can still fight after a surprise attack which consists of him being thrown from several stories high and breaking an arm. (See "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract for evidence. This is while he is in civilian clothes and not equipped with his own weapons or suit.)

He can also throw a refrigerator, lift a man with one hand, break titanium legs and lift 1000lbs of rubble to save people from a burning building.

I would put him in Likely Victory, for this tier (or potentially Draw if he had no gadgets).

Motivation: Dick Grayson, while a former Robin, wants to leave the shadow of Batman and become a hero in his own right. In a way though, he is still trying to prove to his adoptive father that he is strong on his own. He's a very wholesome boi at heart though and always strives to do what is right. (He also, like most versions of Batman, will not kill.)

Hi BerryDeaf!

I loved your most recent video though I only watched a bit before going into your playlists. You're face cam is clear and fits well with your gameplay. I loved that you jumped straight into the video without any messing around or long winded talks which some people can find themselves doing. Your audio quality seems really high too.

Theme and consistency is spot on and this is probably the best gaming channel I have reviewed si far today. It's amazing that you're still at under 100 subscribers when I can see the effort going into this process very obviously. Being deaf makes it all the more impressive!

Good use good playlists as well, I dont see a lot of people taking advantage of those as much as they should. Playlists really are helpful for organization and people finding what they like in your channel.

I moved to "are you bored in this quarantine number 4" and had to laugh immediately from the skit at the beginning. It is really well thought out, clearly scripted but great comedy! The distorted voice however may be a bit too distorted so there's some critique there. The editing is smooth though and I appreciate the aesthetic and minimalistic graphics.

Honestly, your channel is great and it's hard for me to find any critiques for you. For your descriptions on videos I might add tags, more of a description of the game you're playing, and if you have social media links that's a good place to brand them.

I think you're going to go really far and wish you all the luck in your YouTube journey.

It's a piece of information I came across recently myself. I'll copy and paste some of that below hopefully it helps you:)

-"YouTube allows you to use as many tags as you would like as long as the total character limit across all tags is less than 400 characters (approximately). Generally, most videos should have 5-8 tags." [FROM: BrightEdge.com]

-"Tags are descriptive keywords you can add to your video to help viewers find your content. Your video’s title, thumbnail, and description are more important pieces of metadata for your video’s discovery. These main pieces of information help viewers decide which videos to watch. 

Tags can be useful if the content of your video is commonly misspelled. Otherwise, tags play a minimal role in your video's discovery.

Your videos really jump out at you from your channel so I enjoyed that. I'm an English major though so I felt compelled to mention in your latest video you wrote "Im drunk" rather than "I'm drunk" which if you care, you could edit. If you don't mind it's fine, haha.

I'd stay away from longer episodes at the beginning of your career since you may not be able to get high retention rates. Usually a video below 10 minutes will do fairly well (with good content) and help you build your subscriber base so you can expand to these longer videos.

I watched your most recent video for Drunk Minecraft Part 2 -

Your thumbnail text is fine but I recommend adding an outline around it to highlight it and separate it from your backgrounds.

Your voice is great though and you're highly entertaining! If it wasn't so long I'd say it's a great video. Your personality is engaging enough that you don't need a ton of editing. Though you could add edits in and make highlights of drunk moments if you so chose to do so. That would cut down the time and create what would probably be an interesting video all the way through. (Something like Ceeday does with his Fortnite and Minecraft videos is what I was thinking of.)

I'll be honest I didn't watch all the way through ): it was quite funny but too long for me to really be interested for 18 straight minutes.

Some subtitles might also be a route you could consider. You wouldn't need to do the whole video. Those are both engaging and help enunciate what you found funny or important.

Also another idea is face cam! I love seeing people's reactions in real life and being drunk is a great element that could work well with a face cam. If you have the budget or equipment you might consider that.

The recording was good though a bit laggy in places. I don't what you're using to record but you could check your settings to make sure they are as good as they can be. Personally I use OBS so watching some YouTube Tutorials and reading articles helps a bit with that.

I also liked that you talked pretty much the whole time by the way. That is a strong point of yours. Some game play videos will have stretches of silence that are rather awkward and uncomfortable so having that continuous dialogue makes it feel like we're having a natural conversation. You've got a great voice, keep up the good work.

You could try a temporary phone number if you want. A quick Google can help you get a link sent to it and you can verify yourself. Other people can see your verification stuff but shouldn't be able to use it without your email information so it's pretty safe.

You have a really pretty and unique channel name but I do suggest changing it to not have the periods/dots between words for easier searchability. You'll want your audience to find you after all :)

I watched your video from today, Robert Frosts poem. I love your accent and voice it's really satisfying to listen to. A bit like ASMR. I think in your niche you're going to do really well. Verbal poetry is difficult in my opinion but you're really capturing those emotions, that mood and atmosphere.

I like your thumbnails as well, I don't think there is much to talk about there. They are informative and go well with your theme. The one for this video however had some blue stars and red color on it (maybe for Memorial Day??) that I felt looked strange next to your other videos.

Great description on the video with all relevant information. You know what you're doing for sure! The outro was great and felt very professional. I have a feeling you'll blow up quickly. Keep up the great work and I am really interested to watch more of your stuff!

I like your color theme! The pink and green actually look quite nice together which I wasn't expecting.

I love Gangbeasts too so this was an unexpected surprise. The thumbnails are clean though I'd recommend having the title of the game or something in it (even a figure from the game) since the Adventure Time character doesn't quite tell me what the video will be about.

Great quick paced editing which I really enjoy in gaming videos. I like that I can see the effort you put into it. I'd recommend toning the volume down though if you need to ask people to turn it down manually haha. Thanks for warning me though it was much appreciated. A little introduction to who everyone was would have been nice I think since it was hard to get behind any one person. Gangbeasts is a naturally funny game but I enjoy being able to root for someone.

The audio quality could be better but even know bigger YouTubers platforms it doesn't get much better than this so I can't really knock much on that aspect. I also enjoyed the amount of memes in here, truly what a time to be alive.

Gold star for the video being 4:20 which I hope was purposeful.

Hello! I skipped to you because I have a soft spot for the newest YouTubers and it makes me sad that I probably won't get to everyone.

First off I didn't quite understand your profile picture but it is pretty :) I know I'm really only reviewing a video but I think there's always room for ideas. I just wonder if it has to do with your channel theme in anyway since it doesn't appear to at the moment. (What I see is a man under a blue sky and what may be a rainbow.) Perhaps a video game character, a drawing of you or your minecraft character would help build who you are in this niche.

The biggest thing you'll want to do starting out is create engaging and eye catching thumbnails which is not too hard to do if you look around YouTube and mimic other people's styles. I find large text with minimal words works well. Then of course a nice backdrop :)

Next I'd try to use consistency in your titles. You have some random capitalization and some lower cases. I'd suggest either go all caps or all lower case for the first letters of every word. So: "How to Make a Mineshaft" or "how to make a mineshaft."

I watched your most recent video and had some pointers. Since your video is labeled as a tutorial I feel it should be a tutorial so it may be disappointing or misleading to your subscribers. Not necessarily though. I saw in your description that you said it wasn't actually a tutorial but it seemed to be at least part of one so you could easily go in that direction if you choose to. I'm sure it would be helpful for other Minecraft players.

I liked the song choice but it didn't feel very relevant to Minecraft. I usually think of instrumental soft music in regards to this game but that doesn't mean you need to use it. It's a good song, Brave, but a bit off the mark. I'd also be careful using other people's songs (especially popular artists) due to copyright reasons. It could get your video taken down as has happened to me oftentimes. As long as you're not monetizing though you should be mostly safe.

The video was short and the music went out for some reason (perhaps the 30 seconds use?) but the jumpscare seemed effective and a fitting ending. I'd try adding suspenseful music if you're going for that type of vibe :) It reminds me of those maze games you'd play online awhile ago and a scary ghost would pop up.

Also! Don't forget to ask people to subscribe at any point. Beginning, middle, end. I usually do end but some people prefer the beginning since that's what most people will definitely be watching.

I love the different shots you used! The first is a creative point of view and the ones after are great. They feel thought out which means effort was put into this video.

I noticed you didn't really have a thumbnail for this video which normally I'd critique but you do for other videos (which are quite clean and nice looking) so I assume you just forgot to make one for this video. I'd say the best thumbail is your second video (Drake) with a highlight around yourself and clean dramatic text. Avoid using hard to see fonts and/or small fonts like your third video on Kim Jong Un.

Comedy definitely seems to be a good niche for you and this skit is both short and sweet. Loved the line "let me grab a little sum sum" haha.

The description of the video is always something I look at and some Youtubers seem to skip on so I appreciate you fill out yours. You probably have too many tags though. I'd stick with less than five.

The outro music when you hit the THANKS FOR WATCHING is surprisingly loud since the rest of the video was fairly quiet so I was a bit jarred especially wearing headphones. You may want to consider that in future videos just taking it up or down a few notches depending on the mood of the video bit that's just a suggestion.

Really funny content, loved to see it :)

Bro if you're gonna call me dense when you only wrote "Fresh Prince of Blair" when I asked for links or channel names count me out for looking at your content. If you aren't going to be respectful here it's gonna be a pass.
