MatPat......

Holy fuck, I can’t believe I forgot probably the most crucial part of MatPat’s flaws in his theories. Alright, so there is an entire TV tropes article that pretty much covers the biggest mistakes in MatPat’s theories, mainly the ones that have the biggest holes. It ranges from TF2 Vs. Overwatch, FNAF, Sans is Ness, and many more that covers what is wrong about all of these theories and what doesn’t make them stand up: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/CriticalResearchFailure/GameTheoryWebShow

You also forgot about his infamous comment about Iwata being the king of Nintendo all the way up to 2018.

This was before he died back in 2014.

What comment? On what platform or video?

What comment? On what platform or video?

In one of his Earthbound videos. I don't remember which one? But I think TV Tromps may have it in their database.

I'll find the comment and video. Just hold up friend?

If any of you don't want to scroll through the entire page in order to understand why MatPat is full of shit, I feel like this should give you all you need to know

• Austin cites popularity polls to support that the Charmander/Charizard evolutionary family is better-appreciated and preferred than the other starters. He forgets several major things:
  • He samples his Twitter followers over which starter they prefer. Problem is, he fails to account for the possibility that they could have voted for the Charmander family for reasons having nothing to do with the Pokémon itself, such as wanting Austin himself to win or Matt to lose.
  • Austin also cites an official Nintendo Pokémon popularity poll, without noticing that the poll only accounted for Japanese fans, and not Western fans, who have demonstrated various preference dissonances that warrant entire tropes for themselves in the past.
  • The most critical hole in the argument? Pikachu ranked above Charmander in that popularity poll. Pikachu is also a fellow Generation 1 starter Pokémon.
• Conversely, Matt tries to fire back (no pun intended) with his own citations.
  • He says that since two Pokémon developers, Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori, didn't pick the Charmander family as a starter, Charmander must be more unfavourable to the Pokémon devs. Unfortunately, two people is a very pitifully small sample out of all of them.
• Matt claims that Ember, the Charmander's first fire attack is learned at level 38. This is very very wrong. It's learned at level nine. It's Flamethrower that is learned at level 38.
• Austin then says that Charizard flying around is more impressive than surfing. The issue is, you can only fly to settlements you have visited, no more no less. Meanwhile, Surf lets you traverse water barriers, and is utterly mandatory because the game throws such barriers at you. To nail its coffin, there are MUCH faster ways to get a flying Pokémon (e.g. a mere Pidgey).
  • The worst part? Charizard can't fly in any Gen 1 game except Pokémon Yellow.
• Type weaknesses are also brought up, but Austin forgets that Charizard takes quadruple Rock damage... due to its dual typing.
• Matt claims that a player going through Mount Moon would have to fight "endless waves of Geodudes", hence using the Squirtle family's type effectiveness against Ground types. Unfortunately, Zubats are far more common there, and they are dual poison and flying types.
• Austin interprets the Gen 3 remake of Pokémon Blue being titled Pokémon LeafGreen as Blastoise falling out of favour with the developers to the point that he lost his cover art role, and ergo Blastoise sucked. This exhibits a major lack of understanding of the Gen. 1 game naming scheme:
  • The original Japanese Gen. 1 games were named "Red" and "Green". This is where the Gen. 3 names "FireRed" and "LeafGreen" came from.
  • An updated version of the Japanese Gen. 1 was released, called "Blue".
  • One can gleam that the titles of those three games is derived from the additive primary colors of light: red, green and blue (RGB).
  • The international releases were not a port, but rather Remade for the Export, including of bugfixes explored in the Japanese Blue, but the game parallelism derived from Red and Green.
  • However, in English-speaking North America at least, red is generally contrasting with blue.
  • Hence the names seem to have been changed as a Woolseyism.
  • The anime-inspired Pokémon Yellow had no color name in the title in Japan. However, in the West, it was named "Yellow". Red, blue, and yellow comprise the traditional taught-in-school color wheel there.
• The two deadlockers then cite sales numbers (to, once again, judge popularity) of the Red version vs. the Blue version... except that you can pick either starter in both games.

Fun fact: Nick Nocturne personally detests MatPat. Normally Nick projects a very reasonable and positive presence online, but when it comes to talking about MatPat, well... read for yourselves.

Damn, I like Nick Nocturne a lot, he makes good shit, but methinks he's taking this a little bit too seriously.

Maybe that's why I'm not so salty about a spaz like MatPat: most fan theories are wrong and/or not intended by the original authors, they're just for fun and sometimes to make shitty media better. I don't think even MatPat takes his own output that seriously when it's not relaying some obvious hidden lore, most of it's too over the top, played for laughs and he's gone back on stuff before with Five Evenings at Fritzbear's.

Especially if his approach is "telling a narrative". I don't see anything wrong with that for entertainment purposes and people pedantically overanalyzing inaccuracies are just being autistic. Stuff like Majora's Mask = The Five Stages of Grief has been kicked around forever and plenty of people make video summations of popular fan theories.

MatPat possibly plagiarizing people after approaching them for a gig and then never contacting them again though, that's a horse of a different color.

ahhhh Matpat. So full of himself and such. His video on For Honor where he said that the samuari would beat the knights and the vikings without breaking a sweat was full of historically factual faults and outright lies.
It got so bad that a lot of youtubers called him out on it.

the video in question.

Film theory: is reddit sans confirmed?!? View attachment 342373

I found the Reddit post (Oct. 22, 2015) and the episode of Film Theory (Dec. 9, 2015) in question. Both do cover the same subject. While he does cram the video more with a bunch of information about the dB range of guns and shit, the main gist of the theory is identical. This could be just a coincidence at best, or MatPat stealing the theory without credit at worst.

You'd think this shit wouldn't be so easy to find after a few seconds of Googling.

EDIT: Screencapped the wrong post.

I think he also runs Film Theory, where he did a video on the god damn Emoji Movie, I shit ye not he made a theory about an hour long phone commercial, but then again only a retard like him could try and find something in that to analyze

 

[I_Am_Honor_Roll]

I used to kind of enjoy his videos.

Then after a while, he started to come off as kinda :autism:.

Then Oney mocked him and I realized it wasn’t just me.

 

[SwanDive]

Oh man, thank god there haven't been any games like undertale or fnaf that have come out lately only for matpat to make a massive series over analyzing everything in it

This is all just a theory.....A KIWI THEORY.

I think I said this before in the Undertale thread, but i don’t have any strong feeling s one way or the other about him giving a copy of the game to the Pope. It’s an odd thing to do, but wherever. I could at least understand his reasoning at the time.

It was the making a 16 minutevideo patting himself on the back for doing so with a thumbnail that gave the Pope googly-eyes that was the lolcow-worthy part.

They were told that it was customary to bring a gift, one that also represented their culture.

MatPat got chosen for the US but wanted to represent internet gaming culture and how it brings people together, like Undertale does. (?)

I guess we should be thankful he didn't get chosen to represent Japan. "Why I chose to give the pope dead or alive xtreme 3"

Spoiler: He wasn't a fan I guess

Didn't Scott Cawthon down right disprove one Mat's FNAF theories by confirming Purple Man is indeed Spring Trap, If I remember correctly Scott commented on Mat's video.

Scott did this before on another FNAF video, and his comment ended up being buried ( most likely deleted by Mat Really).

Scott's also praised Matt Patt for working out storylines correctly from the FNAF games. He's had it both ways.

I love how this thread seems to be mostly sperging about how much they hate his channel and theories which, if you treat them for the schlock entertainment they are, aren't that bad.

I mean for fuck's sake Kiwis you're tarding out about a man who does dumb videos about film and vidya.

I think he also runs Film Theory, where he did a video on the god damn Emoji Movie, I shit ye not he made a theory about an hour long phone commercial, but then again only an exceptional individual like him could try and find something in that to analyze

Oh man, thank god there haven't been any games like undertale or fnaf that have come out lately only for matpat to make a massive series over analyzing everything in it

he made a really long video that i didn't want him to make. he must be burned for his heinous crimes

EDIT: I mean, I can't fault MatPat for following trends. That's something practically every YouTuber with over a million subscribers does. Sure, his over-analyzing is dumb, but that's not the worst thing he's done and certainly not why I started this thread.
