Bro… the Cannon’s story is actually wild... Started as a basic defense in Clash of Clans… Then dropped into Clash Royale as a 6 elixir MONSTER... Held down Hog 2.6 for YEARS…
And now with Evolution? It’s breaking the game all over again. Honestly, it might be one of the most iconic cards in the whole game:_goblinfire:

What's your favorite building in the game?

You'd think bro was talking about the history of the actual cannon with how long this video is 😂

40:56 I can’t believe Okuyasu started playing Clash Royale under an alias and used the power of The Hand to erase enemy units off of the board.

first 20min are just "had a lot of health, could stay for long, we didn't have (insert a modern card)" just in different wordings, holy stretch💔💔💔

@kab1nboi159 1 year ago

as someone who had clash royale before the global release, it still feels like a fever dream that cannon was ever 6 elixir

You did a big mistake there, adding minecraft music to your video makes me wanna play minecraft, so I have to leave now

@juanborra6055 1 year ago

Will you make a video on the goblin hut? Given it's recent rework it would make a great story and video.

@makattack930 1 year ago

1 hour and 30 minutes thank you!

W video bro this must’ve taken so much research and writing and editing, your channel deserves so many more subs. Most slept on clash creator by far.

Besides the card's history, it's absolutely amazing to see how players back then played and what limited resources they could only make use of. From our eyes, yeah they didn't play perfectly or their decks sucked but it was a time where the game could only make use of certain playstyles and concepts weren't fully grasped compared to now where perfect micro is the bare minimum to be a top player.

Just goes to show how far the game has come to and why it's hard to hate this game despite the shitty dev decisions since this game was a pioneer of its time and the potential of its unique concept is so lovable and fun to learn. God I sound old.
