Road to Kingdom Ace of Ace EP 3

Comments

Also side noted. Seeing Eunsang and Hyeongjun win ACE positions and rank high brings my X1 heart to peace and i'm so proud. Hyeongjun and Eunsang got sooooo much criticism over their skills back in ProduceX101 and even X1... that seeing this is such a slap in the face to the doubters and haters who questioned if they where skilled enough to debuted in X1.

watching Hyeongjun grow so much since produce x101 when i first saw him... to then him debuting with X1 and Cravity after, has been such a pleasant jounrey to see.... but im TIRED of MNET bs and them constantly giving Hyeongjun a hard time at first and then him having to go through mental struggle every damn time... its a rinse and repeat. Just let the boy win first time round xD

is ep 4 not part of groupy tier? I cannot access it

Daniela Vega

i'm just wanted to check if you drop already something today or not and Pd i think you put Road to Kingdom episode 4 in a different tier.. i'm in a Groopy tier but it's blocked for me

Sofia

for me it’s the joker concept 😅 i can’t watch any of those anymore, it’s so tired

Mariah

i don’t know if i missed it, but please watch their first round performance that wasn’t aired in the first round! it’s on youtube, it’s Veni Vidi Vici - it ties with Hyeongjun’s solo from that round so beautifully

Mariah

That's what I mean!! Some theatric moves are becoming "gimmicks" rather than a killer move/surprise.

It's okay if they were told about it beforehand. If they know the stakes going in. Losing is a part of life/competition. Ripping efforts/assumed guarantees (in this case of performing) away purely for "shock value" is just traumatizing them and no MNET that doesn't make me go "oooo makes we wanna keep watching this show!"

Finally a comment highlighting ONEUS! I love ONEUS so much and they’re the only group I really know in this season. They and Taemin are the only reasons I even watched this. I do kinda wish that Seoho could go off more vocally because I know he can do it after seeing all of their concerts that have been posted on YouTube. I think that would also hype up the performances even more while Hwanwoong can slay the choreo. Those are the two aces in ONEUS imo with Keonhee being a potential third. It’s unfortunate that their ranking for this round isn’t as high as I thought for other people even tho the ace ranking is because they are a good group, but I’m not complaining about their final rank in the last episode (dw no spoilers) and think it’s well deserved

I really appreciate that you put emphasis on how evil it was to not let cravity perform. I feel like it's easy to brush over it but it really wasn't okay and I'm grateful that you said it!

I dunno if anyone mentioned this but there are separate videos for a.c.e vocal member for each group. They are a basic video of them just singing at a recording mic. I think they were released after this episode...looked it up it came out between last ep and this one. Here's the link! They're all in this one video https://youtu.be/lU1X-Tcn1gc?si=EQtdxKL3FILbaPiB CRAVITY definitely won this round for me! I'm in it for Oneus but I'll give it to anyone who deserves it and cravity went BEYOND anything I've seen them do before! 👏

I think tempest would’ve won with case 143!!!! you have a big brain!

my original team ranking 1. YOUNITE 2. CRAVITY 3. The New Six 4. ONEUS 5. The CrewOne 6. 8TURN 7. TEMPEST ACE ranking 1. ONEUS 2. YOUNITE 3. CRAVITY 4. the new six 3. TEMPEST 6. The CrewOne 7. 8TURN I wasn’t overly surprised by how accurate my ace rankings were, I think the difference was the teams that could make their ace shine and then after that it came down to skill in their performance. revisiting comments from the last ep(for this team stage, I judged more on how teams elevated the song they chose or made it different. 8TURN and TEMPEST didn’t do that for me as an enha and skz stan. 8TURN’s performance felt small and TEMPEST felt like they were doing a cover. I feel like there were much better skz stages they could’ve done really well on. I chose younite > cravity bc younite did a storyline that didn’t require having watched whatever movie cravity referenced alone with younite rearranging parts of bite me well!) ep3 comments! I ranked oneus lower bc I agree w the feedback of hwanwoong pulling the team. having seen them live, it’s kinda hard to watch the other members come off so nervous? small? compared to the amazing performances in the past. wondering where their confidence has gone :((( kind of hoping for a turnaround in the next stage! for the ace tiebreaker, my original comments had CRAVITY’s ace over hwanwoong purely based on choreo, but after the rewatch, I do think hwanwoong took it after all!

DY not being the ace in any round seems wild to me

My ranking is as following (and also some suggestions for songs they could have done): Cravity: Really nice concept and performance, put everything into it (didn’t know the movie but after I watched it I even put them higher up this list, but they already were first) Younite: Very strong concept, performance wise could have been a bit better but was still good TNX: nice reproduction of the song, nice rap, choreo could have been a bit better and the concept wasn’t as clear ONEUS: Pretty good, but Kick It really would have shined with RAVN’s raspy voice much more. The Crew One: They really chose the wrong song to me, they didn’t shine (only Geonu, Bain and Yeongyu did) but a good concept 8TURN: Really good choreo, but that was it for me (too similar to the original and not on the same level) TEMPEST: Was really just an underwhelming cover (not bad, but not good enough) Songs I would have chosen for each group Cravity: SRR is a good choice from them but I would say either ”Deja Vu” or ”Can’t you see me” Younite: Bite me was changed in a good way, but I feel they would have been good on ”Tamed-Dashed” or “Let me in” TNX: They could have fitted anything from Stray Kids to be honest and they chose well by doing a B-side, but as a title track I would have said “Thunderous” and as a dark horse “Levanter” (also wanted to say “God’s Menu” or “Side Effects” but they did them on Kingdom so that wouldn’t be good). Also TNX on “Voices” would also be very dope ONEUS: Kick it was nice but would have fitted something like “Favorite” or “Touch” would have worked for them. ONEUS also participated on season 1 and I feel like (apart from Joker) this wasn’t as strong, so maybe try a well thought out fresh concept? The Crew One: I’m going to be honest, poor boys. The Boyz participated 2 times already, most songs they had already done. My recommendations would have been “Maverick” or “Roar”, they would have fitted their voices better I feel like (“Thrill Ride” would also have been fun, but ”Tatoo” is not an option because you need to match Sunwoo in that song, that is a big no) 8TURN: ”Future Perfect” is their lane, that might have been a trap. I would have recommended them “Blessed-Cursed” or “Given-Taken” (could see them doing all of their songs so that might be why they chose “an easy way”) TEMPEST: Maniac isn’t beatable without insane rappers and a deep voice. I would have given them “Case 143” or “LA LA LA” (less insane rapps and deep vocals) Some info on Serim, he is basically one of the 99's (Yeonjun, Wooyoung, Changbin and a few other guys)

I had been rooting for The CrewOne since the first episode of RTK2 because that episode made me revisit and fall into Just B. And I very much agree with your thoughts about their performance, even thought i love the song and concept they went for. I somewhat understand why they were trying to find a member that fit the concept well, because I think that a part of being able to portray the story well. But personally I would have LOVED to see Geonu or Jimin take the lead on this one (i also think Bain and DY are very charismatic and i want to see more from them but that's probably just me being biased cus, I know Just B better than ATBO, so I'm not really sure who in ATBO would suit this concept). I feel like putting a team together this close to a competition really worked against them because they wouldn't know the other team well enough to decide who is able to take the lead well on stage/

my fav performance of the whole round was definitely younite. they blew me away. but also hwanwoongs ace performance was so legendary i had goosebumps the whole time. seeing it on tv is one thing but i can't even imagine how insane that must have been to see with your own eyes. his aura is just so different irl. oneus in general. seeing them irl really hits so so different they are so incredible.
