History Awesome / AchievementHunter

* ''VS'' episode 22: The Ryan versus Ray match in ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur''. Ray snaps Ryan's win streak by taking every match and continuing his streak as the only competitor to never lose when he picks the game. [[CombatPragmatist Ray chose Kilik for the first three rounds because his bo staff had the greatest reach in the game.]] On the fourth match, to change things up, Ray chose [[DifficultButAwesome Voldo who is one of the hardest characters to play]] while Ryan chose [[SkillGateCharacter Maxi.]] Despite making things more difficult for himself, Ray does eventually learn to use Voldo a little bit. In the third round of the final match, Ryan has half his health left and Ray only has a tiny sliver. Ray successfully combos him to take off all of Maxi's health and to win the belt.

* Any time the Creator/AchievementHunter guys work together, you can expect multiple moments of awesome from everyone.

* RT subscriber [=AxialMatt=]. He's contributed three games to the AH team's ''Let's Play Minecraft'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajvP0rrlqV0 a NFL field]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXA4IsJTvRo a Grifball court]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTkBQA4Gdes a racetrack]]. Just look at all of them. LOOK AT THEM.
** And now he's been hired.

* Somebody made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mfxmpEWF2DY#t=323 plushies of the AH crew]]. With a built in voice box.
* The mixes by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/WETEASEIT?feature=watch Tease It Productions]], blending voice clips of the AH guys with original beats. As of this writing, they've done clips for all six Achievement Hunters plus X-Ray and Vav.
** One of their tracks was even used as the credits theme for Episode 276 of the Rooster Teeth Podcast.
* The fanmade rap [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNo-Rt2EqfA The Achieve Men]] based on the Achievement Hunter crew. It's surprisingly good.
* One from the fans, but Creator/LeVarBurton, Creator/GarySinise, and Creator/GiancarloEsposito have all done introductions for ''AHWU''.
** And then [=LeVar=] came to hang out with the RT crew for the 2014 Extra Life, where he read his recent book to everyone.
** Then his daughter Mica would become an Achievement Hunter herself.

* Otakon 2014 revealed that Michael would be lending his voice to the character Sting in Creator/{{FUNImation}}'s dub of ''Anime/FairyTail''. Not everyday one of the guys lends their talents to something like that.

* A fan built [[https://www.reddit.com/r/roosterteeth/comments/92r5dt/uncivil_hunt_the_ahfh_prop_hunt_map/ the Achievement Hunter and old Funhaus offices]] in Videogame/PropHunt. Her recreation was so impressive that the first comment on the Reddit post was from an impressed Michael, and both groups played it in a friendly match at RTX 2018.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=j0Bv69rg77A Let's Play The Last of]] [[JustForPun Gus]] shows the team of Gus, Ryan, Michael, Gavin and [[RunningGag Gus]] absolutely dominating every match they play. Their respawn counter never falls below 10 by the time they win each round.

* What does the Stinger of the ''Season 12'' finale of ''Machinima/RedvsBlue'' reveal? The Chairman is in possession of The Meta's helmet. But wait, what does the ''ACTUAL'' stinger reveal? The trailer for the then-upcoming ''WebAnimation/XRayAndVav'' animated series.

* The second Achievement Horse tournament. It ends with [[spoiler:Burnie coming first, Kerry coming second and Michael coming third.]]

* ''Let's Play Crimson Map Pack'' episode 2 - normally, during the Halo let's plays, the top three normally includes [[TheAce Ray]], Ryan and Michael (with Ray regularly taking first place). However, during this Let's Play, the winner isn't any of them - [[spoiler: it's ''Gavin'', who normally has one of the lowest scores. this time, his lead is 110 points more than second place Ryan, and ''200 points'' more than regular winner Ray]].

* Let's Play ''Madden NFL 13'': Super Bowl Special, mostly a series of funny moments due to Gavin's lack of football knowledge, has several awesome moments coming from [[spoiler: the victorious]] Team Lads (aka Gavin, Michael, and Ray; aka the Baltimore Ravens).

** Gavin's [[spoiler: basically game-clinching]] moment of smartness. Michael and Ray have been on him for openly calling his plays all game, and [[http://youtu.be/SprYzmLNxYs?t=36m30s this happens]]:

* The ''Call of Duty: Black Ops 2'' "Turned Mode" Let's Play. They play 4-5 rounds of it in twenty minutes, and [[spoiler:Ray wins every single round!]]

** Ray versus Barbara is the first match. [[spoiler:While Ray ultimately does go on to win, as you'd probably expect, Barbara TookALevelInBadass for this video and managed to win three rounds, as opposed to her match against Gavin where she only won a single round. Ray even admits that she did pretty well to get that far- at one point she was overtaking him!]]
** Similar to the first one, the second match (Ryan vs Jordan) has [[spoiler: Ryan winning, but not before Jordan ends up taking three rounds. The web community had predicted Ryan to win easily.]]
** Geoff versus Joel. [[spoiler:Joel wins despite Geoff being a guy who basically plays video games for a living.]]
** Michael versus Lindsay. [[spoiler:A complete CurbStompBattle in Michael's favor.]]
** Gus versus Adam. [[spoiler:Gus ''completely'' curbstomps Adam despite not having played Halo for a damn long while. He wins five rounds, Adam only wins one.]]
** Martinizer. [[spoiler: He takes out Kerry (runner-up in ''both'' previous tournaments) in a play-in round, and defeats Burnie (the reigning champion) in Round 1.]]
** Gavin vs Caleb in the final match of round 1. [[spoiler: Caleb beats Gavin 5-2 and extends his undefeated streak at Halo HORSE. According to Gavin, Caleb managed to win at least two rounds very quickly.]]
** Caleb vs Gus face off in round 2. [[spoiler: Caleb ends up beating Gus 5-1 in a CurbStompBattle. Caleb still has not lost an episode of Halo HORSE.]]
** In the start of the semifinals, Martinizer faces off against Caleb. Both of them have never lost an episode of HORSE before. [[spoiler: Caleb ends up dominating Maritinizer by winning all five rounds. Keep in mind that Martinizer knocked out Kerry, the previous year's runner up, and Burnie, last year's winner.]]
** Who wins the tournament? [[spoiler:Joel, dealing Caleb his first HORSE loss.]]

* "Let's Play ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemptionUndeadNightmare''" has [[spoiler:Michael]] being the one who survives last against a horde of zombies in the final round of the game. This is probably because Ray was away for E3 at the time.

* ''GO!'' episode 8: [[spoiler:Ray wins before anyone else has started playing a game. Some hadn't even chosen a game.]]
** This also has the honor of being [[spoiler:the fastest GO! challenge completed ''ever'' to date, at a mere FIFTY-TWO seconds]].

* Michael and Gavin's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Obj96ErmxQ anniversary revisit]] to ''VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013'', a full, hour-long ''Let's Play'' rather than just a ''Rage Quit'', has them performing the secret [[spoiler:alien]] surgeries. [[spoiler: They end it by performing a successful [[ShoutOut Gavi]][[{{Portmanteau}} chal]] transplant.]]

* ''GO!'' episode 17, where [[spoiler:in a couple minutes, Ray wins the first ''GO!'' pizza party by deploying a parachute in ''VideoGame/JustCause'']].

** It should also be noted that, aside from the first and last round, [[spoiler:Gavin consistently placed third]]. The two rounds he didn't, [[spoiler:Michael did]], and [[spoiler:Ryan finished second every round]].

*** Second match: [[spoiler:They are losing 5 to 9.]] Gavin is then marked for death. Right when the enemy pilot dropped next to him. He gets hit by an arc grenade. [[http://youtu.be/Ig8d-sfBaRs?t=23m46s And then executes the enemy pilot while blind.]]

* In ''Let's Play - Family Feud'', [[spoiler: Gavin and Ray absolutely ''destroy'' Geoff and Michael, winning 4 of the 6 rounds and taking both of the Fast Money Rounds handily. Geoff and Michael only ended up coming out on Top of 1 Round, while the other one (asking what fruit you would have with Jell-O) ended up going to no one.]]
* In ''GO!'' episode 31, [[spoiler:Ray wins ''GO!'' again, earning his second pizza party.]]
* In ''Jeopardy!'' Part 2, in a game between Gavin, Ryan and Jack, the battle was mainly between two people [[spoiler: Jack and GAVIN (which comes off as shocking after his [[TheDitz performance]] in the ''5th Grader'' one) off all people, even taking the lead at one stage until he [[YankTheDogsChain lost all his money in a daily double]].]]

** The moment around the 15 mark where Gavin manages to start off a chain reaction that brings all 6 players into the same room and [[spoiler:ends up with Team New Lads/Lanyard winning the gun battle]].
*** [[spoiler:Then Team Gents coming right back and repaying the favour]].
** At the 18:50 mark you can hear faintly the sounds of Gavin saying "Oh yeah." to something. He then proceeds to sneak up the stairway Geoff and Jack are camping while muttering to himself "Coming up the stairs..." to which Kerry tells him not to announce what he's doing... [[spoiler:turns out Gavin was acting as distraction so Michael could sneak up behind Geoff and Jack and dispatch them]].
---> [[spoiler:'''Michael''']]: [[spoiler:Surprise bitches! Woo!]]

* [[spoiler: Ray wins ''GO!'' Episode 42 and takes the series for the third time in a row as a result.]]

* From ''Let's Play: Halo 3: ODST (Vidmaster Challenge Endure) Attempt 2'': After running out of ammo for his weapon while being chased by a squad of Brutes, Jack falls back on his grenades. While running and jumping backwards, he successfully sticks three of the Brutes ''in a row'', [[spoiler:culminating in him sticking the final Brute in the forehead, [[BrickJoke earning him the Imaginary Achievement "Bruticorn"]]]].

** In the final minute of the game, [[spoiler: Ray, who had been sitting out and acting as the "coach" for Team Lads[[note]]EA had removed the ability to have six players in an online game, so Geoff and Ray both sat out and offered advice on plays.[[/note]], takes the controller from Gavin and proceeds to score two touchdowns within ''seconds''. While the Lads still ended up losing 21 to 39, Ray managed to save his team from being completely annihilated by the Gents and showed once again why he is [[TheAce The Ace]].]]
* ''GO!'' episode 68 is Ray against Michael, Gavin, Ryan, and Jack in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII''. [[spoiler: Ray wins 20-8.]]
* ''Let's Play: 3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures 2 Part 4'' has [[spoiler: ''Geoff,'' the absolute ''worst'' player in the office, manages to hit the Hole-In-One shot (on his third stroke, but still!). Crosses over into the Funny page with his reaction, he cheers so hard he falls out of his chair and goes deaf in his left ear.]]
* As of ''GO!'' episode 80, [[spoiler: Jack has officially tied with Ray, taking his third straight series.]]
* Geoff, Ryan, Jack, and Gavin play [[TowerFall Towerfall Darkworld]], and once again everyone puts up a good show, especially Ryan managing to win the second game, however the showstopper is Gavin managing to outsmart everyone in one round by staying hunkered down and invisible to counteract them all starting with shields. [[spoiler: Then winning the whole shebang 2:1 over Ryan and only losing that one to a negative kill.]]
* The Podcast crew play ''Capsule Force'', and despite a rather poor start Gus and Blaine manage to battle back and tie the game up at 9 wins apiece against Miles and Kerry. [[DownToTheLastPlay The deciding match even comes down to sudden death]]. [[spoiler:Sadly, Gus and Blaine ultimately lose in the end]].
* ''Let's Play: Fibbage 2'' ends with an amazing win by [[spoiler: Gavin. The question is about an odd world championship held every year in Fenny Bentley, England. He successfully tricks everyone else into picking his answer and is the only one who finds the truth: toe wrestling. In one shot, he earns ''10,500 points'' - 3,000 for the right answer and 7,500 for tricking the other five - which kicks him all the way from second-last to first place.]]

--> [[spoiler: '''Gavin:''' "English knowledge!"]]
* Achievement Hunter Hockey League: Week 1 has an incredible comeback moment for [[spoiler:Gavin. Down 2-1 against Ryan in the last minute of the game, Gavin scores ''two goals in the span of half a minute,'' the last one taking him ''three seconds from a face-off'' '''[[DownToTheLastPlay with two seconds left on the clock.]]''' Not too bad for someone who has never even watched a game of ice hockey before, let alone played NHL on Xbox.]]
** Week 3 features an absolute nail-biter of a match between [[spoiler:Michael and Geoff. Geoff scores the first goal against Michael of the season within seconds of the game starting, with Michael returning the favor minutes later. They spend the rest of the game trying to score just one more goal against the other, [[DownToTheLastPlay even going into overtime after neither were successful]]. Finally, with ''half of a second'' left in overtime, Michael finally scores the winning goal and the [[WorthyOpponent two congratulate each other on a hard-fought match]].]]
* ''Let's Play- VideoGame/MarioParty 8: King Boo's Haunted Mansion Part 2'' has Jeremy enact a doozy of a play- after Gavin gets a gold space that gives him coins and a direct path to a guaranteed star, Jeremy rolls, takes a risk at a fork in the road by mentally counting the (unseen) spaces, and gets it himself. He then convinces Michael to successfully use his Springo candy to warp to the bonus zone Gavin and Jeremy are in under the guise of screwing over Gavin, and Michael rolls just in front of Gavin. Jeremy reveals that this stops Gavin from successfully using his Duelo Candy- while it gives him two dice it also stops him where someone else is for a duel, and with Michael in front of him but not to the star, it nullifies the double. Gavin is forced to roll one die and misses it. Jeremy uses his Twice candy to get two dice without stipulations to steal the star and half the coins from Gavin. [[spoiler: He wins the game, likely because of that move.]]
* ''Let's Play - VideoGame/RainbowSixSiege: Extraction'' has the gang trying to get the Hit and Run achievement, which is to beat a Terrorist Run in 2 minutes. [[spoiler:They are able to do it with Jack and Ryan the only ones alive, six seconds to spare, and on their ''first try''.]]
** In their final mission, they manage to [[spoiler: pull it off in under 60 seconds]]. Additionally, Matt manages to get four kills without even using his gun. He beats the enemies with a hammer the whole time.

* In ''Let's Play - Driver: San Francisco with Game Attack'', they are all competing to see who can get the best time in the survival challenge [[spoiler: of Jericho throwing cars at you like the finale]] and many of them actually make some pretty sweet dodges. The true moment of awesome is that [[spoiler: Geoff, who was a last minute addition to the video and started his run rough, won the competition on his '''first try'''[[note]]Shaun technically beat Geoff by a couple seconds but was eliminated due to having past experience with the game and had an unfair advantage as a result so that Geoff was given the victory[[/note]] ]]
* Geoff, Michael, Jeremy and Ryan did a playthrough of ''VideoGame/StarTrekBridgeCrew'', which, at the end, puts them through the "unwinnable" ''[[UnwinnableTrainingSimulation Kobayashi Maru]]''. [[spoiler:They're able to rescue six people within the disabled ship, take down a few Klingon ships and stay until they're out of shields and make a break for it. And at the end, the admiral congratulates the four for a job well done and lets them have control of the USS ''Aegis''.]]

* In ''Let's Play - [=PUBG=]: Git Gud #4 - The G Stands for "Good"'', they decide to do a 'lightning round' by heading to the school first, a spot infamous for attracting crowds of players at the start of the match. [[spoiler:Not only are they the only ones who land there, but they go from a clear drop at the school, running other players over with a jeep, running ''through'' the bombardment zone with bombs falling all around, via not one but ''two'' supply drops, to Jeremy '''winning the game for their team'''. Lightning round indeed.]]
** In #5, Michael manages to take out two players by himself (having split off and gone in a different direction from the others). When the rest of their team comes after him, he has to hide because he's low on health and ammo. Geoff, Jeremy, and Ryan hop into a car and decide to ride up and save Michael. They get there ''[[BigDamnHeroes just in time]]'' and manage to take out the enemy players just as they're shooting through the door. [[spoiler:And then they go on to win the match with ''three'' of them left alive.]]

* ''[=RouLet's=] Play - Rainbow Six Vegas:'' With four players in a level with 50 enemies, [[spoiler:Jeremy is left alone with 16 to go, and ''wins,'' capping off an incredible ''34-kill'' performance]].

** He wins 7 out of 8 grand prix and lose only in the last prix to [[spoiler: Gavin in first and Michael in second]] due to the combined efforts of everyone.

* Same as the Old Geoff - Fore Honor - ''Golf It!'' (#14): After Ryan focuses his efforts on Alfredo, and Jack suffers a bug where his ball gets stuck, [[spoiler:'''Geoff wins the second course'''.]]

** Gavin, Jeremy, Jack, and Geoff challenge themselves to complete a Vidmaster Challenge on the game's most difficult playing mode. Not only that, they have a time crunch because Geoff had a flight to catch. [[spoiler:They complete it just in time for Geoff to leave.]]

** Gavin, Michael, Jeremy, and Jack challenge themselves to play a ''Halo 3'' level LASO (Legendary All Skulls On). Which meant the game's most difficult playing mode, all modifiers on, and all deaths meant returning to their last checkpoint. [[spoiler:THEY COMPLETE THE LEVEL. Special mention going to Gavin getting the ''least number of deaths'' and Jeremy with the most Grunt kills.]]
* Watch the Panic - Ultimate Chicken Horse: Gavin proves that once again, he's a CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass in the pyramid level when he [[spoiler:sneakily hides a teleporter behind an obelisk and waits until the second teleporter shows up and place it behind the goal flag. After watching the others die and claiming that he's trying to figure out a path, he immediately uses the teleporter to score himself a win. He also ultimately wins the level with a well timed jump that lands right at the goal flag.]]

* Episode 8 of Towerfall Ascension has three rounds. [[spoiler:Gavin once again wins each and every round.]]
* THE YOUTH VS. HOBO - Gang Beasts | Let's Play: As the title implies, the highlight of the episode is Fiona as the Youth VS Ryan as the Hobo. The match is surprisingly intense, as neither one can be forced out of the ring for quite some time, given that Fiona is inexplicably impossible to knock out for long and Ryan is too heavy to lift and throw out of the ring. [[spoiler: Ryan finally manages to toss out Fiona after a long and brutal duel.]]

* Hiding in the Helicopter - Gmod: TTT w/ Tom Fawkes: In the penultimate round, Ryan summons his inner Alfredo. [[spoiler:He was a traitor along with Michael, but got killed early on. While everybody else is busy arguing, Michael sneaks over and revives him. He manages to get to a sniper rifle, then just as Gavin (who hadn't been paying attention before) is starting to out him, he starts firing. He headshots Gavin, Jack, Jeremy and Tom, ending the round. Four shots, four kills.]]

* ''Michael Must Go! - Ultimate Chicken Horse (#36)'' sees Gavin, Jeremy, and Ryan trying to stop the Chicky-Doo powerhouse that is Michael, who according to [[https://twitter.com/JeremyNDooley/status/1275887502751158273 Jeremy's compiled stats]] had won ''over 50 percent'' of rounds to that point. They play six rounds; [[spoiler:Michael wins all of them, including the final round on the very last turn]].

* EVERYONE kicking tons of ass in ''Worms Revolution''. Particularly [[spoiler: Gavin]], who [[TookALevelInBadass dishes out massive amounts of damage to the enemy worms]].

** With everyone still alive, but with three of the four only with one worm (Michael has two), Ray uses a well-aimed homing missile to knock [[spoiler:Gavin's final]] worm out of a hole and into the water, eliminating him.
** Then, after [[spoiler:[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Geoff's mishap with the sheep]]]], Michael passes on eliminating [[spoiler:Geoff's worm, on the same ledge as his,]] in order to try and supersheep [[spoiler:Ray's sole worm, on the top of the map]]. He not only manages to kill the worm, but he ''picks up a health pack'' along the way, something which none of the players knew was possible.
*** What's almost even more incredible is that [[spoiler:Michael using the super sheep was ''Gavin's'' suggestion, and it ''worked'']].

* The penultimate turn of ''Worms Battlegrounds'' part 7 has [[spoiler:Gavin flying with a jet pack with reckless abandon, dropping a banana bomb along the way. Said bomb manages to blow Geoff's remaining worm, with 167 health, into the water]]. Everyone wondered how the ''hell'' he did that.
* Despite starting out with one less worm than the rest of the competitors in the first match of ''Worms Battlegrounds'' Part 8, Michael [[spoiler: ends up winning the whole thing, narrowly taking Ryan out in a final one-on-one fight.]]

* ''The Rope Sheep Maneuver - Worms W.M.D.'' continues Gavin's unnatural ninja rope skills, including defying gravity and the titular moment, [[spoiler:in which he flips a rope sheep more than 180 degrees around an outcropping into the perfect position to launch Jeremy's last worm into the ocean and win the game. Especially awesome for Gavin since he's tried multiple times to use a rope sheep and this was the first successful attempt.]]

* ''VS'' episode 7, where Gavin attempts to beat Ray at ''[[FearlessFool Call of Duty]]''. [[TooDumbToLive The one game that Ray wins absolutely, completely, every single time.]] [[LeeroyJenkins Having never played the game before.]] [[spoiler: However, this being Gavin, he still manages to score ''[[LetsGetDangerous nine amazing kills, including one long-range ballistic knife kill]]'' [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass making him one of the better losers thus far.]] Ray beats him by a fair margin, but ''[[TookALevelInBadass still]]''.]]

* The person to [[spoiler: end Ray's winning streak]] in ''VS''? [[spoiler: Jack]]. Best part is that it's a total [[spoiler: CurbStompBattle for [[TheAce Ray]], [[MemeticBadass of all people]]]]. Regardless of how [[spoiler:Ray may have been outmatched and had no idea how to play, Jack took it to almost EvilGenius levels, as Ryan did for him.]]
** Even more awesome when you consider that [[spoiler:Jack himself said that he didn't think anyone was ever going to get the belt back off Ray.]] [[spoiler:Ray utterly beat the crap out of him in a fighting game.]] Well, what does [[spoiler:Jack]] do? [[spoiler:''[[LaserGuidedKarma Utterly beat the crap out of him in a fighting game.]]'']]
* Episode 13 of ''VS'' is Ray versus Gavin in London 2012 Olympics. [[spoiler: Ray doesn't just win. He [[CurbStompBattle completely destroys]] Gavin. To elaborate, Ray beats Gavin by 30 points in archery (which is especially bad considering that Gavin is [[MemeticBadass Mark Nutt]],) Ray takes first in Triple Jump while Gavin fails to even place. By this point, Gavin has no shot at winning but he plays Shot Putt because he wants to break the world record. But not only does Gavin fail to do that, Ray actually does it instead.]]
* Episode 14 of ''VS'' is Ray vs Ryan in ''Worms: Ultimate Mayhem'' for the PC. [[spoiler: Ray wins despite the fact that he was playing the game for the first time and Ryan claimed that he "used to plays Worms all the time."]]
* ''VS'' episode 15. Jack challenges Ray to the claw game at the nearby arcade. Yes, that [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claw_crane claw game]]. During the round, both are able to lift toys a short distance, and even move them, but no one wins one... [[spoiler: until Ray wins ''two toys in one grab'', keeping the belt]].
* ''VS'' episode 16. [[spoiler: Geoff manages to stop the menace that is Ray.]] It is as glorious as it sounds.
* ''VS'' episode 17: Michael challenges Geoff to ''Rapala Fishing 2010'', [[spoiler:and utterly annihilates him, catching a 22-pound, 15-ounce fish right off the bat.]] Later, [[spoiler:Michael]] hooks two fish that are even heavier, [[spoiler:one 37 pounds and the other ''64'']] (as unnoticed by the guys until the end, the game displays the weight of a fish on the line), [[spoiler:but both get away.]]
* ''VS'' episode 18 has Gavin and Michael going at it in ''Marble Blast Ultra''. The match is insanely close, but [[spoiler:Gavin beats Michael, claiming the belt for the first time]].
* ''VS'' episode 19 has Ryan vs Gavin in ''Top Spin 3''. [[spoiler:Initially it seems that Gavin has the upper hand since Ryan does not know how to serve properly. But after a few rounds, Ryan learns how to properly play the game and then proceeds to start messing with Gavin. [[ConfusionFu He keeps hitting different shots and placing them all over the court so Gavin has to keep guessing where he should go.]] In the end, Ryan wins by a pretty significant margin.]]
* ''VS'' episode 20 has Ryan versus Jack in ''Doom II'' for the PC. It seems like it will be an even match. Jack is the resident ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' expert, but Ryan is the resident PC gamer of Achievement Hunter. [[spoiler:The match is easily the closest in ''VS'' history. Jack takes an early lead at the start leading Ryan by 4 points. Then, Ryan makes a comeback to tie Jack. Jack then begins leading Ryan again but then Ryan makes another comeback to take the lead. Jack then manages to tie it up and it becomes a back and forth between the two. Finally, Ryan starts to lead Jack by 4 points and he is extremely close to winning, but Jack slowly starts to catch up and then narrows the gap to 2 points. [[TwistEnding Then the unthinkable happens.]] Time runs out giving Ryan the win.]]

* ''VS'' episode 22: The Ryan versus Ray match in ''VideoGame/SoulCalibur''. [[spoiler: Ray snaps Ryan's win streak by taking every match and continuing his streak as the only competitor to never lose when he picks the game. [[CombatPragmatist Ray chose Kilik for the first three rounds because his bo staff had the greatest reach in the game.]] On the fourth match, to change things up, Ray chose [[DifficultButAwesome Voldo who is one of the hardest characters to play]] while Ryan chose [[SkillGateCharacter Maxi.]] Despite making things more difficult for himself, Ray does eventually learn to use Voldo a little bit. In the third round of the final match, Ryan has half his health left and Ray only has a tiny sliver. Ray successfully combos him to take off all of Maxi's health and to win the belt.]]
* ''VS'' episode 23 ends up being what Geoff dubs "the greatest ''VS'' of all time". Michael challenges Ray to a best-of-7 match in the ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'' minigames, and it comes [[DownToTheLastPlay down to the final game]], the "trash can challenge". Michael takes the lead early, but Ray charges back at the end... [[spoiler: only to come up ONE POINT short. Michael wins 61-60 and takes the belt]].
** What makes this even better is that, when Michael reveals the game, he proclaims that he's gonna bring Mogar into the fight. [[spoiler:Boy, does he ''bring it''. He does what MARK NUTT couldn't.]]
* ''VS'' episode 24 has [[spoiler:Gavin beating Michael]] in ''VideoGame/GuitarHero 2''. Playing "[[Music/LynyrdSkynyrd Free Bird]]". By a good 10,000 point margin.
** Episode 25 [[spoiler:continues his trend]] by having [[spoiler:Gavin defeat Ryan]] in a round of ''VideoGame/{{Divekick}}'', 4-1, to five rounds each.
* ''VS'' episode 36 has Gavin challenges Michael to the end of the Co-op campaign of Splinter Cell Conviction. [[spoiler:Near the end, Gavin starts firing randomly. Michael uses this to sneak to Gavin's side to sync kill him. Despite the initial confusion, Gavin manages to sync kill Michael instead]], winning the belt.
* After having only a couple of wins - if any at all - every time it's his turn, Gavin manages to [[spoiler:pull off a winning streak from episodes 36 through 38, beating Michael, Ryan, and Jack in very amazing victories; he only barely loses to Geoff in episode 39 and actually ''has Geoff shaking'' from how close the match is]].
** To make this even better, keep in mind that [[spoiler:he won three matches in a row; the only person who's had a longer winning streak was [[TheAce Ray]], and aside from [[AxCrazy Ryan]] who has the same streak as Gavin, ''nobody else'' has had a streak last longer than two wins in a row.]] In other words, [[spoiler:in terms of longest win streak, ''[[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Gavin is tied for second place]]''.]]

* Episode 40: [[spoiler: Geoff beats Ray leading to Ray's first loss when he's the challenger.]] At what game, you ask? ''VideoGame/{{Peggle}}''!
** [[spoiler: As well as Ray's first challenger loss, this is Geoff's first time he successfully defended the belt.]]
* Episode 41 has Michael continuing his [[spoiler:BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame]] trend against [[spoiler:new champion Geoff]] by challenging him to ''Peggle 2'' on the Kinect. [[spoiler:Both rounds are close, but Michael wins each.]]
* Episode 42, Gavin challenges Michael to an obscure game, and after tying, [[spoiler: he manages to beat Michael.]] That isn't awesome in itself; what was awesome is that Michael [[spoiler: suggests that Gavin had intentionally thrown the rounds that he lost in to set up the decisive round. Considering that the basis of his losses [[ViolationOfCommonSense were nonsensical]], it's not completely out of the question.]]
* Episode 43, Ryan challenges Gavin to a game where each had five rounds to get a high score, the highest score winning. Ryan uses up all of his rounds to get a measly 20 points. [[spoiler:Gavin easily beats his score in the second round]].
* Episode 46, Gavin has steam-rolled his way through the competition so far. He is on a four-win streak which is the second highest in Versus history. The only streak higher is his challenger Ray's five-win streak from episodes 11-15. It's a game of ''FIFA Street'', where Gavin has a slight advantage due to being a soccer fan. [[spoiler:Despite the disadvantage, Ray delivers a CurbStompBattle to Gavin in a decisive 5-1 win.]]
* Episode 51, Jack takes on Ryan in ''VideoGame/YouDontKnowJack''. [[spoiler: After being [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] for practically the entire game, spending most of it in the negatives, Ryan manages to only just come from behind and win the game in the Jack Attack by a ''328 dollar margin'']].
* Episode 57, Lindsay makes her third appearance (and her first as a permanent contender) and challenges the champion, Michael, to ''VideoGame/DeadOrAlive 4''. [[spoiler:After barely losing the first set, Lindsay proceeds to [[CurbStompBattle sweep Michael in the next two sets]] and earns her first belt. [[TookALevelInBadass A very different outcome from her debut.]]]]
** Episode 58 [[spoiler: continues Lindsay's streak]] as Geoff challenges her to ''Dead Or Alive 5''. [[spoiler:Unlike Michael, who got in at least one win, Lindsay [[CurbStompBattle cleans house against Geoff]].]]

* Episode 61, Ryan vs Michael in ''Conker: Live and Reloaded''. [[spoiler: Though the game itself is fairly unremarkable, thanks in large part to neither player knowing how to use the cable cars and thus being stuck on opposite sides of the map, Ryan manages to net the only kill of the game in spectacular fashion by nailing Michael with a pair of throwing knives from across the map. For context, throwing knives were Ryan's only ranged weapon and Michael was playing a character with a sniper rifle.]]
* Episode 62, Ryan vs. Gavin in ''Super Pole Riders''. [[spoiler: Although Gavin takes an early lead with the first point and seems close to running out the clock on Ryan, the latter suddenly seems to grasp an understanding of the controls, and makes a magnificent comeback.

He goes on to surpass Michael's score by a wide margin]].
* Episode 76: Gavin challenges the champion in a game of ''VideoGame/TowerFall: Ascension'' [[spoiler:and revives the name of Mark Nutt with his 2D archery skills against Ryan]].

** Both competitors had their share of awesome moments in this one. [[spoiler:Jack]] removed 5 seemingly load-bearing bricks by very quickly karate chopping them out and [[spoiler:Ryan]] stopped it mid-fall ''twice'', first by catching the whole thing with his ''face'', and the second time by steering the whole stack back into place ''using the block he was holding''.

After only half a year as an official competitor, Jeremy has already tied Ray's record and could very well break it if he defeats Jack in Episode 131.]]
** [[spoiler: The record has officially been broken as of (the official) Episode 131. After defeating Lindsay, Jeremy stands at six consecutive victories and a clean sweep of the current participants.]]

* ''VideoGame/SurgeonSimulator2013 - Steam Version'' has two {{Shout Out}}s to Michael and Gavin's Rage Quit of the game as achievements: "Like an Animal", which has you tossing everything off of the table and "Like A Wet Paper Towel", which has you [[spoiler:throwing the heart away]].
