* EleventhHourSuperPower: In "CLOCK BLOCKERS", the second-to-last round introduces a major shakeup to the video's mechanics. The video depicts a fictional [=1v1=] tactical shooter where two players fight each other by creating clones; each clone repeats the actions they took in earlier rounds (ex. purple Sam moves a pallet in round 1, and is stuck repeating that in every later round)... at least, until round 4 shakes this up: if a clone's forced to break out of their cycle, (in this round, blue Sam being saved from being shot,) they become Unlinked and can act freely. Round 5 is driven by the Unlinked mechanic, which enables clones to act unpredictably.
