Completely agree. Mindset during the match is actually one of the biggest things that can cause you to be able to make a comeback or to lose a lead. Good video Adam!
Armada, you're pretty much the father the Melee community needs. You're always trying to make sure we do our best at the game. Thanks again for the tips.
Thanks for bringing this up Armada. When losing we often get stuck in the past thinking of the mistake and maybe get frustrated , or when we are ahead we think ahead like the battle is over and get complacent. Its kind of the natural tendency of the mind to stretch out like this, avoiding the present. You're advice reminds me of a meditation technique to recognize that there is only now, the current instance in time is all that really exists and the future and past are just projections of the mind. Ergo it's very important to remember to breath to maintain presence of mind especially in competition. I have to say Armada, your videos on mentality are really great and it doesn't just apply to video games but all aspects of life, thanks for making them, i find them super helpful and inspiring.
Personally, when I compete midset and I have a large lead, I put myself in their shoes and think "if I were them I would try to make the sickest comeback" everytime
For me sometimes I actually get better when I get mad while I play a game cause my mind usually gets distracted thinking about other things while I play, and when I get irritated I tend to be more focused on what’s happening in the game rather than wondering what to eat for breakfast tomorrow morning. Getting mad can still backfire on me though cause if I feel defeated or only focus on how stupid I think my opponent or the game is at time then it actually makes me play worse. In the end though it’s really just important to keep a level head and not let the anger get the best of you.
1) Don't think of quitting when losing in a set or game (keep going) 2) Don't get caught up in winning (play seriously at times in which it seems favorably one-sided ) 3) Don't dwell over mistakes (readjust to one's own actions as well as the opponent's )
James Watrud He basically said stop thinking like that. Pretend like you are on your last stock even if it's your first stock if you have to. Don't give up because your opponent might do 100x better on their last stock and strip you of that victory.
hey i know this is a month old buuuuuut llod's guide talks about pretending you have one stock while your opponent has 2- according to him thats when you play best
Ban midset thinking

vHAZERv of course you agree, the number 1 player in the world knows best.

That’s Why he’s my favorite God
When Mango and Hbox inevitably retire, I hope Armada makes a return just to ensure the game's longevity.
This was a lowkey life lesson. Thanks swedish diago
this was really helpful, i think mindset is really overlooked when people talk about tournaments, with all the videos about practice

Armada's playlist is amazing. Castevania \o/
Read it as "mindgames mid set"
Love this armada videos
Yeah I think ahead way too much, I should just focus on the match at hand. Thanks Armada
When am ahead I always think : shit he's gonna come back ... x)
my mindset is more of a problem when im ahead. I start to think 'im about to win' and then i throw the game, any advice?

I tilt hard when i'm beating someone better than me like " Wow i can actually not be trash at this game and win" and then i throw
You should write a book about this.

Vafflin, You play smash too?, bet I'd do better against you there then in els 😏
Great video, keep it up! :P
Buuuuuuut. IT'S OVER.
I love your streams, but I think an items on stream could freshen up your streams a little bit!
Its not east to think well when you're in the middle of a match, unless you have an high IQ . 😂
