Neutral as a concept can be misleading for newer players in fighting games in general. Neutral is a STATE or PHASE of the game. As zero explains, it's the phase where you figure out how you can start your offensive pressure, which is the ideal position for you, because that's the game you know how to play with your character/the one you can practice. Since neutral is a loose concept every time you play a new person, learning to take note of what they do on the spot is ideal, and the skill you want to develop. Most top players in any fighting game have their consistent ways of winning neutral, whether it be through their character, or their own prowess. Don't be frustrated when you lose, because there are certain play-styles perhaps that you may have never adapted to or have seen. Play to learn, not to win, because when you play to learn, you can win against a wider variety of people and understand why.
I feel like many new players are just rushing through online battles and just care about getting elite without realizing there mistakes as to why they lose.
Zero: Just jump above me.... Okay, you see how you can just expect them to jump over you like that. Me: Understood. I'll just tell my opponent what to do and then hit them.
TL;DW: 1.) Don't worry about spacing, only nerds try to space. 2.) Dash dancing is okay, but rolling lets you move with invincibility. You should be rolling around most of the time. 3.) If your character has a strong projectile, don't use it. No one enjoys fighting a spammer. 4.) If your character has a counter, then you really shouldn't be using any other move(s). After all, counters beat other moves. 5.) Charge smash attacks whenever possible. Your opponents will eventually run into them. 6.) Finally, remember that the ledge gives you invincibility, so make sure to stay by the edge and avoid center stage whenever possible. Weaker players won't recognize this and will try to stay in the center of the stage, so don't be fooled.

I wouldn’t trust him. He wasn’t the best player in the last game, smash brothers for Wii U. The melee pros are really good at this game though, so take their word as gospel
One of my favorite things to do as samus. Charge the projectile until it has only a few frames left to charge, then cancel it via blocking, dodging, etc. When hiting the projectile again it will play a frame or 2 of the charging animation. This can trick people ez.
That last tip was the greatest most helpful piece of advice. Being mindful of your OWN gameplay and how each action has a reaction. And playing off that. So smart.
I literally learned to play neutral by myself. When I played with Lucas, I would space out with F-Airs, or use PK Fire to zone/push back, or when playing Roy, I would always try to get the outermost of the strong hitbox.
I think you should do another one of these (if you ever return) but with Bowser. He is basic like mario but I feel like Bowser neutral is really difficult to perfect but easy to demonstrate in terms of jumps, movements, aerials, and callouts. Hope you're staying safe man, society may never change, but we as people can.
My friend plays Young Link, and all he does is throw projectiles and then when I get close he does an up smash. After awhile I figure out ways to beat his strategy and he loses because he doesn't adapt to my strategies. It kind of sucks because he never gets better which makes him stop playing games like Tekken 7, Dragon Ball Fighterz, and now Smash Ultimate.
Sorry but you're friends sounds anoying to play with, spammers in a fighting game is what broke many friendships especially those who didn't change it up
@@chiefsosa8450 You're losing IRL friendships over games? That doesn't sound right to me, seems more like the fact you're not picking the right friends if your friendship is THAT weak!
All my friend does in smash ultimate is forward smash, up smash etc and he spams it like crazy like i am going to fall for it. He will use wolf and spam forward smash and then he is going to start telling me he knows some combos with wolf 😂😂.
This is actually a good guide for people trying to get better. Making these reads and testing to see if they'll work with your opponents play style and adapting from there is super key and it really is the difference between a 4/10 player and a 8/10 player
Sucks about the person who made this though. (I do not hate zero, what he did was wrong but that does not make him a bad person, and I wish him the best of luck)

Understanding Neutral and how to condition opponents so you can take advantage of them is probably THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of Smash. The neutral game in Smash is extremely free and non-linear, but this same basic methodology can be applied to any fighting game (or even any PvP game). Thanks for the video Zero.
ZeRo I’m a new smash player. thank you for this! I had no idea how important neutral game is. Hell I didn’t even know that existed! Please please keep making more guides like this. This is awesome!
Really nice guide. From how I understood it (going for a different approach of explaining it) is that it's essentially "reactive counters" or "thought counters" that's all about your micro mechanical skills coming to life. You adapt to continuously counter the other player's moves before they even make a move as well as make sure they can't counter you. It's a basic philosophy I've tried teaching my friends several times playing say a MOBA or MMO PvP, even if a MOBA has waaaaaaay less options to play differently than a fighter game, but playing against casuals it works well. The idea is the same though that if you learn to read your enemy's playstyle and know how characters are generally played, you can adapt with whichever character you have (even if it's UP and countered) by adapting and throwing the enemy off guard. It's kinda psychological gameplay which can only come from playing a lot, it's really hard to truly teach it to someone other than plant a seed in people's mind and then they can develop it by being aware of it, until it's how they think during their gameplay. I never thought of calling it "neutral" in this scenario, which makes sense given in that moment you're both on neutral grounds. Whatever you're doing at that time (jumping, dashing, etc) is a prelude to someone actually landing a hit, and it's the mind game of how to land a hit which is the idea, and mastering this mind game of trying to predict the enemy and do the opposite in how you play is the key to winning neutral play. Then also by adding the fact you can try get into the other player's mind by deliberately playing a certain way, only to bait a certain playstyle out of them so you can gain from it is something on the next level of advancement that's pretty darn amazing when you think about it. You can take this into some other games in multiplayer even if they play differently (although fighter games I believe it has the biggest and most important impact) and once you understand the concept, it's how you can get really good when playing against players. This is also why playing against players is so much more fun than AI, cause each player is a unique individual and the strategy is to get into their mind, but AI often just play like the other AI, they don't plan ahead nor can you throw them off based on their reaction or planning, they'll react based on concrete facts and data which no player can. Which is why playing against AI, even for practicing, can give you bad habits since you may lose this mind game mentality that's very important to succeed in PvP.
to quote izaw, "Nobody can teach you how to properly play the neutral game." So I'd say this isn't a tutorial on neutral as much as informing new people about neutral and what it is.
extra life imo that matchup is a lot more even than you might think. If the Mewtwo plays more defensive/reactive, his tail attacks (side tilt, down tilt, up tilt, up air, b-air) shut down a lot of their approach options. It’s only when the Mewtwo plays like they want every moment to be highlight reel material and they rush in a lot that Pikachu/Pichu shut them tf down.
Playing neutral in fighting games has the same principles as combat sports - which has the same principles as all other sports. There is a likely move to be made, and you have the option to select countermoves. How fast you can predict and respond correctly to your opponent is what separates the amateurs from the pros. It's kinda cool to see how it's all connected. Musashi-style: from one thing, know ten thousand things.
Great guide! It really helped me understand better all the concepts underneath neutral to improve my game and think more about my moves. I would like to see some tips on how to deal with zoning playstyles with characters with little or no projectiles. It's one of my biggest weaknesses in this game. When facing good zoning players (good Lucas, Samus, any Link, etc), I constantly find myself suffering from projectiles and when I finally manage to get close, I get grabbed or smashed away and my opponent gets enough time to run away and continue the zoning process.
I watch so many Videos about neutral and how to play, but when I play I'm not thinking of what I do and what my oppenent does. I simply just do things without being aware of them. I really try to predict something or dont be predicteble, but most of the time its to fast paced and I don't really know how to overcome this unawareness...
Roman Kress TAE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. Maybe you’e not comfortable with the game or controls. Get used to just playing the game first maybe? That or you’re too used to playing a certain way and you have habits which makes you do things without thinking.
that's called autopiloting, and it's typically a pretty bad habit. You might want to save replays and watch what you do and analyze what you did wrong and what you should have done, when youre not in a pressured environment, and try to apply it to your future games. And while youre doing that, try to apply that same analysis skills midgame, and try to think things like "why am i getting grabbed all the time? maybe i should try spot dodging" or something like that
I suffered from the same thing for SOOOO long. The only things that broke mgs out of the habit were: 1. Playing more. 2. Playing different characters. 3. Slowing it down in practice sessions. Those three things made me stop autopiloting and actually think more deeply about what I was doing and why I was doing it. Hope that helps.
Try speaking out loud as you play. Say your opponent's habits, say what you're going to do, why you're going to do it, etc. It forces you to stay off of autopilot
I wonder how much players like Leffen know about this concept and how much they practice it. To me it's like 50/50. Learning to read, plan and bait/Learning new techniques, tools to execute my plans in as many different ways possible. Why do only "Rock paper scissors" If you use five more different options?
There's a guy to the right of him who you can see the arm of with a controller and he's controlling it as you can set the CPU to control in training mode (which means you can use another controller to control it).
I bought one. And it helps tremendously. I hated playing online. But it smooths it out. There's some matches where they're clean and some a bit delayed but not like how it was before where you move every 5 seconds lol

1.) Don't worry about spacing, only nerds try to space.

Try speaking out loud as you play. Say your opponent's habits, say what you're going to do, why you're going to do it, etc. It forces you to stay off of autopilot
ZeRo you are KILLING it with the daily content, really helpful stuff. Great work!
can we talk about zero in smash cypher
And then Roy laughs at your "keep away" tactic.
Gracias por el tutorial! hora de estudiar :D
Heeey tioo
Saludos
Eres el SR. Final Fantasy cierto ? Jeje
Zero's Twitch stream on the left monitor. Zero's RUclips channel on the right monitor. VICTORY!
I pray for u to come back I miss your content so much 🥺😔
He probably will not
Great lesson, one of the best about neutral in Smash Ultimate.
oh wow he stopped doing the flex
Its because he is in a stream
I like how you broke this down, very helpful and easy to understand
Luv you ZeRo
I hope i get one of your switches i got hope
Super helpful! I’m just getting started in this, so I appreciated the strategy tips
Idc if he did what he said he still my hero and I do want him to recover from this and be a better person and I believe he can
Lol if you don’t care you are really messed up......
@@andrevanderlinden8722 lol that’s not what I meant oof yea that was pretty messed up now that I think about it
I wonder how much players like Leffen know about this concept and how much they practice it. To me it's like 50/50. Learning to read, plan and bait/Learning new techniques, tools to execute my plans in as many different ways possible. Why do only "Rock paper scissors" If you use five more different options?
ZEROOOO COME BACK PLS I MISS YOU BRO
Thanks for the great vid ZeRo! I know I really appreciate all of these great videos. They help a whole bunch!
This might be a stupid question, but how is he controlling the cpu?
There's a guy to the right of him who you can see the arm of with a controller and he's controlling it as you can set the CPU to control in training mode (which means you can use another controller to control it).
He's just that good
My man ZeRo got into the Smash Cypher, nice
Quick(out of context)question.
Does a lan adapter improve lag online?
I bought one today went from 18k gsp to 200k the game plays so much better with it
@@chiefsosa8450 thanks for the feedback bro. Am currently at 1.3mil gsp idk how with all the lag and delay input ive been having
@@francisamarante4054 it really doesnt help much unless your opponent is using LAN too
@@angsleeper6588 got you now it makes sense. Thanks for the feedback buddy. They should really promote them
I bought one. And it helps tremendously. I hated playing online. But it smooths it out. There's some matches where they're clean and some a bit delayed but not like how it was before where you move every 5 seconds lol
Finally I've been flying by the seat of my pants for the last five years
fuck it feels so sad watching this
Dude your cannel is GROWING
you'll hit 500k easy this year.
