Actually as a drummer I can tell you some of the things he is saying even translate to drumming. Practice is very similar in many different environments
5:01 can't stress this enough. back when i was training the piano, going to sleep had literally the biggest jump in performance than anything else i acquired during practice. don't underestimate your brain!
you should read "why we sleep" by Matthew Walker, goes into detail about how the brain saves and practices new info when sleeping, super ineresting. He actually mentions a situation very similar to the one you describe about learning piano.
I love watching melee, but I don't have the time or energy to play it seriously. I will always play the newest game, as that's how I'm most likely to have people to play with frequently
great video - I don't play melee anymore, just spectate, but a lot of stuff you discuss can be applied to all kinds of practice. if you're looking for video ideas, i'd be interested in learning how you practice/prepare mentally for high pressure tournaments, since you've gotten really good at that over the years. i'd also like to see your approach to dealing with bad habits/bad muscle memory. loved watching you at goml even if you weren't playing your best, your attitude and self-discipline are inspiring, hope to see you in grand finals again soon!
OKAY have to say this first, huge Mang0 fan. That said, thank you SO much Leffen. You are a great teacher, and this video particularly has elevated my fox game. Like shiiiet, I just played the best melee I have ever played in my life last night, and THIS video was the catalyst. THANK YOU!!!
Things like this (how to train videos) are SO important. Learning how to break things down, control your practice, and especially time/analyze your practice is truly the way to get good at any skill. I'm a professional trombonist and didn't start really progressing until I learned to be as deliberate/consistent as possible. You're doing smash God's work, thanks so much man
I've been playing Melee for like 3 years and this video made me realize why I sometimes get full jump instead of wavedash! Just doing it too fast! Thanks Leff
Awfully Fawfully everyone thinks these guys are inhuman freaks. with godly accurate tech and sense of play. when they fuck up and need practice just like everyone else.
it's also very different hitting tech in tournament vs practice. If i'm warmed up and playing vs a human I can see and feel a whole string of things ahead of time and the tech skill just happens
Andrew Ferguson this is so true . My first hour of play 9/10 is pitiful to watch . But once you warm up it’s way easier to enter the flow state . Then boom you’re doin shit you didn’t know you knew how to do
just to note, ucf can be used in 20xx steps: 1. go to 20xx.me/ucf and download the codeset 2. in your dolphin folder (or faster melee), go to game settings and search for your game ID. i would recommend downloading the game code www.mediafire.com/file/qnjgfcitilf9bcu/Game+Code.zip 3. unzip the file and place your 20xx file in there 4. the ID should be GALEXX 5. so now in gamesettings, search for GALEXX 6. copy and paste the ucf codeset 7. go to gecko codes and enable ucf 8. enjoy 20xx with ucf! great tutorial leffen!
5:00 I always tell people I don't "gain exp" until the next day or until after the training/sparring is over which was weird for smash club at my school. I'd get bodied, replay the moments I messed up in my head, typically when I lost neutral, and see if I can exploit a theoretical strategy against it later. this lead to a Dedede mirror in Smash 4 where I won with n-air, up-tilt, shield, up-tilt, shield, up tilt, shield, up tilt, up smash. Unfortunately, casuals never learn. Against good players I'd slow down the match to find their patterns. I always relate this to the training Trunks did in DBSuper where he imagined every way he lost to Freiza over the pond.
I like how Leffen says "I think you should do x and y" as if he's not the #1 Fox. He's number #1 Fox for a reason, there's no "I think" about it, that's what you have to do to get better
Don't listen to the people who are talking about the mango 4 stock. You are better at melee than they ever will be, unless those 4 people I saw are mango. You're really fucking good. Thanks for the video.
Also the claw upsmash OOS is doable if you're shielding with L. Sucks because I naturally sheild with R and wavedash and cancel with L. But if you're trying to bait a bad Puff aerial with upsmash OOS, you can run up, sheild with L, upsmash OOS
Big thank you for the guide! I'd really appreciate more educational ultimate content Your SSBU Yink was sick btw and it looked like you had tons of fun playing the char so I really hope you'd reconsider maining him
What version of the game is the one you use in the first part of the video? I use version 20XX V4.07 and don´t have the options to practice shiel drop, it is what caught my attention. Eres un crack con Fox.
All of the top players buy from a reliable source like N3zmodgod because they always have controllers that Shield drop, no snapback, etc. And they can notch them and everything too
Because Leffen forgot the download links for 20XX, UCF and UnclePunch UCF:www.20xx.me/ucf.html 20XX: smashboards.com/threads/the-20xx-melee-training-hack-pack-v4-07-7-04-17.351221/ UnclePunch: smashboards.com/threads/training-mode-v1-1-updated-1-11-19.456449/
I wish ultimate had all of these training mechanics!! I always though wave dashing and L-cancelling were tech skills discovered by players, not actual mechanics in the game so that’s pretty cool lol
Wave dashing and L cancelling are mechanics in the game AND they were discovered by players. Those things arent mutually exclusive. Im not sure exactly what you meant but i think seeing L cancel and Wave dash mentioned in the game itself may have thrown you off, but those are only listed in Event Mode because he is on Uncle Punch's amazing training mod which modifies the events
Leffen i had a dream that armada beat me then told me that the tips i learned on this video were trash. Can you teach me how to waveshine upsmash dream armadas mario?
Are people actually upset that a pro melee player is practicing melee and helping other people practice melee? Next time a melee player plays ultimate I'm going to bitch like there is no tomorrow to even out the scales Leff, thanks for the guide!
@@tomd9819 I'm not, I read the comment section. and reddit. and twitter. People are mad at leffen for playing melee and I don't get it. He's addressed in his videos before, so maybe we're both inventing outrage
*100 shines, 100 dairs and 10 hours of tech Skill training EVERY DAY*
ling ling disapproves, he practices 40 hours a day everyday
@@sprenzy42 you aint real unless you play 5 days a day. Smh smashers are lackin recently.

This video isn't only good for melee, a lot of it is transferrable don't write this video off.
Was honna ask if this translates to ultimate

@@jacurururur8848 Exactly! Same thing here. I'll watch melee over any other smash game but will always play the new one cause it's the "trend".

I agree, I'd love to see a video about how you prep for a big tournament.

Im not leffen, but meditation is a good answer. The headspace app is a good way to get into it imo alsk.
Hey Leff, you did great on GOML, we all cheering for you here in Texas. Keep it up big leff
David ll did he play ultimate at goml
Anit Padalkar he dropped out early

Mango slayed you leff. Shouldn't have went to a game that handicaps you aka ultimate.

I pray for the day that Tekken gets something half as good as UnclePunch.
*it will take a long time to get this.. But don't worry too much cause the game's only been out for like 20 years..*
Thx for showing us the way of the "Uncle Punch!"
Strangely enough, it’s reassuring to know that top players aren’t 100% consistent with things like short hops and JCUsmash.
Awfully Fawfully everyone thinks these guys are inhuman freaks. with godly accurate tech and sense of play. when they fuck up and need practice just like everyone else.

Amazing video. The philosophy you talk about behind practice is applicable to anything!

thank you mr.leffen :)
When hair tutorial?
Thank you for taking the time to explain to us plebs the way of the masters 🙏
He does this everyday
by far the best tutorial video i ever seen in my life, thank you for this, i knew i was miss calculating my wave dash and my L cancel
Leffen: I just 3-0 Hungrybox
Mango: Hold my america and take this 4-stock as well.
i loved the video, it helped a lot. this is the way that motivates me most to play and get better, thanks for this leffen, you are sick!!
Wow, a lot of his practice advice is what I had to beat into my head to improve at cello. Wild.
Thanks Leffen. Not the biggest fan of yours by any means but I highly respect you and appreciate your hard work.
I respect the honesty and respect you have for the dedication.
jmac gg I respect the way you respect him respecting Leffen
Halo Kalur and I respect you for respecting him and for respecting everyone
This was a good a read. Respect
just to note, ucf can be used in 20xx
steps:
1. go to 20xx.me/ucf and download the codeset
2. in your dolphin folder (or faster melee), go to game settings and search for your game ID. i would recommend downloading the game code www.mediafire.com/file/qnjgfcitilf9bcu/Game+Code.zip
3. unzip the file and place your 20xx file in there
4. the ID should be GALEXX
5. so now in gamesettings, search for GALEXX
6. copy and paste the ucf codeset
7. go to gecko codes and enable ucf
8. enjoy 20xx with ucf!
great tutorial leffen!
please do more of these william
Lol William
I still find it funny that when leffen isn't busy being a tsundere that he's actually an excellent teacher.
thanks Big Leff
Kinda didn’t think you were wearing a shirt there for a second.
Thanks Leff
This was fucking dope. I loved this man. Please, more of these. Pleaaase
Lot of stuff in this guide is a great idea for learning anything really. Ill def use these concepts to train for other stuff

Thank you, big Leff

Very Useful video L3ff!
He was almost at 150k over a year ago. Come on guys, where are the subs?

Rewatched this. Amazing content. I can't wait for the art of playing friendlies video :)
thank you leff
That shirt makes it look like you have very flappy skin
Interesting Leffen learns tech skill like a musician learns a piece
This is a great video, will be using it to practice in other games as well!

Nice one Leffen
Thanks leffen, now I can get 4 stocked my mang0

How do you practice for smash ultimate though?

Sweet advice from a strong pro. You do good bud. 😋
Not exactly related to training, but where do you get GameCube controllers Leffen? Do you get them used from Ebay or is there another, better source?
All of the top players buy from a reliable source like N3zmodgod because they always have controllers that Shield drop, no snapback, etc. And they can notch them and everything too
