I just need to say I actually adore this video. The best part had to be that every single time you could say “no” or “I don’t believe this guy” you literally smacked a fact in there to prove your point and like reassured all viewers that we can do anything we want and should try to have fun. It’s like great coaching, great video game advice in general, great smash advice, and all from this random guy on the internet. I enjoyed this vid a lot and an extra motivated now lol. This needs to blow up!!!
From my personal experience what has helped me as a fox main 1. Watching light 2. Watching tons of guides on fox 3. Training lab: techniques, combos, reworking habits 4. Attending in game tournaments or playing with similar skilled in person. 5 and most importantly, AWARENESS. Learn your opponents and learn yourself. Don't go into autopilot mode, but be aware of how you're being punished and how you can punish your opponent. Also pay attention to your opponents bad habits as well. Say "I need to stop doing x he keeps catching me on that." Have fun guys
My experience with smash has been playing casually once a year with my friends. For me the game was just spam the special abilities until one of us win. Recently I starting playing Richter and really wanted to improve, which led me here.
needed this today. just got out of a tourney that made me feel so bad i considered dropping my character altogether. i guess i forgot to have fun somewhere along the line.
I have never seen competitive video game advice like this before and have always wanted to. This video doesn't assume a single thing about the viewer other than they want to get better at smash in some relative capacity. Absolutely amazing. Thank you. If more people adopted this nuanced approach to gaming advice, while also believing in the person receiving this advice, more people would have a greater chance to achieve their individual goals instead of following some prescribed skill tree. Bravo
One thing that's helped me is each time I sit down for a session I think "What would I like to work on today?" I pick one thing (labbing a new combo, keeping an eye on my opponent more than my own character, etc) and try to keep that in mind during my matches. I've also had a bad habit of not having fun playing the game and I get frustrated super easily if things aren't going my way. Recently, if I know I'm struggling I'm a lot better at remembering the game is fun, then I tend to be more relaxed and actually play better. I also listen to my favorite tunes on my phone, headphones in, while I play so I'm not thinking about the struggles and get distracted/more upset
This is such a great video, thanks for making this!! I love how this advice can apply to not only smash but all other areas of skills through the neuroscience info. you gave!
This was an amazing, super informative video! To be completely honest, the best advice that I took from it, was to have fun. I needed that. Sometimes I forget and this game can really be angering, but you’re right. Can’t learn unless you’re having fun! (And yea I guess I did spend $60 to have fun 👀)
You just earned a sub 😉 Very nice explanation, I could agree with everything you say! You’re nice and calm voice, humor and positivity really helps to understand and makes me comfortable. You are an amazing RUclipsr and really need to be recognized. Good luck and have fun!
Practice practice practice, this stuff takes time One thing i struggled with was timing. I would be getting ahead of what was going on. If your button press timing is off it'll really mess up the flow of your neutral. Also developing a main is great but playing other characters really helped me break bad habits with my main. I was settling into some really repetitive behaviors that a good play can punish. RUclips is a great resource for good players. Watch and learn.
The fact how this video is a year old yet still is 100% accurate is amazing. I someone who recently was able to play smash picked up the game without knowing any combos (ofc I still don't since I never played it also because it isn't mine) this helped me a lot to understand how to get better. I simply want to be a casual player to play against my older brother and face fun
i got off for a while because i wasn’t having much fun with the game anymore but after watching this i’ve started looking at it different and im actually really enjoying myself and getting a lot better! tyvm!
I've learned a lot about the brain and how it works than I anticipated. Honestly didn't know how to play while having fun was important to training. Thank you.
Good video. I tend to practice on CPU's simply to learn a new chracter. Beyond that, I categorize opponent's characters depending on their speed, if they have weapon, size and if they have a projectile attack. And I always look for my own weaknesses as well as my opponents.
This is a great video! I want to be a good player, but I'm just not there yet. That segment explaining the brain functions and chemicals really put things into perspective for me. From now on, my goal is to have fun playing. Th his video deserves more views. I'm going to share it with the few smashers I know.
might be a year late but that should always be the goal (or at least A goal!). at the end of the day, smash bros is a game, and people like you and me are meant to have fun!
I’ve seen tons of these “how to get better” from top players, but none of those compare to the simplicity of actually useful concepts touched on this video. Thank you
Love this intersection of learning smash and psychology/physiology of the brain! I also appreciate your logic about not rematching those tbaggers. When my ego gets involved, it's hard to let those guys go, but I appreciate your logic that justifies the healthier approach
Came to get some general advice and tips and came out with a new perspective of fun and learning without constantly comparing myself to people better than me
That's how I try to teach my friends by not going to hard on them and giving them feedback, it feels great when you see them actually improve and start giving you challenges
Man thank you! I get so frustrated with this game. I do good. Then I do bad. This taught me just to be chill with it and not worry about winning every time.
The whole brain part about being bodied and your brain shuts off all logical thinking is so true lol. One I have experienced it myself and two you see even top players facing other top players when they get 3 stocked one game, you see a lot of them between games take a deep breath and try to reset their brain/nerves.
Honestly, I can't have fun doing anything. Being treated like rubbish every day really making my vision gray, watching this video is just making me want to laugh, and I love it, thank you for opening my eye. A like as a token of my gratitude.
this made me feel better actually, i try to win matches in online but i get bodied every time… i feel like every match i got was someone who was a lot better than me
I just wanna say i appreciate you reminding us that we're individual people who need to learn in our own individual ways. My bf is really good at Smash and can learn from watching replays and top players easily. And i think we both forget that i just can't do that (brain isn't fast enough to process what's going on) so i can never seem to get better cus i can't learn the same way he does It's something i need to remember more often, and thank you for this video ❤
It makes it not fun. I pretty much quit going to locals for this reason. Everything was getting expensive and the benefits of the community just weren't there anymore
@@Matanumitip: go to locals only to play friendlies and watch other matches. Don't register for the oturnaments. That way you're not actually spending money and you learn from everyone else. I did this a couple of times before the pandemic hit. Edit: tournaments*
My favorite stat is to figure out what moves the opponent spams and patterns. I just try to take all those options away and they end up having nothing offensively.
Fantastic take on the psychological and biological aspects of how your brain works in relations to playing and getting better at the game. Not what I expected when I clicked on this! 10/10!
I've been playing Smash Bros. since day one and I consider myself a pretty good player but when Ultimate came out I got pretty humbled. I hold my own most of the time but the biggest issue for me in my matches since the first Smash is I don't block enough. I dodge more than block and now trying to actually block more which I've seen some improvements lol.
I really appreciate you bringing it to the brain in an easy-to-understand way. Question - did you do research to film this video, or do you have some training/studying that you just know all this? Either way, great video
At my school that allow me to bring my switch and after school my 2 friends and I play all day until I leave and we’re all pretty equally matched but not that far off that you can’t tell who is the best out of all of us but like he said “find someone who challenges you not dominant you” and I understood this because at first one of my friends who mains Kirby no matter what I couldn’t be his Kirby but after fighting against him for like 2 months I’m now able to rival his Kirby and sometimes dominant him.
Currently I can't go to locals so I need to train online. However, I'm now at the GSP sweetspot where I win 1 or 2 games and then encounter complete input lag or camping opponents I can't really find a good way against. It's like a loophole. Especially the lag is a problem sometimes because my playstyle (pyra mythra) is pretty pressure, 50/50, tech chase, frametrap heavy and I do stuff like wavelands constantly. It becomes extremely hard to pull that off sometimes
As someone really interested in psychology and also sucks at SSBU, this was informative and really helpful!! Thank you so much for this vid! Insta subscribe ^_^
One of the Best advice that isn’t often given is to ensure you fight against every character and learn all their move sets. What I mean is thenuances behind all the characters move sets. In other words,, the range, the hit boxes, the delays and character immunity frames. It makes a huge difference, knowing what every character is capable of doing regardless of what your current skill level is.
For me playing smash bros is really something I try to find entertaining like, I want to improve so bad and I just feel like I need to be better do better, as a sephiroth main I do find this hard, I am not as good as my locals in playing smash bros and I do try to practice mostly because I like playing as sephiroth, but it sometimes just feels so discouraging to see myself lose over and over and over and for the people I play against to only say "you shield too much" or say just small remarking comments which I do understand they're part of the coaching but I just feel like I can't never get to improve, this video has made feel better on how I view smash, perhaps when I am able to pay for online I can find better people to coach me
tldr have fun with it and the results will follow, you'll get better the more you play, and the only way you'll want to play more is if you're enjoying the process
I feel attacked as me maining Zelda xD !! We have actually huge brains!! But recently i have to main Corrin to discover other gameplays, so i'm here to learn.
I like how he's talking about being the best and competitions, I'm just here bc I like to beat up my friends in that game and ofc unlock all the cool characters
“You’re more than welcome to use multiple characters, or even half the roster if you feel like it” Makes me feel better about wondering why I feel good playing as well over half the roster.
The amount of medical neurology explained to learning how to adapt to video game skills within this video astonished me. I don't really see many other gaming guides that dive deep into how actually the brain learns skill. Just like learning other skills, consistency is key and sleep too. Reaction speed training and building a stronger average brain also greatly helps. You think reading books can actually increase the brain function for video games as well?
I wanted to add that amiibo can be another way to learn to a certain extent. If an amiibo learned too much to a point were it does stuff that isn't human level, then that's too much. But if the amiibo is starting out and you're starting out, then it's another great way to get better at the game as well.
I play super casually: My friend brings his Switch over once a month and we play countless matches in a day. I managed to get okay with Incineroar. I beat his Falco twice in a row and he is very good at both Smash and fighting games in general. If I get one stock off of him I consider that a win. I only really improved when he explained shorthopping and we tinkered with Incineroar’s recovery (you have to side B to face the stage before using up B when facing away from the stage) so everything you’re talking about does apply but tbh I was looking for more technical things I can use when we play.
Reviewing vods of yourself and others playing is imo probably the most important thing you can do to improve, other than asking meaningful questions when practicing with someone better than you. Unfortunately nobody knows how to do it correctly though. Just because you win a game or set doesn't mean you are playing correctly so it's best to save the vod of most if not all your games to see commonly made mistakes. Then watch vods of varying levels of players, people just at weeklies who aren't ranked as well as ranked players, using your character and see what many of them do that maybe you aren't doing but should be doing. All this as well as joining a character speficic discord is probably going to net you the biggest return as in there you can find so much information on your character like flow charts that have all been labbed out by hundreds of people so you don't have to, and just many things like that. Also there's no point of just playing a bunch and having fun when you want to improve, as that will never have you improve and will definitely just make you worse since you don't know what you are doing and you'll just form terrible habits because of that.
And of course the most important thing is that you have fun with the game. If you aren't having fun then why are you even playing? People who aren't having fun with the game are the ones who go 0-2 every weekly then go home and complain that the games sucks, it's an awful game, and then they just end up quitting. If you truly have fun and love the game then when you lose and go 0-2 don't just pack up and just leave, instead you should stick around and ask the people you played for tips and things they noticed while playing you. Ask your local pr players for friendlies more times than not they'll agree, but don't think that because you are playing a high ranked player that it's going to magically make you better because it won't. You need to approach it correctly by asking questions that are very specific about your character or certain situation. Although don't take their word is absolute fact instead you should throw your own idea at them and challenge their idea with questions. Improving takes awhile but it takes even longer if you don't know how to go about it.
@@Lunar0_2 I couldn’t agree more with you. 2 years ago I was having fun with the game and I kept improving. But I quit smash and when I came back I wasn’t having as much fun as I used to and I wasn’t as good. However, I’m starting to like smash a bit more and I can tell you I’m improving again.
If you feel yourself getting overloaded after a couple intense matches I normally think to myself that the opponent is feeling the same and just as stressed (probably more because I play some seriously scary characters that will kill you if you mess up) which normally helps bring my mindset back to a more focused one
Mostly everyday for like 1-2 years I've wnt to school and at lunch play smash bros with 2-3 friends and usually get killed in minutes, but it was fun and taught me some basic things... like don't let a person charge, or don't use the same attack over again (I learned these the hard way but it was still fun)
In matches vs friends we sometimes try to learn frame data by stopping mid match if something whiffs in a weird way and checking it out. like ICs short hop forward air just being able to slice through steves head with 0 impact/effect. Hammers go right through 2/3 of his face and doesnt "touch" him lol. we managed to replicate it consistently lol
I have a friend who is a pro player, and the best way for me to improve was always against him. He begins dominating me everytime, but i always adapt to his game real fast and always become better. Watching us play is like watch a intense anime fight. :)
make sure to take breaks, stretch etc, even if you aren’t tired or anything, you’re probably on autopilot after playing the game for extensive periods of time!
The main reason I watched this video and am looking stuff up online about this game, is cause I NEVER block. Ever. It's just not in my muscle memory. Even though I've been playing Smash since the N64 days, blocking was always an extra thing to keep track of and with everything else there is to worry about, I just never did it. I do dodge, but even that is done very rarely. So I need to learn how to block and dodge effectively and add it to my skill set. If I don't, there are certain encounters in Adventure Mode that I simply can't do. I find it insanely difficulty beating any 4 or 5 star encounters, and even 3 star encounters are hard depending on the modifiers. Also, I think I need to use a different controller, since the Joycon controller the Switch comes with just doesn't feel right for a fighting game like this.
I’ve been playing this game for a while and I always wish I was the number one best player worldwide so i really learned a lot more from this video so I’m gonna keep on grinding intill I’m the best and everyone is good in their own way

Thank you green dog
From my personal experience what has helped me as a fox main
1. Watching light
2. Watching tons of guides on fox
3. Training lab: techniques, combos, reworking habits
4. Attending in game tournaments or playing with similar skilled in person.
5 and most importantly, AWARENESS. Learn your opponents and learn yourself. Don't go into autopilot mode, but be aware of how you're being punished and how you can punish your opponent.
Also pay attention to your opponents bad habits as well.
Say "I need to stop doing x he keeps catching me on that."
Have fun guys

“How is your local scene?”
“My friend is in elite smash with an eighth of the roster”
This video has been so helpful my guy! You deserve more views!
And less dislikes. 58 is a lot for a good guide that can help anyone.

I learned so much (idk how, since I'm a Zelda main with no brain powers)
really nice video! having fun is way too understated as a fact but this video perfectly explains it!

I wanted to add that amiibo can be another way to learn to a certain extent. If an amiibo learned too much to a point were it does stuff that isn't human level, then that's too much. But if the amiibo is starting out and you're starting out, then it's another great way to get better at the game as well.
Hey hey hey! What's the problem with Zelda main's? (Honest question, because I main her)
This helped a lot Thanks! I play Shulk.
I play super casually: My friend brings his Switch over once a month and we play countless matches in a day. I managed to get okay with Incineroar. I beat his Falco twice in a row and he is very good at both Smash and fighting games in general. If I get one stock off of him I consider that a win. I only really improved when he explained shorthopping and we tinkered with Incineroar’s recovery (you have to side B to face the stage before using up B when facing away from the stage) so everything you’re talking about does apply but tbh I was looking for more technical things I can use when we play.
damn i needed this pep talk
Reviewing vods of yourself and others playing is imo probably the most important thing you can do to improve, other than asking meaningful questions when practicing with someone better than you. Unfortunately nobody knows how to do it correctly though. Just because you win a game or set doesn't mean you are playing correctly so it's best to save the vod of most if not all your games to see commonly made mistakes. Then watch vods of varying levels of players, people just at weeklies who aren't ranked as well as ranked players, using your character and see what many of them do that maybe you aren't doing but should be doing. All this as well as joining a character speficic discord is probably going to net you the biggest return as in there you can find so much information on your character like flow charts that have all been labbed out by hundreds of people so you don't have to, and just many things like that. Also there's no point of just playing a bunch and having fun when you want to improve, as that will never have you improve and will definitely just make you worse since you don't know what you are doing and you'll just form terrible habits because of that.
And of course the most important thing is that you have fun with the game. If you aren't having fun then why are you even playing? People who aren't having fun with the game are the ones who go 0-2 every weekly then go home and complain that the games sucks, it's an awful game, and then they just end up quitting. If you truly have fun and love the game then when you lose and go 0-2 don't just pack up and just leave, instead you should stick around and ask the people you played for tips and things they noticed while playing you. Ask your local pr players for friendlies more times than not they'll agree, but don't think that because you are playing a high ranked player that it's going to magically make you better because it won't. You need to approach it correctly by asking questions that are very specific about your character or certain situation. Although don't take their word is absolute fact instead you should throw your own idea at them and challenge their idea with questions. Improving takes awhile but it takes even longer if you don't know how to go about it.
@@Lunar0_2 I couldn’t agree more with you. 2 years ago I was having fun with the game and I kept improving. But I quit smash and when I came back I wasn’t having as much fun as I used to and I wasn’t as good. However, I’m starting to like smash a bit more and I can tell you I’m improving again.
If you feel yourself getting overloaded after a couple intense matches I normally think to myself that the opponent is feeling the same and just as stressed (probably more because I play some seriously scary characters that will kill you if you mess up) which normally helps bring my mindset back to a more focused one
Lmfao very rarely do I get called out on my shit on video, and even less while watching smash 😂 but 9:03 pretty much got me while I just sat down 🤣
okay this is a great general guide, but when was it specific to Smash? I was waiting for a run-down of edge guarding and whatnot 😂
Red Gerran: How do you get better at smash
Me: you don’t
Red Gerran: practice
Me: that too
Mostly everyday for like 1-2 years I've wnt to school and at lunch play smash bros with 2-3 friends and usually get killed in minutes, but it was fun and taught me some basic things... like don't let a person charge, or don't use the same attack over again (I learned these the hard way but it was still fun)
Thanks for the tips, ima just tryna beat the guys in the Stream Arenas haha
interesting approach
In matches vs friends we sometimes try to learn frame data by stopping mid match if something whiffs in a weird way and checking it out. like ICs short hop forward air just being able to slice through steves head with 0 impact/effect. Hammers go right through 2/3 of his face and doesnt "touch" him lol. we managed to replicate it consistently lol
Bro gave me an entire life lesson 😭
I have a friend who is a pro player, and the best way for me to improve was always against him. He begins dominating me everytime, but i always adapt to his game real fast and always become better. Watching us play is like watch a intense anime fight. :)
That's like getting free coaching! 😂 Glad you have a great source to help you improve.
Dude brought brain science to a smash bros vid... and I couldn't be more pleased. *like* *follow*
Really thanks for this video
make sure to take breaks, stretch etc, even if you aren’t tired or anything, you’re probably on autopilot after playing the game for extensive periods of time!
The main reason I watched this video and am looking stuff up online about this game, is cause I NEVER block. Ever. It's just not in my muscle memory. Even though I've been playing Smash since the N64 days, blocking was always an extra thing to keep track of and with everything else there is to worry about, I just never did it. I do dodge, but even that is done very rarely. So I need to learn how to block and dodge effectively and add it to my skill set. If I don't, there are certain encounters in Adventure Mode that I simply can't do. I find it insanely difficulty beating any 4 or 5 star encounters, and even 3 star encounters are hard depending on the modifiers. Also, I think I need to use a different controller, since the Joycon controller the Switch comes with just doesn't feel right for a fighting game like this.
I’ve been playing this game for a while and I always wish I was the number one best player worldwide so i really learned a lot more from this video so I’m gonna keep on grinding intill I’m the best and everyone is good in their own way
Remember me when you are the best player 🙏🙏🙏
@@Pooglez-gw4ki thank you 🙏
Amazing video man
Ty for this
