As much as I agree with the sentiment of looking towards successful players and trying to apply techniques they do, I feel like the context you're giving paints a picture where people can easily find themselves in a loop of "new things" without actually knowing if they are benefitting their gameplay or not. This process you've described is a great way to create a feedback loop of creating habits without purpose. Whenever you get comfortable applying the things you've learned into basic gameplay, your next step should be to review your own gameplay and look at where the things you implemented were successful and where they weren't. This context is ESSENTIAL for actually painting a picture for developing effective gameplans that aren't layer one options. Once you have added new options to the melting pot, your goal for actually improving from it is to piece together what combinations of them are effective in what scenarios and with what adaptations/conditioning in play.
@@elijmin2 The video is great 👍 Definitely would be a good point to include that mindful practice is important. Most players should be smart enough to want to understand when and why they should do something they see higher level players do rather than do it because, "Well Shadic does it" 🤷♂️
One more thing I would recommend peeps are practicing in Bo5 style, and do small breaks after every Bo5. Condition your brain to go full focus in a Bo5 setting, so it focuses when it matters. If you play nonstop for an hour, your focus might come and diminish quickly. But ofc figure out whats best for you.
Another great video, thanks elijmin! Please keep making these instructional videos you've been releasing as of late, they are helping my personal practice habits out very much!
While my VoD reviews are based off of looking at my own and my opponent's habits, I never thought of pausing the VoD mid-match in order to try and guess what the top level player would do next. Hmm...
This video literally just reminded me how i used to train. Best part is , u gain a lot more stamina , and if ur always thinking, ur gonna learn faster than anything else and u can adapt mid match faster. Thats the best part about doing it consistently and constantly
Something I have taught myself is if you need to start implementing something in your gameplay it will only happen if you do it. You have to force yourself to do what ever tech cause you can learn how to do something without doing in a game
Yo thanks for this, I play sonic and I often spend time watching sonix sets and try to put them into my gameplay but it dosent work most of the time. I just do combos and tech in training mode and not doing anything else. (Also, I dont play campy) also new sub
I really don't have a set practice for training my main, although it just takes time and patients. pretty much what makes me a better player through WIFI is experience and VOD review my games through the replay system to make sure what I can improve. I main Mac, (secondary Doc, Mario, and Fox). sure I abuse their combo potential and power, but the main reason I am consistent is based on Experienced through peoples play style and their habits.
2 things I feel should've been mentioned here: You should not be scared of edgeguarding and practice it! I've seen a lot of players just not go offstage because they don't want to be cheesed, I should also point out to the new players that teching is a skill you must have during high level smash ultimate gameplay! I wouldn't also do every move with the subconscious thing you mentioned because something like instinctually up b out of shield with cloud can be really predictable so also try to mix up stuff like that
I really wish I wasn’t stupid rn. I’m finding it hard to understand most of the steps after vod reviews 😅. I’m sorry to ask but do you think you could give a simplified explanation, it doesn’t have to be long.
0:43 ok good idea but what if the best player of my character is cheeks at the game so i literally only see him lose because he does the worst things in the worst spot (cough cough Kyon)
I’m a Link player. My big debate is who to analyze at a deeper level. Prand Grix is more recent but T has better results overall. Edit: forgot to mention Kyon and Bernie.
I would say that u should start VOD reviewing urself and seeing what u do well and ur habits and what u don't do well as u need to learn first ur BNBs and kill confirms and then learn general neutral and advantage then to play disadvantage. As for elite smash i don't think it's that good unless ur already a good player u should play with ppl who can give u feedback. I feel ur givn advice to ppl who already kno how to play the game.
"If you get 1% better everyday, by the end of the year you'll be x3.5 stronger" Well AcTuAlLy after some calculations 🤓improving everyday by 1% will make you x3.5 in about 127 days aka 4 months, and in a year you'd be x37.41 STRONGER (!!!)🤓
"If you get 1% better every day by the end of the year you will be 3.5 times better" Someone needs to get out of training mode and go review high school math 😆

W comment.
Yes you’re 100% right, thank you for the advice/support. I will make sure to add this to a follow up video when I make another one about practice

@@elijmin2 Your video was very well made regardless. I always love seeing people tackle Instructional smash content.
Probably the only Smash RUclipsr who cuts the bullshit and gets straight to the point. Well done!
Hey toad_rex! THANK YOU

Yes Cold War Mindset is good practice
Yeah I noticed that when I play excessively I get much worse
Great thinking
“Pause and guess method”; Been doing that since I was a kid, that’s a very useful term to refer to it as. Will use in future coaching. Good video!
Dude this is so well made!!
You're really direct with your points and make the points really easy to understand and practically use :)
You’re my hero. Thank you 🫡
Im loving the videos recently, keep it up

Stamina is key.
As a very low end professional player I can confirm even at the level of playing casual or in my own case playing on a school team this does work
Thank you for the confirmation
Third new backround in a row. I wonder what visual affects artist Elijmin has trapped in his basement😂
🤫🤫
Help me

Literally Goku vs vegeta type training lol

me:i can't even find a main
I don’t need to watch aegis games since they take no skill, but I feel like watching shadic and neo helped my corrin at least a bit
Really good advice
I really wish I wasn’t stupid rn. I’m finding it hard to understand most of the steps after vod reviews 😅. I’m sorry to ask but do you think you could give a simplified explanation, it doesn’t have to be long.
Basically after vod review, just go into elite smash and try your best to copy what the top player did.
0:43 ok good idea but what if the best player of my character is cheeks at the game so i literally only see him lose because he does the worst things in the worst spot (cough cough Kyon)

Cloud, my man!
Edit: why does no one main male corrin literally only my sis does 😭

I got you
Well done.
Good video
What if i play icies
Hey.

Elijmin are you the best player for my character
I’m top 5 shulk according to schustat

ok

"If you get 1% better every day by the end of the year you will be 3.5 times better"
Someone needs to get out of training mode and go review high school math 😆
At this rate you'll get -1% better every day from all this bickering
Stay humble and get practicing
Might even improve your peach 😂
You could've been training instead writing this comment go get back to work
Go back to studying
