poppt has been talking about finding the perfect balance between analytical and entertaining, and i have to say this is it. this may be my favorite poppt1 video to date. keep it up! 🧡
It’s crazy how effectively he just demonstrated the importance of your mental game in everything you do. He lost that last game at the opponent reveal screen and it’s not just because Steve is broken. Steve is broken, but Poppt definitely could have won that game if he locked in similarly to when he played Spammage’s IC’s.
@@masked6326 I really doubt it but to each their own. Dedede isn’t really a fundies based character. And that Steve was definitely more than decent, doing very consistent 2-3 block NILs. Being able to combo better than 99.8% of Steve players. Plus with Steve being banned in Australia I doubt poppt1 knows the matchup all that well. And I guarantee poppt has only ever played Dedede in world of light or during iron man’s.
I like to think of it as establishing a rhythm and then hitting on different beats. That way you can choose options more than once just on different timings so it makes mixups a lot easier
Well a lot of the best martial artists were also good a t dancing since the skills translated very well. Timing/Pacing, endurance, strength, and distancing were all important in the ungada-bug ads smash warfare days. There is a theory even that women like to pick men who can dance well because it is a good indication that they can fight well, and men don’t like dancing if they don’t know how because it shows they can’t fight.
Easy to say from a high point of view, but the mentality went out the window as soon as Steve showed up. It'd be interesting to see you apply the same techniques to facing Steve - I reckon you got it!
2:53 you have to manually get your kart back by hitting A, although I think sometimes multi hits will automatically give his kart back(?) Also if you hit Jr out of his up b with something that doesn’t send him into tumble (like the late hit of a nair or something) then he won’t be able to get his cart back at all
16:00 I don't know why but the final Steve part was just too funny. I mean, I understand that he's banned in Australia due to his extreme controversy of winning tons of tourneys but sometimes, it is a bit fun to see the reactions of Steve kinda being the busted mess he is. He's not fun to play against, that I get, but the way he broke Poppt's shield and crafting the big F is something not to laugh about, in a good way. Anyway, we are hoping we can still do better by defeating Steve as much as possible
Poppt talking about reading this book and the main takeaway was just "stay chill, get the kill". The secret was within you the whole time, you just had to accept it
this di in my top 3 poppt1 videos of all time, great job i love the balance between advice and entertainment (i also really like musashi so that helps )
Mountain/River: When the opt is rushing and unfocused on style then stand strong on your own, be unmoving in your way. River/Mountain: If Opt is unwilling to change to improve then rush them with flow of your improvements. The book speaks on improving on your own efforts to meet all challenges instead of meeting 1.
It's really interesting what you said with the ding boom timing thing because it's really similar to how music works. I'd suggest you read something about music (stuff like odd time signatures, sixteenth notes and tempo changes) because it literally is the same thing. If you start to recognise it in songs you will start to recognise it in smash too. Most music is written in 4/4 time signature which is what we're used to and it's the basic timing in smash, but listen to any song in 3/4 and you will understand
This the second or third smash youtuber talking about meditation helping with this game. havent played much online but will be soon. im guessing this game is just so mentally taxing sometimes you need to find your center lol. more power to you bro.
Honestly, this approach to Smash is super super good Smash in general is a mental game more than anything (at least competitively), so it only makes sense to learn how to mind game your opponent by reading from a really skilled IRL fighter
Poppt, when you decided that you 'weren't comfortable with the remaining characters', ( 15:50 ), you decided to lose. You have no reason to doubt yourself so. Love, Miyamoto Misashi
I‘ve been doing yoga for so many years now and you said some really good (and for myself true) things. Pranayama is key. And the ending was so helarious !
Steve: combos Dedede Poppt: OH mY gOd THiS IS BRoKEN Steve: Has a kill confirm on Dedede Poppt: *windows crash* Like Steve's good but you can accept that it's a combo character vs Dedede and you'd prob lose to like a Bayonetta or smth as well
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this was one of poppt1’s best videos! I’ve spent over $15,000 on my life coach over the course of a year and a half and we go into breathing and meditating a lot! If you’re serious about wanting to unlock that superpower more and going into the next upgrade I’d love to chat
It doesn't matter if steve is banned in tournaments, you are playing in casual multiplayer where anyone can do whatever they want and that is not abiding by tournament rules. It isn't win a tournament with every character in a row, its win online with every character in a row.

No way, you watch Poppt videos too? That’s so crazy I never would’ve thought you know him. Love your podcast
@@amirPenton yeah its crazy to think that hopcat even knows who poppt is
poppt has been talking about finding the perfect balance between analytical and entertaining, and i have to say this is it. this may be my favorite poppt1 video to date. keep it up! 🧡
Agreed
him rambling about being sucked off while on the toilet??
Poppt1: *Sees a steve* *immediately forgets everything from his duel book*
That Steve was cracked

He lost that last game at the opponent reveal screen and it’s not just because Steve is broken. Steve is broken, but Poppt definitely could have won that game if he locked in similarly to when he played Spammage’s IC’s.
i think dedede steve is close to unwinnable lol
That Steve was also insanely good, way better than Poppt’s Ddd
@@mysteriousmuffin6017 It’d obviously be hard, but my point is that he didn’t even give himself a chance with his mindset.
@@casual_ssb3282 The Steve definitely seemed decent, but I still believe Poppt’s fundies and mental game woulda got him the win if he really tried.
@@masked6326 I really doubt it but to each their own. Dedede isn’t really a fundies based character. And that Steve was definitely more than decent, doing very consistent 2-3 block NILs.

You won with your top 10 characters, I’d say you did pretty dang well. I really enjoyed the philosophical conversation
I would say that is the easy part. It is the winning with the rest of the cast that makes this challenge hard
An Ironman where the losses that happened because of steve don't count sounds fun to watch, because you can SD when you match into a steve player
@Poppt1 it's sad that this is a better idea than half of your discords video ideas
I love how the game he lost was the one where he basically through all the advice out the window.
Steve is bullshit
The fact that the words Iron Man aren’t in the title scares me
Ik I was so confused
14:47
My brain is more like "ew don't ever take your phone out while using the bathroom" 😶

It’s something you do in boxing aswel, establish a rhythm through jabs and feints and then switch it up
The important ding boom interruption
Easy to say from a high point of view, but the mentality went out the window as soon as Steve showed up. It'd be interesting to see you apply the same techniques to facing Steve - I reckon you got it!
Poppt was calm and determined............ until steve appeared
7:25 you bullied that man so hard
never stop the smash bros content
That Steve player was something else
Steve is busted

I really REALLY loved the vibe of this video, between nice plays and life advices, thanks poppt !
Poppt1: "you can always figure it out, it's fine."
Also Poppt1: "WHAT THE FU.."
Lmao!
- The book of five rings
- meditation
STEVE!!!
Jordan throws everything out the window and goes mental lol.
Poppt talking about reading this book and the main takeaway was just "stay chill, get the kill". The secret was within you the whole time, you just had to accept it
I’m sorry but that Steve shield break was HILARIOUS!
Steve players: Idk why people hate my character so much, they're just bad at adapting
16:45 yeah bro, uh huh
this di in my top 3 poppt1 videos of all time, great job i love the balance between advice and entertainment (i also really like musashi so that helps )

The book speaks on improving on your own efforts to meet all challenges instead of meeting 1.
I thought it merely meant "don't try to beat your opponent at their own game", honestly. They'll usually have more experience than you.
I have a kickboxing fight in a couple weeks. I will read the book
16:49 For some reason the funniest part of that for me is that he definitely practiced that
"stay chill get the kill" - Miyamoto Musashi, 60-0 Samurai
Love the balance between pro gameplay and philosophy, wish I could be so good at either of those things, much less both at the same time lol
Ew steve
Kinda ironic that Steve was the most anticipated character for smash and is now the most hated😂
It's really interesting what you said with the ding boom timing thing because it's really similar to how music works. I'd suggest you read something about music (stuff like odd time signatures, sixteenth notes and tempo changes) because it literally is the same thing.

This is actually a really cool take. Smash Bros. definitely has a rhythm to it and I feel like music theory could definitely improve ones game overall
I call this video “winning the right way with poppt1”
I REALLY like this video. Looking at strategy and tactics in smash through the lens of philosophical lessons and such. Keep it up
This the second or third smash youtuber talking about meditation helping with this game. havent played much online but will be soon. im guessing this game is just so mentally taxing sometimes you need to find your center lol. more power to you bro.
Petition for the last match against a banned character not counting:
16:45 you might have read musashi but this steve main like every other steve mains read The Art Of War because they were probably a technoblade fan
so basically when you mention the thing about staying calm you literally mean "Stay Chill, Get the Kill" lol
That Steve was the river AND the mountain. He broke the dam that is Poppt1
The steve though
I might have to read this book, Poppt is making it sound so interesting
Honestly, this approach to Smash is super super good
Smash in general is a mental game more than anything (at least competitively), so it only makes sense to learn how to mind game your opponent by reading from a really skilled IRL fighter
8:57 Pretty sure that quote translates to "I'm going high"
Poppt, when you decided that you 'weren't comfortable with the remaining characters', ( 15:50 ), you decided to lose.
You have no reason to doubt yourself so.
Love, Miyamoto Misashi
Nows the time to study that book even more and get an iron man with all 89 characters 😂
All it takes is one steve
i actually loved this so much tbh, i’ve missed the youtube videos
Poppt1, thank so much for this video. Watching you play and talking about the book actually made me better.
The title did not lie, it was infact awful
I was confused until the last battle..
I‘ve been doing yoga for so many years now and you said some really good (and for myself true) things. Pranayama is key. And the ending was so helarious !
NOT THE FORBIDDEN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE OF FORCING YOUR OPPONENT TO BUFFER AN OPTION
Steve was cooking
I love how we just had a nice 10 matches of tranquility, calm, and meditation and then suddenly
Steve
0:50 okay I'm not far in but that shit was hilarious
I love how equal every fight has been and then comes a Steve
Steve: combos Dedede
Poppt: OH mY gOd THiS IS BRoKEN
Steve: Has a kill confirm on Dedede
Poppt: *windows crash*
Like Steve's good but you can accept that it's a combo character vs Dedede and you'd prob lose to like a Bayonetta or smth as well
me at my grandma's funeral 🏃♀️
me when poppt1 iron man💃

That Steve was actually insane with the tech skill
Steve is also insanely broken
It doesn't matter if steve is banned in tournaments, you are playing in casual multiplayer where anyone can do whatever they want and that is not abiding by tournament rules. It isn't win a tournament with every character in a row, its win online with every character in a row.
THE STEVE THOUGH THEY'RE BETTER THAN ACOLA???
10 years later
poppt-“I promise you guys this is the last time in doing this challenge!”
Sun Tsu once said in the Art of War "For the determined foe who's at first unshaken, bring out the skillet and toss them some bacon."
officially started meditating :D
It’s so funny how quickly he lost the plot when he saw Steve lol.
He didn’t lose just the plot, he lost the brainstorming doc too 😂
Half way through, definitely one of my favourite episodes. Might buy that boom
Miyamoto Musashi had the same energy as Zack's "5 easy ways to beat your friends" series.
mentality chats poppt is my favourite poppt
when you saw it's steve, you lost your inner warrior and so you lost, so sad especially since you been talking about this 5 Minutes earlier.
Bro casually talks about other things while three stocking that Ridley LMAO
If a move that doesn't put into tumble is used on bowser jr. after his up special is used, he doesn't get another clown car
Oddly enough, his description of meditation made sense
I can just feel things sucking me.-Poppt1 2023 14:20
Even samurai knowledge can’t save deedeedee Steve
The entire thesis for this video went out the window and Steve showed up lmao 😂
I dont think Miyamoto Musashi anticipated cuboid digital men hovering midair. On to the next philosopher I guess...
At the start i got scared that he would start with the "ding booms" again
Jordan I absolutely love your hot takes, and I totally agree with literally everything you said. Thanks for reminding me to meditate.
Great video and great advice i personally need to get into meditation, all i ever hear is amazing things about it.
This is like unironically informative
Bro Jordan at the end is literally me every time I play online. Just %$&#@ing all night long 😂
Jordan got sucked by his computer and is now finding a way to say it without sounding weird
you can get bjr cart back if your attack is strong enough and then you press A
Poppit has found that good shiz and he wont tell us where it is.
Let’s go iron man!! Poppt online is so hype!
I find the kind of mentality you're going for here is really helpful while playing hollow knight.
I wonder what year it will be when poppt1 finally beats this iron man challenge, he will have to beat it before his mind officially breaks
He is showing serious signs of an addiction 😂
I need the audio file for poppt saying “WE’RE GOING TO WAR”
I love how the game Poppt lost was the only one where he didn't follow his own advice
Steve is bullshit
7:30 Kyra can’t catch a break
12:28 So you're telling me you failed to edgeguard Sopo as Pichu?
One of my favorite topics you've talked about
I teach people how to look outside the box and open peoples minds and I never talk about meditating but I give people almost the same energy
14:20 Pause on that mah boy 💀
Dam I remember vsing tracker when he was just learning block combos
Good content man.
Steve is why I don't play online anymore
" things just sucking me " 💀
14:19 You could feel what.
