I love how Armada is dropping some beautiful knowledge, but he still sounds like a robot trying to convince everyone that he's a human. "We are all human beings, we all learn learn like human beings, even me, who is also a human being"
Fantastic video. 16 years ago I never would have thought that some cartoon fighter on a Best Buy shelf would be able to induce so much introspection. The game is learned through the self, but also, the self can be learned through the game.
0:55 do things that test your patience 3:45 meditate to deal with your emtions. Then try to analyse situations a bit. Try to visualise success make it easier to realise 5:59 feel good in your life helps in doing things. Take Time to Care of yourself. That s literaly applied stoicism. Thank you!
Amazing advice as always, Armada. Both inside the game and in life in general. Always working on improving my patience in all parts of my life, and letting stress go when I can. Thank you for being an outstanding model for our community!
I love Armada's point about patience. Both in Smash and IRL I need to be more patient with people and I hope that they'll be patient with me in return. Definitely my biggest obstacle rn. Working on it atm and I hope to overcome it.
Thank you for making this Armada. I have anger issues, and I can’t help but admire how you seem to always have a calm mind even during your biggest upsets. Patience is indeed key for sure, and I don’t really have a social life, but I hope to see to a better future. Thank you again, and keep up the good work man.
Armada, you are so insightful, everything you said is correct, and i click with your last point, if you arent happy with yourself, you cant progress in the things you want to, and then it gets you frustated. The depression is a big factor, and im happy you could manage it. I hope i could manage it soon, keep it up Adam :)
TL;DW 3 Tips to improve at the game, outside of the game 1: Engage in activities that test your patience. (Be patient and work on patience) 2: Meditation 3: Work on improving your life. Take care of yourself and feel better.
ANDDDD YOU'RE A FFVI FAN??! ARMADA, YOU ARE BY FAR MY FAVORITE SMASHER OF ALL TIME, NOT EVEN JUST THAT, BUT LITERALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE SMASH COMMUNITY YOU ARE LEGEND
Dude I love all this Life wisdom, yeah all of this apply to competitive gaming, but I actually related it to my life by a ton. Thanks man, I can understand why you where a teacher.
I love this! I recently started taking deep breaths in between stocks of close matches and have been a lot more clutch because of it, coming from a classic choker. I saw leffen do it at smash and splash. Teaching things outside of smash that make you better is awesome, I hope there is more content like this in the future.
I don't really play Melee a lot but watching players like you and other top players helps me out a lot when it comes to movement and tech skill. I've always had patience playing other fighters but I never actually took the time to study how the game should be played
Gotta say, your content the last 6-12 months has been top-notch. As a Christian Smasher, this all resonated with me. Much of what you said applies to my daily life and should definitely apply to how I look at my competitive nature. Thanks again for the motivation, both in game and in daily life.
Asdf Sdfsdf a lot of the "treat others how you want to be treated," the patience with people and meditation. Those are things that are common in the Christian life. One thing that I struggle with, as Armada brings up, is losing grasp of my emotions. Him bringing up those things made me think about the Christian walk and how to implement those things in my competitive life as well.
WHAT IS THE CREDITS SONG I've checked the description in a bunch of other vids and stuff but it all takes me to Jazz Jackrabbit, which is not the right one. anyone wanna help me out?
Armada, are you aware of any specific meditation guides that are useful for applying to a tournament setting? Very very helpful video. I'm a huge fan of you talking about things outside of the actual game itself that can help with improvement. Alot of smashers who are looking to get better, like myself, can benefit greatly from applying your information from videos like these. Thank you so much!!
Do you need fast hands to play, or is there a technique to make your hands faster to get precise timings on movement, combos, and other things? If that makes sense
It’s all practice my man. Even just for something like wavedashing, EVERYONE had to practice even that at on point. And that’s the amazing thing about smash, even something as basic as wavedashing you have to practice in order to implement it, nothing in this game is just “pick up and go”
Also, mainly focus on just playing a good neutral, and figuring out how to extend your combos the best you can. DO NOT get stuck trying to just practice specific, technical things, that will only slow you down. Speed and technical stuff comes in time but having a good neutral alone can win you sets.
Nemesis lemme guess u got shield-grabbed and back thrown LUL. First of all don’t get put in that situation and second even if ur off stage u have options and mix-ups so stop complaining
When smash tips are lowkey life tips
I love this post. it was a very gentle dip into it. very zen.
Especially the element of patience he discusses
Smash is life bruh
I love how Armada is dropping some beautiful knowledge, but he still sounds like a robot trying to convince everyone that he's a human. "We are all human beings, we all learn learn like human beings, even me, who is also a human being"
😂😂😂😂
*top players hate it!*
*the one step to become the next armada!*
But Mang0 ins't known for his patience as far as I understand. And I highly doubt he meditates at all...
Wesley777i my b, I'll change it to armada. I made the comment before watching the vid
Mango has talked about "thinking about water" when he plays, which seems pretty meditative to me
Is this a porn hub joke?
Superedgyname RIPTHETEAM Its the experts hate him find out how he made £50000 in a week with this one simple trick meme
So that's why Dr Pee Pee was so great. Doctors always have lots of patients (wahh wahh)
Wahh Wahh indeed, my friend.
*slowclap*

That s literaly applied stoicism. Thank you!
1) Patience
2) Meditation
3) Well-Being (stable in emotional, financial, and spiritual walks of life as well as in most other areas of wellness)
Just realized how much of an inspiration this guy is. Far beyond just melee, but life in general.
Best way to test patience...
Drive behind someone on the highway driving slow as shit
Best way to test patience...
Playing against Morrigan in MVC3. Smash players have it good...
Best way is to wait for Armada to play melee
Im okay with Armada being my teacher
Amazing advice as always, Armada. Both inside the game and in life in general.

The retro snes music you got in the background in the last videos increases the awesomeness of your videos even more. good stuff adam! :D
I hadn’t really thought about these emotional aspects of smash play, especially patience. Ty Armada, your content is awesome

Title sounds like a get rich fast scam lol, good video tho
It's "get rich QUICK"
"Get rich fast" doesn't have the same ring to it
Armada rocking that Twilight Princess Soundtrack while giving life lessons, so great!
Lares but people are saying that its final fantasy music ????
Never player FF so I wouldnt recognize it, but at 6:50 that is DEFINITELY TP soundtrack
Daniel Gomez There's music from Final Fantasy, Twilight Princess and Chrono Trigger
Great video, Armada! As someone who doesn't get to play as much as I'd like, I very much appreciate this!
Terra's Theme will always get to me. Thank you again, Armada.
ANDDDD YOU'RE A FFVI FAN??! ARMADA, YOU ARE BY FAR MY FAVORITE SMASHER OF ALL TIME, NOT EVEN JUST THAT, BUT LITERALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE SMASH COMMUNITY YOU ARE LEGEND
Really been enjoying all the content you've been putting out recently. Keep up the good work
Armada: The Podcast
Some9uy he would be an amazing host to a show
keep up the good work on the channel, i think we are all really enjoying the more personal talks!
yaaaaas
Awesome FFVI music in the beginning of the video! Brought up a lot of nostalgia.
Holy shit Chronno Trigger after! Give this guy a medal for refined taste in video game music!
Holy God Almighty! And then Zelda! Feeling like a child again, thank you! :)

nobuo uematsu combined with the #1 ssbm player in the world talking about the game is just unsurpassable
This video was awesome! I'm always trying to improve smash through studying VODs, mentality, etc and video like this are PERFECT! Thanks a ton! :)
Armada life lessons with Chrono trigger music ❤
Take a shot everytime when Armada says human being.
Clicked this video expecting to git gud quick; ended up achieving inner peace and personal wealth. Thanks Armada!

What does Christianity have to do with your comment?
Asdf Sdfsdf a lot of the "treat others how you want to be treated," the patience with people and meditation. Those are things that are common in the Christian life. One thing that I struggle with, as Armada brings up, is losing grasp of my emotions. Him bringing up those things made me think about the Christian walk and how to implement those things in my competitive life as well.
only Christian melee allowed on this stream
gay
Cameron Bainger hard pass
I love the timing of how the ending music started hitting flat notes.
Terra's Theme from FF6 and then Wind Scene from Chrono Trigger?? Kreygasm
3:48 love the Chrono Trigger background music
good tips too! lol...
or was it just really quiet foreground music 8:59
love the chrono trigger music
wow you just beat that guy up without even touching him, you can go right on in
10/10 top tier video, absolutely amazing advice
FF6 Armada? This mans taste! off the charts
1:47 Yeah, this Persian might need a little bit more time!
Armada pulling out the top tier musical taste
Okay, this video is amazing for all of Armada's amazing advice, but I gotta ask...
WHAT IS THAT OUTRO SONG?? ITS SO GOOOOOOD
Hop Up by Digital Math
what's the first song? it sounds super familiar
FF6 Terra's Theme (the overworld theme)
Armada #1
You should make a video about theory crafting!
armada we love you
WHAT IS THE CREDITS SONG
I've checked the description in a bunch of other vids and stuff but it all takes me to Jazz Jackrabbit, which is not the right one. anyone wanna help me out?
Hop Up by Digital Math

Excellent stress relief strategies. I will attempt to use them!
Really good stuff armada. Reaaally good stuff. Many thanks!
I take your words for it. This is really helping for me. :)
Sick music choice. Now I have to go replay Twilight Princess
i gotta say, i def enjoyed these advices
oh my that terra's theme fits in so well with you talking somehow
Driving exactly the speed limit takes lots of patience.
armada with the realest of talks yet again :D
Human beans.
It feels like i see Zachhugesack on every Armada video
Yoso oh He is a big supporter of mine/my stream and donate basically every stream, very genorous for sure
Armada What a cool guy!
Yoso may his sack ever be huge
Great video; wise advise, Armada!
Does anyone know the outro music sauce?
tldr:
1) improve patience in life
2) meditation to keep emotions in check
3) take care of your life outside of melee
First song I hear is Terra's Theme from FFVI. PogChamp
I like how he’s sponsored by DXRacer but he’s not using their chairs lmao
I liked the Chrono Trigger playing
Explain the "visualizing" thing
What is the song in the background?!?! at the beginning
Terra's Theme
this video it's nought what I expected. but it was great
Talking about being frustrated we call that shit being "tilted"
Terra's Theme
How I test my patience is by playing dark souls, one of the best ways of doing it imo, it has actually improved my patience substantially
I fucking loved the Chrono Trigger song
Chrono Trigger music !!!!
Do you need fast hands to play, or is there a technique to make your hands faster to get precise timings on movement, combos, and other things? If that makes sense
Nobody starts with "fast hands"
It’s all practice my man. Even just for something like wavedashing, EVERYONE had to practice even that at on point. And that’s the amazing thing about smash, even something as basic as wavedashing you have to practice in order to implement it, nothing in this game is just “pick up and go”
just keeping playing and focus on consistency
speed will come with time
Put enough hours in and muscle memory will help you out immensly
Also, mainly focus on just playing a good neutral, and figuring out how to extend your combos the best you can. DO NOT get stuck trying to just practice specific, technical things, that will only slow you down. Speed and technical stuff comes in time but having a good neutral alone can win you sets.
Thank you
Play Wind Waker and sit through the fucking sailing
thank you
HELL YEAH
Chrono Trigger is sick
As a human bean
thanks man
Chrono Trigger music Kreygasm
Armaaada
Looked up why am I so ass at smash and this came up
A good one for the first one is watchng a bunch of loading screens
Having to play hbox's camping ass in every grand finals of every tournament must make you immensely patient.
approaching fox as a puff is really scary man ._.
Super scary to float in and out of neutral spamming one of the biggest hitboxes in the game & float back to safety once you're out of jumps/
Thought provoking comment
dat ffvi map screen music
I use Melee to be a better, more patient human being.
What if you can't get used to the controls?
Nemesis You always can. It could take 3, 5, 7, maybe 20 hours but it's definitly doable
Nemesis be more patient
Je muslim you can't be more patient when you're getting thrown off the stage and scrambling to press the right buttons
Nemesis Go into solo practice until you know what every button does, know how to Wavedash, Teck, etc on your Controller. Struggling is the first step
Nemesis lemme guess u got shield-grabbed and back thrown LUL. First of all don’t get put in that situation and second even if ur off stage u have options and mix-ups so stop complaining
another tip: practice your moves in real life on strangers to develop your reads
You certainly sound like a patient person. But are you absolutely sure you have as much patience as you brag about?
Terras theme tho
Guud video. Sweet music
For us lazy players
Dat FF music
H I D D E N T E C H : Work with kids 😂
