Sorry the audio was recorded at 144p. 😅 The audio does get fixed in my other videos! I promise!

I never understand why my buttons don’t do anything against them but their buttons kill me in three seconds

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!!!

I started watching this because I want to play competitively and didn't expect to get a lecture on brain science

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.

Hmm, nice biology facts to back up your advices

[boatdeason]

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

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.

Youtube is a great resource for good players. Watch and learn.

Man, gotta love that feeling when you’re scrolling through YouTube at 1:00 am and find a hidden gem like this channel

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

[Armor_abs_krabs]

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 👀)

[Pyraxium]

This is by far one of the coolest game tutorials of improvement I've ever seen. You even went in depth with how the brain functions well done!🎉 I guess having fun can help me learn other things than Smash as well!

[jushthehermit]

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.

[blaiddrunnerr]

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.

[matthewwilliams]

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.

[rickyoon]

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!

[fottograma]

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

[trevormurphy]

This channel is so underrated I love it!!

[brysonmcfaull]

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
