Amazing tips, especially the ones centered around mindset! Tip #3 tends to be the one that I fall for most; a solid lead will make you feel invincible at 150% and forget Snake has a killing uptilt 😂 Also JEEEZ the visuals are amazing! Very well done, on both your parts! So happy with how this came out, G$ and I'm excited for whatever more you come up with! And thank you for the shoutout 💖

@L00D__ 2 жыл бұрын

Zoning takes a fine art to achieve properly Since so many projectiles are smaller to actually hit than proper moves and being able to know when to switch from passive to aggressive so swiftly takes getting used to But it's all worth it to impress with deep item combos you have, space well, and make a Ganondorf main cry in his pants and constantly call me a coward despite playing the matchup properly - A Mega Man main

@chilly2126 4 жыл бұрын

@Daniel Hoffman Ike just spams Nair, g&w mashes up b and smash attacks and while yes rob does have many difficult combos and tech, the most optimal way to play him is by sitting back and mashing down b and nuetral b

@chilly2126 4 жыл бұрын

@Daniel Hoffman even at a high level g&w also mashes aerials, mainly bair and Nair and when I fight people I still win, even when I'm on elite or in a tournament. I've dropped Ike and rob tho so I don't know about them. Even if g&w isn't fully braindead he's by far one of the easiest characters in the game to pick up and mash buttons with

I played fighting game very casually until 2021 where I took it more seriously, looking for guides and terminology, and I realized I've always played zoners, not only in smash, but in all fighting games. I get a lot of flame but I don't care, zoning is cool, different and I love it.

Watching this video now on 2024 there’s one phrase that sticks with me: “you have to avoid lethal hits” I think this is the reason why characters like Kazuya feel so unfair and like they break the game, because against Kazuya ANY hit is a lethal hit.

@Glyphmoney 2 ай бұрын

True, kind of! That's where things get very tricky and bleed into the world of the more traditional fighting game. See, those hits are only lethal if the other player has the skill to execute the following moves. Smash has always been a game with a lot of counterplay to being combo'd so it feels bad when you're watching a cutscene of your own death, but also that cutscene still technically is your opponent outplaying you. It's funny how what determines what makes someone 'good' changes over the years, not just from player skills but also from the tools the game presents you!

I appreciate zoners but I still hold that most people who play them exclusively, do just so they don't get bodied (speaking at low levels of play obviously). It's a free way of controlling space compared to a Falcon who has to actively zone with his own hurt/hit box. Characters like Marth that have disjoints are a nice inbetween. Nonetheless, fantastic content. Instant sub.
