Yeah quick play/elite smash is honestly the most infuriating online mode I have ever played in any game. I don’t even know what it is anymore but I just get pissed off in a special kind of way where I just wanna throw my whole switch out of a window
watching loads of yeet smash vids and tourney vods legit made me better. last summer, i didn’t play a lot of smash because my friends went back home (i’m in uni), so i mostly watched smash vids. weirdly enough, i didn’t watch them with the intention of getting better and gaining knowledge. i only watched them because i genuinely thought they were entertaining. before summer one of my friends used to murk me, and after summer the table turned
Just beat you banana boy in a Terry ditto to get into elite smash. I'm honored considering I've watched a ton of your videos in order to get better! Thanks man!!!
In the training section I want to add something more Search -Art of Training and -Zero Spacing they will help you in your movement and spacing (and helps on how to build muscle memory that is pretty much why Top players have time to play the neutral and do complex mindgames at the same time well only reason) Im not joking this shit is why people win tournments They don't need to think the input and spacing (kinda) of what they are doing but think of what the oponent is doing
Quick play is good for learning what most players react with in certain situations. Especially character specific ones. It taught me that Robins always jump and Levin aerial off ledge and that a lot of players roll into you after taking your stock.
I think alot of your viewers are actually pretty new to competitive smash, so it would be cool to make more beginner orientated videos like this one! Like maybe one about how to go from casual smash to competitive.
My strat as of recent has been to make a 2 person arena with the basic tourney rules. Most people are willing to stick around for at least a handful of games, and it's a good mix of skill. I usually play a best of 3 if they're not good enough to help me improve, and I play people who are better than me as long as they're willing to hang out. I've had some really fun times and have noticed lots of improvements(I'm still quite mediocre)
God the last minute of this video was so relatable, I just got Link into elite two days ago and I've been playing him since the day this game came out. (Haha I'm bad whatever) Quickplay hasn't helped me at all. Only reason I've gotten better at all is because of grind sessions with friends.
Solo link main here, got him in elite smash day 1. Didn't play him for almost half a year while I tried to get every other character Into elite smash. Pulled him out for an online Tourney, forgot how to do almost everything advanced, was suddenly mediocre at Link. Now I play mostly Link with just a side of (character of the week) and I'm getting much more consistent with my ledge trapping and bomb setups. Just practicing ledge trumps, wavebounces/reverse B's, bomb setups/ recovery and RAR has gotten me pretty far in most matches. However I don't get very good milage out of spacing tilts or playing defense because I never really practiced that stuff and every once in a while someone comes along and exploits those weaknesses hard.
Quickplay is honestly awful. More often than not you'll match up with players who aren't actually trying to improve and learn the complexities of their character, and just camp and/or spam moves.
@@aero6104 unfortunately those are playstyles we have to learn to deal with when playing competitively, and in some cases incorporate into our own gameplay. Basically, if the opponent never learns how to deal with one move there is no reason to stop using it.
I used to play elite smash and learnt a lot. I went to a tournament few weeks before the corona virus and got second place. After deciding to go to locals and keep getting consistent placements, quick play just feel garbage now. I feel less motivated in practicing online Smash since it’s so hard to find players in discord and random arenas.
I honestly like the online tournament mode a lot more than quickplay. It's far from perfect, even when it's in 1vs1 mode since it's 2 stock, FD only and you can't rematch anyone. The skill level among players is also all over the place. But at the very least it's consistent, and you're not forced to play stamina mode against a Ness with a 56k modem. There's also no gsp, and no salt associated with it.
Your quickplay experience is literally mine i have had the legendary "other player is a good sport not too laggy and i actually learn something" situation happen like once or twice tho
One recurring theme I've noticed in your videos is playing with people who are around the same skill level as you. However, I am currently at a point where all of my friends and all of the people that I have a chance to play regularly wipe the floor with me. For example, my best friend who I used to be about even with now tends to win nine out of ten games against me. I've almost started to feel irrelevant even as a training partner for my friends, and I don't feel like I have anyone to play against where we are at the same skill level. Do you have any suggestions for this scenario?
I'm not interested in getting better at Smash, especially considering I haven't played it since January, but I totally get where you're coming from with not wanting to play elite smash or quickplay. Back when I was really into Halo 3 and wanting to get better at it, I would never get better in the online matches I played. I only really improved when I played with my one friend that was way better than me. We would just play in a small octagon arena with BRs to practice our aim and strafing, and that was the best environment to do it in
I find quickplay can be helpful for players who struggle against cheese (such as me, although rarely now, much more common beforehand), unless you just get tilted and don't properly realize that there is a way to beat everything.
Quickplau has helped me tremendously in learning to fight game and watch, There's so many in elite smash, Now my only "Trash Matchups" that I genuinely suck at are Peach and Snake
I just made a ridiculous mistake in Quickplay today that hurt my soul. A Byleth nearly killed me when I was at 40% with just one F-Smash and then he read my Arsene recovery with Down Air. He likely thought it was a really sick play but I just felt so much pain from it. This may not sound related, but I brought it up to say that I think I may need your videos on how to improve at the game, lol.
Off topic, but I noticed you had a short clip from the Tatami Galaxy. Literally no anime watcher/ manga reader that I've spoken with has even heard about it. And for some reason that show gives me a FLCL vibe. Nice video also
I actually spent about 9 months only playing quick play, it got me to the point of noticeable habits but good fundamentals, it’s only good if you play to win, get a serious opponent, and getting lucky with the rule set
I play lvl 9 and 8 myself, typically prefer 8 because it can actually miss techs which is awesome because i was beginning to try and pick up greninja when this whole thing started, and the best local i had prior to this was biweekly
i usually play level 8s when im learning a new character or warming up . i recently picked up wolf and im currently learning his bread and butter combos
I have a question. What if you haven't played in a while and lose lot of skill from gaining rust. It takes a long time just so I can return to my original skill.
It sucks that I don’t have good internet, even with an Ethernet adapter. Still, great advice, especially for people who won’t be able to attend locals after this whole thing blows over due to their location.

I'm surprised that fighting CPUs isn't in this vid. Sence my internet is crap and I dont have many friends who like smash, it's the only way I do it. And if the levels high enough, they are inhumanely good.
CPU's might teach you bad habits. Stuff that works on the CPU might not work on a human player and vice versa. Low level CPUs are okay for practicing some basic combos though.
@@vitaming582 I have been playing CPUs my whole life (mostly) and even though they can do cheap stuff their programmed way can actually help in same aspects like practicing perfect shield since they always attack and mostly use multi hits so you can react as fast as possible depending on where they di while PS. I have been toe to toe against actual good players and I just have my skill fighting CPUs and they go to locals.
@@sshn5063 Yes, Joker is programmed to up B if you are above him or close to him while jumping so he still do it even with Arsene. Since I main Mario most of the time I play against him I win by just using down B and call it a day.
2 big problems I've experienced with this 1. Reinforcing bad habits. The best example here is charging a raw smash attack. CPUs, even level 9s, will walk into these far more than any human above the age of 5. 2. You won't learn how to edge guard. Years of mainly playing against the computer has taught me that when the opponent is offstage, the best decision is to patiently wait for them to reach the ledge. This is where the inhuman aspect winds up hurting the trainee. CPUs' insane reaction time and insistence on recovering means anything you try is likely to fail and put you at a disadvantage. Along with the fact that CPUs don't actually have optimal gameplay (I've never been combo'd out by a Peach or properly zoned by a Samus) and their focus on one playstyle (they just refuse to camp), there's little to learn from CPUs other than the technical side of learning the physical inputs and reacting to openings/conversions.
Amazing video dude. How about considering making a video on frame data next? I know im not the only person who doesnt really understand framedata and what to do with the numbers
hey! i absolutely love your videos, i’ve improved so much from watching you. i was curious if you’d be able to do a video on dealing with bad matchups? as a dedede main, bad matchups make me wanna scream. if it’s okay, please consider it :)
I've started recently playing online and it can be annoying at times due to lag but I feel like I'm going to get better already by playing people who are better than me or near my skill group.
Does anyone else have unbearable input delay when playing any form of online? I can't land any combos because of it so I just avoid online. All my friends are playing though I feel like i'm the only one who is complaining.
I think I have the same issues. Even if the lag is very subtle, I most of the time can't react or space properly and it really makes me doubt my reactions. Offline however feels so precise, it feels like a different game, to me atleast.
Which characters are you guys playing? Cause I have the same issue and I think it has a lot to do with what character is being played. I main captain falcon and I feel like I can barely land anything online but offline everything is so much smoother its crazy.
Cleotheninja yea same I main falcon. I don’t know how Fatality and NickC do it lmao. I really can’t get used to the input delay. I feel like I would gain bad habits if I were to play online too.
If I'm not mistaken, you get 2frames of input delay compared to offline at MINIMUM. So it can be pretty significant. I play ICs. Can barely combo people online, lol
could you do a follow up to your video about how to beat every character after they release the rest of the fighter passes? i main byleth and i feel like seeing that would help me know my weaknesses as that character
I live in Sweden and I have to literally travel across half the country to get to any type of tournament. It sucks. Pretty much been playing online, but I would really want some local matches.
If my internet wasn't dodo I would accept any challenge 24/7. I'm the classic player that says "one more" and play the whole day none stop, is not healthy but my passion for this series is enormous and it saddens me that I have only played like 13 people in Ultimate and they are not exactly at my skill lvl and more casual. I need to play at least 6 hrs straight against someone.
I wouldn't do that. Try setting the CPU lower. Lvl 9 cpus do really funky stuff that humans normally don't. Training against CPU's is usefull to work on your gameplan in a setting where your opponent wont adapt. So basic combos and advantage state.
Banana Boy, you always talk about the basics and fundamentals, but not everyone knows what they are. Could you do a video on them and how to improve them?
I hate quick play, my main Pikachu has my worst GSP of 600,000, and there are no tournaments near me at all. What can I do to improve? Can I just stick to Training mode like I have been all these years? Please, someone respond.
In your opinion people Is It recomendable to hear music while playing? I Mean i feel like It help me focus but the auditive effect on the game are Also important to hear
I dunnoo why but when I play online I'm trash. Like put me next to someone around my skill level on the couch and I do alright, but if you connect me using the glorious Wi-Fi connection I lose the ability to communicate with my hands, or even focus on the match sometimes. Send help
Hey Bananaboy, I recently changed my control scheme to have jump next to the c - stick so I could get more used to using it, but I still don't see myself using it very often so I was wondering if you could make video on getting used to it or why you should even try in the first place.
People on quickplay fall into at least 3 categories. 1) Sweaty Wifi warriors who try immensely hard and don't give you a game 2 2) Salt Lords who quit after one loss 3) That one person who turned items and stage hazards on and that's your life for 3 - 7 minutes.
I use training mode. Lvl 7 Computer. 1 hour of pure fighting. If I reach 10 kills before the computer reaches 5 , I can rank up to lvl 8 comp. Repeat. Predicting moves, combos, grabs, DUI's, and ledge guards. Trust me. The more you play in training, the better you can get. Especially against a character you have a hard time beating with your main. Try it. Then @ me when you want these problems.

Amazing video dude. How about considering making a video on frame data next? I know im not the only person who doesnt really understand framedata and what to do with the numbers
Is that what those people do after emptying the shelves of rolls?
Yo BananaBoy, what do you do when the opponent dies and is in their invincible period?
Lol I love the Temp reference at 1:20
hey! i absolutely love your videos, i’ve improved so much from watching you. i was curious if you’d be able to do a video on dealing with bad matchups? as a dedede main, bad matchups make me wanna scream. if it’s okay, please consider it :)
I second this
Pff, no tournaments because of a virus? Here i have no tournaments ever.
That being said i really apreciate this video dude
I've started recently playing online and it can be annoying at times due to lag but I feel like I'm going to get better already by playing people who are better than me or near my skill group.
Did my mans just say *MY SPACE*
Thought we were in 2008 for a second
Congrats at genesis!
Does anyone else have unbearable input delay when playing any form of online? I can't land any combos because of it so I just avoid online. All my friends are playing though I feel like i'm the only one who is complaining.
I think I have the same issues. Even if the lag is very subtle, I most of the time can't react or space properly and it really makes me doubt my reactions. Offline however feels so precise, it feels like a different game, to me atleast.
Which characters are you guys playing? Cause I have the same issue and I think it has a lot to do with what character is being played. I main captain falcon and I feel like I can barely land anything online but offline everything is so much smoother its crazy.
Cleotheninja yea same I main falcon. I don’t know how Fatality and NickC do it lmao. I really can’t get used to the input delay. I feel like I would gain bad habits if I were to play online too.
If I'm not mistaken, you get 2frames of input delay compared to offline at MINIMUM.
So it can be pretty significant.
I play ICs. Can barely combo people online, lol
@@RoseyMapleGothYeah I agree, I play greninja and things like timing fairs and whiffpunishing just feels unreliable online
could you do a follow up to your video about how to beat every character after they release the rest of the fighter passes? i main byleth and i feel like seeing that would help me know my weaknesses as that character
I live in Sweden and I have to literally travel across half the country to get to any type of tournament. It sucks. Pretty much been playing online, but I would really want some local matches.
If my internet wasn't dodo I would accept any challenge 24/7. I'm the classic player that says "one more" and play the whole day none stop, is not healthy but my passion for this series is enormous and it saddens me that I have only played like 13 people in Ultimate and they are not exactly at my skill lvl and more casual. I need to play at least 6 hrs straight against someone.
Good video topic idea
Question:
Is fighting Level 9 CPU’s good for practice?
I wouldn't do that. Try setting the CPU lower. Lvl 9 cpus do really funky stuff that humans normally don't. Training against CPU's is usefull to work on your gameplan in a setting where your opponent wont adapt. So basic combos and advantage state.
Thanks for the advice ;)
Yeah I did that and practiced against Pt and the chairzard would just flair blitz any time it would recover it was funny lol
Banana Boy, you always talk about the basics and fundamentals, but not everyone knows what they are. Could you do a video on them and how to improve them?
Ah, 10 months ago, when people thought we’d eventually be back to normal by the end of the year; good times.
I hate quick play, my main Pikachu has my worst GSP of 600,000, and there are no tournaments near me at all. What can I do to improve? Can I just stick to Training mode like I have been all these years? Please, someone respond.
Hey Banana Man! What are your thoughts on Zelda?
Banana Boy: Watch VODs from top players of your character
Me, an Isabelle main:
I thought they didnt exist
Oh, I'm not alone, even though she is not my main is my second most used character and my secondary in some cases.
In your opinion people Is It recomendable to hear music while playing? I Mean i feel like It help me focus but the auditive effect on the game are Also important to hear
Ive tried looking for top level Ryu plays but nobody plays Ryu. And I've been a Ryu main since he was released in Smash 4. He's real slept on
Late to the video, but is there like a discord made specifically for arenas? I looked around smashcords, but couldn't find anything.
"When this clears up"
9 months ago.
Utah, man.
I dunnoo why but when I play online I'm trash. Like put me next to someone around my skill level on the couch and I do alright, but if you connect me using the glorious Wi-Fi connection I lose the ability to communicate with my hands, or even focus on the match sometimes. Send help
Hey Bananaboy, I recently changed my control scheme to have jump next to the c - stick so I could get more used to using it, but I still don't see myself using it very often so I was wondering if you could make video on getting used to it or why you should even try in the first place.
I'm glad that I don't have to play online!
Yo me too!
This has been my life playing online forever
See kids? Even Kongy Dong is cautious. #STAYHOME
People on quickplay fall into at least 3 categories.
1) Sweaty Wifi warriors who try immensely hard and don't give you a game 2
2) Salt Lords who quit after one loss
3) That one person who turned items and stage hazards on and that's your life for 3 - 7 minutes.
I use training mode. Lvl 7 Computer. 1 hour of pure fighting. If I reach 10 kills before the computer reaches 5 , I can rank up to lvl 8 comp. Repeat. Predicting moves, combos, grabs, DUI's, and ledge guards.
Trust me. The more you play in training, the better you can get. Especially against a character you have a hard time beating with your main. Try it. Then @ me when you want these problems.
