Note on the Bill Nye comment: The joke was purely a jab at the hilariously bad episode of Bill Nye Saves the World. In it, he refers to sex being on a spectrum, which, from my understanding, most can agree that there are only 2 biological sexes. In no way did I intend to jab at those with Gender Dysphoria or confusion related to their gender identity. I (selfishly) used the two different words interchangably to avoid having to say "sex" in a video, since my channel has always been family-friendly. I have many friends in the LGBTQ+ community and hope you all can understand that I meant no harm from the joke. tl:dr - Trans rights
I've got my first tourney tomorrow and I'm so excited! (Also very nervous.) I just wanted to say that I probably wouldn't have ever entered this tournament or even have gotten into competitive smash if it wasn't for you! Thanks man! Keep doing what you're doing!
seeing neutral, advantage and disadvantage as different areas of the stage/offstage really gave me a clearer perspective! simple and to the point as always, great video!
Im glad you acknowledged the broad nature of your advicw on stage control. Different characters actually have better stage control on the edges of the stage, provided they can get good hits in and properly bait their opponent.
You always upload the video I need to improve. Like I'll sit there and be like I need to improve in (blank) and then you upload a video covering that exact thing, thank you
Your content its great, so useful! also, the way you complement your arguments with game-examples and anime/paint images make them really enjoyable! thanks!
Ok Bboy dude I gotta thank ya, I went to tourney for the second time today, thanks to your tutorials I learnt how to gain stage control and went from 200% at ledge to beating my opponent who was only at 13 when I was cornered, your vids help so thanks dude!
You honestly really opened my eyes to some stuff this video. I'll keep it in mind from now on. In local smash tournaments that I've joined, I've never really taken advantage of stage control. I've of course juggled and stuff if they were above, because free damage is gr8. But I've never tried reading their moves and reactions. Maybe I can finally win more than 2 sets with some practice. My final goal is top 4, which is unlikely, but it's a goal lol. Out of 25, it shouldn't be impossible
When it comes to how to control the stage, I always think there is a bubble and being like spongebob you like bubbles and never want to pop it, and try to get the opponent as far away from the bubble, and your having something to protect. Weird analogy but It definitely works for me.
Thank you so much Bannana Boy for these videos. They are so helpful and I was able to take a game off of Valor last Saturday. Warning:( these videos can help you improve. players hate him.)
Damn is BananaBoy a hidden Bob Shpupiro fan or something? It’s another video with some veeeery subtle dog whistle. Really starts to disgust me but I don’t want to believe he’s that low.
Utube isnt showing my last comment for some reason, but he clarifies in some replies down below that he shouldn't have used gender as an example and thinks dysphoria is valid
Hey man thank you for the tips they have helped me in my schools group in which we have small tourneys I actually won last week because of your vids thank you
So I recently watched your video "Is competitive smash worth it?" I had a question: basically you said if you enjoy it at a high level, then yes. My question is, what do you think are the qualities that can be associated with enjoying that high level play? Obviously it's impossible to predict perfectly whether someone is the "type" to enjoy something before they've actually tried, but it takes a lot of time to get to that level when you don't even know whether you'll like it or not. As a comparison, I have quite a few friends who went to college to major in engineering, and after spending 4 years on their education they then find that they don't enjoy it 6 months into starting work as an engineer. Obviously you can't say for sure whether someone will enjoy it or not, but in the case of engineering you can at least find good indicators. So I could ask, do you enjoy math and science? Do you like task-oriented work? Do you mind working at a desk most of the day? Do you like applied mathematics or abstract mathematics? As another example, someone could say that competitive Civilization is very fun, but if you aren't a patient person it's probably not for you. TL;DR, what are the things YOU enjoy about competitive smash, what do you see in common across competitive players, and are there any traits you would say are likely to mean someone won't enjoy it? Open to answers from people in comments too! Would love to know whether this hobby is for me before I sink a couple hundred hours into it :)
Although I'm not a pro player by any means I think I can help you. In my opinion you don't need to become a pro in order to get an idea of it. You should ask yourself "What do I like about the game?" Is it the casual aspect? Do you enjoy playing around a bit and not taking the game too serious? Or are you more of the competitive type that really enjoys the complexity and decision making in the game. I for example completely fell in love with the variety the game offers me and the freedom of plays I can express myself with. That in combination with the fact that I'm pretty competitive by nature and that I like theory crafting and finding out the best possible way of doing something made competitive Smash quite attractive to me, which is why I enjoy competing against others. As with every hobby, you'll get a grasp of what it's like being a pro every second you actually do the hobby, because most aspects that make a hobby enjoyable for competitors can already be experienced at lower levels of play. Hope I could help you. ✌️
How do I deal with invincibility when my opponent is re-spawning because I lose all stage control when I take a stock, then leading into getting punished and then downhill from there
this probably will be an unpopular opinion but i like to work passivley in the corner for some reason that i can't even figure out then again i play ike taking up half the stage with good post - 2-frame options dk with good throws and spikes bowser that can hardly be launched anyway shulk with the jump monado for a almost guarenteed recovery and wolf with great aerials and 2-frames so yeah im trying to work on this specifically along with not getting too nervous and adapting
"Stage control, similar to the scientific consensus on sexuality, runs on a spectrum" Bill Nye was talking about sexuality, not gender. Corrected that for you. Good video otherwise.
That analogy to the pirate on the ship was too relatable it happens all the time

I'm probably alone in it but I'm really relieved that you commented on this. Thank you, smash father.
i appreciate the hell outta you saying this. ik this comments a year old but thanks for the clear-up
I appreciate the clarification but in what world was that joke gonna land right with anyone 😭
That pirate analogy was the best explanation of stage control I've every seen/heard.
Happens to me all the time

"Nihong wa sugoku tanoshi-kata"

How can you get to double digits GSP???? You got less than a 100!?!? How??
Nice animations!
Thank you, missed you Banana Boy.

oh hey a useful video for falcon mains... you've made my day BananaBoySSB
6:48 “he’s going to jump on to the stage!”
Im glad you acknowledged the broad nature of your advicw on stage control. Different characters actually have better stage control on the edges of the stage, provided they can get good hits in and properly bait their opponent.
Most of this stuff I already know, but for some reason I'm always compelled/excited to watch it!
Keep up the great content!
I’ve been waiting all day for this video and I loved it. Also I liked the persona 4 clip thank you.
You always upload the video I need to improve. Like I'll sit there and be like I need to improve in (blank) and then you upload a video covering that exact thing, thank you
You reminded me that i had popcorn
So i cooked it lmao

Yes. I do love your upload schedule

This video will seriously come in handy in the future. Keeping stage control is super difficult.
Snake is op as hell
He can control the entire stage and the area around it
Was just re-watching your videos earlier today, thanks for another great video! (:
