The quality of this guide was exemplary for your channel size. While other channels, especially bigger ones, seem to prioritize style over substance in many cases, you packed all three gameplay states, mindsets, reading both players and characters, and assessing risk and reward in 16 minutes. Hats off to you for compacting the information so well!
Your incineroar gameplay is so dope!!! And the video is very good for beginners. I have about 40 characters in elite but this still made me feel like I learned a lot
Yeah there’s a lot of small details like that in Smash that you don’t usually notice while playing. Like have you ever noticed that when a character dies there’s a brief second where the characters icon by the percentages who killed them has a shimmer in their eye?
Good guide for beginners! There was one thing that I noticed that is incorrect: When launched offstage to the left, you can hold to the right, and vise versa. You just can't hold down when launched up. There are some good guides on UA-cam on DI, including Beefy Smash Doods.
Pretty great guide, that covers many things well enough for any semi-competitive player who are aiming for elite, two things I want to mention tho, both related to edge guarding. 1. When edge guarding, your goal is not necessarily kill then outright (e.g. hitting them directly into the blast zone) instead your goal is to make them expend their resources (jumps, air dodges, specials etc.) to the point they can’t make it back. Sounds obvious, but even I forget this sometimes. 2. When a player is spiked (sent directly downwards) they will literally die earlier than they would have otherwise. The bottom blast zone has a special detection trigger that if you have been sent downwards and are still in hitstun, it will kill you before you reach the “real” blast zone.
I believe it a New Super Mario Bros stage. The one with Nabbit who tries to put you in the bag. It just has different transformations if you play it with hazards on.
Yeah I didn’t really understand advantage, disadvantage, and neutral for a long time and I felt like it was one of the main things that held me back in competitive Smash. That’s why I really wanted to make this video.
Thank you so much! Honestly I think that you can be successful with any controller you like best in Smash but I’m a die hard GameCube controller guy since I’ve been using it for Smash games forever. As far as my in-game controls I mostly have them as default except I turn off tap jump and make my C-stick tilt attack. The reason I hate tap jump is because you’ll accidentally jump sometimes, especially when inputing an up air for example. And then I like the tilts on the stick because it can be quite hard in the middle of an intense match to input forward tilt instead of like a Smash attack or dash attack. And then I just use L to shield and Z to grab so that one finger doesn’t have to switch between both. That’s about it. Hope this helps!
I think maybe in the future you could give visual representations to a lot of the situations you talk about making it more clear what you're talking about. It feels like you're listing a lot of information. Also try to focus on a little less maybe, it seems like you tried to make an all encompassing guide that feels like a lot to take in. I really like the segments where you show exactly what you're talking about but maybe next time try to tackle a specific topic
I appreciate the feedback. Yeah by the end I was thinking it was kind of a lot of info for one video. I’ll probably focus on single topics for videos in the future. Hopefully some of it made sense at least.
Right? I’ll tell you the hardest thing of all is trying to drop GSP bellow 2 million. That’s what I did for this video and I kept winning on accident when I was purposely playing stupid and trying to lose haha.
Yeah, caring about GSP is really dumb, I played a Peach 3 times in a row and got destroyed everytime (I think I needed to tech to not get combed hard, but I wasn't even trying to tech because I was playing people around 3 million lol, and this guy was like 5), but by the third time, even without teching his combos, I was starting to read his playstyle and get used to Peach in general, and I almost got the game. Sadly he didn't rematch a fourth time, and I took that as a win, tbh, I think he got scared of losing to me lmao
Lol getting punished for using Flip Kick it's like getting punished for trying to learn ZSS lmao (notice on the second clip that there is absolutely zero sense in using Flip Kick there, the guy is just throwing it out for the sake of it lol, most likely he missed the direction of the Flip Kick, and this is why he died, not some fucking ReAD lol)
Bro you just put other accounts to get to elite smash because i am 1000000000000000000x better than you and im at 2milioon gsp and i get pro players in my lobby
I'm very glad youtube has started putting videos from smaller creators in the recommended section lately, this video was a gem
Thank you so much! Yeah it took a long time to make so I really appreciate that.

Thank so much! I’m glad you guys liked it because it did take a long time to make.

Thanks! I actually learned a lot about how to play Incineroar while making this video because he’s a character I don’t usually play. Way fun though.
I never knew that you could see how much hit stun someone was in by the smoke trail.

Really? I’ll have to look into that. Maybe I’m just stuck on old Melee habits haha.

Yes, those are some good points.
based incneroar as the showcase character
Thank you. I try haha.
Great video. You even gave some tips that I hadn’t heard before for the characters that I play, so this was helpful. Thanks.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful.
Great video! 👍
Thinking more about what I can learn from matches instead of the GSP definitely helps to take losses well.
Yeah a lot of it is just mindset.
I appreciate your explanation of DI, really helps!
I might sound stupid but what is the stage at 12:58
I believe it a New Super Mario Bros stage. The one with Nabbit who tries to put you in the bag. It just has different transformations if you play it with hazards on.
got recomended wrongly. I have like 55 in elite. Still interesting that you explain neutral.
Yeah I didn’t really understand advantage, disadvantage, and neutral for a long time and I felt like it was one of the main things that held me back in competitive Smash. That’s why I really wanted to make this video.
According to ur last clip, your Ridley is in elite. Can you make a video on getting good/into elite for Ridley?
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you I really appreciate that.
that incineroar gameplay is so satisfying i cant focus on what you're saying
great video
hey i really love you video and your really underrated i was wondering what control do you use
Thank you so much! Honestly I think that you can be successful with any controller you like best in Smash but I’m a die hard GameCube controller guy since I’ve been using it for Smash games forever.

@@new2you410 okay thanks so much🙏

I feel like he gave visual representation of pretty much everything except when he made examples of other characters.
I appreciate the feedback. Yeah by the end I was thinking it was kind of a lot of info for one video. I’ll probably focus on single topics for videos in the future. Hopefully some of it made sense at least.
I can get any character from 7 million into Elite. But trying to get a character from lower than 4mil into Elite is just rage inducing lmao.
Right? I’ll tell you the hardest thing of all is trying to drop GSP bellow 2 million. That’s what I did for this video and I kept winning on accident when I was purposely playing stupid and trying to lose haha.
can you please make a video about your controller settings and why. Keep up the good work
Yeah at some point I will make a controller settings video. 👍🏻
True gem
Thanks so much!
cool video!
Thank you!
GREAT VIDEO 💯
Thank you 🙏🏻
great video!!
Thanks, I hope it was helpful.
How do you actually learn combos practice them and be able to use them in battle,??????
Can you please make a cloud tutorial, it would really help me so much!!!!! (You just got +1 Sub!!!!!)
I loved this video and you just got yourself a new sub (reply if you make one)
Im rlly good at smash ult alr I just don't wanna get over the pain of getting people with terrible connection and whatnot
Very helpful thank you
Thanks I’m glad you got something out of it.
What a great video!
Thanks I appreciate that!
12:56 whats this stage called?
Yeah, caring about GSP is really dumb, I played a Peach 3 times in a row and got destroyed everytime (I think I needed to tech to not get combed hard, but I wasn't even trying to tech because I was playing people around 3 million lol, and this guy was like 5), but by the third time, even without teching his combos, I was starting to read his playstyle and get used to Peach in general, and I almost got the game.

This is a terrible video, I want to learn how to get elite smash , not play the game ….
Practice
If you get good at most of these tips, you should be able to get into elite with a lot of characters.
