I'm also from the Philippines ;D I live here

On it!!

what's the advantage over using L?

@@MagnusReardon you only need a light press of the trigger to l cancel and a full press locks you out of techs for 40 frames while Z always does light press and never locks out of techs. Also, Z for l cancel means you can use the trigger for shield or wavedash immediately after without having to double press R or L for both the l cancel and the wavedash.

Just posted it! :)

Hmmm

Just released a new episode :)

Hmm.. When I think of it. I see it as a challenge that is possible but difficult. There are players like aMSa who have gotten Top 100 (arguably this was a long time ago and he had better practice with Japanese players). However I would argue that I actually have advantages over some of the Japanese players. Firstly, I speak English as a first language which gives me opportunities to be coached or taught by top NA players online. I also am able to access English guides online that Japanese players may not be able to translate or understand fully. Another advantage is now that I have slippi, I can even play with the Japanese players and Middle Eastern players. I can play with almost anyone in Asia, whereas Japanese players can only play with some of SEA and Korea because of ping. I also have the opportunities to go abroad and gain some experience. Players like Inngenn have shown that it's possible to show huge improvement over a 2 year period and he even has 2 Top 100 wins already iirc. I'm well aware my region is not the strongest, but it's not like every player here is just horrible. Also, 1000+ hours over 2 years is not really that much. I've spent thousands more hours on other things in my life. I'm not saying it's going to be easy but I am very interested in trying to attain this goal. At least for now. There is a world where I see little improvement and decide to just quit after a year. Who really knows? But for now, this is my goal and I am very motivated to achieve it. I want to document it as well on YT for fun and so I, and others can look back at my journey and see how I did or did not achieve it. I know documenting it publicly is a pretty vulnerable thing as well but I like to keep myself accountable and I think this makes interesting content. I am not offended or upset about the comment. I feel like you are trying to be realistic. And that's OK. I just wanted to post my response here. Thanks :)

Good! Stand your ground from energy vampires.@@YetisPH

Ibdw hit top 100 in a year and a half. What an awful take Lmao. Zain became a top player in 2016 and started in 2014.

⁠@@BallaCS2oh I’m sorry, did they make top 100 without an incredible amount of in-person experience and natural ability Starting as a melee player in 2014 is an entirely different game than starting in 2024. Again, telling people not to shoot for the Olympics when they start playing a sport in high school isn’t exactly outlandish, even if there are some high schoolers who have started and gotten to the Olympics.

@@Poskiix ibdw said you can hit top 100 if you play 2-3 hours a day for 2 years. Also 2014 was way harder to become a top player as Slippi wasn’t a thing

i recommend playing people from the melee online discord

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! I was thinking about this the other day. But I usually don't have any hand pain even tho i've been playing Fox for like 6 years! I dont know much about hand health but I will still stretch and etc before and or afterwards!

Will answer this in the next video! Cool question!

Will answer in my next video :)
