Australia's Best Smash Player DESTROYS Japan

[@Poppt1]

Sorry idk why I forgot to mention mr r is from Europe!

[@awesomeking9915]

Children game Super Smash Bros ultimate

[@Johncena64793]

no problem

[@BigGooseMan]

Where the old outro :’(

[@Mene0]

you where mr r from tho?

[@Ramboldt]

@@Mene0 he was the #1 of the Netherlands

[@Nako3]

It took me 82 years before I noticed its actually Smash 4!

[@connergoldsborough4093]

I love poppt1 competitive smash content!! Thanks Jordan! Keep it coming! I love your excitement about it just like I am! I really wanna see a lot more and get more people interested!

[@idk2340]

Bro shut up

[@ash-ir7qe]

I absolutely love how passionate he is

[@spergalicious27]

I really enjoy watching competitive stuff. You get to see wild gameplay and you can always learn. You pointing out the rolling back was so eye opening to how you top levels work

[@bigrock8752]

Poppt, you should organize a crew battle where ur Australian members fight each other. That’d be soo sick

[@RushWheeler]

Even better: crew battle with all of the best Australian players against TysonAli

[@miggle6927]

Happens at every Aus Major between the 4 major smash states

[@tylertoorres3825]

I'm a fairly casual player, but I enjoy the competitive scene a bit, I think that in order to make more people excited about these types of videos (competitive focused) you might just have to explain a lot of it. Things like Rivalries, History, Characters and their move sets, etc.

[@gabestewart3995]

It’s great to see you so excited and enthusiastic! What a great set!

[@TrustNx7]

There was one video you did before that was a perfect blend of competitive for casual audiences. It was like a tournament breakdown. You went over the big matches and moments that happened it was paced really well, but you only ever made one video like it. I think more like that would be good.

[@elitenano]

Oh man I love when you cover more competitive smash! Since you’re the only underdog that really does it’s nice that you have this somewhat niche. I also wouldn’t mind more character specific videos, like I recently picked up wolf and I wouldn’t mind having you teach me what I should and shouldn’t be doing with him

[@Goodbylekyle]

Please keep the competitive content coming. You are really good at explaining competently what is going on, as well as your own thoughts. While also still being able to seem like yourself.

[@mrstealyotrees630]

Please keep up with the competitive tournament content. I'm mostly a casual player but I've been dipping into the competitive side of things and videos like these are perfect for me!

[@Godspeed111]

As a casual player and a deep rooted competitive viewer I love most when you focus on specific interactions. For instance in this video, the emphasis on reading Ken's panic roll out from high pressure scenarios in games 1 and 2, and then capitalizing on that in game three really gives insight into how top level players see the game. Keep up the great work!

[@ThePizzaMan48]

This is exactly my favorite kind of content from you! The more competitive side of Smash always seems to be some of your best videos! Maybe it is my bias, but it's always a blast to watch!

[@salty_slug]

This is a great way to bring competitive to casual. I'm a pretty casual player and this overview followed up by a highlights/detailed look at the match is perfect for me! =)

[@Ryanneedsahandle]

As someone who's not super invested in the competitive scene, I think this was a good, "digestible" video in terms of length and having you describe the history and summarize the story of why this was a big deal. I typically wouldn't watch a full 30 minute set but this was the perfect amount

[@lunt7817]

Dude waking up to a Poppt1 BANGER is the greatest thing in the morning. Love the the competitive vids. Keep it up.

[@jacobmedina5041]

I like when you break down the strategies and reads that the players make (like Ken's evade habit). It's something that a casual fan won't really notice but could find interesting from someone with more knowledge.

[@Iso_SSB]

If Poppt1 could recap tournaments and make them hype I feel like that would be very entertaining for casual and competitive audiences

[@crissyg8515]

I think the key to bring the competitive scene to a casual scene is you yourself being invested in the games. It’s better if it feels like you’re watching alongside us like in this video versus where you’re being hyper analytical and pausing all the time. We want to see the nonstop action and hype then you can go more in depth after the whole game maybe.

[@greedo194]

I like how you used mr R, a dutch player, to show how much better NA and Japan were in smash 4

[@guyroach]

damn good job setting the scene for why the match matters, and then covering a condensed version of the match. Perfect for getting casuals into the scene.

[@mortezz1268]

You could do similar stuff to what the panda youtube channel did when it was still active. Reacting to tournaments but cut it down to the most important/interesting things. For example big upsets by unknown players or especially by characters that aren't played that often. For example when Peanut nearly beat Leo or when Abadango nearly won a Japanese major with Meta Knight or Hikaru beating top 5 Japanese players with DK, stuff like that is what got me init the competitive scene and now I watch most big tournaments live.

[@mortezz1268]

This video is also a perfect example, as it's not only a big upset but only it's by a friend of yours which makes your perspective on it even more interesting.

[@vividwizard6166]

A video like this once or twice a month is honestly perfect, keep up the good work!

[@CanisInfernus]

Honestly really good video, a lot of people would look at a Young Link vs Sonic set and immediately tune it out as "boring campy stuff," and I really like your enthusiasm highlighting the decision making going on during the set.

[@sbdufear4090]

also, the competitive content is sick, keep it going broski

[@DarkScrubb]

Hey Poppt! I've been watching you for awhile now and you've grown a ton. I absolutely love the competitive videos and even the casual ones. You've grown alot and I hope you keep up the great work.

[@jeromeparnus7190]

Yes, please do more competitive videos!

[@joshuateer]

Loved the video. The replay clips where you focused on the jump back or the roll away were great to emphasize what you see when you’re watching a match.

[@inksoup9936]

Please make videos like this. I definitely am never going to watch an 8 hour tournament but having a single story condensed like this is so manageable and it would provide a heap of variety as everyone has their own story to share

[@FreddeGreddeMusic]

Yes! We need at least a couple of videos on Genesis! 🥳

[@ethanlockee3088]

absolutely love competitive focus, especially your analysis and commentary

[@bikereven]

I honestly miss this kind of content. I remember when you'd go to tournaments and explain your gameplan from the recordings. I enjoy that a lot, I feel like you're feeding my mind. I both love to understand people's gameplans and analyzing characters and matchups. So I'd love to see the competitive content come back on the channel. 🤩 PLUS I actually learnt a few things from watching your videos, and my personal playstyle became more consistent thanks to you! Now I have 12.5 M GSP with Little Mac and I get to enjoy the game more thanks to your advice.

[@alexfontenot8913]

I would love to see you break down the story line of tournaments, and the highs and lows of them in an easy to consume content like this! Or even spotlight players you enjoy or who are good at certain characters. Seeing you enjoy the competition always makes it fun to watch.

[@nicksprott2086]

I love the competitive analysis. You’re like a curator: always just showing the interesting games, explaining the storyline, noticing things that would go over my head. Keep it up!!

[@bug4443]

your genuine excitement makes this infinity more engaging, dont suppress that!!! im not huge into the competitive smash scene but videos like these make it super digestible for me

[@mooshroom4]

One of my favourite parts of your competitive videos is when something really cool happens, you will sometimes go over it again and actually explain what was happening and where the choices were. Helps people to think of their options!

[@ThatGuyCalledSteeve]

I'm liking these kinds of videos especially when highlighting Australian players since most American pros who make these kinds of set analysis vids won't have the amount of insight and appreciation for the Australian scene. Definitely a good way to get some eyes on these players

[@nychus37]

Love the competitive stuff, I think one thing you could try out is pausing and rewinding at key moments to explain what was so crucial about them. For example, if there's a great read or option that leads to a kill, maybe pause and go back and show it in slow motion to explain why that option was optimal in that situation, or if another option would have been better. Cheers and congratulations on your engagement!

[@ytrilogy1091]

In terms of explaining competitive smash to the casual scene, you can try the approach Karl jobst went with speedrunning. I'm not really interested in speedrunning but the way karl simplified the complex techniques down to a more lay man explanation, it helps make it easier to understand why the accomplishment is such a huge achievement. That's why I started being interested in the competitive scene for smash in the first place. Understanding the small nuances, the lead up to the speedrun/matches and how the execution is just so limited on time is quite fascinating. That's why the explanation of the Australia smash scene really helps put things in context

[@johnkeller2985]

I really love competitive smash content, I would love like some genesis 9 content where you analayze some sets

[@Jatnuiram]

So as someone who really doesn't know competitive smash at all beyond a few top names (mostly from you talking about them) but is into other esports scenes, I think the best way to make content for the casual scene would be to instead of trying to cover all of to competitive scene at the same time, do a sort of mini series going over individual players that you think have a cool story so that we can become invested in specific names, and then as you make more and more of those you'll eventually cover so much of the scene that we actually have a frame of reference when you start name dropping people. This also would mean that you'd get people going back to check out the old videos who are specifically interested in the players that you covered, as I feel that's probably going to draw more attention then if you just did content covering a specific year in competitive scene for example Also keep bringing that excitement, your passion about the scene makes me want to care about it too

[@ReiniBlue]

Great to see Jdizzle and other Aussies do well when you guys come to other regions. Good luck to you guys

[@MD.1111]

This is exactly what we want. The title is exciting and the commentary is insightful 👌

[@larryli9051]

I love these analysis videos that you do of top players, I feel like it makes it so much more interesting bc I can see what the players are thinking, esp with the slo mo replays

[@rocketman093]

Yes more competitive! I love getting top player analysis to help learning what to watch for.

[@Deen12864]

I really enjoyed this, I like watching people analyze competitive sets, good stuff Joardan 👌

[@LanceOfRenais]

This was a great video good explanation with the Sm4sh game play and how Australia climbed up the ranks. This was good execution for a competitive video that a casual player could watch.

[@tristyngeren1972]

The competitive scene is lit I love watching it! Thanks for the content!

[@shortesnameofalltime]

WHAT JDIZZLE BEAT KEN WHAT??!! Edit: also ken isn’t top 10 I think he might be top 20 but with ultimates current state being top 25 is pretty much being top 10 range

[@Zomboinie]

You should go through some of the classic rivalries in competitive smash, making highlight videos showing the big moments, the underdog wins, the upset victories, the utter dominations, that lead to these hype stories! Show the more casual fans the best of the best when they're deep in the trenches, setting old grudges, and how close these photo finishes between smash legends can really be! Break it down, go over the critical mistakes, the embarrassing slip ups, and any cheese strats that left the crowd in an uproar! People might know names like MkLeo, Tweek and Gakt, but do they know the games that cemented their place in history as smash legends? Have they seen the absolute peak of *optimal gameplay*? If anyone can pass these stories on, it's Poppt1 for the win.

[@phoenixblaster8096]

Please keep posting competitive content! I love learning about how to pick up on habits of the opponent that you can punish.

[@HUTTB0LE]

Thank you for getting back to the smash content

[@absurdlybritish9541]

Hey! This is a great video, I really enjoy the more competitively geared content. I think if you'd want to get more people invested, is with this type of content, where you're almost explaining WHY that top player is doing what they're doing, almost deciphering the high level gameplay into smaller steps. That way they can learn little tricks for their own gameplay based on these high level games (which ofc means they'll hopefully remember your video when they apply them!)

[@drakejoshofficialyoutubech5569]

I'd also like to add that Jdizzle beat Hikaru, though it's worth mentioning that Hikaru seemed to have been playing Sora at this tournament so it's not the same compared to if he went Roy or DK, or heck, even beating his Mii Brawler is respectable since he seems to seriously use it for certain matchups. Either way I enjoyed the video because as someone who lives in the Western Hemisphere, any Japanese tournament that isn't super hyped up or a major tends to fall under my radar so I likely would've never heard of Jdizzle's crazy run at this tournament.

[@Yo_soy_Annna]

Yay! More Poppt1 🔥🔥 thanks for the Pro/casual Smash Bros content 👏

[@starlight_inami5292]

I love those videos and this one kinda reminded me of when Gluto made his first big waves in US as a french fan lol, super cool seeing you cheer that much for Aus and Jdizzle

[@Kajora47]

Love this type of smash content, keep it up Jordan 👌

[@AstrobeatSaturn]

Definitely down for more competitive focused videos; some of them have helped me out with my own tournament play as well!

[@JustinCarnitas]

Loving the competitive content, especially as someone who doesn’t know all the story lines or spends the time to keep up with the tourneys. My advise would be to watch some of NairoMK’s videos of him watching tournament’s live and commentating on them.

[@chinofadidas]

JDizzle is goated! His mid-set improvement and adjustment was so impressive

[@brysonmcfaull1218]

Loved this video! Love the competitive play highlights with commentary

[@Bob__Yosh]

If you wanna bring competitive stuff to a more casual smash scene, you should make shorts of you reacting to tournaments or analyzing top level plays kind of like how GothamChess has been doing

[@lucayaki]

There's something so fun about watching underdog (hah) regions. I think people care a lot more to elevate the entire place, rather than just themselves. I am from Brazil and, outside of shooters, we're wildcards in every e-sport, basically. I'll be rooting for the 'straya players from now on

[@esra3784]

I usually don't watch the competitive break down stuff, but this one was actually really exciting

[@bryanmulcare9083]

I love the analysis videos and I love to see more of these type of content. I also love the crew battle in smash four Japan vs America in 2017 frostbite.

[@drkrauser]

Keep up the competitive commentary. With your excitement it's great!

[@anthonysaul7809]

thx for covering this!! great content

[@emmanuelramirez3482]

absolutely love this type of video! glad australia is getting the recognition they deserve!

[@elliottsintas30]

I personally love the competitive scene and would love to see more videos on it since it also helps me improve in my gameplay

[@sanchopad]

Poppt!! As a casual interested in the competitive scene I would appreciate if some one kept me updated on the dates of the upcoming big tournaments because I would love to see more of them.

[@birdy_rocket8630]

I am all about competitive smash, it’s the reason I started watching your videos. Keep up the great work and hi from France.

[@Eli_Becker]

I play competitive so i would love more of that

[@TheCrashbandicoot36]

You def making the competitive smash more enjoyable

[@jeremys845]

Would love to see more content for this kinda stuff. Maybe some history of competitive smash as well?

[@MrMonki-zc4pr]

LESS GO JDIZZLE!!!!

[@franklinturtleton6525]

Poppt1 talking about hype is definitely hilarious, keep it coming.

[@jackbouwhuis2941]

Poppt, I think a great way to bring competitive smash to your audience would be to do a weekly tournament recap. You could analyze a few key matches/sets and help explain the story line that’s happening in the smash scene

[@Tatwinh]

As a Young Link main, I absolutely love him and this video is so cool. I felt the tension and the happiness! Great job Poppt

[@lancelee338]

I thought Jdizzle’s tag was Iono until you said something about it

[@judahfreeman8896]

I definitely liked this type of video it’s helpful to casuals so they can easily know who wins what tournaments

[@avocadoboy5402]

You should absolutely do more content like this, I'm pretty sure we all enjoy it a lot, I know for a fact I do.

[@aqua_serene]

Always love competitive content!

[@ZooM_37]

Competitive sets with you as a commentator are great to watch

[@kestrelynn]

I love the competitive content! I'd like if you did tournament recaps in a way similar to gotham chess: Going over the highlight matches and their highlight moments, explaining storyline and gameplay, just getting hype at it all!

[@hector7424]

This format reminds me of Drive to Survive. I think they really tried, and succeeded, to do a similar thing with F1. I knew nothing about the F1 scene but from just watching the show I can remember people and story lines. It gives me the option to jump into races or events on and off without feeling lost. So maybe try emulating some of the things they do there. Keep it up though I think this is new life to the channel that can hopefully bring in views and interest to you and competitive smash.

[@joshuadavis8265]

I love these types of videos. I’d consider myself a “good casual” I watch top 16 of all big tournaments. Play around 12.6m GSP but have never gone to a single tournament

[@nevohyams]

Commenting to say I like the competitive smash videos! I'd like to see a video on Genesis after it ends, looking at grand finals of just a noteworthy set. Even if other people make similar content it'll be nice to see your take/personality on it mixing competitive and casual commentary. But it'd also be cool to see unique video ideas around competitive smash! Anything competitive will be cool

[@zippyhealer]

I love the competetive smash stuff!!

[@tysonjame9637]

I love the competitive content especially when you talk about habits and in game mentality ❤️👍🏼

[@XykonOverlord]

I would love to see you compete and give updates on the Aussie smash scene!

[@jakeashmore2575]

Love the competitive smash videos keep it up poppt

[@orthostic1933]

i enjoy the set analysis and storylines, pls do more!

[@ashercandell3788]

I would keep doing the smash videos, but make them more then just casual playthroughs, sort of like Little Z's deadly spectates ect. Keep up the great content!!!

[@NilsManh1337]

Love this. Would be happy to see more of this

[@FaceSticks]

We basically get no coverage of Australian smash, so more videos on it would be amazing - not just Jdizzle but anything

[@femain1788]

I think if you explain the storylines and the stakes of each tournament people would become more interested. Example: telling people how genesis could determine the new number one spot after 5 years of Leo dominance and how both tweek and spargo are in contention. The also explain the other dangerous player to watch out for and why you like then. This would give people a reason to be interested since they are looking forward to seeing some of these match up or even stomps if a top player vs a unknown player.

[@hammsterminator]

Im a mostly casual player, but keep up this kind of videos man its so cool. Maybe you can do it for people that go on upsets only (cuz I am tired of seeing tweek vs spargo ngl) but I dunno, do whatever you want I'll watch

[@lancelee338]

5:15 He didn’t approach! Good, that’s how you play Smash Bros

[@unflameo9056]

I like the idea of summarizing competitive matches / tournaments 😮

[@CaptainQuebec]

I enjoy this type of video the most!!
