What The Room number

[@bossmonl.a2035]

I noticed how you're not saying the meta of the current season in the gameplay. You're saying mobility item instead of shockwaves for example. I'm watching this video for the first time, n now we're in chapter 5 season 1. So your choice of words made this video timeless because no matter what season you watch this. It will still makes sense, be valuable and won't confuse others....You are truly the ultimate Fortnite professor. Thanks for your hard work, I can tell that you put in in. 💪🔥👍👍🎮

[@number01rabbit]

What a game…good gameplay, good shots, good analysis, satisfying win!

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Thanks Vince! Yeah luck had a hand in this one for sure, but I hit some nice shots and played to win

[@regycyde289]

This vid was fantastic, as usual I have learned a new trick or two! Great commentary and insight, it gave me a better thought process and has taught me that it is ok to knock and reposition instead of always trying to get the kill. My duos partner always seem to thirst the knocked players instead of focusing on the actual threat which is the person with the gun shooting at us. I loved this type of vid showing your thought process through an entire match, keep'em coming.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Thank you Regycyde! Glad you liked it, more to come for sure

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Yeah, I see a lot of new players go for the thirst instead of focusing on the danger, which often ends in disaster. They knocked enemies will be thirsted automatically when the team is wiped! Haha. Only thirst if you are safe :)

[@ItsCliffGaming]

I would love to see an updated take on this, now that mobility is out of the game.

[@ct1236]

Just started Fortnite 🔫and using your content to learn about this game. Grateful! 🙏😊

[@MN_nice3565]

Awesome tips. Definitely going to use them. I don't use distance and always go in and start fighting. My load outs are long range rifle, AR, shotgun, no metas, a heal and mobility. Thank you so much.

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Thank you so much for this legend of a video, got lil more learning from more situations. I've won solo vs squads in build mode thanks to hammer meta due to ganking in buildings n knockback n no fall damage glitch few patches ago. also using deku smash n its knockback is worth it. For none of these it's harder but if u get lucky exploiting their conflicts n lucky then there is chance u can make it.

[@anannoyance4807]

i won a single solo squads in my life, back in chapter 1. I hadnt meant to queue into squads but just wanted to try for the hell of it. Hid most of the game and killed the last two as they healed.

[@chasefarrell]

Love this! I just recently discovered solo vs duo/trio/squads and I've been having a lot of fun with it. Lots of great tips here - I never realized crowns ping @ storm changes. Do you know how SBMM is affected with solo vs squads? Most of the time it feels like the individual skill level of the other team members is slightly lower than wherever I'm at, which helps offset being outnumbered. But occasionally I'll get wrecked by sweats so I wasn't sure if SBMM is any different than something like BR solos

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Thanks Chase. Yep, everytime the storm closes or you get a kill, the crown pings - which I think is a great mechanic, gives some risk for the reward haha... even if the reward is just a worthless brownie point. Really not sure how SBMM works for solos vs Squads. I think squads is generally easier across the board because less sweaty players play it. Most sweats prefer solos or duos because it's more competitive, and maybe also because they don't socialize much 😄. I think it also really depends on the time of day you play, these players were pretty mid because this was a late night game in my timezone. Surprised I didn't see a single bot though!

Super helpful 👌 Very well articulated ❤ Thank you for sharing your tips 😀

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words ❤️

[@GregCook68]

❤ this. I use the same tactics but don't execute it as well. Never tried one vs Squads.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Give it a go... sometimes it can be demoralizing if you run into some sweaty squads, but most of the time it can also teach you a lot about maintaining proper spacing from enemies, as well as baiting tactics, etc.

[@GregCook68]

@@TobyWanShinobi I actually tried it tonight and got 8th place. I believe I would have placed higher if I hadn't messed up with the ODM and landed in the wrong place. Using what you suggested upped my game big time (doubled my usual kills) but I wasn't able to maneuver fast enough to defend myself or escape. I'll definitely try again. It was super fun watching people react.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

@@GregCook68 Nice! 8th is good for a solo :) Yeah, in solo vs squads you REALLY need to be hyper aware of the very thin line between having an advantage and being dead haha. You always have to have an escape plan and stay a step ahead of the enemy.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

And in the current state of the game (no katanas) solos vs squads is harder because you can't stack extra mobility... pretty much everyone has the same mobility so it makes it extra difficult to get out of bad situations.

Hey, solo vs duos is a great way to add a challenge also. Thanks for your support my friend ❤️

[@happytime2781]

great tips man :) but endgame you made big mistake that could cost you. You said at 20:40 there is no heals when it was chest right in front, probably something in small house and barrels on the further left. There was enough time to use them when other team fought each other

[@Root_For_Health]

Any tips on how to stay calm in "sweaty" situations? I've been known to throw a few med-kits from panic switching. 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Haha happens to the best of us. Probably need more combat experience. I recommend the red vs blue creative map that I linked at the top of the comments in my "Advanced Combat Movement" video. Generally freakouts like that are just a sign that you aren't confident in combat.

[@larissa0671]

And what should you do if they come at you with the ODM or Spider the second they see or hear you, because this is what every team is doing for me, the come to close range almost instantly

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Try shooting them out and if that doesn't work, leave immediately. You need to keep good distance from the majority of them. If one chases you alone, then take the fight while they are separated from their team. Eliminate them, thirst them, then move again to confuse the remaining enemies on where you are located.

[@larissa0671]

@@TobyWanShinobi They never chase me alone, if i try to leave they follow me until they got me

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Generally the root of the issue stems from the start of the fight. Try to eliminate one on their own quickly. You shouldn't be starting a fight that you can't finish, so reposition and look for a new opportunity until you can. If the enemy team is all near eachother and not distracted, you probably have no chance of winning it.

[@larissa0671]

@@TobyWanShinobi In Solo its the exact same shit, i shot them and they push me instantly, i always die, its not fun at all to play this game

[@TobyWanShinobi]

@@larissa0671 Sorry Larissa... Fortnite can definitely be rage inducing and make you want to quit. Which is totally fine, a break is healthy. This happens to me on stream sometimes - I just get unlucky / mess up over and over again and its pretty depressing lol... Especially when I have 30+ people watching me. The little voice in the back of my head starts saying "your a joke. Why would they want to watch you. Are you stupid?" etc. etc. So I know how it feels. But if you WANT to improve at the game (which is ok if you don't want to) - you gotta pick yourself up and try to learn from your loss. Break it down, try to understand why you lost. Sometimes its just bad luck, but most of the time you could have done something differently and maybe you just have to improve at a certain aspect. As soon as you learn what you need to improve on, you can start working on that particular skill. Hope that helps!

So with No mobility in the game now I'm guessing this isn't too viable anymore.. Unless they bring back Katana or something 🤞

What is The Room number

[@kauagomes7061]

This mod

[@fish_R_stinky69]

It's easy af if they don't rush you so you can run away after every kill.

[@TobyWanShinobi]

More about starting the right fights. Don't start a fight you don't have an advantage in. They don't chase here because they don't have much opportunity to. They are either being fought by another team or running to zone, are hurt from a previous fight, or are too spread out. Solos vs Squads is purely about being opportunistic and choosing the right fights. It will never work out if you start a fight with 4 healthy enemies who are grouped together, have mobility, and you are their sole target.

[@Dsurup]

It didn't change shit

[@feralpossum5730]

This video is very similar, and I found the tips to be very useful, but I would love to see you make a “guide to carrying!” A couple of my buddies downloaded the game, and we’re getting put into pretty decently skilled lobbies. I just can’t keep up while they learn! Could use some tips from the GOAT, TobyWanShinobi. Just a suggestion for a future video, thanks for your hard work man!

[@TobyWanShinobi]

Stay with them (keep an eye on them at all times) and ask them to constantly communicate their movements. Just keep asking them "where are you guys? What are you carrying?" And then keep saying stuff like "keep close - danger near" etc etc. Ask for help often, even if you don't need it so they get used to moving with teammates and team shotting. Try not to flank too much because when they are new they go down quick and doesn't give you enough time to get the right angle before it becomes a 4v1.

[@feralpossum5730]

Thanks so much! I’ll keep be sure to try these out. Especially asking for help, I think that’ll get them much more practice in than what we’ve been doing. Looking forward to the next upload!
