You have plenty of content on this channel, on the Underdogs, and as guest appearances on other channels if people want to see your comedic side. Those videos are amazing and important to the brand, but for these tournament replays, get your sweat on. I would personally prefer these ones to be more analytical. I've loved the idea of you bringing competitive smash to casuals.

[@williamberry3596]

I don’t agree on the competitive over to casuals thing. I would personally hate if I ended up facing some mega sweat when I’m not good at the game. It would just ruin my overall mood.

[@vert2048]

@@williamberry3596 people don’t go to tournaments to not play competitively 😅, isn’t the purpose of a tournament to sweat?

[@MudNic1]

Completely agree

[@ShamGod33]

@@williamberry3596 I just meant in terms of videos. He is bringing competitive content to a casual audience in a way that is easily understood. In that way, he appeals to both.

Hate to break it to you, but he does this for every character only tourney. Can confirm as a Perthian.

[@lolkecks1951]

23:20 no no no please do more of this analytical thing I love hearing your thought process it makes it super rewarding to hear the habits and stuff and then be able to see how they are actually happening and being able to predict them. It helps a lot to hear how a player like you thinks. I mean it!

A 60 40 ratio of analysis and reaction would be pretty great. You do a great job at breaking down relevant interactions in a match, this is nice for those who haven't played in awhile and might be interested in playing again at a higher level.

[@thebiasedcomicman1554]

Totally agree 👍

[@simplyfrozenwater]

i think the level of analysis in this vid was great, especially considering it was a tournament where you were actually trying to win lol, the people interested in watching this tourney vid are largely gonna be interested in the thought process as well

[@diodorussiculus5293]

I like the analytical stuff! I also like the training arcs you did for the previous new character tournament runs

[@connergoldsborough4093]

I would love to see you try hard and win some tournaments again! With different characters even as long as it’s analytical and your personality always makes that fun and a learning experience too!

[@bradenwampler6288]

Absolutely love the analytical side. Your personality still shows through when you are analyzing, so don't worry that you sound like just every other vod reviewer. Love to see your thought process!

[@Raziel_HHL]

love the analytical style of your videos, thats what set you apart from the other Underdogs in terms of Smash content for me, if that makes sense

[@HyrumHansen]

4:20 I actually thought you were choking for second and it scared me

[@WDinATX]

Same 😅

[@HyrumHansen]

I’m a member now yay

[@grambottle033]

Honestly I think you're being too analytical about whether or not you're too analytical. Just do your thing, these videos are great! Your insightfulness and balance is just right because you're not trying too hard to be analytical or funny, you're just busting each aspect out when it feels right. Not every tournament is going to present the same number of opportunities for either, so just let the experience/gameplay dictate how you approach it.

[@richardmcnamara8715]

Well put

[@barnabygriffin7570]

[@ash1yn]

I absolutely love this video style!

[@MD.1111]

The analysis and commentary were hilarious and very enjoyable. Defo want to see you back in more tournaments and analysis videos!

[@Arch_va]

When Gordon started choking irl, I thought he was being stupid. I didn’t think it was a bit lmao

[@OmniBroski]

Hey poppt, great vid! I personally love when you get "too analytic" as I think you really have a way to explain yourself that is easy to understand, even if the listener is not "pro player level" If you have some tricks on how to find your opponent's habits and patterns in the next analysis video, I'd love that :)

[@laxly7695]

This style of video is sick and im glad youre continuing to put out content. :) Also around this level of "learning vs reaction" is stellar.

[@finn5873]

I loved the analytical moments in the video because you really explain them so well. You talk about the habit and then show you punishing that habit which is fun to watch. So I don't think you should stop yourself from getting too analytical.

[@dallinhunter7385]

Bowser also legit been one of my favorite characters since he got added in Melee, and I'm happy he's finally good in Ultimate (alt-main Bowser was rough in Melee so I usually played Peach or Doc), but yeah happy to see you give some analysis on playing with one of my favorites

[@rileyspurgeon8887]

Lmao the choking joke got me so good lmao😂😂😂

[@hiyashichuka2726]

12:18 That can be clipped heavily out of context

[@ryanbrown2257]

Love to see the tournaments keep it up, also nice cheating LMAO

[@kyledegentledude5768]

I like the analysis. You're funny in a lot of other videos, and you manage to be pretty entertaining when you are analytical. I like seeing you nerd out about smash tournaments lol

[@Oops_]

I think you had a great balance in this vid. I personally wouldn’t try and force one or the other too much. I love both sides. I think you already know the balance naturally. From what I can tell is that you analyze the beginning and mid fight then kinda enjoy yourself in the end when your winning and just reacting to your big lead.

[@Flishwap]

Great video Poppt! Personally I wouldn't mind seeing more of these tournament videos and quite enjoy the analytics of it. Never knew about the roll from Cloud's side B as well so more tips like this please :D

[@JustinCarnitas]

Love seeing you back at the tourneys Poppt! I'd say your blend of analysis and reaction in this video is perfect. You're really entertaining and insightful as well. Great stuff!

[@thenewbksu]

3:44 he knew what he was doing

[@ExpandDongMan]

Loved the combination of analysis and content man! Looking forward to you running the Australian scene with DK next ❤

[@chaseyoon8406]

Hi

[@nathanfox813]

You're funny regardless dude. And there's tons of videos of your comical side already. The analytical videos like this one are really interesting and extremely helpful. When you used to do daily uploads "except no-video Sunday" and most of the videos were just you playing online, you would throw in little tidbits here and there about what the opponent was doing or what you were thinking and that information was so valuable in me being a better player. I say keep this stuff analytical. It can even be both at the same time. Talking about how Bowser can just cheese Chrom's recovery, and how to adapted to how they were recovering high/low/whatever was analytical and helpful, and seeing it play out time and time again was funny to watch. That right there is the perfect mix of analysis and comedy.

[@owenhamilton1848]

Great video- I love watching you tryhard, and also the analysis is awesome. I hope you continue the challenge and complete a tourney with every character!!

[@milesredgate4596]

I personally come to these tournament videos for the analytical part. That why I also enjoy when you doing a video of the training beforehand, so you can really learn the character, what they're good at and how to use them so you can analyze the tournament even better.

[@darylpowell401]

The choking bit actually got me and I got really worried for a minute there

[@ISTANBALLER]

Man these videos slap so hard! I wish you did more of this kind of style there is nothing like it.

[@tax1283]

I really liked the analytical side to thid video. You have a good way of presenting that kept it engaging, and it feels like I learned some things too. I hope you make more like this in the future

[@emmanuelramirez3482]

LOVING this more analytical content, i think there’s a balance to be found, and you nailed it here. keep it up!

[@traj250]

Hey Poppt, love ur vids been sub’d a while. I love the current blend of analysis and reacting to ur gameplay. Honestly love the blend, keeps things fun while also informative. Good to hear how ur thinking, helps me improve as a player while having some memes. Also absolutely love the vids of u just playing smash (online, with friends, whatever) and just talking about your life updates/short stories. Would be amazing to see more of those vids, maybe even a podcast/low budget just you and maybe some of the underdogs just chilling, gaming, bantering and playing smash/otherwise chilling

[@CookieGal-]

The perfect blend is just being you bro. If that's analytical you will get people who are interested by it (like me 🤓)

i cant believe i thought he was genuinely just coughing in the first match when he was doing the choking bit. I realized by the end how stupid I was lol

[@Shmeb_]

I really like the analytical part, also amazing video’s, funniest underdog

[@adjak_gaming3333]

I missed these videos !! I love your Chanel man ! ❤

[@coolkidz8155]

I love it when you get super analytical. Cause I think its just really interesting to see what both of you were thinking while playing. And its also a good opportunity for me to learn

[@joe7380]

"with bowser shove up his big shell, shove his big shell up cloud..." ayo

[@RoboSparkle]

I'm just glad somebody finally explained why I randomly don't grab the ledge sometimes, especially since I main Kirby, so I almost always have a jump or an airdodge left and it always catches me by surprise, and I don't think I ever explained the issue properly and nobody knew what my problem was, so that was a perfect example. Thanks!

[@saam7737]

25:40 I could be wrong, but if you watch closely it looks like Chrom is pulling back way before he even touches browsers shield. If I had to guess, Denzel was going for some premium chrom cheese and trying to drag bowser offstage and grab the ledge himself. He just spaced it TERRIBLY

[@CanisInfernus]

I've been struggling with thinking about what I do in neutral and your analysis stuff is actually super helpful with that.

[@343Films]

Great video! Congrats on your tournament accolades 👏

[@saxgod001]

This is amazing! Good job! You should definitely try to win a tournament wih Sephiroth next!

[@Greatsword585]

Don't worry about being too anyalytical, it's something I really enjoy in smash youtube, and would love to see more of.

[@Greatsword585]

By the way, all of bowser's smash attacks have armor, but he also has invincibility on his shell during up smash and on his feet during f smash. Meaning, F-smash will straight up beat most other moves as they will clank with it instead of going through it. And even if they do beat it with the correct timing, he still has like 20% of damage worth of super armor during the duration of the move. Flame breath is busted, speen to win.

[@45heisman]

It's actually so funny to think you were so convinced he died that even days later when reviewing it you still think he died. Clutch moment. Also you do a good job with the ratio the key I think is to notice something give a hint move on and than bring it back up in a critical moment. Which you do well

[@vinavixen8696]

Jordan really entered his giant turtle into Croffts

[@skapenguin]

I will keep sharing this, smash needs a content creator who can actually break down matches and who can be super analytical. Someone who isn't a top player so they'll be less bias. I think you're awesome at it and should do more of it.

[@johmami4825]

These are some of my favorite videos of yours, and you doing it where everyone is playing Chrom was hilarious

[@justinlatiolais1833]

I like the analysis, it's really good and I love watching you play in general

[@TravisO14]

Love all of this! Love the analysis

[@inkkles]

cool thing about the explination at the end of the video, that time after arieals can be cancelled with nearly everything, including a walljump! If your character has a wall jump, you can do that ON THE LEDGE to instantly grab it out. Its very weird though, and if you do it too early you end up drifting away from ledge, but at that point u can up-b anyways.

[@dallinhunter7385]

I dig this style of video man, keep it up

[@CaptainQuebec]

i love those video so much!! thank you jordan also i think Ridley (my main btw) would be a great character for this serie

[@tharrock337]

not gonna lie, Croff week is a really epic idea. Also I believe this is the most BOWSER way to win a Tournament, you got to complete your villain arch at the same time. Lastly I think the blend off Analysis and Hype is actually not that important to me, go for whatever you want, the more you enjoy making it the more hype will even the analysis be. I might just be a big nerd aswell. Talk Nerdy to me, poppt!

[@nedyaranni]

The analysis is great and still entertaining don't worry about it. Keep it up!

[@AGTP527]

these are my absolute favorite videos of yours i think its a perfect balance of analytical and fun

[@Suuup_SSB]

I love the statistical commentary! I am in a ongoing tournament at my school and I am so interested to see how you can read what they do in the situation

[@jacksongillono2293]

As someone who wants to get into competitive smash more I would love if you tournament vids were very informational. Love your channel keep up the great vids poppt!!

[@merpswell3874]

Good video as always! I hope you play Inkling at a tournament some time. One of the most underrated and fun characters in the whole game in my opinion.

[@allidoisgame1]

I love the tournament videos, and i mainly watch them for the analytical aspect

[@nightfran1912]

Im glad Jordan did the Jack Black challenge.

[@griffincofell4738]

Jordan idk if you could be not funny if you tried. These analytical videos are always some of my favorites because they show off your funny side AND your actual unironic intelligent side lmao.

[@blobface103]

You don't have to apologize for being too analytical. Even as someone who doesn't play bowser, I learned a lot about the Chrom match-up. I'd love to see more breakdowns of plays.

[@user-kc3hv9nk8h]

Great vid! support for you and the underdogs through the cancer journey!

[@Mr.Quinge_Twilight]

As Piranah Plant Player, I would love if Poppt played PP Plant next tourney xD

[@ytrilogy1091]

Nice to see a competitive analysis vid every now and then. Cheers poppt.

[@only1sn1not1taken]

For the bowser down b, knuckles at the edge of the stage like it's the line of scrimmage. That's why you see Leon squat and crawl near the ledge.

[@cja1374]

You weren't getting too analytical. I like how these videos get increasingly analytical as the video progresses.

[@LEANSWORTH]

I really like the analytical stuff you do cuz it makes me realize I don’t do things like that and I’m gonna start looking for it now

[@londonl.5892]

I absolutely love the technical details! This is how I learn more about the game :)

[@Xxblade17]

I like this blend in the video wouldnt mind seeing more

[@WardoHayter]

Analysis videos and reacts to your tournaments are part of the reasons why i'm subscribed

[@JanembaFreak]

I love the analytical side of these videos. As someone else stated, we get lots and lots of pure comedy Poppt on the underdogs channels and the rest of this channel, so it's nice to get into the nitty gritty of competitive smash every once in a while

[@JanembaFreak]

That's not to say I don't like the funny, btw! I love your humor! Just don't worry about getting into the nitty gritty in these vids. Let the commentary flow

[@5hyguy42]

This is a good blend tbh I like a more competitive perspective but I had fun and learned while watching

[@PascalWalleye]

I liked it in this one as it got more and more analytical as we're getting closer to grandfinals.

[@mcusson2]

I like when you are analytical in a tournament setting. Even a non PR one.

[@Grand_Admiral_Thrawn2630]

With Poppt1 being my favorite Smash tuber and Bowser being my favorite character in Smash, I would LOVE to see Poppt get really good with Bowser and play him more. He talks about the flame breath but I still think he could utilize it more. It’s soooo much free damage!

[@frostythenooob6474]

I think the way ur doing there’s videos is perfect keep up the good work

[@float_peach]

I think you could achieve that blend you’re looking for by going into random stories about your life. It’s what got me and a lot of others especially into this channel.

[@flashpoint1186]

Idk if this is just me but I really enjoy the more analytical vids BUT I love all your content so keep it up POPPT!

[@ZMann-RSY]

The analysis is the thing I find the most interesting here. The thought process; the way how and when to commit, that's the best thing here; at least in my opinion.

[@typhlosion7872]

This man got five 3-0 sets in a row against four different people. Chroff day Poppt1 vs game 4 Leo

[@MudNic1]

Tbh I didn't notice you were being really analytical until you mentioned it. I really enjoy the more analytical parts as I suck and want to improve but you're also really funny so I don't mind whatever style of content you want to lean into (:

[@benjaminjamieson219]

Please I need more of this series. Mii Swordfighter would be hype.

It’s much easier to wave bounce side b than any of the other specials bc you side b behind you then flick the stick forward immediately vs having to time when you press your special
