[@DragonMaster1818]

That Steve was cracked

[@masked6326]

It’s crazy how effectively he just demonstrated the importance of your mental game in everything you do. He lost that last game at the opponent reveal screen and it’s not just because Steve is broken. Steve is broken, but Poppt definitely could have won that game if he locked in similarly to when he played Spammage’s IC’s.

[@mysteriousmuffin6017]

i think dedede steve is close to unwinnable lol

[@casual_ssb3282]

That Steve was also insanely good, way better than Poppt’s Ddd

[@masked6326]

@@mysteriousmuffin6017 It’d obviously be hard, but my point is that he didn’t even give himself a chance with his mindset.

[@masked6326]

@@casual_ssb3282 The Steve definitely seemed decent, but I still believe Poppt’s fundies and mental game woulda got him the win if he really tried.

[@casual_ssb3282]

@@masked6326 I really doubt it but to each their own. Dedede isn’t really a fundies based character. And that Steve was definitely more than decent, doing very consistent 2-3 block NILs. Being able to combo better than 99.8% of Steve players. Plus with Steve being banned in Australia I doubt poppt1 knows the matchup all that well. And I guarantee poppt has only ever played Dedede in world of light or during iron man’s.

[@LazyStarrfish]

You won with your top 10 characters, I’d say you did pretty dang well. I really enjoyed the philosophical conversation

[@extonjonas6820]

I would say that is the easy part. It is the winning with the rest of the cast that makes this challenge hard

[@cja1374]

I love how the game he lost was the one where he basically through all the advice out the window.

[@splaturials9156]

Steve is bullshit

[@rubypowell325]

An Ironman where the losses that happened because of steve don't count sounds fun to watch, because you can SD when you match into a steve player

[@rubypowell325]

@Poppt1 it's sad that this is a better idea than half of your discords video ideas

[@ThisAintGood.]

The fact that the words Iron Man aren’t in the title scares me

[@christiancraig9398]

Ik I was so confused

[@rlotts6607]

I like to think of it as establishing a rhythm and then hitting on different beats. That way you can choose options more than once just on different timings so it makes mixups a lot easier

[@sidecharacter7165]

Well a lot of the best martial artists were also good a t dancing since the skills translated very well. Timing/Pacing, endurance, strength, and distancing were all important in the ungada-bug ads smash warfare days. There is a theory even that women like to pick men who can dance well because it is a good indication that they can fight well, and men don’t like dancing if they don’t know how because it shows they can’t fight.

[@juhlian4255]

It’s something you do in boxing aswel, establish a rhythm through jabs and feints and then switch it up

The important ding boom interruption

[@SupremeOverlord24]

Easy to say from a high point of view, but the mentality went out the window as soon as Steve showed up. It'd be interesting to see you apply the same techniques to facing Steve - I reckon you got it!

[@dark9gaming20]

Poppt was calm and determined............ until steve appeared

Steve is busted

[@cakeboy.]

never stop the smash bros content

[@Hisho30]

16:00 I don't know why but the final Steve part was just too funny. I mean, I understand that he's banned in Australia due to his extreme controversy of winning tons of tourneys but sometimes, it is a bit fun to see the reactions of Steve kinda being the busted mess he is. He's not fun to play against, that I get, but the way he broke Poppt's shield and crafting the big F is something not to laugh about, in a good way. Anyway, we are hoping we can still do better by defeating Steve as much as possible

[@esra3784]

7:25 you bullied that man so hard

[@gaslightgatekeepgaleboss]

2:53 you have to manually get your kart back by hitting A, although I think sometimes multi hits will automatically give his kart back(?) Also if you hit Jr out of his up b with something that doesn’t send him into tumble (like the late hit of a nair or something) then he won’t be able to get his cart back at all

this di in my top 3 poppt1 videos of all time, great job i love the balance between advice and entertainment (i also really like musashi so that helps )

[@samuraienjoyer9981]

Steve players: Idk why people hate my character so much, they're just bad at adapting 16:45 yeah bro, uh huh

[@bigdonutstudio]

Mountain/River: When the opt is rushing and unfocused on style then stand strong on your own, be unmoving in your way. River/Mountain: If Opt is unwilling to change to improve then rush them with flow of your improvements. The book speaks on improving on your own efforts to meet all challenges instead of meeting 1.

[@ChaosSolak]

I thought it merely meant "don't try to beat your opponent at their own game", honestly. They'll usually have more experience than you.

[@michaelshaughnessy1919]

Poppt talking about reading this book and the main takeaway was just "stay chill, get the kill". The secret was within you the whole time, you just had to accept it

[@kalemleland6768]

I have a kickboxing fight in a couple weeks. I will read the book

[@content439]

This the second or third smash youtuber talking about meditation helping with this game. havent played much online but will be soon. im guessing this game is just so mentally taxing sometimes you need to find your center lol. more power to you bro.

[@n.2597]

Kinda ironic that Steve was the most anticipated character for smash and is now the most hated😂

[@connorluttrell7517]

I REALLY like this video. Looking at strategy and tactics in smash through the lens of philosophical lessons and such. Keep it up

[@loshtrimpo8781]

It's really interesting what you said with the ding boom timing thing because it's really similar to how music works. I'd suggest you read something about music (stuff like odd time signatures, sixteenth notes and tempo changes) because it literally is the same thing. If you start to recognise it in songs you will start to recognise it in smash too. Most music is written in 4/4 time signature which is what we're used to and it's the basic timing in smash, but listen to any song in 3/4 and you will understand

[@romanagne]

This is actually a really cool take. Smash Bros. definitely has a rhythm to it and I feel like music theory could definitely improve ones game overall

Petition for the last match against a banned character not counting:

[@geertverheijen7]

Poppt, when you decided that you 'weren't comfortable with the remaining characters', ( 15:50 ), you decided to lose. You have no reason to doubt yourself so. Love, Miyamoto Misashi

[@not_shxrky]

Nows the time to study that book even more and get an iron man with all 89 characters 😂

[@tyfi31]

I might have to read this book, Poppt is making it sound so interesting

NOT THE FORBIDDEN ANCIENT TECHNIQUE OF FORCING YOUR OPPONENT TO BUFFER AN OPTION

[@HawkTeevs]

Honestly, this approach to Smash is super super good Smash in general is a mental game more than anything (at least competitively), so it only makes sense to learn how to mind game your opponent by reading from a really skilled IRL fighter

It doesn't matter if steve is banned in tournaments, you are playing in casual multiplayer where anyone can do whatever they want and that is not abiding by tournament rules. It isn't win a tournament with every character in a row, its win online with every character in a row.
