You are very calm with your matches. 🙂

[@CafieroNick]

Hi Jtails! I was the Ness in this video! I was so excited when I saw that I had run into you online, I've been watching your stream and your youtube videos for sometime now and your ness commentary has really helped me improve as a player. I'll definitely remember stay away from those ledge double jumps from now on! Can't wait to root for you at your next tournament!

[@JulesTrades]

YESSS Happy to hear the comments helped you out. I hope you see some improvement!

[@superfupahecc]

[@jeffferreira1321]

I wouldn't mind these being a bit longer.

Just a bit longer. like 30 mins to 1hr videos please. Not asking a lot here 😏

[@jayaveNB]

Same here, your demeanor and commentary are awesome and VERY helpful

[@Yoyuyi999]

DORIYAH!!!!

[@ragnarawr]

Ganon is always so fun to play! In a future video, it would be really fun to watch you cycle through characters online -- randomly pick one character to start, and for every successive match, switch your character to the opponent you faced in the previous match. It's like squad strike -- except the opponent decides your roster!

[@JulesTrades]

That's actually really fun! I like the idea of this!

[@gregorymccoy3538]

Good idea

[@pokeyclawz8727]

Yess

[@maxryan8150]

The reason I'm always excited to see a new video from you is your commentary, insight, and great attitude while you play. While I don't hate combo/montage videos, I don't think that's what I would want to see from your channel. Things like your movement and recovery tutorials are definitely something I'd be more interested in seeing from you in between the Elite videos and character guides. I'm not sure if this is something you even do, but uploaded coaching sessions are always a great learning experience for me as well, and I think your teaching style would help people out a ton. Just my 2 cents, thank you so much for all of your work that goes into this channel. I know it's helped me improve as a player.

[@culex582]

The reason I subscribed to your channel and check everyday for new vids from you is to learn the game. There are plenty of youtubers and streamers who play to entertain their viewers, but your channel is valuable to me because you play to teach, to share your experience, and to walk us through your thought process as you play your matches. Your positive attitude is also very good for the community. I enjoy your Elite Smash series as well as your Competitive Tutorial series of videos and I do hope you continue to make those. At this point in time, I and many other people are looking into finding a second or third character so those series of vids are also helpful in finding characters that people can get interested in picking up. Some people don't have the time to experiment with every character or reach a certain skill level to gain a good understanding of the character, so your vids help people to see the potential that a character has and if it will mesh well with what the player wants. I would love to see you do a video concerning advice on picking up a secondary or advice on character types and matchups. Since the game is still in its early stages, I understand that this sort of thing will probably not be easy or feasible until later on. Another series that I would like to see from you is your commentary of pro matches. Some tournament matches involving pro players are covered by commentators who are more focused on entertaining the audience, so hearing your thoughts on these matches from a technical and teaching standpoint would be great. Thanks for your hard work. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!

[@thayerbirch4847]

I think the elite smash videos you do are a good format. The content I would personally like to see would be an extension of what you're already doing in the elite smash videos. I think the comments on the match ups and on how you're interpreting your opponents play-style are particularly helpful (for instance the comment on trying to DI Zelda's kick but being too big addressed playing against Zelda both in general and as Ganon, and the comments about Zelda rolling after any commitment for an example of play-style). I think returning to characters for extra "episodes" of a character in elite smash could also help get a breadth of matchup knowledge. Another thing I would personally find interesting: occasionally walking through replays of your matches after the fact to break them down in an environment where you can pause the match to finish thoughts or focus on aspects of match that would ordinarily pass to quickly to say much about.

YOO A BREAKDOWN VIDEO OF A REAL MATCH WOULD BE DOPEE$$$

[@cloudgalaxy9231]

I'd love a video about punish game/ limiting options. I feel like I don't know exactly how to box up close (especially online), and I'd just like to get more efficient with my coverage. (Even if it's character non-specific, it'd still be useful to me.) Thanks for everything, man.

[@untoldtales1325]

It would be awesome if you uploaded more tournament matches of yourself or other top tier players with insightful commentary throughout the video. I bet you'd do a great job breaking down the matches.

[@wlt3585]

First video, amazing impression. I love how you describe everything that's happening, from reading to your mistakes, along with tactics and moves

[@lyricaltree6849]

Combo tutorials would be really appreciated.

@@sharifhaque99 I meant google the videos unless his Ganon combos are superior in nature than anyone elses

[@elmiau4225]

LyricalTree 68 Combo tutorials tend to be a bit useless. Trust me when I say Smash is not just about combos, it is also about predicting what your opponent will do next and knowing how you can punish their mistakes. Yes you can learn a few tricks from combo tutorials, but you also need to get creative with your own style instead of depending on what others do. That’s how you get better at the game.

[@jayaveNB]

I second this, i know its alot of work but if u could do combo videos that are SLOW, most youtubers make them with out explaining what they r doing and we have to guess or hope someone commented

[@jonch25]

I know a lot of people watch these gameplay videos to learn about how to fight against these characters with their main. Maybe adding a "how to fight against this character" portion of each character guide or gameplay would help a lot.

[@JulesTrades]

This is a series I've been wanting to make for a while now actually yes! "how to beat" series.

[@kallioli]

Honestly, I could watch hour long videos from you, Jtails. You're so insightful and calm and skilled. It's just a real pleasure, and I like to think that it's also educational, to watch your content!

[@yackamajez]

I think you should make videos going over the different aspects of competitive smash(neutral, ledge trapping, creating openings etc.) from a conceptual standpoint. You’re really good at making things easy to understand and I think if you made these types of videos it would be very informative

[@alejomunoz5723]

Yo man, so I’ve seen a lot of your videos with the different characters, have enjoyed them all even your fav Ness you do outstanding with. But in no kidding with Ganon you just destroy people and give them no chance. You + Ganondorf = Superb

[@gregorymccoy3538]

Your videos are awesome and super helpful. I realize I was playing Gannon wrong and need to use fewer specials and more tilts and Aerials. It's pretty funny that people are telling you how you should play in the comments when you are the professional and better than most of them.

[@Yoyuyi999]

I enjoy your Ganondord Jtails. It’s a very unique name for your distinct playstyle on the king of dordness

[@808pascal2]

Ganondord is a pretty unique name. Especially for the king of dordness.

[@Eravel]

Hot damn, I LOVE how methodical your mentality is, it's great stuff to learn from. Especially the way you read your opponents!

[@Kassew]

I'd personally love to see a comprehensive ROB guide. I couldn't care less about combo montages. They're cool but just so over saturated. I know for me, the very well made character guilds brought me to your channel. Thanks again for the great content.

[@808pascal2]

He hasn't made a competitive ROB guide yet but he made an elite smash ROB video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJ26o6WLmd2sbtk

[@JackReynoldsCreations]

Constantine Tanner I agree. I would rather see more effort put into comprehensive videos and maybe some more in-depth videos but if he has the time and effort to put into the montages I would still watch them

[@zenbrown7144]

I love this type of content, the way you explain why you go for things and how you notice your opponents habits really helps me as a player, and not that many content creators make gameplay so informative.

[@sherrdreamz7232]

Elite Smash videos are my favorite to catch from you and most Smash tubers personally.

[@tomc.5704]

I'd love to see you commentate matches. Your own would be fine, you can pack a lot more content into video if you don't have to focus on winning. But you can also take matches from anywhere. Heck, you could make that a patreon bonus if you wanted.

[@jayaveNB]

[@Zondeln]

I love your content where you play matches and talk about your strategy as you play. Obviously, I love seeing my mains, but I can learn lessons from every one of these videos. I want to see more of your mains!

[@thomasfox1959]

I would love to see high tier counter videos if that makes sense. I don’t know how economically your time would be spent, but for me my brother always seems to be a step ahead with his Main compared to mine. I would love to see a “Counter Cloud” style video, for example, all about the characters short comings and how to punish players using said characters. Not to mention I believe it could be very good content for you because I don’t see anyone else doing it, so it would be very individual as well. You could, for example, take clips of how you punish characters from your elite smashes and what not. Love the elite smash videos as well and would love to hear your thoughts on the video series idea!

[@adambarker1626]

awesome idea

[@ThePwNiNTaCo]

Please make a Competitive Toon Link Guide! As well as an Elite Smash video for him! He’s my main and I’m tryna get better! I know you main him, so it would be helpful. Otherwise, your content is some of my favorite Smash stuff on KZbin

[@dark5358]

If your opponent isn't teching Ganon's side special (such as the Ness), down tilt is a confirm. I'm enjoying these Elite Smash videos

[@victorgbs]

To add to that, instant dash attack (input dash + c stick) covers no tech, tech in place, and roll away (the timing is kind of strict because you can't really buffer the dash). The only option it doesn't cover is roll behind, which can be covered by dash attack behind, down smash, or another flame choke.

[@kc1423]

I've been watching all of your videos recently and I have enjoyed all of them. I like most aspects of what you have been doing including the length and subject. Keep up the good work!

[@Xcron]

I really like videos like this because it helps me learn the thought process of better players so I can improve my game a bit more.

[@FaeriePuck]

I feel like you’ve probably put the information out there already but I’d love a video about how you got into smash, how your mains evolved with your play style, what kind of video games you like and why, what your relationship is with video games in general. I really enjoy a less sweaty and also less memey commentator/player. I feel like it’s a great niche I appreciate. Also just gotta day you break down strategies in a very digestible way

[@Soulunion4life]

i would love to just watch you being chill and enjoy the game with whatever character you feel like

[@HarleQuinSP]

I enjoy your content because you explain your thought process as you play giving me a better understand of why you do what you do. So more of the same really, the character guides are also great. One thing i suppose i would like to see from you is perhaps more guides on general game fundamentals. As someone who enjoys the competitive side of smash but isn't really good enough to be there yet i would love to see some fundamental guides that can be applied to any character. Keep it up dude :D

[@sams7068]

I would like more guides on the general fundamentals of the game, since you're very good at teaching things. But no obligation because I know that kind of guide is probably more time consuming to set up, and these videos teach a lot of fundamentals anyway. Thanks for the videos JTails

[@JermanatorD12]

This is pretty awesome, haven't seen other in depth videos like this and hope to see more now that I'm subscribed!

[@jimmytran5998]

Well , I just love Character Guides and how you demonstrate your approach in Elite Smash so .. that’s fine !

[@devontroester5035]

[@christianforde3508]

Ah Yes! My main man Ganon!

[@xyliahvortex661]

I use up-smash out of shield a lot because it punishes cross-ups and rolls behind.

[@Tightness8]

Dash attack can cover no-tech, tech in place, and roll away

[@perrinsilveira6759]

I would thoroughly enjoy some slow-motion analysis of tournament finals or grand finals games. Analysis is definitely your strong suit, and it would be cool to for you to point out all the little things that make the game so interesting and have time to talk about them.

[@josephnicholls5018]

Keep doing elite smash videos man, these kinds of videos are my fav from you

[@sarah7261]

More elite smash 💛💛 I love hearing your commentary on the fights and watching you play

[@justinvu11]

All of your videos are really helpful, but I think my favorite are the guides that aren’t character specific since they apply to everyone (e.g. movement and recovery). I’ve learned a ton from those! Love when you assign hw haha

[@greatwhitnorth]

Ideas for content that I think you’d be great at: - high level player character reviews and explanations (example: Tweeks Wario and what he does well that the common player can adopt) - High level gameplay vid reviews (genesis etc) - character guides always great whether elite smash gameplay with commentary or more structured guides - concept guides - top ten lists related to smash education (e.g. top ten situational moves, top ten moves you should avoid in ultimate, etc.) - elite smash iron man video (would be a longer video) where if you lose you have to use the next character in line from a roster of a size of your choice

[@jasonh6312]

Something that I think would be neat that I don't really see other Smash guys doing (though I do see people doing in different games like Dota) would be videos of your lessons (assuming your students agree). It could be interesting to see what questions they ask, what basic things they're missing without realizing it, how they improve as you help them, etc.

[@tricky1800]

I really love the character guides followed by the elite smash videos. It's a great combo

[@TimManuelMiranda]

Love these videos and learning about your thought processes. It's useful to learn about a handful of match ups, but I would like to learn about more matchups as well for one specific character. Maybe that could be done as tier lists settle. Or could be a more general thing, like against spacies or against swordies. Keep up the good work!

[@natechartier4645]

I think it’d be cool to see like, popular matchup guides. It’d be interesting to see character-specific matchup guides

[@nickross5364]

I enjoy the guides and the elite smash vids on the channel. And maybe you could do breakdowns or analysis of your tournament games but the content right now is great keep it up

[@jothello9162]

Hey Jtails can you cover Marth again in a video sometime? I want to learn other ways of playing him other than the aggressive style you used in your elite smash video, and your videos are great for teaching people what they should be going for as a certain character. Other than that I love the elite smash videos, the only thing that could improve them is if they were longer.

[@user-ju8jv5jo2p]

I love how calm you are when you play. It’s a nice change of pace from listening to ZeRo scream while he gets destroyed in World of Light. Could you possibly start up a small series where you break down the weaknesses of each character in Smash? I’d love to know exactly what to watch out for to punish, what type of characters have an advantage over them if played right, etc (i.e. when you were talking about how If a Ness doublejumps high, he can be killed easily). That’d be real cool :)

[@barrackobama5468]

Really good ledge option for Ganon to mix things up every once in a while it jump straight into flame choke. It catches people off guard a lot

[@noxumbra3429]

Very good video, I liked the play and the insights. You got a new sub, keep this up!

[@MoonQueenWolf]

I'd like to see fundamental guides, discussion videos, character guides, vod analysis, more elite smash videos, basically just anything that I can listen to at work. I really like listening to these in the background, and I don't usually click on content like montages as much. Also wanna throw in a request for a Roy guide and/or elite smash, and a PT guide and/or elite smash that goes a lot into squirtle and zard (since everyone plays and talks about ivysaur nowadays, and I feel the other two are under-developed and under-utilized)

[@MoonQueenWolf]

Also I was one of the people who suggested longer videos, and I appreciate it. I feel like I got a lot more out of this video than the other elite smash uploads since I was able to understand your thought process + your character and opponent's options better.

[@MesaCoast]

To answer your question, I really like your instructive commentary that you do doing your videos, you do a great job of explaining your rationale so I'd like to keep seeing this sort of video. I think if you want more subs and to grow your channel you should probably do combo montages and some more clickbaity titles (it's sad but there's a reason people do that). That being said, I'd still love to see this sort of thing as well since you're a very smart player and do a fantastic job of explaining things as you're playing rather than just shouting stuff at the game like a lot of more popular channels do. It's important to note that you'll have a hard time growing your channel if you aren't doing anything original or contributing something unique to the community, and I think your commentary style while you're playing does a fantastic job of separating you from the crowd and losing it would harm your channel in the long run. I'd like to see your channel grow since I really appreciate your videos, so I've been recommending you to some friends as well. Good luck!

[@Manholmes]

Great pointers on Ganon. I think your videos are so educational, and you could do a great tournament analyses. After a great tournament match, pros go over those videos again and again and you could give us a window into that process. Get a hype tournament set, and go play by play on top players decisions. More in depth than live commentary, keep the focus on teaching about why decisions are being made.

[@iTempon]

Just found ya and I love the videos! Amazing live commentary, great attitude, and a excellent player. I look forward to learning a lot

[@majesticraithier5332]

[@harrisonhallstudent3461]

I only play Ganondorf, Ike, and Sheik. I do not play seriously, nor do I even own a Switch (my friends have them so I get to play here and there), but my one buddy cant beat my Ganon. I can get him stuck on the stage using just Flame Choke. He would either role behind me, or recover with a hit. I would track him/dodge and Flame Choke again and again. It was entertaining. My roommate says Ganon cant win in 1v1's, buuuuut I do alright and have fun. Appreciate the video, learned a lot more about Ganon!

In addition to combo tutorials like mentioned before, also just a (categorised) combo video where you show all/most combo's a character can do, in rapid succession without much explaining except for some important pointers.
