Quick tip most people may know this, but using a turtle pot and then a speed 2 pot will basically cancel out the slowness effect of the turtle master potion

[@KayloTaco]

But you could get overwhelmed by the opponents speed 2 makjng you lose

[@ProToGoOfficial]

@@KayloTaco my freind turtle master is 60% resistance thats only 40% of the damage. thats 60% of all damage not existing. you can out combo them

[@Shrooman_]

The speed potion is actually not that impressive and its mostly the fact slowness is only applied when you are touching the ground

[@KayloTaco]

@SylvsterNumskithen thats that. “But what if they dont have any weapons or armor?” Type of question

[@zander-sub5522]

I'll be using that, thx

[@alcatine]

im in an smp with 2 of my friends and recently we split up into 2 kingdoms, im by myself, and they are together, but as soon as that happened i started getting recommended smp pvp guides and this one may be the best one, i love it

[@Szabdm]

6:20 for anyone watching this with the newest update (1.19) you can now block explosives with a shield

No just do it with a block it is easier to get

I have only one thing to say, thank you Squid. Because when I started playing Minecraft, this video was the first PVP tutorial I’ve ever watched. And after looking back, I saw that this video helped me a lot and turned me into who I am now. I even still use your Hotbar and keybinds!

[@Ghost2ndamendment]

Heads up if you are pvping on a server YOU DO NOT NO WHAT YOUR OPPONENT HAS, so if you plan to crit them out but see them scroll over end crystals or respawn anchors scrap that plan, the second the see you consistently jump they are going to hot key to there crystals and obsidian and send you back to the spawn screen( the reason is because the lower half of your hit box is responsible for explosive damage, so when they see you jump and opening up more of your lower hit box they know they can get the easy kill)

[@Gasper...]

When your shield is down use f to switch to a totem until it's back. Or you can put a bow in your offhand

[@stardidthat]

thats a bit more maintenance but long term it does seem useful with getting extra hits in, so it may be worth if you plan on having a long fight

[@Kamfys]

I put gaps in my offhand. Most nethpot pvpers do and it saves time

Learning about the ping helped a lot, and made me realize that I fight a lot of players on high ping. Also did not know that's why people pre gapped:That is a very useful tip, thanks for that.

I have been looking for a in depth pvp video, one that is for more experienced players and i found it!! I train ppl for 1.16 pvp on a daily basis and while i knew all of the stuff in the video i am very glad i can now tell all my students to what he this video. There are other tips and tricks out there and i know some of them so maybe you could make a sequel of tips and tricks, more strategy then ideas. But like wow, great edit and I love how you have different ppl in it, it makes it so you dont get bored!! Very good job

[@Mahamfatima9]

You should use instant harming 2 arrows beacause they neglect armour. You can get quite an upper hand in smp or duels multiplayer or something

[@KatanafiedYT]

sadly protection enchant also lowers the damage of the harming arrow so not really good in prot 4 fights

I WON AGAINST 5 PLAYERS BECAUSE OF THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO

[@pinangpinang4999]

Are u old parrot

[@espul]

we need more people in the pvp community fr, best thing u can do is how in servers like VEN and die thousands of times. It’s important to understand the tier list as well. tier one (best) tier 5 (worst) this is for the more advanced people in the pvp community. For example, i’m tier 3 on the Potion pvp tier list, golfeh is tier 3 crystal tier list, Tryh4rdd is tier 1 potion. i believe rasplin is tier 2? somewhere around there. Tier 5 is everyone pretty much, tier 3 is being able to use crits and w taps effectively without fail, this is where people start to get advanced. tier 4 is anything in between 3 and 5, tier 2 is an improvement of 3, 1 is the mastering of all tactics. (this is for FFA tier list).

[@Auuuughhhhhhhhh]

This literally changed my pvping skills in one worth watching ia am kinda too pro on our private server i dominate others best guide ever i request a part 2 with much more about strafing plz

[@nerdysheep1437]

My progression strat for no lifing smps: Day 1: get a couple diamonds, find a village, build an iron farm, find a good base location (within a thousand blocks of a pillager tower) Day 2: build like a simple 2k-5k em per hour raid farm, build a villager trading hall at your base, start getting god diamond armor with raid farm exp Day 3: do nether fortress/potion stuff, finish up god diamond set, get netherite upgrade templates from a bastion, and start getting magma and mine any netherite you find Day 4: finish collecting magma and build a simple gold farm (I recommend watching shulkercraft’s videos, and also build a simple 2-4 piglin bartering farm, use your spare time mining for netherite (I generally recommend getting 7-8 for each member of your team) Now you have full netherite god armor with totems, gaps, potions as well as respawn anchors from the bartering farm (the glow stone is from the raid farm and villagers) you also have unlimited gunpowder from the raid farm. On long term servers, you could build a better raid farm and gold farms such as the ilmango entity cramming one. I hope this would help anyone who reads this, it is completely achievable with 3-7 hours a day of play time and you should be able to easily kill any of your friends or enemies with your respawn anchors and totems.

1.9 is all about aim (I played every day for 5 days so far my total playtime is 12 but the 2 hours are from like a year ago I also been on a few smp but nothing helped more than alot of practice on a pvp legacy I tripled my PVP skill in those 10 hours am able to get combos all the time thing that improved the most is aim I went from not being able to hit a still target to back-stabbing and combos all the time the second thing is timing like if I got in a combo back then I woudve just get destroyed now I can manage to get out of a combo and combo them back harder the 3rd thing is movement I now don't jump early for the crit and I get all my crits) looking good so far

What is also worth knowing, with god armor if you face many people at once, you can take exp bottles, so that u fix your armor with mending.

Heres a decent mention for the utilites- If you have a riptide trident and bucket, there are some situations where they are good. For example, lets say you dont have any totems left and you have used up all xp bottles. Use this as an opportunity to put your bucket or trident in your offhand, and putting the other item in your hotbar. This can be good for fleeing, while also giving a higher chance of escaping death, and instead of taking 2 hotbar slots, it only takes 1.

For any bedrock players (In which there is no attack cooldown), if you know that your opponent doesn’t have xp bottles, nor an extra set of armor, tridents shred armor durability. When your opponent is touching water (or under rain), tridents do extra damage. You can also riptide spam for more damage and armor shredding.
