Lots of you guys liked the gameplay analysis from last video, so here's another; this time with Cloud! If you enjoy this type of video and want to see more, do lmk!

[@Hired_Merc]

I wanna see more! Your explaining really helps improve. Ty man

[@bormahtiid3162]

Love the analysis videos. Gives insight as to what you’re doing and why. Really need to work on my own patience lol. Good work!

[@phy_]

Thank you glad you’re enjoying them!

[@edgargarcia6764]

I agree with you about Wi-Fi Mario's. Sometimes I struggle with them as bowser. Enjoying these analysis videos.

[@phy_]

Yeah Mario definitely beats Bowser. Glad you're enjoying!

[@derp4752]

I have no idea how I missed this video last week! These are probably my favorite type video from you, keep up the good work (and those nice spikes)!

[@Silverslayed]

Damn, I watched this vid and expected to see way more views and comments. Your analysis was great. Definitely deserves more traffic.

[@phy_]

thank you I appreciate that!

[@JeremySry]

LEGEND.

[@phy_]

Thank u bro!

[@Azoonaloc13]

thanks for the vid man, you've taught me a lot, my cloud is way too aggressive and you've given me a lot of ideas on what I need to improve on to be more well rounded.

[@JoseELeon]

cloud against heavies is reserved to Chinese monks, that patience is unreal

[@phy_]

for real bro it's soo stressful

[@jetixdbz1]

Im so glad that I'm not the only one. I struggle so hard against heavies with cloud Especially donkey Kong and bowser. Sad

[@JimmySlick]

Awesome brother! Hope to play soon

[@phy_]

Thanks bro, for sure I'll do viewer battles sometime this month!

[@quietone5453]

This video was super useful! The analysis of the matches was very insightful!!

[@phy_]

glad you think so thank you!

[@jetixdbz1]

Amazing video! Would love to see more of this!

[@phy_]

More to come!

[@isaiahthechristiangamer8716]

I agree with you about the Mario. As a Mario main, I love to Up-Smash. Sometimes I’ll try too hard trying to space my aerial attacks. Another bad habit I’ll do is that I’ll try to go for dash grabs, just for a simple Down Throw combo.

[@jorgezarate9769]

Great work bro, thanks!

[@BiggDrigg]

Thanks this was a really cool video and very helpful!! Super clean how you kept hitting all the gordos back in the last game. I gotta practice that cause i get wrecked by that move. But thanks for showing how its done

[@Frilleon]

That was very enjoyable to watch

[@phy_]

Glad u enjoyed 👍🏻👍🏻

[@franknfoot7200]

Great vid!!

[@stsalty1788]

I was about to comment on your bowser one for a cloud one (because im a cloud main) thank you so much I feel like im so close to elite smash but still really far

[@grudgin1877]

So true. Gotta be patient with heavies 😢

[@DecentPerson101]

I was 1 game away from elite smash and this freaking donkey kong just destroyed me. Thanks this video helped😊

[@antoniopatru8123]

as a learning Cloud main with potential, I really love landing complete climhazzard. I've even gotten lucky enough to survive and recover from spiking someone with it,

[@Shuelky]

This video is highly needed. Seeing that people win by being dumb and mash like there life depends on it annoys me.

[@driptcg]

Nice!

[@KrazyKaiju714]

That's that I've been saying about Cloud versus heavies! But I'm wondering if I'm just not able to do proper setups into limit - RAR nair into cross slash or falling up air to finishing touch. The latter isn't as broken as Smash 4 but somewhat easier on tall heavies.

[@phy_]

I love those set ups super stylish. Thing is they aren’t very safe on shield, and if the heavy knows how to play the match up, they’ll literally just hold shield all day against cloud because what can he do? LOL

[@KrazyKaiju714]

@@phy_ That's so true. Good point about those not being safe on shield, and Cloud really becomes a glass cannon in those MUs. At the moment I can't think of anything that gives him the edge. Not sure why MU charts would rate the heavies at mostly Cloud advantage or even. Anyways.

[@phy_]

@@KrazyKaiju714 His disjoint is really the only thing that gives him an edge but even then Bowser & DK have a lot of things that can compete with or even just beat out his range so he definitely loses to them IMO! I can see him beating the other heavies though because of his speed (Ganon & Incin) and pretty good ability to get through projectiles (DDD & Krool)

[@KrazyKaiju714]

@@phy_ Definitely agree with most. Not sure about DDD because of that hammer, especially fair and uair. I guess it's mostly in Cloud's favor when he's underneath. I also mostly play online so don't know the offline matchup. But I think WiFi buffs tend to favor DDD in most aerial trades otherwise, where the two characters probably spend most of their time.

[@phy_]

Matthew Mitsui yeah DDD can definitely be tricky and dangerous to fight against on WiFi

[@JoseELeon]

why is someone disliking the vid immediately?

[@goodusermaadinternet6774]

Ikr whoever did that definitely had notifications on and came just to dislike it not even 2 minutes after it was posted. What a hater

[@JoseELeon]

@@goodusermaadinternet6774 it is kinda sad tbh

[@phy_]

Yeah lmao we got a sub with notifications on to instant dislike every video 😂 prob one of the elite smash randoms we’ve clowned on here 😂

[@JoseELeon]

@@phy_ imagine geting so clowned on you need to dislike every video, i bet he feels so smug doing it, so sad

[@aa-tx7th]

cause the vids doga$$ home boy lecturing us about spacing and he pulls this wild sh!t 1:45

[@Oreca2005]

Also trying to stay awake and having the brain power to constantly play this game is a hard thing Always eat healthy

[@joshrauch9744]

If a person such as this creator was trying to drum up business as an Ultimate coach, videos like these help showcase skills and services to potential clients. But it means nothing if the channel only posts these videos. Views are made through other (more entertaining, imo) topics

[@phy_]

My channel's a mix of both informative and entertainment content. Reception was really good on the last analysis video so figured I'd throw up another

[@joshrauch9744]

@@phy_ best of luck!

[@phy_]

Josh Rauch thanks!

[@angelirizarry2666]

Not a horrible b3 but still pretty cringe lol

[@aa-tx7th]

1:46 mr. spacing expert here 🙄🙄🙄

[@aa-tx7th]

2:05 lol you couldbt recover from that wtaf?
