The First Step To Improving Your Mentality In Smash

[@galedreft]

We need you back.

[@palpastrikead3037]

I had a really interesting experience recently. I’ve always been a sucker for bracket anxiety. But by going a new character that I’d never used before really helped me deal with that. I was able to win the first few sets after I was mentally destroyed by my round one and I was able to play the best I’ve ever played with both my main and day 1.

Imagine having enough tournaments in your country to be able to do that

I really wish this series had continued, it's so helpful.

[@chrisbeach423]

Its been 1 year and 7 months yet i still suck at neutral. Help!!!

[@adro696]

This is definitely my favorite channel on smash improvement. Hope you guys upload more helpful videos!

[@diitrii]

I think this is really important for not just competition, but ANYTHING you want to improve at. No one becomes a legend in a day!

[@grandphantoon1334]

So glad to see you guys are back!

[@kimberlystocking8058]

I'm glad you waited until finals were over!!!

[@Horfact]

Do you plan on continuing to make these? Theyre a great resource.

[@dainb5783]

No joke was just looking for mentality videos thank you

[@user-it6gl1vv7v]

hbox popoffs do be long enough to fill an entire segment of the video

[@darekichinose1034]

On the topic of mentality i think a video on the intricacies of camping would be very helpful and interesting for a wide range of players! Great stuff as always

[@maydray8168]

Sheeesh I got called out.

[@abe9210]

Welcome back!

[@wuanbai4577]

This channel is amazing! I hope you can come back soon. So happy I ran into you

[@lichenwtf]

Good video. I started playing smash recently and want to get better. I feel like my mentality is the #1 holding me back from improving at the game. Thanks for the video and I hope y'all upload more!

[@shrekstacy]

Just found your channel, getting back into Ult after a few years and your videos have just overall great advice. Can't wait to see more!

[@izanagiforsmite4365]

In all the online games I play, I think of my opponents and try to read and mix them up. But Smash? Completely turned off the brain, and I play other fighting games too, it seems that I just can't handle the amount of content in Smash. :< So I've been hoping to get better at the game. I'm glad your video came out just as I was looking for help.

[@Crustgg]

Welcome back ysan!

[@EditUnivers75]

Just found your channel. These videos are so nuanced, I would say this is the best channel I've found for this sort of thing. Love how you delve so deeply into the mental aspects of the game, arguably the most important aspect yet the least spoken about. Can't wait for more! Also quick question if you dont mind answering, how does one gain an upperhand using a character with poor frame data? (Without focusing on projectiles.)

[@wbergie7847]

Welcome back

[@ICYoyoLamar]

This might be the most underrated youtube channel for smash. I'ma feature some of your videos in my blog.

[@shafir5726]

I love that picture at 2:23

[@andrebaxter4023]

Great advice given here.

[@TayMAYDAY]

I hope you continue to make videos. It is good stuff.

[@isaiahthechristiangamer8716]

Amazing video!!!

[@Jack-em9in]

Love that y’all are back! Hope to see more soon

[@chrisbeach423]

As a Banjo main I definitely have to adapt to certain match up. Especially Isabelle and Villager because if they pocket my grenegg then they will hold it until i kill them. So I definitely have to only use it when im confident they wont pocket it.

[@jpVari]

a lot of these attitudes were very prevalent (at least talked about) in the first game I got into, starcraft. But I'm almost entirely focused on fighting games these days (many years later!), and I rarely see this sentiment. More people are happy to blame balance or anything else, lacking respect for the game, and I didn't put my finger on it until very recently. THis video spells out the proper perspective imo, and I want to spread it much more around this particular part of competitive esports. thanks for this!

[@ltus102]

YOOOO! YSAN POSTED

[@alexlugo7479]

But I still can't learn what mistake I do most times everything I do never work mix ups don't work so I cant hit my oponnents

[@JRTHP714]

What if your game controller broke

[@kakarotlovesgames6962]

This video is all facts but i aint gonna lie its hard on elite smash sometimes lol

[@KingsGoated]

I get destroyed all the time in Smash online. I don't make excuses, or complain, I don't even call my opponents something along the lines of a no life, or sweat. What goes through my mind when I get destroyed over and over again is "how do people get this good?" and "I'll never be able to improve". It's demotivating. Every time I get 3 stocked by really good players constantly, I just want to quit all together, and stick to fighting bots. It'll be easier that way, and I'd have fun playing the game. After all, video games are to have fun, right? But, that'd be a betrayal of my character. So, I'm just in this limbo of frustration and being stumped. Every video I watch on how to get better at this game is like way more tedious homework. Every word coming out of their mouth sounds like a bunch of gibberish. Nothing makes sense, and only makes me more demotivated to continue playing. Fighting good players constantly hasn't even worked to make me better

[@jonahabenhaim1223]

It’s better to play with others outside of online.

[@bluebomber875]

It’s better to take your improvement one step at a time then fight players who are clearly way above your skill level and watch videos that don’t make sense. Of course fighting players that are way better than you would just be demoralizing. It’s much more productive to fight players at your skill level and watch videos that teach you how to jump and master movements rather than what mentality to have at your level lol.

[@DICEBOY22]

It's kinda hard to respect my opponent when they're a dirty t-bagger on quick play.

[@JohnyMeBoi]

ignore it
