The Mind of Nairo & Light: Aggressive Neutral

[@TheCodingGamer]

I've probably seen over a hundred good Smash tech and analysis vids, but this is the first one to literally put in actual examples from pro matches and that makes a world of difference. Good job. Subbed.

[@Poppt1]

Thank you that means so much! Real examples always help me when learning about anything so I try and keep things as visual and simple as possible :)

[@megamatt1915]

TheCodingGamer For real. I feel like most Smash analysis vids try to cover up what's actually going on, and this channel really sheds light on what to truly pay attention to.

[@Poppt1]

@@megamatt1915 I've defs noticed there actually isn't too much out there on how to just play the game, in comparison to tech stuff etc. Thank you so much I'll keepem coming :)

[@JohnSmith-mh2zn]

I also subbed cause of this video, good work my dude

[@Eltrotraw]

Agreed. A lot of videos from top players either include just a talking head and/or general game play (sometimes with just CPUs). The effort made to include examples and clips relevant to the topic shows a level of dedication that has to be appreciated.

Thank you for the time put into this video. As a new Smash Ultimate Player this has helped me understand the more in depth part of playing aggressively. Understanding it isn't just throwing out attacks hoping to hit your opponent. Subscribed!

[@Poppt1]

Thank you I reckon smash is kinda like any sport where it's basic enough for kids to play, but can just keep getting deeper and has such a high skill cap

"Use grabs against opponents who are waiting in shield for you to do something unsafe" Or, you know, play ice climbers, and pull the ultimate UNO Reverse Card and punish them for grabbing you

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I've watched countless, I mean countless, videos on how to play the game. I've still always been terrible at it, somehow stuck in 300k gsp hell while having 150 hours on the game. Yet someone sent me the link to this video, and changed all of that. This one video made it finally click in my head. That example with the hands... amazing. Thank you.

[@jonathanso3358]

I've been watching tons of smash vids to learn over the course of many smash games, and your videos are hands-down the best smash educational videos I've ever seen. Keep doing what you're doing!

Thank you so much! I defs feel like there's a lack of high level tutorial videos so hopefully I can fill the gap :)

Super underrated, keep it up man really loving these vids

[@NachoRuns]

This channel is one of the best regarding Smash tech and analysis, you break down every interaction so well that even experienced players can get a lot of information out of your videos. Keep it up man!

[@Swashbucklebuckle]

Again a very very valuable video! It really did a good job at breaking down aggressive play. I especially loved the simple hand clapping example, very descriptive! Explaining something that simply is the best way of teaching. There were several aspects mentioned on which I still need to work, so I will most likely come back to this video many times. Will share this around! Thanks a lot!

[@Poppt1]

Thank you so much, I defs try to make things as simple as possible otherwise it's pointless haha

[@thyeser]

Your work is phenomenal. I admire it.

[@analyticfruit437]

Your videos are by far the most useful for an intermediate player willing to improve. I've desesperately searched for videos like yours. Thank you so much for your work. You're clear, you repeat things without being redundant, you analyse pro players matches... Really, I'm just desappointed that there's not a disadvantage video yet. I'm waiting for it impatiently. Subscribed. I wanted to know if you're interested with translations. I could translate your video in French (which I am), and share it to my community and spread it as hard as I can.

[@ronanmurray503]

This channel deserves way more views

[@user-jq1mt6yx1j]

Great summary on neutral.. certainly the best video I've seen to explain it. It's crazy how much depth this game has if you really want to "be better" than the next guy. Neutral is just one small and crucial step it seems.

[@haloes92]

Even now, when this game has changed so much, I think we can all agree this can definitely be looked at through the development of this game in years to come. Seriously, being stuck at one spot in this game is such a downer. I quit for awhile because of it. Thank you for making this video!! I hope you continue to do more even after covid.

[@Letsgochamp-kh4wm]

I don’t understand, when you are crossing up shield with a landing aerial instead of rising. Are you supposed to aerial drift AND THEN attack, or other way around please help a fellow smasher out!

[@bigliquidd]

Depends on the move you're using, you should test out the moves you want to cross up in training mode

[@TriopsTrilobite]

CoolStory Brah typically if the move has a long lasting hitbox, like Wario's Nair, you can throw the move out and then drift for the cross-up. This isn't the end-all-be-all tho, you have to mix up your timings, otherwise your opponent will catch on and power shield.

[@Letsgochamp-kh4wm]

Isaac Landeros ok thanks

[@lmao2302]

Depends on how long the move last and when you threw it out. If it last a long time drift after you threw out the move. If you're close to the ground drift first then throw out the move.

[@mattawho]

Recently came across a writeup for Hearthstone that talks about how the role you play in a game (aggressive or defensive pretty much) often depends on the matchup and I couldn't help but try to think about it in smash bros terms so I thought about this video. Wondering if it's necessary to be able to play certain characters aggressively and defensively or if it's just common knowledge that you sometimes have to play aggressive/defensive based on your opponents character/current state of the game. Don't really know where I'm going with this but I guess I wanted to know what an actually good player thinks. Here is the link to the Hearthstone writeup if you're interested and can understand it. www.reddit.com/r/CompetitiveHS/comments/899tpl/whos_the_beatdown_understanding_and_evaluating/?ref=share&ref_source=link

[@Poppt1]

I think usually it's best to be aggressive when your character will get more from advantage state than your opponent, like being aggressive vs sheik as mario is really good. I hope that helps a bit? :)

You say over shooting is the trick, but how do we deal with the opponent spacing safely with aerials?

Usually the trick with overshooting is you hit them BEFORE they have time to attack themselves. Or you can simply keep taking the stage if their retreating and eventually they won't be able to retreat anymore and you can hit them as they try to escape the corner :)
