Tbh only happens if I don't know anti airs and meaties after combos for me. Once you know how to safely jail and punish them its not hard to deal with crazy or scrub styles of play. Just infuriating when you are losing soley because of the lack of that when trying to see if a new character might be worth investing into.

[@indradracolich]

@@tbc1880 I play SF and MK I know how it feels and I hate it lol

[@konkurer775]

I played someone in MK. Me and them both agreed I was better than them, I destroyed them most matches but sometimes they'd just spam and I'd either learn how to counter it or die trying 😂 it's kinda fun to learn atleast though. Like MK10 I believe scorpion has a teleport behind you attack and I'd eventually get the timing down after he spammed it the second match.

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

​@@konkurer775I've definitely beaten people with their mains despite them having more practice with the character, merely because I know the game better and have seen every kind of cheese imaginable. Winning off of weird game mechanics and stage-specific jank as well as getting out of combos easier just starts to snowball.

Hey HopCat, do you edit your own videos or do you have an editor? I really like the editing style, it’s professional editing quality without falling into the trap of throwing far too much at the viewer and overwhelming them. I’d love to ask whoever edited this video how they avoided that trap!

[@HopCatSmash]

I edited this one but I usually get one of my editors to do it! I just had time to do this one.

[@HopCatSmash]

I tried to do this one in a more chill enjoyable style for people who like smash rather than make it appeal to general audience by being overly punchy. This style was more inspired by someone like twd98. I guess to pull this off I just had to have faith that my viewers are happy to just see me play. Thanks!

[@ravssb]

Troy is a great youtuber to be inspired by. good choice@@HopCatSmash

[@ODISeth]

@@HopCatSmash Well hell yeah you did a great job with it! I know as an editor myself the more tricks I learn in editing the more I want to show all of them in every video, so it’s nice to see videos like this that know how temper that. Either way, props!

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

I have 100,000 matches played and 8,000 hours of Smash Ultimate. I have the entire cast in Elite Smash, have 100% the game, and sometimes just use the music feature which may have inflated the hours a bit. It is pretty much the only reason I have Nintendo Online. It is the most cost-effective video game. Buying the game and all DLC cost $163, so it costs $0.020375 per hour or $0.489 per day to play. Truly a great value. A nickel a day to play this game? Incredible.

There's a lot of people with high hour counts who purposefully play bad online for fun, I guess. I've encountered a few before. Also of course sometimes accounts are shared and the person that you're playing against might not be the person that got the game's playtime up to 7000 hours.

[@AWanderingSwordsman]

After seeing people in bronze (now iron) in league with over 10,000 games played (so at least 5k hours) I've learned hours spent does not equal results. Anecdotally I've put like 10k hours into the monster hunter series but I'm not significantly better now than I was 15 years ago. The games don't get harder so you hit a ceiling of how far playing the game normally will get you and I don't have interest in speedrunning or naked runs so thats really all there is to it. I've also noticed in league that a lot of people that get really good do it pretty quickly. It's not always right at the start but something just clicks and they suddenly shoot up from silver to master in the course of like a year and maybe 500 games (approx 250 hours). It's wild how much difference simply being mindful of whats happening and critically thinking about things that happen in a match makes.

[@Mud-Brain]

that jigglypuff with the rollout is me with the thermal thruster in tf2

[@Cr1ticA]

5:11 So I looked up how many days is 7,000 hours, and um... it's 291.667 days. Now, that might not seem like a lot in gamer terms, but think about this; that's almost an entire YEAR of playing! So that means this person has either played *a lot* throughout the (almost) 5 years that this game has been out, OR, this person bought the game on the first of one year and has not stopped playing one bit, but leaving the Switch on with Smash running when they go to sleep or go somewhere else.

My math might be off but if the Jigglypuff has been playing since the release date of Ultimate until this video's release date, then they've been playing for 4 hours every day for the last 1776 days on average.

It's all about how u use those hours. If u just mash and don't VOD review or learn well ur just havn fun prolly

[@JacobPDeIiNoNi]

Exactly, like also a person who has 2000 hours but 1000 of those are in world of light, free for alls, etc, and doesn’t focus on one main or playstyle, will likely be worse than somebody who only has 500 hours but spent them learning fundamentals with their main and practicing a few combos in training mode.
