the black screens after each clip were very unpleasant to watch

For whatever reason, I get in the zone when I play as Marth and Kirby. I still don't understand Marth or know how to do a Ken combo. But when I'm in the zone, that doesn't seem to matter.

damn so did I lose hella time taking a scalpel and stuff to my uncle punch save states. bruh it makes so much sense. I come from trad fighters so there are cut and dry answers to options. Its good to know its literally decision making skill issue. ill report back in a year

Great vid! One thing i would add is that Falco's (and many other characters') frame 2 and 3 wavedash are better if you use a shorthop to do your wavedash because falco rises much faster from fullhop

why are u so annoying to listen to please install a better voice or something

this is actually genius advice, thanks also yea karl jobst has always been the goat

I wonder if Kodorin is an example of this or an exception.

Chess shows this example perfectly. because In chess, you have time, run out of it and you lose. Sometimes, it's better to choose the least worse option and economize time rather than losing a lot of it and possibly losing the entire game.

sick video

This is the gospel of truth

fantastic video <3

Has anyone figured out how to extend grab range? And extend the hook shot range for link or samus?

Can you tell me what X,Y, and Z is? Which direction of offset is an attack in front of you?

I'm confused; make decisions quickly but make decisions as late as possible?

I just found out the true original of this song... and now I feel like my life has been a lie. 😭 I thought Ludwig was the OG! 🙀

Ysa man i totally want to get into animation swapping do . hope u can get a detailed vid up

Mango is a great example of the "speed" "in the zone" style of play. He doesn't play optimally in a lot of spots, and his combo game with fox is way behind the optimized chains that people like Cody and Leffen do. Mango just forces his will on people, and makes them play his game, which is running at you with overwhelming speed and power. His decision making is usually on point, and his execution is top notch. Even without optimized combo chains or perfect spacing, mango can delete stocks just by making a few right choices at warp speed.

I miss my wife

How do you change Link's boomerang damage? I can't find it

Lol no way am I listening to some gold 1 falcon player

I hit my first double shine with falco today, and in order to do it i felt my eyes glaze over and I dropped 30 iq points

What usually get me playing well is just to start playing as fast as I can

To be fair MorseCode762 might be the one.

Meaningless.

Bro is teaching me how to hit consecutive black flashes 😂😂

More Melee educational content please 🙏

Me as a puff player taking notes Be fast lol

I play like this all the time, but when I clicked I expected this video to be about the actual "zone". Personally, I can tell the difference between this and what I experience when I'm entering the zone, in which my body decides to completely take over and my brain decides to make me feel like a god among men. What you are describing seems to be more like a weaker version of applied option knowledge and intuition. It's really hard to describe the difference for me, because I assumed it'd be the same for others ^^'

how is it I can shine oos before i could wavedash?! My fingers just werent made for it, i guess.

Insane that Lud doesn’t link or even mention this vid at all

Which input overlay is this? ... Doesn't look like M'overlay.

Do not worry guys just use a older version for your isolation to work.

does it work with ciso

This makes sense, but what I don't understand is, "How does one make faster decisions?"

Honestly thought I was listening to ginger at first haha

so the solution is just to wait until the last possible moment?

Not gonna lie Traplord your advice is where I've found more success. I play link and Link has so many options that it is super overwhelming. So for awhile I tried coming up with optimal game plans and setups only to find that it doesn't really work at the high level. It's one's focus and decision making speed that I think is key to thriving at melee. A lot like what you said in this vid. Thank you for reaffirming for me that I'm on the right path to improvement

"[A] ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot - albeit a perfect one - to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work - and learning from their mistakes - the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay."

Ive always relied heavily on setplay to cover options and make decisions. If you prioritize stage control and get good at setting up favorable/familiar situations/interactions, you can have answers for every decision tree in that situation. Some of the examples you made of making faster decisions like doing an unsafe multishine isnt necessarily making a real decision, its having a good/consistent option to throw out when you dont have a more decisive option. Theres nothing wrong with having those as tools, but they dont add up to a competent playstyle. They're more for filling the holes you have in your game. More patient players can, and will pick you apart if your entire game is made up of quick actions and speedy button presses. Although I disagree with you, Im glad content like this is being produced and getting people to think deeper about the game and discuss more

this guy sounds like ginger wtf
