    • @titosimoes9782
      @titosimoes9782 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you missed a key component here. I think asking others for their opinions on your game is crucial. We often get stuck in a pattern that we can't see ourselves. And a different perspective or opinion can be super helpful. Even if the opinion is wrong, it can get you thinking in different ways. You gotta find the value in every set you play.
      Great job on the video tho. This stuff is kinda common sense if you sit down and think about it. But its helpful to have a model that frames everything for you. Mental game is huge in smash or in any sport; and i find this one of the hardest things to get over. I usually to relax and tell myself "this guy is a scrub; i got this; this is the best game of my life" (in my head obviously lol)

    This is so true. Everytime "grinding" is recommended whenever you have a problem. Often times you'll feel that wall of being technically great but still lose and not know why so you go back to practicing stuff you've long since mastered.

    I have been, for one year, researching about the term of "learning", and true learning. I have never been taught by this way, and I have discovered this path through myself and other references. Studying what you have done wrong, watching other people who is better than me, making notes, real and true thinking about what can I do in order to improve... All these things were pointed out in the video, I really appreciate that you show this valuable knowledge to a lot of people, you are a beast Armada. GOAT

    Very good video. As always, Armada is one of the most methodical and intelligent smash players. Not just because hes smart, but because he is very introspective and willing to critique himself without also tearing himself down. Its evident every video he posts that he is extremely aware of his limits and strengths as a player and a human, and he isnt worried about hiding those things to make himself look better, instead he actually strives to be better. I am very impressed by him, and am always inspired to work harder and smarter by his words. Thank you Armada! 💪💪

    Learning to breathe is also something very important. I personally have trouble with nerves and anxiety during tourney matches. I panic and start to autopilot, but recognizing those behaviors brings about the need to breathe. Stop and breathe. It's ok. It's not over yet.
    The other trap that I've seen myself and others get into is believing one tourney is the end-all-be-all for us, and it can be suffocating. But there are clearly more tourneys ahead, and the practice is rich. So why are we are own worst enemy when it comes to That?
    I think it's just human nature, then, to be so uptight about immediate results without realizing the journey is much longer than quick satisfaction. Complacency can be a struggle to get over.

    @agrume_music 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm not a smash player but a splatoon player, and yeah that video showed me I'm on the right path to learn and improve.
    I used to play by instinct, and somehow it worked, until I fought opponents who were theorycrafting the game and learning how to learn. At this time, I had the feeling they always were in my head and find the right way to counter me everytime I faced them. So I got stuck a long time in higher ranks.
    Then I told myself : "Ok, so I need something right now, and I think counting only on practice and experience is more like trying to find a code by typing every possible combination by hand". So What I did was to remake my whole learning process by consolidating my basics, capturing my games for looking back at them at the end of the day or the day after.
    I always thought my gameplay was good in that time, but when I saw myself playing I understood I made mistakes and I was not on point. TBH, that hurts a lot when you realize that you suck. But when I accepted it, everything was changing for the best. With all the games I captured, I extracted what I had to work on.
    To have an example of the good practices, I looked at the best players gameplay and tournaments. I slowed down the videos and analyze how they setup a good position for themselves, what they usually think about towards hards situations.
    Then after those analyzing sessions, I tried to apply what I learnt in matches. In the first time, it's hard, because your brain is unlearning habits and learning new, so you mess up what you wanna do, and you think at this moment that you suck even more. But Weeks later, when the new good habits are learnt, you can see the improvements, and you have to restart the process, until you're good.
    Thanks for the video Armada

    It's easy to skip reflecting, and fool yourself into thinking you did. An example is if you walk into your opponent's charged fsmash and you know instantly not to do it again, but you ignore everything else you did wrong. There will always be a couple crucial dumb mistakes in most games, and those are actually the easiest to fix. You will always notice walking into fsmash, and know how to avoid it. Fixing the subtle bad habits is much harder
