You are the first youtuber I have ever heard say getting elite smash is hard. I'm not saying that in a demeaning way! I mean it's kinda refreshing, because a lot of people like to pretend the game isn't hard for the sake of making themselves sound cool.
It's all a matter of perspective! If someone has been going to tournaments since 2005 they'll find it much less demanding than someone who's brand new to Ultimate. I wanted people to appreciate that it IS hard, even if you can do it quickly thanks to previous experience.
@@Glyphmoney Yeah! A lot of people forget that not everyone is part of the 10% (or whatever it is) of smash players who actually go to tourneys/have played for years and are exceptional at it. Another great reason not to get too full of yourself for your current skill level because there will always be someone better than you. Much more preferable to be new player friendly and try to help others learn.
Honestly it comes down to picking a character that works for you. I put so much time into Cloud and got nowhere with him. Switched to Sephiroth and now not only do I have 10mil Gsp but I gotta other characters into elite. Learning Sephiroth actually improved my game all around.
It's not that the game isn't hard to master (It is) but that getting into Elite Smash means nothing due to how bad the online is and the Quickplay/Elite system is Online is terrible even at its best condition (Since it is very laggy many moves become harder to counterplay and is harder to be precise), and Elite Smash is a worthless achievement due to the sheer uncompetitiveness of how its built. Most player will fight you once and leave to protect their GSP (Which promotes gimmicky gameplay even more than the online already does, instead of learning your opponent), plus every ruleset can be used to improve GSP, even the ones with items: In fact the optimal strategy to bring the characters you want into Elite Smash is to use items/final smashes, a 1 stock ruleset and be prepared for it since your opponent likely won't. Personally I'm not that good of a player, yet I brought the entire roaster in Elite smash with ease by abusing this, that's how worthless of an achievement it is. In general, if your goal is to get better at the game and learn it, don't even bother with Elite Smash. Join a Discord server, go into a random arena, play with your friends and share with them the same goal, go to your nearest local scene if possible etc. If your goal was to go in Elite and you did it I'm happy for you, but it doesn't make you better sadly.
@@jherinstamps6874 Once you learn the game well enough you can play a character at elite smash level after just a bit of practice with them. Not auto piloting and thinking about what just that character wants to do to win helps a lot.
Once you get a good grasp of how to play safe with each character and picking up on your opponents habits and punishing them accordingly you should be at Elite Smash level soon enough (I also have every character in Elite , just saying that so you know I am not some bad player giving you unhelpful tips and not some cocky Smash player XD). Oh, and remember to take deep breaths to keep yourself calm and never give up in a match no matter how much you are down.
This video is genuinely one of the most refreshing, positive, and well edited videos I've seen come out of the smash community, as well as just being a really solid guide on how to get into and start playing the game. It makes me want to get back into playing this game seriously after dropping it for a couple years.
I really appreciate the honesty, positivity, and encouragement in this video. I agree that looking at most aspects of the journey to Elite as a learning experience really eases the sting that frustrating sessions can leave. I think once I fixed that part of my mentality, I was able to grind up to ES a bit easier or gain my focus back when I was feeling salty or tilted for a moment. Outside of lag, little actually frustrates me anymore during sessions, but I do tend to beat myself up a bit if I'm playing like trash. Overall great job in providing visual examples on the topics you were going through and great advice in general.
This video was SO GOOD. I showed it to my cousin who I'm trying to teach to get better. We play competitively and he's learned so much from your videos, thanks!!
This is the most uplifting video I've ever seen. Thank you so much. I'll use this right away -- I already have my main Incineroar in, as well as one of my secondaries, Ridley. I hope to learn Pyra and Mythra as well and get them into Elite, using your tips as a starting point!
here is a tip: save replays of matches you watch(particuarly the ones you lost badly), it will help you spot bad habits more easily, and also if you hate a character, play that character for a day or so, it will help you understand that characters playstyle and how it could be countered
This is by far the BEST video I've seen discussing Smash fundamentals. Everyone keeps telling me "just learn the fundamentals" and there aren't any resources for me and here I find this video. Great work!
Halfway through the video and this is already hands-down one of the best informative Smash videos on the internet. Excellent editing as well, can't believe this doesn't have 10x the amount of views! I've been playing Smash semi-seriously for years now, actually trying to pick it up for real recently with a fresh perspective, and this video is full of them. Thanks for this masterpiece!
i thank you for saying that getting into elite smash is hard. i have been playing smash since i could pick up a controller in melee and i get so annoyed that i can’t even get near the threshold of elite smash with my mains. These smash youtubers do it like it is there wednesday afternoon, it’s a bit baffling. amazing video btw
Dang... this deserves more views. This is a REALLY good guide, especially for beginners!!! It helped me out a bit as well, and I have like 10 characters in Elite Smash. Thanks!!!
Very good guide for helping newer players get into Elite Smash. This is now my go-to guide I'll show someone that wants to get better at smash. Izaw's guides were my previous go-to, but they are more suited for people who already are pretty good at the game because some of the stuff he goes over can be very intimidating. On a side note for mentality, might sound obvious for some people but make sure you're healthy and what-not. Saying this because most other games I've mastered in the past, I could get away with being tired all the time. Smash forced me to step my game up, and couldn't get into Elite Smash until I made myself healthy in every way. Exercising, Sleeping, Dieting, all things that help keep me more calm, yet have more energy, and the game feels easier because it feels like it's in slow motion by comparison to if you didn't treat your body right. Also if you don't sleep, you're going to have a hard time remembering things, so you're wasting a lot of time training because you're brain isn't able to concentrate. Also, join some community where you can practice together in smash and share tips. You'll have someone to punish your bad habits so you improve faster, and you get to have fun with friends at the same time. With all that said, good luck getting into Elite Smash!
I agree with this video my skill from smash 4 helped me get smash to elite smash asap but picking up a new character you never thought of playing felt like being new to the game all over again
I just lost about 3mil GSP on my main (Ken) to losing to the same Ridley a bunch of times. He was so predictable and I kept doing so good against him, but I kept SDing. Edit: I took a shower and thought about the battles to see how I can improve. In hindsight, I didn’t do a good job utilizing DI, for example, when he had my in a flurry, I subconsciously DI-ed towards him instead of away from him. I also didn’t plan ahead for a diverse cast of kill options/stock enders. I’m sure this video will come in handy many more times in the future as I practice Smash Ult and use these techniques to improve myself as a Ken main and a Smash player.
@@Glyphmoney You should give the series a try when you get the chance! Tekken 7 is a great place to start and there are plenty of helpful guides online since the game is in its later years. I'd love to see some Tekken content from you!
i learned the best way to win is to lose on purpose until the game starts giving you sympathy and matching you against some of the absolute worst players ever imaginable.
Thank you recommended, this looks high quality so far, time to subscribe, oh and I’ve already got a bunch of characters into elite smash lol, this is still a good guide though.
10:58 this part isn’t true; holding up and down doesn’t actually affect your trajectory but instead changes your velocity. Holding up increases your speed while holding down decreases it, so you should never hold up for survival DI. You’ll always want to hold in with varying degrees of down to find that balance to aim at the corner, which is much less intuitive and will take a while to get used to.
You're mistaken, holding up or down does indeed have an impact on your trajectory as well! Try it in training mode, it's an easy thing to see how different it is :]
@@Glyphmoney well you’re right and wrong here. I never realized holding up/ down affects DI in a direct way, but that’s because I always accounted it as LSI (Launch speed influence) which is the mechanic I didn’t properly name before. You should still never hold up though for survival DI for any blastzone; it isn’t worth it over just straight inward DI or down + in DI since the angle change will always come with extra distance using upwards DI.
Yes I am a fellow steve main as well. I have a few characters in elite smash but steve is the only character I'll keep playing as without worrying about loosing it.
I really love this video it’s hella helpful and THE EDITING GOD underrated channel, one thing I hate is the tilte bc people will think this is associated with elite but this is really helpful for every player bc is mostly the best mentality guide and guides over all bc he explains well the errors the player is doing and how he can learn, best channel.
nice video! you are making me think about smash differently. if i had a suggestion it would be awesome if you could make a video based around the ledge if you haven’t already. i’m really bad at ledge trapping and i feel like i only do it in a set pattern without any way of handling an option that isn’t too common
The content in this video definitely wasn’t for me, but I really appreciate the information that this video has for new players, and I really liked the style that the custom transitions had
This a pretty good video but I has one flaw. Climbing and winning is all fun and good but nothing beats a lil bit of styling. Best feeling in the game imo. Luckily with enough practice you can have both
I know it will sound cheese but that is how it happened to me: I accidentally got King K.Rool into Elite Smash once by simply stop caring about competition. Of course, the more stable internet (cable preferably) the better but more for the whole experience, winning or loosing, to be enjoyable. I love finding opponets who are respectful and knows that you lost a stock by accident and they just take one of them to level out, something I do so myself, not for pity, but because respecting the players is the true beauty behind it. When I lose to these people, I feel happy because it was a genuine combat and knowing this person got their victory and are happy about it is also satisfying. Whenever I find someone who is clearly under level (probably got the game recently and all) I rarely rematch them because I don't want anyone to feel low. It is sad how much toxicity there is, in the gaming community, towards other people. I never liked this. The foundation of Smash Bros., of Nintendo games, is to *HAVE FUN*. So just enjoy for what it is. If not, just play with some buds local or in Battle Arenas, without giving a damn about GSP
Holding up and in when launched horizontally will kill you sooner than just holding in. Holding up increases your knockback, it doesn't change your angle.
Geting into elite smash you end up geting into losing streaks, this happened to my rob so hard that I just stoped having fun with that character but after taking a break and playing with bowzer and wii fit trainer I know am having fun with rob again.
I feel this cause like I have 2,000 hours on just the CPUs and I just bought online yesterday because I was bored of constantly 3 stocking the level 9 kazuya CPU and I found out that it's much more difficult than I had anticipated. Like I've got the combos and that's it. I can't edge-guard, I can't ledge-trap I can't do neutral, I can't do advantage, I can't do disadvantage, I can't do proper reads because I either miss space them or I just can't seem to stop myself from picking the wrong option even though I know what they're most likely to do. Just a few minutes ago I was fighting this really bad little mac player and I was positive I should've won but I never did because I just couldn't do it. Idk maybe I'm just not cut out for smash cause like I can't actively think while playing either AND I HAVE 2,000 HOURS.
You have 2000 hours against a completely different style of opponent, don't expect that to carry over 1 to 1!! Humans are adaptable, while cpus are rigid. The ways you beat a cpu can work every time, while humans tend to change once something works once. But here's the good news, you're a human too :] you have that exact same potential to adapt in you, you just haven't needed to tap into it for a long time. Keep practicing, don't burn yourself out, and try to learn from your losses. You will be 3 stocking real people before you know it!!
It took me 3 months as a Kirby main to reach elite. I also got fired from my job and did literally nothing but that and smoked a lot. For a regular person who doesn’t have 24/7 time to play it may take a year to do so.
Honestly I feel like people who happen to not do that good at the game are underestimating neutral game WAY too much, like I know it's my special case but I've been told that I could main random if I wanted to since I do well with more than 70% of the cast but that's only because I've also been told I have great neutral. Like really all of your interactions bloom from how your neutral is played, always play in order to upgrade your neutral game and always strive to learn how to act and adapt to every possible moment
I was pretty sure they changed up and down DI so it doesn't influence anymore how far you travel horizontally. So you don't need to actually DI up and in to survive, only in. Going up can still help you with recovering afterward, but it won't save you from the blast zone.
You know what’s weird before I met this channel I played k rool and was gettin into rob and was researching on him and found you before rob I played DK and k rool
Wolf is my main and only one in elite smash and my secondary toon link’s gsp is pretty high as well currently at 11.9M. One I started doing reps consistently with wolf, learning his tendencies and how he moves on offense/defense, it was only up from there. Yes I still go through rough patches sometimes in fights but he fits my style of my preferred fighting and I’ve become more of a complete player with him mainly I feel like
When your good enough to get into elite smash by playing casual 3 stock games and then get pinned up against that one mario with the 1 stock 1:30 ruleset who spams the same combo over and over again or the ragequitting/lagswitching dlc character players:
"Getting your main into Elite is a badge of honor"
Little Z maining everyone apparently:
Little Z's best characters :)))))))))))))))
EVERYONE IS little z’s best character.
He’s trash and not funny
I cannot even fathom how time consuming gathering proper perspective footage for those edits was. Good shit!
What also helped me was to pick characters completely different from my main to learn new habits and apply those onto it.

@@ethanryan4188 oof yeah, I have about 14 characters in elite but I still suffer from the raging problem.

Isn’t luck the definition of hero?

A great guide for people trying to get into smash!
I think an important thing to remember is real elite player actually don’t use shields or dodge at all
Only the true Elite can handle such high level strats
What. This isn’t real is it?
Lol! This comment was from my sister who in fact does not shield or dodge at all, to.... mixed results
I teabag when I lose a stock, to tell the opponent good job
I really loved the guide, thanks a lot for this! The moment I heard Sly Cooper music is when I subscribed 💯
just watched the video and ones again these intros! god damn! the so amazing to watch! so clean and smooth. keep up the amazing edits

such a good tutorial on something I have already done
As a Mac main, I appreciate the mention of the tier list

How is this guy not at like 1 million yet. My boy is underrated
I'm the shounen antagonist. I get the early dunks and then slowly see my scrubby opponent get better and better until they 3-stock me every rematch
Im a bayonetta main and trust me, getting into elite smash is HARD
If you need to enter elite smash,ask your mum
One thing i hate about elite smash (and smash in general) is frames. Some attacks are prioritize over others and it's frustrating
I completely zoned out once I heard that sly cooper music
This video helped me now I am in elite
I got Sephiroth into Elite a few days after release and now I’m terrified to ever play him online in fear that I’ll get kicked out.
You did it once, you could do it again too!!
I got none of my mains in elite and that's 100% never going to happen to get any of my mains
wassup man here after playing and losing to your ROB pretty badly lol
Yo! Were you in that stream I did the MM?
@@Glyphmoney yes sir, love the content btw
Holding up and in when launched horizontally will kill you sooner than just holding in. Holding up increases your knockback, it doesn't change your angle.
He really turned getting Elite Smash into an Anime arc and I love it
Great video :)
Geting into elite smash you end up geting into losing streaks, this happened to my rob so hard that I just stoped having fun with that character but after taking a break and playing with bowzer and wii fit trainer I know am having fun with rob again.
It happens to me with bayo i constantly think on abandoning her 😓
My Marth fell down to 3 mil GPS and now he is on Elite Smash
I feel this cause like I have 2,000 hours on just the CPUs and I just bought online yesterday because I was bored of constantly 3 stocking the level 9 kazuya CPU and I found out that it's much more difficult than I had anticipated. Like I've got the combos and that's it. I can't edge-guard, I can't ledge-trap I can't do neutral, I can't do advantage, I can't do disadvantage, I can't do proper reads because I either miss space them or I just can't seem to stop myself from picking the wrong option even though I know what they're most likely to do. Just a few minutes ago I was fighting this really bad little mac player and I was positive I should've won but I never did because I just couldn't do it. Idk maybe I'm just not cut out for smash cause like I can't actively think while playing either AND I HAVE 2,000 HOURS.
You have 2000 hours against a completely different style of opponent, don't expect that to carry over 1 to 1!! Humans are adaptable, while cpus are rigid. The ways you beat a cpu can work every time, while humans tend to change once something works once.
But here's the good news, you're a human too :] you have that exact same potential to adapt in you, you just haven't needed to tap into it for a long time. Keep practicing, don't burn yourself out, and try to learn from your losses. You will be 3 stocking real people before you know it!!
It took me 3 months as a Kirby main to reach elite. I also got fired from my job and did literally nothing but that and smoked a lot. For a regular person who doesn’t have 24/7 time to play it may take a year to do so.
Honestly I feel like people who happen to not do that good at the game are underestimating neutral game WAY too much, like I know it's my special case but I've been told that I could main random if I wanted to since I do well with more than 70% of the cast but that's only because I've also been told I have great neutral. Like really all of your interactions bloom from how your neutral is played, always play in order to upgrade your neutral game and always strive to learn how to act and adapt to every possible moment
2:08 cursed shield broken puff
Was wondering if anyone would catch that!
@@Glyphmoney lol yeah that was not correct
I’m missing 6 characters from elite smash and I can tell you sometimes it takes absolutely no skill to get in
I was pretty sure they changed up and down DI so it doesn't influence anymore how far you travel horizontally.
So you don't need to actually DI up and in to survive, only in.
Going up can still help you with recovering afterward, but it won't save you from the blast zone.
This video is so good how do you have this little amount of subscribers????? This is some good shit
Honestly, I partially blame the gsp system

"you cant cheese your way in"
_me who cheesed the pits in by using items and deflecting them a lot_
video so good that i wanna play the game more
There should be a Madness amash mode for crazy elite maniacs like Wizzy
You know what’s weird before I met this channel I played k rool and was gettin into rob and was researching on him and found you before rob I played DK and k rool
I’ve definitely cheesed my way in with Mii Brawler down tilt head on assault (but that was just one time)
Wolf is my main and only one in elite smash and my secondary toon link’s gsp is pretty high as well currently at 11.9M. One I started doing reps consistently with wolf, learning his tendencies and how he moves on offense/defense, it was only up from there. Yes I still go through rough patches sometimes in fights but he fits my style of my preferred fighting and I’ve become more of a complete player with him mainly I feel like
Vast majority of my fights are 1v1 with no items
If you play for fun you become immune to pressure
"This is the difference between Jesus." Really caught me off guard there lol
When your good enough to get into elite smash by playing casual 3 stock games and then get pinned up against that one mario with the 1 stock 1:30 ruleset who spams the same combo over and over again or the ragequitting/lagswitching dlc character players:
