“Let’s say you’re on elite smash, and you care about your gap, and you’re like ‘aww my gsp is getting lower’, no one gives a shit”. Dabuz ur too good sometimes man
Excellent video Dabuz. I'd like to share a few thoughts that kind of connect the dots between four of the points you mentioned: consistent schedule, online/offline, talk with people, and consistent group. Basically, I think online is an extremely valuable tool for improvement given the convenience and potential character variety. On the flipside, however, it really fosters toxic attitudes and thinking - why does x character have this bullshit move, why does everyone rely on this cheap tactic, why is my character so overrated by the community, etc. I think one of the best and most important aspects of playing in person, especially with people you know, is not to avoid that extra 4+ frames of input lag, but instead it is simply to see that the people you are playing are human beings who have their own feelings, emotions, and struggles. It humanizes the experience and serves as the antidote to toxic thinking. I think people should play online as much as their schedules allow but without ruining or upsetting their mental state (it happens to all of us), and then keep in mind that there is a human social aspect to playing as well. The best way to do this, in my opinion, is to get out there and play people - even if you go 0-2 every week. This is tangential, but I think the success of the Smashmate ladder in Japan contradicts the commonly-accepted knowledge that online play is worthless, should be avoided, encourages bad habits, etc. I'd like to see similar tools be introduced in the States that help people find good competition with greater convenience.
You right, i gotta stop only saving the vods where i body people and start watching my losing vods too. I think another thing you could mention is not tilting during your losses. A little tilt is fine and can actually be motivating, but When you’re too tilted, it doesn’t really matter if youre winning or losing bc you usually arent able to focus on doing the right things. Idk you may have mentioned it and i missed it. Anyway, great video ly man
To expand on “care about improving, not winning” If you play someone and regardless if you win or lose, are you able to improve going into game 2. Ie I play someone game one and I play against mew2 and keep shielding his shadow ball while close and get grabbed a ton. If it’s tournament/online/offline/etc, are you able to limit the amount of times you get grabbed or even punish him/her doing the same thing over and over. You also talked about recovering low with olimar (and I think something about shielding?) to make sure you can focus on doing that more and I guess know how to do that come tournament time. I’m not sure if everyone can do that without building bad habits. Obviously it’s different for everyone.
Heck yeah bud. I need to practice hard. I want to get good at the game. I haven't really got to play the game in general. Played like 5 times in general. Also not like practice type of way. Except Duck Hunt. But everything else was to unlock characters.
Might be late to the party but I really liked your vid and how consistency is important! I was wondering if you could give a general outlook on who will be top tier throughout the upcoming months (even years)! Want to commit to a main that I believe will give me the results as long as I play well with them and train consistently
I would like to see a video on how to adapt to things. Changes like buffs and nerfs. Say, for example, if a Simon/Richter main got their down air or up b severely nerfed in a future patch. What advice would you give them on adapting to such drastic changes? Will you please do a video about adapting, Dabuz?
what if u find a training partner who's even with you or slightly better but eventually down the track u become a lot better than them. Should u still train with them?
Sometimes taking a break can actually help you improve quite a bit. I’m often told I’ve come back a little more creative after a break which makes it hard for friends to adapt. Take a break when your frustrations start to build
Then make some. You don't have to become besties or anything, but find people who play smash and then become friends with them, or just practice partners
Hi, Dabuz Sensei. what principles or strategies do you need to know to beat Sword characters with a short range one? Related to the question, What's the mindset you need to win a bad matchup, knowing that they will control the air with their disjoint hits sword ones, but also heavy campers that will control space, Sometimes I get anxious? Thanks in advance. :)
Taking care of your physical (and mental) well-being in general should be 1st priority anyways. But listing even just the most important aspects of it would be impossible within a single video...
Mura Niko There are online tournaments that can still really help you, even though IRL tournaments are ideal. If you really have zero tourneys in your area, it’s the best option
This is exactly what I needed, ty almighty lip God
Lippo mode

I really appreciated this video, it made me feel like I was going further with my constant practice instead of just sucking
Please give us more content like this
This was really good advice thanks
Lol i love you dabuz you little goober
I've been taking Ls to friends who are in elite smash and it had me down. Thanks for the helpful guide, it's really encouraging.

I like the mic :)
Izaw has a fantastic beginner guide on training. Check that out as well.
Ty Mr. Buz
This is really helpful! Thank you!
what if u find a training partner who's even with you or slightly better but eventually down the track u become a lot better than them. Should u still train with them?
What if you're losing and getting worse?

great video!
I was wondering how you can do fair without moving forward becasue it is hard to do when i use y to jump and c stick to fair.
You could map jump to another button. I use z jump.
Nice job
when you say you forced yourself to play without shield, do you mean you unbind the input?
I see, thank you :)
I fuckin came dude
Idk if you still read the comments here, but about the last part I dont have any friends who play smash soooo...
Then make some. You don't have to become besties or anything, but find people who play smash and then become friends with them, or just practice partners

@@DabuzSSB I was expecting more details, however, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!
i love your lips (no homo)
You forgot about staying hydrated constantly during playtime
