Its funny he talks about being the best out of your friend group and getting smashed at a local. My first tournament was in melee(wasnt exactly 'a local', but the place was like 5 minutes from my house), and it was a fairly large pot, I think first place was like 2,500. Well, I faced mewtwo king in the second round. I had never heard of him or anything, so I figured he was probably close to the average across the US, so I never went to another tournament again.
@@caw64 no. it was youmacon in detroit back in 2013. its an anime convention, and its become pretty huge, but it was pretty small back then. Im pretty sure the pot was so big because one of the weekend passes came with a bunch of stuff, including one tournament pass, and people probably just joined that because it was the most fun game there.
Buzzers also have a problem with long distance giving a huge advantage to one side. Probably better to just let them both take a guess and whoever is closer gets the point or you get however many points away you were and whoever has the lowest score wins.
Spanish is a really easy language. It has consistencies and some of the eloquence of Arabic but in letters that are similar to English. I like that with Spanish when there's a rule it's pretty much always consistent.
@@therealkenny6 verb tenses are something that is hard in almost any language though. As someone who speaks French and quite a bit of Spanish, I do agree that English is easier, but there are still some intricacies. Like when trying to find a correct past tense to use, it can be tricky to know when to use (with to make as the example): I made I was making I had made I had been making I have made I have been making The last two are present tenses, but for someone learning the language that could be very tricky
I’m the Bowser player in this video, and I would really like to fight against your lucina someday (altough it is impossible due to the distance), because there is always something to improve, isnt there?
Imagine poppt as a teacher in the class room jumping in his chair yelling: SURFSHARK VPN!!! or helping for a test saying: stay chill get the kill. It honestly wants to make me go back to school.
So I’m Dutch myself and what I’ve noticed is that around 4-6 mil gsp it’s weirdly hard sometimes to win and people feel better than the gsp says they are. Could just be on me but I find it harder to win on 4-6 mil gsp than 7-8
depends on the character im playing for me, i tend to fall back quickly when i played peach and had a lot of trouble with her, but then something like cloud was pretty easy to do all around
It’s probably because ppl like me who don’t have their lower gap characters in elite smash just grinding lmaoo cause my wolf is 10.4 mill gsp and I just be grinding with Isabelle or sum to get them into elite smash
The bright side about learning english though is that you can be really really incorrect and still be easily understood. Some other languages don't have that benefit. Like, broken english is probably understood better than any other broken language. That makes it easier to engage with stuff and practice. We also have spaces and only 26 letters so it's pretty easy to look up any english word compared to something like japanese with it's kanji.
Reading is like exercising. It's hard at first. You'll struggle to read many pages in one sitting but the more you practice, the easier it gets and the faster you'll get.
Yo you saw my replay! I think that I am pretty decent at the Falco combos, but I'm really bad at dealing with all the bullshit that goes on at the low gsp range.
Ik I’m late but I’m also a falco main and I can never get my up airs connecting to where it can lead up to a combo like how you were doing, any advice for getting combos would be cool😩
@@steff9357 In order to do the up air nair thing you have to do an instant double jump (also called active hop) which is where you press double jump immediately after leaving the ground with falco, this gives you a bit of extra height and that allows you to connect the nair. I would suggest watching some videos on it and it does take some practice
As someone that has learned a second language, it is more helpful than hurtful to be told that you're wrong. It takes much longer to learn the language if no one ever corrects you.
yes please continue this, GSP hardly makes any sense sometimes, I wonder how some of these people are in elite smash and my 7 mil kirby hasn't gotten to it yet.
8:24 Eyy man, Just wanted to say, I’m brazillian and I am pretty happy that someone is reading a book about something in my country I’m not so good at speaking english so if I type anything wrong I’m pretty sorry fun fact: In brazil we greet someone online saying “Save” so just wanted to say, a save from brazil to you, fellow poppt1 also wanted to say, English is not hard my guy, if you want proof I can give you

10:40 tbf English is a frankensteins monster-like mix of a bunch of languages it’s French and Anglo-Saxon mixed together… and both those languages are already mixes of two different languages…. that’s why there are like 10 different sets of “rules”
10:30. Ooh! I like overthinking things! So the question is "why do we say 'isn't there' rather than 'isn't it'?" TL;DR "There" is more appropriate to use when making statements or asking questions about something's existence while "it" is more appropriate for specific, pre-established nouns. This is based on tradition of the English language. The Full Breakdown: Here's the phrase again for reference: "...there is always room for improvement isn't it?" This phrase features 2 independent clauses: "there is always room for improvement" and "isn't it?" The word "it" is a pronoun that serves as a placeholder for some other noun that would be appropriate to put in its place. Generally, pronouns are useful for avoiding repetition. The noun that "it" is substituting here is supposed to be implied from previous context. So now I ask: what is "it" replacing in the sentence? As mentioned, pronouns take the place of a previously established noun. So now let's ask: what nouns can be gleamed from the previous clause that could be carried over to the next clause as the implied subject? For simplicity, I will rely on the understanding that a noun is a "person, place, or thing" and I will be using "noun" instead of repeatedly writing "noun/noun phrase". The first clause contains the following words that can be considered nouns: "room", and "improvement". So I present 2 ways to interpret what "it" is substituting: "...there is always room for improvement isn't room?" "...there is always room for improvement isn't improvement?" Now, you may have noticed that I didn't include "there" as a possible substitute for "it". One could very easily interpret "there" as the subject of the first clause and should then be a viable substitution. The rather humorous twist is: "there" is also being used as a pronoun. To back up a bit, I'd like to ask: what does the first clause accomplish in the phrase? I'd answer that the first phrase is a declarative sentence. Specifically, I'd say that the clause makes an existential declaration. The first clause speaks to the existence of "room for improvement". This means that "there" is being used as a substitute for a noun phrase like "in existence". What this means for why "there" can't be substituted for "it" is that "there" is already a placeholder itself. To use a placeholder("it") to replace a placeholder("there") would be redundant. This opens up another question: what is the purpose of the second clause? Why ask "isn't it?"/"isn't there?" at the end of the phrase at all? Typically, this question is used to see if the listener that the speaker is speaking to is in agreement with a previously made claim or assertion. The speaker is probing the listener for a contradiction to their claim to ensure that both parties agree with what was just said. So, with this in mind, the respective phrases (after substituting in for "it") could be asking: "Do you think what I just said is not room?" "Do you think what I just said is not improvement?" This presents a problem. The use of "it' narrows the scope of the phrase too narrowly. There is not enough evidence from the context provided which interpretation is the correct understanding of the original phrase. Additionally, both phrases leave out the "always" adverb from the original phrase, which may have been the part of the first clause the speaker wanted to check for contradictions for. This probably of ambiguity is solved by making the second clause "isn't there?". The use of "there" has already been established in the first phrase to mean something to the effect of "in existence". So when the speaker is probing for a contradiction, the second phrase may now be read as: "Do you think what I just said is not in existence?" This opens up every part of the first clause to be scrutinized and disputed by the listener as any disagreement with the first clause violates the existence the speaker was asking about. The next question would likely be "why can't 'it' mean 'in existence' as well?" To which, I'd say it's because "there" already means that, so to have two pronouns representing the same entity would be redundant. Which THEN begs the question; "if the first clause used 'it' instead of 'there', would the original phrase's second clause be correct since 'it' now bears the implied meaning of 'in existence'?" I would say that this is a fair assessment, and I think that "...it is always room for improvement isn't it?" would be technically correct. However, there is a fairly heavy tradition of using "there" as the "existential pronoun" over "it", so that phrasing would still sound really weird to most English speakers. Anyway, this went way longer than I expect. Hope you have an amazing day!
I do hope this does not sound mean but, english is a pretty easy language. In german for example every word has ine aligned gender that changes multiple words in the sentence. That is not that hard to figure out, the problem is that there is not a single rule explaining which word is alinged with wich gender so you just need to learn it by hard. Altough the weirdest part imo is how different it sounds compared to so many other languages, but thats just my humble opinion and i migth be wrong idk Love from Germany btw
I mean, instead in English you have to learn how to pronounce each word which as he explained can be a rough guessing game. German is at least quite phonetic in its spelling - that is most words are pronounced the way they are written (the "sch" and "Ch" and "ie" aside). Moreover, since you have to learn the vocabulary of a language anyway, learning the gender isn't that much extra work. Especially if you have a few rule of thumbs that make the guessing easier, like for example that most nouns that end on an "e" are female. In the end, every language has its quirks and difficulties that need to be learned :) Have a good day.
Hewwwww You're ain't ready for french language, WITH 100000 grammar and orthographic rules AND exceptions. I love how even the people talking English find it difficult whereas it's probably one of the most intuitive language in the world.
Jigglypuff's FS is actually pretty good if you go under the stage, unless your opponent's got really good air game it's pretty hard to dodge on BF/FD Literally anything other than BF/FD, though, then yeah it's trash
As someone who can get Little Mac in elite, but has no chance of getting any other character there, yeah, I just armour through everything and know some of the basic combos and mechanics and furiously spam smash attacks until I win.
I'm a noob with Ultimate, but as a Jigglypuff main, 2 mil kind of makes sense. Good movement with Jigglypuff requires timing mid-air jumps with the latency, and I have been punished so many times for my jump being delayed. Now repeat for each time you jump mid-air with Puff. :^) I'mma probably just cancel my online and go CPUs until I find hot Smash locals in my area.
Don't play CPUs. I got to the point where I two-stocked or three-stocked Level 9's in every game, and then was stuck at the bottom-end of GSP. I had to rewire my entire muscle memory to undo the damage. Laggy play against humans is better practice than lagless play against bots. It's not even close.
@@Jackaljkljkl I mean, I really doubt playing in a laggy, inconsistent environment is going to be unequivocally better. I'm not playing Smash Bros for GSP. I'm playing Smash Bros to have fun. Or at the very least, I'd like to play the game, with the online experience being me trying to meta-game and predict my own character more than the opponent. Edit: I also question how good it'll train me when my Little Mac is my best character.
@@Jassifrickanation The part where you saId "until I find Smash.locals in my area" made me think the end goal was offline tournaments. With this in mind, learning to play humans takes priority. Level 9 CPUs are really strong against some attacks - which you will subconsciously start ignoring - that may work well against humans. Conversely, some options will fool the bot every time, but a human - even a beginner - will never fall for these cheese situations more than once, if at all. For example, Level 9 CPU will never DI out of Byleth Up-B, which means you get the Side-B follow-up every time. On the other hand, humans will almost always DI (high level players intentionally, and beginners through panic) and this combo/killconform will never work.
@@Jackaljkljkl I just want to play the game and online puts me on full tilt the moment I'm juggling handfuls of inputs in a row that don't do anything I intend them to do. I have nobody local to play and I don't want to spend my time fully raging at the game itself. I barely even notice the other player I'm so busy dealing with Nintendo's ecosystem. That's all that needs to be said about online. So, again, my options are to rage, play CPUs, or not play at all. I'm not worried about being the best player. I just want to enjoy the game I've owned for years but haven't played because of how terrible the experience has been. And even then, big doubt I'll learn well playing online when the best player in the world loses more often online cuz doing dumb stuff is just flat out more rewarding online (hence hammering smash attacks online with Little Mac making him an S-tier character). I'm fully aware bots aren't realistic. They have reaction times that seem to be working before my move is even executing. They do dumb stuff like air dodge into the ground where I'm waiting to punish them hard. CPUs won't punish off stage when it could legit get them the win. It still beats going online and getting livid because "that's Smash Bros". Especially when I haven't played the game enough to even learn fundamental movements and that is HORRIBLE online. There is no proper movement online. It's just absolute garbage. I hate lag in all kinds of games. Even in emulators for retro games that people tell me they can work around (I cannot). So when I say that I'm going to find Smash locals, it's just to actually play and enjoy the game. You can take whatever you want from that but this whole conversation is like PTSD and reminding just how furious I've been with Nintendo's shit-ass approach on a game they released DLC to pander to their consumers and do better online (nice sword Sephiroth that feels twice as big online with a half second lag). I'm not ignorant to the problems. I just want to play this game again. Edit: Also talking about bad online habits, even some of the Underdogs talk about people deciding to roll instead of anything else. In my experience, rolling is way harder to punish online than a lot of other options. Like jumping. Jumping is super easy to punish cuz it doesn't have i-frames. Everything with i-frames is more ideal online because it's harder to time a punish. Armor, rolling, dodging, counter, etc. You'd get screwed over using them offline but online, makes them way better. Edited Again: Also, I know you might focus too much on that last paragraph so let me emphasize that my point is this game has major problems that can't be fixed by me making sure to spend money on their online ecosystem. It was intended mostly for kids cuz they're the main ones to tolerate the online and enjoy copious amounts of assist trophies and final smashes. And let me emphasize that my intent isn't to get good at the game playing CPUs, it's to actually have fun, hence the playing against locals and the fact you felt you had to point that out meant you're focusing on the wrong stuff.

13:25 I'm from the Netherlands and I feel attacked XD (Also fun fact iirc, in the European Smash Power Rankings 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th are Dutch People)
I think he just means Europe in general. Trust me if you played online over here in California you’d be like “why is everyone so sweaty?!” I feel like I have to play like it’s life or death just to maintain my 10mil gsp. And that’s mainly because over here it matches into Japan, Mexico and west coast US which are pretty much the 3 strongest regions. I think it has something to do with there just being so many players over here.

10:40 tbf English is a frankensteins monster-like mix of a bunch of languages
it’s French and Anglo-Saxon mixed together… and both those languages are already mixes of two different languages….
that’s why there are like 10 different sets of “rules”
10:30. Ooh! I like overthinking things! So the question is "why do we say 'isn't there' rather than 'isn't it'?"
TL;DR
"There" is more appropriate to use when making statements or asking questions about something's existence while "it" is more appropriate for specific, pre-established nouns. This is based on tradition of the English language.
The Full Breakdown:
Here's the phrase again for reference:
"...there is always room for improvement isn't it?"
This phrase features 2 independent clauses:
"there is always room for improvement" and
"isn't it?"
The word "it" is a pronoun that serves as a placeholder for some other noun that would be appropriate to put in its place. Generally, pronouns are useful for avoiding repetition. The noun that "it" is substituting here is supposed to be implied from previous context. So now I ask: what is "it" replacing in the sentence?
As mentioned, pronouns take the place of a previously established noun. So now let's ask: what nouns can be gleamed from the previous clause that could be carried over to the next clause as the implied subject? For simplicity, I will rely on the understanding that a noun is a "person, place, or thing" and I will be using "noun" instead of repeatedly writing "noun/noun phrase". The first clause contains the following words that can be considered nouns: "room", and "improvement". So I present 2 ways to interpret what "it" is substituting:
"...there is always room for improvement isn't room?"
"...there is always room for improvement isn't improvement?"
Now, you may have noticed that I didn't include "there" as a possible substitute for "it". One could very easily interpret "there" as the subject of the first clause and should then be a viable substitution. The rather humorous twist is: "there" is also being used as a pronoun.

What this means for why "there" can't be substituted for "it" is that "there" is already a placeholder itself. To use a placeholder("it") to replace a placeholder("there") would be redundant.
This opens up another question: what is the purpose of the second clause? Why ask "isn't it?"/"isn't there?" at the end of the phrase at all? Typically, this question is used to see if the listener that the speaker is speaking to is in agreement with a previously made claim or assertion. The speaker is probing the listener for a contradiction to their claim to ensure that both parties agree with what was just said.
So, with this in mind, the respective phrases (after substituting in for "it") could be asking:
"Do you think what I just said is not room?"
"Do you think what I just said is not improvement?"
This presents a problem. The use of "it' narrows the scope of the phrase too narrowly. There is not enough evidence from the context provided which interpretation is the correct understanding of the original phrase. Additionally, both phrases leave out the "always" adverb from the original phrase, which may have been the part of the first clause the speaker wanted to check for contradictions for.

The next question would likely be "why can't 'it' mean 'in existence' as well?" To which, I'd say it's because "there" already means that, so to have two pronouns representing the same entity would be redundant.
Which THEN begs the question; "if the first clause used 'it' instead of 'there', would the original phrase's second clause be correct since 'it' now bears the implied meaning of 'in existence'?" I would say that this is a fair assessment, and I think that "...it is always room for improvement isn't it?" would be technically correct. However, there is a fairly heavy tradition of using "there" as the "existential pronoun" over "it", so that phrasing would still sound really weird to most English speakers.
Anyway, this went way longer than I expect. Hope you have an amazing day!
I do hope this does not sound mean but, english is a pretty easy language. In german for example every word has ine aligned gender that changes multiple words in the sentence. That is not that hard to figure out, the problem is that there is not a single rule explaining which word is alinged with wich gender so you just need to learn it by hard. Altough the weirdest part imo is how different it sounds compared to so many other languages, but thats just my humble opinion and i migth be wrong idk
Love from Germany btw
I mean, instead in English you have to learn how to pronounce each word which as he explained can be a rough guessing game. German is at least quite phonetic in its spelling - that is most words are pronounced the way they are written (the "sch" and "Ch" and "ie" aside).
Moreover, since you have to learn the vocabulary of a language anyway, learning the gender isn't that much extra work. Especially if you have a few rule of thumbs that make the guessing easier, like for example that most nouns that end on an "e" are female.
In the end, every language has its quirks and difficulties that need to be learned :)
Have a good day.
congrats on getting verified poppt!
No one ever shared their loss? Alright then ... I'm going to share mine
I acctely really like when he gets of topic
(Use Jigglypuff’s Final Smash underneath the stage)
These perfect cuts are soooo goood
"He didn't tell me which Mac he was"
(Im using the shirt-mac skin) Lol
Hewwwww
You're ain't ready for french language, WITH 100000 grammar and orthographic rules AND exceptions.
I love how even the people talking English find it difficult whereas it's probably one of the most intuitive language in the world.
Jigglypuff's FS is actually pretty good if you go under the stage, unless your opponent's got really good air game it's pretty hard to dodge on BF/FD
Literally anything other than BF/FD, though, then yeah it's trash
Even then they can just burn their jumps and up b to ledge and they’ll probably avoid it all
Cries in dutch
I was in Jordan's boat with the 10.5 mil guess; that falco was in there doing IDJ combos!
POV: you skip to the part where he sees the jigglypuffs GSP
Keep doing this
Rickson is the man I've been wanting to pick that book up
I love this series!!!!!!😃
I like these guess the gsp videos!
As someone who can get Little Mac in elite, but has no chance of getting any other character there, yeah, I just armour through everything and know some of the basic combos and mechanics and furiously spam smash attacks until I win.
Good book series:
The maze runner
Percy Jackson
The hunger games
The ADHD is heavy in this video lol
I'm italian and when poppt1 sayd "ciao" i've cryed for the emotion, btw poppt i'm also in ur discord and I main dark pit
English is hard to teach.
Me:It's also hard to learn English.
him talking about dough, through, and cough actually killed me LMAO english is so wack
I kinda cringed a bit when he said that noone has died by the Jigglypuff final smash when i've lost online matches by it
Nobody can guess my GSP.
"English is a diffuculte language..."
Have you ever heard about what we call "Frensh" ?
umm I think that marth may have been me I need to look through my replays though and check because I remember playing a really good enderman
Poppt, those falcos were not good bro
lol
"English is so hard to learn"
have you ever tryed french ?
You underestimate the power of other languages
People think I like licking boots when I really don’t like licking boots it’s really just an addiction
The attention span in this video is all over the place lol
This guy gives me huge Shaggy vibes idk why
I'm a noob with Ultimate, but as a Jigglypuff main, 2 mil kind of makes sense. Good movement with Jigglypuff requires timing mid-air jumps with the latency, and I have been punished so many times for my jump being delayed. Now repeat for each time you jump mid-air with Puff. :^) I'mma probably just cancel my online and go CPUs until I find hot Smash locals in my area.
Don't play CPUs.
I got to the point where I two-stocked or three-stocked Level 9's in every game, and then was stuck at the bottom-end of GSP.
I had to rewire my entire muscle memory to undo the damage.
Laggy play against humans is better practice than lagless play against bots. It's not even close.
@@Jackaljkljkl I mean, I really doubt playing in a laggy, inconsistent environment is going to be unequivocally better. I'm not playing Smash Bros for GSP. I'm playing Smash Bros to have fun. Or at the very least, I'd like to play the game, with the online experience being me trying to meta-game and predict my own character more than the opponent.
Edit: I also question how good it'll train me when my Little Mac is my best character.
@@Jassifrickanation The part where you saId "until I find Smash.locals in my area" made me think the end goal was offline tournaments.
With this in mind, learning to play humans takes priority.
Level 9 CPUs are really strong against some attacks - which you will subconsciously start ignoring - that may work well against humans. Conversely, some options will fool the bot every time, but a human - even a beginner - will never fall for these cheese situations more than once, if at all.
For example, Level 9 CPU will never DI out of Byleth Up-B, which means you get the Side-B follow-up every time.
On the other hand, humans will almost always DI (high level players intentionally, and beginners through panic) and this combo/killconform will never work.
@@Jackaljkljkl I just want to play the game and online puts me on full tilt the moment I'm juggling handfuls of inputs in a row that don't do anything I intend them to do. I have nobody local to play and I don't want to spend my time fully raging at the game itself. I barely even notice the other player I'm so busy dealing with Nintendo's ecosystem. That's all that needs to be said about online. So, again, my options are to rage, play CPUs, or not play at all.
I'm not worried about being the best player. I just want to enjoy the game I've owned for years but haven't played because of how terrible the experience has been. And even then, big doubt I'll learn well playing online when the best player in the world loses more often online cuz doing dumb stuff is just flat out more rewarding online (hence hammering smash attacks online with Little Mac making him an S-tier character).
I'm fully aware bots aren't realistic. They have reaction times that seem to be working before my move is even executing. They do dumb stuff like air dodge into the ground where I'm waiting to punish them hard. CPUs won't punish off stage when it could legit get them the win. It still beats going online and getting livid because "that's Smash Bros". Especially when I haven't played the game enough to even learn fundamental movements and that is HORRIBLE online. There is no proper movement online. It's just absolute garbage.
I hate lag in all kinds of games. Even in emulators for retro games that people tell me they can work around (I cannot). So when I say that I'm going to find Smash locals, it's just to actually play and enjoy the game. You can take whatever you want from that but this whole conversation is like PTSD and reminding just how furious I've been with Nintendo's shit-ass approach on a game they released DLC to pander to their consumers and do better online (nice sword Sephiroth that feels twice as big online with a half second lag).
I'm not ignorant to the problems. I just want to play this game again.
Edit: Also talking about bad online habits, even some of the Underdogs talk about people deciding to roll instead of anything else. In my experience, rolling is way harder to punish online than a lot of other options. Like jumping. Jumping is super easy to punish cuz it doesn't have i-frames. Everything with i-frames is more ideal online because it's harder to time a punish. Armor, rolling, dodging, counter, etc. You'd get screwed over using them offline but online, makes them way better.
Edited Again: Also, I know you might focus too much on that last paragraph so let me emphasize that my point is this game has major problems that can't be fixed by me making sure to spend money on their online ecosystem. It was intended mostly for kids cuz they're the main ones to tolerate the online and enjoy copious amounts of assist trophies and final smashes. And let me emphasize that my intent isn't to get good at the game playing CPUs, it's to actually have fun, hence the playing against locals and the fact you felt you had to point that out meant you're focusing on the wrong stuff.
@@Jassifrickanation Join a Discord for your main character or local area, and use it to arrange games in Battle Arenas.
If opponents aren't grinding GSP, it's more fun for everyone and you can play more freely. Plus you can switch characters, stages and music, as well as having good connections.
13:25 I'm from the Netherlands and I feel attacked XD
(Also fun fact iirc, in the European Smash Power Rankings 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th are Dutch People)
Had precies ht zelfde
Wij zijn gewoon anders opgevoed. Wij moeten ploegen, zweten en eten elke dag stampot om op zo'n hoog niveau te spelen
I think he just means Europe in general. Trust me if you played online over here in California you’d be like “why is everyone so sweaty?!” I feel like I have to play like it’s life or death just to maintain my 10mil gsp. And that’s mainly because over here it matches into Japan, Mexico and west coast US which are pretty much the 3 strongest regions. I think it has something to do with there just being so many players over here.
POPPIT
3:46 PEOPLE LISTEN UPPPPPPP!!!! @Poppt1 YOU 2. Jigs's final smash is actually supposed to be used with jigs under the stage to maximise area of affect. also @Poppt1 you capitalised Inklings name so it says INkling just so you know i'm SMART 😤
Then there's me Nobody posts their losses? I literally just posted a match I lost on that server yesterday...
Poppt1’s book is cool because it’s like a manga to where you read right to left. Now that I think about it don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve read a normal book instead of a manga hmm… I’m sure a lot of people can relate though.
