    How did I miss this? This is awesome! MegD is probably the player that has most radically changed how I play. Before first watching him, I was a new Jaeyun player swapping from Lucien. Lucien works very well for an aggressive playstyle, but as fun as greatsword is, it needs a slower pace to let it shine. Not only that, but I was beginning to realize that I do best when formulating a plan, and tend to lose in scrambles. When I first saw MegD, I didn't see a passive player, I saw a way to get me the time and space to formulate a plan for each opponent. I could rely on letting my opponents make mistakes early on to keep me in the match while I downladed how they moved, setting up for my greatsword in the endgame. And most importantly, I learned that a guaranteed punish, no matter how small, is better than an optimal punish. It doesn't matter how much more damage I could have gotten from a sword dlight combo, because the nlight that I KNEW would hit still gave me damage and stage positioning. I do get hate from people calling me passive, but I don't mind as long as they keep charging headfirst into a greatsword slight. So thank you, MegD, for showing me a way to play to my strengths.
    Also the slowdown edits every time the MegD tech was used is peak editing.

      It Is Just BH tbh
      In Other games usually players have a certain set of characters Who are divided in classes
      BH Is really Just play however you want with whatever you want.
      It Is a good thing? Yes, in that way everyone can adapt to the Legend they like more
      It's not the best thing when you have 8 minutes for One single match where you can wait for the timeout doing nothing Other than dodging and/or waiting for punishes (with also being able to do every Other thing every Other Legend can do). I also don't think adopting the same playstyle would be beneficial to the game, unless players suddenly start to enjoy it

    • @Vondakay
      @Vondakay  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      its most likely the helpnesses someone feels when they believe they are putting their all into something and not getting the disred outcome immediately. Fighting games are p good at giving the match results away very fast and people like to know if they are better or not immediately (some do mainly the impatient ones)
      SO when they are not immediately guaranteed the win they get upset and resign

  • @sachi8483

    I dont play Brawlhalla at all, didnt even know it had Esport. But i highly respect Megd bc he does the one thing people hate and uses it to his advatage. And thats patiance and the waiting game, i have a set amout of time in a match imma use all of it. Its just gonna make your opponent impatiante, frustrated, salty wich in turn will make them misplay, wich can be exploited and can win you a game.
    Even in League this shit works (in lower ranks ofc), just make your opponemt angry amd frustrated youll see how easely they fall apart and can even leave making you fight a 5v4 and in turn win a game. Sometimes playing the player can be just as beneficial as understanding the game mechanics combos and.moves to an incredible lvl.

    • @Vondakay
      @Vondakay  ปีที่แล้ว

      Totally fine if you don't play Brawlhalla (I hardly have time to play it myself so I mainly watch when I'm not streaming it). Playing the player is just as beneficial and we see this in tournament play quite a bit especially with fighting games where it is very one on one.
      Bad news for league unfortunately on using all the time given. They may make it so only 4 votes are needed to forfeit at 15 mins.

    I wish playing passive was cooler in platform fighters, I think its cool in traditional fighters (2d and 3d) but its just feels wrong in a platform fighter, probably because u gotta camp for about 7 minutes in a platform fighter (and usual its really easy to run), while in a traditional fighter its 60~90 second rounds, and running is not easy unless its from a slow character, traditional fighters are simultaneously faster and slower than platform fighters, I feel like depending on the player it could fall to either extreme, although it usually is a good middle ground

      I was telling this to my friend who plays Smash who asked about why you can't just punish MegD for constantly air dodging or holding center stage. Essentially Brawl is missing the core element of in between running and attacking and that's blocking/shield.
      Also you can turn on a dime instantly and dodge instantly. The characters feel light as a feather when compared to other games.
      I like to say a 5 minute Brawl game is the mental equivalent of a 40 minute League of Legends match or a Overtime Overwatch game. It's super mentally draining.

      @@Vondakay I think if u dodge through an attack in brawlhalla it should have the frame data it has now, but if u miss then it should have more end lag to be punishable to make running a bit harder. And I honestly think blocking should be in more platform fighters, if done right, smash does not, in traditional fighting games there are a lot of safe attacks, and even attacks that are plus on block (which means that the attacker can act before the defender), but in smash practically everything is punishable which makes blocking op, and people dont grab enough cause its risky and no one will go for the grab up air mix (jump beats grab grab beats shield up air beats jump, but loses to shield, rolling beats both grabing and up air but u get no punish its a fun little mind game), and I really like strike throw mixes like that, I hope rivals of aether 2 does blocking like a traditional fighter so its not a 99% counter to normal attacks, and I hope a platform fighter does High low mixups, I dont think it would be too much in a platform fighter like some say

      In person sitting next to someone all the effects you feel online become so much realer and intense. From the thrill of winning to the worst feelings of being hallow after throwing a match. Timing out your opponent in long mental periods would definitely do a mental toll. As for online and offline the game pretty much plays the same. Faster string weapons do a bit better offline tho.

    I don’t think a sandstorm and megd comparison is right because at least with sandstorm like you said he’s in your face and also does throw out attacks in neutral. with megd he will literally give up stage control just to run to the corner and empty hop the whole game without attacking until you wiff. vastly different players and idc if i sound like a hater, i genuinely hope for everyone’s sake megd doesn’t win any tourneys ever.

    I don't think his results proved doubters wrong, no one is necessarily saying he isn't good or skilled, I certainly can admit that MegD is a much more talented player than myself; What people are saying about him is that his play style is boring to watch, infuriating to play against, and the exact opposite of why nearly everyone else plays the game. Yes, other players can be passive, like the example you mentioned with Sandstorm. However, to compare the levels of passiveness between him and MegD is like comparing a sports car to a moped; they're so wildly different that it's silly to even compare them to one another. Props to MegD, but that doesn't mean that I will enjoy watching him play live in a tournament, or even watch his games on VODHALLA.

      Do you guys not understand how funding for tournaments work? Yes, he’s playing to win, but at the same time, if isn’t entertaining the people watching it, that will lead to LESS viewership which leads to LESS sponsorships, which ultimately leads to less money and the game’s esports scenes dying out. That’s why you often see tactics like these try to get snubbed out.

      This is a super good point! A lot of the doubters or haters didn't particularly dislike his skill or deny it. It's the presentation that it was delivered.
      On top of that sword on a defensive character also is not too exciting either. Which would further propel the image of him being boring.
      So the part about people not liking him/watching him is true it's not that deep.
      Disliking a person only takes a fraction of a first impression

    s a huge fan of both music and grilled cheese sandwiches, I have to say that the Grilled Cheese Obama Sandwich song is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. From the first time I heard it, I knew that it was something special that I would want to listen to again and again. The opening guitar chords immediately drew me in, and I found myself tapping my feet along with the beat as the lyrics began. The playful and lighthearted tone of the song instantly put a smile on my face, and I couldn't help but sing along to the catchy chorus. But what really impressed me about this song was the clever way that it paid tribute to one of America's most beloved former presidents. The lyrics were full of witty references to Barack Obama's love of grilled cheese sandwiches, and I found myself laughing out loud at some of the clever wordplay. As I listened to the song, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for the simple pleasures of childhood. The idea of a perfectly toasted grilled cheese sandwich evoked memories of lazy afternoons spent with friends, enjoying a snack and talking about our favorite things. But even as I reveled in this sense of nostalgia, I couldn't help but feel a sense of hope for the future. Barack Obama was a president who inspired millions of people with his vision of a more inclusive and equitable America, and the Grilled Cheese Obama Sandwich song captured that spirit of hope and optimism perfectly.

      @@ДаниєльБонгонда Lmao stop fckin hating. You guys dream you could be where he is. Hell 10k hours and yall would probably still be in plat. Both nothing. There's a difference between you average douchebags watching a tournament from home and a dude that's actually playing at the highest level in the tournament. If he was bad like yall he wouldnt be there. Stop crying so hard and maybe yall learn something

      @@krazymeanie There's levels to things, first i definitely stated im not calling anyone trash so I'm not talking about megd cuz i dnt think he's trash i think he's annoying.
      But if your in the pro scene im then the implications im talking about pros, of all the pros u are the worst. (not talking bout anyone in particular) But im not going to specify that they are a pro and are better than 90% of people who play every single time i want to call them bad or point out they're at the bottom of their class.
      Just because im not a pro doesn't make me blind like i can still analyze and as an actual player im not oblivious to what they do and how they do it. its not basketball the only difference between me and a pro is decision making and a setup pc clearly better than console.

    MegD is good at reading but trash at properly executing and really fighting in general. he gets damage off opponents mistakes and misses but does only chip damage.

    For some reason, megD is pronounced "medG", why is that?

      People say Meg Dee but it can sound weird at first and get confused with med Gee.
