Finally got a chance to settle down and play Ultimate again and I definitely needed this. 10/10 guide

Alright, that was fun. Nicely done, my dude.

I thought I was the only one. And see Spider-Man across the spider verse in theaters Friday

11:44 fair can combo very well of if u have 2extra jumps

Very nice stuff

IM SO MICH BETTER ATCONTEN T THAN THEM dont care

His aerials need to be so precise and on point for such a mediocre reward. Idk if it’s worth learning lol

Is it possible to create situations which forces the enemy to tech ?

Does lucario have to cancel sphere to input an attack afterwards when you use it for hitstun into kill confirm?

Pleaseeee tell us the inputs, you’re just telling us the scenarios and not the actual controller inputs

You didn’t explain how to b reverse at all though? You said “inputting a direction on the control stick and pressing special afterwards will cause lucario to turn around as he charges his sphere” but this isn’t true. He just continues facing the same direction that the initial movement was in before special was pressed. Can you give a better explanation of how to b reverse please.

How would you cancel aura sphere in 29:14?

I'll still watch your videos

HOLY shit this video is entertaining, well made and very comprehensive. I don't know how it hasn't blown up along w ur channel. Amazing content.

Ｐｒⓞм𝕠𝕤𝐌 🙋

This is great! Love the editing style and the accompanying notes

Did you mention all of Lucario's moves: -Jab -Forward tilt -Up tilt -Down tilt -Dash attack -Forward smash -Up smash -Down smash -Neutral aerial -Forward aerial -Back aerial -Up aerial -Down aerial -Grabs -Special moves -Final Smash

Hey folks! Took quite a while to get this one out. Truthfully these last few months have not been the kindest to me for many many reasons haha. I'm not the happiest with how this turned out but eitherway, I hope you enjoyed it!

A friend sent this guide to me because he plays faust as a secondary and as a new player I struggle a lot against faust because it feels like there's nothing you can do against him, he pressures from the other end of the screen and if you do find an opening it feels like every time he has an item that happens to cover it. I hate the matchup because it just feels like I cannot play the game, and this video both shows their weaknesses, and also how I think faust is poorly designed. Every item is either "this does nothing for you" which feels awful for the faust player to get, or "this makes the opponent have to stay back" which is miserable for them, so outside of once the faust can snowball into having enough items that its incomprehensible nonsense that they thrive in, someone's always having a bad time.

I learned so much from this, thank you

I find that quick light tapping shield helps will cancel on controller from Aura. It helps now that I know precisely on how it is done.

I know im late, but i don't care if you quit ultimate, thank you for helping me learn lucario, but i will still watch your videos <3 thank you for everything

I do like the idea of putting shield over taunt I might use that

I liked this style

Definitely not unsubscribing, I was here for Lucario stuff but I also liked the other videos(like how smash guides aren't very good) I support you and I'm glad to hear you found passion in things you're interested in, Keep doing your thing!!

Ah damn, it's sad to see you go from the Smash community man! I'm glad you're putting your actual interests first rather than forcing yourself into a role as just the Lucario-only guy - keep doing things for you (I know literally nothing about GGS so it'll be fun to see what I'm missing hahaha)

Oh my

I’m going to my first tournament in a little over a month. I have played Lucario a while back but just picked him back up today. This video will definitely help me with my basic knowledge.

I figured i'd spend a few hours having a bit of fun with enter the gungeon while i'm working away on a more serious guide relating to smash ultimate! If you haven't played this gem of a game please do. It's pretty cheap and is on pretty much every platform!

Y it so sad

How do your record training mode?

How do you cancel Aura Sphere? I allways roll or jump, but idk how to do it with an attack

Sick guide bro thanks sm, fun fact tho, mega man dair can be +1 on shield so that might be the safest aerial

Your lucario is nasty af RESPECT😤

Lucario is basically escanor

This video speaks facts. I love the points it brings across and the way it does so. An unexpected video from your channel, but a very much welcome one. Hope you can get your video out to your intended audiences

I'm glad you included many content creators here since it'll helps me see what these other channels do. Also I find a lot of smaller channels do a lot of great content that's more analytical/technical smash content.

On the other hand of edited content, I find the ADHD cuts packed with mildly relevant b roll footage in the first half of your video to be detrimental to digesting to what youre saying and actually engaging my brain. The necrodancer bgm is also way too loud. I know people want to capture the tiktok attention span but god damn. I agree with your points about packaging the content mattering or how its exponentially improved with some effort in post. That doesnt mean low effort content doesnt yield a higher return though. A smaller youtuber may get more traction with an well-made instructional video that has broad appeal than any hot take, but its not the same for someone with a more established expertise and viewership. Does that mean you have take the low effort option, no, but I get the frustration. CZcams monetization isnt doing creators any favors here. I dont think its fair to categorically expect quality presentation just because someone is a top player who streams. Those skills dont transfer to being good at making an edited video, and if making videos isnt their focus, I dont blame them for spending the tens to hundreds of hours great edited content can take. Frankly if someone wants to make an intended for YT stream highlight Im just glad if they have a piece of paper with an outline written on it and turn off notifications.

Is Lucario any good ? I lowkey think he’s underrated

Have a sub man. Do you think these players burn out because their eSports orgs make them upload daily? It seems like Marss specifically has really burned the fuck out since going hardcore with Panda and having to do all their gimmick content.

Top player analysis/guides are just part of the basic content loop of stream -> upload highlights to youtube -> repeat. There isn't really any more effort put into it than "Falco uptilt-bair compilation" (shoutouts to Larry, awesome video btw) and they are not seriously educational content by any means. That is not to say you can't get anything out of it, but it's mostly just gonna be 1-2 ideas that you can keep in mind. But tying it back to Fiction's post: Analytical content can do extremely well. Izaw's guides have hundreds of thousands of views. Although I imagine there is way less of an audience for that kinda thing in Melee.

Top players have to balance training, going to events, and being content creators. So, unless they have a good editor and can naturally create a good structure while recording its gonna be rough unless they are willing to put in a lot of work. Regarding presentation, i think it isn't necessary. Although my videos' structure and editing are good, i rarely use any special effects or anything to spice it up as it isn't super necessary. If your video is engaging people are gonna want to watch.

This is a great video, I will say I thought the music from the intro to just before the "the art of cloud vs m2k video" was too loud compared to your voice. Could just be personal preference but I figured I'd share with you anyways, good luck with the channel!

I think you kinda hit the nail on the head when talking about streaming at the end. A lot of top figureheads definitely have the ability to make well-paced guides that are easy to digest at all levels (especially when you consider that bigger, sponsored players will often hire dedicated editors for their videos), but streaming is such a large time commitment/money maker for so many of these people that spending time on a guide like that isn't worth the effort. Making guides that are effectively just stream highlights benefits them the same way any other highlight video would - they don't have to spend extra time outside of streaming and can make a profit on both the stream and the eventual video upload. I'd love to see proper video guides and analytical content from the top, but I just don't think it's feasible when most FGC figures have to be entertainers/personalities first and professional esports players second to financially sustain their careers.

Very clear video for sure. It baffles me that high level players don't have high output of quality into their content. I'm also super stoked you referenced me! It's an honor that my videos make anyone enthralled and engaged with any interest at all. ...thank you. So much.

Great analysis man. Subbed. Furthermore its painful spending a week plus on one video, just for it to not get pushed by the algorithm then seeing a video with 0 to no effort on the same topic garner wayyyyyy more views. It's frustrating as hell, but nevertheless that is the game. But don't worry we too will get to experience HBox pop off one of these days! Cheers and keep it up! And you're a FAUST PLAYER??? let's go. I have Faust guides I'm cooking up. Maybe we can collab on something

I don't disagree with your argument, but I do find this video hypocritical in its delivery. It feels meandering, excessively long, and guilty of self-indulgent pacing. I think you easily could have made the same core arguments with a handful of strong demonstrations in a few minutes or so.

This is unfortunately pretty true. I main sheik so I watched all of Void's 2 hour long guide on her, and can confidently say I zoned out not 10 minutes into the thing after a ramble about IDJ combos being optimal for 20%, compared to ftilt x2 -> upair strings. I improved my Sheik more with Apolotion's greninja guides, due to their digestibility and presentation. Love watching Void play, but a good player =/= a good teacher.

I wouldn't say that the laziness stops at analytical content when it comes to top players. As much I respect MKleo, his videos bored me to tears. Larry Lurr is a coin toss to whether they will be good or not and that is what I believe to be the worst vs the best. Maybe my opinion is needlessly harsh, but it's something I can't get past.
