    you guys just made great overall tutorial, A is punchy-punchy, B is character specific nonsense and then there is jumping, aerial recovery, blocking, grab and directional throws, edge grabbing and the percentage that is not your healthbar!

    • @Sableagle
      @Sableagle Před 5 lety +2

      Also you have to watch the colours around your user icon because they show what combination of button and stick circle has a damage boost based on the number of explosions happening on the screen at a time, but the damage boost takes a while to recharge, indicated by the varying length of your dust trails as you move unless someone's hit you with the debuff that makes your dust trail fixed length, which also reverses those colours to confuse you but you can tell when that's happened because the sequence changes, and there's this thing you can carry which is just like a single dot on your character which makes you do more damage to the right or to the left depending which way you were moving when you picked it up, but it also makes you take more damage from the other direction, so you can sometimes exploit that and sometimes you have to get rid of it by pressing A and B together as you jump through a cloud to leave it there where someone else'll pick it up and if they don't notice they've got it you can get them from the weak side but also you have to watch out for the slow zone spells that move across the screen left-to-right or right-to-left depending on which combination of characters are in-play and how many times each one's been defeated, and when someone's using a lightning move if you ...
      Wait. Why am I even explaining this? Everybody already knows all this. If they didn't, the game would have a tutorial.

    Smash is all about movement. If you can recover at high percentage, dance in and out of your opponent's range, and use your attacks as movement options, you'll be able to beat the majority of casual players. Luke was torturing everyone during the livestream simply because he knew how to move around and nobody knew how to catch him. Andy may have "won", but Luke got all the points, and it's because his movement was head and shoulders above everyone else.

      @@Sableagle Fighting games are skill based, and skills take time to learn. It's not "gatekeeping" to tell a new skateboarder she can expect to fall down a lot before learning to stand on the board, it's not gatekeeping to checkmate a noob at the chess club, and it's not gatekeeping to beat the holy hell out of somebody who isn't familiar with Smash.
      Competing against human opponents isn't like playing a linear game where everyone wins if they give it 10 hours. Human opponents are cunning and they are cruel. Luckily, there are TONS of new people on Smash right now, so you shouldn't be intimidated. Getting beat the crap out of is part of the learning process.

    This is really neat to watch half a decade later when fighting games are coming up with all kinds of smooth onboarding systems to get new players into the mix. It's crazy to think that Tekken 7 or SmashU released with nothing more than a few loading screen tips and no directions at all. One great quote I heard from Harada (Tekken dev) about their doing so was that they were afraid that revealing too much of the game's complexity in something like a tutorial would scare away newcomers, but we also know that the Smash team hates the idea of encouraging the game be played competitively in any way, and that they woul be limited in how much they could actually do with a tutorial because they themselves don't fully understand the nuances of the game they've created.

    Loved your content all year, always so good and great knowledge of the games of 2018 and also, great smash bros skills, proof that Luke is a smash master and Ellen will learn so much from the master. Have a great Festive period Ellen and Luke, see you in 2019.

    Ellen's adventure with smash bros is basically like mine. I didn't grow up with nintendo besides pokemon on the gameboy. So I feel like there is this whole mini generation like us getting into it now! Its gonna be good!

    At 5:05 you can come from street fighter if you play Ryu or KJen because as well as the normal smash controls, those characters work with the quarter circles and directional inputs etc. from Street Fighter.

    I haven't finished the video yet, but regarding the first 7 minutes, where they talk about tutorials... If you open the sidebar on the main menu, there's a button in the lower right corner that says "Help." Clicking on that brings up a very detailed manual that explains pretty much everything in the game, both basic stuff and advanced techniques (that are too advanced for me to use because my reaction speed is too low, so I basically just button mash instead). So there _are_ instructions for how to play, and they're not particularly hidden either.

    Having been an owner of the original SSB on the N64, I've known how to play the game for forever. And I've always found the way to introduce people is by having someone who knows the game explain the basic concepts (A is normal attacks, B is special moves, etc) and then have any other better players kind of just leave them alone for at least a few games while they figure it out. And then having the better players be good enough to answer questions, like with the smash ball. The fact that the sticks have to be static and some final smashes are close range some transform you, etc. The learning curve is steep so far as being familiar with the ins and outs of all of the characters.
    But ultimately smash is a party game. Learning it without someone to guide you through the introduction sounds like a terrible experience, even if it had good tutorials, the game has always been structured more like a jump in and play type of game. Granted I do recognize not everyone had or has siblings/roommates to play with regularly. Which is how I learned the game. But that is really the ideal way to play. Sitting on a couch, yelling at each other. It's always had a solo part but that's for sharpening skills and unlocking things not learning the basics.

    I agree with Ellen's game of the year, I got it for my birthday and it is the best super hero game I have ever played except it's a bit short
    However red dead redemption, in my opinion, is the best if you want an immersive experience (though I do think god of war is an easy second or third place in my opinion)
    Anyone agree?

      @@theenigma2861 Game of the year has nothing to do with Category though. That's why they have other categories like "Best RPG" and "Best action game". Game of the year goes to the best executed game of the entire year. I do agree that in terms of an open world narrative and narrative gameplay, RDR2 absolutely nailed it. No open world game in the history of gaming has achieved a level of depth that RDR2 has, but this isn't about one awesome thing the game does well. Game of the year has to take into account games all genres and in that light, GOW definitely deserves the win.

    the directional buttons deciding what moves you use has been a thing for a lot of games, and my favourite ps2 fighting game... a game that also had literally no tutorial. D': I understand the pain of no tutorial in fighting games.
    But yeah, the directional buttons deciding the move is actually really useful and pretty much the best way to set up a game, especially in a multilayer, multiplayer game, it just takes forever to get used to it.

    Luke, what if Samus Aran is actually adult Princess Zelda who exhausted all her magic trying to find Link/Doom guy. She caught a glimpse of his Doom Guy armour and wrongly assumed he's in space. Hence she embarked on an 'Doom'ed quest to reunite with him. Destined to wander the Galaxy forever, never knowing she's searching in the wrong place........
