Improving Your Neutral in SSBU: Decision Making 

By the way, I got a new microphone! Let us know if it made a difference.

It’s actually really hard to come across well edited and planned out tutorials/videos nowadays. Huge kudos

And just a couple of days ago, MK Leo went 24-1 in Ludwig's Smash Invitational

I always relied on reads for my playstyle, and I feel it worked a lot better in Brawl and Smash 4. Punishing and reacting to things like rolls, spotdodge and airdodges was a lot easier, and I could do it consistently. Ultimate makes it a lot harder to punish or react to these, which is why I feel people can get away with a lot more.

This, along with the neutral triangle really helped me get better...or put me back to my old state where i was better...quickplay and lag just DOES something to your skill XD

Ah yes, Skullgirls music.

Really great video I really like your take on the concepts. Also very nicely edited good work keep it up!

A big lesson I've been learning lately is that it's so much more consistent to go for reaction based punishes than reads

Excellent production values, entertaing and really easy to digest concepts. Please keep up the good work!!

How is this content so high quality. Great channel

These videos are so great, thanks so much!

I am just going to start sticking videos like this in to a playlist so that I can have a little place to watch all these videos. But, these videos are developed pretty well and I enjoy them for the higher production and knowledge I get from it.

ty for this high quality videos man

That was an amazing video! Can't wait to see your next videos :O

i am 8 months late finding this channel so far im binging every video and seeing the Vedhan appearance was beyond unexpected to me lmao all of this has been beyond underrated and i cant wait to see more from you planning to join the discord too later btw (watched the short 1,000 sub special to get that out of the way before this)

Great video!

WAS THE BEST CFL SHULK VEDHAN XENO

MkLeo seems like such a nice guy

Woohoo they're back!

Love your content

Just came across this channel today, and I have to say it's amazing! I just watched every video and am looking forward to more keep up the Great Work

Praise God 🙏🏾

I bought the game yesterday, i've played over 100 online matches and the amount i've won can be counted on one hand. Makes me regret the purchase, but me sucking isnt the games fault. Thanks for the tips.

Wow!

Song choices 👍🏾

What game is this? Love the content!

I like all the street fighter music you use. I like street fighter

Hey Could you do some Examples with DK at some point :)

What’s the name of the second track that played

Hi Luke, Great editing...you make Mama proud!

LMAO THE VEDHAN CLIP

What's the song at 2:30? Also sick vid

LOOOOOL Vedhan

wait but decisions are based on reads and conditioning?

good advice, but it’s unclear from the video what the difference is between reads and decisions. you make decisions based on risk/reward and what you think your opponent will do, but can also decide to try to read your opponent based on similar risk/reward? sounds the same to me

comment for the algorithm

I feel like the concept of a conscious decision in Smash is uncommon and unlikely. This video sounds more like it is talking about reads than decisions. You are still relying on the opponent to play into your hands considering the limited context given. These decisions are the same thing as reads.

2:43 I'm in this picture and I don't like it

You're using the term "read" when what you really mean is "guess." And yes, a "read" is a sort of guess--but it's not completely random. Players who are better at the psychological aspect of smash have a MUCH higher percentage of success making reads than if they were pure luck. This is because these players are "in the head" of the other player, and intuitively recognize (or "read") what the other player wants to do. In fact, some players' style is fundamentally based off of reads. Skyjay is a great example of this. Mkleo is also very good at reading his opponents. An example of a player who is NOT good at making reads is Tweek. He has absolutely amazing technical skills and his movement is as smooth as butter. But his reads SUCK. In fact, he's so bad at making reads that his success % on them is WORSE than if he flipped a coin. If you have the ability to figure out your opponent and capitalize on your intuitions, you definitely should, and many times players have won games (and entire tournaments) because they went for a read at the right moment instead of playing it safe with the risk/reward.

i think maybe you shouldnt corner yourself in ssbu. Its smash fundies. Sure your matchup videos definately should be mainly about ult but everything in this video also applies to Melee and other platform fighters. Actually this video applies to all fighting games but you get the idea.

Lmao vedhan blocked me on twitter because I called him weird and I will never shut up about it
