as someone who has worked in youtube video production, this is video is incredibly well produced and i love the fact that it's concise, to the point, mixes in humor without getting overbearing, has fun visual gags that aren't obnoxious, and the audio quality is very nice. Keep it up my dude =)
Zain talked about this on the scar and toph podcast and how he only focuses on how he can improve and not so much on his results. He attributed that mindset to why instead of getting salty after losing a set he usually gets sad. It’s defiantly a huge part to growth in melee that gets overlooked by a lot of players.
I really needed to hear this, and the "why" is what makes this video solid. Great production, interesting cut-ins and outs, memorable quotes, backed by the "experts" of the game. A+
You only got 220 subscribers? Damn, this video quality is *excellent*. While I liked this video, I think you could have gone a little bit deeper into it. Maybe dig into the psychology of players a little big more and identify some mental traps that people fall into when they forget this concept, and how to avoid it in the first place. You seem like you have a solid enough understanding of the community and the game, I'd really like to see you push out more content like this, especially considering it applies to every smash game and helps sustain and grow the community as a whole :)
I always get worried about getting too wordy with these vids, so its good to know theres an audience that wants it to go even deeper into it. Thanks for the feedback :P
Every bit of this video is extremly high quality but the words are what id like to thank you for. Mindset has always been my biggest struggle. Ive searched all over for advice on how to improve healthily but simply knowing about growth midset, trying to learn not to win, and even wanting to lose doesnt get me all of the way there. It helps but it superficial. The things that youve gone over here actually make a noticeable difference in my perception and enjoilyment of the game. I hope to review this video whenever i lose sight of why i play and that this practice will allow me to keep melee in my life for so much longer than the many competitive games ive dropped due to my poor mentality. Thank you for helping me on my journey. I am grateful.
I have a friend who seems to care more about winning than actual friendlies, but then he never really performs up to par on tournament. This attitude used to annoy me, but I am trying to learn not to take friendlies seriously (he even used to keep count, I think). But yesterday and the day before, I played a lot better against another friend, because we have a similiar attitude about just going all the shit we want to go for, things like risky stuff and things of the matter. It's no surprise to me that is helping me improve.
Hey great video! In particular I liked the concept of how you can improve playing people of ANY skill level - it's not something I really thought about before but I definitely agree with the analysis! I have a question though - at 2:27 what did you do to get a very crisp looking Captain Falcon model to run and then crouch? The video editor inside me tells me you recorded Falcon in front of a green screen, but how did you go about recording that? Can I ask or is that a trade secret? Regardless this was a fun watch! Thanks for the video!
yeah thats actually kind of the point lol. You probably wont do whatever your working on well in matches for a little while. Just remember its ok to spend time being bad at something or lose friendlies. Id just camp plats for a little bit and hold shield.
hello mr phrigid. i believe i have been following the information you have in this video and i have never won a friendly. why am i not getting any better? help
