The Fundamental Intentions of Neutral 

I've definitely played 1 IQ Melee before. Big fan!!

im a big fan of the hold forward part

This is such a creative way to describe neutral. Really great points about how whiff punish shines above the other options. Keep it coming these videos are amazing.

glad i was randomly up at 5:30 am to see this

Wait, I have actually played 2 IQ Melee before. It’s the exact same thing as a Melee minigame some people call “Bowser Tilt”, which is where you play Super Sudden Death Bowser dittos on FD and you can only walk/dash and ftilt. I think it’s even more fun than with Fox because everything is slightly more reactable. Also great video as usual, very cool to see an analysis on neutral because I think it is way, way less understood by the average Melee player than punish and defensive game, where there are a lot more “true answers”.

"It doesn't help that there's 26 different characters with different movesets" Me, an Ultimate player: (*Sweats profusely*)

great video!

This is fantastic work keep it up bro

Unironically an amazing video. Thanks a lot!

I feel like there is another massive level to the game that is pure, unexplored execution, specifically, ' missed execution options ' and punishes.

“Yes I did mess this up twice” LOL

this was super helpful to understand neutral in melee! thank you very much for this video.

Man when you explain it at a simple level it makes way more sense. I need to focus on the big picture instead of trying flowchart moves.

Just starting out. I’m pretty casual with just some experience against friends so it was nice to have a concise breakdown of this

Just watched this during Rollback Rumble fantastic video thank you

Instead of using 2 IQ melee, we could use the game Footsies, which entire point of the game is to teach this.

good stuff yo!

My first answer to the 2IQ melee flowchart kid was to preemptively hit them before they arrive into “within range” rather than dash back. Idk what this says about me as a player, but it does indeed also best the flowchart, as discussed later

i wish i watched this 10 years ago

i love simplification brain scenarios to understand parts of a game

great video dude

i like shielding

This is the most informative video on neutral I've ever seen, hell yeah

Super insightful video

So good. i love melee

sick video

Okay that's the last straw. Take mein sub.

ANOTHER VIDEO FOR THE AGES KEEP IT GOING LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE EXPAND THAT IQ

Calling smash bros a fighting game, actually explaining neutral And linking it to other actual fighting games. You madman! You’ll have both communities after you! You can’t tell them the TRUTH!!!

i wish this existed when i started playing fighters lol

Great video, you could make a video in the same style as rishi's video about decision making in smash. I think it would help new players tremendously

Waiiiiiiit why the turnip go through the stage ? 7:48

2 iq melee bracket when?

Are you eyes always that Asian or did it being 5:30 and you being super tired make them look more Asian than usual?!

Shouldn't baiting also be discussed as a tool of 2 IQ melee?
