Just wanted to add my input as one of those "beginning" players, that I really think that this will help me understand, appreciate, and incorporate the best players vids into my game.

So a kudos to you for best guide I've read today.

Do you have suggestions for a better title? I'm totally open to changing it.

I'll even give the person who suggests the best one credit for it. :laugh:

Learning to watch.
I was torn between the that and what I ended up with. I want people to do both - learn how to watch videos properly and learn from watching them.

Maybe Learning to Watch and Watching to Learn? It seems too long that way.

Edit: OP has been updated with suggestions given thus far. Keep 'em coming!

Now this is a guide recommended for those who cabt get up to "tourney level" of gameplay. I used to auto-pilot my *** off. Nowadays i look at most of the things mentioned in this guide. Especially spacing. Thanx for the thread nana.

Everybody didn't do this already? I guess if your just starting this could help. The resources guide for beginners was good though when I first started It was hard learning the lingo and I was always confused.

Glad to hear the resources for beginners came out well. The idea was for this to help those who are trying to improve, so it sounds like it's serving its purpose.

Nanaki, i love you.

this thread is too much win.
<3 Thanks!

That is an incredible first post.
I don't know how I didn't see this for about 2 weeks. Thanks much!

I'd like suggestions for things to add: critiques on videos used, suggestions for more examples, possibly some sections that need revamping or sections to be added, etc. I'd like to make this a real resource for up-and-coming players.

So, keep those suggestions coming!
