Hey Smash 4 players!

You probably know me either from my Melee tutorials from back in the day, my shenanigans during the Brawl era, or my more recently Smash 4 videos going over the history of our ruleset decisions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whAmI2HdBqw and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQH_LUdkfkY )... that Praxis got all the karma for <3.

I'm currently working on a video that is going to go over how to counter some custom moves and tactics that people seem to be struggling with. Once that's done, I want to make more!

But I'll need your help, because what is interesting to me isn't necessarily interesting to you guys.

What do you want to see more videos of?

Underrated characters? Untapped potential and a hint at what the future will hold? How to run a tournament? How to foster a smash community within your area? Character tutorials? Joke videos? Combo videos? Overview of stages not being used that potentially could be? Interviews with top players? How to improve at Smash? How to let Smash work for you in the "real world"? Analysis of games?

Let me know what you want, whether it's from the above list or something totally different. Depending on the subject, videos could be very simple (audio + image stills) or more complex (video clips, proper editing), but I hope to create as many as possible before my life becomes busy again.

While I'm here, you guys should check out FC Return: https://www.facebook.com/events/795820207174947/https://smash.gg/tournament/fc-smash-15xr-return

It's a big Smash 4 tournament that will feature Zero, Armada, Hbox, Leffen, I forget all the names. But it'll be neat to watch. If you can travel, you should go there and meet me!

We'll be doing some especially neat things with Smash 4....

Underrated characters would be nice. Some like the Mii Gunner, Metaknight or G&W really need some lightspot, like many other characters. You could put this with character tutorials, with the help of well known mains of underrated characters.

Combo videos on a specific theme could be nice. Nowadays, we either see combos on one character or funny montages. Combo videos on types of characters could be really interresting. It could show off underrated and well known characters. As an example, making a montage on all the italians of the game that would show off Mario, Luigi and Doc (and maybe Wario). It could inspire lots of people, as well as being entertaining.

That's all I have to say. Good luck pal' !

What about characters living under their Brawl stigma still? Characters who aren't considered much because they were bad in Brawl, or characters who are considered trash because they aren't as good as they were in Brawl or play quite differently.

oohhhhh that's a good one


Seriously, that's an excellent approach to a video. It covers both unused and underused characters and has a cool catch to it.

Glad to hear it. Thank the people from the Character Competitive Impressions thread for bringing that up in the past (I think it was @Ffamran before?)

Stage Analysis would be very benefical to most people. A lot of people just gentlemen to Smashville and don't know the inner workings of Castle Siege and Defilno. This would also help clear up misconceptions about stage blast zones such as ZeRo stating that Smashville has a lower ceiling than FD.

TL&DR
Stage Analysis would be great.

Seconding this, although my bias/interest is perhaps obvious.

Sorry for pushing my political agenda, but education is important, and stages tend to be one of the most overly stigmatized areas of competitive smash.

Skyloft is legal where I live.



If you want other stages to be used though, it's imperative that you go to tournaments and help advertise tournaments that use these stages.

FC Return (https://www.facebook.com/events/795820207174947/) on July 4 has Skyloft legal -- spread that around, register for it and attend if you can, help promote the event.

Otherwise you can expect those kinds of things to die out even if the majority want them.

Honestly I look forward to whatever videos you put out in the future, your previous ones are great and the suggestions in this thread both by yourself and others all seem pretty good to me.

Man I wish I lived in Narnia

I'll make sure to watch. Can't say I'm tournament goer, but I do want to help if I can.

Do one on mah boy Falco.
He's a very underrated character in this game, and he's been swept under the rug for far too long.
He's still got solid options between his bair, fair, and tilts. Also, he's probably got some of the best edgeguarding tools in the game.
