Me & the rest of the baysians trained eachother. However, I learned mostly from myself.

A habit I developed early on in my smash career, when I lost tournament matches (usually by a landslide), I'd ask the person I lost to how to beat them. Amazingly, a lot of people actually tell you how to beat them. It seemed counter-intuitive to give your weakness away and everything, but I find it both beneficial to the community AND to yourself to tell your weaknesses.

King taught me how to beat him, and I've told many people how to beat me.
Hahaha I actually agree with this, I always tell everyone how I beat them if they will ask (even sometimes when they don't). It's selfish for the game not to imo

adam i think what he meant was
after winning
you explain to the oppenent how they couldve beat you
not telling them what they lacked which allowed you to beat them
you've witheld info from me because you didn't want me to use it against you
but that was awhile ago i don't know if you do that now

i'm not good enough to know someone's style well enough to tell them what they could possibly do within the confines of that specific player's own style to beat me. i just tell them things that put them in the position to be easily punished. if lunin's good and smart enough to do the former, which he very well could be, more power to him

Actually, I do train myself. Surely I've gotten better from playing numerous people offline but no one has really ever "trained" me. I study videos and pro guides and practice with the sandbag.

Going to tournaments trained me.

Playing with my crewmates help me get to a level where I could place higher and benefit more from playing top players.
