This is actually a solid guide. As the game does continue to see many players, it’s important that newcomers have a place to begin

I love that melee still thrives. These new netplay pandemic players are cracked.

There are many people like me who want to play melee better with their friends but don't know where to go. Thanks for compiling it into one video! The timestamps are very clutch

@@aking1591 yea this is a huge difference between the two. It adds a significant timing aspect to the game which make it feel more interesting in the same way skateboarding or learning guitar does imo

Appreciate this guide. Theres a couple things here that I actually didnt know about, even being into competitive Melee for as long as I have. I don't necessarily feel the desire to learn how to do all the advanced stuff, but it does motivate me a little more to know better how. I just love playing the game regardless, the competition, and the communities🥰

This is a fantastic guide. Many people assume you know a lot about melee since the scene is so old and the depth so extreme and rich for gameplay. Really hope you make more informative content because I did not know this stuff coming from ultimate and I love your videos too!

Super valuable resource. Might need to add this to BlippiGG.

I've been playing the game since launch and dip in and out of playing competitive Melee on a casual level, and I was blown away with how outdated some of my knowledge was and just how good the tools we have to practice with. Great video!

thank u! love to hear that

Thank you so much I’ve been wanting to play melee for a long time because of how much i enjoyed your videos. Now that you’ve finally made the tutorial, I can now have a shot at playing the game and learn how to play the game and hopefully become as good as you. Thank you ludvix, you have no idea how much this tutorial means to me.

12:40 light shielding can also be done by holding z after doing an action w/ endlag, so it's not limited to analog however, you can't freely control the shield's size the way you can with an analog, so if you're using keyboard you'll only either be doing maximum (hardshield) or minimum (lightshields)

This guide is gonna be real helpful. Thank you Ludvix homie! Gonna use this when I have time.

Reminds me of when I was starting out and found Wak107's "Advanced How To Play" videos. Very well done Ludvix. Keep the spark alive for the next generation.

Is this the real Luvdix with real informative content? This is an immediate watch.

Ive been playing since 2016 and I still enjoyed this video. Knew everything but its good to have this great vid for when your friends come around.

been playing for 2 decades (fug im old) but man it's good to revisit and consider the fundies again thank you! great video!

It's an actual guide pog

This is my push to get into Slippi. Thank you!

Was looking for something like this a while ago. One video that goes over the basics, so you know what you need to look up further. Also the only video I've seen that actually defines neutral and punish game as well as edge guarding :D

What a Nice thought at the end of the video it felt so nice to hear those words because you notice when someone tells you something that came from his heart

Man, seeing a new guide for new players of this great game 20+ years after its release is so... idk, heartwarming.

This is an amazing guide! For new players: L-Cancel is an essential technique, but it has a lockout function. In other words, if you mash L/R as you are about to land, the game will only allow the first inputted L/R button press rather than allowing all presses within a certain time frame. This applies to teching as well, so you’ll hear “tech lockout” sometimes because someone tried to input L-Cancel, got hit immediately, tried to tech, but because of inputting for L-Cancel will always fail to tech if this entire interaction happens within a certain amount of frames. TL;DR Melee will punish you for mashing L/R to L-Cancel and tech so try to get used to pressing the shield button once rather than mashing it.

@Ludvix

Жыл бұрын

Correction: L-cancel does not have a lockout function actually. And ontop of that, tech / break fall lockout is 20 frames and only applies if u full press L or R down fully (Hard pressing) . So if u want to L-cancel without being in tech lockout u can actually soft press L or R, or use Z, in fact u can spam those and it won’t tech lock u out. Yet it still applies multiple L-cancel inputs (which last 7 frames long). Very nuiance and kina complicated, didn’t wanna go into it for a beginner guide but if anyone reads this here’s the info. Edit: more about the lockout of tech thing. When u hard press L or R. The game does a 40 frame counter. The first 20 frames, if u hit the stage within that first 20 frames, u do a successful tech. If u did not hit the stage in those first 20, The next 20 frames u are locked out and cannot tech anything.

Great guide, thx so much for explaining analog triggers for me because i had them turned off but will definetly bind them for the light sheild!!!

Not the typical content, but incredibly good for new players!

I just got my first PC a couple days ago and wanted to get back into Melee this guide is super helpful thanks my guy

Thanks so much for this guide. I've loved this game since I was a kid and recently got into watching it competitively. I'd love to be able to play it to some semblance of a high level but just have to get started. This helped me with understanding a lot of interactions I've seen a lot better.

This is the video I’ve been looking for! Great job and ty!

These 3 week old comments were made by wizards

Really nice guide! i just started playing Melee and couldn't find anything, so thanks a lot!

I've been a competitive player for a while so I didn't learn anything, but I love the game so much it was still fun to watch lol. A while back I was actually looking for a super basic movement tutorial I could use to explain to someone the very basics of movement in Melee, and to my surprise I couldn't find anything. This is perfect.

This is an amazing resource for new players! The only issue I have is that you didnt clarify smash vs tilt inputs, specifically you never talked about using the left stick for smash attacks. Accidentally smashing or tap jumping is a super common mistake when new players try to do tilts, and its really frustrating if you don't understand what youre doing wrong. Also for shield dropping you only want to go to the corner notch not a full quarter circle

Best video for new players I've seen

The controller on the top is super useful, tysm

solid video, good work

How on earth did i simply have the thought about looking up a beginner's guide and this popped up.

I love you ludvix, thanks for this guide, this will infiltrate many of my DMs

Cool video! Personally, I feel like there are certain things that should have been discussed earlier, and certain things that weren't gone over at all. DI is a very basic technique and is almost instinctual - It definitely shouldn't be one of the last things discussed. It could've also been mentioned that DI has to be inputted while you're getting hit or pre-emptively and DI doesn't affect you while you're already being launched. Some of the more difficult techniques - Ledge Dash, Shield Dropping, Edge Cancelling seem haphazardly spread throughout the video with no indication of the fact that they are more difficult than the rest of the techniques (with the exception of stating a good ledgedash is hard) Probably should have warned about overuse of rolls and airdodges No mention of slight-up to prevent tap jumping while up-tilting iirc No boost grabbing Warning against maining multiple characters Some other stuff probably IN GENERAL, I feel like advanced techniques are better conveyed in documents or dedicated videos. I personally am making a google doc that covers a bunch of important techniques and a separate document that helps with choosing your main. Regardless, this is definitely a helpful guide for new players.

respectfully watching so i can respect professional gameplay more :3

appreciate this video i dont plan on playing again but this is good content :)

I literally just made a Slippi account, so this is excellent!!

This is why I love Melee. The fandom tho it may be biased in what’s their fav in the series (brawl is superior btw) they are willing to let other people join the fandom and even teach them how to get good.

nice

A good guide, marred only slightly by having DI after so much more advanced stuff, imo. I think dash dancing, wave dashing, SHFFLing, and DI should be the first four things a beginner should learn, in that order (or swap DI and SHFFLing if they're learning a more grounded character like Sheik or Marth).

To anyone who wants to learn how to shield drop, don't do the quarter circle down after you shield cause that is hard and you will often roll or sidestep. Hold left or right, then shield, then roll the stick quarter circle down from there and it will automatically shield drop.
