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.

appreciate it :)

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”.

@@DarwinDing It's amazing, Ultimate is just nuts. There are something like 3500 unique 1 v 1 matchups, maybe more now that there's DLC. Almost no 2 characters play alike either, at least IMHO...Fox and Falco are similar, and the FE echoes are obviously similar, but there's just no way to remember every matchup. Every single tournament you'll see matchups that you've never seen before at the high level.

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.

i had been planning on rerecording that part and then it got so late i was like eh fuck it captions are fine LOL im glad you got a kick out of it

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

hype 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

haha in some ways i would say whiff punishing is probably the only way you can realistically bait in 2 IQ melee, given that attacking is death, but i could have called that out more explicitly! honestly there is so much depth to even this barebones neutral thing that i had to cut out a lot so that this didnt become really tedious to watch
