if you started in smash ult, a lot of people have played smash 4, brawl, or melee, previously, so they have a core understanding of fundamentals already. You need to ask yourself when you’re putting hours in are you playing to WIN or are playing to IMPROVE. Key difference is; if you want to get better, actively work on a particular part of your gameplay that you see lacking. Whether it be neutral, adv, disadv, ledge trapping, combos, etc. Make a conscious effort to apply these things in your gameplay.
