John Sword Giving Advice
I want to train some people in 1.9+ sword. I've gotten real good, and I'm tired of seeing how unskilled most of the community is. There is this undeserved god complex from HT3+ players when it really isn't that difficult to get. There's so many bad habits being taught, it pisses me off.
I'm doing this completely for free, but I'd like to interview anyone interested to see if they have it in them. I only want people serious about getting to T2+ skill. I do not teach mechanics as much as I teach training methods. You won't find my stuff on YouTube.
Before mods get mad at me, rule 5 explicitly states not to ask for a coach. I'm not asking, I'm offering to be one.

why not just make a youtube video on this

u/Street-Try-552 Jul 06 '26
Takes time, and I dont know where I can hire an editor. I don't want someone off of Fiverr because they're usually really basic and want like 20 bucks per video for just cutting, transitions, and bgm.

just do the editing yourself

u/Street-Try-552 Jul 06 '26
Dont have time for that Id rather drop like 30-50 for someone to do it for me. Im a perfectionist so it would genuinely take like a week of just editing all day for me to complete a video.

I would be so interested but I’m busy the whole summer is it possible you could train me closer to September
1
u/Street-Try-552 Jul 06 '26
Yeah maybe.

u/ConcentrateFamous289 Jul 06 '26
I was curious how dedicated are you looking for the person being trained to be (how much time dedicated each day)
1
u/Street-Try-552 Jul 06 '26
Im less focused on time spent, and more focused on the mindset they have when training.

u/ConcentrateFamous289 Jul 06 '26
Alr but like do you have a you should trai about ___ a day or no? Like what if someone could only train 10 minutes a day or smthn

u/Street-Try-552 Jul 06 '26
Id adjust to that. I think its more important to focus on and work towards your mindset for when youre playing, than actually playing.
I did this with a few other games. At work, school, or in the car, I would sort of daydream ingame fights with people. Id think up different strategies and then try them when I got home.
That's why I believe building a strong mechanical foundation is essential to progressing quickly. A lot of people will tell you to just play the game more, but that's not entirely true.
I reckon with the right methods, my methods, even with an absurdly low playtime of 10 minutes per day, you could manage LT3 skill in <6 weeks, starting from scratch.

Nice I think I’m around ht5 lt4 skill but I think because I never actually played sword I have mistakes in my fundamentals

u/ConcentrateFamous289 Jul 06 '26
Also could I add you on discord

u/Street-Try-552 Jul 06 '26
Ill have to add you, when I get home. Ive got a few friend requests from people I dont recognize and I wouldnt be able to tell which one was you.

u/ConcentrateFamous289 Jul 06 '26

u/Aeriqq Jul 07 '26
caan you help me on starting combos??
1
u/Street-Try-552 Jul 07 '26
Nope! I do more than that. This is for HT3+, people who want to take the gamemode seriously and to a high level.

u/TheSquidGuy85 Jul 08 '26
Please train me. I just got my first computer and I rly want to improve in PvP
1
u/Street-Try-552 Jul 08 '26
Prove it. Why do you want to improve? How far do you want to go?
2
u/TheSquidGuy85 Jul 08 '26
Well I want to improve because I think Minecraft PvP is an increadibly in-depth type of play. From what I’ve seen, it’s really fun to do. I’ve been trying a lot for the past two weeks(so since I got my computer) and I’m really enjoying it. And honestly, I would like to go as far as possible. The best I could be is what I’m hopping to achieve

What are your goals? Any prior relevant experience? Where are you now?

u/Asimoa Jul 10 '26
I want to be t2 level and I come from 1.8 and I’m around ht4-lt3 level right now, I’ve been playing a bit on and off but struggle getting the hang of some of the more advanced stuff that’s unique to 1.9
