Watching content before actually doing it?

[Imapooonu]

If someone is giving an explanation, then most likely he did the work of studying for the fight. If you go into fights needing a 5-10 minute explanation every time, then it's the same as watching a vid except you're making someone else do all the work. Which is what these " I WANT TO LEARN TEH FIGHT!!" players are doing.

Or they are passing on their knowledge gained from experience or the explanations they got when they were new.

I can explain Ultima hm, and watched 30 seconds of a vid before going in. It's not hard to type and give a decent explanation, and it doesn't take 10 minutes either.

And I hardly call giving an explanation to someone work.

Depends on the individual, some players need every little step explained to them.

Garuda
Eye of the storm
Eruptions
Ifrit and plumes
3 sets of bombs
lasers
If tank switch on 3 stacks
etc

You have to do it in a way so it doesn't overload their brains while trying to explain enough to where they won't be a dead weight. But Ultima is a forgiving fight unlike the high level primals.

It comes down to my success rate of getting out of the early phases with new players .0001 percent while I may not win with the group that knows the fight but at least I get good attempts in.

Isn't that exactly what the videos are for?

Who said they're not?

No one. I just think it's more convenient for everyone to use what's already there.

I like having new people in DF groups. Tell them the wrong thing and watch them die. Then sit and laugh at their dead bodies until you too die to the boss

No seriously, I really do like having new people in. Feels fresh.
