10 Baits You Can Use Today - Smash Ultimate

[@BlueMoonZerc]

#10 worked like a charm. I was fighting someone in Elite Smash and once I bobbed my head, they fell for the bait easily.

Headbopping will win Evo.

LMAO Luigi agrees!!

[@gdsynergy]

“It just works”

[@hiphops8082]

Headbops aren't just baits. They're combo extenders and multipliers. They cancel your landing lag, and give you frame 1 invincibility. Head bops are broken

[@janswhatsupdoc]

do it too much tho and they really will be broken irl

[@kittengold9814]

Only thing more broken than headbops is headpats UwU

You can headbob like you're actually winning and make everyone thinks you're actually winning. This could actually anger the opponent into a mistake.

[@janehuskmann1914]

How often do you get a comments of the following palindrome? "Yo, Banana Boy!"

[@omnomgamer8633]

As a yoshi player I use passing over the shield quite a bit, it can also be useful to do it with down air in a situation that can lead to a shield poke because down air can set up tech situations and if it doesn't poke landing on the other side buys you a little extra time which can be very helpful against slower characters. I also like fastfalling nair so that I land far enough away from a grab, the nair won't hit but can bait an out of shield option.

Bro the BYU roast was epic. I’m even Mormon and that was the most epic roast I’ve ever heard.

[@RoboSparkle]

#9 is so useful. I met a fellow R.O.B. Player at a live tourney who liked to spotdodge into down Smash (which is a nice option, I use that now), but he used it all the time and never got punished for it. So I got hit by it a couple of times in our ditto and punished it the only time it mattered, to close a final stock. It was particularly sweet because he was definitely the better player, but seeing that habit and waiting to punish it was basically a free stock for me that I could claim at my leisure.

Great video, very applicable stuff. I’ve actually been had by my opponent baiting me with a head bop before lol

[@hueycotton]

Bonus tip: If you get buried by a move and every time you mash out your opponent hits you, you can start faking like you're about to mash and just abrubtly stop. The opponent will expect you to pop out and preemptively try to attack. You'll stay buried in the ground safely. It's a mixup at best but holy hell it's funny when it works. Also, I'm gonna try that head bob thing lmao Genius

[@thundervaart]

On a slightly serious note to the head bop: I kinda felt the rhythm there. It makes sense it's like this conditioning yourself in to actively remembering the blank in the rhythm of the fight. Like imagine the "Ba-Dum--Tss" beat. The first two represent the combo to get your opponent offstage. Then the head bop for the blank, because you don't want to just spam, and then the finale. Weird metaphor, but works for me
