Yeah I'm sorry but these videos absolutely destroy Zero's "tutorials" that are done on-stream and on-the-fly with whatever comes out of his head. THIS HERE is a real guide. It has an actual script, it's clean, simple, organized and edited very, very well. Props to you and your team, Izaw.

[@IzAwSmash]

Thank you!

[@NSFSponsor]

Well Zero is a top level competitor. He may not have the time to make a real guide like this. Note: I know Izaw competes but it seems more like a hobbyist deal. Its not his livelihood.

[@nousername191]

It really is. ZeRo is the better player, but Izaw is undeniably the better teacher with these videos.

[@TheGunFreak94]

@@NSFSponsor Such a stupid excuse. If he doesn't have the ability or time then don't make it. it can only make things worse or unclear. Ill never understand people who make excuses for other people. Such a sad thing

[@Schokosnuss]

Robert Why is it okay for someone to talk bad about ZeRo but it‘s sad if someone defends him? Both sides are out of place here.

[@intraum]

so cool to hear the basics explained from a pro, it really is like learning basic math from a professor, you get to know the right way to do things before you even have to use them (case in point, i always thought stale moves reset after using a different move, not after 9 moves)

[@art1637]

Ben Kennedy late, but I thought that stale moves dont reset until you lose a stock, so this was news to me lmao

[@IzAwSmash]

You can grab the ledge on the 30th frame following hitlag now. This was not the case when I checked on 13 Dec, so it must have been patched. We used to grab the ledge on the 54th frame following hitlag like in smash 4, so this is a huge difference.

I have been playing smash competitively for years but these videos are made so well that I watch them anyway!

[@perry686]

play melee instead

[@sludgebones]

Ultimate is very competitive too, and if you like melee than why are you watching this?

[@Vralde_]

So you’re already back. And with even more great tips! You’re still the best smash-tuber period!

[@stegoooo]

I CAN'T PHYSICALLY PROCESS DOING ALL THIS IN A MATCH Edit: OK everyone in the replies is right, it comes pretty easily the more you play

[@osaiha5913]

start out with learning one thing at a time. once you're comftrable with that, learn another one. keep doing that and eventually youll learn the ins and out of it and then you can start.

[@홍성현-h9c]

me too

[@LiIBrehBreh]

I legit came to the comments to complain this exact thing too LOL

[@namiotp]

Wandering most of this (if not all) are geared towards the competitive side of the game, if you want to play in locals or other tournaments, for example. If you just like playing with friends, it’s not necessary (unless you wanna stomp them lol). This all comes with practice, however. The more you play and make use of these abilities, the less you’ll focus on them and the more they’ll become second nature.

[@Evan-cr1wu]

Same I'm like hmmmm let's see what should I do?

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

And they say Smash is just a casual, ezpz party game. Yeah, ok, hold my beer.

[@nousername191]

That's the beauty of it. Easy to pick up and draw in casuals, deep enough for pros to enjoy for years.

[@thalison151]

Smash still is a party game, don't deny the game's roots just because it has mechanics Being a party game =/= It can't be played competitively Stop making a big deal out of it

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

@@thalison151 Noone was making a big deal out of it, read carefully what I wrote and feel silly.

HighLanderPony He's right, and you should feel silly because of the stupidity of this message and also feel ashamed because of your arrogance

[@BrokenKeyboard14]

I actually took notes: *Smash Bros. Ultimate Guide* (1 Stop JoyCon during dash to turn quickly. (2 Perfect shield allows any combo. Jump, Smash Attack, Grab, etc. (3 Shield when you land to preform a Tech. You can tech on the side of a stage. It can be used to survive a “spike” but cannot be done at high percentages. Holding down will decrease your knockback (making it easier to survive) and holding up will increase your knockback. (4 Air dodging and place dodging. Dodging in place counters a grab. (5 When launched up, move directly left or right. Down will not do anything. When launched horizontally, move towards the stage and try to line up with the corner of the radar (assuming you were launched far) Momentum cancel moves work well like Villager’s Pocket. Jumps also work. Air dodging is risky, but if you survive you’ll still have your double jump. (6 Knockback increases while charging smash attacks. Knockback decreases while crouching. (7 Moves become stale (less damage and knockback) the more you use them. (8 Ledge Trump = Grabbing ledge right after an opponent to force them off. Dash towards ledge, then half circle (upwards) to instantly ledge Trump. You can prevent being Ledge Trumped by buffering any action. (9 A Two Frame is when a character has 2 frames of vulnerability when first grabbing the ledge. You can do a fake out on some special moves by holding up then releasing at any time when trying to recover against a Ledge Trumper. This will make them grab the ledge first so that you can Trump them instead. (10 Reset: If your opponent doesn’t tech, you can go in to reset them by hitting them which will force them to roll, attack, or stand. You can only reset them twice. They will bounce, then you can start a combo or a quick smash attack. Or you can reset them twice and try to predict what they will do next (roll, attack, or stand) and punish them for that. (11 A Tomahawk Grab is preformed when you pressure your opponent with aggressive aerials to bring out their shield. After doing this a few times, you can instead jump and fast-fall to grab them while they’re shielding your fake aerial.

[@Trynottoblink]

I don't even play and I'm watching these because they give me a better grasp of what's going on in tournament matches. I've never found simpler and clearer explanations of tech than in this video series. Great work, man.

[@maxwellfranklin590]

Hey there, just wanted to say that your guides are very succinct and helped me a lot in getting a quick idea of how the game plays. I have to cover a Smash tournament tomorrow but have never played the game, and these videos gave me enough of an idea to not look like a total idiot when I'm interviewing players tomorrow. Thank you so much!

[@vjoe5389]

The ledge trump thing is going to be so helpful to me. Thx so much because I never new how to grab the ledge without going a little ways down the stage near the ledge. A dash then very fast half circle, got it. Anyways have a good day/night. Keep up the good work :)

[@majcespinosafamily7617]

I’ve played Smash casually for years and have been trying to play competitively for years. Thanks for the help

[@JediJess1]

Worth noting that there's now a limit to how many times you can grab the ledge. I think the limit's five. If you grab the ledge 5 times without getting hit or landing, your character will not grab a 6th time. I found this out the hard way playing as Kirby. Great work IzawSmash. You and the Beefy Smash Doods are the best resources to turn to for learning the game in more detail IMO.

[@AlEmeralds]

This editing is SO good! Thanks for the info as well! Will for sure keep this all in mind for when/if I get Ultimate soon! :D

[@Sinn0100]

It has been a very long time for me. I just got ultimate and man am I having trouble adjusting to Smash again. I love it and is one of the few Nintendo games I truly love. This game is so insanely complicated...I hope I can get back into it.

last time I checked, air dodge into the stage to live longer depends on the character and does work with most of them as a better option than double jumping

[@TheIceManSSB2001]

Would love to see a video on the mindset changes a smash 4 player has to make in order to excel in Ultimate; I'm in this position and am finding myself adhering to too many Smash 4 habits while playing (trying to jablock 3 times, staying on the ledge when edge guarding, spacing aerials instead of being aggressive, etc.) thanks for your vids!

[@keitaro3660]

as casual player, this game is sooo complex D: what i really need and love about this game is the 4-player-smash-with-pokeball-and-assist-trophies-chaos-fest, not 1-vs-1-no-item. but sadly there's no option to "only play IF there are 4 player ready" in online match (only "up to"). so sometimes the game FORCES you to go 1v1 battle which i don't really like...

[@sycoraz]

keitaro3660 really ? They fixed online for me, just changed your preferred options or go into arenas

[@keitaro3660]

@@sycoraz i prefer Quickplay than arena because more random oponnent and i have my preffered "items rule" (there's not many player in arena, maybe because my country's server). annyway in smash format preference there's only "up to 4 player", not exactly 4 player. so sometimes i only got 2 player ready, then the game just play without waiting the other player to join :( well maybe i'll try arena if i always get 1vs1 in quickplay

[@Craft2299]

Oh wow, ledge trumping. I gotta try that. Playing Zelda online is absolutely hard as all heck but just the potential for a Phantom is basically an option select for Ledge trumping. Get a phantom up in good timing, and then just go for a ledge trump. Either way, the opponent (Based on the phantom timing) will either be trumped or get hit (maybe killed) by the phantom.
