Hello IzawSmash,I’m using a handheld Joy-Con controller.what Controller do you recommend? 😊

[@filyboy7]

⁠@@MTH062K.Ogamecube controller or pro controller. definitely not joy-con!

[@wanderingrandomer]

Thanks for the tips on buffering and RAR. Half of the shit I see people do looks ridiculous, until someone explains the exact inputs and it makes so much more sense.

He speaks clearly, gives great knowledge, and uses great music. Good video 👍

You should do a video on bad habits in smash.

[@gbird.]

Spamming, using double jumps immediately

[@ol3tty]

ground dodging too frequently

[@gbird.]

Ollis Letellier oh yeah and that’s called rolling

Drizzee it’s been here before ultimate, you just had to want to be into it

[@Sam-sn8oy]

I’ve heard people complain that Smash is to simple compared to other fighting games. Yeah...

[@Ktoe13]

Sam I mean certain techs in other games are way more difficult to do

[@Eeeenrriqueeee]

It really is, just play any other fighting game and you’ll see

[@-Samus-Aran-]

Been playing since highschool and never knew any of this stuff

[@xAbsynthex]

So that's why I still get hit even when shielding. I never knew that, and that shit gets me so heated. Knowledge is power

[@geoterra9478]

Hold B while in shield and move the analog stick to move your shield around btw

[@xAbsynthex]

@@geoterra9478 he literally said that in the video lmao

[@themedic1137]

Or if you have two shield buttons you can hold both, then freely move your shield without dodging.

[@hyliandoctor]

Also, if you roll in any situation, you have a few frames of vulnerability before you're actually safe. So trying to roll out of blockstrings or rapid hits like Fox's drill, Ness' PK Fire, or Charizard/Bowser's fire breaths will cause you to take damage. Ultimate seems to focus more on shield pressure, sort of like Melee, but more emphasis on shields in general.

[@MadResetti]

sees the video..." I have to practice" ( one week later) 200 hours playing Smash and only 6 minutes through the video

[@Gang3rs]

wow 200 hours....and you are on this I'm still trying to get part 2 down

[@haugamertran645]

I'm played for more than 200 hours

[@derpderpson8796]

Tilt attack on c stick improved my gameplay about 80%. Thanks for that!

[@omaisho]

2:51 is such a good transition.

[@konniem.6709]

Editing is really on point in these videos

[@toast9734]

So, in every previous smash game, I dont like playing as Link. I just played Ultimate Link for the first time, and now I have an extra secondary

[@vipermoon_]

Short hop aerials do 15% less damage but NOT less knockback.

[@alosauras4648]

These guides have been extremely helpful. I was getting my ass kicked by level 5-7 computers for the first 40 hours I played until I finally watched this and found out that the right stick could be set to something other than smash attacks. I now feel so much more confident in my play style. Thank you so much.

[@konflicted1729]

You play online?

[@fiatlux805]

Almost a year later and these videos are still pure gold. Thank you Izaw! Also: 2:47 BRUH.

[@hivesteel]

Hey Izaw, awesome guide. I just want to point a small technicality: in part 3 and part 5, you say to instant dash attack by pressing control stick and c-stick together left or right. From this I'd interpret that you can input them on the same frame and get an instant dash attack, which is simply not true. It's easy to test that if you do this input on exactly the same frame, you get a tilt. I guess you can get away with saying this because a movement input on the control usually register before a c-stick input; a slight tilt on the control stick inputs movement, but slight tilt on the c-stick doesn't input a tilt. However, if you very very quickly smash both control and c-stick, you will get tilts consistently. So if people are misled by this video thinking you can control stick and c-stick at the SAME TIME to instant dash attach, as they improve and their inputs get quicker, they'll start messing up instant-dash attacks more. So it's important to point out you need to hold left or right at least one frame before your c-stick input.

[@Miracle-of-Faith]

Thanks Izaw. Some of these I never heard of before and they are all interesting. Better start practicing even more.

After watching this, I realized I’m doing a lot of these things regularly without even realizing what they were called. So thanks for the video to explain what I was actually doing in game

[@WildTonyAppears]

I'm only one minute into this video and already excited enough that I had to comment. Moving tilts to the c-stick is absolutely genius! I rarely utilise tilts just because I find it hard to have that kind of mastery of the control stick in pressure situations. Being able to access them more easily adds a crucial tool to my arsenal that I had neglected for too long, thank you so much!!

[@patrickbaker7014]

I still don’t understand the beginner guide, why am I here?

[@Gannon-k8s]

[@mondaiji679]

these videos are so helpful and well structured...thank you very much. I didnt play much smash 4 like 70-80h tops. I have around 60h in ultimate now and i feel like a much better player then in smash 4 (cause i actually win a few battles now)

[@darryljohnson3084]

You made me way better at this game explaining clearing and not dragging anything out thank you so much

[@rogergonzalez6701]

Just wanna thank you for helping me up my Link since so many years ago. Also, that C-stick thing is genius. I always found myself doing smashes instead of tilts on accident when I got too nervous

[@GetShmanged]

4:58 I wasn't ready for all this 😂

[@tobi_versace]

All this is great info! The best tip however is to not try to think of all this during a fight. You have to feel it. If you think too much you have already lost. You have to learn to feel everything.

[@usagirocks]

i love that you just get right to the point with the explanation- If i ever git gud ill be coming back to these videos to learn

[@kingarth0r]

I know you’re probably mostly done with the next episode but I think it would be cool if you could give tips about going to tournaments and how to practice for them. Also telling us some conventions for tournaments that people may not know if they are just getting into the tournament scene.

[@trox4106]

Go to the bananaboy KZbin channel

[@Quniverse]

These videos are so unbeliveably helpful. Youre the man.

[@gregw716]

Speaking as a beginner watching this video, you should definitely move the part about controls to the FIRST video. I've been playing for a few weeks now and I've been racking my brain the whole time trying to figure out how expert players achieve the precise control needed to differentiate between tilt attacks and smash attacks using the standard controls. Now I get it. Of course they can do it because no one USES the standard controls!

[@lloydaran]

11:59 it can and most likely will lead to nairs WITH momentum, as the window is inconsistent, as well as being prone to just getting a dash attack or the very tilt you input in the first place.

[@trox4106]

This video helped me the most out of all the other ones.All are great videos

[@drakath5727]

You can also tilt your shield easier now in Ultimate! Just hold special and rotate the stick to prevent rolling! This only works in Ultimate.

[@ShinyukenFighter]

Always recommend this mans series to veterans and newcomers alike!

[@k3l0gg24]

Speaking of controls, I switched to a Pro layout recently, put attack on rb, spec on lb, grab on zl, and left shield on zr, and put jump on b. Omg. with both digital inputs and the extra button, the control I have now is amazing. everything is easier, and the ability to do situational complex tech is actually within my reach.

[@TheHatmanTheHitokori]

Interested in 2 things: 1. The tilt cancel 0 momentum nairs for run up retreating/spaced nairs as Ike. 2. Figuring out the best buffer for doing downthrow > pivot bair true combos.. This input is really strict normally and I feel like somewhere in the last 3min a shortcut is described but it's currently whooshing over me

This boi Izaw is LITERALLY the goat for learning smash dude! SHEEEESH

[@javissr2619]

Ok first video from you and that's the sickest intro ever

[@nitrodyne676]

As a Luigi main, I have C-Stick set to smash attacks as most moves on Luigi’s shield can be punished with *up special* from about 50%.

[@justicetaylor2695]

It's especially good for Samus that instant dash attack was fixed to be a stick and c-stick combination. I'm also glad even Zer0 admits Samus was buffed. I'm killing with her fair much more often now. And every time I fight someone with less recovery then me, like Wolf, our disadvantage states seem very much lop sided where I bomb mix up fine and tank damage fine while they greatly fear multiple fairs sending them off stage to a bomb to up tilt killing edge gaurd or even charge shot killing edge gaurd on their vulnerable recovery.

[@MrPomegranX]

Only epic gamers can do this...

[@laggalot1012]

You can't normally walk past someone on the ground, but it should be noted that you *can* do so if the opponent is intangible. In other words, you can still run past someone who's spotdodging to, say, Pivot Grab them. Also, if you have two buttons assigned to shield, you can hold both of them to easily tilt your shield as well, as an alternative to holding shield and B.

[@DanielMartinez-nw1pn]

Well, after mastering what I've learned in the beginner and advanced videos, I'm finally here!! ... It's been a long two years but I managed :)

[@Osirun13]

Your videos are all excellent. I enjoy using them for the high school Smash Club I advise.

[@Slinth39436]

Thx Tilt contols helped me a ton.

[@halt1931]

Great video! You think you know a lot, but there's always going to be that one extra thing you didn't realize. For me, it was discovering the instant dash attack. Just as a bit of an add-on, you can also set your taunt buttons to shield to help you mash faster. Since taunts are disabled in online, there's no reason not to do this at least for an online control scheme.

[@Jackaljkljkl]

Knowing the range, active time and special rules of every opponents moves is critical. There is no point spending months learning this complex tech if you don't know that, for example, Byleth's Down B will break your shield in one hit, can change direction and has super armour. Play at least two hours ss every character in the game against the CPU to learn their moves and how to think like a player of that character - especially the DLC, who have some powerful moves that can destroy the unaware.

[@timbomb374]

There is so much tech that I never use dang. My fingers are not prepared for this. I'm gonna be in training practicing these for a while

[@autofire55555]

Would just like to say that the controls for any non-Gamecube controller already have Jump/Special handled, since Y is just as accessible as X, whether doing normal or special attacks.

[@phazerxp339]

Im most likely not gonna use any if these and remain the Cross spammer Simon main I am lol

[@corobo3544]

Something that I heard ZeRo mention is you can set your d-pad to shield to let you mash out of stuff faster and easier. Useful, you can't taunt online anyway.

[@HappySoDuh]

Not sure if I should listen to the tutorial or listen to that smooth voice to slowly fall asleep lmao

[@thomasshepard7891]

I just want to point out that not every tilt ban be pivot cancelled. It's character specific.

pretty sure you can it's just not noticeable with some characters

@@thomasshepard7891 ah i thought you meant with some characters at all, pretty sure f-tilt works with everyone

[@Aivo382]

In most of cases is better the tilt for the pivot cancel, and smash attacks aren't good in the most cases too, but in a little cases smashes are good in pivot cancel, only depend the character (for example luigi has a great forward smash pivot cancel)

[@Jarofclams]

Thomas Shepard the reason some of the moves do not pivot cancel is because they remove all momentum from the character when used, case and point, marth’s d-tilt

okay love guide really helpful but til attack control change to the stick should have been in the very first video it helped me so much thank you

[@kfourit]

Great video. Only problem is about the dash dance. The video shows two ways of making dash dance. The first one is correct. The second one, however, is a fox trot, not a dash dance. Everyone seems to mistake this

[@rubenbon6647]

Perfect guide, keep it up!

[@griffynbellah9415]

But why did they remove the 45 degree nair? I loved that!

[@hypersonicxx]

I do like the idea that changing your c stick to "tilt attack", but the problem is that not only does it make the controls feel weird but I can't really attack when I do, in other words after i do a tilt attack i get stuck in place for a bit and it doesn't feel really ok

[@haklbarry2]

So how long do u need to be a normal player if u don't have alot of k owledge? 6months to know the basics? I played league for so long and i dont enjoy anymore and battlerite sadly has no players. I loved watching smash for 2 years now but never wanted to get into it because it looks sooooo hard to learn but i finally want to go for it. Thanks for the answers :)

[@gravitysmash7253]

haklbarry2 depends on how fast you want to play good. playing consistently and consciously for a couple hours a day and you’ll learn quick.

[@MildPinguino]

haklbarry2 If u play almost daily it will take you from around a month to 3 months. I have played all of the smash games but when a new one is released it takes some time to get used to the changes in that particular game for everyone.

[@ThedHomie]

What about the joycon controls instead of the GameCube controller

[@NISHIAKI]

Ultimately, they function the same. It's just button layout.

[@johnhelmes8261]

here we go!

[@aeresys]

2:50 That looks like melee Marths regular grab :P

[@AnekinRed]

Btw for mashing set d pad to shield and you can't taught online so just mash the d pad

[@ElTestok]

Wait what!? Wave dash is back in Ultimate??

[@MishKoz]

Yes, but it's not nearly as useful because of the fact that you suffer a lot of landing lag when airdodging into the ground. So while it does exist, there's not much of a point in learning how to do it.

[@denyed8088]

Great information, but something that bothers me slightly is the reverse C stick in the animations lol

[@itsdav7472]

There are so many people that use controllers for Smash games, but here I am still using the Wii remote & the joy cons. It's unfortunate since there are hardly any good training videos that use those as their basis, & knowing how the internet is like, it'll probably never happen.
