Palu main here; I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to do the d-throw -> bair combo I see all the time in tournaments, and this video finally helped me do it! Still need to practice a bit more, but at least i know what I'm doing now.

[@zuyo6575]

Literally same heree

[@DaKlink47]

Glad I could help! At high percent you'll want to full hop the back air so you'll need to do a RAR from initial dash. I have a tutorial on that as well ;)

[@yankee1147]

I have literally been doing this the hard way. as in dash and quickly turn around, jump and back air. I did it the hard way and made it difficult for myself. And I could barely land them So all of yall suck it cause I did it the hard way. You guys and you attack cancels 😂 Video was super helpful by the way

at the 5 minute mark when you are describing the instant dash cancel back air... thingy, you say to hold the movement stick through the c stick cancel, how does this not result in a dash attack?

[@Majoralink100]

Ah, this makes so much easier to get short hop needles > bair haha 😅

[@markperez3532]

Hello, When doing the jab bait combo for Roy. Do you use the rar method or attack cancel method? Are there any situations that one would be better/easier?

[@DaKlink47]

Since both methods work it's probably best to just find out what you're more comfortable with. At high percent you might need a full hop bair though so that's when you would need to RAR.

Is there a way to do the RAR without using the jump control stick function? I have it turned off to prevent accidental jumping.

[@DaKlink47]

You don't need tap jump at all. All you need is a jump button that you can access quickly after using the c-stick

[@poultrydish]

@@DaKlink47 I see. I guess this is where a Gamecube controllers comes into play. I only have joycons and an off-brand pro controller. Thanks.

[@Black22doom]

When trying to do either of them I find I back air in the other direction a lot of the time. I use a hori pro controller. Anyone know why I might getting the Bair to go the wrong way?

[@DaKlink47]

It happens when you accidentally press jump before you flick the c-stick.

[@nathangalbraith9227]

I also use the hori and it works well for me with both of these, the RAR is very easy for me but I think only because I've been doing it a while, the attack cancel one seems tricky but I think with more practice it will also be easy. The hori is not the issue

[@MrFrisMich]

Its not really a tech but.. Can you explain the new 0-death of luigi to me? Or make a video? (downthrow backwards fair looking away from our opponent, nair backwards fair nair zair to the opponent up b)

Having trouble getting the instant back air consistently

[@Candlesmith]

You have to buffer all inputs to combo. So like RIGHT before the jab animation ends do exactly what he says in the one two three rhythm. When he said that, it was the EXACT rhythm that works for me

[@roy_mezz-awake2470]

Well, to get the Jab => B-air combo, I discovered that doing an initial dash then cancelling the lag via performing the F-tilt, then pressing L/R 1/2 frames later can make it miles easier. Or, you can mix-up by doing a Sliding F-tilt. For that, dash, then again but in the opposite direction, and finally, use the f-tilt in the direction you were initially dashing in! Below are the controls assuming the target is to your right: Jab => B-air combo: A, wait, ->, ), L/R, ->. Sliding F-tilt: ->, ). There's all the help I can offer. Keep in mind though, all inputs must be performed IMMEDIATELY. EDIT: I used a Nintendo Switch Pro controller, so it might be less effective with a GameCube Controller.

[@-topper-_8175]

Barry Owen The sliding F-tilt is actually a pretty good mix up, I learned it pretty early when I started playing competitive smash and it’s a great way to catch people jumping back to ledge when they think they are safe.

[@doomslayer8431]

[@bananadragonfromjupiter]

It’s a two frame window to cancel the tilt into a jump, holy shoot it’s hard

[@AcePachyderm]

getting better for those struggling your holding c stick too long at least that's what i did, it's not when the sword starts swinging it's on the moment he turns if that helps.

[@JustinWilsonIsPhenomenal]

Thanks for the instant b-air tip. I just tested Link, Joker, and Bowser, and it seems like you have to input jump + forward within 2 frames of the back tilt

[@frostman4152]

Super helpful dude, I was wondering how how the pros did it

[@Endershock1678]

That's why I swing the wrong way when I try to fair and drift backwards. Thank you.

[@roy_mezz-awake2470]

I have a recommendation for those who can't do the standard, as in you run towards the opponent, then RAR. You should do the dash, but instead of flicking the C-stick before jumping, turn in the opposite direction, use L/R to jump, then immediately flick the C-stick in your opponent's direction. EDIT: The inputs must be performed VERY quickly, I mean your fingers must look like they're mashing.

[@williamanglin1620]

[@Cerrmann]

Much better explanation of how to do attack canceling than other videos on the platform

[@Rave.-]

interesting because I considered this one of the worse ones I've seen... I'd likely be horrified by those others.

[@meganova1423]

you can actually do a RAR back air after the initial dash without doing an attack cancel, the only thing you need to do its forward then u tap the upper left corner of ur control stick and at the same time tap jump, now ur in the air, to do the back air u just tap forward and A or if u use the c stick just tap forward, at first its a bit trickier but if u practice and be patient it gets easier.This is just if ur facing right, but, if u want to do it in the other direction just do the same thing but reversed.

[@MagicMikko]

[@dqvid1634]

I have my own version of a doing a RAR however I have both of my back L buttons set to jump (L1, L2) and then do a quick ➡️⬅️ then press both jump buttons at the same time along with flicking the c stick to where your opponent is and you get a RAR

[@jermainetalaepa8463]

you can acheive the same result by pressing one jump button, if you press turn around and jump at the same time you keep your forward momentum while jumping backwards, if you press forward back on cstick you will get frame perfect rar's every time

[@PrinceTrexus]

I keep trying to do the instant back air but I always keep either doing forward air or backwards facing back airs

[@mountainfalcon6290]

You are doing the backwards facing back airs by pressing jump before you do c stick backairs. I also am inputting fair but idk why, but probably not jumping fast enough

Eyy Mega gut gemacht, den deutschen Akzent hört man auch raus lol. Mit Ryu kann man so den leichten F Tilt in einen RAR confirmen, wenn der Gegner nach innen DIet.

[@GodfreyEnjoyer1]

[@mitheww]

could be controller, but this is a really bad way to achieve it just learn manual instant rars

[@gregbuckner8506]

Start by practicing at half speed. Learn how long you have to cancel the tilt (i think its the 2 start up frames of a move, fast but very doable). Practice only moving without drifting, then incorporate drifting. Then, (if you play roy or chrom) add jab for a kill confirm

It's harder for me going to the left as well. But yeah like you said it is the exact opposite so just needs more practice.

[@TreebeardXIV]

I solved the issue, learn to only “half-press” the trigger while performing this technique. Beforehand I could ONLY get it consistently while facing the right side of the stage, and it would only work 50% of the time while facing to the left. However, after an hour of labbing I discovered that if you only press the trigger down halfway it work almost EVERY TIME, on both sides. 👍🏻

[@ekko_the_gekko7452]

Why do I randomly keep getting an Attack Cancel Forward Air?? Pls help!!!

You're pressing jump before flicking the c-stick or you're doing them simultaneously, so you're simply getting a fair. Try focusing on doing the c-stick flick first.
