Yes banjo guide omg I love this guy best main

[@nightcrawlr1035]

@Luis Kashton miss me with that scam shit I’m just tryna learn how to do Gu-huh shit

[@jracer876]

I love playing as banjo as a fan of the games and he feels silly yet satisfying to use. This guide just opened my eyes to more options. Thanks so much

[@warex5271]

This is a good guide, but I think you could’ve gone into more depth with breegul blaster since it has way more uses then just getting people into platforms. It’s actually one of banjos best combo starters and has some tech that can get it to set up a kill confirm with smash attacks, fair, or wonderwing. But I guess that could be a whole separate guide 😅. Good video Bae.

[@theblackbasketball]

Breegull blaster into up tilt is a kill confirm

[@warex5271]

TheBlackBasketball yus

[@joshuadavis8265]

Overall a solid guide. As a banjo main I think you missed a huge opportunity showcasing the versatility of Bregal blaster. Juggle combos, uptilt confirm, and turnaround cancel just to name a few. Regardless, pretty solid guide.

[@theblackbasketball]

@@joshuadavis8265 Banjo is such a cool character and is really fun to play. Too bad people just camp and spam with him online.

[@joshuadavis8265]

@@theblackbasketball haha no joke. On the bright side it conditions people to have 0 clue how to deal with an aggressive tech savvy banjo. Easy wins :)

[@thehypist2587]

This Banjo Guide is really useful, and as someone who plays him often I’m glad you made this. I love using him and always look forward to improving with the bear and bird, great work!

[@ALonelyStone]

This video is incredibly helpful and well put together. Thank you for providing explanations with examples. I will be coming back to this video periodically in an effort to improve my gameplay. Thank you again

[@JamJockey]

Yessss. Still can’t believe I have privilege of playing these two in a good smash game. Love the quality of this video man. The slow zooms around the frozen fight scene is such a cool idea!

[@jbandrew]

This was fantastically made. Great job!!!

[@solidgamer6160]

This is an incredible guide, best banjo one I’ve seen bar none. Thank you so much for this. You have earned my sub

[@itachi428123]

I didn't know you've been taking Banjo this seriously! Really informative and in-depth guide, thanks man

[@qwerty1271780]

Awesome in depth guide! Thanks a bunch!

[@RivalTreecko]

nice vid, just found this series and am loving every second! can't wait to see more if you decide to make 'em!

[@Bee-N64]

Thank you so much man, this is the guide that got me from 7m to Elite with Banjo. Serious dedication went into it, great work Music choices are fuckin' stellar too

[@TrapzPlayz]

Thanks, Notbae! This is perfect! A few days ago I bought Banjo & Kazooie, this will help me a lot!

[@domthebeast6423]

Just got banjo today and started maining him, love him so far and this video really helped and explained him like no other

[@kevinarmes9804]

Let’s goooo! I like seeing this type of video. I love Mewtwo but I think it has the potential for more views when you branch out to other characters for guides.

[@pascalthedog8451]

Banjo is my main and I'm pretty good with him but this helped me out with more of the fundamentals which I struggle with thanks for the video!

[@amifunny90]

Best guide to get started with Banjo so far

[@retoschlatter5461]

yo this video was amazing, banjo can be such a cool character with all his traps and setups. hopefully you make a video casually playing banjo with live commentary sometime. also i think a video in this style about pacman would be amazing from you. keep up the good work ✌️

[@prestononuselogu9973]

Banjo is kinda bad

[@el_danimal5028]

Really well done. Thanks!

[@extragaps6112]

I main banjo and this really helped thanks so much! Great work! Subbed! 😀👍

[@sephy595]

Thank you for the guide! I'm thinking of getting into Smash Ultimate and really hope I'll like Banjo!

[@plainkapp]

Amazing vid dude seriously!!

[@brandoncornish5544]

This was EXCELLENT. I really hope you branch out to other characters... this type of quality content is sorely needed. Please consider doing one for Mega Man

[@shinrade1291]

Very informative and high quality video! Your voice is nice to listen to haha

[@phy_]

Woah I was NOT expecting this !

[@Yoshinator]

Very solid. You got my sub.

[@SteelTiamat]

This style of guide comes very close to Izaw's Art of series. Amazing work.

[@oOBlindyOo]

this was awesome!

[@jorgeabaezp9365]

Yo! NotBae gives izaw a run for his money. The ganon guid was superb and this one is no exception! Nicely done, Not Bae!

[@UnexpectedGamer7]

17:20 NotBae: "Quite frankly, [the grenade] is Banjo's most important tool to master, as it'll be your main tool in all major game states." Villager/Isabelle: "I'm gonna end this bear's whole career."

[@theblackbasketball]

Lmao remember that one stream where everyone was arguing about whether or not Banjo is lame or not?

[@myballshurt616]

Yes, is lame. The hype tier list has caused me great pain

[@FDE_Doom_Girl]

I always main Lucas and recently co maining Banjo/Kazooie as they're really good at controlling most opponents. Love the arrials too, they can catch opponents when least expected, so as long as you dont telegraph your moves which is basically a must if you wanna win with any character.

[@Branbonks]

How are there barely any views you explain very well!

[@fruitlion8]

I'm determined to master this dopey bear's moves, and while I'm not too bright, I hope this guide goes a way to fixing that :)

[@meepasaurus-rex3480]

Just wanted to say that I Ioved the video

[@digitalunity]

At long last, an in depth guide to my main.

[@nathatkd]

Thank you

[@maze3086]

you can also jump and down b (b reverse) in a specific timing so you shift momentum, so you jump backwards one way and then down b momentum shift so you have now thrown out the egg in the direction you were facing when jump backwards and you also move in the same direction as the egg although jumping the other way and you can z catch if done correctly. its a very good mi-xup but I am still learning to do it consistently

[@Greatdragon999]

As a banjo main, I think this is a great in depth guide to get started. I don't think banjo is super good. But he is decent. He has a lot of tricks if you are willing to put the time into him. I'm way more aggressive, I don't use neutral b too often except in specific situations, I rely more on grenade setups. Like for example, I would shoot the grenade towards the opponent, as it approaches opponent so do I. I either go for grabs, ftilt, or fair since they are decent return moves. And if they roll past the grenade I can ftilt them into it around 30, and then combo into wonder wing or fair. It's very strong, but it's hard to always be aware of your opponent. Nonetheless that's how I play, and I'ma start using dtilt more, had no idea it could be such a great 2 frame option. I just don't like it in neutral too often because of the slight lag it has vs ftilt. Thanks

[@prestononuselogu9973]

Banjo is decent and causes too much work

[@ChaosSigil]

I want to make an addition to the up throw. There is combo potential. Up throw, grenegg and then whatever combo you want. I like, Up throw, grenegg, nair, then (front) side air. You have to time the grenegg. You up throw and wait to get them as they come down.

[@mattjones343]

At low percentage backtrow does combo into side-special, doing a considerable amount of damage in the process

[@ramenanimations7592]

Is anyone gonna talk about that jigglypuff t bagging and losing seconds after lol

[@nightcrawlr1035]

Banjo: You get what you fucking deserve, Gu-Huh

[@ernietime2229]

Is it wrong that I think Banjo's moveset could've been better? I mean I love Banjo and I'm glad he's in Smash, but it feels like there could've been much more to be done with them... Either way, great video

[@musicman5255]

Yeah, but how better could they do? I'm thinking use of flight pads.

[@ernietime2229]

@@musicman5255 so you know that old fanmade Banjo-Kazooie sm4sh moveset? Basically that but swap a few moves around

[@maze3086]

you can also hit opponents hanging on the ledge with fair but the timing is very precise

[@johnpaulbouchard5705]

Goodness that Pichu clip

[@mrffejman]

These remixes

[@heresthadude1080]

B-K seem to have at least two options that can be used to finish the opponent's last stock offstage if B-K have a stock advantage, e.g. dair, side B

[@MikeydactylGaming]

This is amazing! Finally getting around to picking him up. I realize he's mid-tier at best, but he's fun and I'm just happy he's in the game.

[@odin4068]

I don’t know about mid-tier at best I would say he’s very high tier at best and low high tier on average

[@ChristochatBTW]

Came to this video to try and pick up some knowledge, apparently I'm already playing Banjo right :l

[@888CODfan]

This is it 👍

[@888CODfan]

Nvm u missed the blaster combo

[@erictennison4673]

You know for how long the community wanted to see this rare duo in smash. It’s really just sad to see he’s only viewed as an obnoxious projectile spammer character that only thrives online.

[@loganwramp307]

Are you a Banjo secondary NotBae? If not thats ok, thank you for the guide, also, I would love to challenge you one day

[@ThatNerd_Tre]

I hope smash will add Conker from "Conker's Bad Fur Day". I think it would be pretty cool to see him in action again.

[@Enigmaculate]

@Tre, Me and you both. Banjo-Kazooie being in Super Smash Bros Ultimate and in the series period has broken barriers that was seen as impossible to break. They're also the best characters in the game, regardless of what anyone else says otherwise, and Conker being in the game would be icing on the cake.

[@Jiromite]

Low tilt is called beak barge by the way

[@dahuterschuter]

I find BK tough to use because my gameplan is pretty much just to nickel and dime my opponent up to like 150% then find a counter-hit Wonder Wing. Playing from behind becomes nearly impossible.

[@aatu.laitinen]

Wanna do one for Joker?

[@KuddlyKung]

Yall think banjo and Kazooie is coming to switch?

[@mouminx]

I sent you a DM on twitter a few days ago! Nice video btw :D

[@nubbyderg]

That Jigglypuff deserved it, teabagging like that

[@TrevTheGinger]

it’s all fun and games until villager steals my grenade

[@nickdansie7386]

What's up with the true and not true things in the right corner

[@ALonelyStone]

"True combo." Just in case you aren't aware, if two moves hit the opponent before they can act out of it, it means it's a "true combo." When it says "Not true" that just means the opponent can move out of the combo, even if the timing is tight. Hope this shed some light! Maybe check out Esam's Pikachu if you haven't already, thats a good example of a combo character

[@theastonishinggamer1358]

My friend is really cocky and this is how I will beat him once and for all
