The Zelda one is huge for her. The shield on the Phantom is completely invincible, so she can safely charge against projectiles like Wolf's Blaster, Link's everything, Pikachu Thunderjolts etc. This allows her to utilize the delayed Phantom whereas she couldn't before without being interrupted I think it makes her an amazing counter zoner. Camping her out via projectiles will be so difficult with this plus Din's Fire and Nayru's Love. Piercing projectiles will still give her trouble but those are a minority

[@jacobrael9872]

It also looks like it could stop aerials approaches which are one of zeldas biggest weaknesses, all she would really have to worry about is Robins thoron or another zeldas din's fire or farore's wind

[@rickster6755]

@@jacobrael9872 Yeah it can be helpful against aerials since she's farther behind it. It would also put the opponent in hitlag giving her a minor frame advantage Fun fact: it will even block Bouncing Fish and force Sheik to bounce off. Zelda can then (if she started the phantom early enough) punish her. Or, if she started charging really early, Fsmash her while she's in hitlag. It's pretty good here since regular phantom can be punished from mid range on reaction by Sheik's BF

I will continue to experiment with the other tech, but highly recommended! Thank you!

[@M1ch0aR]

Thank you so extremely much! I wasn't sure how to step up my game, but now I do! I was playing Sheik in Smash 4 and tried to learn and use all advanced techniques for her (she had so much crazy stuff...) And now I am finally able to play my favorite character Zelda in this game. I wasn't sure how to use the phantom in the neutral more safely, I knew about a technique that almost gets the phantom inside of Zelda, so she was a bit safe, but damn... Now I'm able to even switch positions with it!!! Thank you so much @MySmashCorner Keep making those great videos! Probably never missed a single one!

[@augustobs24]

Maybe a little add-on to the guide: Macro cancelling can also be used to cancel Pivot Tilts and do aggresive wavebounces (bouncing into the enemy). For the Pivot Tilt Cancelling, just start a run animation to one side, tilt the control stick to the other side to star a slide animation and then, at the same time, press special and the C-stick to whatever direction you want (or just special to start a neutral special). This CAN be done without changing the controls (mostly neutral and side special are easy to do without c-stick cancels), but doing it with C-stick seems to maximise your slide distance, direction of the move (using the upper and lower right and left notches to instantly reverse the special and also helps tremendously when trying to execute a sliding up-special or down special, since you only slide with the control stick and choose the special with the C-stick (all the Links are benefitted by this, for example). This can be great for both retreating with a grounded special or making sure your specials cover more ground than usual (like Link's or Bayo's UpB). The video also focuses on defensive wavebounces (meaning, bouncing away from the opponent). If you want to do the opposite, just run away from them, jump and the immediately press Control stick in the opposite direction you were running + Special + C-stick in the direction you were running. Again, this can be done with a runaway b-reverse, but the C-stick cancel starts the special way faster that doing it the normal way. This will probably be reposted in Smashboards, but I thought a lot of people will see this video first or don't have a Smashboards account.

[@leloupsmash2567]

Thought people should know before giving up on trying this Zelda Technique with a GCC, its actually pretty easy to have the knuckle of your thumb on the C-Stick and the tip on the B button. I had more trouble inputing the instant reverse Dair than pressing B at the end. So give it a shot!

[@legendofjustice4914]

This tech looks really cool. Great video showcasing it!

[@jamo1774]

Man, this is honestly game changing for some characters. I play sephiroth and being able to do a short hop wave bounce shadow flare in neutral is ridiculous. I use a gc controller, and idk if wired controllers don't have the extra should button, but the wireless one which is what I use does. I had both shoulders set to shield originally so I can angle my shield but I rarely use it. Also this is just so much more useful. So the change isn't an issue for me. I haven't quite mastered this 100% yet but am getting it pretty consistently. And it really is much easier and faster to do than a normal wave bounce. So glad I came across this video.

For the reverse down air: If you get a tilt: you pressed jump too slow If you get a forward air: you pressed jump before the c stick If you get a back air: you did not move the control stick downward fast enough If you get a down air with no momentum: you moved the control stick downward too fast (before jumping) If you get a forward down air with backward momentum: you hit the c stick and jump on the same frame For the B reverse down air: If you get no B move: you pressed B too late If you get Din's fire forward: You pressed jump before the c stick, or you pressed B too early If you get Din's fire backward: You didn't move the control stick down fast enough If you get Knight backward: You pressed B before the c stick If you get the neutral B: Work on rolling the control stick from right/left to down.

[@TheAdwers]

I was having this same problem at first. The way to get around it is to treat it like a RAR (Reverse Arial Rush) and hit the controls stick in the opposite direction from that which you’re running right before executing the jump, this way the b reversal works in your favor and you can perform the wave bounce.

[@SSJUnderDog]

Alex Mungo I always get a forward air when I do this

[@CodyBMcGuire]

For awhile I was just Reversing with Dark Samus trying to do the neutral bounce. Make sure holding the direction stick forward. On a pro controller I'm finding it difficult to get the c stick at a downward angle. But I'm starting to get it.

[@BigCowProductions]

I have help!!! Sorta! Lol I had literally the same exact issue for awhile today. On normal speed it would be a b-reverse, but when I went to 1/4 speed, I got it almost every time. I was wondering why this was only broken on 1x speed. Obviously this was my fault, but it seemed like it wasn't. Once I realized that, and my own finger-bias for button pressing, I figured it out. When you b-reverse instead of wave bounce, you are hitting the Special button like a SPLIT SECOND too late. Once I started tricking my brain to 'pressing special early', since my thumb is faster in general, it compensated the speed to make them more direct. So like you should be doing... Over, jump-special-c stick. But I was subconsciously doing Over, jump-c stick-special I think... lol. Once I realized there was timing issues with my button inputs, I went to 1/4 speed til I got it down pat, then to 1/2, then 2/3, then 1x, etc. But I can GUARANTEE you that your timing of how you press the button and c stick is off. Either you're like me and your thumb moves too quickly, or maybe it's your index finger. But I got it working and was 100% doing b-reversals at first instead of wave bounces. I hope this helps!

Yay I’m first

[@marcusgrijalva6183]

This video honestly couldn't have come out at a better time. I just started to practice wavebounces and this makes it so much easier. And I don't mind changing my gamecube controls to have this many options available

[@keykoji7134]

This is some very useful tech. I just subbed as a thank you

[@MidwayWuzzupman]

Anyone know if you can do the same thing for non-buffered neutral special as you could with side special? EDIT: You can do a down special wave bounce by doing something similar to the side special wavebounce, but do c-stick diagonal forward instead

[@stephaniecurry45]

This tech is unrealistic, normal way is way better

[@feral7225]

jesus that neutral b wavebounce is friggin impossible on pro controler

[@Zairemoore22]

thank you my smash center guy. you're my hero!

[@KrisSugga]

omg so much new stuff to learn !! Thanks !

Wait this could single handedly massively improve zeldas neutral viability that’s wild

This looks so cool!! I may be a beginner but I'm gonna use this!!

[@davidkim301]

Holy shit how do you always find some intricate and fleshed-out technique that’s realistic and has massive potential that no one other person on the entire internet has covered to the same detail, if at all. Amazing work.

[@MrFloshadow]

it's weird, i can do almost consistantly a neutral wavebounce in 2/3 speed and lower, but at x1 i do a turnaround instead every single time :(

[@SallowDawn]

SAME. Did you ever figure it out?

[@MrFloshadow]

@@SallowDawn I think i know why. I tested it a lot and i figured out something with my labbers friends : in short, the lower speed game isn't exactly the same for the cstick. I think it's a 3-frames in a direction plus one press of let's say A, in a normal case scenario buuuut in 2/3 or lower speed world, when you do like a c-stick ftilt it's 4 frames in the given direction, plus one press of A we tested it with mega man in the training stage to be sure of it, and we are pretty confident about it So it's not possible to do it on the ground like that

[@SallowDawn]

@@MrFloshadow Wow, that would make a lot of sense regarding this problem, and I think you're the first person to notice that. That's an excellent find by you, my friend.

[@MrFloshadow]

@@SallowDawn i'm not the first to say that the training mode is broken :p (and to be fair that was a team effort)

[@samuelmars731]

i keep getting b reverses instead

[@elektrikProStats]

same

[@IlanAs08]

What’s the difference ?

[@samuelmars731]

@@IlanAs08 b turnaround = changing direction your facing, not momentum b reversing = changing direction and momentum wavebouncing = changing momentum but not direction

[@IlanAs08]

Alright and what’s the goal of changing momentum ?

[@samuelmars731]

@@IlanAs08 movement mixups. the more options you have for movement in nuetral, the more diverse you can make your patterns. makes it hard for an opponent to read/punish you. you can bait with a jump in and then immediently back out and stuff like that i think it can be used in some combos too

[@Vecderg]

c-bouncing has been around for a while, i doubt it'll get patched

[@sajidnoob]

he wouldn't, it's similar to planking from other fighting games (e.g. street fighter series)

[@snitchbug]

that is gonna be hard w the way c stick inputs

[@dddmemaybe]

he would need his team to find a new way to code how the game interprets c-stick inputs and potentially add a ton of bugs in doing so. probably not going to happen.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

You're doing the lords work my friend. My first thought was "wow this really over complicates a fighting game." then I thought about other fighting games and how many quick inputs have to be done.

[@JustShova]

u do such a good job on these videos
