[@DiverseStyle]

Right on time , I was looking to get back into my Joker groove ... great work man

[@CozyyPR]

DiverseStyle thank u sir! :)

[@jonwryy]

Very groovy joker time

[@jackal8215]

[@brubble5457]

These videos have helped me so much! I've been maining joker since december, and I swear I learn something new from your videos every time no matter how many times I replay them. I'm over here like "You can turn around full hop bair off down throw whaaaat???" Keep up the good work, you help a lot

[@CozyyPR]

thank u for the kind words and support! im happy to help :)

[@olivermejia6277]

Ur voice is so chill conbined with with the music makes it so understandable I love your videos so much

[@p0part299]

These are so high quality thx for the help

[@CozyyPR]

thank u! glad u enjoyed :)

[@vendetta8449]

This video was actually very informative and actually gave a GOOD neutral guide. Iḿ thinking of picking up this character so this helped a lot.

[@CozyyPR]

thank u for the kind words! glad u enjoyed the video :D

[@firestone1026]

bro, the video is very nice and helpfull, but the edition, damn, unbelievably amazing

[@CozyyPR]

thank u so much for the kind words and support! glad u enjoyed 🙌🏽

[@lonix7349]

this is really useful until now I really didn't know what all the stages like neutral was, Thanks!

[@CozyyPR]

thanks for watching! :) i'm probably going to make a video like this one but on advantage stage and another one on disadvantage! maybe an edgeguarding and ledgetrapping guide too

[@julian5535]

This was very helpful, ive labbed all these combos but i had no clue how to approach and use them xD

[@CozyyPR]

Julian Travels thanks for the kind words! glad to know u enjoyed and found it useful :)

[@jackal8215]

never heard of you but for the past couple days ive been playing more joker than usual and came across this video, i felt like i had to let you know that the work you put into your videos really pays off, you go in detail for every little thing you can think of to help and i really envy your work ethic, keep up the great work man, you got people counting on you to make quality videos and now im one of those people :)

[@jackal8215]

It’s also so amazing that you like and reply to your comments even on old videos. You’re so dope man, it shows that you care a lot for your community. Like you actually care about our progress in playing smash and want us to improve. Most people making guides for smash do it for views and money but its clear that your main priority is just being a nice human and helping as many people as you can. I’m definitely glad I found this channel, you’re a dope guy.

[@CozyyPR]

man thank u so much for the kind words and support! i honestly just want to see people improve and have a good time 😁

[@deathgrinn001]

For recently a switch and got the game. I used to play it on the GameCube although I was never good. Thanks for the video

[@SsaiyanDorge]

What a guide, love all the different showings of it happening as the opponent is moving too, so many guides which are just against standing cpu in training and they miss the combo they are going for like 7 times anyway

[@CozyyPR]

lol ikrr! thx for the positive feedback :)

[@kairo75xd13]

"you dont wanna just run in there all aggressive " oohhh no wonder i always lose🤣 naw fr solid video!!

[@CozyyPR]

lmaoo appreciate that brother 🙌🏽

[@timdawarmachine]

Its great to see video’s like this that will help me DESTROY my opponents with joker. Keep em coming! :)

[@CozyyPR]

Mr Tim Man yessir thank u for the feedback! any other joker specific things u would like to see covered?

[@timdawarmachine]

Maybe how to play joker in doubles! Arsene’s nerf does not apply to doubles. Or maybe good secondairy ‘s for joker or for who joker is a good secondairy. Or maybe some matchups we struggle with

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

Never saw this channel before and I avoid these type of videos like the plague, but this really earns your channel name xD, joker is the only dlc(or any) character I use(honestly if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have got ultimate, the 2 season passes and the main roster are just bonuses to me lol)

[@CozyyPR]

thanks for the kind words and support! hope this helped you 😁

[@JasperWWWW]

These videos are fire 🔥. boutta get elite smash with joker from all these techs

[@CozyyPR]

Jasper Wu ayee keep grinding bro! thanks for the support! :)

[@chippyosu]

Really nice video, keep it up! subbed

[@CozyyPR]

thank u so much!

[@jacobreynolds3917]

The only issue I have with playing joker at times is that he has really high highs but also really low-lows. When playing against people who don’t know what they are even doing, I can’t predict what they are going to be doing, and thus punish them as joker is a bait-punish character. Contrarily, whenever I run into good players with basic fundamentals, I find myself being way more successful. My GSP unfortunately often will fluctuate from near 12 million all the way down to 10 million depending on how the day is. I think that this stems from the fact that joker doesn’t have a move to the affect of link’s nair that has answers for a large majority of options. You have to be creative, and precise with the way you play joker, and unfortunately lag and cheese doesn’t care about your GSP.

[@mr.j410]

Bro how do u deal with swordfighters that spam jump and attack like they some geeked out frog

[@CozyyPR]

well if u know they will jump u can anti air them and catch them before they land/get the move out! or you might also be able to punish their aerial landing depending on positioning and such 🙌🏽

[@Gomajor7]

This video’s really helpful! This might be a dumb question but is there a trick to getting fair after bulletstorm like in 6:35? The only way I can get it is by switching to a claw grip and pressing B at nearly the same time as the double jump, and even then I’m not very consistent at it

[@CozyyPR]

Gomajor7 yea you just have to do it at the peak of your double jump, immediately bullet storm when at the highest point possible, and by buffering any option while coming down with guns, it’ll stop right before hitting the ground allowing you to get certain moves out like fair, bair, airdodge and counter! hope this helps :)

[@Gomajor7]

TooCozy it does help. I just need to practice. Thanks a ton man!

[@loopy699]

How do you do the move at 00:28?? i know its a back air, but if you throw him foward (to the left in the situation) wouldnt you have to be looking right to bair him off to the left? how did you just throw him left and back air twice to the left

[@CozyyPR]

i attack canceled! you can also RAR (reverse aerial rush) look at my video on “Controller Setups” cuz i go in detail of what this actually is and how to do it cuz theres some slight differences between attack canceling, and RARing

[@loopy699]

TooCozy thanks for the reply! i dont see the video on controller setups though

[@CozyyPR]

[@pentagonyx]

I understand the concept, but how do you input a Grappling Hook Cancel? I can never do it... Do you just have to quickly re input Up B?

[@CozyyPR]

i have a video on it! check it out and leave a comment there if u still have questions! 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnmuq3Zqj7abarc

[@XLonelyUselessOrbitX]

How do you turn around so quickly at 00:03

[@CozyyPR]

Large fellow Joe an attack cancel! ima have a video on that soon explaining it more in depth but in simple terms you input a tilt on the opposite direction you’re facing, then quickly cancel it into a jump and pull out a backair as quickly as possible! this is easier by setting one of your triggers (L or R) to jump, so you can jump and pull out an aerial on the exact same frame

[@GhizaSimp]

Nice guide cozy, can you cover how to space with joker, I find most of the times when i RAR Back Air I end up in my opponent's face and I almost always get a grab, I know there might be simjlar videos around but you can go more in depth with Joker's back air spacing and also how to perfect it. For example I have no idea if it's something you lab or understand with experience, that's why I'd like to know from you!

[@CozyyPR]

spacing is more-so a game specific fundamental. it’s something that comes with time and practice, go into training and figure out how far u can possibly space Joker’s back air, then practice getting that range consistently! you can also micro-space your jumps by very quickly and lightly tapping the analog stick to either side, it’s very hard to notice you move (hence micro) but this will greatly help u! let me know if this helps, or any other questions too :)

[@GhizaSimp]

@@CozyyPR thank you for your quick response, you are an amazing source of material for someone who is learning joker! Hope you'll have success on KZbin

[@CozyyPR]

you’re welcome! a big thing too is that you typically want to start jumping when you’re out of range of your opponent, so that your aerial (back air) will only come out as soon as you get in range! this will not only make your jump safer since you’re out of range, but will make your aerial safer since you’ll be pretty much out of shield grab range. and jumping from afar can help u react to what ur opponent does while you’re jumping :) hope this helps!

[@prospectrose]

Nice vid, though I think you shoulda mentioned eigeon a bit in depth

[@CozyyPR]

Prospect true that! theres some uses to eigeon but i havent found enough to make a video on it, care to share some and maybe i can get started on a video specifically to Side B :D

[@prospectrose]

@@CozyyPR for sure dude, do u have a discord?

[@dlinsanity]

how do you do the instant b-air? do you just run forward back then bair very quickly?

[@matlee9832]

How do I land more first hit of forward air in neutral? Is it more something you just use for reads on ur opponent?

[@Jeremy.co74]

Do u have any ideas for what joker can do when a character lands with a move, spotdodges, then inputs another move e.g. being Dk lands with bair spotdodges then uptilts

[@CozyyPR]

if u know they’re gonna spotdodge cancel, u can simply just wait it out by holding shield, dash away to outspace the move, spotdodge yourself (after their spotdodge, GIMR literally posted a video of this a few weeks ago), or counter. in general if u know they will do a move this is what u should do

[@Jeremy.co74]

@@CozyyPR thanks a lot for responding so quickly, all your joker videos have helped me to become a much more competent player. Keep it up!👍🏼

[@chibimoon1432]

I'm kinda scared rn! I want to go online and get some experience playing joker, but I feel like I won't know what to do!😅 I'm in training mode practicing approach options and basic combos, but I'm just nervous I'm gonna get cheesed online.

[@CozyyPR]

well u gotta take into consideration the input delay and the fact that you’re playing and actual thinking opponent and just to your best and have fun! 🙌🏽

[@chibimoon1432]

@@CozyyPR Here's an update! Today I was able to meet up with a good joker player and was able to tell me about the basics of joker, yknow since I want to get started with him. After only a few hours of playing him I already feel comfortable with his moves and can even punish people's options now! I'm by no means a pro but I'm happy making progress!

[@xxvolcomxx56]

Short hop first hit fair is what I think he meant

not sure where that is in the video but i probably meant that 🤦🏽‍♂️😅 sorry bout that lol

Thx

[@DuckWhenIBust]

Is there a certain trick to doing drag downs? I have been trying for months but still cant

[@CozyyPR]

CorruptMuppet01 you want to make sure you delay the upair slightly and not have it come out immediately after a jump, because if you delay it, the last hit won’t have a chance to come out (which is the hit that sends the opponent up). so you really want to hit your opponent with the first 2 or 3 hits of falling upair which will leave them with enough hitstun to where you can follow up with another grab or whatever appropriate punish you can get! a lot of people have asked me this, i dont really find it that hard, but i could make a video simply about upair dragdowns if people are interested! thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback! :)

[@DuckWhenIBust]

@@CozyyPR Thank you! I havent heard that advice anywhere else

[@CozyyPR]

CorruptMuppet01 you can also go to training mode and put it in slow motion (1/2 or 1/4) and practice the timing like that since its easier. and once u get the timing down, put it in regular speed! good luck, you can do this! 💪🏽

[@DuckWhenIBust]

@@CozyyPR Your right!👌

[@anlunxu8234]

How to do dthrow into bair instantly? I couldn't turn around that fast

[@CozyyPR]

check out my video about Controller Layouts! there i explain how I do that, it’s called attack canceling and theres also another method called RAR (reverse aerial rush), that video should hopefully help u!

[@anlunxu8234]

TooCozy thanks, your contents are really good!

[@flyguynoaholdksa5461]

Is that drag down up/down/forward smash true?

[@CozyyPR]

upsmash and downsmash is true, however i dont think fsmash is true unless they’re put in tumble/tech situation and they don’t tech.
