[@justinnelson4530]

I've been playing nothing but Ganondorf for the last month. Learned a lot from it, and I actually like him as a character. he seem slow at first till you start the snowball, and he hits like a titanium train carrying an adamantium tank.

@@justinnelson4530 he's really fun. And honestly carries the game for me. Probably wouldn't be playing the game still if not for Ganondorf. I recommend following MGKGanondorf on KZbin and Twitch. Very sophisticated "Dorf Only" tips, tricks, and matchup pointers from the king of Dorf knowledge

Panic pressing jump as it reclaims control over your character. Humans have a hard time yielding control.

[@ti2218]

Great advice especially for people who feel like there is no way to break a combo. There are like 8 different ways to end an enemy combo. Block, dodge (with 3 different directions) jump and air dodge (many different directions), attack with something faster, use a move with longer range, run away and immediately come back to punish a missed attack, grab before they attack (risky but flashy as hell and gives you a combo if they're low percent, potential kill if they're high percent), use a move you know super armors through them (risky, only use if you KNOW they're going to attack), jump away and don't be predictable, you gotta make sure they're always guessing. If they punish you in the same way for an action you make more than once, don't make that action again, you gotta switch it up. Usually that happens when you're being too aggressive.

[@SuFoYa]

Dabuz is always in big brain mode

[@Anonymous-mx8sh]

In general a good idea for breaking habits is mindfulness practice, and then applying the things you learn to gameplay

[@Blood-Kain]

I do panic double jump at times, but I’m more like panic dodging in the air.

[@vinyl.c0dz]

Had to show this to my eSports friends who are beginner to competitve level. Thank you!

[@ketchumall8243]

Me, a Puff main: What do you mean I'm dead if I lose my double jump? I have 4 more. Also me cause I'm a Puff main: *dies at 70%*

[@ItzTally]

dabuz is very good at knowing WHY he's good, which top players often struggle with, making them bad teachers in certain cases.

[@legoguy04]

I can confirm this is REQUIRED to main Mac. Jumping is a mix up, not a habit when you play him.

[@DarkXream]

[@ScheffCity]

Bro insane free coaching from one of the best. Dabuz 🤩🥰

[@sprth-bc2ne]

Coaxing a different option and then punishing that too.... Savage lol

[@Dexwin09]

You break the habit by hitting yourself every time you do it or ask someone to punch you every time you do.

[@topemeister3000]

Which is what he said: ‘replace it with something else.’

[@AzureKnight7]

One thing I did that kind of helped me break out of nervous habits in Smash Bros (or just fighting games in general) was teach myself a "defensive fighting playstyle." I went into training mode in King of Fighters XIV and set the CPU to hard difficulty and would make myself stay in a defensive playstyle while dealing with the added pressure. I picked moves and picked maneuvers to help me handle pressure and get out of tight situations. That training actually helped me a lot in various different game I play, including Smash Bros.

[@samgomez9942]

As someone who doesn't consider himself good at smash, but has been playing for a few years, I'm happy to say I ditched this habit quite a while ago. My fingers are more focused on inputting a special or a dodge when I'm off stage.

[@andysanchez203]

I think another good habit would be to wait ur opponent's option and act accordingly

[@Ducksaregreat]

This is an amazing video. I instantly got better at recovering. I’ve been saving my jump and it’s extremely helpful!

[@RED_XLR]

Your other habit, doing a normal get up and not mixing your get up options. 😆

[@CipherKnighto]

Another thing is if you’re on a gamecube controller or something of relative comfort just turn tap jump off and map it to a shoulder button it helps

[@spiritbaki108]

[@yordvandamme]

I was waiting for the explanation about how you can only remove a habit by replacing it and there it came! Great job Dabuz :D

[@raven-a]

You gotta get used to air dogging after the first jump to get back to the ground, I think, ofc that can also be read, the important part is to mix up

[@maxiwawa]

holy this is exactly the channel i needed to improve

[@Oophello-ve7tm]

Lol I learned this after practicing with Bayonetta, like I have to force myself to remember that I can use double jump to mix-up😆

[@viscrelia]

This was the worst habit I had, especially as a Cloud main. It all started once someone I was playing with told me I need to stop recovering high, then later someone else told me I should stop burning my double jump. Now I mix up my recovery with blade beam and cross slash and get edge guarded a lot less 😊

[@IamNster]

"Thank you." *proceeds to send student to the shadow realm*

Hes telling us these things so he can beat us easier by calling out our low recoveries

[@sofia64790]

wow im surprised how splatoon music ended up here

[@stonethemason12]

The worst habit is counter spam imo. I have it like a disease. But if I see other people countering at random times it encourages me to be much more patient...you get wins watching for it. I've gotten tons of wins as little mac waiting for someone to counter when coming back to the stage. And there I am just waiting with my smash attacc.

[@BrokenG-String]

Nairo gets away with it all the time especially from ledge against online goonies

[@dagoodboy6424]

My worst habit is somtimes i forget to move and i get hit n die. I freeze up* Im like uh what do i do *get destroyed*

[@lyretxx134]

Certainly a personal issue of mine. Working to fix it

[@d.s.alcoda]

You can farm 90% of online players by just preemptively swinging at their double jump. I like to joke "dead at zero" as soon as I get a grab on a Ganon or cloud anywhere near ledge. F throw, fair the double jump, easy edgeguard. Even if they don't jump, there's usually basically zero risk to cover it, and the reward is a stock at any percent.

[@TheNadroj10]

I can’t stand you edge guarding mfs. We cant use Ganondorf online in peace

[@d.s.alcoda]

@@TheNadroj10 don't jump when you get hit 11head :]

[@kenamada5451]

Double jumping out of hitstun is like a universal habit that almost everyone who plays this game goes through for some reason.

[@shaderu3402]

Because it seems like an appealing option. Especially on Quickplay where everyone’s just throwing out shorthop aerials or fishing for grabs

[@vietdragon5174]

did he say thank you for stopping the nervous double jump or for walking straight into a charged smash attack?

[@TheWarofArt27]

I’ve found the best way to break a habit is to get punished for it enough times.

[@averagegaming3900]

should've countered at the end

[@Neosxmarduk]

I play Ness, so my double jump is super valuable. I can't afford to panic jump. I also have to hold onto it as long as possible, to mixup my recovery options. A predictable Ness is a dead Ness.

[@LT1]

Recovery is so easy in that game though, it's much worse if you do it in older smash games.

[@selassieaspen9940]

I don't have this habit but I have another.

[@JKamron-1]

One step at a time

[@WhimsicalLittledawg]

This probably also happens with Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. Since I main all three.

[@GabrielHodge]

[@Chaotix1010]

why did he watch that man charge f-smash and still get punished by it??

[@knox7945]

My worst habbit is always air dodging cause of Smash 4. I still have that bad tendency

[@jonnyc3905]

I'd like to mention that lots of TOP PLAYERS panic double jump back to ledge sometimes, so don't beat yourselves up for it. Just do as Dabuz says here and either save your jump and just up b to ledge, or use your jump much lower below the ledge to stall and then up b. Be careful about the second option tho, as there are many moves that can hit you out of your recovery and you'll be left offstage without a jump 👍

[@eltoro_ttv]

As a Sora main, Sora's double jumps are best left for when you're almost in the blast zone. Double jump, up special, then side B your way to recovery.

[@swordsmancs]

I always grapple to ledge (toon link/Byleth main) which throws off so many long-range edge guards lmao

[@pyrge1]

Holy shit sooooo helpful. I just started playing a week ago 👍

[@omnomgamer8633]

Play a character with high reliance on the double jump for recovery then you will know the importance.

[@mcknightmareb4u494]

I main Incineroar, so if I'm ever in a situation where I can double jump after a hit, I almost always go for Revenge. A directional air dodge is also useful for not wasting my doublr jump.

[@Feller06]

Meanwhile characters with around 5 jumps just chilling

[@jeffreysherman8224]

Not a bad habit that _everyone_ has. It's something I notice a lot, but I've been playing Smash for 20 years and that's one of the first things you learn. Do NOT use your double jump as soon as you get hit. That's an easy way to lose a stock at a ridiculously low percent.
