I saw you at EVO man, you were so close to beating Elegant!

[@deo222]

indeed, he did amazing!

Is that match online?

@@yllus yeah, I can send a link if you want

[@ericdragoification]

Sad that he had to meet elegant too early F IN CHAT boys

[@ianp6994]

Am I watching the wrong video bc what I saw was banana boy got rinsed by elegant in the video I watched

[@ashycashy9763]

Just scream and throw your controller *It works everytime*

[@thecrazedpotatoman]

Wow it worked!!! One problem though. My controller split into three pieces. Is there a way to undo that, or is it a bug Nintendo will fix soon?

this is how you REALLY deal with platform preassure: play omega form

Every time BananaBoy uploads I'm like "Oh, right. Today is Monday."

But today is Tuesday.

[@Fenyll_Fur]

@@sergeydormin5281 he uploads on Mondays. Check the time I made this comment, and the time this video was uploaded. I have notification turned on for BananaBoy, so I get notified on most Mondays.

Summer does that to me. When school comes, it gonna be "frick it's Monday."

Your guides are so bite-sized and digestible! Before I thought I couldn't find a comprehensible guide to give my friends, but now I do. Keep it up!

[@JamesDarkos]

Bananaboy: The pika player then thought to himself (my internet cut out and video end) Me: Yeah seem accurate

[@nitrodyne676]

0:38 “Don’t worry fellow banana boy viewers....” he watches his own videos...?

[@stratoge]

Wait this isn't a Banana Boy video. There's no vocaloid outro! (Good video tho!)

[@urfork1]

yeah wtf who i this imposter

[@teresadavis8695]

Congrats on going so close vs Elegant, your guides are honestly amazing to watch, keep it up

[@bugliker1]

Thank you so much. I've wanted advise on this topic for so long.

[@Igneous01]

Something else that helps is to practice fast falling through the platform and doing a neutral air just before landing.

[@FreePokemonGiveaway]

Laughed pretty hard at “You can go for run off plat, jump back to plat run off for realzies”

[@paulnoell39]

Not gonna lie this is the first vid you have made, where I have already practiced the topic and understand it. Finally feel like I’m getting better.

[@styxonthesticks]

Sup! Been here since 400 subs and knew you’d blow up! Keep up the good work

[@yoyoguy1st]

I like the new outro more. Yarn yoshi is adorable

[@markbless419]

Another exceptional video. Thanks so much bro! Keep it up 😎

You are growing so fast man

[@zewitshe3608]

As someone who has the largest trouble alive fighting peeps on Battlefield stages, this’ll definitely be useful.

Tada?

your intro puts me in a great mood

[@yarakharam5343]

details like 4:00 make your videos really high quality mate I appreciate that.

Now I know I should spam back air (also) to platform pressure, as an inking main I’m thankful.

That clip at the end was Maister!!! Beautiful, I love him uwu

[@132melees]

No vocaloid outro song? There's no way this is a REAL BananaBoy video.

[@lindenbree9188]

That pikachu is a great example of how important knowing frame data can be. If not memorisation of the exact numbers, you at least have to know whose specific attacks are faster than whose. With 70+ characters, that is no easy task

[@calcifer4285]

thanks! very helpful.

[@tropikilla]

Good Monty Python reference, gonna sub now

[@juliantorres5138]

Banana boy is godlike

[@owencoopersfx]

I’ll need to watch this a few times... because I really hate getting platform trapped -.- and I play Game & Watch, who potentially can benefit a lot if you can gain the advantage with platforms.

[@cottonfreesocks7343]

Nice job at EVO!

[@kkboomgalban6942]

Good job b boy

[@chaosorbCRB]

Adorable outro

[@xiammwow6739]

Good stuff at evo man!

[@okthen1296]

My main and secondary can both jump really high, so in online battles I typically I just evade on the platforms, and after like 10-15 seconds of struggling to hit me, they will literally run opposite side of the stage and stand there to let me come down lmao

[@julianmister4217]

You and elegant was a battle i dreamed to see

[@rodgeers7347]

I miss shield dropping. It was the one thing I as a DK main in sm4sh would use as much as I could against fox up air spam

[@giantclaw138]

I know :'( I feel you

[@ethanbusse5723]

Rod Gee Rs I couldn’t shield drop consistently

[@cxd1]

Every time I watch his videos the more and more I realize this game is just making sure you don’t become predictable and making sure you mix up the options you have at your disposal.

[@InfernoCA]

Next video: How to deal with Elegant‘s Luigi :D Jk, you did great

[@lilbop1471]

love u bro

[@pkcryo]

Never really thought too hard about this now I'm like that's more complicated then what I thought

[@CraftOfSparta]

I saw you getting bodied by Elegant live, and i'm so sorry for you having to fight him so early!

[@FlappyCat-ef6oq]

Elegant was underseeded unfortunately, he only started showing that he's still a top player at LTC7. I'm honestly expecting him to be top 20 this season.

[@J_M_B12]

Also love your videos

[@enthymeme4856]

You're a BananaBoy viewer too? Cool!

In smash 4 I could easily drop through and do an areial if I wanted to, now I can't get even fall through sometimes

#Fantastic writing, Banana Boy yes I slowed it down and read it

I've been watching lots of your videos, and I notice you say meditation helps a lot. What kind of meditation do you do? With music? Laying down? etc.

[@gothtearz]

This is really my worst skill. Thanks for the help

I saw you playing at Evo against elegant and as a Luigi main I wasn't sure who to cheer for

Hey Banana Boy! Can we get some more Smash Fundies videos?

I didn't know vocaloid wasn't popular until I saw all the comments. Where is the vocaloid outro? You give me new vocaloid hits to jam to..!

[@TheYahshua1234]

What about using an aerial to auto cancel instead of the other 4 options ?

[@danielbenitez8616]

@BananaBoySSB when is the evo video coming???

[@bobjeezorham7658]

Thank you for making a video on this, I really needed the help. I hate playing on any stage with platforms because I'm so bad at dealing with platform pressure.

[@zain5368]

Can you do a video covering how tournament brackets work, or on stages?

[@spectre7877]

What do you mean like here's a bracket if you win you progress if you don't you drop into losers?

I love your videos, but I got one question... Where is that intto song from? If theres a full version, i really want to hear it!

how do I B-reverse? I'm having trouble with this, so if you can cover it (or already have) that would be cool

[@benjaminperez4570]

Lazy Canadian626 just press in the other direction as fast as possible after a special move

You should put the link for the landing video in the description tbh

[@thomasdove9456]

Can you show how to pick the right the stage for your charecter?

[@TheJewelMan]

3:00 Also try not to shield all the time against characters who have shield breakers, I.E Lucina, Bowser, Yoshi (on some occasions) etc

[@WillLittle123]

But what if the opponent is playing joker and uses drag down up air into up smash?

hey if you could analyze your set against Elegant that’d be great

Bro talk about Evo your genesis video was great

[@virtualgamer673]

Good job at EVO

[@schmidlo230]

Could you make a video to chasing

[@legosiw]

How would parrying come into play when youre bo a platform? Assuming youve practiced enough to manage a reliable parry often.

[@HeavyMetalLink05]

Imo if you parry their attack it usually just means a bit of a bigger window to escape, but in 90% of situations it still doesn't make it your turn. Jump away, or try to run off the platform, depending on the situation of course

[@WaInuts...]

Could you please put the songs you use in the description, on a more specified note what is the ending song?

[@tasium5296]

Guys I’m a wario main but I can’t connect waft set ups, any tips

[@csmash342]

Mr. Nord1c - go into training mode and practice at 2/3 the speed until you get it down

[@chrispo7610]

Well this helps with my matchup against fox

5:35 Ah you see, you underestimate my ability to not remember shit mid-match
