Glad to have you as the community manager. More basic guides please :)

What a goat! I needed this 😂

[@omarianderson4008]

I find the tip that you know "your doing IAD Right if you still moving forward" so simple yet extremely helpful thank you king.

[@F_r_o_s_t_]

Thanks for this, been wondering how people do specific combos, this was really helpful 🙏

very good explanation on footsies / dash dancing and why it's important

I’ll be sure to come back to this great guide 🤩

Dodge jump feels useless. It gets no real use anymore for the resource. We’re all just jump fast falling now. The dodge doesn’t seem worth it anymore speed or resource wise

[@travisleabeck2572]

Forgot about the boost jump because of the meter resource change on the dodge

[@blackg3gaming]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Like it’s cool to do, but seems useless for most games 😅

thanks alot…i felt very uncomfortable using the right stick to attack but i realized i can use both and use the right stick when i needed to do something special like an IAD

[@craigjoe8691]

Thank you for making this. I just picked up the game and its so fast paced that its hard to learn on the go. Wish they could add a feature to make it a little slower. Great video, learned a lot.

[@mykellederickpalad7883]

The game has been considerably slowed down from the beta. Any slower than this then we'd have a clunky mess of a game.

[@Aphectz]

do you use dpad or analog stick?

[@amekgomo5250]

The growth I've had on my first week has been huge thanks to all this

Thx this was very helpful

[@kassidystrain2323]

Those movement techs just made the game way more fun

[@Ztrotex]

Was there a moment where you move fast (horizontally and maybe falling) when you dodge in the air? (and not like strictly due to the speed and distance of the dodge animation)

[@drummerofawe]

Really hope they add options for unlimited resources (dash meter, cds, etc) in training lab, would make practicing tech like this so much easier

[@MrDavidPhoenix]

Still a little pain, but pressing the touch pad (not sure on Xbox) resets the cds and meter in the lab

[@chariotrequiem5465]

@@MrDavidPhoenix it also gives you about an entire second or two of loading which makes it hard to use a lot without wasting time

[@ShadowTaiga]

starts with everyone knows about this mechanic. Bro the game literally doesn't explain any of the complicated mechanics. no idea you could boost jump till now.

[@sicklywickly]

techs like that are usually never in any game, it's to reward better players who either find out or look into it and then find out. not saying it should be the standard, i'm saying that is *unfortunately* the standard. personally i'd love it if more games would either update or add little tech tips like these though, it makes everyone's life easier.

[@JitterBoltTTV]

​@@sicklywicklythe point is you'd have to look for it, this man makes it seem obvious when really he should explain this shit better. I was lost because he assumed we had a decent understanding of something I'm trying to learn

[@JitterBoltTTV]

This is suppose to be a "master the basics" but the very first tip sounded like "go into roll and jump" I'm beyond lost

[@quintissaviengvong2371]

Outstanding 🔥

[@Juan.The.Great1999]

Some feedback: when your demonstrating moves or controls can you show the controller with the inputs happening as you press them, also explain like what ur key binds are and what they do

[@alyssonalsfut]

Any advice for shorts hops? In beta was easy, but now i m not able to do. I'm playing on PC with a PS4 controller

[@Rocco_lifts]

Thanks so much bro, everyone kept yapping about boost jumps and I just felt like a dumbass

[@Gaemfreak]

For anyone coming into this game from other fights and doesn't speak Smash brainrot, "lag" is recovery. They didn't teach the correct term at the daycare for some reason.

[@robbrickz]

You have a new subscriber

[@vinsonchen4121]

Could someone type out the inputs and timing for inputs for instant aerials?

[@DanikaTrinidad]

They should really add Lola bunny to the game, I would have a heart attack if they ever did

[@travisleabeck2572]

Some perks that affect the meter or resources would be nice. Also bring back free perk for projectiles as well has more shared perks. Brought a lot more expression to the game than people realize. I miss the old dodge system because the skill ceiling felt higher as far as movement is concerned.

[@TubTakesDub]

Rolling is the only thing I’ve not understood, or at least been able to do myself 😅

[@Quietsatori]

This is a question for keyboard users (taboo I know) is IDA possible? I am trying but I guess it isn't.

[@JeEhaO]

Man, I really loved this game in beta but I had to scrap one controller after the beta because it became unresponsible because of how Taz movements grinded some pins, I am a Taz main because he is fun.. My controller was a Hori Fighter Commander and it was REALLY GOOD when it worked but the internals was all plastic parts that grinded towards each other. Do you have any recommendation for a controller that can be used without having the internals grinding to shreds within a few weeks?

[@Apsp999]

Hall effect controllers.

how do you roll off platform. dodge off?

[@UnlimitedBick]

rolling is an arya specific move specifically, down+attack while grounded says something like "arya will dodge forward with a dodge roll and slash whichever direction she is facing" idk if the attack after is movement controlled to aim, she's currently my least used of cast i unlocked last time

[@dekeiusgreen2738]

They need to make the character the original size from the beta in 2s I can't see both opponents depending on the camera angle and in 1s certain stages like chromulons once the speakers gone the characters take up half the stage seems super small

I don't get it, I input for one move and get the wrong one. It's weird 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@juicyboi121]

If you're using a controller, experiment with adjusting the deadzones of the left stick under the advanced controls settings. Also, if you use the right stick for directional attacks, keep in mind there's no way to adjust deadzones on it so if there's flick back it can cause an input that you didn't intend.

[@dragonking4386]

arya stark main?

[@devonschwartz5353]

Sorry to be negative but these things are driving me crazy Please someone rebuttal me and help me out: Dodge decay sucks, so limiting on dodge jumping No cancelling out of charging attacks No triple jump perk No swamping neutral and side attack in controls ie movement restriction, and the movement was the appeal of Multiversus over Smash

[@UnlimitedBick]

dodge decay good, the game becomes spammy and even cheesier without it promotes awareness of both players available tools charge attacks are meant to be used to hard read and punish, removing the downside of commitment would also make baiting into whiff punish even stronger edit: consider a superman edgeguard up tilt that he dodges backwards out of into a neutral punch either of these is annoying both would be borderline unplayable 3 jumps was insane, is still a pve gem(sorry pve bad) attack swap is important i hope they get it back in soon

[@UnlimitedBick]

actually an insane take when dodge windows are so small that i can see the dodge text pop up and still get hit by the attack i just dodged because there's a hitbox on both sides of the character great example is finn backpack which can be thrown out 3 times with less than a second of recovery compared to other characters with similar amounts of active frames (black adam, jason, superman) having worse start-ups, combo-potential, and recovery god forbid you try to punish banana guard whiffed side b with a melee character and get counter hit by his back

[@norix3605]

Generally it's easier physically to use the right stick and flick a direction rather than use the left stick and adjust from the diagonal dodge direction you just input to an up, side or down to do an attack. Not really required but a lot of people use the right stick to make tech like this easier

[@oklimbo]

I use both the right stick and the attack button, and I also have a button mapped to neutral attack. The reason to do this imo is that you can move one direction without having to do the attack that corresponds to that direction. The easiest example is you can jump and do a down air attack without causing yourself to lose height for pressing the down direction. Sometimes it's more important to have the exact timing of the button press and I use the button input because the right stick has a (small) travel time.
