"Greninja's Hydro Pump, which don't do much damage." Hydro Pump being one of the most powerful Water-type moves in Pokémon.

[@Lagaa]

thats smash bros for ya

[@fisbowl]

lmao fr 110 base power plus greninja stab god it’s insane. plus greninja is a special attacker so it’s busted

[@TriTheGuy]

@@fisbowl I wouldnt really say so, it can be good for breaking steel walls but to say its overpowered is a bit much. imo water shuriken is a better pick on greninja with priority and being able to break substitute

[@something21893]

Smash and the franchise is different.

[@ILikeSponges4]

And shadow sneak can hit jigglypuff, so what

[@wizzard3326]

So Greninja is the "Be Humble" character.

This makes me realize how bad I am at Greninja even though I main him Edit- damn this comment was a year ago that’s wild I’m still bad at smash Edit 2- we hit 2 years gang!! I haven't played Smash in a bit but I'm better Edit 3- it’s over, my friends. i’m off to college in a few months and i don’t play anymore. greninja carried me through every single get-together with friends and i am unbelievably grateful 🙏

In terms of combos up air and down tilt. Down smash forward smash and forward air are his best kill moves. U could kill with counter but you can also use the counter to start combos

wavebouncing is actually doing a reverse B and B reverse in one move. There for if you have rightward momentum you’ll want to *flick the analog left, press B and then flick the analog right immediately*

[@merpoid]

Thanks Choctopus. You are amazing and very dedicated. Your weekly series help me a lot :). Keep going!

[@stev7074]

Greninja d tilt is SO GOOD. At low percents, it’s a free grab, mid percents can combo with instant reverse bair or up smash, and at high percents has 2 kill confirms with fair and up smash.

[@InfiniteGreninja]

6:21 you can’t see me!

I've been maining him for about a month now. If i were you I'd watch apolition's tadpole to toad guide for greninja. Its very, very useful

[@tribiliter]

@@Whodagod this was two years ago lol. if he is still playing smash he is probably insane at it by now

[@randommercenary3106]

something choctopus i think forgot to mention is, when you and a bunch of people are playing together. as a greninja with a bunch of other people, your shadow isn't seen very easily. i know this was a while ago but i'm saying this for anyone who may be reading this rn. so to you reader, you are welcome

[@mrguy1234_5]

I appreciate it

[@egnender9203]

Thanks for this guide, even though I’m a little late to the party, I was thinking of side maining him, as a nice little trick up my sleeve cause I main bowser, so it’d be nice to have a character that’s fast and has projectiles

[@ihavenoinklingofanidea2786]

This is pretty good for battles with your friends for greninja. Use his alt costumes to blend in with the background to stealthily take care of your human opponants. This may sound weird but DO NOT USE THE BLACK GRENINJA ALT IN NIGHT STAGES OR DARK STAGES. Instead use the dark purple it sticks out less. Only use this in arenas for chosen stages or group get togethers in regular smash

[@Dkcwong1109]

Thanks for this. I'm a Greninja main and this helped a lot.

[@dungfungus56]

I main greninja and I can say that you need to learn how fast his shadow sneak is since there are some maps where you can’t see the shadow on the floor so you need to learn the speed and shit

[@CapsirusPrime]

It's nice to see such an underrated character get the love he deserves

[@whale7291]

Haha he made the REALLY FUNNY type advantage joke with Ninja Frog and Buff fire cat (;

[@thecasual8413]

I’d like to see Dr. Mario.

[@josesoto1219]

I feel you ma dude he's miss understood just because he's slower but in some occasions he's better than most of the Mario characters

[@thecasual8413]

He’s my main. I thought he was trash, but his combos are some of the best in my opinion

[@josesoto1219]

@@thecasual8413 You bet they are their fast strong & will rank up damage in no time

[@madtronome2969]

Greninja is all about identifying openings. See an opening, react and utilize his explosive frame data, and get a tech chase/jab lock situation and apply the same rules of reaction with explosive frame data to continue the string.

[@Jadock]

I swear no one ever mentions up throw to short hop nair at low percents. It’s a really good combo starter.

[@rafikirana2468]

Know why. It isn't true.

[@rafikirana2468]

Also shortup upair or upsmash would be better. Upsmash for good damage or upair for drag down

[@tarynbergland4925]

Late but also down throw down smash and use your a for the multiple hit. It’s a crazy combo starter at early games. Almost no recovery.

[@JustChllin]

In my opinion, Greninja also has one of the weirdest announcer calls.

[@trulythelongestnameinthisc8779]

Greh-nin-ja. Weird

[@JustChllin]

@@trulythelongestnameinthisc8779 and the way he says it too.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Greninjas wall jump is different as well. He can actually stick to walls for a few seconds. After joker please do ROB. I am so stoked you did geninja though. He is one of my alts and sadly I just discovered the "wall jump" he can do like 2 days ago and his counter being able to go in different directions I learned last night. You can also use the counter as recovery but thats kinda situational but its awesome.

[@benoweth1138]

Whoa there he is.

[@JoeManza]

I have a good idea of what Greninja’s codec call would be: Snake: Otacon, this may sound crazy, but there seems to be a strange creature here. It resembles a cross between a frog and a ninja. Otacon: And that, Snake, would be Greninja. Snake: Greninja? Is that a…Pokémon? Otacon: Yes. Greninja is the final evolved form of Froakie. It’s a Water/Dark type. Be careful, Snake. Like it’s name suggests, it has the agility and speed of a ninja. It can also compress water into throwing stars, or shurikens. Snake: The speed and agility of a ninja. I don’t know why, but I’m getting some serious Gray Fox vibes here. Otacon: Good to see you have some degree of familiarity with your opponent. Snake: Believe me, Otacon, I’ve dealt with some pretty agile foes in my life.

Thanks for the sub!

[@kaden4418]

@@Choctopus I have a question. Now, I play Smash Bros for the 3DS, and when I play as Greninja, you know when you hold down the A button, he either does punches first? I like to do when you hold down the A button, SOMETIMES he wags his hands all around rapidly. Now, when I press down on the A button, I just want him to do that move, not the three punches. And I've watched CPU Greninja do this, and he can do the wagging his hands all around move all the time, and SOMETIMES the three punches. I (as a player) just want him to wag his hands, whenever I press down on A, but I need to do it several times to do it. How do I fix / do this move? If you know which move I'm talking about. Can you please tell me? Thank You.

[@ailesfortune5033]

I suggest to greninja players to be careful with the downtilt/dashattack to fair it is easy to airdodge and i don't really recommend the jab lock After a falling upair because you Can easily tech it, it sometimes connects with a downtilt or uptilt as a true combo. Finally the combos shown in the video are not true combos for some of them but still really good mixups. Anyway this is a good tutorial and WE lack of these with greninja!

My biggest problem with greninja in my opinion is the transition between certain moves. For example, I can't do down tilt to up smash if my life depended on it. I either do a dash attack, forward smash or up tilt on complete accident.

I tried playing with greninja, but I wish his jumps were lower, because his air attacks are amazing, but the jumping throws everything off. I wish his jump mechanic was similar to shiek.
