How to Play Rosalina WITHOUT Luma

[@Nick_Leo]

if you're interested in getting my detailed feedback on how you can improve your gameplay, check out my new patreon profile at: patreon.com/NickLeoSmash for more details, 🙏🏻 thanks!

This is very useful because I lose Luma a lot during my Rosa matches.

[@Gridkeeperr]

I am a Mario fan and I main Peach, but the lag ruins my inputs and I lose several matches. When I play offline, I can do JCFF's and combos smoothly. I hardly find Australian Rosa players online. So I picked up the character. *Thank you for the guide*, NickLeo. It helped me win online matches and Rosalina & Luma became one of my best characters.😊

[@alsldoekd]

This is good and all, but can you make a tutorial for playing with only luma

[@Nick_Leo]

eychenfour that’s literally what I was going to make next! It will be more in depth than this video too

[@lumaria7525]

Sounds nice 💫

[@chrisburhans7925]

Huge fan of your Rosa work man. I went from being a top 5 contendor, to winning the last 3 of my locals in a row cause of all the tech and help. I've shared your videos with some others as well. Much love and I'll be watching all you produce my man.

[@nnf2160]

Your videos are great and my rosa has been drastically improving from them, thank you!

[@kisekix5209]

Your videos have been really useful! I've been maining Rosalina in smash 4 and ultimate but your tips help keep my gameplay fresh and inovative

[@093-f8o]

Your videos... So much Quality.

[@mochaccino9407]

useful as always i never knew how to play with out luma and it would get me in a lot of trouble becuz approaching never worked out well and running gave them to much so this will be helpful i just have to get use to playing the wait and react game

[@therealwnd1820]

This is extremely helpful because Luma gets out a lot. Thanks!

[@aaroncontreras1274]

This is what i needed

[@luisocampoaltamirano2890]

Nice video, I’m sure I’ll be very close to make Rosalina my main.

[@Jaboooeyiii]

YES FINALLY

[@honeycomb821]

ah yes, I can't even play with luma

[@cheyennearana1016]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@bigred9653]

Hey I really love how you explain everything about Rosie and star, I love your videos allot, I really miss your content, I hope to see in the future seeing Rosie And Star kick a.. again

[@Nick_Leo]

Big Red I really want to post more content ASAP, but I’m having trouble with Google Adsense, its possible someone hacked it and I need to fix that before I start posting again and unfortunately I’m having a hard time getting any help from google :/ Hang in there tho! My next video will be packed with Luma tricks and tech!

[@bigred9653]

Thank you for the insight, i can't wait😁

[@TheKoopaBros]

That was really useful. I'm a new Rosalina main (since a couple of months ago), and this will definitely help. :)

[@therealwnd1820]

And I love these series of vids!

Nice videos!

[@junlexip9204]

Hello Nick, need your wisdom again! I been facing opponents that abuse their ariels due to their good frame data or range, like Wario, the Fire Emblems, etc. I am not able to punish accordingly, maybe some tips from you would be great. Love your videos, will continue to be watching you!

[@Nick_Leo]

I know that most fire emblem players love to jump in and space aerials which often hits Luma and is safe on shield, if they do hit your shield and they’re properly spaced, I would either roll back or drift back with a Nair, either way don’t try to punish. Instead try to avoid that situation altogether by dashing back when they jump in and hitting them with a B reverse Luma shot (if they shield you can follow up with Up tilt or Up smash often) Also if they don’t approach you can throw Luma out and keep hitting them with starbits. The video I’m working on now is going to cover a lot of this stuff and will hopefully be done this week! The same strategy goes for Wario since he can drift away so quickly, but with him if you whiff almost any attack he’s going to drift in and get a punish, so try to attack conservatively and use more tilt-cancels since they’re low commitment.

[@junlexip9204]

NickLeo Smash Thanks for the advice, will definitely take a look at all your upcoming videos and relook all the past ones!

[@lumaria7525]

Thanks for the video. Do you think you'll do a series where you showcase the matchups vs the character roster and what to expect from each one? It'd be a cool resource as if you're expecting to play against something like a Sonic you could go to that video which has him somewhere in it and study. Either way you're doing a good job ⭐

[@Nick_Leo]

Lumaria I have a list of video-ideas and I find it funny that after I make a few more videos I was going to do exactly that! Thanks for the reinforcing idea! :)

[@lumaria7525]

@@Nick_Leo Ahh I'm really excited! That's gonna be an amazing resource 🌟

[@rault.f9480]

I love the cross that have Luma

[@Dcarock]

Don't have the game but I'm happy I'm prepared for this

[@Nick_Leo]

dcarock 😂 one day you will thank me

[@jasper500k9]

Nice! Usually when i take Rosalina seriously i prefer to use Rosa only and go aggressive

[@luigipie5402]

I love her dash attack, I just wish it was stronger

[@CalebWrightfunkofilming]

Thank you for all of these videos. I’m not near your skill level, I am enjoying Rosa though

[@luigipie5402]

I pretty much just play a very bait and punish when luma is gone. I just space myself outside of the opponents and punish whiffs. Basically, I use dash attack all the time 😂😂

[@Adam-kw6ht]

I’m trying to main roselina and I’m having a difficult time with recovering, I SD too often.

[@Nick_Leo]

Adam ! Her up B angles are tricky, I might do a short video on this in the future. 2 things that are tricky are: -to go straight up, flick the control stick back a little after inputting -if you hold the control stick diagonally, tapping vs holding B makes a difference in the angle (tap to go higher and holding to go lower)

[@daydreamer2566]

Cool vid

[@pinkliongaming8769]

Can't you save luma with an up b?

[@Nick_Leo]

If Luma is in its tumble animation (after being hit) there’s nothing you can do to save it

[@Jaboooeyiii]

Can U also teach us faithful rosalina players on how to deal with chrom It’s SOOOOOO annoying

[@RaynDBU]

Rosalina secondary video?

[@Nick_Leo]

Formula SSB while working on that video, I realized I should do a little more research to improve its quality and release it at a later date, but it will be soon!

[@RaynDBU]

@@Nick_Leo Alright

[@RaynDBU]

Also you do bo3s?

Whatcha mean?
