We love Banana Boy!! Thanks for the shoutout- good luck in the weekly tomorrow night. Everyone stop by and cheer on this legendary Yoshi 💪 twitch.tv/lkgprovo

I prefer wifi king. Lol

[@prempz6106]

I'm very new to this smash bros and I still don't know how to recover after this video. I wish there was a controller icon where I know exactly what button to press. I see other videos where people are just fighting under the platform and still manage to get back on the platform ( recover )perfectly. Is there a tick to doing this because I try your technique and I'm still struggling.

What about greninja the shawdow sneak all the way to the ledge then just use hydro pump it's almost impossible to not recover

[@firepingun1236]

@Potato Cat The best description I have is a loop of attacks that the other player can not escape from. The best of example I have of one is a Wobble. A wobble is an infinite from a grab with the Ice Climbers in melee and brawl.

I watched that set against BestNess! I was super impressed that you kept your cool, came back and won the match after he had that super disrespectful KO on you.

[@AWESOME100percent]

Used to main little mac. Was never good, but my recovery game improved a lot. It's so much easier to recover with a different character when you struggle so hard to recover with little mac.

[@zacktougas9678]

Bananaboy = best yoshi

[@hunnahunnahunnas]

exactly

[@alicia7882]

100% Agreed

[@smashgambits]

Doing the same option AFTER your getup is a really big one that most people don't think about. Thanks for mentioning it! A lot of times I see people do normal getup and shield, so I can cover roll or jump and since I know they might getup and shield, once I see the normal getup I run in (after a getup attack would end, but before the opponent can shield drop) and grab.

[@CyanKnight96]

The biggest thing I learned from this is that there’s a male Corrin

[@whoisyouareyouwinneydepooh7850]

I appreciate that ER reference

[@lillilith8568]

Otacon464 I believe he was referencing around 1:50 “ER” most likely means Ephemeral Rift, which is a popular channel in the ASMR community. The guy who runs it was used as the picture.

[@Vretorith]

I thought of E;R...definitely not who you meant lol

[@PengyDraws]

@@Vretorith E;R is great lol

[@gabs3147]

These are great tips in general, but it's also extremely crucial to learn the intricacies of character-specific recoveries. For example, learn the angles at which Incineroar can Cross Chop down to ledge, or practice recovering downward with characters that can teleport. Btw love your content you beautiful banana boy you

[@Yipper64]

Personally as an incineroar main my recovery game is on point but I'mma watch this because I can always learn more.

[@MyAlex528]

[@gyra732]

Lucinas recovery is actual ass Doesn’t actually grab the ledge

[@kpbevan_904]

Yeah especially for stages like Lylat where the ledge grabbing spot isn’t exactly visually accurate or forgiving.

[@AntonioMendez-ik4eq]

I honeslty kind of forgotten that bowser's up b is more vertical but back to the video, it's very useful to people especially when I get the habit of jumping immediately.

I like to alternate between recovery heights. Start at middle, go up, then down. Most players I fight are intimidated by this.

Recovery is the one thing im good at. For some reason whenever i get thrown off stage I can pretty much read the opponents mind. I wish the rest of my game was this good.

I live near Lan King and I had no idea they did locals, I'll definitely be showing up!

[@lankinggaming3021]

Woot! Love to see you there!!

[@equinox-XVI]

1:17 For me its more, "Don't spam the jump button after getting launched by anything." I get combo'd so much for this and generally lose a lot of stalks for it. (But props to me for nailing the very first frame of possibly jumping consistently while only pressing the button once?)

[@thecapitalisticdictator2256]

On ledge trapping dont be afraid to take a breather before getting up on the stage. Almost always people want to keep the fast pace and so they will throw out a dash attack, or a charge smash (and the like) thinking you are going to get back up on the stage the moment you grab the edge. When they do this and you didnt try to immediately get back on the stage, they are vulnerable and you can punish them accordingly and even start edge guarding them

[@Totsuzen]

id add another tip: dont just blindly drift towards the stage once youre off-stage. by letting go of the control stick at the right time or even drifting back a little you can avoid being punished without having to use your airdodge or double jump. that also prevents getting gimped by z-dropped items, like peach's turnips or link's remote bomb.

[@malfurionstormrage6782]

It’s so crazy to me that I’ve been living in Springville Utah and didn’t know there was such a great smash community so close.

[@Goontaeker]

If only I saw this before i learned how to do it myself

[@canthony4623]

I am still technically bad compared to most people, and this really helped. I can finally recover against people who are better than me, and my brother doesn't even try to ledge guard.
