I didn't believe these combos were real...

"The Salt is Real" video series by StylesX2 may be cool to the average joe in Smash Ultimate...but to me I call BS. I'm here to judge these combos and call out any of them that I think might've been staged.

StylesX2 also had a series called "The Ultimate Salt is Fake" where he shows some staged submitted clips. I would love to see Marss roast those clips!

[@rmlgaming2091]

Styles doesn't realize that many or at least some of the clips he features are fake/staged but just done so better so it's harder to tell. I mean at some point it kinda doesn't matter whether it's staged like Marss said as long as it's possible to do organically in a real game

[@Swnkmstr]

the irony of an "Ex-Pro Smash Content Creator" saying "If i got hit with that I'd be like 'no get a job'" is unmatched

[@sarthak-ti]

At 11:15, ness magnet actually always sends pichu into tumble at any percent since it’s set knockback and pichu just happens to be the weight that allows him to go I to tumble. No other character gets out I to tumble even at 999%

[@quantum6637]

The Falcon did ledge cancel at 2:30. You can slip off a ledge if you autocancel an aerial. AC-ing has 4 frames of landing lag + the 3 frames of jump squat for your next aerial, whereas if you slip off you can just double jump which is frame 1. AC up-air into knee is a true combo, just very specific.

[@ByoKora775]

Because of how light pichu is he is the only character to go into tumble when hit by psi magnet, the more you know, people keep forgetting that pichu is the lightest character in ultimate even lighter then jiggs

Never have I ever heard someone not like the salt is real 😭😭😭. Especially from marss

[@MetalGearBepis]

its cuz the clips are fake af

[@-feonix48-47]

A clip can be stupid and impractical without being fake is the thing. The salt is real is mostly stuff that people really _shouldn’t_ reasonably be getting hit by, but it does happen (especially when people just fish for only the silliest setups, yeah eventually it’ll work on someone) and it can be fun to see some of rarer interactions

[@robertocastro3310]

​@@MetalGearBepis styles actually checks things like the blue di line to check if the clips are real, he also checks other things, he has a series called "the ultimate salt is fake" where he shows fake submitted clips

[@crooker23]

​@@robertocastro3310 the clips aren't fake as in adjusted properties, they're fake as in the vast majority are obviously 2 mfs cooperating to make a sick clip, not actual in game combos

It's because most of them are cringe unfortunately

[@Holeinshoo]

Been waiting for Marss to react to this series. Not disappointed!

[@cjlite0210]

11:12 Yep, Pichu is so light that it's the only character in the entire game that is sent into tumble from PSI-Magnet

[@radiantscrub430]

4:00 really highlights what was lost as Ike players

[@roryrainbow77]

I agree with Marss that I've seen some definitely fake clips in Salt is Real, despite how he has a REALLY good filter system that he made a series on fake clips. Some people genuinely have no life and want to be a star so bad. At the same time some opponents are just actual cyborgs that don't press anything which is part of the problem. Pretty sure all the stuff Radley has done with Incineroar is legit though, as unbelievable as it looks. He probably labbed all of that out before hitting it and it legit works

[@cristiangonzalez2915]

i dont think team attack is off at 2:40 ganon just has the comman grab intangibility

[@scizorman257]

Magnet at 0 sends into tumble specifically on Pichu

[@kuribro5754]

At 11:12 , Pichu is the only Character, who gets send into tumble through Psi Magnet, because of her low weight being 62

[@connorgrimard]

Pichu is the only character in the game that gets sent into tumble by psymagnet

[@imaok10]

Pichu is the only character that gets sent into tumble by psi magnet because he’s so light. That’s why you never see it but it’s literally better for pichu bc they can tech to escape combos

@2:30 that uair is sort of ledge cancelled. If you slide off ledge during your autocancel landing you become immediately actionable (which can make rising uair into knee true). The falcon community calls it autoslip since its like an autocancel ledgeslip.
