I’d like to have lessons with you 😊

[@mr.ledger]

Yeah I'm sorry but these videos absolutely destroy Zero's "tutorials" that are done on-stream and on-the-fly with whatever comes out of his head. THIS HERE is a real guide. It has an actual script, it's clean, simple, organized and edited very, very well. Props to you and your team, Izaw.

[@IzAw]

Thank you!

[@NSFSponsor]

Well Zero is a top level competitor. He may not have the time to make a real guide like this. Note: I know Izaw competes but it seems more like a hobbyist deal. Its not his livelihood.

[@nousername191]

It really is. ZeRo is the better player, but Izaw is undeniably the better teacher with these videos.

[@TheGunFreak94]

@@NSFSponsor Such a stupid excuse. If he doesn't have the ability or time then don't make it. it can only make things worse or unclear. Ill never understand people who make excuses for other people. Such a sad thing

[@Schokosnuss]

Robert Why is it okay for someone to talk bad about ZeRo but it‘s sad if someone defends him? Both sides are out of place here.

so cool to hear the basics explained from a pro, it really is like learning basic math from a professor, you get to know the right way to do things before you even have to use them (case in point, i always thought stale moves reset after using a different move, not after 9 moves)

[@art1637]

Ben Kennedy late, but I thought that stale moves dont reset until you lose a stock, so this was news to me lmao

[@spiralanimations7736]

XxFaustxX Some people don’t like its mechanics and some prefer actual fighting games

[@IzAw]

You can grab the ledge on the 30th frame following hitlag now. This was not the case when I checked on 13 Dec, so it must have been patched. We used to grab the ledge on the 54th frame following hitlag like in smash 4, so this is a huge difference.

I have been playing smash competitively for years but these videos are made so well that I watch them anyway!

[@perry686]

play melee instead

[@sludgebones]

Ultimate is very competitive too, and if you like melee than why are you watching this?

[@stegoooo]

I CAN'T PHYSICALLY PROCESS DOING ALL THIS IN A MATCH Edit: OK everyone in the replies is right, it comes pretty easily the more you play

[@osaiha5913]

start out with learning one thing at a time. once you're comftrable with that, learn another one. keep doing that and eventually youll learn the ins and out of it and then you can start.

[@user-we6om9ch5g]

me too

[@guitarheroaddict2]

I legit came to the comments to complain this exact thing too LOL

[@namiotp]

Wandering most of this (if not all) are geared towards the competitive side of the game, if you want to play in locals or other tournaments, for example. If you just like playing with friends, it’s not necessary (unless you wanna stomp them lol). This all comes with practice, however. The more you play and make use of these abilities, the less you’ll focus on them and the more they’ll become second nature.

[@Evan-cr1wu]

Same I'm like hmmmm let's see what should I do?

[@Vralde_]

That's the beauty of it. Easy to pick up and draw in casuals, deep enough for pros to enjoy for years.

[@thalison151]

Smash still is a party game, don't deny the game's roots just because it has mechanics Being a party game =/= It can't be played competitively Stop making a big deal out of it

@@thalison151 Noone was making a big deal out of it, read carefully what I wrote and feel silly.

[@inthebeginning4751]

To me all fighting games are casual until one chooses to take it to the next level which is competitive.

[@Ozionian]

In Smash 4, you taught me, and many others. Seems we're still learning from you in the Ultimate fight. Thank you, Izaw.

[@BrokenKeyboard14]

I actually took notes: *Smash Bros. Ultimate Guide* (1 Stop JoyCon during dash to turn quickly. (2 Perfect shield allows any combo. Jump, Smash Attack, Grab, etc. (3 Shield when you land to preform a Tech. You can tech on the side of a stage. It can be used to survive a “spike” but cannot be done at high percentages. Holding down will decrease your knockback (making it easier to survive) and holding up will increase your knockback. (4 Air dodging and place dodging. Dodging in place counters a grab. (5 When launched up, move directly left or right. Down will not do anything. When launched horizontally, move towards the stage and try to line up with the corner of the radar (assuming you were launched far) Momentum cancel moves work well like Villager’s Pocket. Jumps also work. Air dodging is risky, but if you survive you’ll still have your double jump. (6 Knockback increases while charging smash attacks. Knockback decreases while crouching. (7 Moves become stale (less damage and knockback) the more you use them. (8 Ledge Trump = Grabbing ledge right after an opponent to force them off. Dash towards ledge, then half circle (upwards) to instantly ledge Trump. You can prevent being Ledge Trumped by buffering any action. (9 A Two Frame is when a character has 2 frames of vulnerability when first grabbing the ledge. You can do a fake out on some special moves by holding up then releasing at any time when trying to recover against a Ledge Trumper. This will make them grab the ledge first so that you can Trump them instead. (10 Reset: If your opponent doesn’t tech, you can go in to reset them by hitting them which will force them to roll, attack, or stand. You can only reset them twice. They will bounce, then you can start a combo or a quick smash attack. Or you can reset them twice and try to predict what they will do next (roll, attack, or stand) and punish them for that. (11 A Tomahawk Grab is preformed when you pressure your opponent with aggressive aerials to bring out their shield. After doing this a few times, you can instead jump and fast-fall to grab them while they’re shielding your fake aerial.

I don't even play and I'm watching these because they give me a better grasp of what's going on in tournament matches. I've never found simpler and clearer explanations of tech than in this video series. Great work, man.

Great information. The pace of the video is just the right speed and the edits and the script make it very easy to watch. The only thing I would ask for would be timestamps for the sections for easy reviewing.

Hey there, just wanted to say that your guides are very succinct and helped me a lot in getting a quick idea of how the game plays. I have to cover a Smash tournament tomorrow but have never played the game, and these videos gave me enough of an idea to not look like a total idiot when I'm interviewing players tomorrow. Thank you so much!

[@ZachGranger]

I don't even own Ultimate and still love watching these

[@nousername191]

This is all worth knowing even if you just like watching competitive Ultimate. Gives you a greater appreciation of the great moments. If, for example, I show my parents, who know next to nothing about fighting games, the Daigo Parry without an explanation, they wouldn't get exactly why it's so hype (they're not idiots, they'll suspect that the block takes great skill when they hear the crowd cheer and realize that it was a great comeback when they see the HP bars). Without a basic explanation Street Fighter's physics, frame data, rules, etc... they couldn't possibly know how precise and skilled one would need to be to pull off the parry, much less under tournament and losing conditions and punish with a special before the opponent can recover and knock you out with a light breeze.

[@pizzashark7067]

You're missing out, my man. Unlike the Wii U, there are more reasons to get a Switch than just Smash.

[@reginoldbottomsworth330]
