Micro Melee Episode 6 - 5 Ways to Punish Sheik's F-tilt

[@Radarssbm]

Didn't mention this in the video, but it's worth noting that all of these techniques are useful against the majority of moves in the game. If you master these techniques, you'll really grow as a player! Also, when I said that some low tiers can't take advantage of every technique, that's mostly because I simply didn't want to experiment with every single character to find out if there are some options that don't work. Every character in the game can wavedash down for example, but it's possible not every character has options fast enough to take advantage of it afterwards due to slow run/wavedash speeds and slow move startup.

"Insert shine out of shield clip here"

[@Radarssbm]

I looked through 30 sets and couldn't find a clip! I've already had people commenting saying I should have mentioned shine OoS as an option (which I felt I did), but i honestly can't even do a shine OoS wavedash punish with Fox (don't play the character) so I couldn't record it myself lol.

[@Zephsux]

MichaelRadar ah, I see. I've only seen a select few such as sfat and if I remember correctly maybe leffen? So I could understand it would be hard to even find a clip of it and especially hard to actually do it if you main the character. Honestly, even after playing fox for 2 years I haven't been able to shine OOS wavedash, although I gave up within minutes because it was so hard lol

[@mitchelldumpson7603]

I love your Micro Melee videos, keep them coming!

[@JoeyEmanuele]

Tip for peach players: double jump landing (quickly double tap Y or X) is a good substitute for wavedash down

[@Radarssbm]

Oooh good to know! I'm not a Peach expert at all, so good to hear she has some unique options.

[@zxdevoutxz]

Youre gonna blow up man, I feel it. Keep the amazing content coming

[@Radarssbm]

Thanks so much, I hope so! It's genuinely really taxing to work a 40+ hour week, then spend all my weekend time on these videos. That's largely the reason I've been slipping a bit on the upload schedule. Really hoping the hard work pays off.

[@fadedlamp42]

I love this channel so much, keep it up man.

[@TheDanielradio]

Nice video!! I really like the art you got going on (the thumbnails and stuff).

[@kirjian]

That last one could be a subject for a Macro Melee episode. Just throwing suggestions, excellent video yet again

[@nicedude22]

new fan here, love your content man. I just got connected with Slippi and Dolphin. Shits crazy! new age of melee has arrived

[@Krisspear]

Thank you! Method 6 is what i needed :) Love your channel btw

[@SquattingxBear]

Such excellent content once again. Very helpful stuff here.

[@CeilingPanda]

I mean, it's been known for a while, keep at it and you will be the next go to channel for tutorial videos for smash.

[@Radarssbm]

As in, it's been known for a while that my channel is the best??? lol

[@ApexSkimmin]

Great video! This definitely helps as I am a samus player who struggles with sheik enough as is!

[@kristenb7967]

Thank you for these videos- they've taught me tons. You deserve much more subscribers tbh.

[@Radarssbm]

Tell your friends! I’m hoping to grow the channel as much as I can :’)

[@somniad]

1:23 "But did you notice the gorilla walking right through the frame?"

[@ScorpMatoro]

As a sheik player please don’t make more vids on how to beat my character please k thanks

[@SSB_Seal]

Lol same

[@GimR]

Awesome Video! PS: gotta put in front of a link to make it clickable (Your Patreon)

[@Radarssbm]

Thanks! It's great to hear positive feedback from someone as established and experienced with content creation like yourself! And thanks for letting me know about the link! I've fixed it, ahaha

[@GimR]

Keep it up! I love the series! It's perfect

[@AfroSnackey]

Jigglypuff quit literally has an aerial dash dance with that air deceleration.

[@ividboy7616]

This is outside the scope of this video, but I feel like I should mention that you don't have to hit or grab sheik to "punish" ftilt. If you see them ftilt but think that you're gonna be too late for a punish, a run up crouch is a good way to beat a lot of common post ftilt options (another ftilt, instant nair, spotdodge, ect.) If this is very obvious I'm sorry

[@Radarssbm]

Nah it’s still smart to bring it up, and is a great point!

[@xmajesticmoosex]

Great video!

[@caustiCanine]

You should make more videos, you definitely help beginners like me with learning the game.

[@Radarssbm]

GomuGomu probably gonna do a livestream about this today or tomorrow but I was in a car accident a year ago and I sustained a concussion as a result. I’ve spent the last year recovering from that brain injury. Hoping to start making videos soon

[@caustiCanine]

Oh damn, well, I'm glad you're getting better.

[@magitechssbm2211]

So, as a Falco, what I got from this clip (#6) is I should just shoot lasers.

[@dexz5881]

NOAH MY SITUATION .AMAZING SONG

[@Nikkerman]

3:31 knee rubbing issues

[@abjoern]

These videos are excellent, I'm loving it so far. However, the pink text on the light blue background is quite hard to read. I dunno how you would go about fixing it (as changing the colors would break the consistent color scheme present in all the videos in this series), but I just wanted to let you know.

[@Radarssbm]

Thanks! Yeah this has been an issue I'm wondering about as well...the solution I'm considering is to use white text on blue instead of pink...but I'm not sure if that will be much better. I really value the consistent colour scheme and don't really want to give it up unless it's absolutely necessary

[@maxono1465]

MichaelRadar mb use black outlines?

[@orbital1950]

Sheik ftilt vs falco uptilt Falco uptilt used defensively is one of falco's best options.

[@dawudrahman4779]

U should put some smooth jazz or something in the background of these vids. Just make sure not to make it too loud. It would make these videos much better

[@Radarssbm]

Any recommendations? I’m a not a big fan of most of the copyright free jazz I’ve found so far

[@thewoahshow641]

delete this. jokes aside, very good video

[@uberpownage3577]

The clip at 0:42 is quite haneous... In the clip the kriby, due to its long start up time, the down air must be a read on the sheik either doing a run up f tilt outside of Kirbys threat range or is literally just spamming f tilt. In the clip it isn't even a pusish on sheiks f tilt. It clearly goes back to a standing state then you see sheik toss out ANOTHER f tilt and Kirby down air is barely active before the 2nd f tilt is. In that time any reasonable player would have seen the kriby jump, maybe react to the down air itself as its so slow, and sheild grab. Please don't be spreading false info on character specific matchups. Otherwise good video though, just a REEEEEE from a kirby main nbd.

[@Radarssbm]

Reads are still punishes lol? Not every way I suggest in the video is supposed to be in reaction, I don’t think it’s necessarily weird to show how to punish f-tilt with a read, or even how to show a counter to sheik’s spamming f-tilt (as they actually do that lol). As for the Kirby clip, my mistake!

[@markus1811]

It's a pretty well made video, but I have one big suggestion: Please don't use a pink font on light blue background. It's really hard for people to read.

[@Radarssbm]

I'll consider switching to white! I just want to keep a consistent style for the channel and this has been a comment that people have been very divided on. Lot's of people like it, lots of people dislike it. Gonna try to find a good compromise!

[@TDansVids]

I think if you're sticking with the pink blue theme then maybe consider adding white or black outline to the letters

[@amirking6514]

I can see just fine and think it looks good
