I picked up Daisy as a joke and then fell in love. Honestly it has made playing ultimate the most fun smash game for me

[@PhobicSSB]

That makes me really happy to hear! I was similar, I just wanted to learn some of her techniques and after playing for a bit I knew she was my perfect character. Love hearing about people enjoying the same character that I do!

[@yoshixyami]

Legit I was just trying to find a character I would have the most interest in playing with so far is Zelda,Daisy and wii fit trainer. But I get the most satisfaction from playing with Daisy.

[@burningcobra68]

Same for me dude

[@togaprentice9927]

Same here. I did a 8 player smash with my friends and picked peach. I got 1st place and instantly fell in love

[@orlanddiaz641]

Me to I did it joking but then i saw that she was really fun soooooooo secondary from inkling 😃

[@ona512]

why does your narration sound like I'm watching a spooky top 10 most creepy reddit accounts video

[@bigbadluck2776]

15:50 "beginner combo" Finally someone smart enough to make a difference between combo x) Some people make "beginner guide" but they just show ridiculously hard combo Best guide I've seen yet 👌

[@PhobicSSB]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you got use out of it

[@hailjigglypuff4771]

When you talk about ridiculously hard do you mean Peach's drop down air combos? Those took me some time to learn... on Robin. Everybody else seems to get out of the combo. I guess I will end on a grab with shorter characters.

[@almightypalevin8186]

One of the most informative and useful Daisy/Peach guides EVER! For a beginner to using Daisy this helps me A TON! I especially like how you gave a recommended control setup and went over movement giving tips on how to practice in training mode! It's one of my biggest struggles using her! Thanks again!

[@PhobicSSB]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm just glad I was able to help some people out

[@enoswong8678]

I'm amazed that this only has 10k views given that its so professionally made, and well explained as well.

[@DiamondDust132]

Pretty good tutorial! Well done! For anyone trying to learn her, don't give up! She's VERY good and is worth the practice.

[@bluebird6591]

Considering picking up peach as I try to improve my hand skills and potentially find a new main (currently raining zss). Thank you for this. This guide gives a real solid explanations on everything and makes me want to progress to one advanced videos when I'm ready (if she's a find for me)

[@Lopster_Real]

cant believe Spike Spiegel just made me a better Daisy player

[@S1rL3m0n]

16:25 is that disbelief papyrus’s theme I can hear on the background

[@nefigah]

You are an excellent script writer and your reading of it is clear and practiced-sounding. I would watch any guide you made!

[@PhobicSSB]

Very kind of you!!!! I appreciate your compliments and hope things are going well for you! :)

[@samchambre7387]

I just got Smash a few days ago and want to main Peach. I've been watching a lot KZbin videos about how to play her, and I think this is the best one for new players like me. Super well taught and filled with great material that's actually accessible to beginners. This video alone will definitely elevate my game to another level.

[@jawesz7420]

Hos are you doing with her now

[@coraraids]

Float, down A, Up A, fast fall into down tilt then throw in like a forward aerial to finish and maybe throw in some turnip juggles

[@Braxxty]

Thanks for the vid. Very informative and everything was explained correctly and easily for me to understand as well! I watched Leffen's and Samsora's Peach guides and this video was even more helpful than theirs! Subscribed.

[@PhobicSSB]

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me :)

[@Phi792]

Your wording of how to play Neutral with Peach was really good and helped me a lot, this guide was amazing! What would help me personally for your next video would be a guide on basic edgeguard setups, how to two-frame, when to go offstage and when not :)

[@PhobicSSB]

Thanks for the kind words! And I'll look into making something dedicated to edgegairding in the future

[@loganmchenry]

Best Peach guide I have found. Fantastic

[@PhobicSSB]

Thanks, I'm glad my content has been helpful!

[@notdoodle7436]

I have played peach for 4 months and this was one of the videos I watched to get to know the character. I feel like I learn something new every time I watch. Sucks how you don’t post anymore

[@masoncouldwell3115]

Sick guide

[@Junetau]

Thanks for the breakdown!

[@PhobicSSB]

No problem, glad you liked it!

[@marq_8976]

Every time I play this game (maybe once a year at some friend's house) I try some other characters but Peach just seems very solid so I always go back to her.

[@Baka_Crazy]

I always practicing the depth flow attacks and I hope I can use them correctly. It really takes time to master that and I hope everyone had these troubles at the beginning.

[@PhobicSSB]

Hey don't worry, everyone struggles to grasp a lot of these concepts and movements when first learning. They aren't easy by any means and everyone I know who has learned them struggled at first, so just keep practicing and I know you'll keep getting better!

[@Baka_Crazy]

@@PhobicSSB In Training mode I can do it easily but in a match the most annoying I do is doing down air instead of n air. Do you use the shoulder buttons or the x button for these attacks?

[@PhobicSSB]

What is probably happening is that you are pressing "A" too quickly after initiating float and buffering the down air. You always need to press down to start a ground float so you probably aren't giving enough time before you press "A" and after you let go of down so that the stick is back in the neutral position. Try to be very deliberate in your matches so that you aren't rushing the inputs in higher paced situations. Also i use "L" for ground floats and use "A" for nair and c-stick for other aerials.

[@Baka_Crazy]

@@PhobicSSB thanks for the informationen~ I also try touse my c stick more often~ Peach and Daisy mains are one of the nicest persons in smash~

[@PhobicSSB]

@@Baka_Crazy No problem, and good luck with your training!

[@adamzirkelbach6236]

I just wanted to say that your controller tip really helped me fine tune my daisy technique. I had no idea she could not do her ground float without a jump button! I thought I just sucked lol. I'm a classic smash player. So I use the traditional stick jump with no jump button. Great tip!

[@fragon6130]

I know im late but wow this tutorial is amazing, very clear and easy to understand ty

[@PhobicSSB]

No problem! I'm glad people are still enjoying it this far after I created it!

[@davidmesut3406]

This guide is amazing thanks!

[@tstott2548]

Great job!

[@m_chael]

watched the video, turned off stick jump, did 2 1v1’s against level 9 cpu’s implementing it in and won. about to watch the next one on it then go online and see how it goes

[@PhobicSSB]

That's awesome! And good luck on your improvement!

[@thebestme1396]

Why take off stick jump !

[@m_chael]

because i jump with x so i just hit x while holding down and can immediately float or while falling i can just hit up on the control stick and float instead of having to worry about double jumping

[@mayguo8947]

Really awesome tutorial! Thanks!

[@PhobicSSB]

No problem! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@mayguo8947]

Also I don't know if you take requests, but any advice on how to take on sword characters as Peach?

[@PhobicSSB]

@@mayguo8947 Yeah, i'll try to eventually cover a lot of the questions people have, so thanks for the suggestion and i'll adjust the order of videos that i'm working on to accommodate for my audience's requests.

[@zachbehrman1921]

Looking forward to better understanding her turnips! I can't figure out how to effectively use them

[@XxZev124]

Well I got lucky, because I love Peach.

[@Yumi-Shinu]

the guy:prinsses peach peaches name:daisy

[@hollowroxas4742]

I mained Luigi since Melee and now I wanna have Daisy as a secondary to complete the ship.

[@CapttainSparklez]

15:29 How the heck do you do that so fast? I cannot even reach close to that speed without accidentally down-airing.

[@PhobicSSB]

Speed will naturally come with time as you practice it but if you want to focus on speeding up, be VERY deliberate with your movements and really think about why it's happening. In order to input the GF Nair you need to input the downwards direction to float. So, remember you're limited to the amount of time it takes for your control stick to return to the neutral position after initiating float. It's most likely the case that you're pressing attack before letting this process happen and buffering the Dair, so try adjusting your timing a bit.

[@domiisbaack]

Very nice tutorial! Do you plan on doing other characters too ? :D

[@PhobicSSB]

Well that's an intriguing idea for sure. I'm definitely more of a Peach expert but I play some other characters and it's in the cards. Did you have any particular characters in mind?

[@ripedevilfruit]

ive been wondering if having jump as the shoulder button was actually a good idea since i never hear or see peach/daisy players have it on... so thanks! overall vid was rly great and helpful :)

[@PhobicSSB]

You're welcome and thank you for your support!

[@-_soy_-888]

I wish you’d make that Peach neutral guide. I’m just picking her up 3 weeks in and I feel like I suuck despite all the training and vods I watch

[@enderunkin]

This is an awesome video thanks man. Could you go over JCFF and how to practice do it consistently in this game? Great work!

[@PhobicSSB]

Yeah, I'll start working on that soon!

[@mintichoco211]

honestly i wish i could set the c stick to move and the movement stick to tilt attack i feel like that would make float combos so much easier

[@GOLDENOZZY]

Should I really change my C-stick to tilt? I want to learn peach but I feel this might affect me play other characters. Any opinions on this? Great guide by the way.

[@PhobicSSB]

At the end of the day you should always use what you're most comfortable with. However it will make running tilts a little harder and it can make getting confirms that require turn around tilts with strict timing in combos more difficult. For example, back air to down tilt can be true or close to it at low percents and with the tilt stick you can start holding right with control stick in the landing lag of bair and just use tilt stick for down tilt as soon as you see your character turn. There is probably a way to do this with smash stick (like using diagonal angles maybe?) but overall would be more difficult. Again this might not be a big deal for you though and samsora uses default control (I think) so certainly there are ways to make it work! Hope this helps!

[@jackmckinley5817]

I'm certainly no pro with peach, but I find it very helpful to use the claw grip when playing with her. There are several videos on this particular grip, but I've had a significantly easier time with the ground float aerials using the claw grip. Essentially, your thumb stays on the c-stick (set to tilts generally) for instant aerials, while your pointer finger comes up and covers x, y, a and b. Your middle finger would then press r and r buttons, and your remaining two fingers would hold the bottom of the controller. There are different variations of this, and I actually prefer to have my thumb cover the b button as well as its a little awkward to hit it with my pointer finger. It might feel a bit awkward at first, but I think it provides much easier access to ground floats and instant aerials. Let me know if this helps!

[@davidduncan5690]

hey idk if you’ll see this (i hope you do) but what how should i set my controls for the nintendo switch pro controller ? you showed us how to set it up for the gamecube but i don’t know what i should do for the nintendo switch pro controller

[@PhobicSSB]

Everything is up to you! But from the video I would change your right analog stick to the tilt attack option and whichever back button that you'd like to jump if you want to float with your right thumb free. Wish you and the world the best! Harmonious Blossom.

[@davidduncan5690]

PhobicSSB what’s an/is the analog stick ? 😅😅

[@PhobicSSB]

@@davidduncan5690 lol sorry I didn't hit the mark with the first explanation! But analog sticks are the two swiveling joysticks on the controller that defaultly control movement (left analog) and smash attacks (right analog)

[@joebroantonio]

If I change my controls to tilt attack, how do I use my smash attacks?

[@PhobicSSB]

You can press a direction on your control stick (up, down, left, or right) and the attack button ("A" on gamecube) at the same exact time. And you can charge it if you hold your attack button!

[@davidbai3543]

Quick question: when you are spamming back air in neutral do you turn around most of the time and then ground float back air or are you using attack cancel back air/reverse aerial rush?

[@PhobicSSB]

The clip i used may have been confusing but you should never really be spamming any move especially if you are getting whiff punished. I use both of these methods in neutral either at a distance i know my opponent can't punish the landing lag in order to control space or space myself to begin applying direct pressure with the move if i find a way into my opponent. I don't use attack cancels often but they are useful, most of the clips I am just doing RAR into ground float. Hopefully this is somewhat helpful lol

[@gabli6757]

I have so many trouble with her down tilt, when I want her to do that single attack, she does the down smash. Like am I timing my button combination wrong?

[@PhobicSSB]

Typically I reccomend using tilt attack for doing down tilts because it makes it much easier. Do you use your c-stick or attack button to use tilt moves?

[@gabli6757]

@@PhobicSSB I use the attack button! It's been years since I've played smash because I only had Brawl. ;^; so I'm like super naive when it comes to what attack is what

[@PhobicSSB]

@@gabli6757 lol I completely understand, it's hard when you first learn how to use all of a character's moves. If you want to use the attack button then be very sure that you are being careful with how you are pushing down. If you press down hard and attack quickly you will always get the smash attack. So you either need to try and move your control stick down first and then press attack or only tilt it down like halfway then press attack. It's actually a lot harder to do it this way instead of changing your control scheme to tilt attack on c-stick because you can always have easy access to it!

[@gabrielcartier9053]

Amazing guide ! Thank you :)

AWWW DID I WIIIN!!!

[@azumarill80085]

I use daisy with solo joycon, does that work well too?

[@cyrrean7373]

As long as you don't have stick jumping I think you're okay really

[@charliethepuff7586]

If I lose to someone using single joycon I want someone to put me down

[@deiongreenaway9751]

I think this new

[@Rj-ub8rg]

tried it out.... could do some combos..... hand got sore...... sticking to ryu.... great vid tho xD

[@felipe6522]

What are Peach/Daisy's best single kill options?

[@PhobicSSB]

I think her best kill options are Fair, Bair, dash attack, frying pan, f smash, up smash, Nair and back throw. Sort of in that order

[@davidmesut3406]

Btw, is it nessecary to have jump on L?

[@PhobicSSB]

I wouldn't say it is necessary! I know some peach mains who prefer to use the standard jump button it's personal preference really. It will probably be slightly harder to do float movement without it because it frees up your right thumb to do other inputs

[@davidmesut3406]

@@PhobicSSB ohh, great advise, thanks. I'll just look whatever fits me

[@PhobicSSB]

Haha sorry to disappoint you but I'm not sure if I'll put much more OW content on this channel. I might stream it on my twitch from time to time but the only thing I might make for KZbin is a console ana guide

[@kirbyhypno2522]

Why does every single guide ever made just assume everyone is using a GameCube controller. If a 7 year old watched this to learn Peach/Daisy, they might not even know what a GameCube controller is.

[@PhobicSSB]

Hey, thanks for bringing it up and while I considered going over other controller setups in the video, there are two reasons I didn't. Firstly the majority of those playing and interested in the competitive side of smash and even a large number of casuals find the gamecube controller to be the most comfortable to them and it's also the one that I use myself. And secondly, I didn't think it would be too difficult to translate the changes into another controller type e.g. "shoulder button to jump" seems somewhat universal. If you need help translating the controls, let me know what controller you use and I can give you the translations!
