this technique gives you a whole second to think about what to do. when you get rapid jabbed, just roll behind them, simple

I like how easy to understand you make things. Some players like myself are relatively knew to smash and don't know all the crazy terminology for things quite yet And a lot of youtubers will explain techniques by only using all the crazy terms and i've no idea what they're talking about

Finally no more stupid guessing games when people Rapid Jab my shield.

[@Daniel328DT]

@divide two Just dont hold your jab. Some have slower jabs so good luck trying to get safely away from being punished. Honestly I find myself doing rapid jabs more accidentally than intentionally. I hate rapid jabs in this game so much.

@@tactician6101 Depends on the character. Some like Kirby do not.

[@innerbeast415]

PSA: Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab is still hard to punish with this tech unless he starts it right on top of you. His sword range beats out most character’s rolls if he starts his jab anywhere past mid range. I think Samus might still be able to forward roll through it, but I haven’t tested it yet. BACK TO THE LAB WITH ME.

[@NoshuHyena]

Aerials that are safe on shield are indeed scareials.

[@nianiwhite5052]

Awesome this is going to help me. In Mvc2 we called this guard cancelling. Cable doing tiger knee ahvb through hyper Sentinel force......oh the good Ole days :-)

[@redKheld]

Gimr is a real man of the groove for using Steam Gardens Theme in this video.

[@austinpowers3659]

Wait this was in smash 4, wait shields were so strong nobody figured out this tech

[@duncathan_salt]

there were only 2 moves that could cause it in smash 4: yoshi dair and lucario's aura sphere charge. the mechanic was patched into the game shortly after the shieldstun patch in order to nerf aura sphere charge shield breaks

[@RosettaGXA]

Shieldstun is much higher in Ultimate than in Smash 4 which means a lot of multihits including all rapid jabs can actually trap you in shield

[@juanmjx]

3:37 Is that Melee Marth? Wtf

I'm gonna be honest you're doing much better than the Beefy Smash Doods, I used to always go to them for smash techs but since ultimate came out it feels like they aren't doing anything, and when they release a video on a tech it's already been done

Could you roll in if corrin charges f-smash on your shield?

[@Custodius44]

Is there a list of what characters rapid jabs meet the 11-hit requirement? A google doc or something?

[@TheProgenitor]

This almost sounds like a Guard Bonus mechanic rather than stun canceling. In the slow motion clip, it seemed like the invuln started while you were still shielding. I wonder if this applies to other actions out of shield, like jump or spotdodge, or even just a simple shield drop. Might warrant some further exploration.

[@cmk5498]

Yooo it's the progenitor!

[@GimR]

nah that's just how the shield animation works. It seems the first OOS option starts while the shield is still up

[@austinpowers3659]

This was on my Reddit notification first

[@dagingerbreadman70]

Hey, people have made videos on z-drop combos with mega man and link, but NOONE and I mean NOONE has delved into villager wood block combos (the wood piece spawned by chopping down tree). There aren’t many high tech combos with villagers, but I think woodblock could be a potential goldmine of skilled play, in an otherwise boring to watch character. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to lab it, so I’m trusting you to make the discoveries. :)

[@AtomicDoorknob]

[@Sonictunic]

ty gimr fampai

[@domothebro2435]

So for people like inkling who can lock you in shield from a good distance away is it better to roll the opposite direction or does it just depend on where they catch you? ...also never change your outro gimz

[@KeleuHerdley]

If you’re talking about splattershot, roll away if you can. If you let go of shield, you immediately can be punished by down tilt or grab(grab only works if they’re close enough). Rolling towards inkling at that point results in you getting inked anyway, and gives Inkling more punish options. Rolling back makes you almost entirely unpunishable, since the only way Inkling can beat you out of that option is by reading you. For rapid jab, it’s the same as the other rapid jabs; just roll in asap.

[@domothebro2435]

@@KeleuHerdley I dont know if it has a specific name but I was talking about their normal jab where they repeatedly fire the gun and it travels a good distance. It may have to do with my characters, being ganon and zelda

[@bluryach]

YO thanks gimr you're a god

[@GimR]

[@IxXMadPenguinXxI]

ily. also when you play IC buffer nana to run while you walk its good trust. edit use the c stick to desync whenever you want by doing a tilt while nana dash attacks or if youre really good do a jab for quick follow ups on the dash attack.

[@xboxgamer474246]

So glad this game has guard cancelling.

[@hamptonwooster]

So you basically just hold the control stick to the left or right while shielding until it's that 11th frame?

[@GimR]

you gotta mash it

[@hamptonwooster]

@@GimR ahh thanks

Idk about this being in smash 4, I definitely tried everything to get out of aura sphere lock

[@mekk-knightsarecool222]

It wasn’t yeah. But you could have just shield di into them then back and you can drop ur shield.

[@Icebolt854]

So I'm not big into comp but would this make some of the lower tier fighters more viable?

[@Scurnko]

John Smith probably not. Unless I’m stupid, all it is, is a counter to rapid jabs, and the characters that are low tier, because of their bad options, not because of others good options

[@magnificify]

Would parrying an aerial be a better option? I guess it would depend on the aerial because some create space and if hit from above or behind a punish might take too long to come out

[@grotn_]

I used to roll out of rapid jabs in 4 as well but I thought people knew about this so I didn't think anything about it, lol

[@KuenchinDofus]

Does this work on Corrin's F-smash shield trap ?

[@AHGavInDaUSA]
