Thanks man this is some quality content

[@Adam-jj9ql]

shouldve put this on screen tbh, hard to follow like this, gotta count from the first combo every time. sick vid tho man, ty a lot

[@omniboo1762]

This video really helped my pikachu ty orio

[@STAWBsOrio]

No problem.

[@shadoe1847]

I can imagine how hard some of those patron names can be to pronounce, still you did it perfectly damnn!

[@STAWBsOrio]

I do my best, but they’ve clearly never had the heart to tell me if I’m saying them wrong 😅

[@imESAM]

i don't like this

[@STAWBsOrio]

If you can come up with some Small Battlefield Pika shenanigans I’ll change my mind.

[@DARKJEEPY007]

Duuude! you've been on fire recently! I love them vids and feel like a child on christmas every time you upload

[@LxZLink]

Excellent music choice 😎

[@RubenN_00]

I still wont land any of these however its nice to know it’s possible

[@BlueboySSB]

Nice zed es es vid, you should enter wifi tournaments

[@STAWBsOrio]

Ew

[@DragonWarrior7771]

That sounds awful, she was small hitboxes and requires lots of precision so fighting with lag is so much harder

[@gracefulcharity8412]

This is my absolute favorite variant of stages we've received since sm4sh. Omega was chill battlefield is fairly try hard / campy. This way it isn't as annoying after winning all the time lmao. Plus it's more visually pleasing. Great video man !!!

[@X0MystikalLady0X]

I was wondering if you could, for future reference in a video, cover the Plasma Whip and how to properly utilize it. 🤔

[@odin5794]

It’s rare for anyone to have 0 dislikes on a video just goes to show you everyone viewing your content all believes it is noteworthy. Keep up the good content. Also not opposed to learning about Pikachu as well so long as the quality of your content remains you’ll have a continued supporter in me.

[@STAWBsOrio]

I have the nicest audience on KZbin.

[@le_narval9252]

Really good vid, thanks

[@bqrsti802]

That Piano finish was pure beautiful.

[@FuttbuckaJules]

You made me a zss main, much love

[@faizaanovais998]

Hey Orio your vids have really helped me as a zss main. Keep up the good work! Do you think you could do a video about how attack cancelling can be used by zss? That would be amazing!

[@keithramprabu3738]

Never disappointed by ur vids yo keep it up

[@harvirdhindsa3244]

Had to end it with a flip kick XD nice

[@Thatglasseskun]

I wouldn't mind Pikachu videos 🙇‍♂️

[@seolifpsb7924]

Very nice video ! Thank you

[@Fenyll_Fur]

Ah, yes. I too enjoy playing on smol battlefield.

[@ahat4046]

Something I discovered is if Samus is at 80% and on a platform full hop up-air slightly delay and drift forward double jump up-air turn around boost-kick Drifting forward before the second up air will give you enough frame advantage that you can land the second hit of boost kick I suspect that this isn’t true on DI out but on no DI it’s true and DI in should make it easier. I’ve only tested it on Samus but I think it should work on a good portion of the cast. I don’t know how practical this combo is or how much room there is for error. But I think it cool that aerial drift can give you enough frame advantage to make something that wouldn’t normally be true, true.

[@StudioEnergizerMV]

Amazing video, thank you for this so much!!!

[@windos7250]

Hey orio, I’ll love if you make a video about instant double jump and how to use with zss.

[@Adam-jj9ql]

zss should be like glowing in the thumbnail she blends in with the background lol

[@STAWBsOrio]

done

[@Adam-jj9ql]

@@STAWBsOrio epic!!! thank you!!!

[@BrandonSallinger]

You are doing God’s work here.

[@Adam-jj9ql]

bro every time i try these combos i mess up until i realize i dont have stale moves on lol

[@andreslarrea2230]

Noooo don’t stop uploading zss content

[@sloopjohnb5288]

You should do a vid on zss jablocks

[@buccob]

Actually the best stage for ZSS in SBBU is Tomodachi Life... lots of ladder combos from the lower floor... (JK I have no idea probably to much height between floors)

[@zsoliddanys1083]

Up air Up air Up B is back baby!!

[@bronywnm4742]

Orio do you think the new IDJ stuff will be useful for zss? Id love to see some of it (:

[@ariasariamis712]

Man, would love a video on this if there's anything to be found! That video by Snasen looked meta changing in all honesty, and although there wasn't anything shown from ZSS, I have to wonder if there could be any busted new options, like a better up air ladder setup, or something with rising fair into landing nair into flip kick. But ZSS jump height is really high tho, unsure if that would work. Maybe somthing on platforms. Myself, I can barely even pull off the tech, so I can't say for sure...

[@bronywnm4742]

Maybe dthrow uair is true again!

[@evelyie]

Hi! What about doing a video on a "training session" on ZSS?

[@STAWBsOrio]

It’s in the works.

[@evelyie]

STAWBs Orio good to hear! Thanks for the awesome content ^^

[@brb23960]

The question is, does Orio think better or worse of ZSS than Marss 🤔 given this I would assume better but hey, pikachu is busted so it’s hard to really look at ZSS and think much better than what Marss said

[@STAWBsOrio]

🤔

[@brb23960]

Mark P I believe he put her at 12, top high tier

[@eboki1641]

can you make a video about zair? I feel a bit confused how to use it other than zoning people out

[@rat7562]

zss plasma whip vid?

[@noirlavender6409]

Now Bowser and ivysaur can kill as early with about 10% of the effort of a ladder combo

[@STAWBsOrio]

welp

[@sorenzzz]

Do you think nair to up air is the way to go now? Controlling center stage will always have you in the advantageous position forcing a grounded approach out of the corner to be way too risky. And at that point reading jumps and burst options makes this stage incredibly broken for ZSS.

[@STAWBsOrio]

Nair to up air is insane on this stage.

[@anthonymasterofthedarkarts52]

Are you going to lab out IDJ?

[@AIexU]

I dont knoe if you'll see this but a guy named Snasen released a video recently about the instant double jump tech. Introducing it as a new thing and naming it after himself. However u mentioned this tech in many of your videos (including this one), even in ones from over a year ago. Who came up with this? Because it seems like he's taking credit. Idk im just wondering.

[@STAWBsOrio]

I’ve used the term “instant double jump” before, but I wasn’t talking about the tech featured in Snasen’s video, in which I don’t recall him ever naming the tech after himself.

[@AIexU]

@@STAWBsOrio the title says "Snasen tech" thats why i said that. But if he invented it then he can do whatever he wants. I just was wondering

[@bronywnm4742]

Quick question: Staring ladders w fair 1 on the platform looks sick. Is it better to just go for nair or uair to start them?

[@STAWBsOrio]

Depends entirely on the situation and character really.

[@greengooow7964]

Is it normal sometimes the number of the combo counter reset to zero ? Does it means is not true ?

[@PsySono110]

Do you play Ori in rivals of aether? (great video as always though)

[@STAWBsOrio]

On the rare occasion I play RoA I do indeed play Ori.

[@smackastan5697]

Can I Idj to start it?

[@STAWBsOrio]

I’ve messed around a little with IDJ in ladder combos, and I don’t think so.

[@smackastan5697]

STAWBs Orio that’s a shame, I hope you can find some use for idj for zerosuit.

[@matthewgreenewald9219]

I can’t tell if the pikachu tech joke is real or not? Do you actually plan on making pika tech? Bc I main pika second zss.

[@STAWBsOrio]

👀

[@raghavpatel720]

Does this work with DI?

[@STAWBsOrio]

Yes

[@jovannydiazabad6123]

Welp battlefield it was nice knowing ya but we must part ways because know I've found a new love in your smaller sibling😆🙃

[@eboki1641]

If you're going to start pika tech videos does that mean no more 300 IQ Zss tech?

[@eboki1641]

Or am i just dumb and didn't get the joke 🙈

[@STAWBsOrio]

I was going to, but since Small BF ZSS is the best character again.

[@zsoliddanys1083]

@@STAWBsOrio You dropping zss ? Im gonna get depressed.

[@Tode_DT]

Sorry, but I am a distinguished individual and only consume high production-value content

Hey Orio your vids have really helped me as a zss main. Keep up the good work. Do you think you could do a video on how attack cancelling applies to zss? That would be absolutely amazing!
