Yo I love these shorter little snippets, they're super interesting and really well paced.

[@kestrel7493]

Fun fact: if you stand under a level 9 cpu on a platform, it will sheild and unshield, sometimes spot dodge. This is likely because the ai is ported and adapted from sm4sh and the ai is trying to sheild drop Even the game hates how the game doesn't have sheild dropping

[@shamarr879]

Xxsx

[@pultofcat8615]

TIL the toonlink stage has super satisfying wood sounds. Especially when landing with an aerial

[@gamermonkey153]

These short informative videos are so useful I have really enjoyed them lately

[@Me-uv4ib]

platforms be more clingy than stalker exes

[@Parpeing]

In melee the platforms are so slippery you know you wont be around in the morning lmao already moved on to the next platform 😎 the sigma platform grindset

[@devsiva8497]

If you buffer platform drops you will Often crouch so make sure to time it

[@rushhour4528]

yeah I hate it

[@guardian8926]

I've been misinputing dsmashes or dtilt trying to drop down aerial. It's so infuriating.

[@sullivanish]

Lol I go into full panic mode and just straight up mash down stick

[@legendredux1291]

ughh I wish ult has good wavelands or shield drop nice to know about the double press down tho

[@Parpeing]

Ludosity (the guys who made slap city) really seemed to understand why melee movement is so great, so i really hope the nickelodeon game has that same love Imagine a world where nickelodeon all star thingy is more popular than ult what a world lmao

[@brysonmcfaull1218]

Wow, I really needed to see this video. For months and months I've been trying to nair onto platform then nair through and Isaiah dropping is exactly what the doctor ordered. Thanks void!

[@ianwilson9961]

your content has leveled up recently. really enjoyable

[@dreadfuljason4166]

I like these short little tech videos. Keep them up I subscribed for more

[@DRshaneLOLOLOL]

that Isaiah drop shit has changed my life. I get stuck on platforms so much.

[@taeahn6065]

Solution is simple. Play on box, you’ll never crouch on platforms accidentally

[@ender3893]

Another thing to note about plats in general is that if you hold down after you jump under a plat, you fall straight through instead of landing on it

[@spacepeepo9442]

thank you mr void

[@glltyt]

You've been making the best tech videos, please keep going.

[@jakeoflight9516]

amazing video format, and very helpful content🙏🏾

[@ZakStrife9]

4° - Fast Fall and let your stick downwards while landing, you'll past the platform to the solid ground as If wheren't one. even works with high recoveries and free falls a lot as mix up.

[@HomieJared]

VoiD do be giving movement options in a game with arguably no movement options.

[@jlewis4441]

I mean yeah, if you ignore walking, running, jumping, double jumping, and air dodging lol

[@illford]

@@jlewis4441 no advanced movement options. Wavedashing is bad, no one wavelands. Everyone foxtrots like it's 2006 no moonwalking for style. This game has very little advanced movement tech, if wavedashing was good I bet they'd be able to do a lot more and Plats would actually be a good thing. I don't see people use them often, game is barely a platform fighter tbh

[@schwany6703]

@@illford play Lucas if you want movement that bad lmao

[@treyk4339]

@@illford can you turbo tbag tho?

[@jlewis4441]

@@illford I was bein' sarcastic lol. But jokes aside, isn't Smash like, by definition, a platform fighter? The series that practically pioneerd genre from the late 90's to know. I'm sure you prefer Melee or something for those reasons, but that's like comparing apples to a slightly different species of apples. At the end of the day, they're both still apples. So calling Ultimate "barely a platform fighter" would also be calling melee "barely a platform fighter", since most of their main core mechanics are the same or similar. It just so happens that Melee is broken, and can be exploited easily (neither of which are bad things), whilst Ultimate has way more solid game design, and more focuses in in the pure fighting part of the game with much more solid controls. I get it's a matter of preference, I personally think Ultimate is one of the greatest games of all time, but it still shares a lot of it's qualities with Melee. That statement is especially true at a core game design level. Tl:dr: Melee and Ultimate are both Smash games, one's just more broken than the other. Which doesn't make either better or worse in comparison to one another, just different. Anyway, that was fun to type, have a nice day.

[@willez99]

If their intention was to lower the skill cap between pros and new players by removing some moderate to difficult tech like shield dropping, they could have made it possible with the shield + special button method that you don't have to precisely tilt your shield but instead hold both buttons and do the shield drop input that way.

[@illford]

This game has a buffer so shield dropping would be easy anyways lol. Just move it from a corner or something

[@cometshard9082]

Cool and subbed. Thanks for the tip!

[@RedYoshi90]

Ayy finally someone made a video on it, been saying since like launch that you could always just double tap and platforms aren't that bad then.

[@freezeframeplease]

if you fast fall but keep the stick down u pass right through the platform

[@freezeframeplease]

talking about lading without aerials

[@cosmicrefractions2834]

What I like doing is running on the the side B-reverse needle charge cancel into a grab/tilt, though that really only works if they expect you to run off and throw out an attack, or they just used a laggy move to try and pressure you/they landed wrong so they’re in lag. But if they’re at like the edges it throws them off sometimes, idk I just think I’m cool af when I pull it off in the right scenario

[@tilts268]

Thank you because this is getting on my nerves. I feel like It’s been a subconscious thing for me too but when I need to do it most, I’ll be stuck on the platform for like 3 seconds

[@ryutipscows9712]

Ive struggled with platforms and this is super good info

[@strangejune]

Even when running off of a platform, you can get stuck. If you let go of the stick before you become airborne, your character will do the stopping animation at the edge instead. You have to hold forward for at least that long.

[@Ryomao1]

What about short up fast fall and the aerial of your choice After start crossing the platform ?

[@lordminsc24]

Sheik's footfalls on the wood of the platforms are my ASMR, never really noticed them before

[@MicrowavedFurby]

These recent videos are the reason is subbed

[@byotip]

Involving platforms in a totally different situation, when a opponent come to get you from the side or above: Bait with short hop then drop through the platform and punish the eventual aerial. Really efficient against swordmen mashing and holding forward in disadvantage. I don't know if many good player would fall for it, but it kind of allow you to safely delay your decision to punish the landing and sometimes give you free upsmash.

[@sosasmh9887]

Add all these to the void guides!! Im sure when people find out about your channel thats the first place theyd look

[@jejetube7667]

[@bornakaixp7137]

I like how void is the one telling people how to play the game

[@ScrubbedOut]

MoS Maje has a platform drill video that I would really recommend for ppl who want to get better at platform movement. Great video Void

[@astras6574]

So if someone starts shielding/parrying when I run off platform aerial I can just run off platform and grab as a mix up

[@ExileOfSand]

Can you cover platform movement in general?

[@cartkart1]

I can easily move and get off platforms. To move, move the left stick right or left. To get off, you can jump off, run off, or move the left stick down to go down through it.

[@Lampaluile]

Didn't realise that worked in ultimate , I stopped doing that ever since UCF came out for melee, forgotten tech

[@RePlayQ]

Ultimate platform tech is like a worksheet while melee platform tech is an entire course haha

[@patrickschott265]

I started smash when ultimate came out so I just learned these things instinctively, but I guess other people might have been helped out a lot

[@mateorodriguez2300]

I struggle to drop through a platform after dropping shield. A lot of the times opponents will hit my shield with an unsafe up smash and I try to drop through nair to punish and I always get a jab on the platform.

[@DrewZGmusic]

This game would be 100x better if shield dropping and sliding off plats was a thing Shield stopping too

how do you reset to have wolf in the same spot under the platform?

[@nesswednesday2976]

Surprisingly no, this is the first Smash game to not have shield dropping. According to Cosmos, this has been the case since the demo.

[@BBB-pe3ip]

Platforms feel way too sticky in this game.

[@combro7096]

It might also be worth mentioning that when it comes to “running off the platform”, there is a way to buffer even nair/fair and specials and not worry about getting just a jab/dash attack on the platform, by quickly letting go of the stick, inputting the attack, and then holding it forwards again (ex: forwards->return to neutral->a->forwards again will buffer a nair) I made a (very hard to follow but hopefully still informative) video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF6Zla15m8Rlo6s

I just want to know who thought it was a good idea to make crouching on platforms a thing. You know that's not what the person's going to want at least 95% of the time (especially when playing casually). If I wanted to duck under something, I wouldn't be on a raised platform to begin with.
