I love this series of videos! 😍 All the tips from these videos have helped me identify my major mistakes and make adjustments (I didn't realize that I unconsciously did these while playing). I also a now more aware that many online opponents do many of these bad habits such as burning double jumps and just throwing out moves without any reason. When I was a more inexperienced Smash player, I used to panic when I was at high damage, but now I just access each situation and read for free punishes on the opponent. Thanks! This is great stuff, JTails! 😊

Hey jtails, great advice! These are leaks ive identified, but dont always remember to work on. So, could you do a video about frame data? More precisely, what im looking for when looking at frame data. Am i specifically comparing to other players? How do i know its safe on shield? Because being negative plus ending lag is less that 11? Or is it character dependent based on jab or fastest move. Should i compare my main to basically everyone? Etc. Thank you so much for the quality tips

After playing Ultimate for a year, my #1 worst habit was trying to input-buffer everything when I went back to Melee. It was like I couldn't move.

[@ImAEpicster]

My left ear loves this video

[@Skyeleafe]

When tou demonstrated the part where caption falcon shielded the down smash and let go of shield was a habit I have when I play with my brother Edit: that second reason was so accurate on what I did. I kept thinking that "Oh im in the air and I can get out the combo and land with Dair because it'll hit him" but that git me punished Edit 3: that 3rd reason is.me but reversed, I double jump and get myself killed

[@ATV_1992]

I agree with everything that's being said on safety on shield tips, however, if my math isn't bad and Ruben's calculator is accurate, the example with ZSS's down smash and actual data of safety on shield is that the move is -15 or -16 on block (depending on which hitbox is the one that hits the shield), which means Falcon has 15 frames of advantage,. Shield dropping is 11 frames so Falcon has 4-5 frames to punish that action assuming everything is frame perfect. At the same time, this means he has 15-16 frames to punish it by cancelling the shield with a jump oos (frame 3 jumpsquat + doing an aerial of sorts, granted Falcon doesn't have great aerials to punish things oos) to punish with an aerial or an up b oos (frame 14). So in reality the move isn't 100% safe on shield. I understand that some moves have shield pushback properties which make them safer on shield even if they aren't but I think that's worth mentioning in the video, for example, if we were to do a frame by frame analysis of this situation Falcon would be able to throw out his jab before ZSS jab, but it most likely wouldn't reach because down smash has more range if spaced and Falcon would be too far away. Regardless you encourage good oos options that aren't dropping shield after a safe attack is thrown out which is definitely the best thing to do.

[@JulesTrades]

This is very true. Though I think those frame perfect punishes, even offline are extremely unrealistic/unreliable. I think players should go for guarantees when they try to punish moves out of shield, especially in this game ultimate. but yeah shield push and distance of the move is also another important factor like you said that frame data doesn't account for. Obviously I'm speaking generally in my habits video, and for the general player, having good practices will for sure increase their win rate. Case by case basis based on falcon's jab, vs gdorf jab for punishing out of shield is a harder analysis. haha I could have talked 15 minutes on this topic alone since it has so much depth, maybe I'll just do a dedicated video to talk about safe/unsafe moves, and why some things are punishable and some aren't in spite of frame data. good feedback!

[@ecgaming222]

see i still have trouble with moves safe on shield because of the transition from smash 4 where shield was so good in that game and you could punish basically anything out of shield to where now you can basically get hit with an fsmash try to punish and just get jabbed so it’s that smash 4 habit of being able to punish everything that it messes me up in ultimate

[@JulesTrades]

true, most fsmashes are punishable with just a few exceptions, like wolf, gdorf, sonic, mario. but yeah I get what you mean. just a matter of knowing exactly which moves are and aren't safe! through trial and error

[@doom3926]

That last one I definitely see a lot and yeah. Not good to be doing especially if your opponent is playing with a character with a good projectile. Samus WILL fire that fully charged shot if you try to do this and it’s probably going to hit during at least one of your vulnerability periods when throwing out those attacks. Then you got characters like Ivysaur who will get a variety of combos and setups out of their projectiles.

[@lightvoid7089]

About stale moves: if you stale the back air and then use fair once, does the bair go back to normal?

you have to use 10 other moves, THEN the bair will be fresh. or use 1 move, 10 times.

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

I'm really bad about the dair bit, because I main Ganondorf and his dair is really strong...

[@britipinojeff]

wait so what should I do when something is safe on shield? You said try rolling, but it can get predictable. So what else can I do? Letting go can get me hit, and staying in can get me shield poked, so the only thing I got is rolling and spot-dodging right?

[@JulesTrades]

you can jump out of your shield. you can press jump while still holding shield. You can stay in the same spot holding shield. you can drop shield and walk away, so many different options. the biggest thing is you have to mix them up well. most of the time if something is safe on shield, opponent wont be able to always react to how you escape, you can try attacking if you want, or rolling in a different direction. you just have to mix.

[@britipinojeff]

@@JulesTrades Thanks for the reply! I'll keep those options in mind, I think I just have trouble choosing the right one for the situation.

recovering stays a thing..i do not find using the moves hard, but to read how my opponent is deciding to keep me from getting back/to take the stock stays a thing for me and i cannot get this right most of the time against good players >~> and i hate characters with good spikes..i swear they REALLY annoy me -.-

2:55 This practice actually can be bad at times due how they can seem to grab you after while you're still in shield stun.

starting off with an example of getting punished because you arent familiar with which moves are safe on shield or not isnt a bad habit, its lack of game knowledge... really doesnt fit the title of the vid. Still a great video regardless, always love your content

This is true, but the habit is that regardless of what moves hit shield, people will always try to shield grab. It's a constant habit, whether it's due to lack of knowledge or not. I agree with you! Though figured this would be a good time to explain what safe moves even are.
