Hbox starts his "final tier list" series and this comes out half way through. 100% that tier list is in constant flux for a few years moving forward.
Samus stocks went UP
Ike may move up or down a few numbers, but he's not getting out of mid tier
Yeah it's definitely not definitive.
@@pubertdefrog I dunno, Ike has a 0-60 combo now depending on the opponents DI, and it's pretty flexible if the opponent does DI out
@@sparkymarky211 and how effective is this in tournament, training mode results ≠ tournament results
Toon link could already wave dash in ultimate from what I've seen this just makes it 10 times more potent
Banjo also has a crazy wavedash, probably one of the best in the game tbh
Just lol
In ultimate its called the wave flop 😆
@@quinnthomas1007 to tru
What? Everyone can wavedash...
You know you’ve mastered a game when the animations for your character look uncanny and physically impossible and don’t match the action.
Hey girl
@@azumarill80085 Cool I guess, a fellow cultured person.
Nintendo: We removed wavedashes from Ultimate.
GimR: *Screw you and everyone you love. I'm making it myself.*
Isn't wave dashing still possible to perform in Ultimate but just nerfed compared to the Melee version?
Gimr legit gave Ultimate another patch! Love seeing all these cool new clips!
An actual good patch too which will actually impact the game
@@sikeyno.8797 cmon don't be that guy. Many of the patches were pretty impactful. Corrin was dog water when the game came out but got buffed 28 times, now they're good. Falco's moves didn't work on release, now he's high tier. A bunch of characters went up the tier list after buffs; Captain Falcon, Ryu, Ken, Rosa, Puff, Diddy for example.
@@brain_tonic yep, and then you have ZSS, inkling
and Pikachu
@@brain_tonic It really wasn’t that deep dude
@@brain_tonic seriously. Not that deep.
I've unintentionally been doing slingshot for the longest time with Cloud in order to charge limit while retreating.
Same but instead of dashing I've been doing it in the running animation to do Rars more consistently
Honestly, alot of ppl have been doing it. it's just a Rar...
@@sora4440 the difference is that it retains the ground dash speed vs just normal reverse jumping, where you lose speed. It’s not the same at all.
@@sora4440 It’s not “just a rar” it’s a more precise input that gives you instant max air speed
Its not that game braking i don’t even use it and other people at my local use it and I have gotten top 8 two times in a row. This opinion will probably change as the game ages, but I don’t see anything gamebreaking at all.
this is so good for sora bc originally you had to position yourself specifically to combo on platforms and now with slingshot you can continue the loop instantly reversing nair and can give yourself more options. if someone can do it consistently it could have a lot of potential
Melee players be like:
“Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power!”
*Hungrybox:* Look how safe that nair Greninja has.
*Sakurai smash 4 kicks in:* EMERGENCY NERF THAT THING!!!
I’m very happy slingshotting was documented after the last patch so Nintendo can’t do anything to somehow patch it
It was obviously planned
@Uchechi Godwin-Offor yeah. That would be a living hell for the coding team
they could just choose to patch it anyway there is no rule saying they cant. But also why would they anyway
They can patch anything, nothing is stopping them. I don't see why they would patch this, though.
Why would they? Is not that good thech, is not taking you from 100th to 1st
Joker already kinda felt like a Melee character trapped in Ults engine and physics so it is cool to see him combine slingshot with gun movement.
The slingshot combining with Ults Wave dash is also very interesting. I always thought Ult needed better options for grounded mircospacing and no tools are better at that than Dash Dancing and Wave Dashing. Hope the Sling Dash becomes relevant at top level.
@@ABC-ik9vj ?? There are no drag downs in Melee but there are multihits. Modern melee Fox mains, especially Moky and IBDW, often use Up Air 1 for combo extensions
@@ABC-ik9vj isn’t Samus up air in melee a multi hit?
@@theimpersonator7086
if you have an effective multihit, its hard to say that someone is similar to melee, is what he means
because its true
Not called a wave dash lmao ultimates version should be called the wave flop 😂
All I’ve ever seen is people doing the gun dash. I’ve yet to see anyone act out of it.
Toon link actually has a half decent wavedash because it only has 18 frames of lag, which is the same as melee Mario's
Lavish two years ago: "get on my level"
Gimr: "well it's back to the lab with meeee"
I have a funny feeling the tier lists are going to need some revaluations.
derp
Let’s give it at least a year of waiting to see who gets the most before evaluating. Only obvious one right now is probably Mewtwo up I’d say
Hero + Acceleratle + Slingshot + (Th)wack on the 1st line of Command Select. Imagine.
You are definitely on to something
From Top Decking to Top Speed Decking...
Or Magic Burst.
At 7:12 it was showing how it beat most confirmed Up B out of shield options.
That in itself is insane!
I love how smashes advanced tech always gets discovered years after the game is released
Greninja actually might get much, much better with this. His OOS is still garbage, but with the slingshot you get even more safe pressure which is crazy.
Maybe FOOS can help with that?
I love how the only reason people were hyped about this tech was because gimr hyped it up😭. We all knew this shit wasnt changing anything
Sora is absolutely broken with this new discovery
The toon link one is crazy
I mean, I've been "wavedashing" for most of my time in Ultimate. It's more of a waveland, but some characters barely come off the ground at all when doing it. It's fun for minor mix-ups but I really just do it for my own entertainment. Haven't found it to be super useful. Maybe mixing it with slingshot somehow would change that tho
IC’s can cover every ledge option, Palu does a neutral get up and is untouched at the end of the video 😂😂😂
The funniest part to me was someone asking if Wolf had a gun dash during the Joker clips
To that one person that said Joker is now S Tier, where have you been?
*Joker has always been S Tier*
I cannot believe people are barely realizing you can do this, this is why you don’t steal techs 😂
Why is everyone freaking about this? How do all these top tier players not know about this?
wavedash go brrrr
Inkling slingshot bair just straight up covers like half the stage it's great
3:40 my Brian ain’t functioning right now lol
BRO RUN!!!!!!
the spell check police are COMING!!!!
I am the spell check police. And you have spelled almost everything wrong
And for that I am giving you a spell check ticket
@@MF100 he misspelled only 1 word
@@magk2524 Yeah I know its just a joke lol
the mario strikers charged music hit HARD
I’ve been doing that pichu tech without knowing I was slingshotting this entire time 💀
Back air into back air into back air into back air into bac
This is the iceberg that broke the titanic
I think it is time to revisit your tier list. Also love the K.K. Soul song ❤
Riddles is about to go crazy
That tweet from 2018 doesn't mention returning the stick to neutral, the fixed pivot distance, or the hurt box shifting.
They thought they were done with the game. So the people came and broke it to show them that THEY AREN’T DONE until WE say so..
Isn’t it ironic that people would down talk on melee because of wavedashing (glitch). Now the same people are hyped for this? Having more movement options just makes the game deeper.
Nobody talks down on wavedashing being a glitch what, everyone wanted it in ultimate
Wavedashing isn’t a glitch. Sakurai himself said it was simply an exploit of the game
Yeah idk who didn't like wavedashing for melee, and if there were, they DEFINITELY aren't the same guys that are hyped for slingshotting
I think you're talking about certain casuals who don't play the game competitively. That's a completely separate group.
@@Exl6243 a very vocal group of people, i remember melee being brought in many discussions on videos of similar topics back then when smash 4 was played
"Yeah this one can be patched unlike melee" same with people bringing proyect M to the topic.
These people live fighting in comment sections or posts
Yes more joker tech let’s gooo it looks clean to
Kazuya is 💯 the best character coz of THIS I can't imagine what slingshot with crouch dash would do and i wonder what new crazy combos he gon get i Don even have kazuya but he is my dream character
Great!!! Great!!! Another Smash tech I'll master in 20 years. I barely can do wavedashing and just learned that tech during the lockdown cause of boredom.
I'm surprised not many people found out about this lol. Glad it is now known
as a toon link main I'm happy
Lucas has a true infinite now bc of this
Hey! I'm a Kazuya main! This is useful as heck, let's go!
I remember pulling it off accidently, and having no idea how, and what just happened
does anyone know the song that starts at 2:35? it sounds mad familiar but i can't remember what it's from
Lavish looks like he gatekeeps tech too 😂
Joker is a confirmed floatie
2:01 look mom i made it to an Hbox video
8:08 me too!!!!!
Ultimate players: melee is just people spamming glitches
Also ultimate players: omg! a new tech gives us better movement options!
exactly,
literally 100%
but this isn't glitch though😅
Except this isn't a glitch, it's usable on the entire cast and not 3 top tiers, and it doesn't invalidate half the roster
@@justiceiria869 cool, neither is wavedashing or debatablely l canceling
@@dmwanderer9454 If slingshotting isnt a glitch then neither is wavedashing. literally every character in Melee can wavedash. The tech isnt invalidating at all
I wonder if slingshotting will become so essential for top play that it becomes exhausting to play at all
lol how did ppl not discover this way earlier it's literally just jumping w fast reverses
i love the slingshot but i hate how this has somehow made people think shield grab is an amazing out of shield option for no any move lmao
yea ik, lol
love you man have a nice one
Wavedashes THEY LIIIVVVEEEEE
Can someone tell me what this sling shot thing is
No
Wavedash is back baby
These new Smash players are intense lol I think we’re witnessing the next generation guys
I feel like meta knight is gonna be cracked again with this new tech
Bruh I’ve been doing this with little Mac for the longest time, a down angled air dodge onto platforms sends your momentum slightly in either direction and gives you a slight “bounce” I imagine it might be different for every character based on weight and possible fall speed
I’ve been doing this with Yink, and it’s succeeded in some smooth evasion.
I’m surprised more players aren’t using it..
One of my favorite things is air-dodging through something you read, like a Falcon Kick, and it looks like you speed blitzed behind them. So fucking satisfying to pull off anime.
100% he is going to have to make one more tier list .
it's the og himself!
Can someone explain the pichu one? The slingshoting cuts his bair animation? How can he do it so fast without landing delay
idk what to tell you, its ultimate, there's already basically no landing lag, combine that with the fact that it has so much buffer, it just looks like its faster than it was before because back then people just didn't do it because you had to be precise on the sticks
I discovered this already. Using the non friction we now know about we can slingshot into an air dodge. if done in the right window the momentum from the sling shot will send you sliding. Not as useful as melees because you still are not actionable during the slide but is still awesome movement.
lol no one uses this anymore
Fr lmao, everyone's been doing this, gimr just gave it a name😭
Yo this is crazy! My god
Melee HD has been out since the start of the game
Anyone going to appreciate that black Yoshi was featured in this but it’s probably just a mod?
Normal Link somewhat can do this wavedash too
Looking at the Kazuya one if u ewgf inside their shield they would be knocked forward right into u so wouldn’t that be broken
Yeah this isn't new, I've been showing people this since shortly after launch, so around here we call it the Lex Tech :/
Does this completely uproot the tier list
Bruh riddles just gotta lab, man was undersellimg Kaz so much
If melee’s so good why didn’t they make a melee 2??
Gimr: You were saying?
not
@@honk1419 hi, thanks for your reply. You may have noticed this comment was what is called a jape, a jest, just having a laugh, kidding, messing around, taking the piss, or even…a joke!
Please enjoy the rest of your day.
A better boy than me would understand why this all makes Hungrybox swoon.
Whats the song between the palu/joker/Yink clips?
When Sora came out and i buyed him i tried the Sora Loop and mastered it.
Ultimate is the most balanced smash game
“Hbox”
this is why I miss smash 4
“SandyCrash”
0:21 whats the music in the background?? i wanna know plz someone tell me
Looks like mango will be playing ultimate again huh?😊
I hope so
Sling shot is not a new tech it’s been around for a while but people are barely discovering a good use for it.
I still don't understand the practical use of this and why it's such a big deal
somebody should make T.A.S combos with this tech.
joker movement reminds me of smash 4 mewtwo
Damn toon link can slide now
Wouldn’t be surprised if slingshot get patched out. Kind of goes against ultimates balance philosophy.
thumbs up for bassmage
I saw someone claim that quarter circles has the same effect as a slingshot. Anyone know if that was debunked?
bro please someone tell me the song name at 3:00 i remember that song from super mario strikers and it just brought back so much nostalgia
Just.... look up mario strikers music until you find it.
You were hating on Toon Link b4 now look at you guys 🤧
0:03 lulul this vid
We already knew toon link could wavedash tho
*switching to zoners*
New techs looks interesting
Meanwhile Min Min players are just popping off
Gimr waited for the last patch so that nintendo didn't patch this out
I’d say joker is moving up the tier list but he’s already top 3 soooo
I think you need to remake your tier list now
Tekken getting in ultimate with kazuya wavedash.
Good morning
Good morning
Wait, Robin glidetossed out of a slingshot? Oh fuck
