Fantastic guide! The way you went over things and also gave not only visual demonstrations to go along with them, but the fact that you usage in actual matches was very helpful!
Picked him up like a week ago and searched for vods or guides to analyze, so yours gave me a lot of answers and showed so REALLY useful tech, thanks ^_^
Thanks so much! Im a new player since it came to switch, and this helps a lot. I can do decent with him but my damage output wasnt enough, so this helps a lot.
Nice video dude! I honestly thought that grounded nspecial was always objectively inferior to the cancelled air nspecial, but now I see using them makes sense sometimes.
Considering that those weren't covered in this video, I could just wait for the next tips&tricks but I'll just explain it but not like everything about it... I guess ( - _ - ). War Horn: This move while not having much uses for combos, it's mostly used as a edgeguarding tool. This can catch your opponent if they're going to be going near the stage's ledge or walls, which you can prevent them from walljumping at the ledge or ledge teching from there. There are two hitboxes being the centre(inner) and the sweetspot(outer) and so you would have to space the move to get the right hit. Mobile Gear: This move, while having some doubtful combo potential can help extend combos if used appropriately towards your opponent. This move can give out 2-4 hits depending on DI. If for instance, your opponent DIs out from a sweetspot dair and so it launches them to the gear, then you can go for let's say... a fair combo setup. You can also have moving charging Fstrong or Ustrong when riding on the gear. If your opponent is on a platform and the gear catches them, this can lead into a wacky kill unless the jump out of it. Momentum Mail: Benefits neutral like his weakness of being slow, benefits combo followups like a string of babydash jabs, makes him a little bit heavier which makes it harder for him to die. Dynamo Mail: Can lead into early kills but one charge of an aerial strong attack can only be used once.
@@minty6623 okay its not the best example but at like 7:04 the anchor hits below the ledge and i feel like when i do that i would slide down and die but in the video he bounces on stage
Hey I am having trouble understanding how F-Air works. In training mode. Somtimes I am able to cancel the Fair into other attacks like nair and dair. And somtimes it just keeps fairing over and over. I've been trying to understand what makes it cancel and what makes it keep fairing and I can't really figure it out. I cant get a consistent cancel.
Maybe you pressed the button to early that the game thinks that you inputted another fair, so you have to wait until the animation ends and then you input another fair1. I've encountered this problem before and so I always tell myself to wait until the fair animation ends.
Okay maybe I am pressing the button to fast. I just don't get it cause sometimes I just mash a and when I go for the dair I continue mashing a but hold the stick down. And somtimes that works. And other times it just continues doing fair. I have similar problems with doing the reverse up b. Somtimes I get it after just mashing fair then up b and somtimes when I do the up b I just fall with no input. Anyway I may just need to keep practicing and figure out what I am doing wrong. I appreciate the quick reply. And the video was helpful.
Thanks, just bought rivals of aether and loved the way shovel knight played. Now I’ll be able to be good with him!
As someone who got this game a month ago and loved how Shovel Knight played 0:31 made me drop my jaw.

How do you keep moving forward while doing a nair chain? You have to do a neutral input to do nair
Hello, you let go of the joystick for a millisecond to do the nair
What are the skin codes for your shovel knight?
Is there anything to say about the war horn, the mobile gear, or any of the armors?

@@minty6623 Thanks for the tips! And the guide itself is really well done.
this is awsome
So is he on console cause I don’t see him
how do you hit the wall during his upspecial and bounce off it instead of getting dragged down to the blast zone
wdym by that?
@@minty6623 okay its not the best example but at like 7:04 the anchor hits below the ledge and i feel like when i do that i would slide down and die but in the video he bounces on stage
@@johnfahey8590 You just have to walljump by pressing jump when during Uspecial. simple
@@minty6623 oh idk why i didnt think of that it was in the tutorial lmao
@@johnfahey8590 lol, what do you play on? I'm new to the game. If you play on switch we should play sometime
i dont own the game but this will be helpful

ty for this
kinda hard to get with the combos, they seem pretty fast to do and has to be some perfect timing...
Takes time and practice
they are also not perfect timing btw, Rivals has a buffer system to make perfect timing easier
@@minty6623 really? well, thanks for answering me that... I'm kinda new to the game and I was kinda lost, thanks for posting this tutorial.
@@minty6623 but one question, its ok using a keyboard for doing these combos?
@@thekingomaster6298 Can be performed by any controller yes, that includes keyboard so specific controllers shouldn't matter
After almost a month since this combos & tricks was uploaded.
