- Many players tend to start their matches super well but struggle once it comes time to end a stock. Finishing people off is its own challenge and there are many different ways to approach it. Here are my tips to KO better.

Sheik mains: “WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!”
i feel this man
I know this is a joke but at mid-high levels Sheik doesn't really struggle with kills and has pretty decent confirms. Her main problem is that because her low damage output she has to win neutral so many more times then her opponent, even with her long combos. If they buffed her damage no one would really talk about how hard it is to kill.
@@jasperkra-caskey2048 but sheik cant kill funny haha
Sheik has kill setups but the problem is that she doesn’t deal enough damage. She can literally f-air you across the stage and you would take around 30%.
@@crazybokoblin8638 dude fair does 5% I'd you only use that well okay you won't do any damage
If you use ANY other moves, now your combos deal a minimum of 40%

TheRagingInfernape the endless struggle of our clan shall not go unrecorded
Sid bee
TheRagingInfernape Psh, we have kill confirms. We have weak nair to down b, we have... uh... ftilt to drag down uair to down smash, we have.... uh... I think... umm...
Shiek mains complain too much.
green of tree black of blue As a Sheik pocket, Sheik barely has any ways to kill, but she can actually rack up damage through either needle camping or general combos.
Playing marth has taught me the best way to get kills consistently is to keep you opponent in disadvantage rather than focus on actually killing
My name is Samus and I approve. I just pump out damage, they will die sooner or later.
Blaine Browning I use Sheik and I simply use kill setups every rare opportunity I can find.
@@kyx5631 Its time to change that thinking man we got plenty kill power now. Having a tether grab that kills at 150 is actually dumb for a character that racks up damage like she does and has so many confirms into it, usmash that kills at 130 (when it works) and dsmash that puts your opponent at a easy edge-guard position offstage when landed by ledge, if it catches their jump some characters just die and it kills at 130 too. Idek when dash attack kills but it DOES. I mean you still have to play damage game but not nearly for as long as before. Past 100 you can pretty much start thinking about how to set up your opponent to die.
@@shyarusu7755 You might be correct. But that means I need to learn kill setups. Yay...
Also, WiFi lag makes stuff like bomb into reverse bair difficult.
Do you mean the up throw that kills at 150?
@@kyx5631 Yeah up throw is what I meant. It's literally dumb though the amount of things that get you that grab like bomb, charge shot, zair, dash back pivot grab out of jab 1 (if they're not gonna spot dodge) and out of tech chases and at ledge. Samus doesn't even have to engage with you at all till she gets that grab at kill percent. It's dumb and I love it. Reverse bair is diffy online for sure
I would love a video on picking stages that suit characters and picking stages that certain characters struggle on
HDWalrus
basic advice would be that characters with projectiles do better on flatter stages with less platforms for the enemy to retreat on. also characters with good aerial juggling like Mario, Capfalcon, Falco, etc, really like platforms cuz they can continue juggling the opponent for longer. :)
@@RacingSnails64 thank you my tits
HDWalrus at least you thanked my tits
th-cam.com/video/29c6-AJr8LY/w-d-xo.html Go watch this, it might be quite helpful.
Well there’s battlefield, or omega, some characters are better with platforms for combos, others are better on the flat stage, sorry if this doesn’t leave any room for a video
Ganondorf Mains: "Wait you guys have only a few kill moves?"
His jab and two of his tilts aren’t
MasterXG fast characters: Can’t hear you fat ass mind running over here and telling us.
Down throw, Judge, Oil Panic, Fire (while recovering, if you get a stage spike), all smashes (d-smash especially so because it sets up into f-smash if you sweetspot it), d-air, f-tilt, d-tilt…
@@CanClub Jab can kill a lot of characters..... if they're at 180-200+ and at the ledge, if I remember correctly.
Ftilt can do the same at ledge, but earlier.
Dtilt kills a lot of characters at 140-ish.
Not lab tested for the percents, just anecdotal from playing. Of course there's a lot of factors (bad DI, move staling, weight, etc.) that go into whether each one can kill.
sheik :you guys are getting kill moves
"Know your character's kill moves"
Man it feels good to main Byleth right now.

As a game and watch main, I agree.
Just watch maister hold up smash for 10 seconds and have his opponent land on him because they don't know that gnw up smash has invincibility frames
@streyar bruh fr it’s so safe it bs

The amount of people I see try to punish that move only to get down tilted is hilarious.

@@Endershock1678 theres only one attack that gives no shit about gnw upsmash.... Yeah wonderwing

Tips for Bayo Mains:
*Switch Characters!*
No and no those characters are both viable with enough practice. It’s called being a character specialist
William Lacy Kirby isn’t bad nor hard to play. He’s high tier. Bayo on the other hand...is terrible
Hey I discovered some sick Falco tech! First, on the character select screen, you press the B button after selecting Falco. Then, you select Wolf.
Chocolate Confections & Emulsion Kirby? High tier?
What was in those buffs?
Bayo is a joke. And she deserves it.
I literally lost at a tourny last weekend because other people kept living until like 180, and now you release this video at exactly the right time. Thanks man!
Goomba kept.
Who were you playing? That info might let people help.
@@guidomista3570 Joker and Bayonetta. 2 characters that can struggle a bit with killing.
Surely before last weekend would've been a better time
As a Young Link main, learning all of his kill confirms was what made me kill Snake at 80 insteadof 180.
ProNerdy what are yinks best kill confirms? I want to start using him

i prefer raw pk thunder in neutral because it takes less brain cells
@@dashmasterboss8251 I think PK fire to back throw takes less brain cells then just raw back throw and *maybe* raw pk thunder I'm not sure on that or PK fire to back throw
@night niro the best part about raw pk thunder is if it actually connects your opponent feels equally or even sometimes dumber than you
Appreciate all of your tutorials. Been watching them for years. Love hearing ways to help my mind during a match.
So glad I found your channel at the beginning of Ultimate. Keep it up, BananaBoy!

Great video! I literally use all these techniques on every fighting game I play.
Plus it was fast to the point and it has a ton of replay value.
Thanks for this video

Ayyyeee another upload that helps me and the community become a better player. So glad you started your channel because without it i wouldnt be the player i am today. Keep up the amazing content
This video is REALLY good for people who play characters who can struggle to kill. When I play Sheik (I don't main her but I play her for fun sometimes) I start fishing for her kill confirms at high percents, but when I don't fish for them I land alot more kills and instead of killing them at like 130% I usually kill them at like 90% instead
I really quite like your editing style. Nice editing style bro.
0:00 WHOA WHOA WHOA ROBOT BANANABOY
Oh hell yeah, Better's about to catch these hands.
Oh I need this. My opponents often live past 150%
This is a great video on Yomi without ever using the term. These types of reactions and reads exist in every fighting game, but I think smash showcases it pretty well.
That patented TG Static/Leon back hits of Bowser nair to back air true combo kill confirm in the intro made my little Koopa heart smile.
Yo I love the educated yoshi art in the video!!!
This channel is top tier💯
Great video! These are all really helpful!
I feel like I play the exact same against every fighter and every character, and I feel like it’s holding me back. I main DeDeDe. Any tips?
Falling Nair combos into back air or up air near death % and ledge trap with gordo and f tilt or down smash to cover roll
Also try and be aware of their habits in order to know how to optimally ledge trap. Also try and look up some pro game play and guides on TH-cam because their is a lot of them and they're free to use
I mean, we gotta know how you're playing to tell you what to do differently. Off the top of my head it would be use nair more as a landing option maybe, and try reading roll getups more with an f smash or the one that makes the hammer like blue and mechanical or whatever
Domotron 35 I could link a past livestream if you want
@@TheStellarJay going off what domotron said that can help but also not being predictable is also crucial cause if you do the same thing 13 times they will catch on and punish so be aware of your habits and try to mix up your options from recovery to neutral
THANK YOU!
I was just playing a match and could not get a KO and I was getting high into the KO percentage as well. So I told myself to just play the match and wait for that opportunity because of this video and I won! Thank you for the advice!
Could you make an early/suprise kill tips video? Like getting sick spikes or gimmick kills or di mix ups? This video mostly covered high percent/not fishing.
I agree with not being overly concerned about killing if you can win neutral/stage control, but what about the dreaded Marthritis? If I'm consistently getting opponents over 180% before taking the stock, I think I'm working too hard and am focusing too much on neutral. This is said as a Melee Marth and Ultimate Dark Samus. Loving these videos Bananaboy! Keep it up!
Great video. Not that BB is the one that needs to do this, but a video/list of every character's kill setups and kill moves would be incredible
Last clip is of melee... There is truly no escape from such a great game.
Me, a Bowser main, with every move killing ridiculously early: This really helped! Thanks!
Thank you for this video! Thanks for your time and your work :)
Wait, so I can't just spam smash attacks and hope for the best?
But doriyah
little mac
@@hhhhhh-vi6sq Little Mac's forwards smash is by far the weakest in the game.
You can but you need to charge them cause that way they work like a magnet and the enemy will run into it.
If your wolf then sure it'll work
Hero’s Dair crit upsmash normally kills at 30, but oomph makes it kill at like twenty or less
Banana boy: “it’a good to know which moves of yours kill”
Me as a Pac-Man Main: Hydrant
I remember how tirelessly I practiced in Training Mode. I would do it NONSTOP, Monday-Sunday without breaks until I mastered my character and studied up on his attack patterns and kill options, especially how he KO'd his opponents at high and low percentages. It took me only five seconds to master Sephiroth. When I was finally finished with my weekend-long training, I went into Smash and Tourney Mode and I surprisingly won A TON of fights thanks to all of the ruthless training I did with my main.
I’m loving the HGSS OST!
As a bowser main, I feel privileged by your frequent use of bowser in your videos.
Yo this well edited & succinct as fuck. Nicely done
I literally have the same name as your cat, also, thanks for the guide. It helps a lot
No one:
BananaBoy:

*shows ganondorf who has a kill guarantee on every move
0:21 LUL THE REFERENCES.
bananaboy : this shouldn't take too long
also bananaboy : shows Eminem's revival
shots fired
for game and watch the double up smash is really good because your opponent will almost always rush in after the first up smash and the same thing applies to down smash
With the whole: Change your strategy thing, Puff can benefit from this one when landing with D-air. If you see the person always shielding, you can grab or pound if you know their shield is low. If they go for a quick and easy attack, go for Rest unless the final hit lands, then go for a follow up aerial.
for any ganon mains out there a nice kill option I like is dash back forward smash. I find it works especially well when the opponent is on the ledge or is shielding. The key is to know exactly when to forward smash because you can outspace most moves the opponent has to punish you so you really need to get the tip pretty much every time for it to work. I haven't seen any pros do it but it works for me so hopefully, it works for you too.
Survivor. Great show.
A mii brawler guide, finally
Thanks, I needed this vid, was playing Ike A while back, and I felt like I was only using up smash for kills. Even so he basically kills with everything.
This is gonna help my Mii Brawler gaming.
Great video
I like how he talks about the nerf didn’t do much. As pal mains that makes all of us proud
Thank you! You inspired me to start playing Yoshi!
I would've also mentioned that it's incredibly important to know your Oki. In smash this translates to ledge traps, tech chases and any untrue combos your character might have. Knowing them well can lead to consistently taking stocks. Exploiting something like Snake's ledge pressure will consistently get you the kill at about 100%. It's one of the main differences between mid- and high level players.
I agree, you never wanna force a kill. If you can consistently get a hit solely b/c your foe is in disadvantage you are winning. Eventually they will die from high percentage and thats ultimately what you want
Shulk: hold my Smash Art
Nice videos ! I know I am late but I'd love to play with you one of these days !
that cat is so cute that i want to lightly pet it in a comfortable fashion so it has maximum enjoyment
Bowser Nair to Bair is one of my favourite kill confirm but my favourite match finisher is wolf flash spike
Thank you for your service to this country
After a year of studying, I've finally found the answer!
Play Ganon, Roy, or Incineroar.
Great video as always, but I was wondering,
Can you do a video about Match Ups? Like how must people think to decide that Lucina vs Ness is +2?
It would be very useful, because it's an important thing to learn but it is not covered in depth by Smash TH-camrs, except for Match Ups Charts.
Thank you in advance. :)
Needle buff really helps Sheik with an up smash confirm or ftilt into drag down confirm
Hey Bananaboy I really do enjoy the content that you drop here on TH-cam it really help my mental with this game. Just wanted to let ya know. Also I've been trying to look for local scenes where I live (SC) but can't find any. I did everything you said in that one video for finding tournaments in your area but no luck. Would you help me out a bit?
You should do some specific character breakdowns. It would be cool to see in depth opinions on characters *incineroar cough cough*
BananaBoy: makes this video
Me: *laughs in Bayo*
I saw Ganondorf in the video, I was like boi, all of his attacks kill
A good one for DK is to cargo back throw since it is really good for DI mixup
How to K.O. Better:
The Kid named Better: *sweating profusely*
Biggest tip overall though is learn to adapt to your opponents and punish them for their bad habits. With fox I've had plenty of people immediately air dodge when hit with dash so I'd wait for the air dodge and punish. Or when hit with dash near the ledge they would jump from the ledge and I catch them with up air.
Adapting is important
When he whispered “Why is that so important?” I thought that was me.
Video: Know your best kill moves
Bayo players: ...
... We don't really have any tbh
Lawrence Santillan Side B?
8:36 I'm going to try that. As a 120K GSP Mario main trying to improve I can use all the help I can get :p
I've gotten a lot better recently but I've been having a really hard time closing out stocks since people have also gotten better at noticing my setups which is a huge part of the reason I've been doing worse lately despite the improvements. While this video didn't really say anything I didn't already know just hearing it again should help me out a lot.

Tip for Game & Watch: up smash...they always land into it. It's a magnet
A thing that didn't occur to me for far too long:
If you're a beginner or you just suck like me, you probably look at the damage dealt vs received after a round as a metric of how you did, but realize that a high dealt vs received ratio or big numbers in general often just means you weren't closing out stocks when you could.
