    Before, Gimr just released character specific tech and hoped it's get implemented (Snake Dthrow combos, Mew2 aerial side b combos, Banjo get up attack). A lot of his tech took months or YEARS to see use at the top level (Tech chase 50-50, Byleth Ledge trap, ICs infinite, etc)
    Now with slingshot, Gimr's putting out multiple videos explaining one tech. If this doesn't show how much Gimr believes in this tech IDK what will.
    Keep it up. I hope someone wins Momocon because of Slingshot or at least is more dominant because of Slingshot.

    I commented on another video about how you can perform slingshot with the C-stick and some people might find that easier considering its less inputs and they also don’t have to flick anything since you can just hold the C-stick, but understandable if you don’t wanna talk about that.

      Like, you can buffer it, instead of having to frame perfect an irar for max airspeed. Which is what makes it so good for shield pressure escapes (on top of hurtbox shifting for characters like sheik or mewtwo), and since you can buffer it the variance created by sheildstun is easier to time after so its pretty cool.
      Also pedantically "slingshot" refers to just the stick inputs, not the jump, so also the grounded pivot grab isnt irar at all really and thats technically slingshot tech.
      Of course some characters dont benefit much but thats life. Its often bcuz they were already exceptional at those things, so they dont need it. Like metaknight can already just jump or dashback and get out of oos options so it doesnt help him there much, but again thats cuz hes already good at that in a way many characters arent/werent. A character like falco or dk who often ends combos with a back air really appreciates having 7 frames instead of 1, even if the result "turn around full speed back air" is identical from either irar or slingshot, and characters with the aforementioned hurtbox shifting like slingshot a lot.

    The more I use this, the more I realize certain characters were prone to using this.
    A lot of Shulk players have been using this to attack with back air.
    I've been using it with ZSS and Samus neutral B. In fact I think most decent Samus players used it for at least Neutral B.
    Gimr seeing this and giving it a name is what really changed everything. Because now the public is very conscious of what is being done. That's the first necessary step in developing a skill further.
    Additionally, figuring out it can take advantage of the buffer system was the true genius part in all this. I think people will eventually begin to argue that X was already doing this anyway, but Gimr is the one gave it life (by naming it) and discovered a very important technical aspect of the technique that makes it more than a reverse aerial.

    Are you comparing this input vs doing a iRAR like forward, back+jump from a standing position? I have never seen anyone actually do it that way, in fact I always have heard and seen many videos that explain that you need to buffer dash then up+back+jump to link Wolf's fair into bair or Roy's Jab into bair. Even characters like Cloud hold down+back or up+back to space bair. This to me seems like the exact same thing as irar? How is it not the same, since most weren't really using it in the "frame perfect" way anyway? I feel like everyone already knew how to slingshot Palutena's down throw to bair since 2019.

    I'm sitting here in training mode mod, with inputs turned on so I know I'm doing it right, and I don't see any significant benefit of this vs just RAR. I've tried multiple characters, rolled them on the left edge of training stage, did both RAR and Slingshot and the distance I get is essentially the same.
    What am I missing? For the RAR I'm pressing fwd, within a few frames pressing back and jump on the same frame and letting it snap back to neutral asap. For the slingshot I'm pressing fwd, within a few frames pressing down back and jump within a couple frames of each other, letting the stick snap back to neutral. Same distance, every time. With a short hop.

    Maybe Gimr didn't mention it to avoid confusion but you can get a Slingshot by pushing your control stick anywhere from down back to very slightly back of down not just in the down back gate like the diagrams imply.

    • @SadFace229
      @SadFace229 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I found that when I aim to flick back from the initial dash, if I aim closer to 6 o'clock (which feels like 7 o'clock to me assuming my initial dash is 9 o'clock) I'll get the back jump animation. When I aim to down back in the diagram (let's say 5 o'clock), I end up with the regular jump animation as I do the slingshot. I am going to assume that I actually end up overshooting the threshold in the latter when I aim for the down back in the diagram.
      Reading the comments, I guess I'm accidentally IRAR then? I suppose I'll keep practicing to get the slingshot perfectly just in case the animation changes the hurtbox to protect me then.
