They have invisible barriers of differing shape/size under them that are perfectly permeable to everything but air that add wind resistance to alter their fall speeds.
Thank you. This was probably the most comprehensive guide I've found, and I'm grateful that you were directly to the point and explained everything so clearly and concisely
I didn't know that was even directional influence, every time I got sent flying I just hold the opposite direction hoping I don't die by instinct lmfao
It's actually improper DI, opposite doesn't change your DI whatsoever. it never worked that way in old smash games either. What you do is hold the direction perpendicular. Lotta people get DI wrong, cuz they don't do their HW. We have YEARS of datamining online to explain this kind of stuff. So you get hit left, best DI would be UP and angle the stick towards the top corner that you get hit towards, so left side would be UP and TOP LEFT CORNER, right side vice versa. You always want to be higher than the stage too when recovering for the most part, cuz it will give you MANY more options for recovery than just from below the stage.
It’s been in the game since the start and was most important in melee and sm4sh. This guide is ok and all but the real way to learn imo is to follow the comp scene. Check it out! U might like it
Thank you. Straight to the point. It's rare to get videos like these now days, with everyone trying to stretch it out for view time. Seriously good stuff keep it up. Good timing, transitions, nice windows in between to let the information sink in.
Awesome video. I’ve played a lot of fighting games. But when I first played this game, it was so confusing. Thanks for making this video. Been watching your videos since The Division came out.
As someone who's been playing all the Smashes since N64, this workshop guide is still mega useful, I couldn't figure out how to parry before except on accident, and I keep on forgetting about the extended grab. Good work Arrekz!
Could you discuss more on how to do 2 things (I'm a smash newb for reference) 1. How do you effectively recover from hits off the map? I feel like no matter how much I jump, I cant get back on the stage. 2. How do you do those amazing "off the stage" attack combos you do throughout this video then get back on stage easily? Those 2 things i really want to know more about. These videos are awesome btw! Thank you!
1. Every character has a couple of tools to help recover: jumps and up specials (some characters have more tools like extra jumps and also their other specials), but how good each option is entirely depends on the character (little mac will never go off-stage because his recovery options suck and jigglypuff is basically always floating off-stage and in the air). 2. Whether your character can combo off-stage depends on how good they can recover after. Once you get a feel for how far you can go with your character before it becomes impossible to come back you'll start to get the hang of which attacks you can use off-stage to edgeguard.
Edgeguarding is really just practice ... pick ur main and go in training and just practice how to effectifly use ur arials ao the enemy cant get back on stage
Monado Max One good tip I can offer is to not use your jumps at the first possibility, like mashing jump when launched off the stage. It's better to save the jump until you're closer to the stage. This also gives you a better opportunity to react to your opponent, who might try to attack you while you recover. When it comes to your second point, it really helps to know the moveset of most of the characters, or at least the characters that are used by the people you play with. Learn the recovery options those characters, that way you can more easily predict how they will try to get back to the stage.
as someone that started with Brawl, A.K.A. the worst game to start learning Smash Bros combat techniques, and never tried to raise my level with SM4SH, this guide means the world to me. Thank you for these good tips :)
Fastfalling is also helpful in sneaking in aerial attacks as you can fastfall in the middle of the animation and potentially catch your opponent off-guard.
Yeah fastfalling Kirby can absolutely demolish entire groups of people, especially if you can space it so you fast fall pretty much on top of their head (It almost seemed like Kirby's attack has a damage drop-off after a foot or two, I was able to 40-50% some people with a single aerial just by activating it point blank with a fast fall... More testing required but worth noting that some moves definitely work better or worse based on your speed)
You can perfect shield by normal fighting game methods as well. In Smash Ult, there are two parries: a free parry and a shieldparry. free parry: You can still pull up the shield on frame for an attack parry shieldparry: this is the one we see in the trailers and gameplay
Arekkz thanks for your videos on smash man. I watched a lot of other tutorials but I learn so much from yours because of the way you deliver. I like it that you keep the explanation short and simple. For me at least its really easy to follow. HUGE THANKS
One thing to add to fast falling, if you're in a tumble state and want to reach the ground as fast as possible, dont jump and fastfall. Instead throw out an aerial. This will cancel the tumble state allowing you to fastfall with a more offensive/defensive option than just trying to get away
@@almightygod87 Hey man, search Smash Ultimate Tournament - KOL | Konga (DK) Vs. Magister (Villager, Incineroar) DPOTG18 SSBU WR2 in youtube. The first match with Donkey Kong vs Villager has some beautiful parries. You might really like it.
@@boyapollo808 b revering, footstooling and parrying are not in melee, melee has powershielding, which while similar to parrying has differences both functionally and in how you perform it. While di is most diffenetly in melee ultimate uses a different di system, in melee for survival di you hold perpendicular to stage, ultimate has the di system from smash 4 were you just hold towards the stage. So no I wouldn't say this was all in melee.
@@q7nator847 I guess that's pretty fair to say B-turnarounds are a thing for sure, you see them with falco lasers fairly commonly, one important difference though is that in melee you can only do them in the air, where as in ultimate you can do them grounded as well.
I have a question, on how to use DI, do I have to continually tap the stick in that direction or I only need to keep the stick in that direction (do it once)??
I’m so glad this exists. I never knew what the computers were doing when they would counter my attacks. I had no idea I could pull this off on purpose. I did it once by accident and I had no idea what I did.
Solid video. It’s a good start for intermediate players. The DI part is accurate since Smash 4. The best ways to DI in games prior to 4 are up and toward the stage (when hit horizontally) for survival and down and away from the opponent (when you’re breaking a combo). If you’re hit vertically, you should move towards either side. Holding the stick in the same direction you just came from will not impact your trajectory until after you have completed the knockback. I recommend checking out DI tutorials by SSBM Tutorials or Beefy Smash Doods if anyone is interested in learning more. Edit: Fixed DI comment as I was misinformed (see reply) and fixed channel reference name
I need to apologize for a couple mistakes here: 1) One of the channels referenced was incorrectly called “Beefy Smash Dudes” instead of “Beefy Smash Doods” (the latter is correct 2) DI, as discussed in the video, is mostly correct. Since Smash 4, DIing directly toward the stage when being hit horizontally is best and DIing to one side or the other is still best for vertical hits. I was misinformed about DI for Smash 4 since I did not play much of it.
man i love you youre the best Arrekz having all this said aloud is wonderful to getting people to understand this this needed to happen sooner thank you for your service
You can also do parry by pulling up your shield before the attack lands, instead of holding and then releasing the shield when the attack lands, you press shield to have it up for a small window (the timing is little bit before what you would have to do with holding your shield and then dropping it). This will have your shield drain less compared to holding your shield since the longer it is out it will deplete.
...you need to have your shield up before the attack lands either way, how long you hold your shield up is ultimately up to you. The main thing to take away from this is how to execute it. Releasing the shield as you are getting hit. Keyword: releasing. Your comment might misinform some folk just by the wording
@@krlhgn Yea I see what you mean, it is misleading to say "press shield before the attack" since to land the parry it is the release of the shield at the correct time and the only point in pressing shield before the attack is to save on shield durability, not pressing shield to parry. Thank you for clarifying it.
The proper way to di is always inverse the direction your hit thats survival di for example you got hit horizontally the best di si vertically combo di is generally away from the stage hope this helps
hey can you go over the different attack types like Tilts / Smash / Jabs and what their advantages to being used are? I dont know why I should use different attacks, and when I should use them. thanks
It's extremely character dependent, but in general: jabs > tilts > smashes in terms of speed and smashes > tilts > jabs in terms of damage/knockback. Again, what moves you will be relying on depend heavily on the character you choose, so it's best to go in to practice mode with the character youre interested in using to see how their moves work. From there it is a matter of adjusting how you play to suit the playstyle of your character. (or you can try somebody else)
Jab/tilts/smashes should be used depending on the situation. Jabs/tilts are generally good for safe pressure while on the offensive or during the neutral game. The specific jabs/tilts are character dependent. Smash attacks are generally an unsafe option because of how long it takes to recover after using one. I suggest only using them when you can read an opponents pattern and know youll hit them with one.
@Disco Puppy im running into similar stuff, need more time in the traning room with shulk to memories the attack areas of each of his attacks because i can't seem to hit people below me or above me very often because their attack area is either a tad longer than mine or reachers me from outside my attack area. For example up B is great but several times i have had someone do a N air right above me and because of the area it hits it would hit me before i hit them, thus smashing me out. At first this game looks like a simple party brawler but it's got tones of mechanics and things to learn/understand just like any of your fighter games like tekken and street fighter.
@Disco Puppy i got to 8.6 in challenge mode but get my butt kicked down to 26k rating in online with the same character. what's with australias online?
@Disco Puppy im in brisbane, and i have only had a couple matches with those issues so im probably getting matched with mostly people in brisbane. so i don't think it's just the lag. i think im just bad at this point.
practice the basics, that's the most important thing with smash. All these guys who are making tutes who never played smash before are making it seem like "learn this tech and then you win". Naw smash is a game when you can die from 2 hits. You have to learn the basics, like spacing, combo starters, combo moves, kill moves, movement speeds, etc. There's a lot to learn than just turn around side Bs and whatnot.
Ok for the special attack, you DON'T have to turn around. Hold the opposite direction of what you are facing and when you are ready to use it, your character will turn around when you shoot or swing or whatever your characters B move is. Second, you DON'T have to be at peak point to fast fall, you can even wait until you are falling to fast fall.
I believe that there was a mistake for the horizontal DI part. If there was a move that sent you flying horizontally. Holding the stick in the opposite direction shouldn't really do anything at least in the other smash games. The best angle would be holding the stick in a perpendicular direction to where you get sent flying. So if you get sent to the left, holding the stick up or down would have a bigger influence then just holding right.
No the DI system for Ultimate is the same as it was in 4 where something called vectoring dominates DI when it comes to horizontal knock back. For horizontal knock back it has been tested and proven that pushing into the stage is your best bet. It also applies to a lesser extent with diagonal knock back if the horizontal component can KO. For vertical knock back however traditional DI is the way to go. A lot of people think that vectoring was completely removed in 4 because it initially was also present in vertical knock back as well, but was later patched out causing a lot of people to think vectoring had been removed entirely.
I'm confused at 2:12. You said different characters have different weights so fall downwards at different fall-speeds. But weight has nothing to do with fall-speed, because the force of gravity is exactly proportional to your weight. This sounds more like air-resistence? Like how a flat piece of paper falls slower than a crumbled-up one of the same mass.
I'm a bit confused on the VDI. So in the video, you say that if you're to the right of a stage you hold right when launched up, yet it looks like you hold left instead (7:26). Was this a mistake or am I understanding it wrong?
He meant character, not stage. Because he's on the left of Lucina, he holds down and to the left. If he was on the right of her, he'd hold down and to the right.
I understand mostly what I should be doing when I play but I'm still just stuck at around 70k GSP. What are common things that those who aren't so good, like myself, do that prevent them from getting better?
I have a question I just wanted to know if there is a glass finisher and I hold do and it slows down do I have to let go and time it again or do I just keep holding the D.I
Talking about B-Reversals, for some reason I keep doing them BY ACCIDENT! As if the stick bounced back slightly after returning it to neutral, and that was detected as a tilt. Do I have to look at my controller to calibrate it, or is it the way I handle the stick itself?
Are pivots a thing in general, or is it specifically pivot grab (as opposed to jab, dtilt, dsmash, etc)? Is di opposite, or perpendicular? Does refreshing/rapidly changing angles increase the effect?
how does perfect shielding work for ice climbers? i cant seem to get them both to not lose shield and parry. also, using joycons, is it better to use the right analog stick for smash attacks or the button inputs combined with the left analog stick?
Can't answer your question about Ice Climbers but I can say that the right stick is used for whatever you prefer. I have mine set to tilts, turned stick sensitivity on high so that I could more reliably do smash attacks. Suppose it depends on whether or not you prefer quick access to smashes or tilts.
Hello, nice video, but I saw a cpu grabbed me and lied me gently on the ground! How the heck is that possible? Can I do that? Is extremely usefull! Thank you for reply
how do you characters like Zelda or Falcon recover from being thrown off the platform once the are beneath the surface level, i see here some leaping out of thin air
Hey, I wanted to know if there's a "trick" to transition from running to walking and from running/walking to no input... besides muscle memory. I have a pretty hard time to transition between these two states consistently.
llIlIlIllIllIIllI Run > walk: As you sprint, let go of the stick completely. Then, immediately hold the stick in the direction you need to walk, but don’t flick it. Otherwise you’ll simply sprint twice. “Glide” the stick, don’t flick it.
hold stick up and a little to the right/left to walk. if tap jump is off you just be able to walk. this method can also be useful for a quick turnaround
I’m new to some of the things in the game, haven’t played since Brawl. I’m having trouble with one thing in particular. Are you supposed to use smash attacks normally even if your opponent is low damage? Or do you get their damage high with other attacks and then go for a smash attack? I’ve been using wrong I believe.
Do you change trajectory by holding perpendicularly, or is it something else in Ultimate? I'm trying to DI like I would in Melee and I'm either goofing up or something has changed because it's not working how I expect it to.
ROFLOLGAMER For horizontal launches, you hold toward the stage because vectoring from Smash 4 is implemented in Ultimate and is generally more useful. For vertical launches, just hold perpendicularly like normal.
Can someone help me with tilt attacks? whenever i do a tilt attack i jump, and that because i have the analog stick jump for my setting. is the only way to do an tilt attack is to get rid of this setting?
I think you’re thinking of SDI; SDI is where you shake the stick towards a certain direction to escape from combos or to just slightly influence your immediate trajectory. DI is where you’re launched and hold the stick in the desired direction.
"Different characters have different weights and following a jump they'll fall at different speeds". - Said the one who skipped basic physics class at the college
@@dariusreed1943There's no difference in the free fall speed among characters based on weight here, only the ones with "air". The difference is only felt once you push downwards in the air (might feel different sometimes hence how high they can get jumping) :)

Isaac Newton would be pissed.
Smash has really thick air so density must play a bigger factor in the more viscous atmosphere of Nintendo land
They have invisible barriers of differing shape/size under them that are perfectly permeable to everything but air that add wind resistance to alter their fall speeds.

A lot of people think that vectoring was completely removed in 4 because it initially was also present in vertical knock back as well, but was later patched out causing a lot of people to think vectoring had been removed entirely.
@@Sharkster_J The more you know.
Check out air DI in melee, you’ll understand a Lot more
When DIing do i hold my input or do i spam many inputs?
Joao Felipe Siqueira you hold it
Hey just want to say thanks , this game has so many thing to learn especially if you are like me and this is my first smash experiance
When thrown to the side you might also wants to press upwards, because of launch angles and stuff... Other wise the info in this video is great
This is exactly what i was looking for!
Love this series!
Steps to get good in smash
First step: Learn frames
Second step: First step is the only step
i needed this video in my life
Now this is how you do a smash guide!
This smash feels different but I'm loving it.
need the 3rd video!!! keep it up!
B Reversal. You answered my question while I was still thinking it
I'm confused at 2:12. You said different characters have different weights so fall downwards at different fall-speeds. But weight has nothing to do with fall-speed, because the force of gravity is exactly proportional to your weight. This sounds more like air-resistence? Like how a flat piece of paper falls slower than a crumbled-up one of the same mass.
It's how the game works. Lots of games arent consistent with real world physics.
Im a beginner so thx !
Would love to see more :)
I'm a bit confused on the VDI. So in the video, you say that if you're to the right of a stage you hold right when launched up, yet it looks like you hold left instead (7:26). Was this a mistake or am I understanding it wrong?
He meant character, not stage. Because he's on the left of Lucina, he holds down and to the left. If he was on the right of her, he'd hold down and to the right.
I'd love it if you could cover Edge/Ledge Canceling.
This is a really good guide
Short sweet and informative
This editing is clean 👌
Thx for this vid it really helped me!!
Can someone tell me how he did that at 5:47? Just got smash and am trynna play marth but I’m trash
Tip for fast falling: just double tap analog down it also works
Whenever you were DI when going up it seemed like you moved to the left pretty fast at the peak. Did you jump or air dodge?
With any type of DI you always want to hold perpendicular to the blast zone you’re headed towards! Don’t hold directly back it won’t help!
I understand mostly what I should be doing when I play but I'm still just stuck at around 70k GSP. What are common things that those who aren't so good, like myself, do that prevent them from getting better?
I have a question I just wanted to know if there is a glass finisher and I hold do and it slows down do I have to let go and time it again or do I just keep holding the D.I
Arekks you should make videos for the up coming god eater 3, it looks really good. I loved all your videos for monster hunter.
Ty ^^ very cool and understandable, even for a German beginner in this game :D
Talking about B-Reversals, for some reason I keep doing them BY ACCIDENT! As if the stick bounced back slightly after returning it to neutral, and that was detected as a tilt. Do I have to look at my controller to calibrate it, or is it the way I handle the stick itself?
you should add timestamps for each topic in the description (or as a pinned comment). otherwise fantastic video!
So, I'm not sure If I'm doing the B-Reversal right. Also, is there any way to do a Down B-Reversal or would that be character specific?
Are pivots a thing in general, or is it specifically pivot grab (as opposed to jab, dtilt, dsmash, etc)?
Is di opposite, or perpendicular? Does refreshing/rapidly changing angles increase the effect?
I don't understand the range advantage of a pivot grab compared to just L->R. Is the range higher but witouht a visual clue that shows it?
Thanks for the tips!!
how does perfect shielding work for ice climbers? i cant seem to get them both to not lose shield and parry. also, using joycons, is it better to use the right analog stick for smash attacks or the button inputs combined with the left analog stick?
Can't answer your question about Ice Climbers but I can say that the right stick is used for whatever you prefer. I have mine set to tilts, turned stick sensitivity on high so that I could more reliably do smash attacks. Suppose it depends on whether or not you prefer quick access to smashes or tilts.
Hello, nice video, but I saw a cpu grabbed me and lied me gently on the ground! How the heck is that possible? Can I do that? Is extremely usefull! Thank you for reply
i like the smash style motion graphic. how did u make it or where did u get it?
I heard somewhere that you freeze yourself for 8 frames and freeze them for 11 frames, making the perfect shield a 3 frame advantage
Kitsune Masahiro 狐真弘 I believe you freeze them for 11 frames + the amount of frames they would normally experience for hitting the shield
how do you characters like Zelda or Falcon recover from being thrown off the platform once the are beneath the surface level, i see here some leaping out of thin air
Can you do an in depth guide on SDI?
Hey, I wanted to know if there's a "trick" to transition from running to walking
and from running/walking to no input... besides muscle memory.
I have a pretty hard time to transition between these two states consistently.
llIlIlIllIllIIllI Run > walk: As you sprint, let go of the stick completely. Then, immediately hold the stick in the direction you need to walk, but don’t flick it. Otherwise you’ll simply sprint twice. “Glide” the stick, don’t flick it.
hold stick up and a little to the right/left to walk. if tap jump is off you just be able to walk. this method can also be useful for a quick turnaround
I’m new to some of the things in the game, haven’t played since Brawl. I’m having trouble with one thing in particular.
Are you supposed to use smash attacks normally even if your opponent is low damage? Or do you get their damage high with other attacks and then go for a smash attack? I’ve been using wrong I believe.
Dom EXE either way is fine but waiting to do smash attacks is better
Great video. Shared it
Do you change trajectory by holding perpendicularly, or is it something else in Ultimate? I'm trying to DI like I would in Melee and I'm either goofing up or something has changed because it's not working how I expect it to.
ROFLOLGAMER For horizontal launches, you hold toward the stage because vectoring from Smash 4 is implemented in Ultimate and is generally more useful. For vertical launches, just hold perpendicularly like normal.
Not going to cover Shield dropping? As far as I'm aware it's still in this game, isn't it?
Thanks man!
Your the man arekkz
Out of pure curiosity, why would you need to B reverse a Side-B, couldn't you just side B in another direction
I just want to know how do you do a smash attack in the opposite direction of your initial input
you can't, if you started a smash attack in the wrong direction just get ready to be punished
Is there a way to counter grabs?
0:15 We tech those
Our cause is just
I read the title and I thought it was going to be like the Monster Hunter Weapon Workshop for each character.
We’ll be working on those in the new year 👀
Wait what are the exact controls for grabbing
Can someone help me with tilt attacks? whenever i do a tilt attack i jump, and that because i have the analog stick jump for my setting. is the only way to do an tilt attack is to get rid of this setting?
Finally 😍😍😍
Yes!
Do you still DI with multiple inputs (stick shake)? Or is holding it just as effective now?
I think you’re thinking of SDI; SDI is where you shake the stick towards a certain direction to escape from combos or to just slightly influence your immediate trajectory. DI is where you’re launched and hold the stick in the desired direction.
Which button should I press to grab
I really want to know
Pls help
When and how will the winner for the giveaway be announced?
"Different characters have different weights and following a jump they'll fall at different speeds". - Said the one who skipped basic physics class at the college
It's video game physics ... In case you missed that day in class
@@dariusreed1943There's no difference in the free fall speed among characters based on weight here, only the ones with "air". The difference is only felt once you push downwards in the air (might feel different sometimes hence how high they can get jumping) :)
@@francischetto different characters in smash fall at different speeds. That's how the game works.
Rafael Ultramar This is a video game. Not real life. Don’t be stupid
Do b-reversals work with down B
Freezer Burn yes
I think it was classified as a perfect shield in sm4sh and it's called a parry on this game
