5:00 Very late reply, Diakou discovered the combo but wasn't able to input it, so he asked dobrein (who is russian) for help and after diakou got hit by the combo which dobrein was able to input he said that it felt as if he was getting attacked by the russian mob Some details are surely lost to time but something about them discovering it together and then diakou getting destroyed by dobrein
Great guide. For some reason so many guides never say what you should be looking for in neutral and this did. I’m low diamond and don’t play much hammer so that was much appreciated as I was having trouble figuring out how close to play when my main weapons play so much differently.
As a semi decent hammer player (2400) that just picked up sentinel not to long ago hammer is generally best played slower and more grounded (this does not mean u can’t pressure or use aerials). It’s has some pretty bad matchups and those tend to be the ones u want to play slower and more grounded. Incorporating cross up sairs in neutral when they float around that in-between height, to catch ppl weapon throwing down, and ppl who come back to stage at that in-between height or dodge into the stage at that in-between height is a really good option that hammer players should learn how to use. Using slight to wall your opponent out is crucial a good bit of the time, dash jump dairs to catch opponents who constantly dash jump or dash towards u In neutral, jump dair to catch ppl trying to punish, and falling with nairs if your opponent is jumping are all things I would recommend a new hammer player to learn. AND JUST LIKE HE SAID IN THE VIDEO DONT FALL WITH A SAIR EVERYTIME U LAND, it’s a terrible habit that is easily exploitable. The answer a lot of the time is just to reset neutral or go back and watch your replays and see how u got in the that position in the first place (you’ll prolly find that ur jumping a lot for no reason). Hope some of this helped.
5:30 even though the game doesn't give points out to style, its still a good way to demoralise your opponent or better yet, tilt them forcing them to loose focus.
Magyar is criminally underrated. Like tripped said, his nsig will cover his upwards weakness like sentinel. If you dont like liw dex on hammer, just play dex stance because 8 defense is still really good.
4:25 breh as a 2160 Magyar main: A) nlight slight is true on every dex down to 2 dex tero (as long as u dash and don’t chase dodge) B) Cassidy is extremely tapped, especially on 9 dex. On her hammer u can easily get 3-5 hit true combos, they aren’t that hard to hit. And on blasters on white dlight ssig is true which does like 40 damage
@@TrippedUpCassidy is better than Magyar, and even Sentinel when it comes to Hammer what are you on shes one of the best Hammer's like Thor and Bodvar she also has dlight nsig which is true on every health
@@DrakoNotDraco I’m not talking about just hammer kit though, I’m factoring in their second weapon too. Magyar is definitely better than Cassidy, many people are beginning to use and dominate with Magyar. And Cassidy’s hammer kit is similar strength to Sentinel’s, but when you factor in the second weapon, Sentinel becomes way better. At the end of the day though, it’s just my opinion. No one said you had to agree with it
@@TrippedUp meh tbh I think most of the hammer legends are on pretty even footing, they’re all pretty good. The gap between them is so small I don’t even think it’s worth considering the best from the worst. Also blasters are still an insane weapon, especially Cassidy’s blasters, I definitely don’t think her blasters are the worst, looking at ssig and dsig especially. Cassidy is an insane legend. But most hammer legends are also insane 🤔 Also there was days like 2 years ago where u could get 4 hit true combos on both her weapons. And dlight ssig still being true on her blasters and doing 40 dmg is a mockery. She also has 4 hammer sigs now and her new dsig is quite insane in my opinion. Blasters nsig can catch ppl out sometimes but tbf it’s not great. I think she’s on the same level as kor and magyar maybe. Most of the others are ever so slightly better. As I main Magyar, Magyar is certainly very strong, his hammer sigs are the worst of all hammer legends, but again, still pretty solid sigs. And also his sigs aren’t really why I play him. A) GS is overpowered as fck (carried me to 2159 with 0 losses last season) B) he’s the coolest looking legend in the game by far C) His stats are pretty fckn broken. D) His gs sigs r kinda insane, I prefer them to makos gs sigs tbh. E) his hammer sigs are still good just not the best. Meh that’s my opinion on the matter, enough said really.
@@StrayChoomhow does Cassidy have 4 hammer sigs now? I also think that her old hammer sig kit was better. And even though he was my first real main, so I’ll always have love for him, I think Gnash’s hammer kit is the worst in the game. Also just like, my opinion, man. Cheers 🍻
Bro great guide Tysm this hammer is so understated, I swear bro that there is litterly no one I fight uses hammer, super understated and op for edge camping. Your awesome, earned a sub and like.
While I discovered this guide late, one thing I want to say to player want to main the weapon is that your dair and recover hit slightly behinds where you standing, a lot of people have the miss conception that they hit directly above or below you it infact doesn’t, it follow a grab move archetype as long as a pixel hit you or near you it considered a grab unlike normal move that you neat to actually hit to register a hit
The only thinh i can say is: wait for opponent in stage when he tries to get back do Dlight rec, if the hand cap is too high you do a small jump before the rec
its not a good kill option, but dash jump dair and grounded dair isn't bad for killing if your opponent likes to stay grounded. also game might not necessarily reward style points, but styling with hammer is arguably the easiest way to get an opponent on tilt and therefore lose focus, so i like to tell people if you have a full stock to toy with, or if they are white try to style them, make em lose it and you come out on top. people expect style from a scythe or greatsword but when it comes from a heavy weapon like hammer or cannon it can make em a bit salty.
seems like no one's mentioned it yet, the Russian Mafia was named after Dobrein (I'm sure u know him) cos he's Russian and he first found and utilised the move really good guide, there's some lil things here and there like reversing dair after d-light and n-light s-light being true on all legends, but I love how u talk about actual hammer gameplay instead of just moves and combos
9 dex Cassidy hammer is by far the best weapon the the game and it's not even close, calling her the worst is just flat out wrong considering she has more options than every hammer legend, sidelight into dash light is unjumpable and that removes hammers sair 50/50. Sidelight into dash light being true is also really good, imma list some more things that only Cassidy has Nair recovery Dsig dash nsig Sair dlight And probably more things. Being a hammer main and not saying Cassidy is just throwing
I’m just not convinced by that, if it was really “the best weapon in the game” then plenty of pros would be using 9 dex Cassidy, yet there’s nobody using her. Of course, I’m not saying Cassidy is bad. But when I compare her to all the other hammer legends, I feel like the others have more going for them. Maybe if blasters weren’t the worst weapon in the game she would be better, but I don’t see any reason to use her over any other hammer legend. The true combos that she gets are negligible in my opinion because all you really need to succeed with hammer are its bread and butter combos + offstage capabilities
True combos aren't everything, yes the damage is great but at what cost? She has very low speed making it hard to space/punish people (given, hammer is a weapon that is a little more stationary in how you play it, so low speed is less of an issue), her attack/def is middling to mediocre (stats that hammer especially appreciates to make trading with it EXTREMELY unfavorable), and her blasters kit is very underwhelming (low speed is a MASSIVE issue on blasters, and outside ssig her blasters sigs are meh). The true combos can really stack on damage at white, but hammer isn't exactly strapped for high damage true combos. In fact, dlight sair is usually considered the most rewarding true combo in the game, while dlight slight/dlight dair put the opponent in extremely uncomfortable positions. If there is one redeeming factor she has, it's that her hammer nsig and ssig are unapologetically busted... is what I would say if they didn't indirectly nerf ssig by making its charge version the much worse tornado her dsig used to be.
im a blasters main (diamond) but i have played a bunch of Cassidy cuz u know even tho she is mad slow shes cool, this video is super good, I'd say that mastering the art of grounded nair is a great tool for killing, caching ppl landings etc so yea
legend tells (or rather it's what i've heard) that it's called "the Russian Mafia" because either it was Dobrein who discovered it or the one who taught it to the masses first

Litteralllyy recently startered to 2nd main magyar people get so mad when they get slammed hes so slept on
btw for the dair, the hitbox starts right behind you so when doing dlight dair, you should rotate for the dair so you can hit them backwards
agreed. it's called an x-pivot and also works on other moves/combos on hammer and other weapons as well
I was just about to say
how do i do an dash jump without doing an chase dodge after hitting the dlight????
@@muriloprado6610 hold S or any down button youre using while jumping, since you cant dash into the ground, it will make it a dash jump!

I have no idea why, but Gnash was the one who made me interested in learning hammer more than scythe, it just feels so good on him.
Ive been maining magyar but only used the greatsword, finally leveling up my play and learning hammer
The only thinh i can say is: wait for opponent in stage when he tries to get back do Dlight rec, if the hand cap is too high you do a small jump before the rec
The best guide on TH-cam.

12:55 W video grandpa lol
Im high gold for 2 years but using hammar got me 2100 elo ❤❤
Got a like on the vid for the lil history lesson about hammer at the start alone 😂
13 minutes too long make it 30 seconds and add subway surfers
legend tells (or rather it's what i've heard) that it's called "the Russian Mafia" because either it was Dobrein who discovered it or the one who taught it to the masses first
I really love playing with hammer on Bödvar, yet i kinda suck at it frfr
Helpful vid and dLight GC nLight is true also
Dawg hammer and axe are my worst enemies in brawlhalla especially as a console player so thx for the tips on hammer
Too much information go through my brain is frying 😂 W vid btw
I used recovery one time against a sweat he was pushing me off the map I swapped our places and I won somehow ty hammer
Thanks
1:02 what hammer skin is this?? And how do I get it?? I need the butterfly net ASAP!!
It’s the jellyfish net from the Patrick crossover
Where my yumiko mains at?
Could you please rank other weapons skins? Like bow, katars and others. That's rly interesting
I’m gonna do hammer skins very soon
5:06 bro i spent like 30 mins learning this few months back....ur telling me its not true anymore?
It’s not
The 1st part is true ...dlight cd rec is true ig
how do i do the dlight jump dair it just chase dodges when i try to jum on top of him
I’m a bodvar main and I need advise. Just, anything.
Does the Russian Mafia work with every legend? 4:57
Will we get a katars vid like this too? Currently also maining sentinel
Yes I will be doing one in the near future
@@TrippedUp nice nice
Once again coming back to game cuz sandstorm
Thanks for the tutorial, also what elo are you?
This made sense !!!!! ( :
bow guide next? 👀
where does yumiko stand as a hammer legend?
do a jump cd tutorial pls,i cant do that
calling cassidy the worst hammer legend is crazy when she has two 4-hit true combos that work up to 50dmg and are easy to hit
Maybe, but she has the worst secondary in the game right now and every other hammer legend has more going for them
I get bodied when I use any other hammer character that's not Cassidy I'm 2100 btw
I know bro didn't say Cassidy is the worst hamer legend with a straight face
Straight as an arrow
Me who uses yumiko as a hammer character💀
get jiggy with it
Cassidy as current worse? Id say Magyar is the current worse hes better for his GS than hammer
Don't diss my pokie magyar
nlight slight is true above 4 dex
what health should i be setting the bot too to practice the russian mafia
Orange
@ thank you but i have figured it out
i got it posted 13 days ago
My problem is that I cant use down light that often bc my enemies are jumping nonstop or spaming their sig moves.
wait, this isnt the source sdk tutorial.
Hammer ain't bad
What elo are you?
My peak is 2400
Well uhm ACSWUALLY ITS 13 minutes and 25 seconds so uhm... INVALID VIDEO.
Burg says hi
I main Cassidy she isn’t bad 😭
I didn’t say she is, she’s a good legend. However I think she’s the worst of the hammer legends currently
first
Its called a grapple hammer why tf
probably because it can "grapple" people (recov and dair)
Ok
