I’m super late to the party with this video, but as a samus main, I want to say that this was one of the most helpful smash ultimate videos I’ve ever seen. I’ve accidentally done the tether cancel with samus before, but had no idea how to replicate it until now.
I know this way later but i saw a samus do a hanging tether, they cancelled it did a b reverse charge shot and then recovered. Potential style use and kill from really low
You can also swing with it. I've done it in her stage, the one with fire and the platforms break up, and release at the peak of the swing uptown completely bypassing ledges.
In smash 4 this was prominently done with Lucas, there's a whole video about 'snakeskipping' and they say it's possible with all tethers but Lucas gets the most mileage. Possible in ultimate, though I think it was better in smash 4. Edit: th-cam.com/video/0kSBVJ7kNAE/w-d-xo.html
It does indeed. Just know that if you use it while you're descending instead of right after your double jump you're going to end up fast falling. He's floaty enough that using it to cover someone's recovery is less risky than some other characters though
I actually remember discovering this accidentally just by messing around in training. It was really cool in my opinion so I use this a lot in competitive at school
I accidentally did it with Ivysaur so I'm pretty sure with some practice it's doable. Managing to use that to lure an opponent into a down-air would be sick as hell..
so i did this accidently during a match but instead of just slowly landing on the stage in front of him, i teleported right behind him. i wonder if you can pull that off consistantly? i cant remember what inputs i did. i kinda just flicked buttons lol.
Young Link can do this with his tether too. I've never done it intentionally though, but after seeing this I definitely wanna lab it out and try to see how I can use it to my benefit. Thanks.
Hey there, It's essentially about having the tether reach the ledge, and then flicking down on the analog stick to cancel it at any point before your character pulls themselves in. Holding the direction might accidently lead to a fast fall, so just a quick flick will do the trick. Jumping right before tethering with a floaty character like Samus means you have more time and maneuverability before canceling the tether. Faster falling characters don't have quite as much leeway. If you hold away or forward during the ascent of your jump tether, then you can pull back away from the ledge before canceling, or fly further into the stage depending on what direction you're holding.
It's looking like it works the same way as Samus' tether, just feels a little different. Could be good to bait with it when edgeguarding because of how floaty he is and how far his Up B can go to get you back to stage
Depends on which character you're using and whether or not they're tethering with their grab or their up-special. Characters such as Samus and Lucas use their grab, while Ivysaur and Joker use up-special. If you haven't changed your buttons around, grab (and grab tethering) is set to the SL button on a single joy-con, so the trigger on the left side, but you have to be within a certain range for it to snap to the ledge. Hope this helps
Say what you want about Samus but her slipperiness on the ground, tether, and down b give her some of the coolest tech in the game

"Interesting" says me, a Little Mac main
Lol still go to know if you play random
I have been trying to figure out this tech for a while now! Thank you! Mkleo does this with his joker for a fantastic mixup!
Oh wow I didn't know he had been using it, do you know any specific matches he used it in?
@@suavepuppygaming6038 th-cam.com/video/bmTVCtsKSeI/w-d-xo.html I think he does one at 2:14
@@suavepuppygaming6038 Yeah, he also uses it with Byleth and it's cool and useful af.
This works with Zero suit Samus too, mars used it in genesis 7!!
Funnily enough, I'm writing the script for Byleth's Up B as we speak, and I'm gonna cover ZSS in the video too. Party on G P.
SuavePuppyGaming nice, I subbed so I’ll watch it when it come out
Most of the time when I tether to the ledge is to avoid a follow up hit, but if you just go toward the stage you are going to eat a fsmash
I know this way later but i saw a samus do a hanging tether, they cancelled it did a b reverse charge shot and then recovered. Potential style use and kill from really low
Samus is so cool 😭 thank you so much for this informative video ❤
I’ve done this a couple of times by accident, and always try to repeat it, thanks for giving an idea on how to do this.
Years later... Double jump cancel zair for Lucas...
You can also swing with it. I've done it in her stage, the one with fire and the platforms break up, and release at the peak of the swing uptown completely bypassing ledges.
Actually super helpful cus u can avoid ur get up roll , off ledge , from being punished because ur landing on stage instead.
Also faster in some cases

Does anyone know how to cancel Joker's up B?
Ty for the informative video!
Hey no problem homie
Im a samus main and always thought it was a glitch cause i always did that sometimes
I wonder if this works for Lucas' tether as well... gonna have to try this later when I get my controller fixed

Does this work with every character I have only really seen this done with ivysaur but could never figure out how it’s done because the lack of videos

Did you get it with young link ? I just saw wishes doing something like that and started looking into it
You can do it with young link and if you immediately follow up with a fire arrow it makes for a good unexpected option with follow ups
@@johnkuhry9246 yeah I got it now and you could also just cancel the tether into any ariels
Thanks for telling me about this I'm sure toon link and Lucas can Probably do it too
This also works with Tink and Yink.
Tink and Yink 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ say toon link and young link like a normal human being you nerd

Hans Holo something wrong with saying tink and yink?
@@officialjokker124 absolutely
Wow do you do it whit joker
It’s hard at first ut was how he explained it for me I just held down while I was rising and I landed on stage (BTW im using Lucas for this)
Why is no one talking about this
Spread the word so that someone may be able to compete with Leo one day
Cool tech
I always end up doing this by accident. Thanks I can do it on purpose now
Thanks man
So is it a matter of tether, then holding analog stick in an appropriate direction once you've grabbed ledge?
Hey there,
It's essentially about having the tether reach the ledge, and then flicking down on the analog stick to cancel it at any point before your character pulls themselves in. Holding the direction might accidently lead to a fast fall, so just a quick flick will do the trick.

Oh, young Link can do it too great
Byleth?
Does this tech is in Melee? I think I saw a video talking about a tech from Samus from Melee
YO that's sick as FUK
Why is this so hard to do holy shit
0:20 who else hears a click here?
That's just how tethers work lol
Can you do this with Lucas
I'll do some testing tomorrow and I'll let you know what I find
It's looking like it works the same way as Samus' tether, just feels a little different. Could be good to bait with it when edgeguarding because of how floaty he is and how far his Up B can go to get you back to stage
Tried it and it works beautifully with samus, but how do you do it Joker? I've seen mkleo styling with it.
Hey thanks for letting me know it's working for you. I just released a video on how to do it with joker, hopefully it helps
How do you tether? (I play on a single joycon)
Depends on which character you're using and whether or not they're tethering with their grab or their up-special.
