I look forward to the year 2024 when the player gamemode/1 reaches top 5 on PGR out of nowhere after grinding in the lab for 3 years and 6 months of tourney experience
my friend and i were talking about this, i think steve is poorly designed (he fits so weirdly in smash) and he says he’s designed very well (incredibly faithful to minecraft)
@@nathanlevesque7812 steve has so many mechanics unique to himself and causes so many weird interactions idk i don’t think he was well designed for competitive smash, but that’s not what they were going for so oh well
blocks are actually frame 4 when steve is falling. they are f6 when rising/ or when snapped to the block grid (like for example when performing NIL) EDIT: This is why it may be harder for you to PBR when falling, after all you do have 2 less frames to work with
Timestamps w/ quick summary (in progress) *0:54** - Phantom Block Reverse (PBR - kind of B-Rev./more on turnaround, but can aerial attack out)* 2:37 - PBR combos/uses (bair & fair instances, and their purpose, including mixups) *8:37** - No Impact Land (NIL - jumping and landing on a block at the right height without land impact/lag to perform inputs faster; must practice block placement, jump heights and timing)* 9:23 - NIL terminology 10:34 - Battlefield/platform instance uses of NIL *11:28 - NIL combos introduction *12:38 - 2 & 3 block NIL info (important, 2 NIL especially to understand block placement) 13:32 - 2 NIL no DI combos 14:43 - 3 NIL no DI combos 16:41 - Different NIL combos (mixup of 1, 2, 3 & 4 NIL + some PBR) *17:47 - more NIL block placement advice 18:06 - off-stage NIL block placement alternatives of Up-smash (due to block placement more shortened duration than placed above stage) *19:32 - NIL combos + DI (information) 20:08 - Up-air vs. Up-tilt 20:52 - Combo varies on different weight-list characters (e.g: Fox is heavy) *21:47** - Mine Block Cancel (mine the block you’re on to dispel it quicker; more options for Steve like safer moves/shield pressure, etc.)*
Some things ESAM mentioned in the video like the repeater block combo are no longer viable as they have been patched or different materials of the tools having different knockback/percentages, so I haven’t included specific timestamps like those. I don’t want to be long with these quick summaries too, so I didn’t include frame data for stuff like NIL block placements. I will fix these timestamps so it’s more organized. These should be enough imo.
Steve is by far the hardest character to master IMO. Kazuya’s a close second, but at least with him you only have to figure out one frame-perfect input with EWGF. With Steve, you have to master like 15 frame-perfect inputs just for *one* combo.
@@nathanlevesque7812 That’s why I said “master” instead of “use”. Steve can get by just fine without the NILs and PBRs, but learning them takes time that I am not willing to spend. xD
@@nathanlevesque7812 well he's clearly defining "mastery" as knowledge and capacity to apply all of the potentially practical tech skills, and considering both his frame-tight inputs and creative setups, Steve's potential is endless
I main Steve and you want to know how hard is to do all Those combos , So hard that you get a headache just looking at some one doing them , now imagine actually trying to practice them 🤣
Up smash doesn’t work offstage cause blocks break faster offstage. Still this is an incredible vid and I’m looking forward to terrorizing my local scene (I’ve got the 4 block NIL before this and even that freaks em out hehehe)! Thanks for this!
if you have a shoulder mapped to special and c-stick on it's easier because then you don't need to move your thumb to b, you can turn around with the control stick, and then choose what aerial you want (besides neutral air) with c-stick

This is literally happening in 2022 😭😭😭
@@bobbycool2815 LMAOOO literal acola storyline
Yeah
How does it feel
Hello from 2024
I feel like as ultimate goes on Steve will only be rising in the meta and on tier lists. Steve is insane.
yo i love your videos
You’re getting so close to having the check mark!
I can imagine in the next game he will have netherite and truly be top tier
you really predicted the future. (dry bonses would be better than steve though.)
Hey you seem really familiar
I am so glad you went over NILs. Everytime I ask a Steve player they just say "I dunno just lab it"
Steve is easily the most faithgully designed character (to his original game that is)

I’d say megaman is the most faithful but Steve up there

Thanks this is useful
Didn't Esam even say you have a 2 frame window to get it? Maybe it's the same 2!
@@2LettersSho NIL is a 2 frame window. PBR is a completely different tech. My comment was only referring to PBR, sorry for the confusion
Steve really plays like minecraft, because you just do whatever you want.

neither character requires those options and numerous other characters have frame perfect stuff that is really good

@@HawkTeevs I mean, if somebody is the best main of a character and is PGR I would call them a master of the character. Nobody is perfect.

THANK YOU ESAM FOR THE STEVE GUIDE
3:05 - 3:09 i've been practicing for aeons trying to get this down anyone who can do this has GOT to have a third thumb..
Glad to see more Steve representation
Hi Rockman
18:05 the reason blocks dont let you upsmash offstage is because blocks break faster offstage
@@Junr777 no one cares about your real life issues stop taking your anger out on TH-cam comments
@@Junr777 now your just reflecting lol
@@Junr777 ⬆️when you cant even come up with a compelling argument so you resort to the typical spell correct
Oh damn, I never knew that
5:58 OOOOOOOOOOOH (dang wish I knew it before the hitstun nerf)
So sad repeater combo doesn’t work anymore
I main Steve and you want to know how hard is to do all Those combos , So hard that you get a headache just looking at some one doing them , now imagine actually trying to practice them 🤣
Steve is a monster I hate fighting this thing
im surprised you didnt get any replies yet considering how good your videos are
22:39 OOOOOOOOOOOOOH
One day I wish they make Steve skins like in regular mine craft so he can be Darth ESam
2:52 OOOOOOOOH
Steve is basically playing another game. Definitely not SSBU 😂
I think it's super cool how in depth Steve can be, is there any way you could make a Sora tech guide?
Sora isn't that deep..
@@Chris-dy1cb Hes basically “if your swinging your winning”
pvzh pfp, a rare breed indeed
@@Chris-dy1cb he has enough stuff for a short vid, like standard loops, idj nair/fair loops, idj combos, etc
as a steve main, i am hapi now
4:08 yea
21:13 proof Steve is a cool character
Repeater combo died
So underrTated bro fr
Needed this, thanks bro.
Every day more top tier 😎
21:58 ahhh
So is Steve the 20XX character of Smash Ultimate?
pretty much
Steve matchup chart soon?
How to turn to a different direction in the air like that?
Up smash doesn’t work offstage cause blocks break faster offstage. Still this is an incredible vid and I’m looking forward to terrorizing my local scene (I’ve got the 4 block NIL before this and even that freaks em out hehehe)! Thanks for this!
He says that later in the vid, if you watched it or just missed it.
Steve has a jair with pbr
Sick vid much appreciated
Bro how in the world do you juggle like that!!!???? I could never do that
Erm, Esam, the link to switch modding isn't actually the switch modding link
Tier list vid when
How does he display is controller on screen ?
what is your special set to?
You ever find this out lol
@@chancekingmusic lol I ended up actually getting a pdp controller for the additional shoulder buttons, helped a lot
bro how do you do any of this
I honestly hope Steve never gets nerfed because it’s so fun to mess with the broken techs
What’s ur controller settings
I know you say you claw sometimes. But at like 13:50 are you clawing to do x, y, cstick up? or is that all thumb? Idk how to get that
Nah no claw, just fast
@@imESAM holy shit bro
Btw pbr is easier after a attack
For some reason I find it really difficult to do an instant USmash out of NILs so I can’t ever get the finishers. Does anyone have any tips?
I want to be a Steve god so bad but he’s got so much shit to learn 😓 makes it interesting though to try to grind
No words
jUsT RAr loL
Wait Esam is a Steve Main?
He's dropping Min Min and using Steve as a secondary
Show control
Wait, are these true?
Yep!!
@@imESAM that's so fair and balanced
PBR is too complicated man
if you have a shoulder mapped to special and c-stick on it's easier
because then you don't need to move your thumb to b, you can turn around with the control stick, and then choose what aerial you want (besides neutral air) with c-stick
