IMPORTANT: If it wasn't clear in the video, you also can get a forward facing jump misinput when attempting a manual instant reverse aerial if you start holding FORWARD on the left stick before you jump. This is another reason why using a shoulder button and the C-Stick is great so you don't have to hold forward for a back air. This video took a ton of work to make, hope you enjoyed!!
I’m new to smash and I really liked this video. The manual way is intuitive for me and I started doing that before watching any videos. But you brake it down a lot better than I ever did. I plan to share this video to help others learn their preferred method of inputting a moving back air. Honesty the name confuses me so I just call it a moving back air. I also liked your advice on the still back air input because it’s a bit faster than mine and more reliable.
You all prolly dont care but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Aiden Grayson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I’m diagnosed with ADHD and a neurodevelopmental disorder of slow brain processing speed. My guy, the way you explained everything made perfect sense in my brain. Hats off to you👏🏾
quick correction for around 12:15 ... you would not hold the L stick forward the entire time during attack cancel rar because if you did, you'd get a dash attack from hitting your c stick while running. you need to let go of the L stick right before inputting the tilt, then press the L stick in the same direction again while you jump. hope this clarifies for some people
Seeing a year later after the video was put out and I really appreciate the work you put in on this. Easy to understand and still kept me engaged. Just wanted to say it's great stuff and very much appreciated. 👌
It's awesome you included the IRAR and attack cancel method, there's a lot of confusion about the terminology online, and I can forsee this being shared a lot, thanks!
Bro idk if you'll see this but you are a goddamned legend. I wanted to re learn Roy and knew i had to learn the jab>bair combo and the jump buffer input is SOOO EASY thank you tons. Def subbing
I see this and I definitely need that jair combo to kill wish me luck with this...this IRAR tech is gonna be so helpful (the control stick being slightly up may help a great deal)
Do you still play? Have you improved much? This is my first Smash (and fighting game in general) and have quickly realized it's going to take me a very long time to get even just the basics down.
This is absolutely the best video on this topic. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to do this from other videos but after watching this i could do it easily
This is....amazing? Best video I found explaining rar and ira so far. Can’t wait to try all these out on my fight pad controller that’s going to arrive next week
I got to say, this is the first video explaining smash tech that was actually helpful. All the other ones were to vague and didn't give enough details.
So I practiced this and noticed either two things happen: I keep jumping with my back facing forward I get to jump with my back facing forward while doing a sommersault if I puah the left stick forward with the jump button. Which one should it be?
I will sometimes randomly get retreating forward air while trying to attack cancel back air. Seemingly for no apparent reason. I don't understand what's going on
Am I missing something ? I can do IRAR consistantly but not once after an attack (dtilt into bair with Ike for example) I guess that has to do with the buffer system but that is not mentionned here ?
My favorite combo to give to beginners is “down throw, into short hop fair or irar fastfall to down tilt, into up smash which gives and easy 37 damage”
fast forward to 2023 rather than 2021 when this video came out, the diagonal method is now a huge part of movemnt. It's called slingshot, and this method of RAR lets you do some exciting things with B moves and it lets you retreat out of landing without turning around.
lmfao. Im a casual player for yearssss, and always wondered how people got the inputs so precise for this. using the bumper as a jump is so smart. I feel so dumb.... this opens up so many opportunities.
Wow, I am bad (3 million GSP), but can hit both the non-dashing "attack cancel bair" and the regular "dash RAR bair" pretty consistantly on Training Mode at normal speed. For the latter, it seems to work to rush forward, then quickly pull back, and then immediately press "A+Jump+Forward" at the same time. No c-stick involved (so, it doesn't matter if it is set to Tilts, Smashes or Specials). However, consistantly hitting these in a high-pressure match situation against a moving opponent in lag is another story altogether. Also, it helps to practice with someone like Corrin, who has very different Back Air and Front Air animations (i.e. giant wings for Bair, and a sword swing for Fair). My main is Zelda, for whom Fair and Bair look a bit too similar at full-speed. Anyway, in terms of timing and inputs, these kinds of Bair-related techs are 10000000 times easier than Zelda's infamous "Displaced Phantom", which I successfully perform about once in every 100 attempts, lol. However, you will be using these Bairs more often, and when under pressure from your opponent.
I think the attack cancel rar method can cause turn around forward airs for some bizarre reason. Some random reddit post thinks it happens when you input the jump on same frame as the c-stick. Just random FYI... Curious if you have seen this too though It only seems to happen when the game is running at 100% speed rather than slo mo or frame by frame
Pros/cons of each should be weighed. Attack cancelling method: no full hop, always comes with an aerial attack, but its a few frames quicker Instant RAR; can full hop or jump without throwing an attack immediately, but it takes a bit more time, so maybe some combos don't connect. Also in the instant RAR method you're moving yourself a little bit forward.
@@MerryBlind I doubt that. It's the same four actions being processed either way. Forward movement, turnaround, jump, and attack. The last three can happen together bc buffering will hold onto the attack input until after jump squat is finished. The first has to happen before anything else regardless.
I dislike a lot of smash terms which are used. The first two techniques are just a turnaround jump which work with or without skit animation and you can do anything with this jump like you normally would. And yes, typically that would be a bair for most characters because it the difference between fair and bair are huge most of the time. The second one is an alternative input method of doing the first technique and an aerial attack directly after that. It is a sideeffect of smash's makro and buffer systems. It does the same but forces you to do an aerial and a shorthop. Noone is stopping you from using it and it isn't any easier than doing it traditionally. It might come in handy for certain controller configurations thought and maybe you want to master all the quirks of the makro and buffer systems as well... I'd call it an instant turnaround jump. What you do with it is the freedom of the player. Maybe an instant turnaround shorthop bair? Maybe an instant turnaround into diar? It would be so much easier to describe it like that. The other is just a *input method* for doing an instant turnaround bair which you could call.... a form of c-stick directional input manpulation?
You're not wrong about stuff like this being a barrier to entry. They barely explain any of this in game. I still don't know how to short hop in this game.
Press a jump button for 3 frames or less. Orr, press two jump buttons at once and it will force a short hop regardless of the time you hold the buttons. This method is new in ultimate.
O dear lord wait until people start doing shit like idjrar (instant double jump reverse arial rush) or idjirar. If they do Imma say it like "ijrar" and "ijeerar"
Why are you telling people they need to press forward on the left stick first to do an attack cancel? If you're standing still, facing right, all I need to do is press left on the c stick then within a few frames press right on the left stick plus jump at the same time and you get an instant rising back air. Apologies if I missed the reason, this vid is a little unnecessarily long-winded imo.

"how to rar in 2023"
2 years ago
boy that threw me through a loop
Pov: ur actually in 2023 and u look at this and realize this was made two years ago
Time to change the title
Advice: Practice those inputs frame by frame in Training Mode to understand the order and timing of each input. It really helped me to “get it”.
I’m diagnosed with ADHD and a neurodevelopmental disorder of slow brain processing speed. My guy, the way you explained everything made perfect sense in my brain. Hats off to you👏🏾
just say ur autistic man dont sugarcoat it
Hope u get better🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you good sir
Thanks cool guy.
if you use anything mentioned in this guide to perform a RAR before 2021 starts, you die instantly
lmao
how to rar in 2023 when this was posted 2 years ago
everyone knows 2020-2023 wasn't canon bro
10:39 This video explains how to slingshot a year before gimr's reveal, lol

my consistency doing irar bairs normally is pretty good.
The moment i try to use irar bairs in combos i can't get it to work anymore.
i love your content and i enjoy watching it even tho im not playing that much smash currently. keep on youre my fav smash youtuber :)
This is truly the best IRAR guide! Now I can do it more consistently using the first method than the attack-cancel one.
It's awesome you included the IRAR and attack cancel method, there's a lot of confusion about the terminology online, and I can forsee this being shared a lot, thanks!

This is, hands down, the best tutorial for us boomers who have been using the traditional RAR since Brawl
great video! really helped me understand how the instant reverse methods worked and exactly how to do them!
THANK YOU! I've watched a dozen videos about this, and this is the first time this was properly explained to me.
Thanks a lot for this! My fav guide about RAR!
By far the best tutorial video on this out there thanks man
was about to type that the easiest to input these is to put the analog slightly up to prevent miss inputs but you covered that too ty
I just got this game 1 month ago.. have never played any smash games before this so thank you so much for this guide
Do you still play? Have you improved much? This is my first Smash (and fighting game in general) and have quickly realized it's going to take me a very long time to get even just the basics down.
Thank you for this video.. can always rely on you for awesome easy to understand tips
This is the kind of in depth content that I’ve always enjoyed on your channel and what I always come back for. Thanks for the video!
I really hope your tutorial includes the actual performing of the inputs on the controller
This is absolutely the best video on this topic. For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to do this from other videos but after watching this i could do it easily
Whole time I thought attack canceling was the only way to do this-_- this would of saved SO MUCH TIME. Thanks.
fantastic video, you know your stuff homie
This is....amazing? Best video I found explaining rar and ira so far. Can’t wait to try all these out on my fight pad controller that’s going to arrive next week
@game5smash, thank you for the tutorial. If you use the shoulder button for jump for instant rar, you won’t be able to do a full hop, right?
Great review.
This was an amazing video thanks for the content.
Really good guide!
I got to say, this is the first video explaining smash tech that was actually helpful. All the other ones were to vague and didn't give enough details.
NEEDS A MILLION VIEWS!!
This is reallllyyy good... I got it on my first try thank you so much
Dude buffer instant rar have been kicking my ass, Thanks 🙏🏿
How far does a control stick need to go to count as back in this context?
For those coming from gunnercord, or from me linking a vid wherever, what he calls "manual IRA" is an IRAR. Than his second description of IRA is IRA
So I practiced this and noticed either two things happen:
I keep jumping with my back facing forward
I get to jump with my back facing forward while doing a sommersault if I puah the left stick forward with the jump button.
Which one should it be?
Sometimes when I do it I get the back jump back flip animation and sometimes the character just stays upright. Which is right?
I will sometimes randomly get retreating forward air while trying to attack cancel back air. Seemingly for no apparent reason. I don't understand what's going on
Great video
Am I missing something ? I can do IRAR consistantly but not once after an attack (dtilt into bair with Ike for example) I guess that has to do with the buffer system but that is not mentionned here ?
How do people short hop with the shoulder buttons tho? They have so much activation.
Can someone tell me if you can do a running rar attack cancel with lucina? I can do it stationary and dashing but not running
I cant seem to get these methods down, cloud keeps doing fair towards the opponent or he does his back air but on the wrong way
Dude u r a life saver!
Nice. Updated. Thx.
I thought the c-stick method was the only way to do this lmao. So glad there is an easier way.
This tutorial is very good!
My favorite combo to give to beginners is “down throw, into short hop fair or irar fastfall to down tilt, into up smash which gives and easy 37 damage”

Question: what are the differences between short hop and rar up air
Short hop up air would be a forward facing up air, and rar up air is a backwards up air. It could be used for combos and such.
Taught myself to IRAR today. Lets go
Actually tutorial on how to RAR
Step 1: Play Charizard
Step 2: Use Side Taunt
"rar in 2021"
*Dec 14, 2020*
When should you do instant rar vs attack canceling?
Pros/cons of each should be weighed.
Attack cancelling method: no full hop, always comes with an aerial attack, but its a few frames quicker
Instant RAR; can full hop or jump without throwing an attack immediately, but it takes a bit more time, so maybe some combos don't connect. Also in the instant RAR method you're moving yourself a little bit forward.
@@FelipeKana1 thanks
If you do IRAR properly it can do everything including what people use attack cancelling for
@@nathanlevesque7812 Attack cancelling saves you 1 frame which can make all the difference for a “true combo”.
@@MerryBlind I doubt that. It's the same four actions being processed either way. Forward movement, turnaround, jump, and attack.
