two shield buttons isn’t possible on corded gamecube controllers unless u put jump on just the X Y buttons or back on the joystick, neither of which are good options :/
You can use shield + b or if you have two shield buttons holding both will make sure you can move the shield without roll or spot dodge. Just another option.
Yoshi doesn't evade taxes by sweeping them under the rug. He up air ladders them out of the atmosphere. If it works, why not bring it to the battlefield? So yeah, I guess you CAN call him "cheap"
Oh I get it, so because your parry box is stuck in place, moving your shield down actually makes the parry box wider (in a sense) thats actually cool af.
@@bluespidrlily Because the parry box is static meaning it never moves with the shield. So moving the shield up would cover up the parry window even more.
@@GimR Maybe on some week when you can't do the usual (destroying everything considered sacred in Smash) you could do something like walk people through your troubleshooting process; ie "Yoshi can't do ___. How do I work around this?" You've got a brute strength in how concrete your content is, but it would be a fun mix-up to see how you arrive at these wild techs so often. Like a "In the Lab" series... We really appreciate you, my dude. PS-God is my Rock, too.👊
Snake can't hold b during shield to lock himself into shield, either. I'm guessing this has to do with his grenades. Plus his grab works differently than every other grab, so it's safe to say he has his fair share of special code to make him work properly. An alternative to holding special+shield is holding shield twice (both triggers by default, or trigger+x/y, if you use a control scheme like that) and this works for every character. Just in case somebody missed BSD's video, it's worth mentioning.
I'm so happy that this was a real video. This is why the bell is on for my boy, GimR. Unfortunately, 2 of my 3 characters were shown as examples of people who can't use this... but it's still something that's good to know!
You can also hold 2 shield buttons to tilt your shield in any direction which is good to know, especially if you're an inkling player. Thanks for the good vid gimr keep it up!
Oh my god you weren't even explaining parries themselves but you are the only person who can have them make sense to me I can't wait to try actually knowing how the work
I didn't initially understand how to apply this, but after watching that tourney match where you parried the crap out of that Wolf as Icies, this makes a lot more sense.
its probably been said somewhere, but its actually more beneficial to shield tilt by using L+R, or any 2 jump buttons simultaneously. if you develop that habit over the shield+B then you can still shield tilt naturally even when playing as inkling and snake (or any other character that may not be able to press B and shield at the same time)
IDK if this is a new thing as a result of patch 2.02, but if you hold both shield buttons it allows you to tilt your sheild without dodging just like you were holding shield + B. Makes the tech more plausible for Inkling to pull off.
This is very similar to how in melee, characters with really short crouches or dashes can go under projectiles and attacks and then shield to easily powershield
I'm sure many people know, but you can also hold two shield buttons at the same time to shield macro, which is essentialy only useful for Inkling players.
The other way to shield tilt real fast (of which does work for inkling) is to hold down both shield buttons. I think it's more useful in general as it leaves B open for punish options as well.
There is something very similar, that players did in smash 4 (on probably even brawl?) You would crouch first and then press shield. Since the shield forces you to stand up, you could press shield, when they entered your "normal" character height.
So basically, tilt your shield down when someone’s coming at you with an ariel from above, so that their move doesn’t hit your shield as soon, and you have more time to parry that Ariel?
I’m just gonna put this here real quick, for some reason Snake can’t use the B+Shield to tilt his shield. No clue why but every time I’ve tested it it works for everyone but Snake (and inkling of course)
You can use two shield buttons instead. When Snake shields, he drops any held grenade, and that input would be B + Shield, but I'm not sure if that's exactly why Snake can't do that.
Man I love Sakurai for giving this game so much depth. Just hope Namco Bandai doesn't ruin it with their DLC imbalancing like they did DBFZ, Tekken, Smash 4, etc
This tech is called reverse april fools joke where the audience is baited with the expectation of a joke but presented with the actual and factual information
Eh? If your shield is chunked then shifting it towards the opponent's attack reduces their ability to shield stab you. Not related to this video but it's always been useful in some scenarios.
it made more sense when they introduced it in melee because you could mess up people's L-cancel timing by moving your shield's hitbox, as well as control the direction/distance you are knocked back in shield via tilt and light-shielding (aka shield DI). even after that, it still has minor use because you can tilt the shield to cover a character's exposed feet or hands, preventing a shield poke.
If you're on instagram consider following me. Thanks! instagram.com/vgbc_gimr
April fools...?
GimR does this mean you can parry with both Ice Climbers?
2 hours late. Disappointed
Wait, the double shield tilt method isn't the more reliable ?
this video is verry good for yoshi xD.
I was approaching this video with so much caution lol
Epic Box ikr cuz it’s April fools lol
"this isn't an April fool's joke btw"
-gimr on Twitter. This is real.
The April Fool's part was "gotta go meet my gf"
@@d.s.alcoda he actually has a gf. Lol
are there actually people that think it's not real? it's so simple it wouldn't even make a good joke :\
@@rumfordc well. Depend people don't take it as a joke.
@@rumfordc flat Earthers think the earth is flat
I spent the entire video waiting for the joke.
Now I'll have to rewatch it and actually pay attention.
Wraith Ferron that’s me lol 😂
The parrying meta is gonna get sick, turned on notifications for this man and he always delivers, thanks Gimr
Taylor649 same
Lol.
@@JustCallMeOxy why lol?
@@lucasyang7410 the meta hasn't went anywhere since of covid
For you Inkling mains out there just make sure you have two shield butttons, pressing two shields is the same as shield + b.
Yup! And if your triggers are all jumbled to jump and special and stuff, just sub X to shield as well!
same for snake players
If you're using sideways joycon I recommend setting the ZR/ZL bumper at either the left or right of the joycon to shield, so you can shield shift.
Gabriel Aidley A.K.A Inkirby why the fuck are you tryna implement tech on a single joycon lol

BSD mentioned that. Not Gimr.
you can also youse zr and zl i think
Yes, the 2 shield buttons. Just like we said.
Timestamp? I've been looking for it in cased I missed it. He only said "unless you're inkling" but never explained the 2 shield button alternative.
Everyone: "Parry Shifting should be useful"
Yoshi Mains: 🙁
That's the April fool's joke, just at us...
yoshi is cheap so yeah you guys don't deserve good tips

How is he cheap
Please elaborate

Its not that bad it does 32% max and its down air

If you see someone tilting their shield in the wrong direction it's fishy is what you know lol.
2 of 3?
Oh, another bad April fool's joke...
Wait no wtf this is real OMG
*Dies of hype*
That comment made me dismiss the vid till I saw the rest lmao
These videos are like 2 seconds of the actual tech we came to see and like 6 minutes of Gimrs face.
I dunno about you but I came to see Gimr's face.
Also you can press both shield buttons if you have two shield buttons
shield+b
Snake also cant tilt with shield+B just a heads up so double shield for him as well iirc
You can also hold 2 shield buttons to tilt your shield in any direction which is good to know, especially if you're an inkling player. Thanks for the good vid gimr keep it up!
or snake!
a follow up to the shield tilting, if you hold 2 shield buttons simultaneously, you can tilt the shield rapidly as well.
Parry option selects are sick
This makes me want to get back into the scene, I won't lie.
Oh my god you weren't even explaining parries themselves but you are the only person who can have them make sense to me I can't wait to try actually knowing how the work
I didn't initially understand how to apply this, but after watching that tourney match where you parried the crap out of that Wolf as Icies, this makes a lot more sense.
"Woreo"
The new Oreo flavor.
its probably been said somewhere, but its actually more beneficial to shield tilt by using L+R, or any 2 jump buttons simultaneously. if you develop that habit over the shield+B then you can still shield tilt naturally even when playing as inkling and snake (or any other character that may not be able to press B and shield at the same time)
Setting two shield buttons and holding them both will also allow you to tilt your shield as much as you want, as soon as you want.
The outro fits even better on this one!
Your videos are so much more informative than zero’s tutorials.. he barely touched on the deeper mechanics casual players like me have no idea about
If you're using Inkling, you can move your shield freely with out rolling by holding two shield buttons at the same time.
you can also press l and r (both shield buttons) at the same time to move your shield instead of using shield and b
IDK if this is a new thing as a result of patch 2.02, but if you hold both shield buttons it allows you to tilt your sheild without dodging just like you were holding shield + B. Makes the tech more plausible for Inkling to pull off.

Wario: "I've made a terrible mistake"
nobody:
fox: nair
Wolf: *CLEARS TROATH*nair
Snake: THERE
Luigi: *Observe.* Parrys into up-b.
This is very similar to how in melee, characters with really short crouches or dashes can go under projectiles and attacks and then shield to easily powershield
You can also hold down two shield buttons (more commonly L and R) to tilt the shield freely
I'm sure many people know, but you can also hold two shield buttons at the same time to shield macro, which is essentialy only useful for Inkling players.
and snake!
Gimr - the only labber that finds stuff that noone actually knew about. Respect.
GIMR YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN
Gim's has been in the lab for a while this time, he looks exhausted
One of the only youtubers who didnt make a april fools video
Such dedication!
You can do shield tilting trick by holding both shield buttons as well.
This is where we recreate the Daigo parry moment. 👍
Thanks for not doing a dumb April Fools joke!

Also you can tilt your shield without spot dodging if you hold another shield button at the same time
To make it easier to tilt your shield in the moment, you can press two shield buttons at the same time which is easier than shielding and holding B.
So basically, tilt your shield down when someone’s coming at you with an ariel from above, so that their move doesn’t hit your shield as soon, and you have more time to parry that Ariel?
Yeah
Btw you can also hold down both shield buttons (ZR and ZL buttons) and you won’t roll or spot dodge, for the inkling and snake players.
*5:49
You can also press both shield buttons if you have a pro controller or PDP controller. So there you go inkling mains.
Oh and if you’re inkling, press two shield buttons at once if you have them, this method also keeps you in place
This channel is just superb. I've learned so much your videos. Keep up the great work!
Didn't know that a fast-falled aerial sent you back to slow fall unless holding down or clicking down again.
He's talking about aerial then fastfall. If you fastfall after your aerial you will stay in fastfall
an actual guide to Smash Ultimate and it's not a joke??!?! GIMR IS A MADMAN!!!
Sword characters: “What have you done, you’ve doomed us all!!”
I’m just gonna put this here real quick, for some reason Snake can’t use the B+Shield to tilt his shield. No clue why but every time I’ve tested it it works for everyone but Snake (and inkling of course)
You can use two shield buttons instead. When Snake shields, he drops any held grenade, and that input would be B + Shield, but I'm not sure if that's exactly why Snake can't do that.
Kirby with snake's copy ability can't do it with shield+special either
Really? Finally I can tilt shields with Yoshi. Thank you for informing me that this works with _every_ character except the two you mentioned.
I feel if Light learns this. He'll just become a parry god.
The parry god only gets stronger. 🙏
You can use shield+b or double shield hold to move your shield freely.
6:00 You can also press both shield buttons for the same effect if that's more comfortable for you
Big ups to Gimr for not putting up an April Fool's joke
What!? I knew you could move your shield freely if you hold both R and L, didn't know it worked with B.
I believe if you hold down two shield buttons you can also shift your shield without spot dodging or rolling.
*Thanks for not April Fooling your smash fam*
Love ya maaaaaan ✊👽😎
Thanks to your shield stun cancelling video
It saved me in tournaments and in friendlies !
Anyways, back to the lab again
Man I love Sakurai for giving this game so much depth.
Just hope Namco Bandai doesn't ruin it with their DLC imbalancing like they did DBFZ, Tekken, Smash 4, etc
You can also use two mapped shield buttons to shift shield without rolling or spot dodging.
Not doing an april fool's joke in the april fool's day it's a mixup
Or you can hold two shield buttons to not spot dodge or roll, so that inklings can do so
Double shield works as well for shield tilting.
Great info! Seems I should be able to apply this to Luigi pretty well.
You can also hold two shield buttons to tilt your shield.

Am i a joke to you?
Am I the only one who always watches Gimr videos until the very end just to hear the „back to the lab again“ song?
holy crap this is game changing
Ultimate is evolving AGAIN
just realising you can shift your shield and that you can't go through other players. could you tilt shield to block the ledge
Nope it just pushes you out the way nice idea but that would be so broken haha
@@wowftw120 man i wanted a broken strat in smash
It reminds me of how Yoshi's parry in Melee is easier to do it out of crouch. Good stuff to know all around.

Thanks GimR! This information will surely be what finally takes me past 50k!
5:53 you can also press 2 shield buttons at the same time
BACK TO THE LAB AGAIN
Another great video! I'm glad you're making content again; I'm really enjoying it!
I can already see myself spot-dodging accidentally consistently.
All is forgiven since you're wearing the God-tier Little Mac sweatshirt
You can hold both shield triggers to not roll or spot dodge
*Thank you Sensei GimR-san*
locking your shield doesn't only work with B but also with another shieldbutton, so inkling can do it too
