To gentleman without hitting someone you don't actually have to release A while walking, by walking the counter already resets to 0. It's also possible to gentleman without walking, by waiting until the first (or second) jab's animation is finished, but this method is slower.
@@braxinIV I just love that you considered this as a method of doing it, haha. Imagine playing a set with that song blaring through your headphones the whole time.
@@braxinIV I don't actually do it to the song. I do it to my own tempo. But the relative distance between the beats is similar to the song. So it's still possible to sing the song with the Gentleman as the beat. It took practice to do it consistently
since z is mapped to R+A, could you press A A (don't release A second time) -> Z? so Adown, Aup, Adown, Zdown (while you're still in jab 2 to buffer jab 3 so it doesn't read the shield press?)
I believe this does work. Remember seeing something like this on the smash forums a few years ago. Tried it and i remember it working. Havent touched the game in a min though so idk
Hey axe, I know your inputs aren't working for the overlay, but you can enable the input display withing 20xx that appears in the top of the screen. Might be helpful!
I was taught years ago that if you press L/R/Z right after the last hit, you could consistently do it. After going doing more research, it seems like this was found to do nothing. Still helps me do it fairly consistently though
From this guide I link below its: Jab One - 1 frame Jab Two- 1 frame Jab Three - hold for at least 2 frames. Hold jab One or Two for longer than a frame you get rapid jabs. Hold jab Three for only 1 frame you get rapid jabs. Edit: If you don't hit them with the first two jabs you will get a rapid jab, if you whiff just wait for the 2nd jab to conclude(or do the walk method post 1st jab Axe showed) then you can start from the beginning again if desired(if you can get the initial jab hits) The referenced guide -- smashboards.com/threads/frame-data-the-way-gentleman-works.394171/#post-21554393
I actually have a trick for doing the gentleman that works pretty consistently but it's kinda hard, I don't remember how I discovered it but basically you press the button as lightly as possible on a tight rythm, it's actually easier to do it without hitting someone because the hitstop makes the rythm a litte weird. Still, I can't believe I didn't know how it actually works until today lol
For some reason I had always assumed that the gentleman was falcons grab, him grabbing the other character by the collar to pull him close and talk some sense.
Does this also work if they're shielding? Like, if you release A in shield stun rather than hitlag? I've always done the Wizzy method which is to press R right after the third A press, but it's inconsistent for me.
I've heard about this too. I feel like I read somewhere that it counts the downward press of the control stick instead of the release of A, so it skips a press? I'm not sure, gentleman's weird. Works for Johnny though so shrug
I thought there was an easier way to do it by holding down on the joystick after the first hit connects? Something like that? You end up crouching for a moment, but it's still a gentleman.
Heard the same thing and was curious why he didn't mention it, it just makes it more consistent. "Although it is possible to Gentleman with an A button release during Jab3, there is basically no reason to ever not hold A throughout this entire animation so as to not increment the rapid jab counter. Remember that the rapid jab counter check is executed every frame of Jab3 during its interrupt function. So even if you "perform" a Gentleman, but accidentally release the A button a single frame before Jab3 animation's last (with rapid jab counter currently at 3 -> which is common), a rapid jab action state will occur. For this reason, I would also recommend always holding down or forwards to IASA Squat (crouch cancel safety) or Walk out of a Jab3 Gentleman." - a great comment on how falcon rapid jab works smashboards.com/threads/frame-data-the-way-gentleman-works.394171/
You don't have to hold down either, you can also dash or do any other action as long as you don't let go of the third A press until the new action has begun.
@@JesterJones that's true, however I think dashes have a 1 frame buffer window and the gentleman has IASA frames at the end so the timing is fairly easy
I still don't get the fast hitlag version. There's barely any hitlag...? And his first and second jabs come out so fast anyway to the point where you basically have to mash to release the first jab during hitlag anyway. Am I looking at this wrong?
I've done the gentleman without hitting anything, Andi was trying to do a normal jab. Don't know if its 20xx or if I did some weird tech, but I got it like 6 times in a row when I was trying to do normal jabs
Hey man, I would love for you to tryout a ic's desync that I have not seen preformed by any ic's players or in any tech videos. On any stage with a platform jump on and waveland off the platform. As you fall off the platform use any of popo's aerials, only popo should complete the aerial. When you land miss the L cancel and input any move that nana can use as a desync option, I use down b from this setup. I'm not good enough to get the word out so I thought I would ask for some help getting the word out. If its already commonly known my bad!
How to Gentleman: 1- Be european 2- Play PAL since launch because that's the version everybody got at the time 3- Complain to other europeans to stop playing NTSC just for Murrica senpai to notice us. 4- Profit
!gentleman
Triple A -> Buttclench n0neCLENCH -> Pray 🙏
!kword
Why did it take 19 years for someone to explain this correctly
Just switch to PAL ayy lmaooooo
After this vid i got an ad that had characters saying "Gentleman... Is the threat real?" "Yes sir, we believe it is"

I always thought that holding the last A press made it more consistent but I never knew why. Great vid
I found that I can gentleman without hitting anyone if I do my A presses to the beat of we will rock you by queen.
Doesn’t work for me. Even had the song in the background and everything.
@@braxinIV I just love that you considered this as a method of doing it, haha. Imagine playing a set with that song blaring through your headphones the whole time.
@@braxinIVIt should work though
@@braxinIV I don't actually do it to the song. I do it to my own tempo. But the relative distance between the beats is similar to the song. So it's still possible to sing the song with the Gentleman as the beat. It took practice to do it consistently
@@braxinIV The actual speed is slower than the song I think
Very well explained.
So what youre saying is half A presses are NOT possible in melee
An A press is an A press you can't say it's only a half!
@@Bippah mario 64 would like to speak with you
@@BippahWell, MR "Henry" Bippah, hear me out.

Always excited to see more from you! Great video!

thanks a bunch bro, been wondering about this for months and i learned it within 3 minutes of your explanation. Awesome vid!
Thank you Axe much love.

This only makes you light shield after the second jab, I think grounded z will never put out a hitbox- only grab or lightshield
@@Chizypuff that is incorrect. I do my gentleman's doing a a z and have done so for 10 years
How does the Z press help? Does the game not count it as an A press for the gentleman counter?
This is the best explanation I've ever seen
Hey axe, I know your inputs aren't working for the overlay, but you can enable the input display withing 20xx that appears in the top of the screen. Might be helpful!
Absolute lifesaver! Great stuff
Thanks pikachu main for explaining this. Axe you the goat i couldnt find any for S2J or Whizzy
Thx man!! I have been looking for a easy explanation for like ever!!!
I just do two fast presses, holding on to the second one, then doing a late one on the third.
Helpful.
before you learn how to gentleman and utilize half a presses, we need to talk about PARALLEL UNIVER- wait, not in this game? never mind.
Best explanation out there. Apparently all these years it’s been so fuckin easy...
Thank you thank you thank you =/
It works ...so many videos out there..
And the Axe tutorial got it right
I was taught years ago that if you press L/R/Z right after the last hit, you could consistently do it. After going doing more research, it seems like this was found to do nothing. Still helps me do it fairly consistently though
I do the third input with Z instead of A and it works for me
From this guide I link below its:
Jab One - 1 frame
Jab Two- 1 frame
Jab Three - hold for at least 2 frames.
Hold jab One or Two for longer than a frame you get rapid jabs. Hold jab Three for only 1 frame you get rapid jabs.
Edit: If you don't hit them with the first two jabs you will get a rapid jab, if you whiff just wait for the 2nd jab to conclude(or do the walk method post 1st jab Axe showed) then you can start from the beginning again if desired(if you can get the initial jab hits)

yeah the hit works the same on shield as it does without.
whats up with S2J and the "hold down" method? does that skip an A release?
I've heard about this too. I feel like I read somewhere that it counts the downward press of the control stick instead of the release of A, so it skips a press? I'm not sure, gentleman's weird. Works for Johnny though so shrug
If you want to do gentlemans without hitting someone you can hold A on the first jab
AMAZING AMAZING
clean explanation :]

@@GustoFormula from what I understand people use crouch because you can buffer it, you can not buffer a dash.
@@JesterJones that's true, however I think dashes have a 1 frame buffer window and the gentleman has IASA frames at the end so the timing is fairly easy
i find that i'm only able to pull off gentlemen in dire last stock situations.
it's like my haki blooming in the heart of battle
AudaciousOtter- I needed this shit bad
make more vids like this please
Nice
Fedora tipping intensifies!
I still don't get the fast hitlag version. There's barely any hitlag...? And his first and second jabs come out so fast anyway to the point where you basically have to mash to release the first jab during hitlag anyway. Am I looking at this wrong?
So pretty much "tap-tap-wait-press and hold" during hitlag
I've done the gentleman without hitting anything, Andi was trying to do a normal jab. Don't know if its 20xx or if I did some weird tech, but I got it like 6 times in a row when I was trying to do normal jabs

I didnt even know how it worked and im a captain falcon main
Why is this so hard 💀

3- Complain to other europeans to stop playing NTSC just for Murrica senpai to notice us.
4- Profit
NTSC problem
How to do it easier: kindly ask falcon if he can gentleman jab
M'axe
Personally I just press z along side A on the last hit and it always works (must be hitting someone)
yeah i feel thats very consistent, but i have problems doing empty gentleman
Or just play on PAL for baby mode
You just need to breath right.
If you just hold down A when hitting someone it gentleman’s

on pal you just press 3 times xD
