KEY NOTE FOR PLAYERS STRUGGLING TO LAND AERIALS: If you struggle to consistently shorthop without performing a rising aerial, I've found the following two methods to be the easiest to use. 1) By sliding your finger right off the jump button as you tap it, more than likely you'll tap it quick enough for a shorthop to be registered. Personally this is how I shorthop. May take a bit longer to get used to compared to method 2. 2) Nintendo has added another shortcut for shorthops. Rather than pressing attack and jump together to perform a rising shorthop aerial, you can press 2 jump buttons at the same time to perform a shorthop without an attack, where you can start timing your aerials. May be useful if you have jump set to a bumper or trigger.
Thanks man. I absolutley *SUCC* at and I knew aerials were arguably the most important part of a characters kit(unless you're maining mac lol) but I just couldn't get the timings down, I'm gonna try and practice these now and try to improve my skill level. Thanks again
Thank you for appearing in my recommended. I can’t wait to binge all these videos to improve myself once I get the game (I leech off my friend’s devices during lunch at school).
The way you break up the game is amazing! Some of it is intuitive for some, but it’s great for everyone because it categorizes and breaks the game up so anyone can understand.
Great video, however I personally think that for some characters (Lucina especially) doing short hop aerials are rly safe. For example if lucina fairs your shield, and drifts back (or just spaces the aerial well) she is normally unpunishable since her fair will auto cancel
Me who is a noob and want to practice proper attacks instead of spamming special: "Hmm, maybe this video can help." Him: SHORTHOP, APEX, ETC. Me: I like your funny words, magic man.
I've seen a lot of pro players using swordies spamming Fair shorthop fastfall, at very incredible high speed, what's the technique. Are they shorthoping (x-) (C-stick >) fast fall every damn time?
How do i short hop. I know you have to quick tap the jump button. But 8 time out of 10 i full hop... i managed to do 2 short hop once while standing still. I need help.
The way I taught myself to shorthop in Melee works here too. I use the tip of my thumb and not the bottom part(and i have my thumb fully bent while doing this), place it on the lower edge of the X button and flick it so it slips off the button. Might sound weird at first but give it a go and with minimal practice you should be able to short hop at all times. This is mostly for Gamecube controllers though.
You use your jab button in the air to do a neutral air, and then push the stick in the direction you want to do an aerial in and then press the button to do a directional aerial

I never knew about the second method. That's so helpful.
Thanks for all your videos dude. You never know but you may just be helping out the next pro smash player with these
Your aerials are almost as well timed as your videos
Little Mac mains: Am I a joke to you?
Yes, yes you are. respect for maining the worst character in the game thought

Great content, homie! Short and to the point. Very much appreciated.
"ay sending"
Pelagius Septim it’s not wrong to pronounce ascending that way. Just fyi
You definitely make some of the best smash guides on youtube. Well done !

"And you likely use them all the time" *offended little mac noises*
To help do short hops, set one of your bumpers to jump and press that and X (or Y) at the same time.
OK I'm convinced now I'm going to subscribe
For lucina, don't c stick spam and just use A button as there is little to no delay after landing. I'd A button mash
Love your vids your the best

Pichu gets nair into grab! Great video nevertheless.

Thanks now I know why I my up tilt out of down throw with Pichu isn't working. Cause I'm doing it on the wrong timing
You mean up-air?
You go down throw, up tilt, SH up air fast fall, FH up air, double jump fair
At higher percents yes up air but only after like 40%
Oh my bad, you didn't speficy any follow-ups, so I thought you meant something else.
@@crispie4802 bair loops?
How do you go agaisnt them
Do you use the c stick for aerials?
Yes.
Not always it depends on the situation
And the same for Pikachu?
I've seen a lot of pro players using swordies spamming Fair shorthop fastfall, at very incredible high speed, what's the technique. Are they shorthoping (x-) (C-stick >) fast fall every damn time?
Yes it’s not that hard once you get used to fast falling every time you are in the air

There is a macro in ultimate where I’d you press two separate jump buttons you will sh
How do you ariel
Im new Im trying to learn
