Something to note about Loxodont's ftilt 1: On grounded opponents it's slightly negative on hit unless you cancel into ftilt 2. That said, that doesn't mean it's bad. Once you hit with ftilt it's mixup time. Your fastest options (other than ftilt 2) are jab, grab, and block and those are all great for building a gameplan around because they all serve a different purpose, and while none of them are true they're all fast enough to be unreactable. Imo the default option is ftilt > jab. You can get this without canceling into ftilt 2 by hitting jab just after Loxo's ears swing back forward in his ftilt 1 animation. Jab can lead into a grab or any tilt, including linking back to ftilt and looping the situation until they do something about it. Figure out their response to the situation and adjust your post-ftilt punish accordingly. Do they mash a fast button? Block and shield grab. Do they block? Grab. Do they spot dodge? Meaty the i frames. The hardest response to deal with is roll, as you'll need to read the direction or have some great reflexes. Roll in is the easiest, as you can just pivot > pick a move. I think roll away can lead to side b, but I didn't get a chance to lab that. Ideally, you want to do this close enough to the ledge that their roll away will stay in ftilt range or on a platform (though the latter is a lot harder to set up).
This is super informative! I like all of the mix-ups in advantage that f-tilt can provide and I think you do a great job of laying out the general flowchart. I love it when new characters get added to games because we get a chance to theorycraft stuff like this.
i played the beta for 15 hrs and i must say. lox is the only character i'm decent at. i love his mixup options. my favorite strategy is forcing people into tech situations or just knowledge checks. i.e. dthrow without the magma confused so many people which let me react to their options such as a ftilt 1 or a dsmash. sometimes it led to an upstrong or side special. my personal favorite set up is ftilt 1 to utilt, which can lead to juggles.
He feels like the character that I wouldn’t main but I’d still somehow consistently beat all my friends with him instead of whoever I do main. I dunno any better way to describe it. I can’t wait for people to give dumb names to all his kill confirm, he’s gotta have one called the Wowie Zowie because elephants.
That was just the in-game volume. I had it turned down to 20% and it was still really loud. I'll keep that in mind when the next beta comes around though!
*comments solely for algorithm*
lox: u thot i was a grappler… i am a zoner
Looking forward to seeing you talk about the other characters to.
That thumbnail goes hard.

Loxodont joins Wario, Incineroar, Ike, and Ridley in the kingdom of “heavy with a carried nair”

so good!
Mammoth go brrrrrrr
You seem like a nice guy, I will comment because it is strong! (against the algorithm)
I love when viewers help me out against my hardest matchup (the algorithm).
He looks so damn cool man
He is so damn cool man
Muxh love
RAHHHHHHH LOXODONT GUIDE
love the kaladesh renegade flag in the background
Thanks! My LGS was going to throw it out and I took it instead lol. I've had it for years now even back when I was a Magic content creator.
I just realized there aren't any water characters yet. Wild.
Ranno counts but yeah there will only be two water characters when the game releases and four fire characters.
@@TuesdayTastic OH RIGHT I... Legitimately didn't see him when I was looking at the roster. Oops!
There’s ranno, but i’m surprised at the lack of orcane
@@not_really_greg This month for the July beta ;)
Really hoping we get Orcane soon :3
There's a pretty good chance that they are the next character! Although I'm rooting for Etalus personally.
Instead of magma armor, since itsnot defensive wha if we call it magma jacket
Ough, algorithm.. .
Oo la la
IT'S NOT MY TIIIIIME
EVERYONE ADD COMMENT FOR RETENTION (also dont make it the same as mine and dont spite me either)
I love you spud
So loxodont doesn't wear underwear so his is techinally naked
Fun facts brought to you by @Daniel12pixelRbMc
@@TuesdayTastic make art of him naked
He's not naked he's wearing trumps!
@@mightybear5441 TECHINALLY!
There are only three characters in this game that have pants.
honestly I know the music is cool but please tone it down next time (it's slightly hard to hear you)
otherwise thanks for teaching me somethings

Now go play King Dedede for 2 weeks 💅🏽💅🏽
Anything to get my Loxodont fix
