[@clips8645]

I always wondered how Marios up smash was so fast out of shield, now I know

[@adammalkovich187]

The only character that I would avoid using direction air dodge with would be Palutena, as her up B teleportation allows her to travel further and is better at placing her at a better position after using it.

[@megaaltaria6379]

10:01 AD REVENUE

[@OnePunchYume]

There were a few things I did not know, very helpful. Thank you.

[@swole_al]

this video was very informative! thank you so much!

[@Judeinator9001]

Am I the only one who first thought this game was played by pressing random buttons on the controller in fast succession when close to an opponent? I didn't even know shield existed until I realized a bubble of energy sometimes on my opponents that blocked my attacks.

[@randy11nani38]

Thanks for this guides, are very usefull for me to improve!!! =)

[@emmanueloladosu8987]

1:00 But ZSS jab comes out on frame 1.
Wait, this is a defensive video. Nevermind.

Emmanuel Oladosu And so is Little Mac's jab.

And snake ans duck Hunt neural b

[@sameermassoud3886]

This is the perfect tutorial for me especially at the end

[@bradthomas7933]

Finally learned the smash definition of parry

[@backlashD]

Seeing directional air dodges in slow motion really shows how janky it is. Why do characters jerk in the opposite direction before going the direction you told them to go? It looks so gross.

[@iizeiyoy4066]

Old comment I know but it’s probably to prevent wavedashing from being even slightly good

[@yoshiandtailsfan8797]

Great guide.

[@chaset.5053]

I think rolls should be invulnerable the whole way through. The amount of times I messed up the input and got punished is insane

[@hyperstar7252]

Will you make a video covering Wolf like you did with Falco?

[@remmy626]

You can air dodge up so it can be like an extra invincible jump

[@Warm_n_Crowzy]

but don’t do this unless your like puff

[@xray8012]

A footstool can also stop a shield break

[@perro_mg370]

someone tell me the music that is playing in the background, its soo good

[@adribadri1095]

I hope I will can do this soon.

[@Cristanchowww]

tysm i didn't knew about spotdodge, now i can win easily

[@iku908]

top tiers list?

[@brainbott5738]

actually mythra has the longest air cooldown + fastest roll since dlc

[@shnerped3549]

Yoshi is such a flex

[@ledemduso5827]

Quick sidenote here, in case anyone ever sees it: You can not use your up b out of shield if you've disabled tap jump.

[@warrensnook9435]

[@sparrow_solas]

what about super armor defensive moves like yoshis super armor on his double jump or olimars down b?

[@benjaminratthe9904]

Or even "invincibility" (The word's on the tip on my tongue, I mean not having a hurtbox/collision box) with ZSS' and Pokemon Trainer's down B

[@sparrow_solas]

i think its called intangibility?

[@Pslamist]

@@sparrow_solas That's right.

[@benjaminratthe9904]

@@sparrow_solas Yup. Wasn't sure so I didn't wanna mislead anyone but that's it. Uhhhh basically they're usually better than airdodging as they're character-specific (that edge fades away as you climb up the skill ladder) and usually the frame data favors them over other defensive options (for example, ZSS' down B is intangible on frames 3-12 and you can do the kick as soon as frame 14, which is ridiculous and it's nearly unpunishable even if you read it)

[@StreetwizeJJ2]

Back Rolls? Those were just forward rolls demonstrated around the 4-minute mark of this video, but at least it was correctly explained what they do. I'm really surprised whoever edited this didn't even notice that.
Edit: The back roll was demonstrated later, but the timing of the video prior to that implied the second forward roll was the back roll.

[@tik_taq6658]

PJiggles sent me here from their latest video

[@GooberWardo]

I genually didn't know you could press a to grab out of shield until now and i have been playing smash fro 2 years

[@RubyGrube]

Top tier list?

[@rooksdoubleohseven9919]

I've gained a new respect for smash through this video. Also from my nephew whooping me. While I think a lot of the things discussing this video are counterintuitive based upon other fighters, it does go to show that I imagine of lot of people who dismiss smash. Probably don't know these things. Still a party game, lol. But consider me ready to start partying hardcore.

[@volu7169]

You forgot to mention that you can also airdodge up/down :)
