I've come to love the occasional tomohawk when my opponent(s) least expect it. Tomohawking is falling, full-hopping or short-hopping towards the opponent, but landing without an aerial input and instead opting for a buffered grab. Unaware opponents are almost always tricked into shielding a potential F-Air or N-air from my Jigglypuff, and them going into shield earns Jigglypuff free grabs that she would otherwise NEVER get with her abysmal grab range.
"For the love of everything that is good in Xenoblade" That line is so good. So good. Definitely a great advice video though - I'll work on being more aware of that in my own Smashing.
Common Mistake 1: Having Fun. Every second you enjoy the game makes you far worse at the game. In fact, if you feel any emotions other than hate, rage and triumph, you're playing wrong.
Our Boy Roy is better than Sonic It should be fairly obvious. "Being predictable" means doing the same thing over and over. So..it should help anyone with a brain at least lol
+Sato I agree with you fundamentally, but some people have a few small habits that may be holding them back that they don't realise. #4 was a great example.
+Sato the problem with that logic is that it only seems so obvious because we are already in the know. of course we know things like constant air dodging and getting off the ledge the same way makes you predictable and gets you killed, but for players who are not experienced or skilled at smash they become predictable largely because they don't know all their options or they don't realize how punishable their option of choice is. furthermore sometimes people are auto piloting into certain options without realizing it due to their subconscious and natural instincts such as trying to roll while near the edge due to the natural instinct most people have to flee from danger and death. hence just saying don't be predictable and leaving it at that is actually not helpful to the people that this video is aimed at.
boredomkiller99 There is no problem with that logic. This video does not step-by-step tell you what every option you have is and how to mix them up, it just says "stop doing the same thing over and over", this video is really no more helpful than what I said in the end, which I'm not saying it should be, but it means my comment remains valid lol
2:23 For the 3rd mistake that you've mentioned, it can be argued that sometimes people don't grab enough may be because their character's grab in which they main is a Tether grab, such as Link, ZSS, and Lucas. While their type of grabs do have a longer reach than other characters, they're aren't that fast and that they're punishable if they're whiffed.
You pointed out the most commonly made mistakes I do too like air dodging, this helps a lot to improve my skills and strategy. Awesome video btw man those clips were really cool.
I have to say I really like your channel. It is one of the best out there regarding smash. An interesting thing to see from time to time could be showcases of high level matches (of you or others) with you commenting on it. Actual full matches with attention directed to them are pretty much the only thing missing.
Just wondering (lol), why does ZeRo Fthrow instead of Bthrow on 3:48? He seemed totally fine when keeping ANTi on the ledge. Was it to avoid staling his moves or something?
Thanks zero. #3 used to get me a ton as a dedede main until I started tomahawk grabbing people instead of bairing their shield. Its important to grab, even if theyre not going to die or get combo'd. It sets up for stage control and sometimes more.
ive always had an air dodging problem so recently ive been working on my DI because that seems to work much better in general. thanks for the tips ZeRo!
+jorge jimenez He travels to tournies all the time tho, and that's how he got good as well as his fundamentals. His Doc was made from for glory, but it got bodied as of recent.
***** he goes to tourneys like 1-2 times a week and even before that he became an amazing player only playing cpus in brawl. The majority of the time at least 3 times a week he's either player for glory or with subs
jorge jimenez Tourneys 1-2 times a week can get you very good, despite that, during Brawl he also went to tourneys as well and got better. Ally is the one who's known for playing Brawl online and getting good from it.
For the first mistake you mentioned, I think it's the complete opposite. People, are always trying to catch an offensive approach. (Shield grabs, dash attacks, and ledge get ups). Almost all the time, I see people attacking from the ledge. It's more common for people to attack from the ledge than to to roll or get up or try something else.
+Kayy Galaxy For me its the exact opposite, sure I feel pressured to win, but I already have in my mind that I'm going to win cause "its my character dammit" so I end up winning cause I usually know how to fight against my character really well, as in, I already have an idea of what my opponent is capable of.
Another few relatable habits: REPETITIVE SMASH ATTACKS/APPROACH OPTIONS Ally just did it once in the video he missed his first F smash another is Rolling into the edge even though u covered rolls in general I just wanted to specify +ZeRo Good videos lately man
2:25 I used to have this problem. I think for me it was kind of a laziness thing. Using grab required me to reposition my hand to hit the z button. I think for some people that's not a big deal, but for me it was very uncomfortable. I moved grab to x and I now have the mixups.
Oh my, the airdodge on is so true! It frustrates me so much seeing it used so often in my local stream. one time, I was doing Roy v Lucina on For glory and when I down threw the Lucina, I would just do nothing and they would air dodge straight into my fsmash. This happened for like 20 games before they finally started jumping instead. I wish I was better so I could start punishing my local scene harder, but unfortunately my smash 4 is just not there yet. I have a solid neutral game mindset so now I just need to learn the game. Want my scene to improve and can't have that if the same people keep winning off the same bad shenanigans.
Is only airdodge when is think is will get hir by a spike or a strong hit that can potentially take my stock. Even if is used like a combo finisher or something like that.
Excessive countering is another big one. So many Bayos, Corrins, and Macs throw out so many counters that all you have to do is finish a combo, wait for the counter, and punish accordingly.
Good thing I don't have any of these habits. Except maybe the ledge get up thing, because I almost always do standing ledge get up, which is usually the hardest one to punish.
Could we potentialy get a video on Stage Counterpicking? Covering Blast-Zones, as well what platform layouts are benificial/disadvantegous for different characters
I might also lump using counter in with that air dodge one. I come across a lot people online who get antsy and start spamming their counter, but it's especially bad in the air
I much preferred this thumbnail, thank you ZeRo! =D I have another suggestion, the bright flash you've placed when you display the title of the next mistake is a little bright and bothers my eyes. Maybe it's just me, but perhaps dim it or find another way to accentuate the titles. Thanks for another awesome video! You're really helping us out! =D
I didn't have any issues with eye strain from this video personally. Maybe try reconfiguring your regular computer setup to reduce eye strain conditions? things like adjusting your screen brightness, ambient light in the room, etc. I don't know exactly how you would go about this, so searching it up online might be a good idea. also Google F.lux, it's a program that tries to help reduce eye strain
Another one could be not spotdodging enough, I have it myself (trying to get rid of it, any suggestions?) and seen many people get hit because rolling or shielding just wouldn't do. Oh and shielding too much. You don't even need a Shield Breaker (or equivalent), just a few smash attacks (or generally strong hits) and their stock is yours.
Hey Gonzalo, I'm curious but are you ever going to stream Kingdom Hearts sometime in the future? Thanks for the advice on the ledge option mixups I didn't realize that in my gameplay habits till now
I feel like you should have mentioned not doing the correct DI, as that was the reason that last combo was possible. I don't know if most people would know just by seeing the clip or if most know already, but I didn't know why until I watched that Beefy Smash Doods video. And it can be a huge, avoidable mistake.
A lot of my mistakes are usually with getting knocked into the air. I play as some characters that don't have the greatest landing options (Falcon and Bowser). A lot of the times I'll find myself air dodging right onto the ground in front of the person, giving myself all this landing lag and setting myself up for eating a smash attack. Getting knocked into the air and landing on the stage has always been hard for me. I guess I just have to aim for the ledge.
I definitely burn my double jump early, and I could manage grabbing some more. I've focused so much on rolling and ledge options, I haven't thought about this stuff!
I seem to have no success in grabbing opponents nearby out of mid-air. My friend gets me as Mario all the time when I'm R.O.B. falling back to the stage. He does this from behind a shield, yet when I try it with similar grab-range characters, I always fail and get punished.
I see my friends air dodge all the time. I always punish them HARD for. For example, me and my friend were playing on the bus. I was Mario, and he was at the Dthrow to Fair combo. He DIs, and air dodges. I read it, then he gets spiked anyways. I also have a bit of a problem with it, because most of the time I am forces to right next to the ground, otherwise I will get hit by a Smash. It is always when I dont have a jump, so I cant jump away. I have a lot to learn, but I am getting there. Keep up the work, my friend!
Funny, my training partner almost never airdodges, just puts out a neutral air or something, and I'm there ready to bait out an airdodge from him everytime and I get hit. Smh I feel stupid
Is there a way to somehow practice not to panic(I doubt it, but still)? Recently lost a set because I got stuck with my jump under the stage and used side b instead of up b out of panic.
Use your down Smash if it hits both sides when you're unsure. It'll hit them if they roll behind or try and hit you. If you know they are going to roll just pick your character's strongest option. Turnaround and grab with Mario, Up B with Bayonetta, Cross Slash with Cloud, things like that.
surprised you didn't cover always rolling as that is a habit as common as panic air dodges are. Many times there are better ways to get back to safety than rolling everywhere and I think you should cover that if you haven't already done so.
I try to break the habit of air dodging, but it's not easy. But sometimes when someone is about to attack me, I just decide to take the hit, it's a start(i still have a hard time reading opponents' air dodges). But fortunately, I don't roll too much anymore. I'm doing very well now.
i want zeRo to do a video on landing options. because that's where most of my mistakes come from, especially using robin who doesn't exactly have the greatest landing options.
b reversing is my favourite landing option out of those two. i don't really rely on elwind too much because if they juggle you at low percents, the knockback will be too low to actually do anything and you can easily be punished. if they're at high percents, maybe.
I use to have a horrible rolling habit to the point that was the main thing I did during the match. I've completely gotten over it but now I have another problem. Punishing people with that problem I had.
What's up guys, been following this channel ever since i've been getting crushed online (which is making me go crazy). I've won only 2 times and lost 14 times today which is really stressful. For some reason i feel so nervous when i'm playing a matchup, will this nervousness shrug off if I play more?
#1- Not Going for Disrespect kills.
going for disrespect and failing

+TurboPikachuX This is great. I think I've seen some Robin players do that with his Nosferatu.
+TurboPikachuX Empty jump grab has been a thing in games like Street Fighter since the early 90's... Not sure why people don't do it more...
"For the love of everything that is good in Xenoblade" That line is so good. So good.
Definitely a great advice video though - I'll work on being more aware of that in my own Smashing.
Man! You've been really feeling it with all this referring to Xenoblade! Awesome!
Common Mistake 1: Having Fun. Every second you enjoy the game makes you far worse at the game. In fact, if you feel any emotions other than hate, rage and triumph, you're playing wrong.
I second this
some people have fun?
i thought it was a myth
Having fun doesn't mean playing bad without any techniques
+Xeiter X You can have fun even when you're a good player
So basically this list is "top 1 mistakes" and #1 is "being predictable"
Our Boy Roy is better than Sonic
It should be fairly obvious. "Being predictable" means doing the same thing over and over. So..it should help anyone with a brain at least lol

Airdodging AKA How to Get Killed by Fox's Up B 101
What? Why Up-B of all things? It's really bad in neutral.
+boettam up b is a solid kill option/ percent gainer if you get the airdodge read.
+Gummball64 no, no its not.
Hello? If you've ever played as fox you know people are scared af of your uair, so they airdodge like crazy.
+Gummball64 Literally any other aerial move is still a better option than Up-B. Even fastfall-charge smash is a better option than Up-B at this point.
What's the #1 mistake? Playing For Glory.
yeah nairo only really plays for glory and he's top 3 in sm4sh
+jorge jimenez He travels to tournies all the time tho, and that's how he got good as well as his fundamentals. His Doc was made from for glory, but it got bodied as of recent.

+Akadoo TRUE
Since we're all sharing stories, mine is doing character dittos. I always feel so pressured to win and weird playing against my favorite character
+Kayy Galaxy omg... Your 100% right. I feel literally the same way, if someone picks shulk against me, I loose.
+Kayy Galaxy For me its the exact opposite, sure I feel pressured to win, but I already have in my mind that I'm going to win cause "its my character dammit" so I end up winning cause I usually know how to fight against my character really well, as in, I already have an idea of what my opponent is capable of.

for the love of Xenoblade XD
Heres a question. I main Villager ( obviously ) and when people shield the only real counter is grab, but his grab is trash any suggestions?
+Derpager Main LLoid Rocket can condition them into shielding or rolling depending on the player, and jabbing pressures their shield.
Pressure them with fairs, bairs, and missiles. If you see them continuously shielding, you can go for a surprise grab.
Be glad you don't main Pac-Man.
So a lot of people have been wondering about Outlast.
He actually finished that AND the DLC of Whistleblower on stream lmao
he finished on Twitch :^]

I might also lump using counter in with that air dodge one. I come across a lot people online who get antsy and start spamming their counter, but it's especially bad in the air
I much preferred this thumbnail, thank you ZeRo! =D I have another suggestion, the bright flash you've placed when you display the title of the next mistake is a little bright and bothers my eyes. Maybe it's just me, but perhaps dim it or find another way to accentuate the titles. Thanks for another awesome video! You're really helping us out! =D
I didn't have any issues with eye strain from this video personally. Maybe try reconfiguring your regular computer setup to reduce eye strain conditions? things like adjusting your screen brightness, ambient light in the room, etc. I don't know exactly how you would go about this, so searching it up online might be a good idea.

Oh and shielding too much.
You don't even need a Shield Breaker (or equivalent), just a few smash attacks (or generally strong hits) and their stock is yours.
+PH's Replays You're right, the second that their shield is broken their fate is practically clear, they are gonna die.

I definitely burn my double jump early, and I could manage grabbing some more. I've focused so much on rolling and ledge options, I haven't thought about this stuff!
Where is accidently Meteor smash of stage to your death, Screw up your recovery, or use the wrong recovery move?
Could you teach us cool techs we can use such as wavebouncing b reversing the perfect pivot etc.... I would love to see how you make use of them
When a video on mistakes was uploaded on your birthday
Hey thanks ZeRo! This will definitely help me get better at smash. Any chance you could redo your Falcon guide? It's a little outdated at this point.
AWESOME! He took my suggestion! :)
What's the ending song called.. it sounds like something from radiant historia.... or yoko shimomura at least.
It's from xenoblade chronicles. I'm not sure what it's called
I seem to have no success in grabbing opponents nearby out of mid-air. My friend gets me as Mario all the time when I'm R.O.B. falling back to the stage. He does this from behind a shield, yet when I try it with similar grab-range characters, I always fail and get punished.
What is the name of the music you’re playing during the credits from Xenoblade?
I never have an idea what to do when i grab as rosalina...
I see my friends air dodge all the time. I always punish them HARD for. For example, me and my friend were playing on the bus. I was Mario, and he was at the Dthrow to Fair combo.

+ZeRo umm.... Can I use this video for a little project I'm doing? I'll give u credit
I have a problem with always wanting to jump back on. I often forget there are other options lol
Can you make a video on ways on how to train your selves to break habits, like harder habits to break then the common ones.
1:Using male corrin
I stand up/get up attack form the ledge way too often, and with the same timing, too.
some of us have some work cut out for us now. Thanks ZeRo!
Thanks so much ZeRo! This video was really helpful
Is there a way to somehow practice not to panic(I doubt it, but still)? Recently lost a set because I got stuck with my jump under the stage and used side b instead of up b out of panic.
I have a huge problem punishing rolls. Its so infuriating going on for glory and losing to a scub because they roll the whole time. Tips?
Get good
Use your down Smash if it hits both sides when you're unsure. It'll hit them if they roll behind or try and hit you. If you know they are going to roll just pick your character's strongest option. Turnaround and grab with Mario, Up B with Bayonetta, Cross Slash with Cloud, things like that.
I get the goosebumbs whenever I hear Colony 9's theme, hnnngh.
does anyone know the name of the song Zero used at the end? I know its from Xenoblade but i'm having a tough time finding it.
surprised you didn't cover always rolling as that is a habit as common as panic air dodges are. Many times there are better ways to get back to safety than rolling everywhere and I think you should cover that if you haven't already done so.
I try to break the habit of air dodging, but it's not easy. But sometimes when someone is about to attack me, I just decide to take the hit, it's a start(i still have a hard time reading opponents' air dodges). But fortunately, I don't roll too much anymore. I'm doing very well now.
i want zeRo to do a video on landing options.
because that's where most of my mistakes come from, especially using robin who doesn't exactly have the greatest landing options.
b reversing is my favourite landing option out of those two. i don't really rely on elwind too much because if they juggle you at low percents, the knockback will be too low to actually do anything and you can easily be punished. if they're at high percents, maybe.
Has ZeRo been in any tournaments recently, except for like PAX South Arena? Is it off season or something?
+August Celine III If I'm not mistaken, it's related to health issues. He should be coming back soon.
Mossy Cool cool.

thanks for the tip.
I love your videos ZeRo! Keep it up!
Very helpful video! I totally agree with #1. Thank you for spreading your knowledge to me, ZeRo!
For the love off everything thats good in xenoblade so bassicly everything right?
Yes
Except for Disciple 1.
I use to have a horrible rolling habit to the point that was the main thing I did during the match. I've completely gotten over it but now I have another problem. Punishing people with that problem I had.
Great video, well explained and presented. Keep the good work!

What's up guys, been following this channel ever since i've been getting crushed online (which is making me go crazy). I've won only 2 times and lost 14 times today which is really stressful. For some reason i feel so nervous when i'm playing a matchup, will this nervousness shrug off if I play more?
What's the name of the outro song? I know it's probably from Xenoblade but I've never played the games.

What I noticed is with a lot of people is after they hit a shield they don't retreat, they continue to hit the persons shield
