@Gavin King yeah i know it is but i believe wpmm was referring to casual smash players who press the A and B buttons as hard as they can to "make their moves do more damage" similar to how some people rotate their controller in racing games to "turn faster"
This isn't really a guide for beginners, as it already assumes you know how to perform every type of attack, grabs, jumps, shielding, how to get off ledge etc. This is guide is for players that already know how to play casually, but want to get better at the game
I think a good idea for a video would be something like “How to avoid building bad habits”. I know it’s super hard to change something you’ve been doing a long time so I’d rather avoid making habits I will have to fix later.
You don’t understand the bad habits I have 😂 I started playing brawl at like 8 I was shit at the game obviously but now I’m stuck since they are so engrained in me to just do dumb plays
before getting into teching and RAR and DI, the real first-timers gotta know about stuff like, how does one do a smash attack? what is an "up bee", is it anything like updog? how does one return to the stage after falling off? what, is the DEAL, with "shielding, grabbing, and dodging"? lest we now-pros forget our humble roots of not being able to do any of these things
Exactly, I'm not ashamed to say I have literally never played a Smash game before and splurged on ultimate to see what the fuss is about. I have no idea wtf I'm doing lmao someone help
Thanks for this video. I´m a beginner in smash (cause only have nindendo handhelds and didn´t play smash on 3ds) but was curious about the game and followed it. So playing smash today for the first time was nice and overwhelming together (maybe someone remember her/his start with the game). So these informations a very good for me to come faster into the game. I get more and more the feeling that this game is far more complex than it looks from only watching few combat videos. But i like this
I remember the first time I played smash! such a great memories playing melee as a kid thanks for reminder c;. Hope you enjoy ultimate and welcome to the scene! :D
It is more complex based on each character. Every character has an up, down, and side special (usually the b button) These specials are much different for each character, I reccomend you use kirby as your first character, he is a very good choice to start with
I just came from my first session playing it and ... boy was I wrong about the complexity. xD but this video gavea nice outline of what too look forward to. And Im glad others had the sme idea watchign this video here ...
This video is an interesting concept. Perhaps a better title would be "Beginner's Guide to Competitive Smash Bros"? It's sort of like talking to someone new to Street Fighter and telling them about the different kinds of cancels and counters. I expected this video to teach someone fighting basics, such as guarding, perfect guarding, how damage affects launch distance, or how to choose who to play. This video is all about the terminology which wouldn't matter much to probably most bew players of this game. Great video, though! I never really understood what "neutral game" referred to before.
After watching numerous videos featuring this game over the years and not being able to understand what's going on, i opened this video in hopes to finally find out what do "health percentages" mean and how do you win in this game. This video wasn't helpful at all...
@@pecanrockin Well for now im still in Europe so but i will study in Canada so it will be easier for me to travel in US. But i will do it, suscribe i will start making videos in Canada
Bought this game today, kinda sad there isnt a tutorial. Played campaign for 4 hours and I have no idea what im doing at all. Im still discovering new attacks/moves. Its really overwhelming EDIT: after about 8 hours in solo mode I can finally feel like I kinda know what im doing and not just spamming all buttons lmao
@@ppppppppp-fz4nh aww dang. Its fun to play competitively imo. I went from rarely playing it to really wanting to learn it and now I'm in love with Smash and play it almost every day
@@jaidsalgado haha i`m in love with smash when not playing it,when i play online i feel so erm pathetic, stupid etc.SSB used to be my favourite series of games,but now i`ve sulked like a big kid and put my GCN controller and switch in a cupboard out the way lmao.I used to play wario and also found myself just smash attacking and couldn`t/can`t get the hang of just just like the f-attacks etc was just like i was pressing the c stick all the time when not.
@@carlchesterman6657 my dude you had the wrong controller settings lol. Your c-stick should be set to do tilt attacks and not smash attacks. Wario is a very good character and is super strong. Maybe you should pick Ultimate back up 🤔😅
Salt is me. I pre-ordered and was meant to get Ultimate early today. I didn't, and it looks like it isn't coming anytime soon. To make it worse, the delivery company delivering it went to my neighbor's place.
Finally bought this after not having a console for 4....But JEEBUS do I suck right now. Gonna have to grind through all your tutorials that I'm sure you'll make!
Great video, one small recommendation, when you talked about the combo I would suggest you put the combo that you are talking about in the video. It just makes it easier to see how they string together, especially for new players
While this is a super helpful guide, a true "beginners" guide to Ultimate would cover the very basics like movement and how shields and rolls work. Still a great vid tho!
New to smash, not to fighting games, and so while I understood most of the concepts here, fundamentally everything I needed to know about what separates smash from the rest of the fighting game genres is missing from this video. I get that to competitive players movement is a huge practice time investment and then a powerful fundamental part of the kit once its there, its the same way in Tekken, but we dont start off our beginners with Korean backdash cancelling because thats not relevant to beginner play and learning the game in the slightest. This is definitely an intermediate guide, and from what I can tell a solid one too, but it didnt do me any good this time. 😶
Thanks for the video, but it's not really a beginners guide. It's more of how to get good for somewhat experienced players. Would love to see a true beginners guide.
I feel like DI is much more important in Ultimate! In training mode, I was using Link at 80% and put a Motion Sensor Bomb, then DI up, down, and diagonal-down (in direction of the stage), and damn, those grids help a lot!
You do not need to press down to run cancel. You just have to release the stick to neutral to enter the run stop animation, and that animation is fully cancelable.
hey i’m no smash expert but i don’t think you have to press down to do a running tilt. you can just let go of left stick and then tilt with the right stick.
Iam a casual smash player who got in on smash 4 and would like to get pretty decent at ultimate and i think it would really help if you made separate videos to expand upon some of these more complicated topics
I'll just leave a comment here, seeing as this game got me back into smash. I started out in brawl without any friends, so I only played the story mode and and against cpu. Ofcourse that's pretty easy once you get used to it. So when this game came around and I heard your friends from FWOB talk about guides, I looked for one and found your video. And I am honestly thankful that you want to share this and help people understand the game. It helps me better understand what I am actually hearing from other people and discover all the things a character can even do. So thank you Esam and I hope to see more upcoming videos about how to play smash. Sincerely a new subscriber.
Pretty sure this is a great video for advanced players, but not for beginners. I'm a totally new to smash and I'm for example struggling pretty hard getting back on stage when thrown off (double jump and up+special??? or so). This would've been the most important guide for me for a start: how to recover. But this one veery key princeple is never covered in the "beginner guides" I feel.
I’ve never played a single Smash game in my life. Early this morning I played ten minutes of this with Ridley and now I want to buy a Switch just for this game
this is like a beginner's video for people who watch plenty of competitive smash and already know the basics. Not a beginner's video for people who truly suck at smash.
I am brand new to the SSB franchise, so thank you very much for this guide. More guides to help newer players would be incredibly helpful and appreciated. Thank you for your channel.
Thank you! I played meele as a kid but didn’t know what I was doing lol. This helped a lot because I remember how much fun I used to have not knowing anything. now I have learned a lot, witch makes it a whole new game to me
I came here to learn what a down throw was Instead I got lectured on teching, short hops, and everything else that's a good three levels too advanced for me
This kinda shows how hard it is for Pros to think like a beginner. I was looking for a video I can send a friend who has never played Smash before. He doesn't need to know how exactly a Hitbox works. He needs to know what's the difference between a jab, a tilt and a smash attack.
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve played brawl and four before, but this is the first time I’ve ever wanted to get into it completely. Your videos are a huge help thank you so much
could you go over the new perfect shield? I could do it consistently in smash 4 but with the new changes, I'm having problems getting the timing right.
Hey Man, thanks for this Video!. I grew up on Mortal Kombat & Never played any of Super Smash Bros Games. I Divorced PlayStation & Xbox. Married to Nintendo Switch Now. Loving the Switch. Lol
This was so dope! Please make a video for the next level. For people that have been in the tourney scene, but can't make it to the next level. Seems like I get bopped if I approach and bopped if I don't.
this sadly isn’t that great of a tutorial. I’ve played smash for years and bringing up things like RAR in a beginners tutorial is a horrible idea. Also i know you use pikachu but that’s a bad character to use for a tutorial because a lot of moves look flashier ie. more complicated. A character like mario is perfect for tutorial videos as all of his moves are very simple and telegraphed very clearly. Also your explanation of neutral was way too complicated, simply saying “it’s when no character has a clear advantage or disadvantage over the other, and they are fighting to gain control over the stage and put the other player into a disadvantaged state” is a clear and concise explanation. The teching explanation was also missing the part where you showed the difference between not teching and teching, the player needs to know why it’s a valuable thing to learn. I like you as a youtuber but if you want to get new people into the game you need to make it sound as beginner friendly as possible.
Advantage and disadvantage is a lot simpler than you make it out to be. Advantage would be when your opponent's options are limited and yours are not. IE they are offstage and need to recover, so their options are limited - They *must* do x, and you are in a position to use that information to punish. I don't like the way people use the advantage/disadvantage terminology in Smash 4 commentary and hopefully people bring some nuance back into describing nuetral.
I feel like making things like these clear to beginning players should be top priority. It's really valuable information and helps guide one into the right mindset.
I have never played the game so far, and after I watched this video, I certainly won't. For a game so inaccessible to beginners, I wonder how anyone can consider this a good couch-coop-title.
He really should've titled this "Beginner Guide to Competetive Smash Ultimate" You don't need to know half this in order to play the game casually, the most complicated you'll get in casual play is how to use your different attacks and when Aerials------------ Press the attack button in the air, the direction you point joy-stick will change the attack when you press the attack button Tilt Attacks-------------- Move the Joy-Stick slightly without moving it too fast then press the attack button(you can change the sensitivity in the controls) and point it in different directions, if you don't move the stick it will perform a jab Smash Attacks------------ Flick the Joy-Stick quickly in a direction, doing so will result in a slower but more powerful attack Specials------------ Each character comes with their own unique Special Attacks that have their own button assigned to them. These attacks are usually the defining traits of a character and their descriptions can be found in the pause menu Sheilds and Grabs-------- When you hold the shield button you are temporarily immune to most damaging attacks, however, using the shield and it taking damage will shrink the shield and if your shield breaks as a result you will be unable to move or attack for a short time. When you grab someone they cannot move but will be able to break free of your hold by mashing Jump or Attack, after grabbing someone you can Throw them by movig the Joy-Stick in any of the relative directions(Up, Down, Backwards, Forwards) Anything else you may posssibly need will be in the help section for your convienience at any time
I have a hard time hitting the f- tilt instead of the side-a (don't know if that is what it is called). Half of the time I hit the f- tilt, the other half the side- a. Am I missing something here or do you just have to learn it by practising very hard?
So I’ve been playing smash since brawl. Didn’t play a ton of smash 4 but felt like I knew what I was doing. But boy have my eyes been opened trying to short hop nair drag down(as pikachu) Oof
thank you very much for this vid, ive been playing smash since brawl, but super casually, and i wanted to get a little more competitive with this one, and those tips helped me a lot. For example i didnt know you could do Jump+attack to do the short hop ! :D
