Art of Smash: Beginner - Part 1 

mental damage is the most effective way of affecting your opponent

Good for Kirby

Didn't know ultimate had taunt cancels before this I just thought I wasn't reacting fast enough to get a punish

have to admit, it is pretty easy to aggravate players when you're using Kirby. Somehow he just feels so dirty. Like you're so small they can't hit you and then the down-b from above off the screen always is a perfect enraging revenge. throw in taunts and they will lose their mind.

@@dddmemaybe Don't forget the kirbycide.

Just hold the grey stick towards your opponent and press the attack button. Works great for me.

So play Belmonts?

This should be top comment

>Pick Cloud >Spam Limit >Spam specials when limit is charged

there is a better option - pick character -Spam randomly triggers buttons - you will winn easliy

True

same

Yep

Your friends said it was easy? It is one of the more complicated games in nintendo

@@brosephproseph1741 He said it was easy compared to games like injustice, street fighter and mortal kombat

James Rumsey It’s not. Tekken is probably the only fighting game that is truly more complicated at the end of the day.

@@mirewalker Smash is absolutely easier for beginners than traditional fighters. At top level play Smash is complicated, but the basic inputs are really easy for people with no fighting game experience. No quarter-circle inputs or anything, just press the button while holding the right direction. Hell, you can literally do everything with only three buttons (and analog stick).

Forthelemon Indeed, at a beginner level. I never argued otherwise. But at the top levels of play, I’d say Smash is not any less complicated in certain areas than other fighters. It’s easier in some, harder in others. Melee has more tech than just about any other fighter, Ultimate has more characters. I also don’t think it’s fair to say that because there aren’t quartercircle inputs it’s less “complicated.” Smash still has a shit ton of movement options, tilts, specials, tech, SDI, recovery, character match ups, etc. It’s plenty complicated. Smash also has a unique style of battle, and depleting a health bar is a lot easier for an inexperienced gamer to do than recovering off the stage; there are different hurdles for newcomers to overcome.

sad part he'll still be better than most of us anyways xD

@@Vaith The best way of seeing if you learned something well is by teaching it, after all

He's amazing

I mean this is basically his job. RU-vid pays for views

making money from us :3

Kuzenbo lol yep

Bro you playin on 1 fps

The Kobster 05 lol

@@kob6912 Quick maths

This needs more thumbs up! 😆

yea :,)

yea ;)

How bad are you people? I’m pretty sure a baby could learn these things.

@@Hollow_Tim I don't know if you're joking, but honestly trying to master this *is* very hard. And if it's easy for you, then woo-hoo. Good for you.

@@Melont06 What part are you having trouble with? Moving left and right? Jumping?

Ikr, I had so much fun winning with Peach but when I heard how good she is and saw what she does I just sticked to mashing buttons until I get a turnip or someone dies

I agree, but I feel like it’s more of one of those games that is fun until your friend figures out that it is possible to main a character that isn’t Kirby

Exactly I’m using to playing the wii version then picked this up its sooo different

I'm pretty decent super smash Bros but I do not have smash ultimate yet. I'm one of those people who have the best combos and just keep locking you into it.

Which makes it un fun

MaskedMan-FeraligatrMan same

You said it for me

It's important to learn the basics again for every new game since they change. Not to mention, remembering the basics are always pivotal if you want to win games. edit: for instance I come from pm/melee/brawl and didn't know that I could improve my smash ultimate fox-trot/d-dance by stopping for a ~frame for turn-arounds instead of me just waiting so long instead.

I honestly don't understand your comment at all.

I'm a complete shit beginner, but i know one thing. Forget the basics, you lose. Doesn't matter what.

Yeah man, I thought I was starting to get the hang of it, but I absolutely am not... I didn't even know you could grab someone trying to grab you while blocking. I miss simpler times.

Incredibly complex

He says it in the first minute tho. Your attention span…..

really not that hard

funny seeing you here

Sam Wright underated

@@anxietydarkens8084

Thanks mand

Mane*

You missed the jumping part?

just keep practicing and you’ll destroy him one day

It is easy to pick up but takes a long time to master. Dont worry you will catch up once you figure out what type of fighting style works best for you.

cody neely it’s not easy to play

I need an update

Also, unpopular opinion, but play multiplayer and items and all that chaos. Some people like me really enjoy it and there's a bigger luck factor, so you don't actually need to know every counter and every matchup. Just be clever.

SonDuFilm well I am

SonDuFilm not everyone dedicates life to games

@@Halamadridistas You don't have to dedicate your life to video games to understand what frames are.

Mish Koz whoa mind fucking blown!

Mish Koz the Average workin man who’s going to school and actually doing shit with life does not have time to learn about frames in smash bros not everyone has as much free time as u fuckin highschoolers

The Arch Not all heroes wear capes.

Robo Dragon the best heroes don't wear capes

Thanks! I appreciate this! Once I own the game I'm definitely coming back to this video!

Pin this

Pin it

What ever you set it to it is normally y but I like l

Good mention- the "jump" button, as well as most sets of actions (like Tilt attacks) are mappable to whatever controller option you prefer. In this video, he used button visuals for the GameCube controller. Hopefully this elaborates a bit more for you!

The 'How to play'-guide in-game also states: "To jump, press the jump button". It's not beginner-friendly.

Jesse Z. It’s all explained in the in game video “tutorial” by “beginner” he doesn’t mean “started the game up for the first time 5 seconds ago”

@@bonelesscommunism4031 It doesn't matter now, I sold the game a long time ago because I couldn't figure out the controlls.

I would disagree with starting out as Captain Falcon, unless you want to be treated like a punching bag. He gets comboed pretty easily.

GamingBerserker e

GamingBerserker s

Good for you.

what button combos lead to a grab?

If you would like to improve some more give me your discord and I can give you some advice and training.

I didn’t understand a single thing he said

@@MindRot-mo7vy honestly. This covered every possible thing you can do but seemed to give no just generally helpful tips and focused on instead telling us how many frames attacks took

Izaw is the best guidemaker out there. Definitely share this and his other vids with anyone who's picking the game up :)

this shits still too much wtf are you talking about

Being used to 3d fighters like Tekken, this is definitely a good guide to start out with.

me tooXD i have played like 10 (max) times in my life XD y just got a switch and smash bros ultimate XD

@@DWlsh43 your probably new to fighting games

Yeah man I've been playing for 4 days now. Now that it's been a year later I need some words of encouragement but not lies. Have you been able to master it?

@@ledfloyd9035 Hey, I've been playing casually since 64 came out (actually a few years after since I was really young then) when I was a wee young lad. I played Melee and mostly just smash attacked a bunch. I did this in Brawl a bit but to a lesser extent. I thought that since I had been playing for a long time, I was at least decent at the game. When 12 year old me decided to try going online to battle someone. I was Kirby and stupidly tried to fight a much more experienced player after telling them I was good. Holy hell was I wrong. I still remembered that they played Falco and chain grabbed me to death on Final Destination for all of one match. I learned that I was not good at all and they mocked me a bit in chat and I got pretty sad and didn't play online again until Ultimate came out. I did play a bit of Brawl with some IRL friends but they were complete beginners and complained that I was a try hard even though I still sucked. I was always interested in Smash 4, but never got it. After Ultimate came out, I was heavily invested in the Switch and I always loved Smash reveals. The hype for the game won me over and I wasn't disappointed. I even played with a few uni friends after we graduated. I beat World of Light on hard, picked a few mains, and practiced a bit. I watched some Smash guides such as this and played against my uni friends. Eventually, I started incorporating small things, like teching to reduce lag, fast falling a lot more, and working on spacing in general A LOT. I would say I am actually quite decent so far. I probably couldn't hold a torch to pro level play, but I always feel like I've been steadily growing and gaining more experience with this game. I hope this helps if it isn't too late!

*plays Villager and spams Side-B for the entirety of WOL* Guess I’ve found my main

*plays Villager until unlocking Hero, then Hero until unlocking G&W, who's been my main since **_for 3DS_* Guess I've found my main

*Presses Down B (Down Special) all the time with Bowser and Pikachu Guess I have found my main*

reckon I will main kirby as well. my switch comes tomorrow with a copy of this. I wanted to play as the plant or jiggly puff though.

@@awoken8infinite U gotta unlock them first

Hopefully ninetnedo fixes their trash online mode so I can buy the game and wreak complete havoc on of all you people with taunts, spam and camp. Muahahahaahahah

@@user-dn3fn3bg4l You can't even taunt in online LMAO someone kinda cocky

ur mom gay T Bagging isn’t much better than taunting

Honestly, as a casual player/viewer of Smash (and someone who passed on Smash 4 because WiiU), I can safely say that Smash U teaches you fuck all outside of the very basics. I know there's a bunch of techs and stuff that the game has stashed away in the vaults, but that's a lot of reading, and the last thing anyone wants to do after getting a game is read. At least here we have visuals to demonstrate what proper execution looks like.

I like to read that kind of stuff when i get a game though i do play for a few hours first

So true same here. i watch allot of tournament smash matches and always hear things like tech and Neutral air and never really get what was going on ;) now i know what all these things stand for and i can understand the techniques better.

Same I've been playing the game since 64, I had no idea half these moves existed.

@@takeit1229 tbh, some of these didn't exist in previous versions, like perfect dodge (and I THINK Perfect Shield?).

@@serge2cool perfect sheild was in smash 4 but not in the ones before smash 4. but in smash 4 executing it was different

Actually, perfect shielding has been in the game since Melee. Ultimate changed how it worked, though.

Glad you like them!

@World Hunter 300 no u

Veterain

Sandjy Lima : I was going to ask why but I guess that makes sense. Like Mario and the Pits...a little bit of everything for good fundamentals.

Palutena teaches some bad habits because of the s tbh, you end up learning to use dash attack more than you really should with anyone else 😂

I thought windboxes were removed 🤔

@@kamrenblake7105 she still has them

@@kamrenblake7105 she still have them

Raichu 26 this video also teaches you how to walk

@@brownsfan3290 And how to run :D

lol

tbh most player cant walk, and they cant use tilts

I've played since the 64 game and still can't do many advanced techniques like wavedashing or the one where you go back and forth very quickly.

Omg same last time I played smash was mele on my GameCube & im used to playing on an actual controller & not a switch

I played the first one on N64 and now jumping to this, Rip me

Damn thats smart, gonna do that myself

Masci Chief yeah same, Ive been playing Brawlhalla for a while and picked up a lot of bad smash habits

That shit was confusing tbh

I like to take a shot every time ZeRo smacks his lips while talking... I don't recommend it on most of his videos tbh.

+the intro

No Name Just because ZeRo was the best player doesn’t mean he has the best guides

@@Narkos6033 r/woosh

Same with me. I loved playing Smash bros 64 and melee but got so pissed off when I got and played Smash bros U on wii U

So what happened?

same...

If you tap A and jump simultaneously it automatically does a shorthop aerial, doesn’t fix issues with regular shorthops but hey it’s something

Remember that pressing Jump and Attack at the same time will let you perform an automatic short hop attack.

what button do you use to jump and what controller?

I have the same problem. Using a gamecube controller, first I thought it could be the shoulder buttons, but I tried Z and X and it is still as impossible/unreliable.

That's answered as character specific. All characters have different follow ups. Ice climbers for example if your in the mood research them as a comparison to other characters.

How?

@@eliastta437 Shield + b + control stick, roll that around really fast

It’s new to me.

@@fancyb.p.6122 This IS new Some characters can even do specific actions with B+shield, like Kirby or Inklings

You can actually buffer Up-B out of shield if someone hits your shield, but this probably isn't that new considering how long the game's been out. Useful nonetheless.

@@LendinSwiftbolt Not the Up-B buffer, I meant being able to freely shift your shield without dodging by holding B.

Meanwhile I don’t know how to shield

I think it's new in ultimate only

lol me too
