Boosted Pivot Cancelling (BPC) - Universal Ultimate Tech 

Wanna be clear about something so you don't get confused. People have already been maximizing their distance, they just didn't realize they were going into run skid before run pivot. The point of BPC is to understand the base mechanics, and use that to come up with a better input / timing in order to more consistently get that maximized distance!

"As most of you know, you can press forward on the control stick to get a forward dash." The guy who's been walking and standing:🤯

If you attack cancel the attack into an air dodge, you get a cool wavedash movement with a couple of characters. I’ve found it best with Simon. :)

Most fsmash stop momentum. Notably, samus's doesn't. We use it for combos out of charge shot that can take stocks absurdly early, 30 or 40%. This can make that a lot more consistent. Most play with tilt stick, though...

this is so brawl, can't wait to see a sliding upsmash from link lol

as someone who plays mainly p+/melee/hdr these are really convincing me to go back to ultimate and try some of this LOL

Snapback has been giving me frame-perfect pivot cancels for years.

Since we're talking about pivot tilts I should bring up that there's a small number of values on the right stick between up or down and the diagonals which will give you forward facing pivot up or down tilt. The method I use for forward facing pivot tilts is just pushing back on the left stick and one of these angles on the right stick. The advantage is that it completely removes any timing from the equation while the disadvantage is that it is a pretty precise movement. I wouldn't suggest it for everyone but my right thumb is a fair bit more dexterous than my left so it works for me. Its for sure a known thing but I don't think it's common knowledge.

ROB finna go crazy with perfect pivot cancel downtilt

The amount of work that goes into this stuff is really awesome GimR. Great work man!

Day 5 is about to be a banger💪🔥🎄

Really good video! I have crossed up shield with pivot cancels before and now I know why it can happen

Ive been doing this with Palu F tilt and d tilt forever because it covers so much

Something fun with smash-stick is that you can turn around like the pivot and hold down-smash and slide with it farther. It likely works off of something related to this and your friction values.

I feel like this is going to be crazy with kazuyas already broken dash options

Do you understand how insanely good this makes sonic, whos already top 2 in the game

Another banger from GimR, thanks man!

My friend and I sometimes play an alternate game-mode w/ ice and wind. We already have charts for each character for the slipperiness for each grounded move, and commonly use boost-pivots, since some moves only become fully-slide potent when pivoted. This def turns it to the next level though, Longer slides each time sounds really good in some situations. Mario (and some of the other 6-frame kicks on forward tilt) can do boost pivot filt - grab in the game-mode, I wonder if this can finally carry over to reg smash w/ how long his boost pivot is now.

little mac is about to get crazy. normal pivot ftilt was crazy enough, but BOOSTED? we're so back.

Yo I've been doing this since ultimate came out for ness down smash at the ledge

Ah yes, Better Petroleum Cola™️

I hate that I know this because I will break my fingers trying to get good at this. Frag.

I called these sliding tilts when i did them in a match. Did not know the machines behind them.

i only recently found out i could do this with roy, and he has heaps of new techs

What happened to days 6 and 7?

this tech already existed in super smash flash 2 for very long lol. Most SSF2 players already did this when playing ultimate

Does captain falcons long turn around anim effect this at all?

Does this not work with Roy's dtilt?

I been doing this without knowing☠️

These videos are mindblowing to me. My cousins are FUCKED when we meet for Christmas

anything to make smash players do motion inputs

Is possible to do pivots without tilt stick, just tightly inconsistent.

I been using this 1 for awhile now the tilts dont work with everyone like bayo and marth but it works with all the miis Also i play with D- Pad so its easier to do immediate directional inputs

Can you explain the difference between this and extended dash cancel (EDC)? I’m assuming this slides farther?

These are becoming more absurd by the day

i see greninja i click

This shit actually good as hell. Gotta give props

This isnt new btw, ppl have already been doing this without knowimg

B-P-C ENJOY IT

man as a smash stick greninja main i was v excited until i noticed that you need tild stick :( cool stuff tho~!

can kazuya abuse this?

Is there any way to do a turn aroujd up tilt with this that’s just as fast as using diagonal up C stick for turn aroujd up tilt

TLDW......the buffer system blows

:O

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fun fact! A year or two ago I faced a samus who liked to combo charge shot into pivot cancel fmash. That move slides with insane reach, it was very scary

Gimr: “run, let go of your control stick, then hit back, and c stick a frame later.” Me, an ics player:”where have i heard this before?”

Get my limited time Back To The Lab Hoodie Here: spif.space/gimr

Marth officially has top tier tilts. Edit: 4:23 I was also doing this for a long time. Didn't know it was this underutilized, though. Nice to see it get popularity

My main in the thumbnail, instant click! Greninja~

i think perfect pivot cancel is a better name because we can sai PPC and it rolls off the tongue way easier and naturally than BPC but this one is fantastic, thanks m8

I love how this allows certain* grounded hitboxes to cover more area

Yooo imagine this for ryu or Ken for D/U-tilt 😮

Hey man, thanks for your videos. You have some of the best explanations for Smash tech I've seen, and as someone who didn't grow up with fighting games, I greatly appreciate the simple yet thorough breakdowns. Btw, do you know why some characters, like Roy, completely halt their momentum during up-tilt and/or down-tilt? Is it just a property of the character/move for balancing reasons?

Not thank you for letting us hear the Greninja's utilt sound in detail X)

Perfect Pivot Cancel abbreviates to PPC. Make your choice.

Can't wait for the casuals saying "pff I already do this since day 1"

Finally, a Greninja tech

me, a filthy Smash Stick user:

Idk man this maybe is useful at the tippy top but this is so niche even then

Greninja's up tilt covers a massive area. That's crazy

Oh damn this actually looks big

5:11 Aposl made it into the video! :D

I hate that all my joycons drift so most techs arent workkng on the go. No am not bring gamecube adapter switch and the whole shit to work guys be real lol.

we are at the moment where tekken inputs are getting real for smash bros

some characters basically get "new dash attack" options with this, nuts.

Doesn't seen useful when GET UP ATTACK is in the game already.

lmao basically command inputs for non shotos

Smash stick sensitivity effects this to i think

Isn't that skid turn desync inputs?

Seph F-Tilt stocks to the moon with this one

i luv gimr

dead game

Do most pros play tilt stick or smash stick, or is it personal preference for the most part?

💊

I wanna do this with Links up tilt and reverse the up tilt because his normal dash attack is very high commital.

Jokers ftilt seems rougher to do than dtilt can anyone look into this and find out if I’m crazy or not

It does feel random at times when you slide further than normal and land the hit it's all in the input timing

I know you said it's pretty much impossible on smash stick, but is that because it's quite literally impossible or a very tight window?

I SEE GENEJINJA I CLICK LES GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (im a gren main lmao)

Another useful vid for diddy letsgooooo

Isn't this just the ics skid desync??

I've been doing this forever with incineroar. I don't have a RU-vid channel so I'm glad you made a video on this so that other people can know as well

how do you smash attack if you remap tilts to c stick. i never understood that really. i tilt with just the normal stick and really low sensitivity but its super inconsistent. can someone help me edit: i‘m using joycons💀

Could possibly help little mac/kirby mains

wasn´t there in issue with pivot down and up tilt ,were if you´re a bit late you do a turn around down or up tilt ?

these subtitles are wild

the new phantom footstool?_??!!!

This guy just explains basic mechanics of the game that everyone knows and gives it some stupid name

Hey, I've something that I think more people should know about. It's not exactly new tech, but it's an application of something some people already do that I almost never see people utilize. If you cancel a dash into a dash of the direction you were originally going to go in, you effectively remove the initial dash distance from the entire action, since you're basically doing an instant dash dance once. This allows you to quickly be actionable at certain distances that are either too close to dash to or too far to walk to. It makes spacing easier and also kinda brings back dash-shielding from previous games. It can be combined with other things like dashwalking (and idk if anyone else knows this, but dashwalking can be done without tilt stick by flicking/rolling up or down and then rolling the stick forward again out of a dash).
