How to Deal with Safe Moves - Smash Ultimate 

THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD WTF

G&W mains: what’s being trapped in shield

I believe that the man in the red hat is named “Mid tier”

I was not emotionally ready for an uh oh stinky remix

Bananaboy: uploads video Me: not now i need to study Also me: a small price to pay for salvation

Piranha Plant: What’s a safe move?

The gut in the red hat is named Maro. With a capital L.

Most top tiers are just safe bair after safe bair until the oponnent makes a mistake

"Use your characters kit to your arvantage" Me a bayo main: I'll just skip that :)

“It just becomes unfun,” *shows Yoshi doll*

Thanks for the video I'm doing a tournament today at school and the person who beat me last time played a super good marth he had amazing spacing and he 2-0 Me hopefully I win today edit I came 3rd lost both matches to the amazing marth

I gotta be honest, I've never been a huge fan of "uh oh stinky," but I think the bit in this vid is one your best gags yet. It came out of absolutely nowhere and the editing and voiceover were absolutely PERFECT. In general your style of comedy + info is really fun. Sometimes I watch even when not in the mood to learn because they're so funny.

The patience jump could be called the "Safe Hop" if we want it to fit with current smash terminology

I mean I know a lot of people don't ledge pressure to be good sports. Just saying

Imagine being trapped in a shield This was made by game and watch gang Edit: Gang and watch* Btw thx for likes

What I got away from this is essentially patient playing beats people spamming “safe” moves, which is very much something I needed to learn, thanks Banana!

Thank you for these fantastic tutorials/tricks! Keep up the good work!

6:25 even better Greninja wants dash attack during all percent

0:51 That Madoka transition has just made you my favorite Smash RU-vidr instantly

2:45 lmao that's funny not 'cause you used cloud's limit, but because limit got nerfed to only 15 seconds of it being active in this game. You have deserved my like.

I love that transition to the patience jump there was a similar one in my favorite anime madoka magica

Seriously, I’m gonna actually binge watch your tutorials. Your tutorials are so fun and really entertaining and really help us out. Obviously all of us are all different in terms of level, skills, mains and whatnot, but even for people that just want to get better in tournaments and wanna be the best, or casuals who may not play smash a lot of may not have Online or many friends to play with and practice. I love seeing how much work and effort you put into your videos for us. So thanks man as always.

Immediately showing Bowser and whirling fortress was pretty much the entire video in one tiny clip, and I love it

I really like these videos. Not necessarily because it teaches me something new because it usually is something I do understand, but something I often have difficulty actually recognizing and thinking about in a game. But hearing someone else explain it with clean examples and explanations is a good way to remind me to think about these things.

Since I play Toon Link, my grab never misses on spaced aerials... But it's so slow it whiffs on their spot dodge anyways

Was quite literally just thinking about how I wanted bbssb video on this yesterday. Thank you bb! also big fan of the major points slide.

Your videos are so full of memes but also so helpful and thought-provoking. It's awesome.

I'm only a couple minutes in, and I can already tell this channel is something special. Your explanations are exactly what I need to improve! Subscribed.

Ah, yes, vocaliod music as the outro. My fave

Imagine not being subbed to banana boy Kinda cringe bro

As always you have the most helpful content I've seen, excellent work and I will make sure to start applying these into my gameplay

This has by far been one of the best smash tutorial videos out there! 🤔

I've watched all your previous smash videos and enjoy all of them, but I gotta say this one made me sub lol

Bro can I just say you're editing has gotten amazing. I literally had to pause the video and like it because of the Snuggy commercial making me laugh

man I love this channel and it's content you're the best Bananaboy

This video is simply excellent on many levels, thank you so much !

Thanks man. Dealing with spacing has probably been the biggest thing that’s holding me back

I must say, I’m quite grateful that this video came in my Feed! I main Hero, and as controversial as he is; he has several bad matchups. I always find myself infuriated when I can’t rebuttal my opponents attacks. So when you suggested to be patient, I found that extremely helpful. This video is humorous and informative, so I’m subbing to this channel. Can’t wait to see more great content!

You definitely deserve much more subscribers. You provide the most useful tips and your edits are hilarious. I love watching your humor that you sneak into your videos, as well as explaining how to deal with many situations you may find yourself in within a match. No other youtuber explains things the way you do. Thank you for sharing your infinite knowledge of the game to us. And I hope that your channel grows to be huge. As it deserves much more than it is right now. Please keep up your great work and entertaining content/personality. 😁❤️🙏

Liked and Subscribed, i just participated in a tournament and barely lost in quarters against some top player here in the state but he didnt even use his main, meh, my point is, i see how I lack on any of these knowledge and I believe that if I practice this I can have a better chance to win next time against those top players. Thank you sir. Keep em comin, ill practice these meanwhile!

Thank you for this video! I really needed that train of thought

"How to punish safe spacing" part DOS, good one banana boy

Your tutorials on how to be good in smash are great I made a playlist just to use those as time when ever I'm stuck or need help in a fight lmao ur great!

You’ve quickly become one of my top 3 favorite smash content creators and only now did I notice I wasn’t subscribed. I was part of the 80% 😭

Discussing about expecting the most common options for your opponent while approaching is also a major part of parrying in 3rd Strike. I can't recommend it more for Smash players as a way to get into that mindset. I also really liked the advice about choosing to not engage with safe spaced attacks. There aren't just positive and negative jings, to steal a line from Avatar, there is also neutral jing. The art of waiting.

I like how you gave low tier characters options too

Great video seems to be the answer for my only weak point in my play. Also just great to think about less obvious options for falco who doesn’t have great OoS stuff to begin with

When you leave you favourite your bed for a bit, and when you get back they have 100x the amount of subscribers

all of your videos are so perfect thank you so much for being the best teacher on earth

I had saved this to my watch later, but never actually watched it later until now... a year later. I've struggled with this for that long when I could've watched this sooner! It's so late that I literally figured this out just earlier today...

Nice video. We need more technique videos like these

Thank you for this video! Thanks for your time and your work :)

@BananaBoySSB Love your vids, man. Very informative and entertaining. 👍

Nice video man!! You really helped me

Wow, I'm a new player and I play Joker, so I've been frustrated with his lack of strong OOS options. That tip about the safe jump has actually helped me punish all the aggro players I've been facing. Awesome tip!

You got a new sub thanks to that lil call out at the end ;)

Just what Dark Wizzy needed rn, good timing 👍🏻

I was literally dealing with an aerial spamming Marth last night that was extremely evasive. This is definitely what I need to look into

I use an emulator for my PC and started playing ssb4 on it. But I'm planning on getting Switch and Ssbu soon so I obviously need a main, and I messed around with Yoshi for a while and I never realized how much he matched my playstyle. I never considered him before, but your videos helped a lot on showing me how to properly use him, so maybe there will be one more of your kind in the near future.

I used to be one of the people that would just view but never subscribed. It's been about a month now & I don't regret it! You rock dude ! Keep informing us with your videos ! #SmashtillyouCrash

thank you so much for your great content!!

This is exactly what I wanted, thank you so much, also I love you

Thank you for including mewtwo in the vid!

Love your videos! (and yes, I've been subscribed #20%)

I don't know why but I like your choice of music that you play in your videos LMAO

Okay okay okay, it's been long enough. I'll subscribe, I owe you this much in return for all of the content 😂

Holy crap.. I just noticed.. I'm one of those ppl that haven't subsribed.. thanks for pointing that out. You have a lot of good info.. dont know how that slipped passed me.

me: you get shield pressure if you don't use shield new players: there's a shield button?

Hello. Banana boy, I just want to say thank you for all of these helpful episodes. If you see this please reply or else I will never know you saw it. You are my favorite smash youtuber because of the great content you consistently post, these have helped me a lot. Thank you!

Great content, thanks!

dead ass just subbed for the chance of tuna good videos tho man great advice, even for top level players to remember

So I've been watching you for some time now and tbh lots of your stuff helps I'm ranked in SD and your things STILL come in handy it's nice to get reminders was wondering if your going to genssis?

Ur cool for helping everyone who needs it, or even some that just like hints.

Honestly wasn't quite gonna sub but then you said PinnochioP is your current favorite vocaloid artist and that did it for me. gg

Your tutorials r cool and hilarious!

Saw PinocchioP on S tier and subscribed immediately.

Great video thanks!

You should've gave a special mention to the PFC. Godlike tech for spam punishing

"special thanks: Pokemon mystery dungeon" * immediately subscribes*

I agree that being patient while shielding is a great idea and then follow up with a punish. That's my preferred method. Yet, sometimes, you have to be more aggressive than your opponent. It all depends on the player.

Holy shit this is exactly what void taught us in his latest video. Awesome video !

I subbed because of your spiel at the end

Love the PMD music.

Hey BannaBoy I just wanted to take this comment to let you know im from utah to and you make some really great videos and I hope to meet you sometime (you are on the pr) keep up the good work

Caught the monogatari reference, amazing

First time watching your vids you told me to sub so I subbed

Awesome video! Definitely will try the patience jump and patience shield. I have a request for you, though: as a fellow Yoshi main, I have a hard time finding good resources for combos. Most of the time, it's just a RU-vid video that's just a bunch of clips edited together. Do you think you could do a run-down of the combos you use most often, and how to practice them?

Your videos give me hope that spammers will watch them and actually be good at the game.

One other thing to think about is range and priority. If the person is doing a safe move, but you have more range and a bigger disjoint, then you can shut that move down if you see it coming. This takes some good timing, but it does substantial mental damage if a Mario gets f-tilted by Lucina every tine he goes for a b-air, sometimes enough that they stop using that move entirely for a minute or two despite it being one of his best tools for edge guarding, spacing, punishing, and starting combos. In other words, it’s possible to “steal away” that safe move from an opponent depending on MU knowledge and how you decide to go about combating it, especially if said attack is a big part of their game plan.

Great video

As a madoka magica fan, the transition at 00:51 was *godlike*

How to punish a good character: 1. Change your main 2. Spam their broken tactic

Bannanaboy: I don't remember who this red guy is 5 seconds later fox is doing a quick Nair on Mario

The vocaloid tier list is enough to make me sub, expected anything but that

good video melonman very informative very funny very cool

As an Ike main I definitely learned the value of jumping after a safe move on shield

This was a great guide, and something i definitely needed some advice on!

YES THE VOCALOID SONGS ARE BACK SUBBED

Subbed for the vocaloid P tier list

you are my favourite youtuber :)
