I almost feel cheated by not having to watch two ads and 8 minutes of filler before hearing the true content. what's hilarious is that you actually still put in a joke clip, and went over peripherally related topics before getting to the point...and you will wrapped it up within 2 and a half minutes. really puts perspective on how much time other similar videos waste :P
just tried to consistently do down tilt into back air with fox for hours in training mode with no luck until finding this video now i can do it every time
There's still a better method if you want to input rising RAR : 1. input turnaround 2. Jump + attack like a rising nair 3. Joystick in the attack direction directly after 2.
Great video! I clicked because it was short and I want to see what other smashers are up to, and I came away pleasantly surprised! I'm gonna have to try that diagonal trick (attack cancelling isn't a magical panacea because you can't do an empty hop reversed).
Attack cancel RAR's are more viable than the two other methods of RARing in most situations because you can put out the BAir sooner and in a closer distance.. thus aiding combos a TON. As a Falcon player, attack cancel RAR's are a godsend and I've been using them since launch.
You kinda got it mixed up here. What you described as an attack cancel is actually an instant rar and what you described as an instant rar is just a normal rar but done instantly. An attack cancel is done by inputting an attack and during the first 2 frames of the animation you cancel it by pressing jump and then input the direction of the aerial. It‘s almost identical in input to the instant rar (aka what you described as attack canceling) but an instant rar is performed during an initial dash where attacks can‘t come out so you‘re also not canceling an attack. It‘s a sinilar input but works by abusing mechanics different from an attack cancel, hence the different name. IIRC My Smash Corner got it right in his video
Yw! And yes, to be technical it’s a RAR without running, cuz you still perform it out of initial dash but it can be done as early as frame 1 of the dash
honestly being able to do a consistent attack cancel back air kinda makes RAR pointless. The only real application i can see is that it adds another mix up option out of a full run so your sliding F tilts don't get predictable
Where my stick jump boys at. Lmao it took me like 2 weeks to get the motion down for executing rar aerials but it’s really no more difficult than b reversing. It’s a matter of timing, really.
Idk if it would come from this channel, but I need a video explaining why I always accidentally do nairs instead of fairs when I short hop attack. I wish they kept the 45° rule.
That’s actually a good idea for a video haha. It happens cuz when you buffer an aerial, the game only reads the left stick direction to determine what aerial you choose. Make sure you still watch the video about this if I make it! 😅😅
Hey, Cosmos, I just wanted to let you know I appreciate how you reply to pretty much everyone. I was and am a huge fan of your Corrin in Smash 4, and your Inkling blows my mind. I actually have a question about Inkling, if you have the time. When you up-throw, you seem to be able to perfectly time and reach them with a n-air on the way up, and almost always hit them behind so you can b-air them on the way down. What is your method for doing this so consistently? Often times they are able to get out of my up-throw before the first n-air or up-air connects. Does if they are sent behind you depend on their DI? Thank you! You're my hero, man.
Game5 Smash My bad! You're still a hero, in my book. This guide has already been IMMENSELY helpful due to so much of Inkling's game revolving around her back air in neutral.
One issue I have is the aerial drift. I get the back-aerial, but bost of the times I don't go quite as far forward, or even worse, I stay mostly in place, or even worse still, I go slightly backwards. What can I do?
Dang. I use tap jump so these methods don't work for me much. I can't nail the timing between a full and short hop with buttons but do it consistently with tap jump, which is why i've played that way since Brawl. I play ZSS so I need to RAR Bair often and i'm having a lot of trouble doing nair into rar bair in particular
If you do the other method, it shouldn’t be possible for it to give you any less momentum, cuz the diagonal input doesn’t affect your momentum and you can’t adjust your movement during jumpsquat either way
sticks are so inconsistent for making precise and quick movements, i hate it. I even dislike arcade sticks for that same matter, never got used to them, and i dont like to mash controllers so they do what i need.
