The New Slingshot tech is INSANE for Falcon! 

Sorry about the black intro! Render bug, spotted it too late. Not worth a reupload imo, thanks for understanding guys!

Most excited to see Fatality abuse the slingshot! Technical movement? Yes please! Combo potential? Yes please! Nullification of an infamous weakness? YES. PLEASE.

Lol I just realized in Gimr’s intro he was literally slingshotting irl

Light doing Fox back air at ledge is gonna be nuts

0:17 You know it’s a good Falcon day when Fatality does his sinister laugh

gimr singlehandedly extending the competitive lifetime of the game by like a year minimum

I can't wait to see how players like Fatality and Void implement this tech

The giggle after stomp reverse knee… I knew it was all over after that.

10:10 This would probably be the most optimal way of using Falcon in Ultimate. Falcon's pressure is via aggressive microspacing, and consistent use of slingshotting would help bring Falcon to that point of near-perfection in Ultimate.

Fatality is literally the definition of a person who would make FULL use of this tech, along with void and possibly esam.

You are the first I've seen incorporate IDJ into this so far here. I play Ridley. This tech gives Ridley a down throw, slingshot IDJ back air confirm. Definitely going to have to practice this tech more.

I love watching top players react to the tech. It’s like you can see the wheels turning in their heads on all the new things they can do.

The intro died 💀 But this seems like its gonna make stomp turn around knee easy now

That evil laugh of impending realization at the beginning was just perfect.

11:24 YEAH BABY this is what we've been waiting for

I wanna see griffin shine so badly, hope this’ll give him the edge

I honestly thought Gimr's tech was gonna be something super competative, but its so simple yet insanely effective. All I ever do is spam smash attacks and specials and even I managed to get it semi-consistent the third time I tried it

You and Marss are my most anticipated users of the slingshot tech, loved your brainstorming in this video!

The sound of slingshot on the gcc is so satisfying

I just want to think about how much this tech might shoot up mewtwo since he can worry about his tail hitbox being hit less

I’m scared of slingshot Sonic. This is gonna make his camping 10 times better.

You know you’re in trouble when fatality evil laughs when trying new tech

Imagine Sparg0 with Cloud after he masters this tech!

“This is such good production” Back to the lab again

The last little comment made was 100% on the mark. Movement options only make the game better for the players. If you can't do it and that's why you're complaining, then why are you taking the game seriously enough to compete but not actually put in the effort to get good? Excuses make for weak players. Fatality is nice af at this game with a character that's supposed to be mediocre. He puts in the time and effort.

that evil laugh at the start was terrifying

I've been playin around with this and I've found some really cool combo uses to bring people hanging out on the ledge back towards centerstage(for platform extensions) with reversed slingshot up airs, its really promising.

0:15 you know it’s gon be a good video if he lets out his Ganon laugh the first 30 seconds of the video 😈

JUSTICE WILL BLOOM WITH THIS NEW TECH FOR FALCON, *YES!*

Barely realized Gimr is doing the slingshot himself at the beginning of the video

I am so excited to see characters like Metaknight and Kirby start shredding because of this new tech

That’s amazing kinda reminds me of the tech from falcon in melee but I could be buggin

Big buff for Falcon? Sure. Except it also gives every other character on the roster even safer options that our Frame14 oos loses too, not to mention gets them out of range of footstool oos.

Everyone: "wow this new tech makes pretty much every character in the game better!" Little mac: "even me?" Everyone: "lol no."

how is everyone missing it being a new dashdance. biggest breakthrough ngl

I've never seen the word cute used in such a masculine way

I still find it crazy how I came across this tech mid last year and didn't think twice about it! Tbh I was just messin' around tryna learn Zelda's wave bounce down special*. I don't know about anyone else but the slingshot reminds me a lot of the C-stick Macros for Ultimate because of the distance you can travel. I swear I'm experiencing the Mandela effect now because this all seems too familiar but isn't! At least GrimR stated that this tech was likely known by a few people but never taken advantage of. *(Long story short, I decided to take a short cut by cutting down the amount of buttons I'd have to press to get her to jump behind phantom. I was practicing it the way My Smash Corner describes it in their video but it was too hard so I switched up my controls a bit and was able to get it more often than before. (I'm still not very good at it though.) Through all of that mess I would end up missing the timing for inputting down special during Zelda's Instant Reverse Down Air and wound up hitting a slingshot N-Air!)

Ready to see this used in actual combat for prize money lol will be so hype

And this Is to go *EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!^

imagine ness with psy magnet movement

the persona music in the background omg..

Gotta clip that diabolical laugh @00:18 lol

@0:18 Evil genius laugh

The only thing cooler than this is adding yes taunt input on falcon hard knees like in pm.

So slingshot just gives every character this like pseudo shoto property where you can retreat while still facing forward damn

“Oh that’s cute” No Fatality… you’re cute

What mod is he using?

And here I thought our turnaround would make this not as good for us😎

The intro with Captain Falcon and the sub button is a black screen to me. Please tell me this happens only when you are early

00:18 that ominous laugh

Looks like Fatality has to go back to the lab again again again

Nothing beats fatality’s black metal shirts

That face is awkward and lowkey scary @ 7:00

Seph doin the griddy

We were so optimistic with IDJ. Hopefully you can win a local now with his tech.

Fatality's laugh is inherently evil. No bueno.

I quit this game but it's nice seeing the new tech :). Great video btw

falcon nair with slingshot and idj reminds me a lot of melee falcon nairs

great choice with layer cake. 👍

When smash ULT was first announced with its silhouette trailer I thought it was going to be like a street fighter type fighting game, imagine if they had added a button to hold and lock your facing direction to allow you to move backwards without turning around. Looking more possible.

I don't really get this, was the final patch when this "new" slingshot tech was incorporated? The game's been out for awhile so is it just a mechanic that wasn't discovered for quite awhile or is it actually new?

Exactly how ive been using sling shot in a way to whiff punish and all

Maybe I’m just blind, but I can’t figure out how to get to the detailed training options he uses at 10:02. Is that a mod or something?

I keep doing instant bair every time!😤

I can’t wait for the new tier list😂

Can someone please tell me the difference between the sling shot and just facing forward - dash back - turn around - jump - then hold back. When I tested both, they do the exact same thing, I've been doing this tech since the game came out. Has no one else been doing this?

is this training mode a mod? curious how I can get that too

Yea been waiting on your take

Not really related to the video itself... but how do I get that training mod?

It’s spreading

How did you bring up that menu to make the cpu shield and grab punish??

What training tool is he using?

Not gonna lie, once u seen the new tech I was waiting for you to get ya hands on him.. its a good day to be a Cap main..

ganon really just got buffed

Is Fatality using the original smash from switch?

What does he mean by bad turn around? You can avoid turn around by releasing the stick and then going the opposite direction. Or does he mean something else?

“I slungshot away”

Are those extra things in training a mod?

Don't know why but my mind gets messed up trying to think of where I'm going to be facing and how to implement rar into it

This reminds me of tap-strafing

What mod is he using 10:08

Andrik implemented that 6 months since game released

Whats the song at 8:00

Is slingshot combined with instant double jump possible? 😳😳

did falcon just rise a tier

God I have been spamming search for this since I saw the GimR video

New techs, buffs all characters, literally has characters like falcon get steroids

Is falcon a high tier now?

Do we want it nurfed or no?

what if... you just played melee?

11:23 falcon should not look that fluid

i love how he thinks he has the worst turn around in the game when us mewtwo mains over here are the definitions of worst turn around lol

I dont understand whats happening

How about telling us how to do it?

Using it in neutral is the same as rar. The real point of the tech is the buffer.

“Oo, that’s kinda cute” talking about a shield break Only smash players…

Is that practice mode a community made thing??? It looks like way more options than I'd expect Nintendo to put in.

Anyone: finds a nice tech to have more fun in smash Nintendo: :)

Nice

I know Fatality has talked about it a lot, but for some reason I’ve never heard the explanation: can someone tell me why Captain Falcon’s turn around is so bad? Is it just really slow?
