What to Do at the Beginning of a Match (And Stock) - Smash Ultimate 

jokes on you, im watching this on my phone

1:46 "The opponent is Yoshi, and he's probably gonna throw his child at you" Yoshi's Island suddenly got a lot darker than I remember...

3:40 "Not only do you have the rest of the stock to work with..." *Shows part of Luigi 0 to death* What Stock?

"sometimes going for the obvious is useful if your opponent expects some smart plays from you" Joke's on them, I never play smart

Tells me not to dash attack at the start of the game. Me an intellectual cpt falcon player: Down B

why did i trust you with that damn amazon link my god

Easy, panic then lose because you panicked

Yoshi sucks

So basically: Q: can i use that option? A: well no, but actually yes

I've been wanting someone to do a video like this for a long time, thanks!

Every video from bananaboy makes me feel, theyre made for me :)

Cpu's: Sees player is invincible Cpu's: _NIGERUNDAYO_

Great vid dude it was helpful and I like the mini edits

you always pull out some weird references but I was NOT expecting you to have one of my favorite kkb songs to pop up RANDOMLY WHAT

You’re really making it big man- proud of you 😁

This is amazing and very well spoken! I'm amazed

7:17 MY MAN. this is why i'm subbed

Love your videos! Super helpful thanks

I really liked your video on how to fight every character, but I wish you'd break that up into a play list with a video on each character, these kind of tips are invaluable. Really enjoy your stuff

Thank you so much for making a video on this one always wondered this

I also tried to grab with Ness for that sweet combo. I know it’s predictable, but it feels so good!!

This video: Avoid the invincible opponent at all cost Me: *Goes at the invincible opponent at mach 20 to dash attack it*

This channel is growing so fast that it’s almost at 100k subscribers

I love being a lucina main and getting tips from the gameplay

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

I'm a recent sub man. And I gata say great work for sure keep it up !! I for sure agree with the whole video. It's like thinking steps ahead. And if you've got a quick reaction time it helps.

6:05 "and then avoid that commitment" Oh I'm a master at avoiding commitment!

*opponents gets off halo platform* everyone: OH GOD WHAT DO I DO?? Mewtwo, Meta Knight and Palu: *laughs in teleport*

WAS THAT THE YU YU HAKUSHO THEME DURING THE MID TRANSITION YASSSSSS

Your videos are actually better then proguides

weighted blankets are really good frankly tho I'm also autistic which makes them even better for me

Thank you for you content It has been helping my in smash

You are so helpful with getting better at smash your goated

youre the man banana boy

i saw the raid shadow legends logo and I legit got scared

The smash RU-vidr

Bro your music taste is strange but kkb is fire I respect it

thanks banana boy 😀

Good video, but that Mario Kart Wii music put it on another level.

Ah yes... the dinosaur who throws his children. A man of true honor

100k subs, here we go!

When ur opponent is invincible just use the GimR

Thought you were gonna be sponsored by raid ngl lol

I will never forget a game I had in Smash 4. I was Captain Falcon against a Diddy Kong, and the first thing he does is b reverse pull a banana because *Diddy Kong*. But what he wasn't expecting was a full hop Falcon Punch, and I certainly didn't expect it to land. It was pure magic. (And then I lost 0-2)

6:25 I hear the Maple Treeway (Mario Kart Wii) soundtrack!

As a Ness main, I start almost all matches on a stage with a platform by sending a PK Thunder right below their platform before dropping myself. This surprises them (usually too fast for them to react) and keeps me out of range from most projectiles (I don't go to tourneys, so if I did I would definitely need to mix this up more but it's a good starting move for online play).

An up smash after dropping down from the halo platform can catch opponents off guard. It’s a common habit for people to jump over you after respawning, so an up smash can work. If your opponent stays at the corner after taking a stock a great callout could be dropping down, running towards them and reading their jump with an anti-air or aerial (some people like to double jump so keep that in mind). This works well for jump-happy opponents. If they like to roll, expect them to roll past you when pressuring them during the halo period and counter as necessary. You’d be surprised by the extra damage you’ll net by doing this.

Look that weighted blanket plug may not have been the REASON im getting one, but it sure reminded me TO get one.

OH YOU KNOW HOW IT IS WHEN YOU TRY-YYY, BUT NOTHINGS GOING RIGHT OH YOU KNOW HOW IT IS WHEN YOU SAY YOU'RE DOING FIIIIIIIIIINE 7:16

That is one good blanket

This entire video in one word mixups

Yo Banana Boy! You ever do tournaments in Las Vegas or just that one time for evo?

Banana Boy: Shows link Me: Clicks on link Also Me after clicking on link: aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Video Idea: When I go to tournaments, I go 0-2/1-2 , but I have all really close games. What are some tips in closing out stocks/games. A mindset, positioning, or win condition guide would be amazing.

This really helps.

Now the question is, did you see Leffen's video talking about your video? That'd be fun to hear your take on it

Rob down b off battlefield platforms at the start will hit you if you try to fall through straight away. The hit box is just below the platform. You should just wait a second for it to pass you by as ROB is also stuck on the platform during this time. Just shield if he shoots a laser as it doesn't do much shield damage and it'll be a few seconds before he can shoot another one.

I like the Mario Kart music

I think a video on how to get into your opponent's head emotionally would be nice and how to capitalize on it would be cool (in other words, how to tilt your opponent)

BananaLad, how do I play on tournament stages? I don't mean like gameplay, I mean how do I use those funky stages that tournaments play on? Do I just use the Omega/Battlefield variants? I've seen those platforms that move too and idk how to get those stages. I legitimately feel dumb and new

This is just "how to play neutral 101" but honestly that's great

Banana Boy "Put down your Phone" Me Watching on my Phone "You Won't let me Watch, you won't let me Leave,"

Hey can you show us how to change stages on each Relams or how to change Music with the stages in it. Because I trying to understand the stages and with the music sounds great for each stages I just got the Smash ultimate since Christmas I'm still a NOOB

I‘ve also been sleeping in a wonderful weighted blanket since Christmas. 😎

1:40 that up tilt tho

As a villager main on BF, you can dash attack and throw your pot and possibly hit your opponent when they are under platform

Throw his child 😂 but on seriousness bro I'm getting better watching your videos! Thanks a lot bro ✌️💯

Am I able to ask for tips? If so. How do I deal with mix-ups?

7:16 It's KKB let's go!

Oh wow, are you going back to weekly uploads?

So I'm a mewtwo main and when I start a match one of the things I do is drop down and charge my shadowball or I'll throw a couple but when ever I play Mario I have trouble with him he will also drop down and start throwing those fireballs which I either reflect or will shoot a shadow ball to kill the fire ball but then he will always rush me and either just and try to land a fair I think it's his aerial where he spins which I shield and then use nair which works sometimes but sometimes it's not fast enough and he will grab me and combo me and I can't stop it what should I do Edit watching this video answered my own question lol instead of dropping down with Mario when he does to shoot his fire balls Im gonna try to jump off the platform and hit him with a fair or jump off and tomahawk if he shields when I jump off

Video title: what to do at the start of the match. Ganon and captain falcon mains: ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES

Have you watched Leffen's critique of your How To Fight Everybody video? I think it's worth watch since you can improve on it. Leffen actually says what you can improve on, _unlike his twitch chat._

Im a zss main, and if i start on a platform, i run off and zair. If they drop through and i hit the zair, i dash grab, and forward through(cant spell). Then i flipkick. If they jump while offstage... they die. Easiest zero to death in the game. Doesnt work on heavys tho!

Could you help me figure out how to full hop less and short hop more?

Phantom footstool.... PHANTOM FOOTSTOOL

megaman can do the same trick that pacman has on stages like battlefield and can even get an upair instakill depending on who youre playing against

Is that a weekly upload I see?

Here is the amazing link so you guys dont have to type it in manually: amzn.to/2QHUWAA

Did you actually reference Kero Kero?? 😯

thank you

3:58 NEON GENESISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Hey leffen just watched your how to fight every character video

Can you make How to Close out Stocks?

Would you recommend the weighted blanked for people w/o sleep related issues?

I need help predicting. My dad plays Roy and whenever I get onstage, he always uses Dancing Blade. How do I punish this?

Never though I'd see a Yoshi main use eggrole for a mixup. Is that a thing?

Hey bananasboy i have a problem playing on battlefield and always lose in this type of stages with platform so what do i do

epic

The way I just mash Down-B or Down-Tilt

Why on earth do I only win matches while I listen to your videos on in the background?

Hero mains: do you want to explode?

I was against a gannon i was lucina....we both droped from the platforms when the announcer said go we both stood still until a minute go's by

snake and belmont mains: *mashing b intensifies*

Banana Bro Leffen watched your How to Beat Every Character video

There’s a guide to do at the beginning of a match, but what do you do after the end of a match?

4:01 thank you soooooooooooooooo much

Cool

Where was the 20 pound blanket amazon link

Why are we sleeping on the blanket instead of with or under? Is your boosterish soothing the blanket’s worries away? That’s incredibly kind of you. Your weighted blanket can’t even say thank you.
