LEGENDARY LARRY TWEET: ‘My greatest fear in life is getting bodied in tournament in front of my gf, then her leaving me and being with the guy who beat me. I'd actually quit playing if that happens.’

I tried summarizing each point Larry made into a sentence: 1. Being comfortable and in control of your character's movement 2. Knowing the absolute limitations/options of your recovery 3. Understanding when you're overextending in advantage state 4. Utilizing frame data and character stats 5. Learning match-up knowledge

Walking is sooo underrated. Zackray uses it really well, and he's a great micro spacer.

"Oh, I thought this move was safe, didn't realize it was actually MINUS 20," relatable, I also thought Falcon Punch was safe on shield 10:20

Me, a casual player playing with final smashes: *ah yes, I understand.*

Five ways to get better; 1.) Learn your character 2.) Learn your character 3.) Learn your character 4.) Learn your character 5.) Learn everyone else’s character Got it 👍

Me: Why do I feel like I'm not getting better at this game? Notification: Allow me to introduce myself

holy shit this is an insightful video, first minute in and i realize I don't walk at all. Only suggestion is to use the dividers/ sections thing on the progress bar to easily skip to the next tip or go back to previous one.

"How to implement your full hop" Me, who is unable to short hop: "ive mastered it already!"

The persona music though

That point about the recovery made me remember a funny story. I qas playing with a lucina/marth main. He was pretty damm good with the character, knew his combos and stuff. He was kinds teaching me. Then I mentioned how it feels like you can angle the up b, we tested it and you can. He didnt actively know that but he still did it instinctively lol.

Hey I watch a lot of Smash vids and tutorials and your channel is the first one that I really enjoyed and resonated with. Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge.

Characters that don't have an aerial that autocancels out of a short hop: Mr. Game and Watch (Doesn't really need one, but can gain enough height via Fire to autocancel Dair.) Mega Man (Despite this, he can gain enough height to autocancel his aerials via Rush.) Greninja (Doesn't really need one, but can autocancel every aerial except Dair out of a full hop.) King K. Rool (Only superheavy out of the seven, but can autocancel Fair and Dair out of a full hop.) Sephiroth (Doesn't really need one, but can autocancel Uair with an IDJ and Nair and Fair out of a full hop.) This was me testing every character, but I appreciate any corrections.

As someone who has played SSB since 64, but only got into the competitive aspect in 4 and started practicing toward the end 4’s lifespan AND who has anxiety so I double-guess every aspect of everything I do, this has been the best “How to Improve” video I’ve watched. I can’t exactly explain why, but something about the way you explained things provided a lot of knowledge whilst simultaneously calming my habitual overthinking. Thank you.

Wow, I actually learned something that's new to me in a tips video for Ultimate (It's been awhile since one of these kinds of videos actually helped me). Thanks alot for the last tip, Larry! I actually didn't know that matchup knowledge was *THAT* important in competitive play.

After my bad losing streak last night. I need this lol

Needed this, thank you

I love the last point about knowing matchups and by even trying out the character yourself. Olimar max combo: 1

It really helps to have a good ledge game. Great video Larry!

I love the guides! More guides please!

5 Simple Ways to Improve in Smash Ultimate - "learn frame data for every character" LOL

i am a simple man, i see my main on a thumbnail. i click

does Larry do private lessons? I'd love to glean some of his knowledge!

To be honest not everyone have the ability to memorize every single character frame data for their most used moves, something I do is react by visualizing the animation of the move and think what move of my character can be faster than their animation end. It can help but still, is important to know the frame data for oos options and most used moves to to hit shield.

walking is really good to set up sephiroth dair on stage

I appreciate the tip about why not to practice with just one person. The more people you play, the better.

Excellent video

Movement is vastly underrated. People don’t spend enough time literally trying stuff like dash to pivot dtilt, or dash to backflip rar, and getting them consistent, like 50 in a row. It hugely helps with so many things, everyone knows how to press buttons, but when you accidentally dash too far, or buffer a dash off a ledge or something silly all your combos don’t matter because you’re just a bumbling target.

I’ve never been the most competitive player, but I could pretty well beat anyone in my friend group back in Melee and Brawl with any character in the game, and I think what always gave me the advantage was knowing how all my opponents characters worked. Where as of Wii U and Ultimate, between the lack of time from adulting and the massive roster to get an understanding of’, I can barely hold my own anymore 🤣 match up knowledge was my best friend back in the day. I remember being so fluent with each fighter I could see a friend or pro do a crazy combo, then have it learned just by watching it and could perform it first try the next time I use that fighter, and even assess its effectiveness and apply it to other characters that could be used in that particular way base on frame data and other similarities. In Ultimate I’ve got a few bread and butter combos I can preform, and next to no Match Up knowledge 😅

As a link main I use my air dodge if am close to the ledge if not I bomb recover under the stage.

I was chilling in the thieves den while watching this … thought I was losing my mind for a second

Thanks I’m a Kirby main. I love playing Kirby but my gsp has dropped ever since I took a break. I went from 8 million to 6 million and it’s annoying grinding. I keep losing so I hope this helps. When I do win I start a small streak then die to captain falcon or Ike.

Wait. HOW do you make Mario go straight up?? Am I missing something?

I see you using No More What Ifs :)

5:20 I don’t use air dodge to recover because I always miss ledge and SD

Hello, completely unrelated to the video but how do people get sluggish shields? (For spirits)

It's funny, Colinies' video is exactly one second shorter with a similiar title. v:

Mkleo: "Understandable have a nice day."

You should talk about fast falling combos Any time I see a combo I could never replicate, or someone says “just fair fair upair” it’s actually fair fastfall fair fastfall upair and I never hear anyone mention it

At 1:06 could you explain what exactly is auto canceling? I've heard the term before but I don't know what it is

I hear Larry always say 'minus *number* on shield'. But what does that mean? Is a low number good or a high number?

I’ve been playing simce brawl. Playing in tourneys since 2015. I never knew mario could angle his up b.

Can someone tell me when does Wolf's back air auto cancels?

I am at half and got 6 ads.

He got the Afro back

You make me want to main wolf

Commenting before watching here. But I already started winning more by switching to Falco this week. I wish I were kidding.

Nice

I find i learn most about my opponents characters by playing their character. :)

Does Anybody know how to do the Mario up-B thing

No one gonna talk about the 217 Falco combo?

1:55 The Falco agenda is very strong rn

Question for anyone willing to answer. I dont have many friends to play offline with and online just has been tilting me cause none of my buddies play online. Does practice against CPUs have any benefit at all?

0:14 sounds like hes calling mkleo worse than the worst player ;0

Dude your hair grows fast.

Great video! Easy to understand and informative but you could have simplified it a bit by just saying don't get hit

Song at the beginning?

11:13 Character Knowledge, yes I defiantly knew that Steve is from Super Mario 100%

How do you auto cancel?

You left out spamming that’s really important to securing the W.

mii brawler falcon punch B)

does anyone know a good “frame data for dummies” vid thats pretty informative? all i really understand about frame data is when a move comes out.

How do you auto cancel moves tho? You didn’t say how

How did you get a 217 combo?

also what is the song?

Where's the braids

wow the first actual content in forever

How was Larry makeing mario jump higher when doing Mario's up B

Anyone else notice the 217 combo

Omg, did he just say he had an opinion?!?!?!11!??1!

What I’d like for whatever comes next in Smash, is make Smash meter Final Smashes viable for non-item play. So many of these moves are so sick, but the balance on them is SO TERRIBLE. Some are literal instakills, then you get shit like Sonic where it’s basically useless. Hell, I’d settle for a “Balanced Smash Meter” setting so that all the final smashes are on a level playing field. Even if it never makes it to true comp, I’d like to be able to enable Smash meter without the fear of a Snake or Zelda cheesing me with bullshit Final Smashes that have almost no counter play

Talk about Mac?

I need help with auto cancel :(

hi

hey larry what is your nintendo switch code?

38th

Bro, why do people use the term autocancel like everybody knows what that means? Explain the term

I like to think players are lazy

1. Dont play Elite Smash

I feel like this is way too general to have any real utility

No

It is laughable that walking is the only microspacing option in this game.

as the worst player on the planet, i approve this message

Not first

I thought this was 5 ways to improve smash, and I was so hyped cause there are so many problems with this game to the point where I don't even wanna play this game anymore. I'm sorry, I'm sure Sakurai is a really cool guy IRL and is really nice and stuff, but man, he has to be the worst game developer on the planet. There are issues that this game has had since day one of ultimate and they still haven't been fixed. I remember watching one of Zero's older videos and he said that during the ultimate invitational when he played with Mkleo, he and Mkleo told the developers like 5 things that are bad with this game and that they should fix and to this day they haven't been fixed. All Sakurai does is add new characters in the game and every patch has really bad. There have been some major nerfs to characters such as joker, Pichu, and Wario, and while they are all still viable characters, they just aren't fun to play as anymore. All of his other patches have just been, oh ur Nair does 1% more damage, or you're f-smash launches your opponent 1-meter further. Like my 2-year-old cousin could make these patches. Yea it's nice to see more characters but there's no point in putting new characters if nobody is going to play your game in the first place. I'm sorry for going on a little rant there. There are just so many problems with ultimate and I don't feel as though Sakurai is doing his best. Ik covid has made updating the game more difficult and stuff but even before covid, Sakurai hasn't done anything with the game. Is very evident that he puts all of his time into making DLC characters and focusing on the actual game.

5 ways to improve at smash ultimate: 1.) Pick up a real fighting game with rollback netcode 2 - 5.) Repeat step 1 until solid neutch is achieved Buy GG: Strive on release. Has rollback and Sol is FUUUUUUUN!
