Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t do it wrong.

So many people underestimate how important this kind of training is! Great video!

as someone who teaches guitar i'd recommend training each exercise for 5 minutes, that's how long our attention span is, if you do this daily you'll get it in muscle memory very quickly

News from professional teacher Izaw: Watching anime while watching smash is PROVEN to increase your preformence

Wow this channel is actually unbelievable. Never before have I seen someone put so much effort into helping players understand the game and how to get better (only Beefy Smash Doods rivals this). This channel needs a million subs asap.

With all these exercises, you don't just progress, but you get more patient and that's one of the most important thing to achieve in Smash

OMG i have been waiting for this video for like..........FOREVER😱

Izaw, you hands down have the best videos for getting better at Smash Ultimate. Seriously, you are a masterful teacher, thank you so much. You have definitely helped me and many others become and continue to become better players

This is exactly what I needed. I've recently learned OF a bunch of techniques for Smash, but nothing on how you would practice them, and I couldn't get good results on my own. I'll probably be coming back to this video quite a lot in future as I learn how to pull this stuff off.

This series has been so direct, so clear, so demonstrative, and so educational. A lot of people make guides that are good enough. These guides are great. Thanks for all you do!

Just some quick clarification at 3:09. When he says “Tap back before you jump,” he means that you tap back before your character leaves the ground after pressing the jump button. Edit: With the 2.0.0 update you can now press two jump buttons at the same time to short hop! Edit 2: Backflip is a misleading term. All characters can perform what IzAw describes as a backflip. It just looks different for every character. Mario actually does a backflip while Link sort of just winces in the opposite direction. The important thing is that your character immediately starts to drift backwards after performing the input.

Now this is what I needed

I thought I was good at the game, but then I couldn't do the first exercise. I've been at it for the past hour and I've got the first 4 down. This is some really great content.

20 minutes on the first exercise alone is doing wonders for my gameplay. Great vid man.

it's almost unbelievable the amount of care that's gone into this series. Everything is great, but I REAALLY appreciate you letting the short hop exercises go their full duration. I think everybody can use that entire section on repeat as a dance partner to tighten their training. If I can suggest something, Izaw... Could do exactly that? record your 15min training session with no cuts and perhaps a simple timer countdown edited in to begin each exercise? A literal workout video with your most moderate character. You could be cute and do it on omega wii fit stage. Am I off base here? You think this will help?

The training mode of this game is neat

6:26 that music sync

This might be the best quality content I have ever seen for competitive smash training. The only channels that can come close are "My Smash Corner" and "Beefy Smash Doods", but I still think this takes the cake. Seriously, great work Izaw!

DUUUUUUUUUUDE these are AMAZING videos. Thank you so so so much! I haven't found another series that teaches the basics better than you. I appreciate it!

This is incredible. Will you do Art Of Characters in Ultimate?

Small tip for "Excercise 8": If you're having a hard time ONLY turning around without running in a direction. If you tap the walking stick diagonally up, it won't input as a dash. Great video, Helpes alot. Thank you master IzaW

B-b-but I play Litte-Mac

Any thumbnail with Zelda is automatically the best thumbnail

Honestly Izaw i can't say it enough you're one big reason why players improve to a point where you are, what I believe, a sensai for smash creating future smash masters! Good job bro!

This is incredible! I've started going through these one at a time. I inserted my own very challenging alternative to 3:15. Back flipping back and forth. It's possible to instantly turn around and backflip, but it requires something like a Street Fighter quarter circle motion upward upon landing. I was able to short hop fast fall backflip then immediately turn around and do it again in reverse. This video is encouraging me to practice fine tuning my movement so much!

Damn izaw. No wonder everyone online is become pro af.

Now THIS is it, chief.

Dude , no bull ive learned more from this series than my entire time playing smash. You're a great teacher

I took 30 minutes to seriously train on some of these exercises, and I already feel more accurate when moving my character. Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for !

This is just what I needed! I've been reading and watching Smash tech but when it comes to games I rarely manage to pull them off and even hinder my gameplay. I'm definitely grinding these practice exercises every time I have the chance. Glad to be subscribed and looking forward to more of your content. Keep it up Izaw!

I haven't even bought the game yet how did i end up here??

Thank you Thank you Thank you THANK YOU IZAW! You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for everything that you do for our community!

Excellent video! I also recommend to practice wall tech jump followed by buffered aerials which can be very useful to gimp some characters like Ganondorf by intentionally letting his Up b hit you offstage

okay but this is amazing??? like how do you have the time to even make these guides. they're everything i could ever need and more. i honestly wish i had the cash to support you on patreon. keep up the awesome work; you're a huge help to the smash community

This is 100% the most usefull tutorial i have seen for smash! Thank you SO much!

I really wish this game showed the hitboxes of moves as well as the trajectory.

This is by far one of the BEST how to train vids out on youtube... Honestly! You go in to such great depth on the subject! I haven't had the privilege of playing Smash Ultimate yet so I'm currently stuck with Smash WiiU, however I have started to incorporate what I learnt here (only what I could...) into my training... And It's really helped! Thanks Izaw... Your a legend.

This really is gold. Thank you for taking the time to do all this. Getting back into Smash after a long hiatus and I've never been more motivated to spend time to actually master the button inputs.

Okay finally a guide with precise exercises Very good video ! And now back to training

This video has really inspired me to practice more often. I haven’t put in the effort in training much in the year and half I became a smasher. It’s been hard improving. I’ve switched mains to the point where I’ve mained every fighter except piranha plant 😅. With this very helpful video, ive gained the motivation to practice.Thank you so much.

9:25 I always hear about using a shoulder button for jump, but using a claw grip (using the index finger to press y) is also an available alternative not everyone mentions. It’s not for everyone but i personally find it much more comfortable

I can’t begin to tell you how much your voice, teaching style, audio, visuals, and overall video-making effort put a smile on my face. I love watching these. They are by far the most helpful and great-to-watch Smash tutorials on KZfaq, and I find it as no question at all that you are the absolute best Smash teacher!

This man knows how to teach and knows how to train. Very well made. Great insights

This is EXACTLY what I need

You have no idea how much I recommend you to players on stream. Love your tutorials man. I owe everything I've learned to your series, ever since your Smash 4 iterations. Keep it up man!

Been watching your videos for years and playing smash for 18 years and learned some decent things. Only just started fully applying myself during this lockdown and it feels great to feel results. Thanks for taking the time and effort to explain these things you truly are a master at this.

Your combos are sick

This video might be the best video of your channel

I started using this last night for a few hours. I feel the improvement already. It really is similar to an instrument! This is the most useful Smash video I have ever encountered. I cannot thank this man enough 🙏

Once I finally started feeling comfortable with basic movement / short hopping consistently I came up with this devious exercise: Go to the Training stage, and pay attention to where on the grid you are standing. now short hop exactly 1 "square" on the grid (10 mini squares), and then back to the starting position. the second time, do two squares, then proceed until you've reached the max horizontal short-hop distance of your character. I main Lucina, so her max is 5.

I think this is amazing video. I can already feel the carpal tunnel.

Wasn't expecting this at all, it's like a surprise Christmas

I became an Ike main because of your Art of Ike video back in smash 4, as much as i loved that video and playing the character, I love these videos you posting lately so much. Learning so many really basic but fundamental skills from them. Keep it up!

Never found smash tutorials this clear and in depth before, awesome stuff man!

I watched this about a month ago, and realized that I couldn’t do some of these, but then training like this really helped. Thank you

thank you, this taught me how to short hop consistently

Subscribed after this video. Amazing work! Can’t wait for more to come

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. No one has ever explained this as well as you have!

I’ve had 2 years of smash 4 online experience, I did practice combos but I never got these small steps down, thanks for the video

0:45 I fear no man, but that... *thing...* *it scares me.*

Been playing since Smash 4, now starting to get serious about the game and trying to get better at it. Your videos have been invaluable in that regard, they've helped me so much. I didn't even know wtf buffering meant before watching them. And while I can't say I'm ready to take on ZeRo just yet, I've definitely improved a whole lot. You're a life-saver.

This is EXACTLY what I needed. Clear instructions and explanations that are straight to the point. Thank you Izaw

thank you so much for this. this is the stuff they DONT tell or teach you

More tutorials sweet I will give these excersise a shot gives me alot to do thanks my dude

Now THIS kind of stuff is why I subscribed. You seriously make some of the best content out there for beginners, and what you do for the community is phenomenal. Keep up the good work man, you deserve more!

Been playing smash for years but never tried to get good other than to have fun with friends and family, these videos have been an immense help! Just learning the fundamentals even if you cant do everything in this video is great starting point

Sensei.. I will start my training immediately

In music class imma pull out my switch controller. 1:03 (for those of you who didn't watch that part).

Dude I can't even express how much your videos have helped me learn, understand and grow as a smash player. I came back into smash near the early to mid-life of smash 4 with my only experience with the game being me playing brawl at my cousin's house for hours on end at the age of like 8 al the way to the age of like 11 at an extremely casual level. Because of that lack of experience and knowledge, I didn't anything about smash except the VERY bare minimum, like less than what the instruction guide at beginning of the game will teach you. After getting eviscerated online countless times and being told by a smash-tuber that I wasn't going to able to get better because the smash community was very hostile to new players trying to learn, I ended up dropping the game for a long time. I wasn't till a year or two before ultimate got announced that I randomly picked the game back up and unsurprisingly I was still hot ass. But then I found your channel a couple of months before ultimate's announcement and started watching your videos, and oh my lord, I can't tell you how much shit I learned for watching your guides that I never knew existed. I slowly found my self becoming better and better to the point where I could finally take a stock off a person online. Now I'm at a point where I can play at a pretty competitive level and defeat most casuals and lvl 9 cpus regularly and put up a fight against someone who's somewhat experienced at the game. I still got a long way to go but I just wanna thank you for helping get at this level with your magnificently made and edited videos. They helped a shit-ton and I hope it helps others as much as helped me.

Dude, thank you for this. Ive been playing smash a while, and ive been interested with competitive but didnt know how to start. This is perfect, youre doing great things.

thx so much for helping me in smash 4 and ultimate :D

God why are you the greatest man this side of heaven.

This is the best video to ever be released on Smash. Your training videos are the only one worth watching on KZfaq and that's not an exaggeration. Subscribed.

Such an amazing resource. This is always the first thing i send to friends who r just getting into smash

Lemme just share this with my discord real quick

The hard thing is that lucina’s backflip is really hard to discern other than the amount of momentum she gets, so I had a hard time on the back flipping section

Yo this really helps me. On redit you channel got recommended and these help me way more than anything else I watched. The training thing you said in the vid makes so much sense

You are the best. Thorough, well spoken, direct, and very helpful. Will be doing this training until I'm as crisp as your videos.

Thank you so much, Izaw. I’ll definitely practice this often. I have one question though. You see, I main both Ken and Ryu and they have this auto turn mechanic so they can’t face the other direction of their opponent unless they are running in said direction or rawring. So some of these exercises just don’t work. Do I: A. Put the number of training CPUs to 2 and practice the exercises? (Since any more than one opponent will cancel out the auto turn-mechanic) or B. Not do those exercises at all? Since they wouldn’t be beneficial cause of the auto turn mechanic when playing since there’s no way I’d be able to casually jump towards my opponent with my back facing them. The Rawr followed by a back air would still be possible but not if I’m doing it from an initial dash cause it just doesn’t work with the auto turn-mechanic. Thanks in advance.

Art of Mario Ultimate please? I would love to see that!

Dude Izaw, I need to thank you for this video, it help me a lot. I wasn't good enough to get to Elite Smash (I know, it doesn't really matter that much) but, with these exercises I got to Elite Smash in literally two days of practice. Thanks

Wish I found these vids months ago.. you actually explain all the button inputs and everything so well.. thank you!!!

OMG YOU KEEP READING MY MIND! HOW DO YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT I NEED? I LOVE YOU Edit: no homo

0:42 Izaw please, that's too much

This whole series was incredible ! Congrats !

Thanks alot for this been waiting for this! Much appreciated!

I was trying to do nairs on link consistently and was wondering if the pros have some kind of key binding for it... now i know what I gotta do lol

Izaw! Appreciate such a helpful series. I am trying to get my short hops down to a tee when I learned that pressing two jump buttons at the same time also causes a short hop: I was wondering if that is a valid method of learning how to short hop, or should I just continue practicing on a single button?

Finally a video that really shows the most important steps to improve, thank you so much Izaw for all the work you put into this!!

This guide is so comprehensive and perfect holy crap. gonna grind this whenever i get the chance

It's really hard to do the link bomb combo in 0:42 . I tried for 15 minutes . I'm not giving up

wow

YESSS I'M SO HYPED THANK YOU

Thank you for the time and effort!! Content creators have to agree! Awesome series I watched from beginner all the way through!

Subbing to you was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Ike's Nair is so in almost perfect sync with the music at 6:29

I watched your how to videos yesterday on the art of smash, so happy this just came out haha :D
