I love how immediately after the pirate ship example all the in-game examples are on the pirate ship stage

That analogy to the pirate on the ship was too relatable it happens all the time

Stage control: *exists* Wii Fit Trainer: lol wtf is that

I get inexplicably excited whenever banana boy uploads :)

"Running is usually pretty safe" Unless you're falcon

Note on the Bill Nye comment: The joke was purely a jab at the hilariously bad episode of Bill Nye Saves the World. In it, he refers to sex being on a spectrum, which, from my understanding, most can agree that there are only 2 biological sexes. In no way did I intend to jab at those with Gender Dysphoria or confusion related to their gender identity. I (selfishly) used the two different words interchangably to avoid having to say "sex" in a video, since my channel has always been family-friendly. I have many friends in the LGBTQ+ community and hope you all can understand that I meant no harm from the joke. tl:dr - Trans rights

That pirate analogy was the best explanation of stage control I've every seen/heard.

It's over Anakin. I have the high ground.

God I love all of the random Evangelion garbage in this

These videos have helped so much, I finally hit double digits GSP from these!

BananaBoy said: "Nihong wa sugoku tanoshi-kata" "Japan was very fun!!" I'm a certified weeb.

Nice animations! Thank you, missed you Banana Boy. *It's only nautral*

I’ve watched a LOT of videos like this in my time getting back into smash. Yours are the most helpful. Good work and thank you!

Most of this stuff I already know, but for some reason I'm always compelled/excited to watch it! Keep up the great content!

6:48 “he’s going to jump on to the stage!”

seeing neutral, advantage and disadvantage as different areas of the stage/offstage really gave me a clearer perspective! simple and to the point as always, great video!

I’ve been waiting all day for this video and I loved it. Also I liked the persona 4 clip thank you.

I've got my first tourney tomorrow and I'm so excited! (Also very nervous.) I just wanted to say that I probably wouldn't have ever entered this tournament or even have gotten into competitive smash if it wasn't for you! Thanks man! Keep doing what you're doing!

You always upload the video I need to improve. Like I'll sit there and be like I need to improve in (blank) and then you upload a video covering that exact thing, thank you

One of my best players in Canada, faced you in evo His name is BreaD

Your content its great, so useful! also, the way you complement your arguments with game-examples and anime/paint images make them really enjoyable! thanks!

oh hey a useful video for falcon mains... you've made my day BananaBoySSB

Was just re-watching your videos earlier today, thanks for another great video! (:

your smash terminology guide was in ZeRo's "up next"

2:18 Everyone: uhhhhhhh Plant mains: 🅱️ (ptooie)

Yes. I do love your upload schedule

You should have more subscribers, your content is amazing. Loved the video.

Im glad you acknowledged the broad nature of your advicw on stage control. Different characters actually have better stage control on the edges of the stage, provided they can get good hits in and properly bait their opponent.

Banana you really help out a lot mate. Good day to you.

Love the videos bud keep up the good work👍🏻💚

Great video dude!

You reminded me that i had popcorn So i cooked it lmao

I just checked your channel yesterday and afterwards you uploaded

I’m trying to sleep, but banana boi HAD to upload. Now I gotta support him or whatever lmao

Ok Bboy dude I gotta thank ya, I went to tourney for the second time today, thanks to your tutorials I learnt how to gain stage control and went from 200% at ledge to beating my opponent who was only at 13 when I was cornered, your vids help so thanks dude!

Thanks for your great tips and awesome videos!

This video will seriously come in handy in the future. Keeping stage control is super difficult.

I needed just this. Thx man

Oh baby you're back

Hey man thank you for the tips they have helped me in my schools group in which we have small tourneys I actually won last week because of your vids thank you

“Japan was really fun!!” You’re welcome.

His voice sounds so devoid of emotion and yet so full of it at the same time.

great vid!

Thank you this was very helpful!

You honestly really opened my eyes to some stuff this video. I'll keep it in mind from now on. In local smash tournaments that I've joined, I've never really taken advantage of stage control. I've of course juggled and stuff if they were above, because free damage is gr8. But I've never tried reading their moves and reactions. Maybe I can finally win more than 2 sets with some practice. My final goal is top 4, which is unlikely, but it's a goal lol. Out of 25, it shouldn't be impossible

6:48 “HE’S GOING TO JUMP!!!”

Great video

"Some characters have quick option out of shield" Shows Zelda's Neutral b

Yo. That pirate illustration opened my eyes to a whole new world.

thank you banana man

Come on! Falling bowser up air? That killed me

I can only thank you, for this video

Thanks for the Nostalgic mario wii music :D

that chris hansen at the beginning was smooooth

Thank you for the pleTHOra of information sir. Very helpful!

A new video! I can learn how to be good at smash!

Lets go Banana Boy!

That pirate bit was so good

I was gonna go to sleep because it was 11pm but I saw that notification and thought sleep can wait

Lets go banana boy!!!

thank you bantman boy

This helped my main (kirby) alot

When it comes to how to control the stage, I always think there is a bubble and being like spongebob you like bubbles and never want to pop it, and try to get the opponent as far away from the bubble, and your having something to protect. Weird analogy but It definitely works for me.

*nice* job on hitting 69k subs

Snake is op as hell He can control the entire stage and the area around it

WE STAN A KZfaq KING

6:28 *Palutena eyes* BananaBoySSB: "Broken"

К, so english is not my mother tongue, but just seeng your videos once makes me (feel) smart (in smash). Thx m8.

Could you make a video explaining which characters favor aggressive or passive play?

Congratulations on 69k subs

Thank you so much Bannana Boy for these videos. They are so helpful and I was able to take a game off of Valor last Saturday. Warning:( these videos can help you improve. players hate him.)

helpful af thankssssss

I was legit just thinking i need a BBOY vid lmao

Learning time :D

'You want to be the pirate on the ship' - uses Hero's pirate looking alt on Pirate Ship

Oh, look, he is alive :D

I love how banana boy slammed zero for an in-depth 20 minute video

0:52 reminds me of what my parents tried to do to me after they caught me watching anime

Could you possibly do a video on edge guarding in the future

Playing Ike, but I'm dumb using my nair safe. Any advice in movement? (Only in movement, because mix up exists)

glad you had fun in japan but my video.

This is helpful

congrats on 69k

I’ve been wondering for a while now how you record footage in training mode. Do you dual wield controllers or have a friend help you with it

Oh man. That Bill Nye joke absolutely floored me. Keep up the good work!

this probably will be an unpopular opinion but i like to work passivley in the corner for some reason that i can't even figure out then again i play ike taking up half the stage with good post - 2-frame options dk with good throws and spikes bowser that can hardly be launched anyway shulk with the jump monado for a almost guarenteed recovery and wolf with great aerials and 2-frames so yeah im trying to work on this specifically along with not getting too nervous and adapting

How do I deal with invincibility when my opponent is re-spawning because I lose all stage control when I take a stock, then leading into getting punished and then downhill from there

Me, an Isabelle main who never sees Isabelle in these types of vids: 2:18 LOOK GARY THERE I AM

That moment when the little Mac main gets dominating stage control

you're very helpful

sick

Time to be good at smash

Can you make a video about fighting small characters? I can never seem to get combos when playing against them with mario.

Chadyu learns stage control to succeed at gaining the truth.

69k subs, Nice

This is pretty helpful as my stage control is terrible and my spacing is non-existent.

Oh, you’re that guy who sometimes goes to locals in Provo

For the first time ever I'm not late

Can you do a video or video series on how to play neutral

i HATE it when im on a pirate ship and im caught watching anime and then get mauled by sharks :(((( ALSO GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS !!
