A Beginner's Guide to Smash Bros Ultimate

SMASH BROS ULTIMATE IS HERE! With it, comes a huge influx of brand new players that have never played a Smash game seriously. I went over nearly everything you need to know in order to understand what we smash players are saying in our content.

You forgot the mechanic where the harder you press the button the stronger the attacks are

[londonsheraton]

If this is considered “beginner”, I’m apparently intellectually challenged... 😑

[con-sduy]

I think a good idea for a video would be something like “How to avoid building bad habits”. I know it’s super hard to change something you’ve been doing a long time so I’d rather avoid making habits I will have to fix later.

[FioreFire]

before getting into teching and RAR and DI, the real first-timers gotta know about stuff like, how does one do a smash attack? what is an "up bee", is it anything like updog? how does one return to the stage after falling off? what, is the DEAL, with "shielding, grabbing, and dodging"?
lest we now-pros forget our humble roots of not being able to do any of these things

esams " a beginners guide to complexity"

[lysanderxx]

This video is an interesting concept. Perhaps a better title would be "Beginner's Guide to Competitive Smash Bros"? It's sort of like talking to someone new to Street Fighter and telling them about the different kinds of cancels and counters. I expected this video to teach someone fighting basics, such as guarding, perfect guarding, how damage affects launch distance, or how to choose who to play. This video is all about the terminology which wouldn't matter much to probably most bew players of this game.

Great video, though! I never really understood what "neutral game" referred to before.

We need an intermediate and/or advanced version of this video

Thanks for this video. I´m a beginner in smash (cause only have nindendo handhelds and didn´t play smash on 3ds) but was curious about the game and followed it. So playing smash today for the first time was nice and overwhelming together (maybe someone remember her/his start with the game). So these informations a very good for me to come faster into the game. I get more and more the feeling that this game is far more complex than it looks from only watching few combat videos. But i like this

[ppppppppp-fznh]

Bought this game today, kinda sad there isnt a tutorial. Played campaign for 4 hours and I have no idea what im doing at all. Im still discovering new attacks/moves. Its really overwhelming

EDIT: after about 8 hours in solo mode I can finally feel like I kinda know what im doing and not just spamming all buttons lmao

[dende_ult]

I want to make it big in Ultimate, what a dream....

[sprocket]

it would be cool if you made a follow up to this video with more advanced techniques, or maybe even make this a series!

[rizendor]

This game is so amazing. Worth the wait for sure!

[paulboulet]

Did you know that Pikachu libre is a girl?

[Ferrichrome]

While this is a super helpful guide, a true "beginners" guide to Ultimate would cover the very basics like movement and how shields and rolls work. Still a great vid tho!

[theblazingtorchic]

Salt is me. I pre-ordered and was meant to get Ultimate early today. I didn't, and it looks like it isn't coming anytime soon. To make it worse, the delivery company delivering it went to my neighbor's place.

[emeraldo]

Finally bought this after not having a console for 4....But JEEBUS do I suck right now. Gonna have to grind through all your tutorials that I'm sure you'll make!

[Theiceman]

Thanks for the guide esam for the guide, it was very helpful.





To helpful actually. Prepare to get rekt mate.

[billcook]

Thanks for the video, but it's not really a beginners guide. It's more of how to get good for somewhat experienced players. Would love to see a true beginners guide.

[EtheRenard]

I feel like DI is much more important in Ultimate!
In training mode, I was using Link at 80% and put a Motion Sensor Bomb, then DI up, down, and diagonal-down (in direction of the stage), and damn, those grids help a lot!

[seanlynch]

Great video, one small recommendation, when you talked about the combo I would suggest you put the combo that you are talking about in the video. It just makes it easier to see how they string together, especially for new players
