VERY solid video! Everything was very informative and digestible. Here's a few more things that could be considered while playing in disadvantage.

A-land/Tech Option Select: A-landing is the act of pressing an aerial with a large autocancel window once in tumble so that you you don't have to tech (Diddy Dair, Ness Dair, Greninja Fair). There's an option select that you can do by inputting your autocancel aerial and the shield button at the same time. If you're forced to tech, you'll do so. If the tech isn't forced, you'll safely A-land into shield.

Missed Tech Ledge Slip: Characters like Fox will often look for tech chases to convert for kills. In the corner especially, 3/4 options put the opponent at the ledge. Not teching in this scenario and drifting off stage will cause you to slip off of ledge and avoid the tech chase entirely. This also works on platforms!

Phantom Footstools: While Gimr did make a video on this, it's been a little bit of a forgotten technique. Certain characters lack or don't have the biggest disjoint on their Up Airs. Mashing jump outside of tumble can give you a phantom footstool, which automatically has 4 frames of invincibility. Against characters like Bowser, abusing this will keep you from ever being Up Aired again!

Up B Option Select: Some moves can feel awkward off stage, and you don't know whether or not they'll send into tumble at a given percent. Inputting both shield and your Up B at the same time will give you the tech if needed, while inputting an Up B if you don't enter tumble.

The DK Bill "Cheat Code": A lot of players panic and input an Up B immediately after they tech a stage spike. This will often leave them in an awkward position where their Up B doesn't snap the ledge, or they'll be frame trapped by something such as Sonic's Spin Dash > Bair. Directional air dodging after the tech can put you onto stage and completely reversal the situation for a ledge trap.

Ledge Jump Delayed Waveland: A lot of characters' ledge traps can feel like a 50/50 between punishing grounded getup options on reaction and covering ledge jumps. Ledge jumping and delaying an air dodge down by about 10 frames can serve as a mid ground between both coverage options. You'll mix up the timing requirement to punish grounded getups while avoiding aerials with the intent to preemptively cover ledge jumps.

Again, very nice video! Looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.

u forgot the secret 7th tip: play pikachu

the BroKen Shade at the start made me laugh i wont lie

Bro the Broken stray😂

That's my favorite Sun Tzu quote, also love the custom background.

This is the first time I've heard that invincibility time on ledge depends on how much time you were offstage.
That explains a lot.

An amazing video tackling some difficult concepts done in a concise and entertaining manor. Will be using this as a reference for myself and others. 10/10

Love the BroKen slander

Best piece of advice? Your opponent can't know your next move if you don't know it either.

I have been playing ultimate since launch and I did not know that you got more ledge invincibility depending on how long you are off stage.  That's wild.  I'd like to know more about the code on this.

Commenting to boost your channel in the youtube algorithm. Good video eli

Low key this made my Bayo’s disadvantage sooo much better. Especially the part about mixing up options at the ledge for no reason. I always did that without realizing it but more importantly, I noticed Lima (best Bayo player in North America, whether he’s the best in the world is still up for debate lol) makes excellent use of his recovery tools off stage and I’m working on slowly incorporating that approach myself as well.

Thanks for posting this. I appreciate it a ton :)

Wait is that Clash of Ninja 2 BGM ? 👂 👂 👂 Love the music choices

been playing smash since brawl, and this video gave me tips i didnt even think about. absolutely phenomenal 🔥🔥

awesome video :)) The bonus tip is actually so true, and the jumping back from ledge is so big brain i need to lab that out 👀

That last piece is really valuable tbh. Incin / Snake main here, and with recoveries that are honestly pretty predictable for both characters the mix up consistently is so important to our recovery game plan.

that kill guy bit was great earned urself a like there

#generational smash video keep up the great work eli!

Bro not Shadic taunting Paul with shield lmaooooo, great video Elijah🔥🔥🔥

Thank you, this video was very insightful! Despite playing ZSS, my disadvantage is atrocious. These tips helped a lot
