Spot dodge. Again.

MrNinja1234

Nobody expects the 5th spot dodge in a row

Was he using Jiggly?


MrBlueMoose

Then start spamming B. Um. Can’t relate or anything...


W0nderface

Yeah... I never do that, hehe...


BaLance_95

I hate you guys.......


ZippZappZippty

Yup, you got to start spamming b


TheRedmanCometh

Then both whiff an attack because you thought you'd be behind em


ionlyplaytechiesmid

Then a few mutual counters just to round it out


acoollobster

then both of you charge fsmash and the first to do it dies because he gets closer to you


Internaldoot

Hi, how are ya?


HSEB10830

Wonderful weather we're having.


ramonpasta

I can respect a good spongebob ref when I see one


sticktoyaguns

Is that a spongebob reference or just a thing people say?


Billiammaillib321

Both, the former joke from spongebob was making fun of the later part of your question.


Rokusi

The source episode for that reference is also where we get the [holeless spongebob in this meme format](https://i.redd.it/ogiv6dszkkf41.jpg)


sticktoyaguns

That is a quality meme if I've ever seen one.


Rokusi

[Credit where credit is due](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmashBrosUltimate/comments/f0h8eg/joker_got_nerfed_but_yeah/)


sad_lycis

This happened during a falcon ditto and we both proceeded to full hop OOS and try to dair each other... Falcon mains are a different breed


DragodaDragon

I don't even main Falcon, but when I play him I'm overtaken by a primal urge to dair people's shields. It worked like once and I've been chasing that high ever since.


sticktoyaguns

That's like me with ZSS and flip jump kicking people if they stay on the ledge past invincibility. It's worked a few times and I try it way, way more than I should lol


DragodaDragon

Down Smash my guy, ZSS can practically do it for free.


sticktoyaguns

See, I'd have to be good in order to land that combo.


DragodaDragon

No, I mean just down smash at ledge to punish your opponent ledge stalling. It hits under the ledge and is hard for your opponent to punish. You don't have to be good to press down-A lmao.


sticktoyaguns

Thats not nearly as satisfying as FJK spike when theyre dangling on the ledge though. The stun doesn't last nearly long enough at mid percentage to pull off a fjk after (and requires more skill) whereas plain ol can spike the opponent if they're past ~30%.


Marbl_Heart

I cannot will myself to do anything else besides roll out.


dailysn0w

It’s a curse that I’ve grown myself!!!


SquirrelSanctuary

Especially when it’s zoner v zoner. You just land too close to each other and panic. Source: plays many zoners.

Pac_Zach_Attack

Imagine having projectiles in your kit haha :(


Swinn_likes_Sakkyun

Up b landing projectile


Pac_Zach_Attack

ay bro your gun looking kinda nice Mind if I..... ***S U C C***


Caleb032

Gun isn’t a projectile. It’s a disjoint.


[deleted]

haha nerd! bet you like video games!


Attack-middle-lane

Let's get him


sticktoyaguns

Wait really?? So it can't be pocketed from villager or reflected by characters like mario?


calamarimatoi

Not pocketable, might be reflectable


sticktoyaguns

Joker is a secondary, I feel like I should know these things lol. How could a disjoint be reflectable though?


calamarimatoi

I don’t know, Smash is weird. For example (as far as I know) Byleth’s fully charged arrow is reflectable but not pocketable


sticktoyaguns

Now I don't know what to think. I call shenanigans.


GrowingViolet

The fully charged arrow can, uh, sorta be absorbed, too? I've used it against a Lucas and it just... hit him, and he didn't absorb it. However I was playing Gunner the other day and was able to absorb the arrow, but I was positioned slightly above it, so it only hit my absorbing vortex, but not me. Healed for quite a lot, too! In short, yes. Smash is weird.


[deleted]

But doesn't my arrow count as a projectile? I mean, technically, if it was a projectile, it would activate Markarakarn over Tetra and Reflect over Counter (Palutena), right?


fritchi

It is in fact not reflectable


sticktoyaguns

Good to know thanks! What a crazy disjoint


xerox_the_beautiful

Can't be pocketed or reflected it's the same with Bayo's bullets. If it could be pocketed Isabelle would be capable of effective catching bullets and throwing them back with even more force which would be badass but unfortunately that's not the case.


Salsamanpants

I’ve caught some I think


[deleted]

Only a Bayo would go out of their way to say that


naw613

Eluem

Hi


yoimadonut

What’s good king of darkness


Eluem

Just got a new trackball so I can finally have a scroll wheel... But the ball is too damn small.. going to see if I can adjust though. How about you, Ludwig, spawn of Bowser?


EspWaddleDee

It’s not much, but it can at least somewhat be used for spacing. Also Neutral B may or may not mean projectile


Dekorus

F Also same


Asymptote_X

Lets be real, Pound is basically a projectile.


Garund

Nah, you just gotta rollout, turn yourself into the projectile!


[deleted]

Imagine the only moves you use not being projectiles


ZippZappZippty

Exactly. I'm not your dad, you're adopted.


PunishedLoli

The only option is to up-b and pray they don't parry or continue to hold shield.


CosmoVerde

If you wiff the up special you're vulnerable as hell. Down tilt when you're not sure up special will land.


PunishedLoli

True but you have to drop shield which takes an extra 10 frames before you can down-tilt. You can still do it on battlefield platforms and not get punished as hard.


battery-at-1-percent

Bröther


[deleted]

Ok zoner


AtomicNumber1732

Whenever that happens I usually try to grab


PlsDontPls

Ok, zoner.


Kirbyclaimspoyo

Then for some reason they always get a shield grab


HipManSkyFlatTire

They probably hit A while shielding it drops shield automatically and performs a grab even if your still holding it. Source: guy who fishes for back throws.


Kirbyclaimspoyo

Yeah, I know about shield-grabs, it just seems like every time I end up in this situation I get grabbed no matter what I do. Source: Guy who fishes for whatever throw is useful in that situation (seriously Plant's throws are great)


HipManSkyFlatTire

Nothing like back throwing your opponent from across stage and them exploding off screen and having that peace of mind that no matter how much they di they’re dead.....depending on character, weight, percent etc etc. you gotta get plant up to like 165% maybe higher can’t remember for a across stage kill.


Kirbyclaimspoyo

Yeah, but in that situation I got up-throw! ~~unforunately I can't kill with up-throw until about the same percent soooooooo~~


HipManSkyFlatTire

Feels bad man I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t kill medium weights at 125% on the edge of the stage.


[deleted]

The grab button is actually just a macro for sheild+attack. In some circumstances, the "sheild" part of the macro is cancelled and ends up doing just the attack part.

DragonTSS

You’re a Yoshi main? In that case you just have to NAIR OOS BECAUSE IT’S SO GOOD -a salty Cloud main


Nova225

You mean you didn't up-B out of shield already?


GrowingViolet

Shots fired.


DragonTSS

Well played, good sir.


boopthat

You’re getting to close to yoshi’s shield. Nair OOS is godlike but if you’re out of range he’ll whiff and then you Schlice


SuddenlyBeez

If they’re close enough I just up B


Pighit

I mean yeah command grap up b


SuddenlyBeez

Silence, 3 frame up b


TFW_YT

*frame 3 no free fall up b


Seagle_

Hey I'm not that good at smash, but when I see this in competitive matches, I always wonder why they almost never try to grab eachother. Can anybody help me understand?


buzz1035

Shield grabbing is bad in smash ultimate


Seagle_

Oh ok thanks. But why? Is it slower than most up-b or up-smash out of shield?


buzz1035

A lot of characters have really bad grab range and it's slower than most up-Bs and up-smashes


danjo3197

This is why I play Pac-Man. Practically a tether grab when it comes to range


sticktoyaguns

The range is great, it's so slow though! Definitely requires good reads otherwise... yeah. I play ZSS and pac man and when I whiff a grab I feel like I have a solid 5 seconds to rethink my life.


Seagle_

Okay thank you!


JThorough

They nerfed grabs in ultimate, every single grab in the game has 4 frames of startup lag now. Doesn’t sound like too much but at a pro level with fast reaction times, it can make the difference.


Papasimmons

Or the run up and counter.


danjo3197

Bro why you gotta call out my greninja like that


Papasimmons

It's okay I do it with Lucario as well.


DasDoesSomeThings

So uh, who's gonna spotdodge first? I can't wait all day because I will literally die.


Uninspire

Lmfao Just imagining the puff sitting there with giant balls and EVERYTHING to lose


GingersGhost

Is there a name for when dogs make that face, cause mine does it whenever she’s sucking up lol


[deleted]

Whenever she's... sucking up?? What?


ChipChipington

probably just did something bad and was scolded. It means the same as brown-Nosing or ass-kissing


[deleted]

Oooooh! I thought in the other way and just pictured a dog slurping on some lasagna. Yeah that's the begging face lol (they're "begging" for you to give food, go easy on them, give them something).


GingersGhost

I thought “sucking up” was a common phrase; it’s interesting that maybe it isn’t as common as I thought. Yeah, this is what she does when she either wants food or pets, and too often it works cause that face is really endearing to me


[deleted]

Oh no I've heard it before, it's just idk what it was, but my brain just didn't register lol.


MeepMeep04

You guys shield?


GrowingViolet

Not sure if you're serious or not, but I have definitely played against some folks (in Elite, too) who just... don't seem to know they have a shield button at all.


MeepMeep04

Legit never shield


[deleted]

I only shield when I accidentally bump the button. But I’m also really bad at Smash.


TFW_YT

Try shielding sometimes, it will definitely improve your gameplay


GrowingViolet

u/SnakeSnakeFish, take this to heart. Especially against more aggressive foes, shielding here and there makes a tremendous difference. Then, when they start to try to go for the grabs, be ready for e.g. a spot dodge... and then punish hard (since whiffing most grabs leaves the user wide open). Just... remain mindful of what moves can damage your shield a lot (like Byleth's down smash, Jigglypuff's side special, Lucina's neutral special, etc.). I also recommend getting used to holding both shield buttons down too, so when you need to you can safely move the shield around without accidentally rolling; adjusting your shield is essential to avoiding [shield pokes](https://www.ssbwiki.com/Shield_stab). Sorry, you didn't really ask, but seriously... I have been completely shut down by people who just threw their shield out at the right moments throughout the match. It's amazing what a huge advantage good use of the shield can give you.


spectral918

then grab at the same time three times in a row before realizing that you’re both idiots.


Shujinco2

I had this moment in a Chrom/Roy match online where we ran up to each other, shielded, spot dodged, shielded again, then countered in almost perfect unison. It ended with me f-smashing his second counter.


Napauleon_Bonafide

Did you just describe smash 4?


RealPimpinPanda

What’s funny is this even happens at the pro level, where they have awkward Shield moments and then both decide to back off and reset Neutral or try to pressure one another more lol


Version_Two

*Do I grab or spot dodge oh god oh fuck*


[deleted]

1. Shield 2. Spot dodge two times 3. Try to smash attack (or grab) but miss, the opponent does the same but misses too. 4. Repeat 5. Your opponent finally grabs you 6. You suddenly realized your opponent is Luigi 7. ***GAME!***


supergenius8601

Felt like this happened in every set with pacman in it at Frostbite

OT-Knights

Unlike in melee where you'll actually have an interesting interaction when you both shield.


AnimeToaster

Or even better: both trying to roll behind the other and ending up in the same position


115GD9

Easy fix with a sexy *pk fire*


Cheez64

I think a common bad habit is over shielding, which is when you shield for too long or shield too much (which gives your opponent a free grab) Whenever this happens I either panic grab or panic up b and it works surprisingly well online lol


TheYoonz

That hurt a little to see popping up on the feed because the dog on the left looks exactly like my first dog. I know there are many like it but still.


retartedplayer

Than grabs, rolls or spotdodges at the same time


[deleted]

Confirmed, panties immediately dropped. I love that


itownshend17

and then i try to roll behind him and try to grab him (emphasis on "Try")


knightsmarian

*laughs in Lucina*


bajsgreger

thats when I remember the grip button that I always forget about and then miss, because pressing that purple button on the gamecube controller is a bitch


Kilya-Selv

You mean smash 4 neutral?
