Wow. Corrin is one of my mains and I still got my mind blown by these strategies I never even knew about. Proof that hours of playtime doesn't magically make someone the best, it requires actual in-depth thought and practice.
This was exactly what I needed to understand how to play Corrin. I am still a newbie but I'm taking the game very serious and I love Corrin. I took pages of notes from this video and then even resummarized them on a wordpad just so I could remember them lol... I am playing incredibly better and increasing in skill so much because of what your video showed me. You explain and teach things so well. Thank you!
if you miss with the dragon lunge altogwther and the lance doesnt even hit just use the jump or backward option depending on your opponents positioning
Nice guide, Corrin gets a bad rap as having a boring or repetitive play style but I find them to be quite interesting and versatile. I’m a pretty casual player but Smash has been a good way to pass time during the madness of 2020. I’ve worked out a few of these techniques just from playing online more seriously but this gave me some great pointers for improving some of my weaknesses and showed me a few things I hadn’t yet stumbled upon. Great job on delivering clear instruction, a simple delivery coupled with concise explanation for when and why the options function goes a long way to making theory easy to understand and utilize. Thanks and keep up the good work.
It’s crazy to me that people think she has a boring playstyle when Marth, Lucina, Roy, Chrom and Ike are in the game. All fighters made from the same template. Then we got Corrin with a much more unique moveset and she’s called boring lol
@@Runeforged Corrin is based on the Fire Emblem Manaketes which are people that turn into Dragons, however Corrin is smaller and weirder than the others. Most likely for the sake of balance.
Man I remember when ultimate came out, I had to learn how to play corrin without guides like these. It was a really long time before I actually got good at playing corrin consistently since I had to learn everything from scratch or had to pull stuff from smash 4 and rework it. Still though, for some reason corrin is probably the funnest character to play for me, so it was totally worth it. I’m glad that more and more guides like these exist now, really helps out
This is exactly what I searched for. I am maining Ganon for two years now, but because of the current meta I decided to find a “new” main or at least a secondary. And Corrin is pretty unique in this game, so my decision was pretty easy. Thanks again for the video!
If you mained Ganon and are now going with Corrin, Byleth should be at least your secondary. Byleth is pretty much how the child of Ganon and a FE swordie would play.
I think this is very GOOD and I love that u referenced back to the frame trap thing. One thing u didn't really cover was the mobility given as well as the mix-ups that come along with pin-kick lag cancelling off of plats which is very useful in getting around the stage and getting kills or starting up combos. Thank you for this, I'll spread it to a server that needs it💜
Oh my goodness this is so good. Random I just got the urge to look into corrin to see if I can pick her up and this video is so insightful. Recently I've been in bit of a beginners slump, where I just couldn't to see an opportunity to improve, but with this I feel inspired to play again! I hope there's more good guides like these!
Thanks for this! I’m not a pro player but after trying out so many characters, I find I always come back to Corrin! I’m gonna refer to this video to get even better. I won against my brother 5 times today when usually it’s the other way around haha!
Thank you very much. As a newer player to Smash I’m attempting to main her but i’m struggling hard. I realize now she’s versatile and complicated and I’m a major noob. Back to training...
Tee Wilson Thanks man. I’m trying hard. Lots of lab time and fighting hardest difficulty cpus to get a handle on her before going online. Also, doing her back aerial in combos is hard lol.
@@Runeforged Tbh i rather do online arenas than fighting a computer, because your basically learning on how to fight a computer instead of a real player..
Recently tried Corrin and I realized that it’s just such a fun and fitting character for me and that I had to at least use him as at least a secondary! Trying to get much better at em and this really helped! You earned a sub!
Just wanna say I've been watching ssbu for about 2 years now and only just started playing a few months ago, and online LAST month and this guide has been HUGE for me. Seriously quality stuff thanks bud
Hi Nickleo! Awesome tutorial, will review a lot. I am a Corrin main, and I would like to see some more Corrin videos like their fastest moves, safe moves, etc. Keep up the good work!
If you Smash Stick (i.e. default controls) with Corrin, you can Dash Cancel into Down Smash that kills Mario from the edge at 79%. Just dash, press back and then down on c-stick. She'll slide in while turning, and then hit the Down Smash with the stronger back side.
thank you so much i love corrin playstyle but no matter how hard i try or even fight my corrin amibo i cant seem to do anything so thank you for this guild i am really hoping to get better at the game uwu just got the switch and game for my birthday like 4days ago so here to a great video and hopefully my rode to impovment
I still miss their old side b and up b. Regardless, this helped me a little with combos, and I didn't know about that F-smash buff. Thanks! Let's stay strong, Corrin mains. (Biased note: I also appreciated you, for the most part, referring to Corrin as "they". It makes Male Corrin players like me feel Welcome.)
Bro, i have always liked Corrin, but the Dair and DashA were things i couldn't get over at first, but since 8.0, i have been feeling very spicy with Corrin, and providing better coverage than my Main...so i put in alot of alone time to try and get very comfortable with his/her moves, and practicing against local, equally skilled opponents...Thank you for this video to tie together the game plan and frame data...i was only looking for a Ledge trap corrin guide...and i found the complete guide ❤
@@intermediateingrid5746 izawsmash has a very, very good video about corrin. Highly suggest you look into it. He makes very technical videos. If you want to learn, his content is definitely for you.
Great Video. Your Guides about Rosa and Corrin are so good explained and full of Information. This Guide helps me lot of better understanding the Character. Nice Work. Thanks for the Video.
Nice. Just picked up corrin as my hopeful 14th elite member. Some really good edge guarding stuff. Especially side b on ledge. That's a trixy manovour.
My main has been switching between Lucina and Corrin and as someone who had played for..... less than a month rn? this helps A LOT (Yes, ultimate is my first smash game)
Another option for ledge trapping: facing towards the stage while charging f-smash at ledge covers all options except for attack, and can be good for conditioning the opponent into choosing an aggressive option or waiting.
Oh a side note : i discovered a tech with Corrin . If you full hop side b you can still jump and air dodge but hitting the ground . But if you wanna spam full hop side b quickly , do a full hop side b and immediately buffer toward air . Forward air autocancels 1-8 before the hit box comes out . So if you input the forward air before hitting the ground after a full hop side b you land on the ground with no lag . So if you don’t airdodge or jump after a full hop side b , you can do this also to land on the ground with no lag so you can almost spam pins !
Thanks for the guide. I played Corrin on Wii U but I dropped her in Ultimate in favour of Byleth. Looking to learn Corrin again as I forgot how to play her and maybe use her as a secondary
No problem, glad you could get value from it! Byleth is definitely better at calling out your opponent in neutral with their extra long disjoints, but Corrin has a much better combo / pressure game imo
I know this will make me seem like a noob but in all of these guides, they just use the lingo (which I'm not too familiar with yet), so I'm having to watch 4 seconds of the video, pause and look up wtf that means lol and repeat. I guess it's because of different consoles (?) but I just wanna know what buttons to push lmao
For Corrin's fsmash just mash the jump button, most of the time if you're stuck you wont get the tipper so you wont die, just take the hit cuz its better than getting a shield break. if you keep di-ing up there's a chance that the fsmash will whiff.
Lord Benpai are you suggesting that the opponent should drop shield when Corrin charges Fsmash? If so, I’d say that’s the 2nd best option, where shield DI is still the best because they won’t get hit at all and could sometimes punish Corrin
@@Nick_Leo I shoudlve specified more. if they catch you without shield or if your shield is low. Between choosing a shield break or an extra 20 percent ill go with the extra 20 percent any day because once your shield is broken against corrin youre so utterly screwed either getting tipper and die at 60% ish (thankfully they buffed it since last patch) or get a almost 40 % potential kill with dragon fang shot. While breaking your shield is always bad, its made worst against corrin.
So I decided to pick up Corrin today because why not. I played fates when I was younger and I love the way Corrin looks. Past me: Corrin is so bad. He/she has no combos and is too slow to do anything. No wonder she's low mid tier. Me from 15 minutes ago: Corrin is actually kinda fun. Sure his/her strings aren't as good as other character's but I like his/her range and disadvantage thanks to back air, counter, and up b. I wonder if somebody made a guide fo- Me now: Lame character shmaracter. Corrin is kinda dope! Thank you for this video.
the Reason for fate's sloppy story, is because the writers where trying to achieve too much with not enough time. Intelligents Systems had an idea for Fate to have three stories to appeal to everyone, but they realized that they didn't have enough writers. So they hired an outside writer, Shin Kibayashi was that writer. Nintendo wanted Shin to write the outline for each pathway, what happened instead is that Shin wrote 500 pages for each pathway. Nintendo knew this was too long so they cut the story into pieces without the writers permission and the fact the Nintendo demanded Fates come on the Fire Emblem Anniversary only made things worse. Which resulted in this hilariously mess of a story. The good news this that there is a manga based on Fates that is a little better. Its called Fire Emblem If: the Crown of Niberlung. The source, regular Wikipedia of Fire Emblem Fates.
@@orangeslash1667 dunno the form seems pretty big to me. Too bad it isn't used more in his/her smash moveset. I would have loved to see a cool dash or stronger kill throws, but oh well.
For the last side b thing, it does work on characters shorter than mario. You just have to press down first so quarter circle towards them > B. This also glitches you back on top of the platform if done fast enough, yet still somehow reaches them. Very wierd tech.
Thanks for giving Corrin some much needed attention! Us Corrin players gotta stick together!

Yes, yes it does :)

This seem like a good character for secondary main

My question is how this has 41k views, there's like 14 corrin mains at most
Ever since Corrun got buffed, the amount of Corrin mains doubled from like 14, to 28

might pick Corrin back up now, or at least get them to 7 mil GSP
