Tech chasing is probably one of the coolest things you can do in unltimate. The game becomes litarally who can get in each others heads first. And when you get a read and punish it, it feels so satisfying knowing that you picked a good option and outdid your opponent in that interaction.
Or you can be Jigglypuff and have guaranteed sing setups off of any missed tech or platform techchase In which case it's hype the first 5 times and lame the rest Edit: tech read rest/rest confirm are also nuclear
To all the people wondering where our boy is, on his Twitter he has announced he is taking a nice long break. He has announced since July. Please be patient and give our boy some time, he deserves it after all he has done for us
idk if its just me but so many people talk about tech/di and whatnot but they dont explain what they are in the first place, so thanks for adding that first bit im gonna start trying to tech in games
I think esam mentioned in a video or stream that top players can read the tech based on the opponents DI, if they DI away they'll probably tech away and the DI in means tech in
I love to once in a full moon tech read a roll out with Hero's fully charged neutral B and get a kill at like 40%. It's awesome and usually when it misses, it makes the opponent like scared as fuck to tech roll away the next time.
@@aggressivepianonoises813 have you tried approaching with a short hop and charged side B? Sometimes the opponent drop the shield and take the full thing in they're backs.
Love getting a jab lock or fsmash roll tech if i’m fast enough as mario, you know the opponent is definitely thinking “ i wanna play the game but i can’t ffs”
The main reason that tech chasing is more common/essential in melee is that there is more hit stun. There are a lot less instances of being able to jump out of a throw or hit. Crouch canceling and slide offs are the main alternatives
This is a super good video, but i still wanna add some things. 1. If your opponent is at ledge, there are many instances that you can cover all options because their techroll out will be shortened because of the ledge. This is specifically good with charachters that are already goood at covering multiple options at once, like Donkey Kong with his down-b and many downsmashes, so this is a good thing to look out for to get your opponent in an even worse position then they already are. 2. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS MIX YOUR OPTIONS UP. This is pretty obvious, but it was'nt mentioned in the video so i wanted to add this. it's good to think of it as just random, just randomly go for an option, this is the most optimal way to do this in my opinion, and it also does'nt require as much brain power as getting into complex mindgames. 3. Also keep track of what your opponent likes to do after their option of choise. There are some opponents that, say, always first tech in place and then techroll out, obviously not all opponents have such a pattern, but it's definetly a thing to look out for. With that said, i think this is a super good video covering the basics of tech-chasing. Great work as always!
I still can’t believe how much your channel has grown! I’ve been here since 15k and I must say that it has been a joy to see your channel grow more and more popular! May you three stock all that you come across, god bless!
5:55 I'd say this is true for the reason that since you were anticipating it, you only have to recognize that it is happening, while if you weren't anticipating it, you would need to recognize it and figure out what to do.
Great video! Super helpful in many ways. Please excuse me while I shit on it slightly. Melee's tech chasing is easier for other reasons in addition to those listed: More vulnerable frames on techs Faster character movement Lower end lag after throws/moves Higher gravity/longer hitstun forcing techs more often Lower buffer allowing easier reactions Generally worse/slower tech rolls for many characters Lack of buffered airdodge/aerials to escape hitstun I would say memorizing the tech patterns of the top tiers, while a relevant point, matters far less when explaining why tech chasing is so prevalent in melee. It comes down to reaction more than prediction/option selecting though there are some characters that can cover many options at once (falcon side b). This makes tech chasing more consistent and widely available across characters, making it a better strategy in melee vs ultimate.
I've always struggled with tech chasing, which has hurt me on many occasions since Marth gains so much off of them. I have not focused on this enough. I appreciate this video so much, man! Time to become more of a beast.
As a Lucas main, this was really helpful. PK Fire covers a lot of tech options, and if I'm in position, jab lock into down Smash kills ridiculously early
You should make a guide on Attack Canceling and RARs. (Reverse Aerial Rush) Many newer and mid-level players, (like myself I guess), struggle with mastering RARs and Attack Canceling, so it would be cool if you showed your thoughts and tips on it.
Im definitely gonna try to show some friends these videos. They don't help me that much cuz I've been competitive for 6 years, but I think these videos are brilliant for bringing mediocre players to actually good. Thanks
As an Incin main, I can actually do a lot of things by dealing with tech chases and rolls/spotdodges. Neutral-b makes his arms invincible and while doing that, you can drift foward or backwards to safely punish a roll. To punish a getup attack, you can do a shorthop and do side-b a little early, like right before the peak of the shorthop and then you get the command grab and then you can alola whip their asses. You can go wild with up-b because of super armor on startup, and the fact you can go through platforms/ledges and angle it so you can optimize everything for most damage and surprises. Many people didn't know you can do that and they think they can always punish his up-b >:3 Well they can but you can really shmix someone up.
So satisfying to body someone that’s camping and not approaching at all. big fuck you to them. They usually always tech away being so afraid of conflict and all.
Dude your videos are so amazing. The editing is godlike. I just wish you would make a video on something completely random (not smash, more like, making a hot dog) but with the same style of editing, I would laugh my ass off, or at least a cheek. Also it's not called carpet yoshi, it's crusty yoshi.
When someone hits the ground and the special effect is red, that means it's untechable. When it is green, you can tech but you should always tech anyway unless you want to keep a distance away from your oppenent.
I really wish I knew about teching when I started because now I just forget to tech. so when I’m in the middle of a match and then my muscle memory makes me do the normal way and then a second later I just realize “shit I forgot to tech”
learning to exploit tech-chase and building you own tech-chase flow chart is one of the easiest and fastest way to improve your conversion. Suddenly your punish game become more rewarding because you rack new damages you weren't thinking about before and new last hit opportunities arise.
I love how he uses multiple characters all the time to prove every body can do it, it helps out a lot
Dr Mario be like
There is not a single body that canot (get it? you misspelled "every body")
Yeah it really helps out
I'm going to guess that Min-Min might be a tech-chasing goddess. Might. I dunno. Something about F-Smash covering half of FD gives me that feeling.
Well, so can Simon and Ricter and Corrin and Bayonetta and Mega man and-

Thanks pal, I don’t follow his twitter so I was starting to get concerned. Just want to make sure my man’s all good and well.
thank you i was getting worried that he just vanished

I feel bad for people who can't roll read rest, jab lock sing, or plat techchase sing
Puff's techchasing is so priveleged
Melee really helped me understand this idea. I destroy when random gives me Puff now.
@@Pslamist it's even better in ult
Puff main gaaaaaaaaa-
Yo wait what was I on it's easier in ult but you're not gonna kill at 10 for free like in melee, you'd need a really good setup
@@cowspawnerthecringeworthy7815L
get better
I feel like a solid part 2 to this would be covering when you should tech or miss-tech and how to be less predictable with your tech options.
12:10 I will hold you to that, Banana Boy.

Thanks for the insight on smash man keep it up!!!
New videos.... ALMOST every Monday!
Thank you Banana Boy!! I have been having issues with tech chasing lately!! This will give me a big edge in the upcoming tournaments I plan to enter!!
Just a quick note for 6:20 in the video: the less than symbol is *
12:10 its been 2 weeks with no new upload, i cant wait to see carpet yoshi
There’s some nasty stuff going on in the smash community, so that might be why he hasn’t uploaded.
@@HankTank81 he's just taking a break
You always come through for us. I love these videos to refresh fundies
yeessssssss, techasing is so important in this game, especially compared to smash 4

I love how all these smash tutorials, while very helpful, are so simple in execution.
Moral of the story: Git Gud Kid 😎
I'm so glad you got sponsored by gamer juice, that's pretty pog. Love your videos, learn a lot when I watch them!
Your videos are incredibly informative, helpful, and and entertaining! I look forward to every upload, keep up the great work!
hey bananaboy do you have a video coming soon? I really love your content and have improved greatly from your channel.
I like the use of Kirby music in this vid, this gets a like by me just for that(also cause the info given was good)
Damn he better upload I’m not about to see carpet Yoshi for a month. The abomination
2:05 nope jump comes out frame 3 and i love your videos keep up the good work
Tech chase is my favourite mechanic in all smash, it feels so rewarding getting 0-90+ percent or a kill by not letting your opponent breath.
So satisfying to body someone that’s camping and not approaching at all. big fuck you to them. They usually always tech away being so afraid of conflict and all.
Thats for all the guides bro YOU DESERVE 10000000 SUBS, im beating my brothers a** now
But i need a nintendo switch to play ult i only got 4 for now
I hope gimir watches this video and educates him on just get-up attacking.
It’s carpet yoshi time
Banana is ALIVE AGAIN

so its been more than 2 weeks.......
mom but gfuel will help me learn- nO JIMMY

Yay I finally know what teching is
Flare Blitz, whenever you feel like it.
the more I watch these videos, the more I realize that smash is 80% mind games
Nah m8 that rob tech chase was amazing
"Specifically the ones that go 'boom boom'."
Love your guides! Keep going!
5:03 OPTIMAL

Creepo_J doesn’t that only apply to walls?
It’s been a while since he posted a video, is all ok?
I didn’t even know you can tech after getting hit😳
That planet earth joke was great
It's been 4 months a new banana boy community post is due
Yo our boy got a Gfule sponsorship
I’ll still go for those hard read rest when I send someone near ledge
I would love to see a video about tournament stages!
He has to change his profile pic to carpet yoshi it has been 1 month since last upload
I was literally practicing tech chasing, then got bored and went on UA-cam when I found this video. I’m getting stalked.
Tip: roy can side be twice if the opponent misses a tech than for for a read with fsmash to kill
I really wish I knew about teching when I started because now I just forget to tech. so when I’m in the middle of a match and then my muscle memory makes me do the normal way and then a second later I just realize “shit I forgot to tech”
Thanks for another informative video!!!
good music choice
See you later Banana King, take your time.
thanks this will really help
Speaking of tech chasing. Wouldn't Min-Min be a god at those?
Yes i know it's early but still
Please do Reverse Aerial Rush and instant back air. Plus combo examples.
The only info I’ve retained from this video is that charizard has a good grab
I had no idea this is what teching was until now
Super nice video!
Ayyye pride banana boy!
Well boys, he got a gfuel sponsor
Good background music :D
Hope your feeling good banana guy (:

Could I ask for a video on how and when to use grabs? I have more problems dealing with grabs and using them than most other problems.
Banana nana boyyyyyyy boi
Nice job
My favourite character to tech chase with is Gannondorf and his side B
