0:00 what is up everybody today we're going to be talking about my me brawler a lot of people have questions as to why i play me brawler why i run the set that i do so i wanted to answer some of those questions and kind of show you what i mean in training mode i do have a more in-depth zero to death combo guide coming for this character not to step on gagel's toes it's just going to be a little bit different shout out to all the new brothers that have already made content that i've been able to take advantage of to learn some stuff about the character and i just think i can push the character a little bit farther so the set that i run is one two three two which is shock put flaming drop kick thrust uppercut and flip jump i think it is the best set for me brawler universally i do think that there are other good moves and other good sets but i do think this is the most universally strong set and i will explain why because there is one hot take that
0:46 people definitely consistently disagree with me for so for the most part the downbeat is always going to be flip jump i think that there is maybe one character one mashup that you would switch off of this flip jump for which might be sonic because you can use the counter throw against spin dash and that would kind of be it that's the only one i can imagine not wanting a recovery disadvantage tool that comes out on frame two it's a good move the other ones are less standard i tend to use thrust uppercut as you can see in all of the combos and all the videos i make about me brawler uh this character really just hurts and can kill with this uh you know you get low percent combos because they're not dying right now but trust me this works with vi maybe do a little bit better uh out of the face you get down throw fare into upbeat i also did that one wrong
1:31 pardon me i'm listening to music at this time so uh but that's a combo so just 35 ish uh snailing's off currently but it might do a little bit more than that uh so it is early percent combos of course it's great at a shield because it's frame three so you can just punish most things if they are not properly spaced on your character of course you've seen me get the really early kills it's broken on platforms down throw thrust uppercut is a thing or down throw a throbber is a thing it probably works on cable in about 100 probably with or without di because gi doesn't really change this and it just kills off the top okay wow 100 was really low sorry i forgot how high this character was there we go and with di without di it'll still kill i'm just being lazy right now i will talk about more if you want some basic information and some other brawler videos i will link down to some of gagel's videos down below being
2:17 downthrow thrust uppercut and uh his general combo guide because they're really really good videos if you want to start playing me brawler but other than this uh the two other specials that i run are shotput which is the projectile uh it forces people off stage or rather it forces people to use their resources off stage whether it's jumping or air dodging it's just a good way to not really commit offstage because me brawler being a fast faller doesn't always want to go on stage fastballers are generally not super good at edge guarding so you just hit someone on stage you have a low committal move force them to air dodge you can get kills off of it because it is definitely still good enough to hit uh it's very easy to aim and if you're wrong it doesn't really matter because you do this they get to the ledge and you start trapping them so it's really not that big of a deal it's good for recovery as well so let's pretend like i got hit off stage really high i can always you know
3:03 do jump jump shotput and it kind of covers myself similar to what i would do with thunderjolt and also it can cover a downbeat which is nice so it's useful for recovery because it gets people off of you it's useful in advantage state and it's not super useful in neutral i mean if you're expecting someone to dash back you can technically do this but it's so laggy that i would generally rather not i'd rather just take the space and kind of sit there which is fine they're both good options but the most contentious pick that i have that i think is absolutely paramount to brawler at top level is burning dropkick it's the side b that acts very similar to skull bash wow i wonder why i use it but honestly this move is really really underrated so first off uh i like it as a recovery tool in this age in this meta uh people are hitting you once and killing you people are hitting you once and eventuating you to death or
3:48 alleged trapping you to death um or edge guarding you brawler without this move doesn't have that good of a recovery of course he does have um you know his flip jump as i kind of mentioned but if you only have one extra option that's not gonna be good enough i mean it's why zero suit can sometimes get edge guarded even with flip jump granted her flip jump is much better than me brawlers um so either way it allows you to basically have multiple options when you're recovering and a big reason why is a little secret technique i don't know who found this out if you're moving backwards and you be reverse it towards the opposite direction or wave bounce it depending on if you're facing the opposite way or not uh you get way more distance so i'm going to just jump and do a smash input of the side b really quick and you see i get to about center right uh but if you jump backwards then sideways around the same spot and you do the b reverse thing you go way farther
4:35 and way faster which is really really good because it allows you to drift away from the ledge and then still snap it like i'm almost in bubble right like this is bubble approximately and i can still make it back with no jump you get to use multiple in one disadvantage so you can sometimes uh burning drop kick away uh just to avoid an advantage state and then otherwise just kind of do it again and recover which is really really good especially again with the magical b reverse thing it's also good for whip punishing i've been playing a bunch of top players i have a set of meister going up either the day before or the day after this video comes out so if you haven't already seen it if it's out go check it out if not it'll be up tomorrow i also play the first of five with sonics is roy and i'm with punishing people uh with side b i didn't really think i would ever really want to use it aggressively but again brawler especially how i play brawler is really
5:20 like up in your face and aggressive and so a lot of times if you give space away people will want to take that immediately because they kind of need it otherwise they're going to be trapped at the ledge the whole game but you can also just like jump backwards and then kind of surprise them with a b reverse kick again that's so far and really really fast if they dash they won't be able to shield if they uh jump they're gonna get hit probably unless they swat you out in which case ggs they got it uh i think that it's really really good for this character to have this ability to get out of this advantage a lot easier recover a lot easier because if you get hit out of flip jump you still have the option to slide me and one thing that i haven't talked about which i can probably hopefully get into as i do a couple of practice games to kind of show what i'm doing is uh you can use it to punish air dodges off stage so you kind of hit someone off stage and then they like double jump and then you hit them back out and they have to air dodge to
6:06 recover and you can just fall off and side me them and you bounce off kind of like you would with pikachu and then you just recover which is really really really useful because it just allows you to get kills that ordinarily you can't because as i mentioned earlier fast mothers don't really want to edge guard but with this if it's a guaranteed hit it's a guaranteed hit and that's a stock and that's really easy and really important and i've got so many kills from nest air dodging or just core and air dodging or so random sorties or mario anyone that i'm just like oh you airdodged and just hit them for it which is really really strong getting those kills is really good it's honestly better for that than skull bashes otherwise i think this character is absolutely broken again i will have the more in-depth character guide or combo guide and a little bit to the combo that i invented or found i guess because i didn't invent the character uh but it this character is actually absurd in my opinion arguably top 10 probably i think
6:52 better maybe better than mario which is crazy to say because i normally put mario very high in my tier lists but uh yeah i think this character is a bit absurd but let me go into uh elite smash so i can play a couple games and kind of show off some stuff and talk to you about brawler but before we go into elite smash don't forget to scroll down hit that subscribe button comment to see if you're enjoying the me brawler i know i've had a lot of streams with that i don't know if you've watched the streams if you haven't go check out my twitch because it's really fun and i've been enjoying me brawler a lot [Music] of oh i didn't kill [Music]
7:39 sucks you know i meant to land on the platform [Music] no it was so close that does work by the way [Music] different cup see like the side we can cover lunch options it can cover random burst options and cover aerials it's just it's really good see i made this like they couldn't
8:25 tether which is cool good combos either way set up the platforms and i messed it up because it's a new controller i love this oh that was supposed to be a combo but i messed it up again covering my recovery that was part of the video i did are you dead no you didn't die even with the pummel now you're done oh
9:12 that's exactly what i'm talking about and then we're covered with sidon recover side b again i thought i had to jump and that's my bad i appreciate their attention but not gonna land yeah that's just a little snippet um again i would say those are not the most convincing games that i've ever had if you want to check out my stream and i have better ones you can do that again i will have a couple of the exhibitions that i have up uh hopefully this will not have to be my controller that i use for a long time because that felt really uncomfortable yes john it's my own youtube channel i can john if i want to but yeah me brawler is absolutely ridiculous i will be putting out the videos about his combo sequences and stuff like that relatively soon it's just going to take a while because i like being very thorough uh and yeah as so as always social media pin important
9:58 stuff is down below let me know what other characters or topics you want me to talk about especially if they're ones that i like and yeah i'll see you all next time pikachu busted [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
