The next step in the New Meta. GyroHawk Watch the Full Two Part Video on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=VZ2_Ln…

@Colossal_Mini If I'm casually watching a set, I won't be looking out to see if players are checking each other. But definitely when I'm playing, it's all I'm doing or looking out for (you ever see a player jab 1 on shield then slightly walk and turnaround the other way? That's exactly a check)

@TopPlayerLUU "you can think of neutral as a series of checks" is interesting, do you watch and play the game thinking like that?

A post on Smash Theory. I often explain a lot of concepts in smash, so I'm posting this here as someone reading could really resonate with this. These posts focus on Delay Timing and Checks. The first 3 are from practicing P+ Ness dittos and the 4th image is from ROB discord.

I'd love to hear/read what others think about concepts like this. Please let me know!

I don't mean to alarm anyone but ROB killed Ridley off a GRAB at 0% across the stage. Imagine that.

Gyrohawk👍🏻 Z drop loop👍🏻 Double toss👍🏻

@Jmoto_tk To be fair, I always knew adoption of the advanced techniques would be slow... I'm holding out hope that we see top level GyroHawks before the next smash game releases 🙏

@TopPlayerLUU I've been following you since you made those guides YEARS ago. What are these ROBs doing just play him like he's Link 7 whole years later 😭

I love how I recently wrote a thread on why Z-drop loop was needed and this video comes up soon after 🙂 Here, ROB has high rage and the first GNair was scuffed, if he had done only GyroNairs, the combo would fail. This is also an instance of z-drop loop catching 2 DI Aways! 🔥

x.com/TopPlayerLUU/s… Similarly, when I hit a Z-drop loop conversion on MinMin, it was after she DId away on a STRONG NAIR. I also had significant rage. The fact Z-drop loop still works vs DI in and DI away is what makes it so damn strong. Glad we have these ROBs showcasing!

@Bidii_Palu @shitposts_mp4 🤫🤫🤫🤫

@shitposts_mp4 @TopPlayerLUU yo I saw that 👀

@shitposts_mp4 That Samus American air dodged not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES

@cluncz_ I'm unsure if z drop loops are in his combo repertoire tbh... but yeah, when we saw the minmin height after gnair 2, I'm pretty sure we ALL saw and FELT the z drop loop being perfectly placed... It's crazy what labbing this has done to our mental recognition of these things!

@TopPlayerLUU Dang, someone’s gotta tell him he could be getting these kills guaranteed rather than needing an airdodge read or hoping for Di in.

Now did any other New Meta or seasoned gyro combo ROB players see the execution of Zomba's G5 gyrocombo vs Doramigi and clench as hard as I did... Holy moly, i dunno man, the way it started and the way it ended, the boy was so fortunate he got it all to link!

@cluncz_ An earlier gnair conversion he got in the set, he executed it similarly but knew he couldn't follow up so he did a gyronair reset to cover airdodge in, got the confirm and killed. His input execution in this combo was the same, so i believe he really went for gnair 3 on purpose!

@TopPlayerLUU Legit thought the same thing it looked like the z drop was delayed perfectly for the z drop loop so maybe he just missed the fast fall after the z drop.

@AleXssbu The fact that GNair 2 was a weak nair was really shocking, it gave a final lifeline which was why z-drop loop was needed... so to see gnair 3 come out was like "omgggg" that DI in was EVERYTHING, Zomba had no choice by that point, he had to keep going, the full hop ftoss was 😩😩

@TopPlayerLUU Ofc Dora had massive DI in, Zomba simply capitalized well

@ROBSlayer_Ssbu Yeahhh 🫠🫠

@TopPlayerLUU I thought this too bro cause it looked like it would've just missed otherwise. Surprised he made it work tho

@Titanium_57 Honestly it may have even triggered harder in my brain because YOU use the same colour. So I thought I was watching you and so just naturally expected z-drop loop to come out, and it didn't.... then my heart rate shot up 💀💀💀

@TopPlayerLUU I thought this too lol. It def looked like he wanted zdrop loop. W doramigi for getting hit by the nair starter and holding in

3) cont. With the doramigi example, he jumped and zomba came down with late nair and hit tipper of the bottom of the nair. It's not very hard to understand this happened as it does, so that will signal to mash up and away for the rest of the combo. Though I may see it easier tbf.

3) If ROB hits Strong gyro nair and needs more than 1 Gnair, mash up and away, he will have to end the combo early, if he continues, the combo drops. (This is what Doramigi needed). It is not always possible to know if the first nair was strong, but you may check % or position..
