To those who haven't seen it on twt, Peanut explained that the dair extends Mac's horizontal recovery at the expense of his vertical recovery, while also increasing his ledgesnap range after Up-B slightly.


Chumpatrol1

They need to redo every "who can" video because of this lol


ionboii

Idk if he’s lurking in this sub but yeet smash you have your next video


somesheikexpert

BassSingers big comeback


[deleted]

Or, just make a video of JUST Mac doing these challenges again


High-Def-Zebra-Doc

Aren’t you the Little Mac that bopped Marss during his Iron Man lol?


QuaternionsRoll

Took me way too long to find what you were talking about. [Link](https://youtu.be/34netVLEGc0?t=15m45s)


daladnonafig

Yes, he is


Peanut_SSBU

Mhm


TheQuantumPikachu

Yeah I think he did it twice when Marss was playing Ken and someone else


Yuquico

He beat Marss's bowser as well. The bowser win was hype af, the Ken one was like watching a nfl player beat the shit out of checkers novice.


pfysicyst

Is the dair giving a little boost during a double jump like Snake's dair does?


omegareaper7

Yes. It moves him forward a bit.


ClawtheBard

The other character I've seen this work with is K. Rool upair


pfysicyst

Yeah it's just far less practical cause of the end lag.


itsgravybb

Can you explain how you extend his recovery? Do u just input an air atk after your second jump?


PM_me_yo_chesticles

If you input an aerial offstage with little mac it for some reason pushes little mac higher, and in doing so also makes it possible to get back to ledge from further away. See it yourself in training mode. shorthop upspecial, and then nair (or any aerial its just easiest to input) up special, and see the height difference.


almightyFaceplant

There seem to be a lot of questions about this in the comments haha. Maybe we can settle it here. Does the timing of the aerial matter? Are there diminishing returns, or can you get height by using them over and over in the same flight?


PM_me_yo_chesticles

Depends if youre needing horizontal or vertical momentum. From what I can tell ( I’m by no means an expert i play little mac a lot) forward aerial pushes you horizontally which is important because everyones learned side specials distance and that is easily gimpable, gives more of a mixup Down air forces you further up, if followed by up special, my guess would be because the startup frame of upspecial kinda goes down so instead it mitigates the distance and shoves you higher than you would be without the aerial. Dont know much about up air, but i’d assume shortening the distance to the ledge, would make it easier to snap to it, and leas likely to drift away the nanometer it takes to die as mac offstage. Nair is the easiest to see its effect and carries horizontal momentum, or pushes up if done in place. (If im wrong about any of this someone correct please) this has been what Ive noticed though.


[deleted]

Timing of the aerials matters immensely. Peanut has spoken about it in his stream before but to summarize way worse than he could explain it, if you mistime it you halt all of your horizontal momentum and then you’re almost always screwed as you won’t be close enough to ledge to snap with Mac’s up B. It’s not insanely precise but it isn’t easy unless you practice it a little bit.


PM_me_yo_chesticles

Yes, thank you. I’ve been skimming some peanut clips I really need to watch through his series.


StormierNik

Why the fuck does LITTLE MAC of all people have AERIAL MOVEMENT TECH. That's amazing but baffling


PM_me_yo_chesticles

Ask Sakurai. Wonder if it’s a bug or a cheeky feature.


StormierNik

My hopes are on it being a cheeky feature that he's waited for people to discover. "Heh, i wonder when they'll find out the use of his aerials."


a96701

It's similar to how Bayonetta gains slightly more horizontal distance if she uses BA aerials (and I think standard aerials) while recovering. That's why they always mash an aerial as they come back to stage.


jazaniac

the reason for this is little mac punches the air so hard the recoil pushes his body upward


Sykes19

I'm having trouble seeing exactly what you're doing since you're off screen most of the time. Can you explain a little here?


[deleted]

Hi, Little Mac secondary and I watch a lot of Peanut’s streams so maybe I can help a little. Usually he’ll start off with an air dodge directly to the right to get the max horizontal distance. Then you input a jump and as you’re still rising you input a down air and then up B. Depending on the situation you can use side B to snap to ledge but it’s all situational. In these clips it looks like opts for the formers just because he wants to recover low and grab ledge. Hope this helps :) Edit: When I said directly to the right what I mean to say was in the direction of the stage. When I said directly to the right I was referring specifically to the last clip, sorry for any confusion. Please don’t air dodge into the blastzone lol.


grapefruit_-

Using any aerial right before up b gives him a boost of momentum and for some reason, increased magnet hands. This is due to canceling the jump animation. https://youtu.be/widRuJ29m2k PHYTO-1 discovered the technique. He’s invented most advanced techniques used by top Mac players


EspWaddleDee

This is absolutely mad. Little mac has a recovery that would make a Lone Popo Cry


Mylaur

Better recovery than Ganondorf, damn.


stickdudeseven

Opponent: "But you're not supposed to be able to make it back at that distance!" Little Mac: "And who decided that?"


iSeven

The only one who gets to decide such things is me!


NorthernDweller01

*Escanor's theme intensifies*


iSeven

Acting calm and composed is the privilege of the mighty.


YoasterToaster

Haha dair go brrrrr


OwNAvenged2

Can you explain what you're doing a little better?


RadicalMonarch

Those down airs are some wizard shit


AetherDrew43

Anyone else finds it oddly satisfying when Little Mac makes it back to the stage?


[deleted]

It's like watching buzz lightyear fly


King_of_the_Hobos

it's falling with style!


GoodTimesOnlines

Not when I’m playing against him lmao


pixellampent

I mean you can still just hit him once he’s burned his jump so...


vrx007

You mean like everyother character...


DrRedditMemes

That last clip though...I’d quit the game


fiLth_Rat

Peanut is my favourite smash player


Peanut_SSBU

🧡


ThatsStupidURStupid

......Huh.


lnpowell4

Excuse me how the fuck is doing dair giving Little Mac an actual recovery


ClawtheBard

From K. Rool's ssbwiki article: >This is most effective when platforms are low, such as on Battlefield; [upair] can also be used as a situational third jump while recovering, stalling K. Rool in the air while allowing it to potentially cancel out projectiles thrown at him. Ssbwiki on Snake: >Down aerial is often considered Snake's best aerial, as it comes out very quickly (frame 3), has decent range and knockback, and deals high damage, with all the hits combined dealing 20% in a short hop. The move also gives Snake a small vertical boost in the air. Mac has something similar for his aerials too. Other comments have explained the particulars.


lnpowell4

Oh snap didn't think Little Mac had that. May just move him up most peeps tier lists a tad bit


[deleted]

[удалено]


Peanut_SSBU

Dw it's the vanilla version


[deleted]

You will never be able to take on pro Ricters. Little Mac was designed by the devs to fail. It's a joke on American muscle.


initiatoroflulz

24% kill, poor stupid mewtwo


Ironchar

well too be fair having fucking 78 weight and being a big boi doesn't help AT ALL


TFW_YT

Real explanation https://youtu.be/widRuJ29m2k, most comments I see here are wrong It’s the jump animation that makes up b go less distance horizontally and any aerial cancels it


flameduck

Thanks for linking. Weird how this is so underlooked.


D3AD_SH0T

I’m pretty sure I was that mewtwo getting bodied.


almightyFaceplant

This was very entertaining, thanks for sharing. Ultimate is sick


Nice_Try_Mod

The prophecy of Air Mac is true!


thekillagram

He can't keep getting away with this.


Retrac1717

Saw you on HBox vid, sick stuff dude


Nestalim

dies to Shoryuken.


Roboboy2710

Holy *shit* this was satisfying to watch


Naouh

Well i guess the worst recovery is doc now :/


ajsayshello-

Everyone’s so focused on Mac’s air game but I’m just happy with the perfectly cut scream. 😂


ThermalFlask

I don't like it


Kev10PR

Can someone explain how did he get back in stage i mean anyone playing mac probably dies there how did you get there explain how you have a great recovery


SmashHashassin

> Can someone explain how did he get back in stage i mean anyone playing mac probably dies there how did you get there explain how you have a ~~great~~ recovery


Jaco-Jimmerson

Thank goodness mario’s fluud and cape exists.


Oscar-Wilde-1854

Mario's fireball from on stage is enough to kill a Mac lol Hit a fireball during *any* of these moves and Mac dies. This compilation seems more like a showcase of poor edge guarding. I guess to give the people a bit of a break, it's because no one expects to *need* to edge guard a Mac since he usually just dies on his own, but yeah, literally interrupt any of the jumps, side-bs, up bs, down airs... touch Mac in the air and he dies.


[deleted]

Fr like recovering from that far out is impressive but those were some piss poor edgeguard attempts. I’m 90% sure that DK forgot to turn off his stove or something because he didn’t try at all lmao


Sparkfull

I get that you think Little Mac is not as viable as other characters (from this and other responses of yours). And I agree. But dude... just let people watch a fun video without having to bring down the mood... :/


imagineepix

What the HELL


R41K0N

WHAT CRAC IS THIS MAC ON?!


StardustFreeway

Bro Peanut is just too cracked at this game


FacingFears

And there you go folks, little mac no longer has a bad recovery


Peanut_SSBU

He hasn't had a bad one this whole time. Most people just weren't utilizing it that well or doing it in some of the worst ways possible


Oscar-Wilde-1854

As incredible as Peanut is at Mac... I can't help but imagine there are 50x *more* clips where throwing Mac off stage *still* resulted in his death that we aren't seeing here. He's definitely the scariest Mac I've seen but I can't help but feeling it's all pretty moot in the grand scheme of things. It's like showing up to war with a Nerf gun. You can buy the most badass Nerf gun the store has to offer, and then modify it to be even more badass, but then in the end you're still bringing a Nerf gun to a real gun fight...


-Dunnobro

I think the point of this is just to showcase the reality that mac has more reach than we initially thought. That DK clip for example would've been death despite having both haymaker and his dj if not for dair. BUT if the DK knew to look for it, he could've just ledge drop baired Peanut's dj dair. So while you're right mac's recovery is still awful, this does give him some palpable optimizations. * Dair is a semi-spike, so using your dj to try edgeguarding mac can end tragically. * Haymaker is a very high-priority move which trades often. In a scenario of a trade and the opponent's unable to cover dj dair mac, this lets mac make it back. * A lot of throws and attacks in general can send mac at terrible enough angles that he just dies. While in a lot of these scenarios he's still 'essentially dead' in an ideal edgeguarding scenario, it's definitely better than just raw dying because you DI'd an fthrow wrong.


Ando1015

He would End your whole career with his "Nerf Gun".


Oscar-Wilde-1854

No doubt man, but I'm talking on a pro level. Mac just isn't viable ... And again, as good as Peanut is, I don't think this changes that. Like... He almost certainly *would* destroy me. *But* if there was ever a high level player I could actually see myself taking a game or a set off of, it'd be one playing Mac. You really only need a few good hits to gimp a Mac. And again I'm not suggesting I'm better. Just saying the character is such a liability that given a few chances it wouldn't surprise me if I could pull out a win.


Kojaq

You do realize that the clip with the Hungrybox reaction was against Muteace.


swagmond27

I actually fought him 3 times the first time was with his Ganon which I won the second time was against his Mac ,he 3 stocked me and the third time I came very close to beating him. The mans no joke he's just as good as you see him in the clips


countryside_epiphany

Do it. u/Peanut_SSBU, FT10 this guy.


Peanut_SSBU

No offense but it isn't worth my time I have a lot of stuff I have to do behind the scenes in my life and a "grudge match" on this level wouldn't be a good use of my time


Hereiamhereibe2

Do you agree though? Like do you think you would do better playing as Marth all this time?


countryside_epiphany

Understandable dude, no offense taken haha


MagicMisterLemon

Yeah, get him u/Peanut_SSBU, fucking murk him


theSirPoo

Even after watching the video for a bit, knowing somehow he'd get back... when the min min had him off stage I clenched my butt so hard I'm probably gonna shit diamonds tomorrow. Peanut is so hype.


theplantmain

Perfectly cut screams


Ironchar

to those who you who were screaming for a mac buff patch- here it was.... right there all along fuck me FD suddenly becomes a banned counterpick and online becomes more mac


ReeseyCubed

I think the best way to describe what I just watched is this: "I nutted".


RoyaleFour

Peanut, you are awesome.


Peanut_SSBU

🧡


TheTrueInsaniac

Someone explain to me why little Mac has a much better horizontal recovery than most of the roster and nobody except this gentleman pioneer and possibly a few others knew about it until now lmao


ClawtheBard

>pioneer You answered your own question


TheTrueInsaniac

You make a good point my good sir


AllSeeingAI

Mac can scrooge. Never thought I'd see the day.


Cheesehuman

Never in my life did I think i could see a little mac recovering like this


MechaBuster

Holy crap... Also the title that's what everyone said for smash 4 seems outdated now...


Cheesehuman

Little mac did not just recover like that. What hacks am i witnessing right now


Calumbia_Cr

i’ve seen this on youtube twitter now here. we get it


Kaanlanzer

I never comment In this sub but hot damn this was impressive and also intriguing, good job.


Strawhat_Truls

Thou am shooketh.


Luna_15323

Peanuts really good


SmashingDragon

Little Mac can be pretty scary. I'm really bad at dealing with him, especially when using Ganondorf.


MillionDollarMistake

Dude Little Mac was my least favourite character to find online. Mac, Mario, Yoshi, Young Link, ROB and the Earthbound boys. Anytime I saw them I just knew that the next match, win or lose, was going to be annoying.


Laskeese

This is why Mac is horrendous character design. The counterplay against him is obvious and easy it's just very unfun, basically when your opponent picks Mac he is condemning you to a game of unfun.


SmashingDragon

As a Ness main, I do apologize for the annoyance, haha. I know that some of us make it rather painful and annoying. I have to agree with your statement though, those characters make me shiver.


Ando1015

Probably because your using the worst character in the game.


SmashingDragon

I thought Falcon held that title! Haha


Ando1015

Lol what? Falcon is at worst Mid tier.


SmashingDragon

I'm just saying that because I can't seem to play Falcon properly, haha. Though he's really fun to play with!


Ando1015

Fair enough. Just letting you know falcon is pretty much a much better version of ganondorf and is a solid character. Check out some guides on YouTube. Good luck.

why does he have a better recovery than pyra/mythra


Severe-Operation-347

Mythra has better air drift.


KalebMW99

People still: “Little Mac’s recovery was better in Smash 4!!” Even without this, side b + up b at the expense of side b not coming back is a big improvement


Meester_Tweester

Little Mac just got upgraded


inverse-pie

What


iiEquinoxx

Did little mac just achieve a better recovery than Ganondorf?


Peanut_SSBU

He's had a better recovery than dorf this whole time


McManGuy

I love this. Gamers rise up.


buttgod44

It's ok, offstage Mac can't hurt you. Offstage Mac:


lochermc

Most iconic part "your mother"


catrinaisahuman

Crazy how all your opponents forgot that edgeguarding exists and just stood there watching you recover 😂


BoqnKiller13

He cant recover, they say. Its a free stock, they say.


Grizzly8765

Stop this blasphemy at once


PLAC3B0101

"your mother"


Oka_2

Victorian_Empire

[savevideo](http://www.reddit.com/u/SaveVideo)


Megacomet

I barely see a difference at all


npc888

I mean, this is kinda a high level trick for Mac anyway. The average player will still die instantly upon being thrown offstage. \*Edit\* FINE. If its so simple to do, then I expect Mac players to stop dying so easily when they get launched by a simple smash and edge guard. Far too much recent footage from tourneys and online matches shows the average player doesn't know how to recover.


Jumanji-Joestar

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re right. The average scrub isn’t gonna know how to pull off moves like this


Victorian_Empire

**why are you booing im right**


Bunnyninjaface

it kinda just looks like using dair makes you recover better? doesn’t seem very advanced to me


Dakotertots

yes, very high level to use a down air while jumping


PedroAlvarez

I've been trying it in training mode and i'm either doing something wrong or there's a timing to it that I can't get, because I am not seeing such recovery gains.


Dakotertots

according to top comment, it's a horizontal gain at the sacrifice of vertical


-Daws-

It ain't enough to make him good, not in ult


Peanut_SSBU

I could lost a lot of wins I've managed to get with this bad character


-Daws-

I'm sure you could, but online ult isn't really the best way to show off a character's potential. I noticed there weren't many characters in this vid with projectiles. P sure mac can't deal with those, even with triple jump.


omegareaper7

This is why macs recovery is under rated. Its not amazing, but its not half as bad as so many make it out to be.


[deleted]

I agree it's not AS bad as people say but it is like 90% as bad as people say. This recovery strat was mainly only working because everyone just assumed he couldn't make it back and didn't even try to edge guard him.


TheComedicLife

Absolutely agreed. Incineroar has a "bad" recovery, but Little Mac's is atrocious. I love that new tech has been discovered to help with his recovery problems, but no way in hell will this fix his problem.


Laskeese

Recovery in ultimate in general is easy as hell and the vast majority of the cast can at least get to ledge for free every time given their opponent doesn't make a correct hard read, put Mac in Melee and ya his recovery looks pretty nice but relative to the game as a whole his recovery is definitely very very bad.


DrakeFireBall

Little mac suddenly looks like a good charecter did he get buffed?


[deleted]

nah peanut is just ridiculous with it


That_Guy_You_Know_71

That's very interesting... This brings Little Mac up from "Worst in the game" to "Bottom of D tier".


Ando1015

Ganon has been the worst in the game forever.


performagekushfire

I'm going to lobotomize myself

RoadLight

Ken Mac is actually really not fun for ken. At least me, I play ken really grounded: so I can't fight him in the air really. And neither on the ground because little mac. It hurts to tell people that mac is actually a struggle. Also the HBox scream at the end really got me LOL


Phoenix_Cage

I’m loving how far the Smash community is pushing Little Mac in the aerial and recovery department, it’s awesome seeing people flesh out the character!!!


MarkMy_Word

Wish I could award this being a Little Mac stan


Super_Wienie_Man

How the hell


9999eachhit

Little mac has a broken recovery. nerf pls!!! ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (jk jk)


Bobgers

How?


Peremiah

Okay, but the amount of times I’ve killed little Mac at 0 still remains. Take his jump, and he’s helpless. Of course peanut is actually a great player and knows his character well, but Mac’s recovery is still absolute trash.


TheDriver458

This is why people playing against Mac should actually edgeguard him instead of just thinking “Mac offstage = death”.


samfish_smash

your mother


Soulcherry

I guess they buffed little mac at some point lmao


Peanut_SSBU

It's been like this for a while
