Playing fighters competitively is a constant cycle of practice and study. New discoveries are made on a consistent basis in many games, and that means folks who want to keep up at a high-level will need to continually expand their knowledge of how their favored title operates. Fortunately, others out there do a great job of collecting these findings in easy to digest packages, and we were recently made aware of one such resource for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

In their ‘Tech of the Week’ series, Tourney Locator does an excellent job of providing bite-sized bits of Smash strategy on a regular basis for those interested in the game’s intricacies. Since April, they have released tutorials on concepts like ledge denial, delays, trump jumps, and more.

The latest installment in this series deals with sling shotting, or the act of utilizing a wall jump and a B-reverse to maintain speed and mobility while returning to the stage. This gives the player the ability to reduce their helplessness while trying to regain footing and set up unique opportunities for offense.

Give the video below some of your time if this sounds up your alley, and be sure to visit the full playlist for even more Smash strategy.
