Punish errant airdodges with the Beefy Smash Doods’ guide to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U frame traps

One thing that makes the Super Smash Bros. series different to traditional fighters is the airdodge. Even if you get hit by a move, you have the opportunity to throw out an airdodge and avoid your opponent’s next attack. It’s not always beneficial to airdodge, as players can exploit its recovery frames for an even harder punish — similar to frame trapping your opponent in a traditional fighter.

In their latest Smash 4 guide, the Beefy Smash Doods run through the finer points of frame-trapping, even showing how a frame trap can actually be better than using a true combo follow-up. By delaying a part of a true combo, you can even condition someone into airdodging, putting them right where you want them for a KO. So be careful with your airdodges! It may be just what your opponent is waiting for.

Daigo Umehara announces Kemonomichi 2 with this teaser trailer

“The Battle of the Beasts has just begun.”

Last month, Daigo Umehara hosted Kemonomichi, a set of exhibition matches with nothing but pride on the line! We got to see Aniken take on Kotaka Shouten in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Ogawa versus Machabo in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, and Ohnuki’s versus Deshiken in Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. (You can check out those matches here!) After the dust settled, we were left wondering if The Beast would host a follow-up event…

And there it is. We don’t know the games or the competitors yet, but some fierce fights will be coming our way on March 10, 2018. Keep an eye on BeasTV and Shoryuken for updates.
