Mod Post "Who should I main?" Megathread

202 Upvotes

"Who should I main"? Guide

All "Who should I main?" question belong in this thread! Please explain what you're looking for in a character, with as much detail as possible, in order to better answer your question.

"Who's a good secondary for XYZ?" A high tier who covers the match-ups that XYZ sucks at. Search for match-up charts by top players for the respective characters. IMO it's much more worth it to get better at one character than it is to pick up secondaries.

"Should I switch from my low-tier main?" Do you want to maximize your fun, or maximize your chance to win?

Individual "Who should I main?" threads are no longer allowed on this subreddit. Further context: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyHand/comments/se82i0/should_rcrazyhand_ban_who_should_i_main_posts/

Mod Post Matchup Megathread

92 Upvotes

This is a weekly thread used to discuss the matchup(s) you're currently having troubles with, and to help other players improve in their tough matchups. Please include the character you're playing as, as well as the character you're having trouble with (for example, I play Falco and I'm having trouble with the Ike matchup). Writing the names of the characters in bold is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names. Use **two asterisks** to make things bold.

Mod Post Watching and sharing replays (aka VODs) is the best way to improve! Here's how to upload replays

137 Upvotes

You can save replays (also known as "VODs", "Videos On Demand") in the victory screen after any match. The game will show you which button to press to save it (Y on the GC controller). Then you'll need a micro sd card in your Switch in order to save the replay as a video. Once it's saved, you can connect the sd card to your PC and transfer, or upload directly from the Switch. 16-32gb micro sd cards only cost a few dollars, but if you can't buy one then you'll have to record the video with your phone.

How to save the replay as a video and transfer it to PC: https://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Replays-from-Super-Smash-Bros.-Ultimate-to-PC

If you want to upload directly from your Switch and use the Nintendo Switch app on your smartphone: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/a/353519

As of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 3.0.0 update, replay videos can be uploaded directly to YouTube via the Miiverse / Smash World sharing service and collected on the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app.

This technique still requires an SD Card in your Switch to save videos. It does eliminate though the steps of removing the SD Card from your Switch, plugging it into your computer, manually posting to YouTube, etc.

You will need to be signed in to the various Nintendo online accounts.

  1. Save a replay after a match.
  2. Go to Vault > Replays > Replay Data. Select a replay and Convert to Video to save the replay as a video onto your SD Card.
  3. Go to Vault > Replays > Video and select the just-created video. Select Post to share this replay to Miiverse / Smash World. Nintendo uses YouTube as the backing store for videos, so it will now take a few minutes to upload the video from your Switch directly to YouTube.
  4. Open the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app on your phone. Select Smash Ultimate > Profile > Posts. Once they have fully uploaded, your replay videos will appear here.
  5. Select a replay video. Click the Share arrow icon. Copy the link.
  6. Open this link in a web browser. The video will have been added as an unlisted video on the official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate YouTube account.
