Guide! What makes a character top tier?

Guide! What makes a character top tier?

This guide focuses on learning FUNDAMENTAL weaknesses and strenghts of characters in Smash that apply across the board and across every smash game. The examples are focused on Smash 4 however :). I break down Neutral Game, Juggle Game, and Offstage Game, as part of a package that creates character matchups! Also hope you enjoy the footage and music as well!


Most of you may not know of me especially if you are newschool (Smash 4 Generation). My name's Lade, I was formerly known as RedHalberd, Fresh Die Nasty, and Holidaze. As RedHalberd I was the 2nd ranked Brawl player in Florida for several years. I was also the best Melee and Smash 64 player in my city, and I was 2nd in Umvc3 for a while as well. When Smash 4 came out I went under the tag Fresh Die Nasty for a while but eventually stopped competing due to work and health issues.

Anyway, I don't play the game as hardcore as I used to, but one thing I do try to do my best at is helping new players and making sure that my region continues to grow. Generally I give out advice in person but I recently decided to take my youtube channel more seriously. I'm going to release tutorial videos on various aspects of Smash regularly. I'm relatively unknown in the Smash 4 scene but I hope you will come to trust me as a reliable source of information regarding matchups, game mechanics, and smarts game. This is my first video that I've decided to go all out with the production so I hope you guys like it.

Please let me know things you like and dislike so I can further cater videos to the audience of newer Smash players. I believe I have a lot I can offer if you would like to give me a chance. Thank you in advance :)
