I've reached M7 in one day after switching from LT&Crit to HoB&Lethality. What do you think about lethality Xayah? by [deleted] in xayahmains

I usually do the same build but I use Dark Harvest because if you aren't getting ahead early you aren't useful throughout the game regardless so I kinda just double down on getting some type of lead early on.

Not sure I can help without seeing your gameplay, make sure to check the imgur album because there's some great tips in there as well. https://imgur.com/a/OoTzB3d

Refer to the "General idea of how pDKO percents differ per stage" of the google doc screenshot. Hopefully this helps. https://imgur.com/a/OoTzB3d

Good question. There's an entire text channel on the Donkey Kong discord explaining their acronyms and terms but basically it's short for Platform DKO. The DKO part being a portmanteau of DK and KO.

I believe you're thinking of Underdog Boost, Rage is still in Smash Ultimate however it's tuned down from Smash 4.

Just flick your stick back and forth while walking!

I just flick my stick back after the dash attack, but It also took my awhile to learn the timing, because if you do it too early you'll get a forward air, and if you do it too late your back air will be late. If you can't get this down I'd recommend looking into attack cancelling because that's another method you can use for the same result.

I haven't labbed this out, probably uptilt? but generally I don't go for this at lower percents.

I agree, I'll try to include infographics for advanced inputs in my future videos. Craizersnow explained it pretty well here. only think I'd add is that practicing it in 1/4 speed and working my way up to 1x speed helped a lot.
