[Smash Bros. SP] What are “Garcan” and “Bekhen”? Essential technical terms for beginners to remember

When you watch an explanation video or a strategy site, do you ever find that there are so many technical terms that you don’t understand?
This time, I will explain 3 basic terms and techniques that you must remember if you are aiming to become a beginner.

1. Gar Can (Guard Cancel)

This is a technique that allows you to instantly counterattack by pressing the attack button while shielding (guarding), eliminating the chance to release the guard.
The basics are “Garcan upper B” and “Garcan grab”. Get into the habit of counterattacking immediately after blocking your opponent’s attack.

2. Vector change (vector change)

This is a technique that reduces the distance you are blown away by tilting the stick in a specific direction when you are blown away.
The basics are “turn inward”. This makes them less likely to be shot down and increases their lifespan.

3. Landing hunt

Aim where your opponent jumps and comes down.
When Smash Bros. is in the air, you can’t block and tend to be defenseless. Predict where your opponent will land and place your attacks.

Summary

First of all, let’s be conscious of “Garcan”. This alone will greatly increase your defense power.
