General defence tip: after you get knocked down, blocking is ALWAYS the safest option. When fighting a new opponent, I would always use this as your first 2-3 options on wakeup. This lets you see what kind of blockstrings they do, how often they go for a grab, if they know a safe jump, etc.. Getting hit by a grab is ALWAYS less damage than a full counter hit combo, which is why "take the throw" is such a popular saying. Once you have established where the opponent will try a mixup, reset pressure, etc, you can plan a way to counter it. I prefer using an invincible reversal at these times because it simplifies defence to two things: block or reversal. Add in a fast button you can potentially mash to hit them out of gaps in their pressure and you have a good defensive gameplan. Just remember to play it safe until you get the download.
The Matt scene Makes you actually understand that after that defeat, he decided to hang up the boxing gloves to become a Chambara Champion…an this definitely hits different
Funnily enough, I actually like playing defense, even when I'm not exactly playing zoners. I don't have great combo execution for most games, so being able to block the opponent's entire onslaught is a satisfying enough replacement 😅
I think understanding the risk-reward for each of your defensive options is key to mastering defense. Should I delay-tech on wakeup? If you hold block on wakeup, you're susceptible to being thrown. If you immediately tech on wakeup, you're susceptible to being hit with a meaty. In SFV, you can block the first few frames and then press throw to defend against both options. The payoff is damage mitigation and resetting the situation back to neutral. This can help prevent you from being throw looped in the corner, or slow down their push to the corner, or save your life if you're one hit/throw away from death. However, this opens you up to being shimmy'd - the opponent can expect you to delay tech and whiff punish your attempt for massive damage. If they have full resources, delay-tech can become a fatal defensive option if unsuccessful. It takes an understanding of positioning, resources, player momentum, objectives and win conditions. TL;DR -- Always wakeup DP
There’s also the counter type of parry, where if they hit your counter you take no damage and instead hit them, it feels great whenever you use a counter to successfully get out of a disadvantageous situation, like your checking your opponent predictable and telling them to stop pressing buttons.
Wake up dragon punch is the heart of french fighting game culture, we call it a "pif" wich is a term used to talk about the nose. That attack is called a "pif" because we have an expression wich litteraly translate to "with the nose" meaning trying something randomly, like throwing shit to a wall to see wich ones stick to it.
MK11 breakaway mechanic seems very similar to the burst mechanic, but instead of throw your opponent away and restart the neutral game you just fall to the ground immediatly, making the opponent still have the pression. Technically it's a very interresting mechanic but in some situations you can punish your opponent in the middle of his combo.
Mk11s breakaway is a garbage mechanic imo. Since it allows you to just interrupt their own combo get a bit and start your own. Unlike burst where burst really only resets that rounds momentum while in mk11 it just switches the momentum to the defense side.
Yes, proper defense and movement/positioning is a barrier between low/mid to Higher level gameplay.... This is YET ANOTHER way in which modern devs have made the games "more accessible" to beginners/new gens, by limiting defensive options (See SFV and other games that came out after it specially) so that even the higher level players are as vulnerable as the rest ... and instead encouraging offense (not to mentiond that pressure and offense among characters has become more and more homogenus in modern games, because having multiple options "makes the games hard") which is easier than defending... Great games have a versatile system in which the defensive options can turn the tied and become offensive if properly used, just like SF3 parry as mentioned (Guilty Gear had blitz, perfect blocking changed frame data too... but all of that is "too hard" so the game was made "accessible" for Strive players), Garou perfect block, tekken's evasion/side step, KOF roll cancel and others, which in the end BREEDs players actual interactions
Now me personally, I am a master of the wake-up DP with characters like Akuma and Ken. If only I had that when I matched up against you in Brawlhalla Ranked, haha. As always, this was a beautifully made video, and you're quickly becoming one of my favorite TH-camrs to watch for fighting game content, and in general. I can't think of a single defensive option that you did not cover, to include armor breaks, parrying, and even the unique system that Brawlhalla has. Absolutely love this content, man. Please keep up the good work!!
def surprised you didnt mention the shield in mbtl, since its kind of a unique parry. you can hold it out, but it leaves you open on high/low depends on if your low shield. also the fact you only have 4 followups after a parry: launcher, teleport behind, dashing attack and standing in place. the shield mind games are super fun
i think the only really hard part about defense in fighting games is getting out of it and starting your offence, which gets even harder when you are like me and can't your commands right lol.
I had to learn blocking and defense first since my main friend has been playing Rushdown mixup characters for around a decade and I just started around GGST....he now hates that I can just sit there and wait for him.
Gotta give a shoutout to directional influence (DI) from smash games. Smash probably has the most active gameplay for the defender who is getting comboed. Once the combo starts in most fighting games, the only counterplay is burst or nothing whatsoever.
Theres parry, BUT, theres a scroll out there, hidden in a dark cave, that tells the legend of the forbidden defense, for being too powerful. Its only problem is that no ones good enough to master it: stop mashi-, i mean, red parry....yeah
"Teching" might be a technique to consider. Basically, with good timing, you can break your fall from a softer knockdown. Some (if not many) platform fighters have a rule where you can break your fall on just about any wall or surface if you tech (though it might be different for some games). This can drastically improve your survivability but it's tough to master.
Defense is one of the first things i usually think about when i start playing fgs. I am usually a very passive player, even when i play aggressive characters, so i get pushed into defensive situations very often. My general tip is: if you don't know your opponent, blocking is very safe and useful
One of my favorite defensive mechanics to come out of the past decade is reflect in dragonball fighterz. It's a great evolution of the push block from marvel
The dragon punch clan is the rival of the super armor command grab clan, and their battles are legendary. Or at least would be if they weren't busy punching zoners for the millionth time today.
Tekken players rubbing their hands together seeing another video telling FG newbies to hold down back lmao. Also love the use of Inscryption music to highlight the forbidden nature of wakeup DP at the end.
Always feel like Soul Calibur had really fun defensives. Ducking highs or jumping lows can lead to full combos, giving added value to mids. Sidestep can let you dodge verticals but can get punished by horizontals. Guard impact works as the parry equivalent but always leaves enough room for your opponent to counter guard impact, making it an advantage but not one without counter-play. Reversal edge gets a little maligned as the “noob” trap but it has counter-play too. Auto-counters are also a super flashy way to use certain kits, and there’s nothing more hype than someone auto-countering a super.
Some games have an attack reversal or chicken mechanic where if you time the enemy attack with the counter you deal damage back. Counters and reversals are different however depending on the game, smash being an example. Shotos have wake up shoryu in basically every game they're in whether it be smash or even Tekken but there's also something most fighting games don't have. Chickens, which is essentially a reverse of the reversal. This basically changes the effects of the counter so it's more advantageous to the aggressor. You might deal more damage back, or get put in a more favourable position. Reflecting and absorbing also counts too although these are mainly for projectiles.
Good job mentioning the sword catch in ss2 but jubei actually had a sp parry and could only be used while holding sword and only against weapon attacks and I believe it was more so the inspiration for parry in later games if at all
I do not DP as often as I should in comparison to a lot of people but it has taught me how to block or jump out of certain moves which makes me really dangerous on defense if I do remember that DP does exist.
Or just mash pokes and pray it stop your enemy you can add an overhead spichal move to add salt to injury Thats the true dark side of defense Also in alot of games delaying a wake up is a good defensive style and there's more options for wakups and theres also hyper armor to attacks and stances if you're the crazy guy who's going to learn a 7 stances character and both buffs an debuffs to character and putting traps
part of me innately tends towards slow, defensive play. and then part of it developed as something I loved in starcraft 1+2 as a viewer and player. so now in fighting games, where again I try to learn everything I do find myself with a stronger tendency to hold back, corner myself, be generally more defensive than most of my opponents. It doesn't mean I'm good at it per se, altho I do get a lot of practice at it. But what's been harder for me to drill and keep up on is pressure, not just falling back. without that you will get broken apart, of course, because fighting games don't work like starcraft! lol. Good video as usual!
5:16 Is nobody questioning skull knight modded in tekken 7 ? Is that what he does when guts isn’t endangering himself or running after apostles and/or griffith ?
You're right lmao, I was editing this video late and didn't even realized I used the wrong clip. I did multiple takes and just saw ky dash back and thought I used the right one.
Not realated to the video, but have you tried Yomi Hustle? It's like a regular fighting game but time stops and you can choose moves and you can adjust everything, even di at really specific angles. It's kind of like tool assisted, but as a mechanic, you should check it out
even in Tekken 7 I still struggle to block low attacks, I really need to learn how to do it more consistently so I don't get to lose a lot to my friends that actually know how rarely I would block low attacks
@@typhoonbh I cannot find them. I mean options like delay-tech, delay-jab, shimmy etc.. It'd cool if you can introduce these concepts to newer players.
@@Nnieski Ahh I see what you mean. I could have went deeper into that but i kept it simple (at least for now) since my content is geared towards casual players
Quick note for the Axl players He showed Axl Bomber for the DP section *do not do this* Axl bomber is cool but it has no invinciblity, at least in Strive
It was for the joke but also to me, wake up DP is mostly self explanatory, it's used as a strong "get off me" option but can be very predictable when used often, a lot of newer players have this problem.
Wake Up DP is actual tech, but the problem is that you need to be smart with it. Its essentially like bursting but its infamous because its basically the most aggressive monke thing you can do in most fighting games. You either smart or monke
if you take the defensive options in traditional fighting games then inserting the defensive options in smash would be hard to segway into. tho it would have been cool to throw in how smash also has defensive options which require you to be hit like sdi and regular old di
*”Defense is a good offense.”* I hate when games don’t have much defensive options and focus more on aggression, yeah it’s cool to destroy your opponent but it’s cooler if the opponent comeback or retaliate to punish you. It’s two players fighting not one player beating a player and watching their character die.
This doesn't just apply to fighting games, because good defense requires knowledge of what you're defending against. When formulating a gameplan, defense is going to be second to attacking, because the most straightforward way to win is to aggressively seek out your own win conditions. Stopping your opponents' is harder to do in comparison.

dragon ball fighterz would like to have a word with you...

I am your exact opposite. I have like negative defence except for the odd counter but my offensive pressure and combos are insane
@@almontemcclendon661I'm the same as both of you, I have weak defense; Go full offense but still drops combos
I'm a misinputing machine
I feel you on that one. All my friends find it frustrating to play me because I just play defense and only hit with simple combos.
I think understanding the risk-reward for each of your defensive options is key to mastering defense.
Should I delay-tech on wakeup?
If you hold block on wakeup, you're susceptible to being thrown. If you immediately tech on wakeup, you're susceptible to being hit with a meaty. In SFV, you can block the first few frames and then press throw to defend against both options.

I think that for me personally the hardest skill is decision making, because choosing when to do what can be hard without experience
True, sometimes you're basically guessing what to do next.

This doesn't just apply to fighting games, because good defense requires knowledge of what you're defending against. When formulating a gameplan, defense is going to be second to attacking, because the most straightforward way to win is to aggressively seek out your own win conditions. Stopping your opponents' is harder to do in comparison.
The production value is great but FUCK DEFENSIVE I WANNA FIGHT TO THE DEATH
Sometimes being too aggressive makes you easier to read
