    It's super interesting seeing you played Kage in SFV because I think this mindset around fireballs would change the way you saw that character completely.

    Makes me think of what I've seen about fireballs in Third Strike (probably from Bafael). They have a reputation of being useless in Third Strike due to parries, which negate chip and, more importantly, generate meter for the opponent. Due to parry, you absolutely cannot throw out fireballs the intuitively safe way. What you absolutely can do though is use fireballs as part of footsies, as you learned here; and it isn't because it's harder to react with parry at close range or anything. Rather, it's because fireballs put you in many more frames of "parry stun" than they do block stun while also reducing pushback: this means parrying a close fireball can leave you dealing with a strike/throw mix at the least.

  • @VicMonado
    @VicMonado 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    One cool thing is that this play you noticed from Ken is now even more viable from Ryu. A neat change that happened with the most recent update is that they moved Ryu's fireball hurt box back just that little bit more seeing as you can use an invincible move like Luke OD Uppercut to actually punish them at around whiff punish range. It is now much harder to do it to Ryu, keeping the tradition of him being slightly better at fireballs. I also really relate to that part about Metera needing to be careful about setting up her butterflies. Really reminds me of my challenges of trying to set up and use portals as JP. Fun vid!

  • @bigredradish
    @bigredradish 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +19

    the beginning bit reminds me of how Ryo Sakazaki's been using his "fireball" for pretty much all of his KOF appearances--a big eff-off hurtbox that can advance forward and be used as a very strong poke/not quite as death on block special--and that's always been a very cool bit of his gameplay for me. pity he's one of the top 5 in xv so i can't play him without feeling like a monster but i love when the concept of a fireball is played with like that

I wish I could tell you the version of Accent Core that Ky has a Stun Edge Infinite, but the spacing on that and timing are so tight you'd never believe it.

    Some other interesting applications of fireballs found in Granblue:
    1. Zooey's dragon can be used like a regular fireball, but then afterwards, they can be put in place to then trigger additional fireballs from different positions (including from behind you)
    2. Lowain's fireballs include his bros Tommy and Sammy (who will run at you and then either jump or dive), a flaming wheel of some kind (that will beat other fireballs), his Katapillar summons that can either fire a beam or a bunch of missiles, or just charge at you like a regular fireball, and an entire super that turns the game into a dodge the fireball mini game

    @ananmaysahu4563 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The weird thing is, I'm fairly new to the fgc and using fireballs as a disjointed poke is just how i thought they were supposed to be used. Throwing them at long range to me is basically a moment where I go "I'm going to either run behind this or prepare to snti-air depending on if im in a zoning or pressure mood" and other than that rare (for me, I tend to play shotos with even worse fireballs than ken) situation, fireballs were pretty much exclusively disjointed pokes with big range.

  • @niwona_
    @niwona_ 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Nice video! I wonder if it could also be Xiao Hai's KOF brain using the fireball more as an extension of a normal than true zoning tool. I know the greater objective was to explore projectile conversations as a whole, but I think the premise with SF6 might be a bit misleading because of how they've changed the projectile interaction. In the early match meta, with jumps being floatier and drive rush so prevalent, a lot of the conversation is horizontal. While Ken has strong normals, Cammy does too, and can connect a 2MK into a larger conversion quite easily, so the risk/reward for Xiao Hai to throw out a normal really isn't something to rely on. For the late game, spin knuckle takes on way too much risk, and OD divekick cannot cancel into DR or SA1. Punk was at a life deficit and only had SA1. Even with invincibility in SA1s, unless also a projectile, they explicitly cannot go through any level of projectile. Punk has very fast reactions, so at worst, even at a safe distance he can react to a normal, punish with super, then be at an advantageous state with a closer life situation. With someone that can react to a Dragonlash and could win in the normal war (Cammy also has strong CH buttons), while jumps are not the best (but artificially made strong by inconsistent AAs), along with OD moves not being able to be cancelled into anything under SA2, it really benefits Xiao Hai to control neutral at that range in that situation with a projectile. Or that's how I see it anyway!

    I love a good close range fireball. A good part of this comes from playing Kage where not only were his normal hadokens intentionally designed as close range fireballs, but shakunetsu had a role there as well. After pressing stmk, shakunetsu would shrink Kage's hurtbox so that if they pressed a button in response to contest space, they'd get knocked down. I really actually liked that about SFV in general that most of the shotos had normals that were a little stubby, where they were meant to compensate for that range with fireballs. It made for enjoyable gameplay so long as you weren't staring down something like Rog VS1.

    Man, I know your experience is with the newer SF games and Granblue but there are so many interesting fireballs you missed out on. KOF and SNK games in general are absolutely rife with insane fireballs shoutouts to Ryo and Robert for having the absolute GOAT version of a short fireball and Terry for the classic short range power wave. Samurai Showdown has Genjuro's weirdo ricocheting fireball that seems to be the inspiration for Anji's butterflies in XX. UNI's got both Hilda and Carmine, Carmine being kind of like a projectile version of ZATO=1/Eddie and seems like the inspiration for Belial's projectiles, (though maybe that's a little bit more of Warachia from Melty). My favourite weird fireball has gotta be F Powered Ciel's rock, you pick up a chunk of rock out of the ground then you can choose to kick it forward as a huge projectile, it's usable in a ton of different ways, most commonly as a setup on your opponent's knockdown.

    in sf6, the inherent danger of fireball up close is the perfect parry punish. look at tokidos matches against luke players in the lcq. although i will say, im goin to use fireballl more like this until my opponent proves they can deal with it. throwing out a hitbox without the possibility of a whiff punish? yea, thats a dope vid

    Great analysis on intricate fireball mechanics! One I appreciate is AC+R Millia Rage's Secret Garden. It's very slow, not something to do safely at midscreen, but as a callout or for oki, it feels great to execute with it since you input each direction the orb will move _in startup_. Sort of like that red scythe fireball you showed in the video, but as a read.
    My favorite: Venom's pool balls. Very, very fun to play, watch, and fight against. He positions intangible pool balls with a variety of positioning options. He can hit them at different angles, speeds, and with different properties. He can teleport to them too! Leading to jazz like normal>sweep>poolball set, airdash crossup poolball set, land, normal, shoot a pool ball, teleport to a poolball, hit another poolball, chase.. Venom plays Chess

    funnily enough strive bedman's pin thing and subsequent error are both his zoning tool and his main way to get out of a punishable combo if the opponent's blocking--for instance, c.S > 2S > 2H > 236S is one of his go to, BnB combos but 236S is super punishable if blocked so a lot of times players will disengage with 236P (his pin / projectile) to push the opponent back

    While Anre may be a winner in a fireball game by default; his lazor still have weaknesses. Like, decently slow startup, no vertical cover, only 2 variants of timing is kind of stiff. (I felt that) U version burns meter, but exists to cover for all weaknesses.
    What I was forgetting before watching high level replays - is that he's got traditional fireball in L follow up from twirl. And it's as good as any traditional fireball.
    If SF6 had replay takeover - I would make sure I can't just punish those close fireballs with just Cammy cr.HK, idk. I'm watching and thinking: it does look insanely sketchy.

    Fireball characters are very fun to play for me. But I prefer to avoid them unless they are considered low tier like Rock Howard in Garou or Gongsun Li in samurai showdown. But for the most part I avoid them if they are accompanied with a anti air. It's pretty much impossible to jump in on me if I have such a character and that's why I avoid those characters. I really enjoy playing a character that only has an air counter without the fireball like Wan Fu in samurai showdown and is considered low tier like Wan Fu, or I like to play a character that has a fireball with out the anti air Like Chun Li before she was given both an anti air and a fireball. But I get the most fun when I play a character who is considered low tier with neither against a character with both. It's the only way I can get a challenge since like I said it's pretty much impossible to jump in on me if I can anti air you. That's no fun. My main strategy is to fireball from very close range like this player and punish jump ins and I'm very expert at it to the point I get bored. I can throw projectiles with out worry of being punished from that range since I am able to cancel a projectile for a anti air at will once I see a jump in. I'd probably be banned in tournaments I'm that proficient. Close fireballs are very effective if you know what you are doing. It's a powerful strategy.

    Why not just drive impact if your opponent uses fireballs at melee range ? If you're expecting it it should be easy enough to react to, and it shouldn't leave enough recovery for the opponent to DI themselves

      Because close range fireballs are mostly unreactable.
      For example Ryu's HP fireball is 12 frames that start up well past the max human reaction. At longer distances the travel time makes it reactable but at close range you are getting hit by it if you are trying to react as it travels too fast.
      DI on prediction is very high risk as if you guess wrong your opponent is gonna DI back hit you for a bunch of damage and drain your drive gauge which is bad because drive gauge management is often difficult at high level.
      In short DI against close range fireballs at high level is a high risk. Truth is if you are gonna try to predict the fireball with a risky play you are probably better off jumping since a anti-air in most cases is less damaging then getting counter DI.
      So while it is an option, perfect parry or trying to counter poke the start up of a fireball animation is generally safer

    looking back at the punk clip im realizing fireball clashes at that range look REALLY good for ken, especially with the life lead he had
