The part about not playing for other's validation is so real. I had to learn this lesson the hard way but I started enjoying fighting games so much more once I adopted this mindset.
This is an interesting take. No shade here. I'm getting old if I ask this question but who would be giving you validation. Do you play with friends or splitscreen? I just play online random matches and try not to suck which I'm failing at lol. Then I yell at myself xD
@@dquinn9482 I've been in FGC discord servers where people have constantly given me shit because they didn't like the character I play. Sometimes it's just jokes but many other times people were being dead serious. I've straight up had people say they don't even want to play me because of my character. Not to mention all the hate mail I've gotten recently while playing SF6 before I disabled my DMs on PSN. I've never been to my local but I wouldn't be surprised if similar things happen there too. I even had a whole arc where I tired to pick characters solely just to please the people in the servers I was in but I just ended up being miserable because I was forcing myself to play characters I have no interest in. It made me realize that in the end it's not worth it and i just went back to playing what I like.
@@gameclips5734 give them some time man, relax 😂 I played fighting games casually for years before I ever bothered to learn frame data or practice combos outside of the easy ones on eventhubs lmao
@15:45 kinda blew my mind to be honest. I had not thought of it that way and I think that'll be a big help for me! Thanks for the conceptualization, @Brian_F !
Player 1 : "Ok I'm in neutral I can use this move to poke safely and maybe get a combo, I can try and dash in quick for maybe jab pressure or I can stay safe, wait for a big move to DI, in any case I gotta be careful and not overex-" Player 2 : *D R I V E R U S H*
@10:00 this is kinda JP specific where you can't cancel OD Fireball or OD Command grab into Level 2. His Level 2 makes it so that you can't use Fireball or Command grab when it's out -- trying to cancel into the Level 2 through these moves has the game see it as there being a Fireball/Command Grab on the screen at the same time as the level 2, so the input just gets ignored.
If I could I would give you all the bagles in the world. Ive been looking for a way to deal with those annoying cross ups and that helped me so much. I love you, thanks
For the "falling" out of combos portion, it could be the person failed to realize they were doing CH/PCH combos but wasn't getting those type of conversions in match. The extra +2/+4 hitstun makes for massively different combo routes.
Thank you for addressing the Modern vs Classic controls. Some people I know have been pushing me to switch to Classic despite me being absolutely new to Street Fighter. Saying things like “You’re still using modern?” And “I would have been more impressed if it was classic.” I understand where it comes from but it still stung a little. Felt like any sense of achievement I had was sucked out and voided. I had initially given up on fighting games 7 years ago (after I tried SFV for a while) but seeing how they brought Modern controls to the table I decided to give it another go; I now enjoy the game a ton. I can’t wait to improve more. I’ll try not to let these comments dictate my mindset. After all, what you said holds a lot of truth.
Yeah just play your game, some people like to think themselves elitist for playing on classic but ultimately it doesn't matter you play the way you have fun, it makes no sense to play in a way that makes you miserable. I understand that each has it's advantages but really what matters is what you enjoy, have you seen some of the most absurd controllers, on other fighting games people play them using more than 20 buttons on it with the singular purpose of doing specific moves with just sweeping their fingers in the line of buttons from left to right. The point is there are a lot of ways to experience and play fighting games if you find one that you like and feel comfortable with should be enough to play, regardless of what other players play with or say. Hate the game, not the playa. Also they hate us, cause they ain us.
A ton of FG people out there, especially the old guard, are super precious about motions, 6 buttons, links and other stuff. To them, that is Street Fighter and nothing will ever change their mind. They have forgotten that at some point they were talking smack about other highly regarded Capcom fighting games that had different control schemes (I believe MvC2 was initially seen as a scrub game because of magic series). I have been into this genre since SF2 and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that Modern is a massive boon for SF6. I've had plenty of solid matches with people in Battle Hub who were clearly new but the fact that they were on Modern allowed them to learn on the fly instead of getting completely steamrolled by someone with more experience. So keep at it and like Brian said, don't bother with haters. At the end of the day, it's the same game and we're all playing under the same rules. Winning and losing is all down to our individual skill and where we're at in our journey.
I been playing on modern controls and i enjoy playing cammy lily chun li manon etc i will say modern even with half damage you have advantage with the reaction time and special moves i am in gold rn with cammy even my friends who are on classic say dont mind heck they even told me i am great player even tho i am on modern they even say i can be in higher ranks of SF6
Don’t listen to those people. I’m a Classic player myself but I do not understand this condescending attitude towards Modern players. Modern controls are more accessible to a bigger audience and that’s awesome. FGs are a very info rich genre, very technical, and Modern makes only one aspect of them slightly easier and that’s a win to me.
For WhildKhan's question, he was referring to his combos being interrupted while the opponent is BLOCKING. What he needs to know is that the frame data is not the same for opponents being hit and opponents who are blocking. What he needed to know about was TRUE BLOCKSTRINGS in SF6.
Do Modern autocombos continue on block? He might be conflating a "combo" (which is inherently not blocked) and an "assisted combo" on Modern which can happen while the opponent blocks.
That drive parry thing is crazy. I never knew the bad version existed because I only knew how to do the perfect version. I assumed the only way anyone could do it was buffer the dash.
I feel another thing worth noting is that if you're struggling against a character's strong suit, looking for a one-size-fits-all solution might not even be possible. It's important to recognize that at some points you just have to look for mitigation, and that, in certain situations, you're just straight up screwed. Characters, especially higher tiered ones, have their strong points where there advantage is just so great the best you can do really is to just try to survive and get back to equal footing as opposed to looking for your opportunity to win outright. There are uphill battles my friends. When your opponent has crazy momentum, then they have crazy momentum. It's all the same as if you were dishing it out, only you're on the receiving end. And it's in these general situations where, again, mitigation is your goal. "What can I do in the moment?" and "What could I have done differently beforehand?" are great things to ask after the fact, so that next time you'll be a little more equipped. Hope this helps. 👍
It is worth noting if you drive reversal Lily's EX condor : You can perform drive reversal whilst performing a parry, if you block the condor. Depending on what hit you reversal you will lose up to 3 bars of drive gauge. If you parry her hits and then drive reversal you'll actually lose less.
7:20 the way this question was worded also makes me think the person asking is getting combos and blockstrings confused. Moves usually deal less blockstun than hitstun, so if your opponent blocks a move they recover faster and may have time to slip a fast attack in the gap before your next hit, whereas on hit even if its not a true combo such as from overheads, the gap may be too small to attack through, or outright nonexistent for true combos
For #7 about linking/timing, the training mode also has two extra settings to help with this: one that gives you a color when a move can have their animations cancelled into other moves (or into Drive Impact); and another very nice option that shows the specific timing for when whatever you're doing can actually be done. The timing bar is a definite answer for "was it too late or too early" - it even marks the entire buffer window. The first one will mark you as red while you can cancel into stuff and mark you as blue when it's too late and you got committed into the rest of the animation.
Blue color is actually for when something is super cancelable. This is how I figured out I can cancel Deejay's machine gun uppercut into lvl 3 or lvl 2. However you cant cancel into lvl 1, probably cuz ut wouldn't hit anyways cuz mguc sends people up while lvl 1 hits close to to ground
It’s pretty cool seeing names I recognize from other communities looking to the boy brine to get into sf6. LL like brine mentioned and the dude havok from the for honor community are a couple people that have me like that one Leo DiCaprio meme
Ah! Thats so true for the 2lp chai block into crosscut. I went to Guile because I was fed up of that thing getting me. Glad you explained it here. A friend also pointed to me that Guile has a air throw, which is great for those. Good video, thanks!
Yeah, to the interrupting combo thing. I had it happen to me the other day. I was doing Marisa's MP > MP > Gladius and I couldn't figure out how my opponent did like a EXDP between the MP and the gladius until I realized I was accidentally doing HP Gladius which didn't combo. Went back to doing MP or EX Gladius and they're airtight again. That was just my bad. It could be that guy is doing something similar and not realizing it.
Brian! Thank you for providing such phenomenal instructional videos... I feel like you are literally the only one who really understands how to explain the game for someone who is completely new. I think what happens is a lot of experts forget the foundational knowledge they have and they assume so much and their explanations but you don't do that at all. Thank you brother! Also you arre quite the philosopher. :)
This was a pretty insightful video, especially the last segment, I personally dont play many fighting games but SF has always been a cool game that I have dabbled with every now and then. I currently play modern with Ken and I stick to casual. Sure I played the 10 placement ranked matches but havent touched ranked much since. I personally just want to have fun and casual mode is the place for that (for me at least) win or lose. Especially because I have beat a couple platinum players who happen to be in casual, (even if only once) so that was hype 😄
6:15 should also have explained because they're new- combos aren't effectively guaranteed like other games. the input leniency isn't there in street fighter like it is in games like MK or whatever. you have to be precise with when you press your buttons. it's definitely easier than games like 3rd strike in terms of leniency but yeah, this person seems to think "combo" is any sequence of loosely pressed buttons that gives you a true string, like a target combo.
I knew something was up with Drive Rush because there were combo trials where you have to DR raw but even at my quickest, I couldn't hit the combo. I turned on the input history and watched the replay to see what they were doing differently to me and what do you know, they were doing the 1 bar version of DR. So thankful they included that option.
To the DR one: If you're a low/mid lvl player, use cancellable moves and look out for DR in neutral if the guy uses it a lot. If you're at high lvl the guy will start to use that against u, but I imagine high lvl players don't tend to DR in neutral a lot
Brian you seem old enough but the way you held up "3" at 3:37 reminds me of the Inglorious Bastard scene where the guy holds up three the American way and not the german way
Funny watching this after 2 months. Drive reversal used to be something I rarely saw, and never used, now I am seeing it a lot more. It can get you out of mixup situations. For example, if Ken is giving you grief with his dragon lash or jinrai kicks, you can simply drive reversal as soon as you block the first hit, or any hit, and get him off you. It costs meter but it may be better than blocking if you are at risk of losing the round, drive meter comes back if you die so better to use it trying to survive than "save" it if you are probably going to die anyway. I still never use it though, need to start honestly it can be clutch.
That section on close jumps hits home I find Ryu's jumps incredibly tough to deal with up close. Lily's anti air doesn't have enough of a hitbox above her to keep him under control. I just played an impromptu first to 10 in battle hub and it came down to the last round. Those close jumps and drive impacts made it incredibly difficult to get any wind stocks to start any pressure of my own.
In this case you're encouraged to use crouching HP, I forgot where I saw it but it has a big hitbox at the high point so it can scoop people that dp couldn't. Try that in training and see if it works
@@cyanide167 Crouching heavy punch gets stuffed by a lot if jump ins it needs more active frames to be reliable. I still use it more than DP but it's significantly worse than Juri and JP's crouching heavy punches.
[Edit: I should have kept watching the video.] I'm pretty sure Wildkhan said combo but meant blockstring. He talked about people attacking him out of block.
When dealing with 2 LP 2LP into a cross up, I would think a standing normal attack after the 2nd 2LP should hit them on the way up. This would work if they're always jumping after the same amount of light attacks I think. The crouching light attacks are negative on block.
With the cross-up thing, they just keep doing it, because the risk-reward is so in their favour if they hit me. If I mess up once every 5 times, they win out. It's stupid and tedious, especially when you consider you can't devoate all your mental energy to countering cross-up spam.
I’ve been struggling controlling button mashing and meter use with modern. Modern makes characters easier for me to have fun with, but harder to actually learn b/c one input has multiple outputs.
ok this is minor and also rly dumb but at like 19:30 or something like that when he restarts training i notice it just zips back to the middle of the screen instead of just jumping back to the middle or doing a slight fadeaway and i’ve noticed that other people’s training does the same thing so how do you enable this? rly small detail but kinda cool transition so i wanna know if that’s smth i just have to enable lol
Late reply but just realized what you mean. I think he's using the save/load state feature and not the reset match button. It's something covered in the "how to use training mode" video iirc.
Be careful on drive reversal on Lily. Depending on the level used and distance, she can actually still have time to block and punish your attempt to reversal.
Along the same lines of the question about how to do cancels and combos and things, what are some tips of how to clean up your inputs? For example, I play Marisa and find myself often getting Gladius when I want Phalanx and vice versa and I also find myself getting lvl 1 instead of Gladius in some situations like after doing a 4HP.
If you want a quarter circle forward after moving towards your opponent, what you can do is do a half circle forward. This prevents the initial movement forward from counting towards your motion, thus giving you a quarter circle rather than a dp. Hope this helps
I would rather Drive Reversal NOT be "good".. If it cost less, or if it was safer to throw out, you'd see people doing it every time someone touches their block. It's in a perfect space for what it does right now.
To be honest, I already do this. Most players don't know how to deal with drive reversal so I do it whenever I'm pressured (and I even get a windclad stock out of it). It can be read and blocked though.
6:22 is this guy talking about doing a combo on block? Maybe he thinks he can just do the combos but doesn’t know that you need block stings for when the opponent is blocking
Hey Brian_F or any one its my Frist time playing street fighter at all i just got it recent ok these are my questions are 1.what character should i play and who is beginner friendly. 2.classic or modren controls 3.what characters would you like to see again my would be cody laura rose poison dan adon juni menat falke
The real question is when I drive rush why can some characters do 2 heavy attacks, a drive rush and still counter DI. When i press 1 heavy on a DI I dont have time to counter
Bro if you could please explain the timing for lukes corner air combo 🙏 i can do every single other thing with luke i even randomly found a side switch combo with him while labbing but for the life of me i cannot consistently land his corner air combo
something new players wont know not explained in video is chained normals lose special move cancelable property. so chain needs to combo to a linked normal to allow cancelable property. 2nd from chat - showing m or c allows players gameplan to change. examples - guile upside down kick hits people throw teching. so on c need to think about that. on m guile doesnt have upside kick. throw teching is safer. gief command grab light has further range on c but m nonly has medium options. so against m giefs certain ranges are safe that are not on c. lastly jp the spike hits full screen only on m so mid screen is safe for jumping into from full scrren. c jp can medium spike to punish jump.
Chained lights don't lose special move cancelable property in this game; that is a SFIV thing I believe. If you're referring to target combos, that is technically true, but those aren't actually "normals," they are considered to be unique attacks in the move lists.
Late answer but back before the patch i had to press forward forward right away the moment i pressed my button. Now due to the new change its much easier. Pressing MP+MK now activates DR when canceling from normals. Its now up to you if you wanna map MP+MK
I would love to be answered by anyone here. Has anyone experienced like 4 mixup opportunities of the opponent you guessed right and try to wake up ex dp, but then out of those 4 consecutive situations, the ex dp just gets beaten by meaties for some reason even tho im already mashing. But when the ex dp comes out, thats when they block. Its really discouraging and it happens a lot. Am I doing anything wrong? The meaties are usually light attacks. Im currently 20k points with Ken.
If you're sure they're EX (because regular DP is not invincible to meaties!), try inputting them earlier. Sounds like you're pressing the button late, which means you're pressing forward while you wake up.
@@BrainGeniusEditor there were times I want to input early but drops it. Yes im sure its ex. Its frustratng to the point I want to suspect its because of the network or it felt like im cheated. I always play on 4 bars too.
Thank you so much Mr Brian F. I have been looking for some answers on my own about Manon. You answered them all. I might just hit Diamond 💎 now. Plat 1 right now lol😂
If you want to go from modern to classic controls but struggle with 6 buttons and not motion input. I would actually recomend playing Dhalsim. Hear me out. Sim doesn't really do combo's. the only real combo you do is jab-jab-yoga fire to knock them down and gain space. Instead you are using big buttons and specials to zone. Which means you will be able to focus on just hitting HP, or Hk->heavy fireball. Making you learn where those buttons are and the basics of cancelling into special moves.
27:46 "Playing for the validation of others is always a losing matchup" ❤
I don't mind Modern controls but ffs
The "auto combo" feature is so bs
2:04 chatter had insane timing 💀
I saw that too 😂😂😂
If you have the cancel display option on in the training mode, your character will flash blue on specials they can super cancel out of.
Yeah, so many people sleeping on this option and it helps so much
thank you I was trying to figure our what blue meant
Is this a separate option from the cancel window display? I have that turned on but must have missed this option
@@bootywarrior6845Yea it is
not blue, red.... moves that flash red are cancelable.

I turned on the input history and watched the replay to see what they were doing differently to me and what do you know, they were doing the 1 bar version of DR. So thankful they included that option.
To the DR one: If you're a low/mid lvl player, use cancellable moves and look out for DR in neutral if the guy uses it a lot.
If you're at high lvl the guy will start to use that against u, but I imagine high lvl players don't tend to DR in neutral a lot
4:00
this is a great example of how many situations really just come down to RPS lol
When people jab twice and then jump over me, I usually dash away from them. I didn't think to air-to-air
16:00 I guess best way to learn that is to use down medium kick into hadouken with Ryu in SF5 ?
Brian you seem old enough but the way you held up "3" at 3:37 reminds me of the Inglorious Bastard scene where the guy holds up three the American way and not the german way
Funny watching this after 2 months. Drive reversal used to be something I rarely saw, and never used, now I am seeing it a lot more. It can get you out of mixup situations. For example, if Ken is giving you grief with his dragon lash or jinrai kicks, you can simply drive reversal as soon as you block the first hit, or any hit, and get him off you. It costs meter but it may be better than blocking if you are at risk of losing the round, drive meter comes back if you die so better to use it trying to survive than "save" it if you are probably going to die anyway. I still never use it though, need to start honestly it can be clutch.
He's one of the good ones, our Brian
That section on close jumps hits home I find Ryu's jumps incredibly tough to deal with up close. Lily's anti air doesn't have enough of a hitbox above her to keep him under control.
I just played an impromptu first to 10 in battle hub and it came down to the last round. Those close jumps and drive impacts made it incredibly difficult to get any wind stocks to start any pressure of my own.
In this case you're encouraged to use crouching HP, I forgot where I saw it but it has a big hitbox at the high point so it can scoop people that dp couldn't. Try that in training and see if it works
@@cyanide167 Crouching heavy punch gets stuffed by a lot if jump ins it needs more active frames to be reliable. I still use it more than DP but it's significantly worse than Juri and JP's crouching heavy punches.
These videos are extremely helpful, thank you!
I really like drive reversal as Jamie as a way to get a drink if your opponent is really on top of you denying drinks
For the jab jab jump irs also a good idea to remember you have parry.😊
great video look forward to more of these
Brian-sama🔥!!! We love your content so much we built a shrine. We call it Shrian F
2:10 JP shoes lowkey clean af 😂
Drive reversal also breaks the armor for drive impact
[Edit: I should have kept watching the video.]
I'm pretty sure Wildkhan said combo but meant blockstring. He talked about people attacking him out of block.
Modern Gief has a really easy to understand gameplan with a fairly interesting depth with meter management. Mix with some real 360s it's quite scary.
When dealing with 2 LP 2LP into a cross up, I would think a standing normal attack after the 2nd 2LP should hit them on the way up. This would work if they're always jumping after the same amount of light attacks I think. The crouching light attacks are negative on block.
28:38 never play for people you don’t know or do know. Do what’s best for YOU!
10/10 content. 🤘🦖
A welcome Brain_F appearance
It's super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Brian you should think about becoming a teacher for SFV and SF6 . I would pay for lessons from you. To get that hands on training would be priceless
Oh hey that’s me!
Also thank you SO much for the perfect Drive Rush explanation Brine
Maybe wild Kahn is talking about block strings with drive reversal.
Great answer to the Modern question
Damn, I cant hit the like button more than once
That bit in the end about haters is 100% gospel
Is this the guacamelee ost? 19:45
hell ya
@@BrainGeniusEditorgoated ass game
Its funny how at the canceling part ken is just an exception when run cancel dragon lash exists
With the cross-up thing, they just keep doing it, because the risk-reward is so in their favour if they hit me. If I mess up once every 5 times, they win out. It's stupid and tedious, especially when you consider you can't devoate all your mental energy to countering cross-up spam.
I dont even play this game but videos are so entertaining lmao
The Kimberly elbow drop was probably more the crossup mix
What's the song in the background, around the 2:00 minute mark onwards. I can hear it, but I can't figure it out. Anyone know?
Fete Foraine - SF6
Awesome vid!
27:37 looking for external validation from others is always a losing battle 29:29
You can actually turn on the options to see which moves can be cancelled for Super. The training system makes things very obvious.
never thought Id see a Brian_F x Havok crossover lol
So true can’t wait to have my world tour questions answered
🗿🫡
Jojo loves crouching light kick
Love the Guacamelee OST in the BGM.
Would you happen to know the song playing at the 2 minute mark?
@@malakaai9744No, but I can tell you it's not a Guacamelee song.
Just stumbled upon your channel recently. Your channel is fantastic, keep up the awesome content 👍
I’ve been struggling controlling button mashing and meter use with modern. Modern makes characters easier for me to have fun with, but harder to actually learn b/c one input has multiple outputs.
Try classic controls, gonna take away confusion with multiple outcomes with 1 button..and in turn eliminate the need to mash buttons.
ok this is minor and also rly dumb but at like 19:30 or something like that when he restarts training i notice it just zips back to the middle of the screen instead of just jumping back to the middle or doing a slight fadeaway and i’ve noticed that other people’s training does the same thing so how do you enable this? rly small detail but kinda cool transition so i wanna know if that’s smth i just have to enable lol
Late reply but just realized what you mean. I think he's using the save/load state feature and not the reset match button. It's something covered in the "how to use training mode" video iirc.
@@BrainGeniusAcademy ooooo okie ty i’ll have to check that out
Nago mains low-key eating with the whole OD system.
We've been playing this game since Strive dropped.
Be careful on drive reversal on Lily. Depending on the level used and distance, she can actually still have time to block and punish your attempt to reversal.
Thank you.
Along the same lines of the question about how to do cancels and combos and things, what are some tips of how to clean up your inputs? For example, I play Marisa and find myself often getting Gladius when I want Phalanx and vice versa and I also find myself getting lvl 1 instead of Gladius in some situations like after doing a 4HP.
If you want a quarter circle forward after moving towards your opponent, what you can do is do a half circle forward. This prevents the initial movement forward from counting towards your motion, thus giving you a quarter circle rather than a dp. Hope this helps
@@i.ftekhar that does sound useful, thank you!
@@ramiel5628 also important to note the game currently has some issues with its input reading so don't be too surprised when you get weird inputs
@@blinx_x9925 ohh that's right I do remember hearing that
Brian is like the john bartholomew of street fighter.
6:15 pretty much how I feel everyday.
I would rather Drive Reversal NOT be "good".. If it cost less, or if it was safer to throw out, you'd see people doing it every time someone touches their block.
It's in a perfect space for what it does right now.
To be honest, I already do this. Most players don't know how to deal with drive reversal so I do it whenever I'm pressured (and I even get a windclad stock out of it). It can be read and blocked though.
Good tips!
Greatest revelation of this whole vid is that Brian's dog's name is Jojo. My dog's nickname is Dio.... Life is a Jojo reference. Confirmed.
6:22 is this guy talking about doing a combo on block? Maybe he thinks he can just do the combos but doesn’t know that you need block stings for when the opponent is blocking
Hey Brian_F or any one its my Frist time playing street fighter at all i just got it recent
ok these are my questions are
1.what character should i play and who is beginner friendly.
2.classic or modren controls
3.what characters would you like to see again my would be cody laura rose poison dan adon juni menat falke
I actually really liked your answer regarding Modern controls because it applies to so many other aspects of life.
The real question is when I drive rush why can some characters do 2 heavy attacks, a drive rush and still counter DI. When i press 1 heavy on a DI I dont have time to counter
I’m about to bagoosh all over the place
Bro if you could please explain the timing for lukes corner air combo 🙏 i can do every single other thing with luke i even randomly found a side switch combo with him while labbing but for the life of me i cannot consistently land his corner air combo
something new players wont know not explained in video is chained normals lose special move cancelable property. so chain needs to combo to a linked normal to allow cancelable property.
2nd from chat - showing m or c allows players gameplan to change. examples - guile upside down kick hits people throw teching. so on c need to think about that. on m guile doesnt have upside kick. throw teching is safer.
gief command grab light has further range on c but m nonly has medium options. so against m giefs certain ranges are safe that are not on c.
lastly jp the spike hits full screen only on m so mid screen is safe for jumping into from full scrren. c jp can medium spike to punish jump.
Chained lights don't lose special move cancelable property in this game; that is a SFIV thing I believe. If you're referring to target combos, that is technically true, but those aren't actually "normals," they are considered to be unique attacks in the move lists.
Does kim's elbow drop also apply to Cammy's fastfall followup for hooligan?
thank you!
Nice video.
Wow these are a very good video
does anyone know how to drive rush cancel from a crouching move on stick? its so hard for me to get it consistently.
Late answer but back before the patch i had to press forward forward right away the moment i pressed my button. Now due to the new change its much easier. Pressing MP+MK now activates DR when canceling from normals. Its now up to you if you wanna map MP+MK
I would love to be answered by anyone here. Has anyone experienced like 4 mixup opportunities of the opponent you guessed right and try to wake up ex dp, but then out of those 4 consecutive situations, the ex dp just gets beaten by meaties for some reason even tho im already mashing. But when the ex dp comes out, thats when they block. Its really discouraging and it happens a lot. Am I doing anything wrong? The meaties are usually light attacks. Im currently 20k points with Ken.
If you're sure they're EX (because regular DP is not invincible to meaties!), try inputting them earlier. Sounds like you're pressing the button late, which means you're pressing forward while you wake up.
@@BrainGeniusEditor there were times I want to input early but drops it. Yes im sure its ex. Its frustratng to the point I want to suspect its because of the network or it felt like im cheated. I always play on 4 bars too.
Modern G A N G stay up boys
Fuzzy jump that Manon tech!
Thank you so much Mr Brian F. I have been looking for some answers on my own about Manon. You answered them all. I might just hit Diamond 💎 now. Plat 1 right now lol😂
If you want to go from modern to classic controls but struggle with 6 buttons and not motion input. I would actually recomend playing Dhalsim. Hear me out.
Sim doesn't really do combo's. the only real combo you do is jab-jab-yoga fire to knock them down and gain space. Instead you are using big buttons and specials to zone. Which means you will be able to focus on just hitting HP, or Hk->heavy fireball. Making you learn where those buttons are and the basics of cancelling into special moves.
I know modern players can still do classic inputs. Does that give them the full damage or is it always scaled back?
Gives unscaled dmg
Full dmg
