Legit been waiting for another vid man, your last 3 were some of the best and most easily digestible videos about neutral, advantage, and disadvantage I’ve seen. Please keep at it, you’re doing god’s work!
This is great. I think dedicating part of each game to actively learn what each opponent wants to do, their habits and how they play is something that could really help my progress going forward, thanks for making this 🙏
I love your videos and how super quick they are to understand. I appreciate the really low energy voice instead of trying to keep me engaged with faux hype. I think I liked the self 1 vs self 2 part the most, as I've never really put thought into that sort of thing. Great stuff!!
I think the stylistic choices I make in my videos mean they may not appeal to a wider audience, but if they appeal to people like yourself, I’m happy, thank you!!
I've been finding this series incredibly helpful as a new fighting game player. Compared to the games I was playing last time I dipped my toes in, like Soul Calibre 2, things have become so much more complex. There's so much to consider, in and out of matches, I can see how so many people bounce off the genre. I really like what you have to say about salt. It's absolutely true that if you keep getting beaten by a "cheap" move or character, that just means you need to learn the counterplay. If it's as cheap as you think it is, it will generally have an easy counterplay.
The fact that you have that mindset and understand that nothing is “cheap” and you just lack knowledge tells me you’re better than 90% of fighting game players already
Some really good analysis on mental approach both to analyse opponents and manage your own, but one thing I thing is kinda overlooked here is the power of first impressions, doing something risky or unexpected early, like ex dp the first knockdown or always starting round 1 with a DI, is going to immediately shoot that option to the top of your opponent's mental stacj for a whike before they notice you stop presenting that option entirely. It is risky and something I wouldn't always try, but it can be worth experimenting with, if anything to see how your opponent responds.
thats more conditioning, which i do agree i did not cover in the video. Too much to talk about not enough time, but who knows? I might make a follow up
Monkey see monkey do What i think a person looks with such risky moves like DI at the start is momentum. Its like always using the sicilian defense openning in chess. But just play the game try every person as a new person but you know yourself. You are Mr. DI Athebeggining Johnson
The notion of the "two selves" is described well in the book "Thinking Fast and Thinking Slow" by Psychologist Daniel Kahneman. We have two states of mind. The emotional, impusive, primal mind and the more rational, deliberate, strategic one. The first one is on autopilot and giving into it is why people get salty. The second one in many is lazy and takes time to develop but the 2nd is responsible for forming and implementing tactical decisions and adaptations under pressure. Unfortunately most people never really develop their 2nd and tend to behave impulsively and thoughlessly leading to easy manipulation.
Another banger vid, this is actually what I'm struggling with the most rn. I got the inner game of tennis to somewhat help with this, combined with this vid (which I'm gonna have to watch a couple of times) my mental should be golden.
@@fararjeh I had the first 3 videos downloaded to my gaming laptop so I could remember your practices offline and still improve these are some of the best sf6/fgc videos I've ever watched man!
Want to say something about the section around 7:50 The community at large will label everything below 1800MR as "Bad" or "Not playing the *real* SF6" for various reasons. This creates a sense that a loss to anyone below the watermark of the top 1% as a loss to a "Bad player" Which massively intensifies the feelings of anger and shame even if they're not openly expressed in a way such as openly insulting the opponent. It creates an image that you should Always Be Winning while developing when that's just not feasible. This is despite the fact that everywhere will tell you "Yeah, you're going to lose a lot," a defeat to someone considered Bad will be implicitly or explicitly shamed if you're unfortunate enough to have a clip of your own efforts get shown online.
When I was at my best it was because I played against the computer. I would occasionally play against players of my choosing as well. I enjoyed playing against them and we made each other better players. In Street Fighter 4 where I was just so so I split my game time between computers and players. The players would cause my confidence to drop. Which resulted in less drive to train. I was recently watching a top player play Street Fighter 6. A thought occurred to me. Do modern top players focus hard on only specific skills leaving certain others so so? I remember when I trained I would learn new skills. As I learned more skills I would eventually move onto other skills as I progressed.
@fararjeh I define skill as quantifiably measurable. I was a 4 star player in the Street Fighter 4 days. I was a 7-8 training against Shin Akuma in Street Fighter Àlpha 3. I was over 4 stars in Alpha 2. I was anywhere from a beginner to a regular in the beginning starting with Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition.If you are winning half your matches or better against a computer level or against a specific person you are that person's level.

As a Guile player, I loved the little sequence from about 01:20 to 01:26! However, great tips!
Guile is the best example what can o say lmao
The Self 1 and 2 is extremely cool as a concept and I’ll definitely be sharing this video around with people I know!
Thank you brother!

Depends what you define as “skills”
@fararjeh I define skill as quantifiably measurable. I was a 4 star player in the Street Fighter 4 days. I was a 7-8 training against Shin Akuma in Street Fighter Àlpha 3.
