A note. I did some calculations. Every time you like one of my videos you force anywhere between 20 to 50 Guilty Gear players to see it in their recommended feed. If you want to enact violence on other people's TH-cam feeds, you can like the video.
@@MrOeilomega Bless your heart, as I will never put likesmash requests into an .mp4 directly (They also remain unmonetized), but the discoverability of my videos is tied to it.
Sometimes it's good to learn why it's good, because when you run into monsters who know how to defend (Either soon or down the line), you'll have counterplay to theirs already on lock.
If you learn your CH confirms/basic combos, can anti-air 6P consistently, can run afro setups like these, and only do Meaty cS (Lots), Delayed cS (Lots) and Snip(sometimes) for oki, you will be able to do it, I think.
@@Krackatoa I honestly think my pressure is my biggest flaw. It always feels weak and then I eventually get blown up. Appreciate you taking the time to reply with some tips though. Much love
I've been doing some labbing and you can make the c.S -> j.S -> j.H completely safe by using jump cancel BRC. c.S -> BRC drift -> c.S -> j.S -> j.H. You lose the option to do a crossup/super wall break though without 100% meter, so I'm not exactly sure if it's worth using unless you're attempting to close out a round.
I did the math. Because it doesn't confer a mixup you wouldn't get already, it's not worth it. If you're going to BRC you can go for rising jK>jD > then BRC to keep things tight. cS jc BRC is also good to bait YRC/Burst. BRC normally enables a bonus mixup, but Afro already enables said mixup (You're replacing a meterless 50/50 for a metered one with no additional benefit.)
Yeah, left that out of the video to keep things a smidge more straightforward. I also omitted 2K5D because, while it's technically hard to block, I found a way to block it consistently even when mixing in 2K2D.
I may be being lazy but is it possible to do this string without the OTG c.s? I find that timing the safejump after OTG to be much hard than just safejumping
damn i was expecting at least one thing i hadn't seen/used before nope. been spamming this J.s J.h string, still note worthy some chars that low profile afro are a problem like Ram 6P etc. good setup more people needed to know about the K crow option the amount of disrespect this char gets during his frame traps and mixups is criminal go forth and cause the most honorable death fellow doctors death by afro the only real way to go >:3

So I'm glad this helped with opening my eyes to some more afro pressure I could use, but I once again ask what the best way to practice post afro safejumps is. It feels like training mode isn't helping much. Is there a particular character's moves that beat J.D on frame 2 or 3 but aren't invuln on startup? I've been using Sol 5k to try and practice, but it feels inconclusive. Btw safejump route I'm tryna use is 236H>IAD>J.D just to get afro lit and to discourage attacking after knockdown.
@@Krackatoa @Krackatoa That's what I did, so I guess I was doing it right. Is there any way to really tell at a glance if you are getting it correctly or is it just a matter of consistency with blocking viper and hitting 5k? Also I'm guessing S Viper instead of H because it's faster?
Hey Krack!!!! How are you getting the training dummy to get hit by the Afro explosion? Are you setting it to block on Random or something? Thanks for the setups btw
@@Krackatoa oh if it's a microdash that would explain it. Now that I know that' the issue, I'm pretty confident in getting it down. Thank you! (Though 5K is probably a safe fall back). Thanks!
@@tafkat1229 You can also go for dash 2K into 2D or 5D. Most players can't block that well (It's just technically fake against the strongest players who understand K gatling mechanics)
Can someone please tell me how to set up a dummy in training mode so that they only get hit by 5D in the 5D overhead section? I'm uneducated and can't find answers.

@@MarcosPaulo-qi7dj yeah I stumbled upon that before but it was a lil difficult to interpret. It was a whole spreadsheet on what kind of fro mix ups/pressure worked on the cast.

I fear the day anyone actually learns the matchup for Faust, this may just buy us enough time
As a Faust main, this comment is so depressing to think about😂😂😂.
@@francisholt8685 It's not an issue. If people learn the matchup, that makes it easier to improve. You simply won't win as much in the process.
More knowledge will foster wisepeople.
Used to see Nage doing this string a lot instead of going for the rising j.K/j.D instantly, and I never knew the reason. Thanks for your explanation.
For a second I thought you wrote nago, and I was fucking petrified.
why am i here, krack, i do not play faust this setup scares me
Someone smashed like.
@@Krackatoa of course
im glad this came up in the recommended
Nice hat bro
Bro, This is so fundamentally good. Adding it to my Fausts Blockstrings video
this is really friecking cool
You and Nage have given Fausts a lot to learn today. Thanks as usual and sick hat btw
Another banger another banger from krackatoa
Ive been doing this since the afro update. Literally did not know it was better but i just did it cuz it was easier
Sometimes it's good to learn why it's good, because when you run into monsters who know how to defend (Either soon or down the line), you'll have counterplay to theirs already on lock.
I like to think every time a krack .mp4 comes out, faust players across the board get a little stronger and throw a multitude of people into confusion
bonus mixup jump scare
Add that to the list of "make them fear the command grab". Amazing video as always
Every time I watch a new video of yours, I always go maybe now I can finally break into celestial.

A lot of Faust players learning lose whole lifebars to obvious mistakes or weak pressure, while giving their opponent much more life to work with.

My brain actively grows everytime I watch this channel, thank you sir for brain stimulation
Banger vid, been feeling like I haven't been taking proper advantage of afro
Thanks for demonstrating this, I also use that first overhead setup, but this isn't THAT much harder while also getting FAR more reward.

I need to level up my chimp brain with this. Gonna go to my first locals soon and I really don't want to be Laust.
I don't play Faust but this is insanely well made and easy to understand. Great work!
Man I don’t play Faust like that in strive but this is so cool.
i love seeing your faust tech, feels like there's so much to learn with this character
licking my lips at the sight of a Krackatoa upload before todays local 👀👀
Another good option that's plus on block with the afro explosion is jc j.K j.2K after the second c.S.
Yeah, left that out of the video to keep things a smidge more straightforward. I also omitted 2K5D because, while it's technically hard to block, I found a way to block it consistently even when mixing in 2K2D.
One could say this mixup is "fire" am I right or am I right
Holy crap I'm gonna have to come back to this video in training mode. Are all this setups corner only or is there any mid screen madness here?
Some still work mid-screen, but you may have to play with the enders.
Bring the Hat to UMAD and have a FT10 exhibition for Lofo's hat
No.
I may be being lazy but is it possible to do this string without the OTG c.s? I find that timing the safejump after OTG to be much hard than just safejumping
Yup.
Bruh this is gonna be so cursed with new guard break ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Nice video, i learnt a lot like always but why not putting these in the combo maker ?
I work full time.

damn i was expecting at least one thing i hadn't seen/used before nope. been spamming this J.s J.h string, still note worthy some chars that low profile afro are a problem like Ram 6P etc.
good setup more people needed to know about the K crow option the amount of disrespect this char gets during his frame traps and mixups is criminal
go forth and cause the most honorable death fellow doctors
death by afro the only real way to go >:3
It Ram is sticking out 6P you can do early jD for sure. No problem. Just syringe.
@@Krackatoa nice thanks!
Note to self give the children their shots
(to lazy to lab char spes interactions i just do general use these days filthy casual)
always appreciate a bone from someone more knowledgeable :)
Just wondering, is there a place i can review the more common afro sequences? I will search your channel. Thanks!
Usually the other sequences stem from: Rising jK>jD; rising jD (Better for smol chars); or 2K 2D.
So I'm glad this helped with opening my eyes to some more afro pressure I could use, but I once again ask what the best way to practice post afro safejumps is.

Set the dummy to Sol 5K on wakeup, or S Volcanic Viper. That's enough.

@@potato_the_pig5757 You got it.
Hey Krack!!!! How are you getting the training dummy to get hit by the Afro explosion? Are you setting it to block on Random or something?
Thanks for the setups btw
Often after the delay jS jH i'm getting far slash instead of c.s, *especially* if any part of the c.s delay jS jH string hits. Any tips??
Oh, for that one you may have to go for an easier confirm. That one has a microdash before each cS

Any reason why 663jD is whiffing? I got my training partner set as Jacko and I did remember reading something about her having whack hurt boxes.
yeah her hurt boxes are whack, there is actually a spreadsheet with how faust's moves interact with characters in his dustloop page
I think it's near the bottom
The precise timing for 663jD is something to practice. You need a small delay on the 3 input
@@Krackatoa oh okay. I got confused because you usually have a delayed input noted in square brackets like so: 66[3]JD.
Thanks for that anyways!
