Your extensive SF4 tutorial that includes chains, links, confirms and how frame data works is how I learned fighting games and I enjoy them so much more because of that. I skipped playing SFV but now that I’m back playing SF6 all the things you taught helped ease me back in and from that time on I had been able to apply everything you taught to other games. I just wanted to express my appreciation to you Vesper. As much as I like Dood there’s no way you don’t deserve credit for that tech. I’m calling it VRush.
You didn’t miss anything by skipping SFV , all those tips wouldn’t apply , welcome back. I took a break from 4-6 also I’m glad to be playing street fighter again like it’s my side chick
Hi Vesper, Just a quick message to say I really love how you explain even the most advanced things in simple non-patronising way. It is very well done and very appreciated.
The receipts detective part was hilarious haha, funny thing is that prolly all exp players found it on their own, is not rocket science people! Thanks for the content vesper
Hello Vesper, Even after months, amazing resource, thanks from France! I watch and re-watch many or your guides and get better step by step, every day (or feeling like, lol) Take care :)
Vesper, I've been waiting for you to make this video! Only you could make a video so easy to understand! The reason I was able to stand a fighting chance in SFV was because I watched your videos! Keep up the great work!
Hey Vesper, I was a fanatic of your SF4 tutorials and got high ranked enough to compete locally. I skipped SF5 due to life etc. Now I'm back on SF6, and your masterful explanations of things got me back on board quickly. Thank you for what you're doing and keeping it real always.
You are a godsend, dude. I was sorta kicking fools into the curb without it, but from Silver upwards folks was putting me down with combos I couldn't answer to cause I just couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This will help my combo game something fierce. Let's have fun everyone 😁
Vesper, been a fan since the SF4 tutorial! your Honda piano tutorial is amazing and helped me learn how to consistently get thousand hand combos. so glad to see you still doing this kind of detailed content
As someone who just really got serious into sf with 6, THANK YOU for this video. I'm going through the classic controls growing pains, working my way back up to bronze 5 with luke....and this video was a piece of tech that kept getting used on me, that I had no idea how to do.
Absolutely a very valuable video. Very descriptive. I knew how to use drive gauge a little, but this just blew my mind of how little I knew. Now, I feel like I can win EVO (joking of course. I'll just be a walking body bag). Great job!!!🎉
Hey Vesper. Great guide. I was late to SF4 and missed 5 completely. Had this game and a PS5 for 2 weeks and loving your coverage. Drive rush suddenly makes sense 😅
DR also changes juggles for the follow-up attacks. Jamie's d+KK launcher normally can't be followed by a jumping HK, but if you Rush into the launcher the HK will connect as well.
The perfect drive rush technique is literally Jiyuna's tech. Yes, there are receipts, he made a video about it. Jiyuna bros are calling it the J-rush. Give credit where credit is due and don't claim it your own and give the person who found it some respect.
The issue for drive rush with me is that I have mastered doing it "raw" for the most part, but not on hit. I play on a stick and I find it very hard to actually go left or right twice really fast. I check my inputs and I see an arrow going straight and an arrow going diagonally low and down. So it's the most challenging mechanic for me in the game, but with more time and practice I should get it.
Yeah drive rush mid combo on stick has been real tricky for me. Ive found i need to do the first forward motion befor i hit the move fkr it to come out.
@@azada83 That's a good habit to get into for any cancel. Buffering your motion inputs before you finish the input on confirm is one of the harder, but still fundamental skills when it comes to execution.
We have the Character Combo Guides, however, can you do Character Guides in this format. Where you illustrate their archetype, normals/specials tips and where you’d use certain combos. I think this would be great for beginners.
I did not think I was going to get anything from this, but I was dying on Kimberly’s trial 11. I could NOT get the TC to come out. It would always start on Mp. It’s that wonky buffering after the dash in the DoodRush you mentioned. It was eating my input because I was too fast. Thanks
4:35 master maybe not all of them but pro players? Absolutely. Not only does it conserve bar it has 0 tell. You get no blue flash. Every. Frame. Matters.
Hey, just a request. I’m trying out lots of characters and one thing I really need that I’m assuming others would, is a quick combo guide for max damage with meter, without, in corner, and with super. Like just the B&B’s. Lights, etc I can lab, but it’d be nice to have a quick reference guide to speed up getting ready for ranked with a new character. Thanks for all you do.
Especially the second half of this video was fire info, if you already have the opponent juggling, don't DR cancel, just DR into a button that now has juggle properties... LOVE that... and It shed light on when to use Ken's Run/Stop vs attempting a fake DR on knockdown (which I've been victim to multiple times) Am I the only one debating on using my P5 scuf impact (or pad in general) over my stick? I haven't played a fighting game w/ a Pad since DOA on the Xbox lol... I always felt games like UMvC3 is button heavy, button dash etc... so It's really helpful to utilize those Sanwa Denshi, Stick was more for directional placement, but in SF type game etc, >> is a button press essentially on a directional pad, therefore less deadzone on a switch gate (square gate) I guess It's going to come down to how many "Buttons" per second I can utilize 5 fingers w/ vs just my right thumb (I don't claw) Most of the newer/ players in my club are using Hitbox, I bought one years ago, never felt right... Tiger Knee Tatsu w/ Ken, Instant Air jump MP into dive kick confirm w/ Juri is why I've stuck w/ the stick so far, it's just less likely I mess that sort of motion up, but this game is SOMEHOW faster, but requires less button presses "Per 3 seconds" if you will... or does it? I'm all f'd up trying to decide....
I switched to pad because of how important dash inputs and down, down are but doing TK Dive kicks feel tough with Cammy. So it comes down to what you're comfortable with and which character you're playing. We still have pro players using every type of controller.
@@VesperArcade right right... This Ken, I need to Master (no pun intended) But Juri and Deejay are my second and 3rd... I want a Dudley, Adon, Goken, Akuma, Fei Long lol... mann... Bring this games mechanics w/ those characters? Oh my things will heat up!
Don't know if it's useful and probably something that was discovered months ago but I haven't heard much: just as you can do the Dood Rush by fwd+parry > fwd, instead of doing cancellable normal > fwdx2, you can do fwd+normal > fwd.
Out of curiosity, can you map the standard dashes to buttons? I have a very difficult time with pressing the same direction twice, physically, so dashes have never been possible (you can imagine how big a deficit that was) and as such haven't bought SF6. But if i could map it to a button, that would open the door.
I had problems with the second button after the drive rush, ex: with ryu: drive rush, smp, then shp wont come out even though frame wise it should maybe its because its very small window but even for a different button with more leniency on the frame window it wont come out
I don't know that anyone gets to claim discovery of tech like F, F + Mediums. Definitionally someone found it first, but it will be nearly impossible to figure out who. I'm just some random gold scrub and I found it myself in the open beta. It seemed obvious to try so you could eliminate or reduce the blue flash to give the opponent less time to react. In fact, if memory serves, I was watching Max when that clip was recorded. I think someone asked him if that input worked which prompted the clip in the first place. Undoubtedly hundreds or thousands of players found this in rapid succession, just most don't have a TH-cam following.
1:53 one thing I did learn, from neutral, if you press foward once, and then press the parry and the forward again. So instead of Parry-forward-forward, it becomes forward-parry+foward, as far as I know, it’s the fastest way to DR from neutral
The problem with pressing the button immediately after dr is if the character has a forward normal compared to the standing normal you want you will get the forward normal.
What I want to understand is, why, even when I'm anticipating someone doing drive rush into buttons, even my fastest buttons don't come out to check it?

You didn’t miss anything by skipping SFV , all those tips wouldn’t apply , welcome back. I took a break from 4-6 also I’m glad to be playing street fighter again like it’s my side chick
They was beating my ass online after I watch that Street fighter 4 instructional video I became the Executioner hate messages regularly 😂
Is there an updated version for sf6? I need to learn all that stuff lol
@@VesperArcade
Oh man, that hits a ways... V Rush it ain't.
Hi Vesper,
Just a quick message to say I really love how you explain even the most advanced things in simple non-patronising way. It is very well done and very appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
That Dood Derail was amazing! Shine On!
The receipts detective part was hilarious haha, funny thing is that prolly all exp players found it on their own, is not rocket science people!
Thanks for the content vesper
Ah yes, finally, the 15+1 Drive Rush tips video has finally arrived!
Hello Vesper,
Even after months, amazing resource, thanks from France!
I watch and re-watch many or your guides and get better step by step, every day (or feeling like, lol)
Take care :)
At the end of the video:
“It’s 1 in the morning” *keeps playing ranked anyway*
Vesper, I've been waiting for you to make this video! Only you could make a video so easy to understand! The reason I was able to stand a fighting chance in SFV was because I watched your videos! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this in-depth vid on the V Rush. Your receipts helped alot.
You and Rooflemonger drop some serious knowledge in such nicely packaged videos thanks for the quality video it's helpful af!. You da man!
Awesome V-Rush video bro! lol definitely helpful tips here keep ‘em coming!
Lol that receipt thing is funny. On the other hand I think max does use the “vesper rush” as his rule
I can't believe i was pushing parry to drive rush cancel this whole time and i didnt need to. What a rube i am. Thanks Vesper.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been seeing 1 AM a lot more recently since streetfighter six came out. You are not alone. Lol

Even mostly just watching as a spectator this is good info to know, thank you.
Thank you! I knew about the input shortcut but not the buffering and holding parry during juggles.
OMG FINALLY actual good tips you sir have earned both a like and a subscriber thank you.
Vesper has the best channel about Street Fighter. This channel should have at least 2x more subscribers.
As someone who just really got serious into sf with 6, THANK YOU for this video.
I'm going through the classic controls growing pains, working my way back up to bronze 5 with luke....and this video was a piece of tech that kept getting used on me, that I had no idea how to do.
I want to apologize for believing that Max did it first. You the real MVP vesper. V-rush it is.
Thanks so much for the juggle drive tip. I would manually do it and time it as best as possible.
With the vesper rush its like the v system never went away
I’m here was the DR weakness segment. I been letting way to many people DR on me when I could just button/special them out. Thanks Vesper!
Dude holding the Parry during the move is a freaking game changer. Thank you so much Vesper
Thanks for all the help, Vesper… your guides and tips are awesome. GGs!!
Awesome vid thank you so much! It's as if you were watching my gameplay and saw how tough it is for me to land juggle combo rush . Much appreciated.
OMG Thank you! I really needed this.
Absolutely a very valuable video. Very descriptive. I knew how to use drive gauge a little, but this just blew my mind of how little I knew. Now, I feel like I can win EVO (joking of course. I'll just be a walking body bag). Great job!!!🎉
This video was so informative that I didn't even need to watch it all and now I'm already Grand Master rank.
LOL
Alternate for instant drive rush is Forward, MP+MK (Hold slightly), Forward, oh at 7:55 you got that one too!
Such great guide and presentation. Thank you.
Let's just call it the V-Dood Rush and everyone's happy. Awesome video, thanks !
I learnt a lot here, ty man.
This was sooooo helpful!!!!
Thanks very much 😊
This is the only drive rush guide to watch nobody explains this comprehensively
Very good examples and explanation, I play SF since SF2 on and off and find SF6 the best the series has ever been.
Thanks for the hard work.
Awesome info dude! I’m a 44 yr old trying to get back in to it. Suffice to say I would not have figured this out on my own😂
Good luck! We will take as many people we can in the FGC
So grateful for this content, I feel that you actually want us to understand what's being shown, thank you. I'm subscribing for more! :)
I macro my parry button on the face buttons.
DR on a pad is infinitely easier than on stick.
As on stick you have to wait for the stick to return to neutral, which often fucks me up.
and even easier on keyboard
Absolutely.
Thanks V. An easy informative watch from en egoless pro!
This video is gold. Thanks!
V-rush and V-step? Vesper confirmed the greatest SF6 tech master… everyone else APOLOGIZE
Hey Vesper. Great guide. I was late to SF4 and missed 5 completely. Had this game and a PS5 for 2 weeks and loving your coverage. Drive rush suddenly makes sense 😅
Thanks needed help on this one. I keep getting sonic booms when I try to dr. Starting to learn to have the stick in neutral when I dr.
DR also changes juggles for the follow-up attacks. Jamie's d+KK launcher normally can't be followed by a jumping HK, but if you Rush into the launcher the HK will connect as well.
Same for Ken’s MP + Hp target combo.
You can rush into his heavy punch then finish with a shoryuken.
So THAT's why it wasn't working! ty
Jamie's D+KK is the perfect example, I'll try to bring that up next time thanks!
The perfect drive rush technique is literally Jiyuna's tech. Yes, there are receipts, he made a video about it. Jiyuna bros are calling it the J-rush. Give credit where credit is due and don't claim it your own and give the person who found it some respect.

I'm the opposite lmao
@@azada83 That's a good habit to get into for any cancel. Buffering your motion inputs before you finish the input on confirm is one of the harder, but still fundamental skills when it comes to execution.
no problem for tekken players lol, infact drive rush feels really easy to do coming from that game. It's all just practice man, It'll click soon :)
@@GoronsCave Thanks!
I just wanna know why I can't combo into Hondas st.hp from a drive rush move that has enough plus frames to allow a combo
Can you be more specific on the combo? I would assume it's because Hondas hand swings really wide so it takes longer for it to hit in front of him.
We have the Character Combo Guides, however, can you do Character Guides in this format. Where you illustrate their archetype, normals/specials tips and where you’d use certain combos. I think this would be great for beginners.
This is such a great guide 👏👍👍
Ha ha love the Vesper Rush story
Hmm i like how you give inputs for sf6. Worth following kudos 👍
I did not think I was going to get anything from this, but I was dying on Kimberly’s trial 11. I could NOT get the TC to come out. It would always start on Mp. It’s that wonky buffering after the dash in the DoodRush you mentioned. It was eating my input because I was too fast. Thanks
bro thanks alot this was very helpful
First the Veper step, now the Vesper Rush, the Vesper tech just keep coming.
😂😂😂😂 BRAVO MY GOOD MAN
Whats the vesper step
@@TheZionsoljah it's a nick name we gave to micro walking on the middle of combos from a stream.
@bazzjedimaster oh ok. Haven't need to use the vesper step yet lol. I guess kimberly doesn't benefit from such tech?
4:35 master maybe not all of them but pro players? Absolutely. Not only does it conserve bar it has 0 tell. You get no blue flash. Every. Frame. Matters.

dood rush sounds like one of the activities on offer at ram ranch
I recommend using drive rush with the following input: --> MP+MK -->
I can pull it off every time.
coming here way late, but very helpful. Thanks!
V-Rush forever!

Now I have a way to deal with blanka ball, didn’t know in the full game you could dr after perfect parry
Thank you so much
Vesper Rush! FTW
Thank you for the guides.
I have trouble to do low normals into drive rush i cant do it consistently :(
EXCELLENT tutorial
@vesperarcade. Quick question mate. When using a pad, what’s your button mapping? Cheers
I use default buttons with stock parts. I don't use the L2 button at all. Thanks for asking!
@@VesperArcade cheers pal. I appreciate the reply. Keep up the good work. 👍
Wait... When did vesper switch to pad?
Any tips on how to execute drive rush cancel from crouching attacks? I simply cannot pull it off... No problems with standing attacks though...
do you have any tips on how to interrupt your opponent doing Dr on you?? the screen freeze during it makes it really hard to react with a button.
This stage theme is fire
Thank you, know I understand how to Vesper-rush
Out of curiosity, can you map the standard dashes to buttons? I have a very difficult time with pressing the same direction twice, physically, so dashes have never been possible (you can imagine how big a deficit that was) and as such haven't bought SF6. But if i could map it to a button, that would open the door.
I've gotten used to using the left shoulder button for both parry and drive rush. It just takes getting used to, like playing an instrument.
How is mago doing dr into cross cut dp consistently? Just dr>dp?
Hi Vesper,
Ça you exolain how to do Dr Cancel from low attacs please. For me it's the most difficult input.
Thank you for this clear video
I'm a Diamond 4 and did not all you had to do was press fwd fwd after a strike. I just accepted drive rush combos were not for me.
Vesper is literally playing the man who asked Randy Marsh to apologize
I had problems with the second button after the drive rush, ex: with ryu: drive rush, smp, then shp wont come out even though frame wise it should maybe its because its very small window but even for a different button with more leniency on the frame window it wont come out
The window is just small. I drop it sometimes myself.
I tried to rush parry from special cancelable and I find I have to smash forward forward to execute. Is it timing or just speed involved?
I don't know that anyone gets to claim discovery of tech like F, F + Mediums. Definitionally someone found it first, but it will be nearly impossible to figure out who.
I'm just some random gold scrub and I found it myself in the open beta. It seemed obvious to try so you could eliminate or reduce the blue flash to give the opponent less time to react.

Drive rush barely makes a difference in the main scheme of things but it’s also the most slept on mechanic
V Rush sounds cool
1:53 one thing I did learn, from neutral, if you press foward once, and then press the parry and the forward again. So instead of Parry-forward-forward, it becomes forward-parry+foward, as far as I know, it’s the fastest way to DR from neutral
Not to mention and more importantly it costs more meter if you do it the wrong way.
Thanks for adding that. When you see me look at my old video you see that input on the screen.
@@VesperArcade yes I saw you went over it lol, I had typed this before I got to that part of the vid (great video btw)
The problem with pressing the button immediately after dr is if the character has a forward normal compared to the standing normal you want you will get the forward normal.
Vesper tech ftw
What I want to understand is, why, even when I'm anticipating someone doing drive rush into buttons, even my fastest buttons don't come out to check it?
