Ken's heavy jinrai also doesn't combo off of very much so they only use it in specific situations, you can do Cr.HP into heavy jinrai but outside of that it's mainly good for DI combos or certain corner / DRC combos. If ken does HP or Cr. Mk it's usually going to be light or medium jinrai after.
What a beast. Always with the great tech video. Can confirm, sonic blade gets dumpstered by sweeps and long lows. Thanks for trying to level up the community as a whole!
Great video with a lot of good reminders Chris !!! With the update coming and the replay take over, I'm sure you gonna cook even more great knwoledge check video. It will be useful to analyse the Blanka SA2 setup from top Blanka as an example.
This is a really helpful video! You probably omitted this because it's a little more advanced, but it's important to note that Jinrai can be spaced so certain OD reversals will whiff even if Ken does medium. If people are trying to use OD reversal on Jinrai they should make sure they check what spacings work and what spacings don't with their character. Thanks for the vid!
The option select you showed against Aki can be used in a bunch of other ways too. You can use a chain light normal into another plus: Di, parry other normals like medium or heavy, even specials and supers if you use a non cancellable light. Di can be used against eds slow uppercut, parry could be used against drive reversal to get less pushback, Di, super, other normals and specials are good to catch characters who use sway type moves, especially if they like to drive rush in then sway to catch you out. Even vs Aki as Kim you can crlk qcblp to catch her with a teleport then grab. Also you can safe jump and os grab or teleport to beat Aki, and since she has a slow uppercut you can use a lot more safe jump setups on her.
Hey Chris great content , i have a suggestion , you have a lot of knowledge checks by character spread across many videos , it would be nice if you can do short, summarized character specific knowledge check videos individually, so we can pull it up quickly before a matchup to review or just after a matchup to use the new replay takeover to try to figure things out against that specific character
Good tip about the sonic blade, they always put a pikachu face when you punish it but above 1700 MR they barely use it if at all (prob just in corner combos)
There’s an OS vs aki to beat all options except the delayed LK follow-up. You try to PP the kicks then drive rush. It will beat throw and the LK snake step
Also vs deejay you can try hitting PP since parry makes you stand immediately. Faster than switching your block and you get drive back or the potential to PP
10:54 niche thing to add. If the ken can really adapt,ken can slightly delay jinrai follow ups by a couple frames,so if they catch on they _could_ delay the toe kick on the light one,but that info is way too niche to be relevant most of the time. Just something that could happen tho in a long set for example where there is an “option” on that
13:24 ok,this is kind of the same thing,except this actually happened to me playing an aki friend who i played with regularly on longer sets and whatnot and they did delay stance kicks and it would beat my OS delay jump. So,watch out for that too. This one’s less niche to me cuz it happened to me first hand lol 13:56 yeah exactly ok glad it’s mentioned lol 14:00 yeah true
Good place to be, you dont have legacy habits to get rid of lmao. I know old heads when i fight them, theyre so solid but they dont really play the game they're on currently lmao.
I wish weak hashogeki was a few frames faster so it can be used better for feinting to bluff to counter both DIs and Jumping attacks. That would be an acceptable Ryu buff.
I need to know if you do coaching lessons because I am terrible and absolutely terrible with Kimberly I made it to Masters but I need help improving really bad and I feel like nobody else will be able to help me but you
Good info. I haven't come accross those yet, but maybe can try a few in training (except Kim's corner thing- not sure what I'd record). Impressive controller, but a bit distracting since you already have your face, & I use close captions for low/no sound. Thanks for the vid.
We need an entire series of videos covering Blanka. That fuck is nothing but gimmicks. I know most of it isn't real, but dear god does he have a lot of bullshit he can throw at you.
Guile tip is not true. At least for Gief. Spend 2 matches with my friend simply trying to hit him during sonic blade with a low and it never worked. Not only there is no hurtbox where you show in your video - giefs sweep gets hit by the sonic blade every time.
No anti Akuma stuff here, finally proving scientifically he is in fact a fair and honest character
Replay takeover is about to have players cook all my Marisa setups. I'm shaking in my foot wraps. 😂😂😂
Bison is (a bit closer to being) done
I’m really looking forward to takeovers, will be MUCH easier to give replay review advice when I stream!
Akuma is just a shoto with air fireball and pancake hp
Even with shin buff his hp makes him no top tier
these have been so helpful, a huge percentage of fighting game players don't have enough time to figure all this out. Thanks Chris great work.
Glad to help!
The light attack into throw option select brings me back to the SF4 days. Really good info here. The Guile tip was something I was not aware of
SF4 had some wild OS you could do
@@TylerL-para btw the light attack do you guys hold the first button or let go and press the other light for the throw?
Ken's heavy jinrai also doesn't combo off of very much so they only use it in specific situations, you can do Cr.HP into heavy jinrai but outside of that it's mainly good for DI combos or certain corner / DRC combos. If ken does HP or Cr. Mk it's usually going to be light or medium jinrai after.
You are a blessing in this community Chris.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for putting part 1 n the description

Thanks a lot bro, doing what I can!
I know we had our history and we've been on an emotional Rollercoaster but you're still my favorite creator
Thank you so much!
I really love these videos! So much knowledge and straightforward counters condensed into it. Thanks for these!
And thank you for watching and commenting!
These defense videos are much appreciated~~ tysm!!
Glad I could help! Thank you so much for watching!
Chris, your content got me out of Platinum into Diamond. Thank you for all your help!!
Nice work and congrats! Master next!!
Loved the kimberly part, please keep this content coming, Chris!
Thx! More to come for sure
Great video with a lot of good reminders Chris !!! With the update coming and the replay take over, I'm sure you gonna cook even more great knwoledge check video. It will be useful to analyse the Blanka SA2 setup from top Blanka as an example.
That's the plan! I’m really looking forward to it especially during streams

I omitted it bc I play guile and OD flash kick never whiffs😂😂😂
Straight up didn’t even know that was a thing
Love this series. Would love to see more on Akuma, Bison, and even more vs Cammy (spin knuckle shenanigans, esp heavy).
Thanks! I have more ideas but need to wait and see if there are any balance changes with the terry patch
Love this series. I wish more players did these
I got you
Im looking forward to the blanka level 2 video!
Will try to get to it after my terry guide!

Didn’t know about some of these! Thx!
I keep commenting the same thing basically, but thank you for making the content I need!
I appreciate you, thx!!
Another great video! Thanks man these have been great!
Just doing my part!
Oh cool, anti-jinrai tech!
*cries in kimberly*
@@caznomis same man;zangief gotta be patient vs that bs
be the evil you desire

Very true, good guile’s know to space it. Not everyone is high MR so I try to cover as many skill levels as I can
@@Chris_F don't take me wrong, I love your work and what you do for the community, these are very helpful tips ❤️
@valsione38 don’t worry about it I know what you mean!
Wonderful content as always, time to hit the lab!
Happy labbing!

Exactly what these streets need Chris...^_^
Thx!
The problem with that blanka pressure is if you go for parry....he can hop and throw you. That's the mix up. Thanks for another great video tho 🙏🏿

Glad you like them!
So so helpful. Damn Kimberly! Damn her to heck. Shhhh dont give away Ryu tech lol
Playing defense in SF6 is too much effort. Thanks for sharing these knowledge
Happy to help!
Your going to have to start working in that Anti-Terry video.
Gotta finish the starter guide first!
i love your videos so much. bless you. ❤
Thank you! You too!
my dumbass use down throw knowing zangief gonna throw aki out of corner xd
You are the goat! This is my first SF game so I'm just learning all these concepts for the first time. Thank you
Good place to be, you dont have legacy habits to get rid of lmao. I know old heads when i fight them, theyre so solid but they dont really play the game they're on currently lmao.
Thanks man, glad to be able to help! I think it’s tough to find good resources as a beginner bc there’s just so much out there
This is a life saver, get it life saver....😄
I don’t get it lol
I wish weak hashogeki was a few frames faster so it can be used better for feinting to bluff to counter both DIs and Jumping attacks. That would be an acceptable Ryu buff.
Thank you
You're welcome! Thx for watching!
About using DI against Hashogeki, be sure to not use it against 2MP. he can go for 2MP -> M hashogeki and be safe against DI
Can you please show how to punish Ryu’s block string that ends with High Blade Kick.
He’s always too far away to punish.
IIRC you DI that string
@@Chris_Fthank you, I literally never DI so didn’t think to do that
As a blanka main, im sweating
I need to know if you do coaching lessons because I am terrible and absolutely terrible with Kimberly I made it to Masters but I need help improving really bad and I feel like nobody else will be able to help me but you
dm me on X
drive impacting the Ryu is crazy dangerous lol. im pretty sure ryu can DR after his cr.mk right
Good info. I haven't come accross those yet, but maybe can try a few in training (except Kim's corner thing- not sure what I'd record).
Impressive controller, but a bit distracting since you already have your face, & I use close captions for low/no sound.
Thanks for the vid.
I included my hands bc I’ve been getting lots of ppl asking how I do inputs.
Thanks for watching and for the support!!
@@Chris_F Good to know. I use pad. 🙂You're welcome.
We need an entire series of videos covering Blanka. That fuck is nothing but gimmicks. I know most of it isn't real, but dear god does he have a lot of bullshit he can throw at you.
That aki tech is 🔥
20 missed calls from Broski.
Welp rip my girl kim 😂

My bad😭
Where is part 1?
