The best tip I ever gotten was to not focus so hard on winning but on the things that you did in the match. Sometimes you do a combo you've been practicing for a while and even if you lost, you still managed to land it in a match. There are small W's in the L's and learning to take those is a big step to improving.
Yep. You don't get better by winning a lot - you get better by losing and figuring out WHY you lost. Is there a bad habit you need to break? Are you being predictable? How's your meter management? Was there something your foe was doing that you didn't have an answer for? Being able to answer questions like that - even if it means a trip to Training Mode for a bit - is how you get better. It can be tough, but the key is to not get tilted when you lose. And if you ARE getting tilted, take a break. Do some Extreme battles in the hub, or work on your World Tour character for a bit or something until you've calmed down.
Just to refine this a bit, the main reason you don't want to measure your success strictly on winning is that if you lose, you have that opportunity to analyze why you lost. The best players have honed that specific skill to the point of analyzing why they took each individual hit and what to do about it immediately. But you don't develop that skill until you can start at seeing why you lost the match, then the round, then that specific exchange, etc.
Here's something. If you go to the Replays option, it will recommend other players' replays based on your matches. So if you just played Jamie and lost to JP, it will give you some Jamie vs. JP matches to watch from a variety of other players.
I had no idea! Man, that’s actually incredible. Capcom thought of a lot when it came to this game. Maybe I’ll stop being free to Gief and Manon. …. Maybe.
a huge mistake that i made when playing fighting games was spending wayyyy too much time in the lab and not actually playing the game. it might be scary to queue into online matches (especially ranked) but you'll overcome it very very quickly. another tip is to not be scared of losing. losing is the best way of improving because u can just rewatch the match and see what you did wrong or could do better
Exactly because it’s cool to beat up an opponent who isn’t moving all day but it’s a farcry different from when they are actually active and determined to beat you down hence CPU lvl 8
It would be nice if Japanese fighting games had fun single player modes dedicated to fun proper training. But in Japanese culture, these games are more about multiplayer and learning from that. Still, I would of preferred fun dedicated single player modes for skill improvement. On hard difficulties, the AI is cheap and unfun. But you are not improving skills by beating cheap AI. You are just beating learned AI loops
Yeah "Trial By Fire" route of running into Casual and Ranked....Is my preferred learning method. I hardly ever spent time labbing, so You & I are 2 sides of the same coin😆But I'ma spend time in Tutorial, Trials and Lab more to learn & improve. Honestly, for those who "Fear" Fighting Online, their starting at 0, Sooo....No Loss. I'd say "Play Casual, then when comfortable Hop to Ranked+Casual". Tbh the Fear becomes Real when You're in High Gold+ Rank, since ppl having their Points to Lose. But as You said "Losing and rewatching to learn from mistakes and analyze to improve/understand what is better in the battle's situations" is 1 Other Great Learning Tool, unfortunately not used enough since casuals/ppl find rewatching/spectating their own Replays/Losses/Wins to be "Too Boring"😔😔😔lol
@@mimamiwhooo4551 I played SFV since 2017, On/Off since around Late-2019/2020. Unfortunately the highest I made was Gold, near S-Gold. From everything I've experienced... Your Fundamentals and character core knowledge will carry over (Even tho SFV, I heard from high-level players "Teaches Bad Habits") Your knowledge on the Core Character Knowledge and Fundamentals will Carry Over, despite Brand New Mechanics (Like EX/OD using ☝️Drive Meter instead of 👇"The Meter", I've found myself in Burnout from Overusing EX's😅😅😅) but yeah. All of that & Just Time, and Enjoyment of It Will Yield Results....I hope to Get thru Gold and Make it to Platinum honestly😅seems SO SIMPLE but in SFV I never got Past Gold even at My Best😅Well Wish You Luck💯🙏
It can depend on the person though and how noob they are. If you're still struggling with basic inputs that's lab grind. If you're still struggling with basic combos that's lab time. After that though you should spend most of your time actually playing though I'd agree.
That was my biggest mistake with games like BBTAG, BBCF and especially smash bros. I was so obsessed with winning until my late teens (currently 22) that I would literally become a threat to the safety of others if I lost, especially close matches. But as I got older I learned to accept defeat and see it as a stepping stone to victory rather than something that, in my mind, I would be shamed for. I learned that rather than the L meaning “loss,” it grew to mean “lesson.” And that’s what saved me.
@@Filthy-Rat__ You have to look at your replays and see where you made errors. Learn from your loses. When you do that you improve, and then the wins come in. Even pros lose. They all lose more than they win.
Tip I wanna share: Watch your replays, study the opponent's character and play the character. Like for example if you struggle playing against Jamie, try the character out. You don't have to main him but just try playing him to familiarize with his moves. To know your enemy, you must become your enemy.
@MegaBleedman This is such a GREAT Learning Tip💯I'll be doing it for sure, rewatching certain matches W or L. But what I noticed unfortunately....for ppl who are casuals, they mostly find it "It's boring to watch over/spectate my own matches"😅So yeah, Hope More ppl see this. Excellent Tip💯✅
Big Mortal Kombat fan trying out SF for the first time, I was really good at MK but suck at this, but it's really fun to see myself slowly improve with each fight
I am kinda new to fighting games. Haven't played since SF4 and i'm enjoying getting beat up and learning new stuff. Thanks for the tips about the drives and fireball parry.
It's not just Fireballs - Parry is like Super Auto-block! You can use it to defeat high-low mix-ups and cross-up jumping attacks. Left, right, high, low, Parry DOES NOT CARE and will block it all for you automagically. Parry will even eat Supers and give you tons of meter back! Lastly, you can "cancel" Parry into block if you're worried about holding it too long and getting thrown. A lot of people forget to Parry, or think that Perfect Parry is the only time it's good, but neither is true. It's better than blocking a lot of the time PLUS you will often come out of a Parry with move Drive Gauge than you started with once you get good with when to use it. Blocking *everything* is an easy road to Burnout in many matchups, especially against Rushdown characters like Kimberly or Ken, or bruisers like Marissa, or even if JP is spamming ghosts and tentacles at you all day.
My man, I got into Strive a few months ago as my first fighting game and your videos are very useful, and with SF6 arriving today, you’re STILL out here making quality, concise, clear and helpful videos. Subbed now. Appreciate these very much! Also greatly helps you’re not cringe. Seriously, so many other fighting TH-camrs are just… something else.
as someone who plays modern gief. This is fairly easy to counter, if you know he is just mashing EX throw, jump at the end of your blockstring, enjoy a free combo, or cancel into something that pushes them out of ex grab range and once again enjoy your free combo. if that's all he's doing, it's easy to make him whiff and then punish him
As a player transitioning from tekken, SF has always been tricky for me dive into but your videos are dope af and have helped make the process from 3D to 2D less daunting!! Much love and sending good vibes 🙏🏾
bro, im from tekken too, and its a big adjustment for me.. trying to poke poke, wanna sidestep but cannot, & doing some long combos after launchers but cannot do it properly here in SF. its very hard man.
Same here. It's a bit of a weird change in pace, but once you get the timing of moves & combos down, it gets easier. I like the satisfaction of pulling off a hard combo in this. Keep at it guys 👍🏽
Much love from someone who quit smash and started playing sf6. you’ve been a staple in how i learn this game and i love your content even if its a year old like this video
I think what you said about TV's is so important. I think a lot of people don't realize the difference between a TV and even a basic gaming monitor. These days, even basic TV's have image enhancement stuff and other things focused on making the TV best for watching TV and these image processing features usually mean added latency in gaming. Most TV's will have a "game mode" these days, but you have to make sure it's enabled, or a "pc mode" sometimes. Those modes should reduce latency, but even then a monitor made for gaming is likely a better choice.
You simply put the best SF6 content on TH-cam! Pretty much all of your SF6 videos are very interesting and also entertaining, happy to see more from you in the future Diaphone!
I watch your replays all the time because you use Kim really well and it's fun to watch you hit those combos, shimmy, etc. A great tip for all viewers is that you can actually slow down the game speed when you watch replays. It really helps you pick up not only combos but timing as well.
I finally picked up sf6 and I was doing good due to past experience with fighting games but the drive rush tip was SUPER helpful, I was slowly parrying into drive rush and was so stunned seeing so many people on ranked rip it instantly, thank you so much!
One caveat about #3: If your character has a power-up super (called an Install, for anyone unfamiliar,) that you can get a buff from to gain an advantage, don't be afraid to use it. Jamie going from Sober to Instant Drunk, for example, might be a good use of meter if it's absolutely necessary. Otherwise, Dia's recommendation is pretty solid, particularly if you're a new player and are still learning when the best time to use your meter is.
Good point. I will say I think install supers generally follow the same rules, where later in the round its better (especially for jamie since he goes back to drink level 0). I think ideally you are using install to achieve your win condition (or if you are full on meter and need to spend)
@@Diaphone Plus, some installs don't really help mid match, such as Deejay's maraccas. He can build meter much faster by just pressuring. Now if he gets a hard knockdown or forced knockdown and the opponent is far away, sure. But other than that, this game differs from strive because installs are not inherently used to cement your win condition, like Bedman? greatly benefits from having his install active in the corner. You can use it mid combo as well. I haven't found a great use for installs in sf6 apart from using them in knockdown situations.
There are tons of "10 Things You Need to Know for SF6" videos and this is absolutely the best one. The editing and examples do so much. Id also add as a tip that when you use the built-in practice options in practice, the game is really just auto-loading some dummy settings for that drill. This means you can always edit those or tweak them to scale. You can, for example, change the probability that Ryu neutral jumps in the AA practice.
If you use a special cancelable move, like Kimberlys, standing medium, kick and,you double tap forward, you would do a instant drive rush (on hit whether they’re blocking or not)
You can also do a neutral jump instead of a shimmy to bait throws. It is beaten by some reversals but it removes the possibility of you not walking back enough and getting thrown out of your shimmy
It makes me incredibly happy knowing that one of the best FG and SF6 specifically players suggest something that I was able to discover on my own. I'M NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT
I like to play a few unranked matches before play ranked matches. Playing unranked puts you against platinum or master players and this gives you confidence and experience. Also, its good to warm up before ranked matches.
These tips are great. Struggling against my friends right now and just really want to get to a point where I'm not consistently losing. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the video! I felt at a pretty good position of the game but you helped simplify and shape my perspective in the approach. Im doing my first tournament on the 15th! Appreciate your efforts!
This is my first street fighter game, I have dabbled in other games like guilty gear and tekken but this is the first one of I don't wanna give up within a week, your videos have been great for helping me learn and keep the right mindset when playing, Rn I am playing classic chun li and man I gotta say its tough been smacked by everyone but having a ton of fun trying to get better.
7:40 Newer big TVs have a gaming mode that turns off some processing to minimise latency. My 2019 65-inch LG has 6.6 ms input lag at 120Hz as measured by rtings. It's not 1 ms like a gaming monitor but I'll happily take an additional five-thousandths of a second of input lag in exchange for a much bigger display.
I appreciate the vid. I know next to nothing about street fighter. Glad the devs introduced modern controls cause I tried classic and it was too complicated for me. These tips will actually help me improve
Wont make u good half time u wont know what moves are doing and top of that 20 percent lover dmg i beat evry modern with basic moves and one easy combo realy bad
@@Demon0228 no u are nerfed down try same combo on modern and again try same one on clasic i beat everyone who plays modern easy and im not that good noob actualy learning now frame data
Just earned a new sub from me. This was very informative and I love that you are using Kimberly. She will be my main followed by DJ. Everything you listed makes perfect since. Didn't know about that instant drive impact so using that today. If you can, could you show some tech and best practices for Kim against grapplers like Menon and Zangief? I play arcade mode on hard and hardest to improve execution and find those two very difficult to overcome for Kim. Thanks again for the content!
Maybe this was already asked, but does anyone have tips for improving combo execution? I assume you just have to practice a lot, but I feel like I have some bad habits ingrained already (spamming buttons instead of being precise with inputs is prob my main issue). For example - I really like the HP > QCF HP > Drive Rush > Target combo > QCP LP > Super combo. I see Diaphone hit it super consistently I but have serious issues either getting drive rush to link or to use the right version of target combo. I'm mostly just running the combo trial for it over and over at 50% but feels like I'm hitting a wall. Just curious is there is anything special or fancy I should be doing or if I just need to grind/git gud.
Exact same boat. My tips are: Use the two buttons instead of the trigger buttons for the drive rush. Mash the LP as soon as you see the drive rush work and then use MP. You have some time before you need to 2HP so don't do it too quickly. That is why always mess up. I am too fast. After this it's easy. I think I get it about 50% in matches but about 80% in lab.
bro first fucking step and hes already answered a question i had. I never got how streamers i liked got the instant driver rush without cancelling a normal, or making it super telegraphed with the parry animation. Ty Diaphone
when he said the last tip was to have fun, and then he followed up with "so ive done a lot of research" i thought he was gonna say he has done a lot of research on how to have fun lmao
Good tips. Thanks. Been playing fighters a long time & hope to get this. Watching general vids like this, & top players using who I hope to main/sub til I can get the game.
Thank you for the tips, first Street Fighter game I've played in over 10 years and I'm so far behind. Right now my biggest problems are hit confirming on Drive Rush and the double QCF LP for level 3.
Nice content as always... Can you make a video about execution on D-Pad? I'm having troubles with special cancels, buffers, shortcuts... It would be nice. Thx for the content.
I feel you there,I come from Smash and a little bit of Strive, with very little Street Fighter experience and the timing on links felt weird to me too. I'm now starting to get the hang of it, but I can only get like 5 hit combos at max, but I'm kinda learning on the fly
Ive always loved the idea of fighting games even when i was a kid with SF2 and MK1, but I was always total garbage. I got SF6 as a gift and ill be keeping an eye on your vids to help me along the way.
dude same here, i’ve played a couple fighting games since i was a kid but i always ended up button smashing bc learning combos seemed a little hard. 26 now and im actually going to commit to learning this lol gonna prepare myself for MK
Considering the importance of drive rush that also might be a good idea to switch DI and parry buttons for dualshock users. Trigger range of motion makes it harder to perform precise inputs like perfect parries and drive rush cancels.
I bought SF6 coming from playing DBFZ, and it's so hard to adapt, the only character that has aerial combos is Chun Li, but i don't like charge attack characters. Idk what to do
There are some great tips in this video! Thank you for sharing! I have one question. In your video, you had said something akin to how you would react to things slower if you play the game on a bigger television. If that is true, why would that be the case?
I finally finished the ken combo trials, and i want to add some of the combos to my gameplay, but theres so many i dont know what to choose. Honestly, I probably wouldn't be able to do any of the combos in a match at the moment. I want to pick the best combos and practice them to the point that i will do them without really thinking about it when i need to. I did that in mvc 3 but it was only one combo necause of the way that game worked. You could finish a match with one combo. Im rambling. I guess my question is which ken combos are worth adding to my tool belt.
one issue i can say i have with anti airing is i’m used to games that when i jump i can block the attack so i gotta get back used not being able to block in the air
Hey Dia and chat, you guys got any tips on landing Drive Rush mid combo? I feel it still hard(even tho I'm almost 1 hour in the lab training with Cammy), but I cant land consistently the st HP into Drive Rush properly.
@@giogiorno2 Practice it with harder hitting normals first, at least those that can be cancelled into DR - like Hard/Fierce Punch, for example, as it typically leaves you with the largest amount of active frames on-hit, basically giving you all day to hit Forward, Forward into DR. Frankly, just mash the dash input after hitting the st HP and then start to vary when you perform the input until you get a feel for where the sweet spot is. Once you're used to doing it off of Fierece, you can learn how to do it off of Mediums and Jab/Short, too, if your character has access to it.
The best tip I ever gotten was to not focus so hard on winning but on the things that you did in the match. Sometimes you do a combo you've been practicing for a while and even if you lost, you still managed to land it in a match. There are small W's in the L's and learning to take those is a big step to improving.
Yep. You don't get better by winning a lot - you get better by losing and figuring out WHY you lost. Is there a bad habit you need to break? Are you being predictable? How's your meter management? Was there something your foe was doing that you didn't have an answer for?
Being able to answer questions like that - even if it means a trip to Training Mode for a bit - is how you get better. It can be tough, but the key is to not get tilted when you lose. And if you ARE getting tilted, take a break. Do some Extreme battles in the hub, or work on your World Tour character for a bit or something until you've calmed down.

If you use a special cancelable move, like Kimberlys, standing medium, kick and,you double tap forward, you would do a instant drive rush (on hit whether they’re blocking or not)
Or you can just parry on hit and it does the same thing if you have trouble with 6->6 like I do
You can also do a neutral jump instead of a shimmy to bait throws. It is beaten by some reversals but it removes the possibility of you not walking back enough and getting thrown out of your shimmy
It makes me incredibly happy knowing that one of the best FG and SF6 specifically players suggest something that I was able to discover on my own. I'M NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT
So much value in this video. Started following you a few months ago and all of the content has been great!
Everything you touch is gold! Happy where playing the same game again. Hope I become stronger enough to play you.
I like to play a few unranked matches before play ranked matches. Playing unranked puts you against platinum or master players and this gives you confidence and experience. Also, its good to warm up before ranked matches.
Thanks for using Kimberly bro. After trying a lot of the characters she’s the one I like to play with the most. This video is incredibly helpful
I'm new to fighting games outside of Smash Bros, and this has been a really helpful video as I start my SF journey. Thanks!
Something to add to the parry fireballs section is that if you perfect parry them you can get a free drive rush from it if you’re within range.
Love the vids, such a positive influence on the community.
These tips are great. Struggling against my friends right now and just really want to get to a point where I'm not consistently losing. Liked and subscribed. Thanks for the info.
Good video! Really sound advice! I'm in my early 40s and have played since the beginning, and I learned a thing or two. Subscribed right away!
These tips are amazing and they’ve helped me in my ranked journey so much! (I’ve never played any street fighter games in my life)
Thanks for the video! I felt at a pretty good position of the game but you helped simplify and shape my perspective in the approach. Im doing my first tournament on the 15th!
Appreciate your efforts!
Amazing content as always!
almost all of the downsides to burnout are defensive, or defensive + offensive, so if you're in burnout you should go unga instead of turtling up
Thanks for the tips !
Thank you for these tips! This video was very helpful Di! :)
I love your content and energy, thank you, have a great day bro!
This is my first street fighter game, I have dabbled in other games like guilty gear and tekken but this is the first one of I don't wanna give up within a week, your videos have been great for helping me learn and keep the right mindset when playing, Rn I am playing classic chun li and man I gotta say its tough been smacked by everyone but having a ton of fun trying to get better.
This is truly fantastic! Thank you!
Great video man. Really good tips.
Great video, keep the content flowing
Quality video mate cheers
7:40 Newer big TVs have a gaming mode that turns off some processing to minimise latency. My 2019 65-inch LG has 6.6 ms input lag at 120Hz as measured by rtings. It's not 1 ms like a gaming monitor but I'll happily take an additional five-thousandths of a second of input lag in exchange for a much bigger display.
Cheers for this vid. Good tips and useful info.
One of my favorite fgc youtubers, thanks for the vids!
Thanks for the tips, especially the shimmying one
I appreciate the vid. I know next to nothing about street fighter. Glad the devs introduced modern controls cause I tried classic and it was too complicated for me. These tips will actually help me improve
Wont make u good half time u wont know what moves are doing and top of that 20 percent lover dmg i beat evry modern with basic moves and one easy combo realy bad
@@danijelkotur1720 you can still do classic inputs with modern on and not lose the damage lol.
@@Demon0228 no u are nerfed down try same combo on modern and again try same one on clasic i beat everyone who plays modern easy and im not that good noob actualy learning now frame data
@@danijelkotur1720 no he’s right, you can still do classic inputs on modern controls without losing damage. that’s if you’re actually using the input
Great tips! I played sfv towards the end but im def trying to get better for 6!
Love these videos my dude 😎
every beginners guide i watch is like at step 10 when im still at step 3
Thanks, I've been on a crazy win streak/ lose streak trap for days.this should help me
Thank you for this! Subscribed
Just earned a new sub from me. This was very informative and I love that you are using Kimberly. She will be my main followed by DJ. Everything you listed makes perfect since. Didn't know about that instant drive impact so using that today. If you can, could you show some tech and best practices for Kim against grapplers like Menon and Zangief? I play arcade mode on hard and hardest to improve execution and find those two very difficult to overcome for Kim. Thanks again for the content!
Maybe this was already asked, but does anyone have tips for improving combo execution? I assume you just have to practice a lot, but I feel like I have some bad habits ingrained already (spamming buttons instead of being precise with inputs is prob my main issue).
For example - I really like the HP > QCF HP > Drive Rush > Target combo > QCP LP > Super combo. I see Diaphone hit it super consistently I but have serious issues either getting drive rush to link or to use the right version of target combo.
I'm mostly just running the combo trial for it over and over at 50% but feels like I'm hitting a wall. Just curious is there is anything special or fancy I should be doing or if I just need to grind/git gud.
Exact same boat. My tips are:
Use the two buttons instead of the trigger buttons for the drive rush. Mash the LP as soon as you see the drive rush work and then use MP. You have some time before you need to 2HP so don't do it too quickly. That is why always mess up. I am too fast. After this it's easy. I think I get it about 50% in matches but about 80% in lab.
your tutorial is by far the best

“Hey TH-cam, this is the iPhone”
Just got sf6 and ready to put these to work thanks for the video
You're great, Thanks! Will do.
I never lost for Dhalsim or Kimberly on ranked matches. But my difficult is Ken, a lot of players play really good with Ken.
Fantastic tips, thank you.
Kimberly is a dope remix of guy! Love it.
I learn by picking the character with the least options until I do well with them, then to work my way up to my fave
great video!
This is an amazing vid. 😊
A lot of good stuff here - ty.
bro first fucking step and hes already answered a question i had. I never got how streamers i liked got the instant driver rush without cancelling a normal, or making it super telegraphed with the parry animation. Ty Diaphone
Good to see ya on the SF6 train and starting on time unlike SF5 run back xD
when he said the last tip was to have fun, and then he followed up with "so ive done a lot of research" i thought he was gonna say he has done a lot of research on how to have fun lmao
Good tips. Thanks.
Been playing fighters a long time & hope to get this.
Watching general vids like this, & top players using who I hope to main/sub til I can get the game.
Salute on the tip fam 🫡 #BestFightingGameHandsDown #SF6
Thank you for the tips, first Street Fighter game I've played in over 10 years and I'm so far behind. Right now my biggest problems are hit confirming on Drive Rush and the double QCF LP for level 3.
Good tips, I’m liking the SF6 journey.
love your tips good vid
You left out the greatest tip of all time, which is when you lose, blame lag and then send your opponent hate mail telling them they’re trash.
coming from only playing anime fighters, street fighter feels like throw simulator 🤣 but its still a blast and ive been having a great time!
Yeah, throw cancels are pretty tough to pull off
You touched base on a lot of good stuff. Not bad at all.
Learning how to combo off of punishes is also really important.
Nice content as always... Can you make a video about execution on D-Pad? I'm having troubles with special cancels, buffers, shortcuts... It would be nice. Thx for the content.
My biggest issue is learning the timing on combo links and integrating drive rush between hits, I can’t seem to connect consistently.
I feel you there,I come from Smash and a little bit of Strive, with very little Street Fighter experience and the timing on links felt weird to me too. I'm now starting to get the hang of it, but I can only get like 5 hit combos at max, but I'm kinda learning on the fly
@@UltimateTS64 yup mk mostly for me, definately different, does feel rewarding when you do hit a combo tho
@@killamole2188 for sure even a basic combo feels like you just performed a feat 😂
Channel always gives premium content
My tip is watch the replays of your own matches. You can tell what's wrong by yourself most of the time.
Ive always loved the idea of fighting games even when i was a kid with SF2 and MK1, but I was always total garbage. I got SF6 as a gift and ill be keeping an eye on your vids to help me along the way.
dude same here, i’ve played a couple fighting games since i was a kid but i always ended up button smashing bc learning combos seemed a little hard. 26 now and im actually going to commit to learning this lol gonna prepare myself for MK
such great videos
Hi, do you plan on making a Kimberly guide on her usual gamplan and how to use her strengths efficiently? Nice video 💯
You rock thanks!
Considering the importance of drive rush that also might be a good idea to switch DI and parry buttons for dualshock users. Trigger range of motion makes it harder to perform precise inputs like perfect parries and drive rush cancels.
Input manually feels like the most fluid way
I bought SF6 coming from playing DBFZ, and it's so hard to adapt, the only character that has aerial combos is Chun Li, but i don't like charge attack characters. Idk what to do
The jumping can really take someone out of guard if you jump over them but you only have a split second to take use of that
Im not gonna lie i came for tips but the way Kimberly swings her hips is so captivating
There are some great tips in this video! Thank you for sharing! I have one question. In your video, you had said something akin to how you would react to things slower if you play the game on a bigger television. If that is true, why would that be the case?
nothing to do w the video but i love how youtube finishes playing ads before the video itself has loaded
Love the videos man. I’m curious do you play on 1080 p or 1440? I heard the former is better for input lag?
I finally finished the ken combo trials, and i want to add some of the combos to my gameplay, but theres so many i dont know what to choose. Honestly, I probably wouldn't be able to do any of the combos in a match at the moment. I want to pick the best combos and practice them to the point that i will do them without really thinking about it when i need to. I did that in mvc 3 but it was only one combo necause of the way that game worked. You could finish a match with one combo. Im rambling. I guess my question is which ken combos are worth adding to my tool belt.
I play on a 55 inch tv but jt runs at 50hz so i didnt have any issue during the beta
Great vid
one issue i can say i have with anti airing is i’m used to games that when i jump i can block the attack so i gotta get back used not being able to block in the air
Does shimmying work on Manon or will she still grab you?
Hey Dia and chat, you guys got any tips on landing Drive Rush mid combo? I feel it still hard(even tho I'm almost 1 hour in the lab training with Cammy), but I cant land consistently the st HP into Drive Rush properly.
You prolly figured it out already but just in case just press forward forward after a drive rush cancellable button
@@casualgamerdad2878 I do not want to disclose how long it took me to learn this in the beta lol
@@casualgamerdad2878 I know about it but the Drive Rush doesn't always comes out :/
@@giogiorno2 Practice it with harder hitting normals first, at least those that can be cancelled into DR - like Hard/Fierce Punch, for example, as it typically leaves you with the largest amount of active frames on-hit, basically giving you all day to hit Forward, Forward into DR. Frankly, just mash the dash input after hitting the st HP and then start to vary when you perform the input until you get a feel for where the sweet spot is. Once you're used to doing it off of Fierece, you can learn how to do it off of Mediums and Jab/Short, too, if your character has access to it.
@@_Jay_Maker_ If u talking about a neutral drive rush, do the parry earlier than u need to
