Vhozite Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Wtf is going on with DeeJay’s overhead f.mk? It’s plus on block, gives a combo on hit, reaches far, and AA’s lol. The only weakness is that it hits a frame or two slower than other overheads. Here is a comparison: Deejay f.mk: 22f (first frame it can hit crouching) startup, +6 on hit (+5 standing), +1 on block - Juri f.mk: 21f startup, +2 on hit, -3 on block - Ryu/Guile f.mp: 20f start, +2 on hit, -3 on block - Manon OD Degage: 23f (hits crouching), +6/7 on hit, -3 on block - Marisa charged df.hp: 31f startup, +5 on hit, +2 on block It’s only marginally slower than the avg overheads yet is comparable on contact to a Marisa charged heavy or Manon burning meter… Pair of Rooks and Volt 2 Quote Link to comment

ToreyBeans Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 So now that I'm pretty much done with World Tour and Arcade, I'm legitimately tryna learn the game as of last week. Right now I'm learning Ryu to get my feet wet. But I can't help but feel like maybe the learning curve is steeper than at least SF5? Reacting to and countering DI, DR combos and getting the perfect parry timing is gonna take time. I'm hanging back on ranked until I get a handle on this stuff.

There is definitely more to learn than in 5 but don’t overwhelm yourself trying to do it all at once. The most important things are to learn your character and get used to countering DI. The rest isn’t immediately necessary. Shakunetsu, TWINBLADES, Mattatsu and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
delete_me Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I'd argue that you should try to incorporate at least a very basic DR BnB into your early learning process. It's such an integral part of the game that getting it into your muscle memory as soon as possible will help you in the long run. It doesn't have to be some fancy juggle stuff, but I think Ryu has some easy medium -> medium -> DR -> medium links just to get a hang of the mechanic.

Maravilla Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The main issue with ryu to me isn't that ken does everything better etc. it's that his denjin charge or whatever you call it almost feels like a nerf, I remember reading somewhere that it actually makes ryu worse in a way because you lose pressure,oki,etc. by stocking it.

Yeah Denjin is terrible and easily the worst “resource” in the game. The opportunity cost to stock it is super high (loss of time/reposition/oki) and for your trouble your reward is wasting it on a poke that probably won’t do anything or losing access to one of your best pokes so you get to run better offense. Jaime also has to give up something to drink, but he also stays buffed for the entire round AND has a super that gives him temporary max level. The strange thing is that the other characters who have stores that buff multiple moves (Lily, Juri) can stack up to 3 at once while ryu only gets 1. Those characters also have attacks attack to their stores lol. Honda only can hold one sumo spirit, but unlike Ryu he doesn’t have to manage what move he uses it force since it only buffs HHS.

If anyone has pointers I'll take what I can get! Your base fundamentals from SFV should carry you enough. I'm Diamond 1 and I literally don't know anything have 0 set ups and 0 neutral. I'm just spamming shit. Don't worry about trying to perfect parry everything and don't feel bad about getting stuck in the corner. These are the top things that will carry you regardless of who you play. Make sure to learn how to counter DI spam. DI interactions can be weird and won't always make sense in the moment. A good example is when someone will hit you with a normal on block and confirm into Drive Rush. If you DI right when they do that they'll have enough time to DI back. Don't DI jump ins because you'll always lose that interaction unless you're a fucking god. Don't worry about having the crispiest DR confirms. You'll get yourself killed trying to be swaggy. Just play the game like you would SFV and focus on 1 primary Drive Rush combo. Take the throw fuck what anyone says getting shimmied in this game is worse than SFV (I'm partially joking) Pick Lily and spam EX condor spire so you don't have to actually engage with the system. Just let that shit go brrrrrrrr and watch people fail to Perfect Parry that sucka Depending on how good you were in SFV that should either carry you to Plat 1-4 or Diamond 1. After that you gotta know what the fuck is going on because the Diamond grind is brutal. Mattatsu, Sonero and ToreyBeans 1 2 Quote Link to comment
Vhozite Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Yeah I didn’t bother learning anything related to drive rush or parry until I hit Diamond.

Sonero Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 12 minutes ago, ToreyBeans said: I appreciate solid advice, and I also love the chaos of the memes! This game has some really frustrating parts to it that take some getting used to. This is due to how the drive system works directly or indirectly. The two big ones to get out of the way: everything is negative and people walk back quickly. Everything is basically negative in this game: Everybody in this game has the same basic frame trap outside of Drive Rush. This is important to understand because it means people are going to constantly hit buttons every time they block something. Some characters can commit to a frame trap with a cancel, but if you block all of it they'll be negative (sometimes punishable). Get all around mentally prepared for the fact that there is going to be an inhuman amount of mashing By Design. They want people to be able to do this. Jab chains are the frame trap everybody gets. You can tick throw one St.Lp/cr.lp but you aren't during it because you have an advantage. You get away with it because usually characters can link into mediums from a CH St.LP/Cr.LP. One important thing to keep in mind is that doing Jab walk back to try to shimmy is a terrible idea. Throw ranges are deceptively large in this game. Point blank jab walk back will get you thrown. So you get Jab, Jab as a blockstring done quickly to frame trap or jab throw quickly to tick throw/tech your opponent trying to throw you. Another thing to keep in mind is that If a jab and a throw were to happen on the same frame, the jab wins. So you don't really get a true tick throw unless you're at +2. This is why Drive Rush in is so powerful. That's one of the few ways somebody is making actually hold a real strike/throw situation. This also means that depending on how they DR in (neutral or from a cancel) you can decide whether to drive reversal (2 drive meter to get rid of 3 is not a bad deal). People walk back super fast: This one takes a a bit of getting used to TBH. Because its similar to the SF5 situation in that people would stay stand blocking thing they had good footsies when it was really the game letting them be fraudulent. Its kind of compounded in that you can't really hit confirm from cr.mks (this was done on purpose). So the good news is that if somebody DR canceled a cr.mk, they were making a read/buffering but weren't hit confirming. So you don't have to worry about that. But the back walkspeeds does mean is that disengaging is really strong. The right thing to do, and what your opponent is going to want to do is to start walking back after blocking two normals. If they aren't mashing, they are usually doing this. If they like walking back and you're semi close, doing cr.lp, cr.lp, cr.mk as a string is really helpful. Its all negative but you'll be using it to dissuade people from just moonwalking away at all times. This is also why (I wanna say most of the cast) can combo from cr.lk into jabs xx special. You can just catch people trying to walk back all the time (particularly on wake up). This is also why you see some people do Drive Rush Cr.mk in neutral at random. Some characters can link from DR Cr.MK on hit. So you can easily see if it hit/block and go along accordingly. Either way, sometimes they're just going to walk away. When they do, accept it'll be a long walk to get them cornered and just relax. Same if they get out of the corner. Its silly but its the game. Go in there understand dudes just walk back fast and its kind of a pain. Anyways, more tips later. Mattatsu, JustBooming and ToreyBeans 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Ah yes another clip of JP spending more meter than he actually has to ape someone. I’m really not sure what to blame here. On the one hand I think the meter meter system is flawed when someone can spend 6 bars of Drive on 4 drive rushes in one sequence despite starting with only 2.5 blocks. On the other hand, I see JP in these cracked out “lol meter management?” clips more than any other character so I’m not sure how much of the problem is him specifically. Quote Link to comment
