I love you man

It’s helpful to know the neutral but if slayer manages to get in at any point he has a bunch of block mix from p dandy

I had yu so wrong , I’m subscribing now , great build here . I couldn’t have asked for anything better !

Congrats you just maked them mildly inconvenience in natural game, still wins off 1 cheap encounter

Hey can you talk about potemkin? like general tips, neutral, set ups, his best moves to use while approaching, etc? i’ve reached celestial with him a few times but i keep facing potemkins who do crazy things and kara’s super easy on controller. Any advice would be very appreciated 🙏

big fan of this, strategy based on spacing feels easiest for me to implement, i much prefer getting this over info on small scale interactions and rps scenarios on that note do you have any advice for where bridget should aim to stand vs axl lol

thank you very much for this! do you have anything to say about his dandy offense? obv it's all fake and mashable and reactable but he can frametrap pilebunker off of level 4s and when he has meter thats a guard crush 50/50, playing asuka and just having to hold that feels awful and like im missing something

I made the same red light green light analogy in my notes for a feature in training mode fgs need

Hotashi says Slayer is a sack of shit character. Hotashi releases this video. He's like the opposite of a Ken player

My issue with Slayer is them doing a near full screen K mappa and also the "free" mixup from dandy followups. I think his offense is actually pretty strong since he has quite a few in built methods to open you up. Maybe im missing something.

Completely ignoring his 5k is insane. One of the best 5ks in the game

6:40 but what about when they're really good at spacing it? Against some Slayers, i either trade or even get counterhit when we both go for 2P afterward 😢

it's a helpful and good video but idk if this is really a defense guide

Cave story music hell yea

i dont mean this to be rude, but anyone could have found counterplay to slayer by playing against slayer for 20 plus minutes

This is what I needed🙏 thx as always hotashi

What is the music playing in the background?

I disagree with the assertion that slayer's command grab is the only/ main thing that makes his offense scary but it does make it much scarier

You glorious mofo, thank you. Also, my bitchass wasn't subscribed so now I am.

this is nice. even outside the context of slayer I think this teaches me a lot about how to approach studying/labbing matchups that I struggle with to actually come up with a gameplan

Me as slayer player seeing this and thinking how I can crush the green zone with 2s, kara p.mappa, walk 2D to get trades for a knockdown and p.mappa follow to get oki, 5H to crush f.S, K.dandy follow up mixups and 6K. Thanks Hotashi.

This video basically confirmed to me that the common slayer offense is fake as hell and my opponents getting hit deserve it

All that just to die in two hits (on a real note ty).

Another thing worth to point out though, It's hard to bully a Slayer on distance if he counts with meter, he can just Super Mappa Hunch from the other side of the map and that thing is an instant punish if timed right, you get insta cornered and a lot of damage from just one bar

As a Slayer main I'm torn... On the one hand, more counterplay means more people will actually be willing to fight me. On the other, I've had a few people play like this already, just constantly spacing me out with FS, 6P and fireballs and it SUCKS...

I was there when it happened but I will keep it for reference

thanks for labbing Slayer defense for me

Disliking this so i can get to celestial

I guess his shadow is a good way to keep distance in mind 🤔

Hell yes thanks for this. Btw can we get one of these for Johnny? All the top players say he's bad and that you just have to learn the knowledge checks, but man that dude wrecks me all the time and his dustloop page didn't have counterplay the last time I checked.

Content like this is golden. Not only this gave me an understanding for what to watch for when playing VS slayer, but I can use this template when formulating a plan against other MUs. Thanks Hotashi - Onedollaand5cent

"how does slayer get through fireball fireball fireball" While its true he suffers against that early in the round it stops being the case when he has 50 meter. His reversal super is incredibly obnoxious.

Be careful in the green zone too. That’s the range where slayer can whiff punish your farther reaching moves with a 5k into buffered mapa

HOTASH MY GOAT MY LIFE IS YOURS

Fax my brother! Spit your shit indeed! 👏

Wait, is Slayer's 2H{?} low invincible on frame 1?

For me?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THX MY GOAT, I WAS DESTROYING MYSELF LABING THIS MATCHUP

Thank you hotashi. I will proceed to use none of this

Just know for this vid alone you got so much street cred with me and my friends, all me homies hate slayer and now we can finally fight fair vs them.

damn a vid about slayer that talks about his weaknesses and doesn't treat him as an unstoppable god, wild how rare that is

good video

Delete this I need to make it into celestial

thanks!

thx

hotashi how could you my gimmicks can't cheese tournaments anymore 😭

Nice eastern kingdom of mikado theme

6:09 translation "Oops I got outplayed and now my opponent is getting rewarded for playing well" also do Bridget next! You hovered her like 3 times, I wanna hear you talk about she can make you just loses through no fault of your own "oops you got hit by a 5 frame low and now have to hold a looping mix that she gets 2 chances on per hard knockdown? Oop you got hit her 1/3 screen low and now she's in your face running pressure on you? Oop you got hit by wakeup dp rc and now you're being carried from wall to wall"

Excellent bgm choices 👌🏾
