Execution is what ive struggled with the most (combination of always having had these problems in games no matter the genre and also switching from modern to classic), hopefully this can help me actually land a decent combo on purpose instead of by sheer luck lol
Great video! Inputs are currently my major problem in-game that prevents me from hit confirming amongst other things. I switched to a Fight Box from a console controller and even after all the hours of training I improved, but the drawbacks were: 1. Unintuitive movement direction, especially for jumping. 2. More fingers involved with inputs that can get you fuzzy headed and stumbling over yourself to input the proper, long chain of commands after a thorough training session. 3. Sometimes in game I noticed that I would hold down on a button rather than release which would mess up inputs vs. a d-pad that requires thumb rotation off the given direction. 4. Having to use weaker and less coordinated fingers for important buttons while keeping the intuitive light to heavy layout which reduces reactions to DI. I have decided to switch back to console controllers, but not the generic PS5 because the inputs are hit and miss, the d-pad is terrible for quarter circles and DP inputs, and the d-pad is so easy to press down on that you can accidentally jump. So I had to research different controllers to meet all my requirements and I will be testing my new controller this week when it arrives. The quality of the tool really matters to provide a solid foundation to build upon.
100% agree the tool is super important. A nice fightstick (rap 4 kai or even the quanba drone is a good entry level) is leagues of difference from a mayflash f300 or similar. The cheaper ones tend to break often and you'll end up spending MORE money on cheap sticks than investing a little more upfront to get a slightly nicer one. I haven't played on pad much, I know there's a bunch who play on base ps4 controller rather than ps5. A lot of people are also starting to use the victrix pro bfg, if you're looking for a nice controller I've heard incredibly good recommendations for it from other fighting game players. Leverless controllers are nice because you probably already have one (keyboard) and if not you can get one for really cheap compared to the other two options. I switched to these from fightstick mainly because it's way easier to carry around at tournaments and put in my carry-on for flying. Imo it's definitely the one with the steepest learning curve though.
One thing that troubles me to this day is inputting fireball after forward walking and getting a dp. Most commonly when doing 2mk>236p I kinda wish there was a setting where dp's only come out when you end on or hold 3.
I switched from arcade stick (had to sell it for an emergency) back to the pad. I still feel like a cripple occasionally (I main Guile, go figure) as my movement is further hindered, the boom loops tire my fingers out quite quickly, or my hands will sometimes freeze on anti airs/I will sometimes forget my buttons placement in tense situations even though I have somewhat gotten used to the mapping I have chosen.
@@LeeZard27 I switched from stick to leverless around 4 months ago and I still feel like I would be better on stick sometimes. Don’t worry though, if you keep practicing you’ll get more and more comfortable, and eventually, it’ll feel just as good as playing on stick.
True!! Probably my 2nd favorite genre of games. Getting a 1cc is so satisfying and it’s nice to have an objective way to see how much you’ve improved lol
Yeah! Go to reversal settings, and under block reversal, set your opponent to do whatever attack you'd like. Then press square (light punch for me) and change the count setting to however many times you want them to block.
I'll give the shmup a try. Also can you do a vid on combos tutorials and confirm hits on combo mode like the trials. I have not seen a vid like that yet. What you did with ken was great. ✌🏾
I could do one breaking down more specific parts of execution, and breaking down some more advanced combos! First though, I want to finish this fundamentals 101 series and have 4 planned videos left.
@@nicholasarana1555 those ones are super tough, I can’t think of anything else in the game that really feels like it. Reminds me a bit of doing Karin’s tenko or orochi in street fighter 5
I watched this and realised how much I’ve learned over the years of playing fighting games, like the whole time watching this, I was thinking this is common knowledge. I was lowkey hoping for some shortcuts I didn’t know.
It's crazy how much knowledge we just accumulate over time, without ever really realizing it. I wanted to start off this channel making content for beginner-intermediate players, and after my fundamentals series is done, I'm wanting to make a bit more advanced content.
@@The.Rat.99 i didn’t mean in a bad way my dude XD I was just surprised seeing a video about common stuff people do in the fgs. I’ll definitely be sending this video, whenever a bring a friend into a fighting game. And for shortcuts, I’ll give u one, a fast way to do a dp on pad is to double tap df, this even works while crouching.
@@Shorins22 frfr years ago I thought doing a simple ewgf, kbd ect was impossible, now I’m playing multiple fighting games, and hitting ranks I never dreamed on hitting. Next stage for me is to go to locals and really get into the fgc.
@@yoshitsune5691 I feel you on that lol, I started in 2016 and I thought I would never be able to do karin's just frame tenko consistently, kbd, or instant airdash. If i could go back then and tell myself I would be doing well in my locals, going to majors, and would end up hitting 1900 mr (not that I would know what that was lol), I wouldn't believe myself. I'm making these because I wish I had something like these videos back then. I've consistently had more fun the stronger I've become in these games, and I hope that I can share that joy with other people.

1:44 bro saw me doing this down the hall and had to throw it in the video

very good video thanks
This video advised me so much thanks!!

Bro I literally just cleared mushi on original wtf. Fighting games and shmups go so well together it’s a shame more people aren’t into them

Is there a way in sf6 training mode you can get the dummy to do an attack after x number of blocks?
Yeah! Go to reversal settings, and under block reversal, set your opponent to do whatever attack you'd like. Then press square (light punch for me) and change the count setting to however many times you want them to block.

Struggling with Chun Li's serenity stream cancel combos. Switched from ps4 controller to keyboard and it's easier but still challenging

Okay but how do I beat mena?
I wish I knew
Answer you don't lol
He use ps5 controller so i don't think is the controller
I play some arcade games with my stick and 2D platformers like Megaman
Along with difficult but fun fg trials like KoF 13 or Blazblue
@@bearnip I love KoF!
