Video took super long to make because I tried a new way to record footage to make things go faster...it instead doubled how long the edit took 😭 Anyhow - to re-iterate, the example detailed in the video is from like 6-7 months ago, so the examples are probably not exact to how strider plays now and maybe I got to some wrong conclusions, but hopefully y'all still get some understanding of the general process I like to take when studying players🙏
trying to speed things up while only making them take longer - i think we've all been there xD also, quick suggestion - im no content creator but from a viewers perspective: it'd be real cool if this and the past videos were more obviously tagged as a series i mean think about it, in half a year when theres maybe 7 of theese someone watches a random one - not realising theres an order to them! someone completely new to the genre of fighting games (or just a scrub like me) would definitely benefit from watching all this in order 🤔 maybe some catchy title like... "Labbing made easy" or "How to train your brain" just spitting out ideas 😂
@@pills_dk I think a lot of content creators underutilize linking in the video description. Even going back to the old video and throwing a link to this one in it. I know you put a tag inside this video, but honestly those can be annoying sometimes - especially if I did something like leave this tab open to remind me to go watch the other one. A link on hand will encourage clicks and views.
Yessssss, this is the way! There’s been a weird stigma in mid-level play _for literally decades_ against players who will start using a tactic without already understanding why it works, and that’s ALWAYS been silly, because using the tactic helps you figure out why it works!!
At mid level it's definitely silly to be stigmatized. You get taught by a teacher to do and apply math you don't just look at an equation and write down until your answer says correct. Unless you're aiming to be the top dog and are already at the tip of the mountain that's when you start in innovating.
As a Plat Marisa main who's looking for ways to improve these videos have been invaluable. I crushed the opposition in gold and win streaked all the way to plat but quickly realized my pretty basic gameplan just wasn't cutting it anymore. now I need to dive deeper into the character and the game itself. Im hoping that by watching videos from players like 801 strider, Big Bird, and now you I can really accelerate my climb.
this is maybe one of the best educational vids on fighting games ive ever seen. you covered so much so briefly and showed how to use training mode well so naturally! insanely impressive stuff
A true Diamond 💎 in the rough, being all smaller channels in sf that want to get big. So many small channels fail because you can see the lack of effort or quality or experience. You sir, this video is an incredible for this small of a channel. Good Analysis is so much better than someone’s “analysis” but it’s just a stream VOD. This really goes in depth. Love it. Subscribed.
These are the best videos. I'm loving watching your journey in Street Fighter 6. And all the stuff that you're teaching us will roll over into any new fighters we pick up. These are great, and you are awesome
this video is so well made and the information is so solid, especially for Marisa players. You should maybe continue this video for other pros and characters, i could see them popping off
You just earned yourself a big ol' SMACK on the subscribe button. I think it's amazing that you took the time on your own to actually do some critical thinking, labbing, and analysis of your own gameplay, as well as the gameplay of the best players to level yourself up. People often complain that devs need to do more to teach people how to get better, but there is only so much they CAN do. The onus is on the players to get better. This is a wonderful example of how to do that, and it illustrates that the devs actually DO put a lot of amazing tools in the game for us to learn and get better.
Your reaction vid was really good and I've been using it to practice almost daily. I still suck at reacting but maybe one day I'll have my AAs on point. Nice vid bro!
yeah i was REALLY bad at those drills for a while. TBH i still struggle with them sometimes even with just 2 recordings on when i'm tired or bad head space 🤣
Thank you! You are the Best I love how you break everything down in a way that's easily understandable and turn them into exercises that are manageable!... Can't wait to apply this to my game. Side note don't wear green when making a vid☺
Thought the video was good quality and enjoying it, heard the Radiata stories music and fucking LEAPED, instant sub, unashamed to admit it. Game was my childhood, and still in my top 5. That and the video was great, informative, and well put together, with a great flow through your point.
FINALLY ANOTHER SOUL THAT KNOWS - you actually might be the first person in my life i've interacted with that played that game!!! Making custom combos was the sickest thing ever! - also thanks for kind words lol
@@pills_dk YESS, IT'S ME AND YOU LMFAO. So much content, a world that felt so alive despite the time and hardware, the combos like you said, just.... perfection! Fingers crossed we someday get an hd remake but at this point I think teaching myself to mod would be faster 😅
I almost never like or subscribe videos, but for you I have done both and I am commenting. These last three videos you put out are amazing I hope you're able to find the time to do more because you are carrying SF6 tutorial CZcams right now.
Appreciate the video. Confused about the safe jump part 4:51. Are you still jumping in with punch attack and blocking right away to counter his ex dp? I can't tell if yuure jumping in and holding block or are you pressing attack then block thank you
Ah yeah, so I’m holding down-back/block as soon as I press the HP during the jump until I land. And because if they block or get hit, it happens while I’m in the air anyways, I try to react to follow up from confirming that, but yeah otherwise holding block all the way thru landing
It should be said that people shouldn't be ashamed of copying/learning by watching better players it is what every pro does to learn the game, you aren't gonna be a wizard and come up with everything on your own, you gotta watch others play.
Im glad it ended up being strider, this guy is an anomaly of a marissa player. He seems like the most neutral heavy mariss in the world. So maybe you see something Im missing as a non marissa player
i'd say my reaction is average. While i naturally tend to play a passive playstyle, for marisa at the point i was when i did the exercise, it was due to having built up to master from just doing neutral reaction drills and practicing spacing lololol. Eventually i started being more proactive in neutral, but yeah
also - incoming fanboyism: holy heck dude I honestly love the way you explain your own thought process in a meaningfull and proper teaching way I know content creation is a lot of work as I dabbled in it myself but I sincerely wish for you the "worst" that can happen to someone starting out - that one of the big guns like j.wong or maxdood spot you, maybe collab with you and your channel blows up from it cause you DESERVE to be heard! (and while i do realise that grinding it out yourself is much more satisfying and all that - in the real world of content creation? collaborations with more popular creators is kind of THE way to grow so... FINGERS CROSSED!)
I played Marisa until Diamond, but gave her up after the A.K.I. buffs because she had some very frustrating things to deal with and because A.K.I. was love at first sight. But I don't wanna stop playing Marisa forever, yet one part of her kit still ruins me to this day: Whenever I press a Heavy, I will randomly add 2 to 4 frames to those moves because of their charging properties. I have to know, does that happen to you? I have whiffed multiple anti-airs and kill combos because of this problem, I just add frames accidentally. It got to the point where I have no confidence on her anymore, I just drop every combo because I freeze when I want to link a combo into Drive Rush Cancel+Back Heavy Punch. Is that just lack of practice? How do I stop accidentally adding 3 frames to my combos? Does that happen to you too?
HAH, it's funny b/c you mentioned one of my pet peeves in fighting games which is characters having chargeable normals! I heavy finger buttons often and have gotten screwed trying to AA with her b/c of that. I started tapping buttons consciously to avoid that and eventually it became less of a problem, tho maybe it's easier b/c i'm using a leverless controller/arcade stick...that said, i've dropped her like 3 times b/c i haaaate hold-down-able normals lol
This js a great video for me because at this age (32), I am never going to be good enough before I die to be kne of tbise to guys who gets a game at launch and creates tech. Ill reach the end of my life always having to look up BnBs and optimal combis and I wouldnt have it any other way. Lol
100%, that's the main way i got better at SF4! It was only in SFV I actually started doing this kind of thing. Mileage may vary, but for me, this + playing good players feels like optimal combo for growth

@@digitalsmear oo that's a good point. tyty
You are an incredible content creator. Destined for big things for sure. I can’t wait to tell all my friends that I was here!
Thank you so much!!! Hopefully big things will happen 🫡

This is an amazing video, it teaches you how to learn from pros and not mindlessly watch their matches and hoping something clicks.
Earned my sub

this is maybe one of the best educational vids on fighting games ive ever seen. you covered so much so briefly and showed how to use training mode well so naturally! insanely impressive stuff
Very good videos you have there! At one point, I was like "please, can you take me to Alderaan so I can learn the way of the Jedi?" xD

I love that you really build it up from 0. I am basically just following your development lmao
super cool vid. glad you're sharing your methods because even long time players need to know as many ways to improve as possible.
These are the best videos. I'm loving watching your journey in Street Fighter 6. And all the stuff that you're teaching us will roll over into any new fighters we pick up.
These are great, and you are awesome
Fantastic video mate, as a Marisa main this opened my eyes a ton
Excellent and very insightful video! Glad I subscribed!
This is a great way to learn, and why watching both pro footage and your own footage.
this video is so well made and the information is so solid, especially for Marisa players. You should maybe continue this video for other pros and characters, i could see them popping off
Maaan such good videos. Keep it up. Big fan of your sf6 content
I really enjoyed watching you figure out how to therapeutically punish the crouching MK punishes! I will also enjoy this, very soon!

the tools the devs added in training mode is mind blowing to me. I still find new stuff LOL
@@pills_dk Agreed. Definitely the best training mode SF has ever had. Now they just need the replay takeover feature from +R. Tekken 8 has it.
ty for the good quality content :)
another banger vid bro. keep it comin.
Your reaction vid was really good and I've been using it to practice almost daily. I still suck at reacting but maybe one day I'll have my AAs on point. Nice vid bro!
yeah i was REALLY bad at those drills for a while. TBH i still struggle with them sometimes even with just 2 recordings on when i'm tired or bad head space 🤣
Excellent content as usual! And nice shirt! 🔥🔥🔥
it's one of my favorite shirts~
Thank you! You are the Best I love how you break everything down in a way that's easily understandable and turn them into exercises that are manageable!... Can't wait to apply this to my game.
Side note don't wear green when making a vid☺
i noticed the shirt like 3/4 of the way thru editting and i was like, "well....shit" 🤣
I like the visual cue of before being washed out. Good video!
I dont know how I randomly stumbled into your channel, but Im glad I did. really like your camera editing work! Stay up champ! subbed
Adding on, Excellent video, and presentation and maybe I pick up marissa, who knows xD
8:09 lol this delivery made me laugh.
Hit em with the nuclear damage..
Dude… your content is right up there with Zach Henke’s!!!
Your vids are great!
Great video!
Definitely stealing “I hit them with the bomb” whenever i play marisa

@@pills_dk ahh ok makes sense. So if it 'hits' you can follow thru with other setups, if not you're still blocking. Thank you

Im glad it ended up being strider, this guy is an anomaly of a marissa player.
He seems like the most neutral heavy mariss in the world.
So maybe you see something Im missing as a non marissa player
Main reason I been a fan since sf4! He played Abel, character known for mixups and pressure, very neutral heavy and stable and I was inspired 😮💨
You should pop in his discord as well. This was just posted a couple days ago and he's always down to talk and help out in there
!!! i didn't know he had discord...tho thaht makes total sense. Will def be checking it out!
Is your reaction time particularly strong or why did you built your gameplan around neutral reactions?
i'd say my reaction is average. While i naturally tend to play a passive playstyle, for marisa at the point i was when i did the exercise, it was due to having built up to master from just doing neutral reaction drills and practicing spacing lololol. Eventually i started being more proactive in neutral, but yeah

Wait what is that txt editing software
Notepad++
It angers me how low your sub count is with how good your content is.
"Marissa"
TO BE FAIR...i recorded the videos BEFORE your correction. I am team "Marissa" now😤
801 subscribers
I missed when it was 801 😩woulda been cool screenshot 💀
said please
I just play Good players till I get close matches or win
100%, that's the main way i got better at SF4! It was only in SFV I actually started doing this kind of thing. Mileage may vary, but for me, this + playing good players feels like optimal combo for growth
nice video, your mic sounds kinda fucked up though. muffled or something
100%, i been talkin with a friend that is an audio person and trying to fix that up for next videos. Hopefully it improves!
It’s time to let them do what? 👀👀👀
Fill you up...With knowledge. 😩
