3D Fighters: 5 PLAYSTYLES That You Should Know

[@ForceofNature99]

Thank You For 5000 Subs! Celebration Time! Merry Christmas! 😉 So... what is your playstyle? Do you like to press many buttons or few buttons? *First time recording on a PS5, excuse the mic quality...

[@NicholasToras01]

You never mentioned in the DOA section what style Brad Wong fits in. Although he's clearly not rush down

[@ForceofNature99]

@@NicholasToras01 Similar to Marie Rose, Brad Wong doesn't neatly fit into any standard playstyle because his neutral game isn't strong. His playstyle is patient mix-up reset pressure.

[@HelicopterShownUp]

Rushdown, turtlin, grapplin, spacin, zonin. Got it.

Merry christmas mate, your tutorial vids on doa5 helped me truly get into fighting games this year, was not easy but it’s been helluva journey. Thank you for that!

[@Amesang]

As a _SoulCalibur VI_ player I'm somewhat impatient, so I tent to rush down with _everyone…_ including Ivy! Hell, if anything, that might be _why_ I've been decently successful with her 'cause who really expects Ivy to fight up close? I've found a number of high-ranking Ivys (Ivies?) that I've fought against will play "keep away" as much as possible, even if it means just backing away… and if they're backed up against a wall, it seems their only defense is to just stand there and guard; I mean, it makes sense, right? A "good Ivy" doesn't let an opponent get close… so, why learn how to defend against close up opponents if they never have a chance to get up close in the first place? …but, if I'm up close, I'd rather just poke at my opponent until I can use an attack that'll knock _them_ away from me and then use her reach to keep them at bay. She has enough pokes - along with Serpent's Embrace - to trip people up. 😛 I never did get the hang of her command grabs, regrettably, so that's a flaw on my part.

[@noone8253]

Oposite case here, I turtle even with Yoshimitsu, but I don't get that much success

[@ForceofNature99]

That's the beauty of SCVI (or other 3D fighters), you can mix styles. I mean, I rushdown with Nightmare if the opponent is vulnerable to it haha! (And he can be terrifying when on offense, especially with Terror Charge.)

[@homurayurisquad1423]

i never thought of doa having playstyles or archetypes. it seems like people just keep switching from rushdown to turtling, countering, to grabbing, etc. ivy's style seems like a button, pressure zoner, which i didnt know existed in 3d games.

[@ForceofNature99]

Yup, it all exists!

[@homurayurisquad1423]

@snkrules its not really about under rated in this case. i dont think of 3d games having as much playstyle variations per character, compared to close up moves you can mix up. it is true some characters might have some faster buttons or range. but archetypes usually arent considered as pronounced as far as i ve heard/know

[@homurayurisquad1423]

@snkrules sexualization exists in all fgs as far as i know. i know exactly what you mean though since i main arcana heart, and nitroplus blasterz with no male characters. and i'd say arcana is pbly deeper than any 2d game, and nitro is somewhere around there. but rarely anyone try them or give them a chance. doa for me was the only 3d fg i managed to learn most of the basics for. since i tried vf, t7, sc. and non of those games ever seem to offer anything to keep me interested

Just in time for Christmas and marry Christmas 🥳 missed your videos I'm glad one came out for Christmas 👍🥰

[@ForceofNature99]

Merry Christmas R B! It was scheduled 😉

[@chrisheraldo3943]

Great video! I kinda rushdown with nightmare by using his terror charge mechanic lol What is Tamaki classified as?

[@ForceofNature99]

Nightmare can almost become a rushdown character with Terror Charge. Tamaki would be a defensive grappler like LeiFang or Bayman.

[@chrisheraldo3943]

@@ForceofNature99 I also like nightmares's grim stride since I play devil jin in tekken thanks! Guess I shouldnt bother with tamaki just because she's hot 😂😂😂

[@c0nt1nuumd34th]

I know I m late for the party but congratz on your sub count. Most of the fighting styles you described is situational in my book. If I had to narrow it down and pick one, I mostly grappler playstyle cuz I love to go close to someone and give them a hug. XP

[@ForceofNature99]

Thanks Prinny Uber. Yeah, the playstyles can be quite situational. In a perfect world, you could integrate all the playstyles into your personal playstyle. A rushdown-turtling-spacing-grappling Kasumi whom can zone with her 3P+K~P haha.

[@eks2O09]

2:07 Respect the "PP" hehe. I'm definitely the Spacing player. I'm trying to adjust playing Rushdown with Rig, but yet I play him as a Spacing character 😔 Also more Trails of Cold Steel music pls

[@ForceofNature99]

I knew that you'd get a little kick out of that haha 😏! Playing a spacing Rig is interesting because it throws off an opponent that expects to rush you down. Trails of Cold Steel music is godlike.

[@commdaofighting]

Seeing your Seong Mina movement reminds me I got to put more time into joystick practice. Those sidesteps on the gamepad are no problem, but I definitely stay way too linear on the stick.

[@ForceofNature99]

Yeah, SCVI is a very dynamic game with movement. I like that about it. Heavily encourages full spacial movement.

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

@SMRT F.O.N thanks as I am trying to pick up Tekken 8 as my first ever fighting game and I have to say it’s intimidating to jump straight into Tekken 8 as my first fighting game but, this video on the 5 main play styles in 3D fighters should help me find a play style I enjoy and also a character within that play style that I enjoy

[@vijayvj56]

Thanks ❤️ your tips very helpful ☺️

[@ForceofNature99]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@impossibsrusamurai]

aye Merry Christmas man! :) As for me, I tend to be more on offense. Yes, pressing buttons is godliek ahahahah

[@ForceofNature99]

Merry Christmas bro! Dat #buttons life! Rushdown is liek da most intuitive playstyle ever haha!

Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 F.O.N. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

[@ForceofNature99]

Thank you NicholasToras01! It's been good thus far! Hope your holiday has been great too!

[@raphaeldesa7349]

My playstyle has been Kind of random rushdown 😅 Your video was clarifing about this matter. I would like to perfect at grabbler style also.

[@Tibor0803]

It might be a problem with my playstyle having semi-grappling semi-spacing type of playstyle what I use as Hayate. My throws sure not dealing too much damage, but bait moves like 3P + throw, 66P 4K + throw, 9P 2K + throw etc...are good grappling opportunities, unfortunately a B or A ranked player never going to eat this and then my alternative is to guard listening to the opponent's intentions and crouch a bit while guarding once in a while because they may want to standing throw you or down attack, that's where the opponent either going to keep on crouching in turtle playstyle or sudden go for being offensive and having a long rushdown where they regularly turn the table of a neutral game.

[@peterramos5128]

Rushdown mainly with constant Okizeme resets. But if I see that the opponent has trouble getting in, I stick to keep out style

[@peterramos5128]

Thx for the DOA guides btw, really helped me out to understand the game better.

[@ForceofNature99]

@@peterramos5128 You're welcome! You have the right idea, rushdown is the way to go until the opponent repels your offense, then you shift gears.

[@peterramos5128]

@@ForceofNature99 I guess, but as of know I am trying to space out my opponent so I won't have to deal with their mix-ups cause I am kinda new to the game and I don't know characters strings, so it's kinda a funny situation when they are rushing me down, I get stunned and it's basically over, unless I do a correct hold, which in many cases I don't and I get thrown/stunned again, or if I wait out the stun and try to counter attack, I get restunned again and I don't know why the opponents moves outprioritieses mines when I got out of stun, especially Helena.

[@tacocow6122]

Good job man Keep up the good work. Usually for 3d fighter I tend to rush but I live playing zoners on 2d fighters probably why I get salty messages sometimes 😅

[@JordansMortalKombatAdven-xn3qo]

@SMRT F.O.N. I hope you do a top tier tips guides series playlist for Tekken 8 like you did for SC6 and DOA6 as T8 is going to be my main game I think and it would be super helpful to have a top tier guides series on that as well.

[@BLHAIRsammich]

so here's my question I'm a very strong Ivy player in Soul Cal but I'm looking to learn DoA which character would you recommend? I know I really like Kasumi, Christie, and Helena is there any similar-ish characters to say Christie that would work for an Ivy player?

[@ForceofNature99]

Hey. Hmm... No character in DOA is like Ivy (Ranged Melee zoning), however, Nyotengu or La Mariposa may work (good keepout and strong throws).

[@sobornes239]

Where do you put Mila ? Mix between Grappling and rushdown ?

[@ForceofNature99]

Yes. Rushdown grappler with good pokes.

[@ryuusaeki8115]

First of all...Merry Christmas...and..i was waiting for my main to get included in some of the playstyles..but...you didn't include her at all T_T Marie Rose ~

[@alexardo5224]

Saw that coming. I'm with you comrade T_T. For what few well known players I know of: sonicfox (doa5lr only) and ducky play MR like a rushdown, Linerback (CEO tournament) play more like Spacing style. In anime terms you need a mentally like: Rock Lee from Naruto, Gon from Hunterxhunter, Ushio from hinomaru zumou, Yuzuko from Teppu

[@alexardo5224]

And in technical terms you need to be good with footsies, match knowledge, opponents ranges, recognize flowcharts, and condition your opponent to the point you live in their head rent free. Just to lose to La Mariposa player spamming 7K

[@ryuusaeki8115]

@@alexardo5224 soul mate! ~

[@ForceofNature99]

I'm sorry buddy, Marie Rose (and LeiFang) don't really neatly fit into the 5 main fighting playstyles. Marie Rose is a defensive technique specialist. She would be closest to defensive turtling (though of course her reset throws are good).

Any brawlhalla player that decide to branch out they should really try out 3D fighting games like tekken and soul calibur they're more similar in gameplay and mechanics despite brawlhalla is a platfrom fighter

[@yannaedc5934]

Hmm I think I like turtle most but I usually play rushdown, it clicks more with me, but turtle looks so fun

[@ForceofNature99]

Turtling is fun once you find that your opponents get impatient and just run at you. Free damage haha.

[@yannaedc5934]

@@ForceofNature99 Usually I get impatient as the turtle, become super aggressive and get stomped by my opponent for it xD

[@618Smokey]

Hence my problem, I want a character that can do a little of everything 😩

[@ForceofNature99]

Kasumi may be the closest equivalent: Can rushdown (to an extent), has good throws, has good spacing and mobility, and has mild turtling capability.

[@618Smokey]

@@ForceofNature99 and in S6??

[@BLHAIRsammich]

@@618Smokey Sophitia is good for learning the fundamentals, Mina can do a little of everything imo. Honestly tho the high tiers are mainly characters that can do a little of everything in SC6. Like Cassandra or Amy. Cassandra is much easier to pick up than Amy tho. Personally I play Ivy and I know her well enough with my 1000+ hrs in it to do any playstyle I need to lean into on her
