You know Jiyuna truly loves a fighting game when he actually makes serious guides for beginners

[@sdryman]

So many BB guides are either designed for people who have never touched a fighting game, or are hyper character specific combo/setup guides. This is exactly the kind of general system fundamentals I've been looking for as someone coming in from another game.

[@alcatraz8694]

The thing whit fighting games is that you have to put effort to lear it, not like a shooter were you just... shoot

[@sdryman]

@@alcatraz8694 Nah you gotta learn fundamentals in shooters too. Loadouts, recoil patterns, effective ranges, field of view, different hit locations, how to lead targets, movement speed, audible footstep range. People who are used to different shooters can adjust quickly to variations but there's still gonna be some time before a CS:GO player really gets comfy with Battlefield. But you can attack people who don't see you in shooters and usually have teammates so there's not the kind of head to head 1v1 accountability and learning those games feel less discouraging than fighters. Shooters aren't easier to learn or play, people are just less scared of them.

[@FigAndFriends]

​@@alcatraz8694 same with fighting games though. If you just want to run in and press buttons, maybe learn a wack combo in training mode, then you can

[@ascaredmilipede7971]

​@@FigAndFriendsi think the difference is in playerbase, everyone and their mother plays FPS games so theres alot of people around your skill level for you to play against, not the same for fighting games where both "if you go online expect to get bodied for a good while before you can compete" and "my advice to learning fighting games is pick a relatively new game where there are other new people playing" are the general consensus

[@Jackerler20001]

To summarize: 1- Don’t auto tech, try timing it right. 2- Use barrier more often and learn to barrier dash break. 3- Focus of combos that you can finish, and learn mid-screen combos that corner carry. 4- Learn how to utilize the overdrive to your advantage. 5- Try to pick up a beginner-friendly character to learn how to game works before moving to the advance characters.

[@nemamiah7832]

I think a very important thing to remember is to not just practice combos. Start with something simple, go online and then practice it. Don't play to win, play to implement the combo. Play to implement the blockstring. Play to implement the oki. You've learnt your BnB for your overhead 6A or smth? Now go online and learn how to catch people with it and how to do it in the actual fight. Doesn't matter if you lose. DOESN'T MATTER. Don't fall back on something you know and comfortable with. Lose the match, land the combo. Lose the match, make the oki. When you feel you're comfortable enough with this new stuff - switch to the next one.

[@eduardoserpa1682]

The one for wake-up options is a huge one. I'm always holding 7A+B, so it never crossed my mind to use delay neutral tech instead of just neutral tech.

[@BlobFGC]

Delay tech doesn't do much against some characters. I play Naoto and I usually meaty 5/2A to continue pressure after a knockdown. If they delay tech, my 5A whiffs, and I have time to do another meaty one. Best case scenario I can blue beat and reset into Phantom Pain. Basically, delay tech is not as good of an option to do all the time as you would think. If your opponent knows how to abuse it, you should start going back to the safest option (Quick Rise).

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Instant teching and rolling is the easiest way to lose.

[@BlobFGC]

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI I rightfully disagree about instant tech. There's no inherent downside to it aside from the telegraphed wake up timing. You can't get reset off of it, you are actually at no risk. Instant tech and block. Rolling though is asking to get killed.

[@sunwiitch]

yeah i think this is a more contentious issue, i think you want to tech in accordance with a gameplan against whoever your opponent is. a lot of the time forward tech roll especially is just asking to get punished because it's so full of vulnerable frames. one big thing i see a lot of new players do is in fact the opposite of this, where they're not teching at all or are mashing on tech and miss opportunities - they get blue beaten, reset, etc as a result. obviously these are people who don't have the basics down but the basics *can* take a while. i think the first step is getting people in the habit of teching properly in the first place and stuff like delay emergency tech, delay neutral tech, tech rolling etc can come a bit later. ultimately i think it makes sense to hold tech during combos and then mix things up when you see the oki incoming

[@BlobFGC]

Well the thing is, while it is situational, getting meatied doesn't really put you at any direct risk. Sure, your opponent keeps their pressure going but you can't expect to get ouf of pressure after every knockdown by magically doing a delay tech. That's why I think instant teching is a better option to default to than delay tech (because of the risk of getting reset is higher, and you can still get meatied afterwards if your opponent has a clue what they're doing.) Rolling is generally really really bad though (but still somewhat situational) !

[@deBILLitation]

"but let's agree to disagree" I absolutely agree with you to try out an easier character to get used to the mechanics and the feel of the flow. It's not like it HAS to be your main, might only be an hour or so to figure out how things work and then some bouncing around who you like but the key is to be able to keep you feet under you whether you wanna run first or walk first your feet need to be under you or you fall on your ass.

[@srowwww9780]

Im actually enjoying to see Jiyuna helping out with pretty good tips. Im not new to Blazblue but never jumped up to online and then i realize i needed recover tips cause i was getting my ass kicked, i couldn't escape from loops of combos

[@TherathxRikku]

I'm only a couple minutes in, but I 100% love the philosophy of, "stop teching". Yeah, the pressure in these games feels super oppressive, but knockdown are so much stronger in this game, and thus is one reason why. Some matchups get completely blown up from just delay tech. Kagura comes to mind, but only cause Arcsys really hates that they gave him oki for some reason. But that's seriously a valuable first lesson to teach people, is just be patient for a sec. Knockdowns are strong, but you can weaken them with just a little patience. Edit: okay, finished the video, and that last piece of advice is just chefs kiss, and I can't stress that enough. I played Azrael for years, since 1.0 Chrono Phantasma, and i even made pink square for the first time in the earlier days of CF 2.0., but I had a realization very recently that shook my entire perspective with this game. I wasn't really having fun, despite winning a good chunk of the time. I'd be going to our local meet up in Dallas, and having fun being with friends, but not having fun playing my character. Anytime I messed up a combo or a setup really bugged me, and I'd get really ragey after longer sets. All of a sudden, I pick Terumi back up, and it's like riding a goddamn bike. Yeah, I may not win all the time, still, but I'm having a great time no matter what matchup, cause it's just comfortable, and gels with my playstyle to a tee. And you know what, people are sleeping on the Terumi matchup on steam sometimes, cause he's got some out of the box mixups if you stick with him, and cause he's comfortable, I don't drop stuff nearly as often. And if I do drop something, I just let out a cheeky "aw, dangit", and carry on having fun. Solid advice, just play whoever you're comfy with, and whoever fits your playstyle. You'll figure something out if you stick with it.

Mistake 1: coming from Guilty Gear strive

[@ngkn2008able]

As others have said, delayed tech is double edge sword. It is ONLY useful when u read opponent correctly, u can even punish them on correct read. BUT, read wrong, you are in for a reset combo. Anyway, I ... actually didn't thought about block OD before ...

[@steeplewiththesnakes]

I agree with your last point, I think it was good for me on +R to start with Ky before I learned Eddie and with this game I'm starting with Hibiki but I'd like to learn Carl eventually. Don't want to drown right away

[@Emillll]

Regarding mistake 1 though, good players often end their combo with a knockdown that leaves them close to the opponent and allows them to immediately do something like 2A or 2B. If you delay tech there, you'll get hit for another combo. Watch players like Fenrich, Fukku, etc and they will almost always do this to catch delay tech or roll.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

False.

[@NaoyaYami]

Well, if they usually play other non-new players, then it makes sense to assume a delayed tech. But then you can just adapt and mix it up to make it harder to guess.

[@SkepticRyo]

1)Delaying teching/wakeup in order to avoid mixups will only work against beginners, against more experienced players this will most likely lead to a combo reset where in your 1st example ragna could press 2b to start a whole new combo since you did not tech. Neutral teching is almost always your safest option when your opponents ends a combo since back/forward rolls or fast wakeups can be punished if your opponent is prepared for them.You will find more success by neutral teching and guarding the mixup rather than risking with delaying your tech or hell even neutral wakeup DP is a really good option. 2)Using barrier generally is useful to not take chip damage and like you shown push further away your opponent.There are also some disadvantages like barrier making your opponent +3 on whatever hit but for beginners it does not matter.Tho no matter what you should never ever be in danger state(except if you play izanami), if your barrier is so low you should start conserving it since you take more damage in danger state and you can't block on air. 3)I 100% agree there.When you first pick up the game or a character and you go check optimal combos they might be WAY too hard for the extra 200 damage you can do.Start by learning a 2000k brainless midscreen bnb before going into 2300 bnb where you have to make frame perfect instant airdashes etc. 4)You covered Overdrive well so nothing to add here. 5)Yea i say that to many many people to start with an easy character to get used to the game before going to harder ones. For context i play blazblue since calamity trigger and i had and still have friends who are active to this day in our discord, so i hope my input is received relatively well. The only thing i disagree is the delaying teching portion of the video, while it may work against beginners people with experience will abuse this delayed tech for free combos and that habit may bite new players in the butt on the long run. Other than that however i enjoyed the video, i love the surge of new players thanks to rollback.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

You are 100% wrong on the first comment. Stopped reading.

[@SkepticRyo]

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI You are free to form your own opinions about the game but if you ask any competent player they will disagree in that point, i know that you are good at the game based on previous videos and other methods of teching are viable *if* you are experienced at the game and know what they do. But saying to a total beginner to stop teching asap is a huge mistake, beginners do not understand the game as good as we do and they don't know when roll or delay tech is actually useful. Also your reply showed me that you can't take critique well, if your only argument against my opinion is "you are 100% wrong" that means you can't back up your opinions based on facts and research otherwise you would have posted them when others here in this comment section say the exact same thing. Ultimately say whatever you want. Your viewers as they improve(if they haven't quit) will realize what is good advice and what is bad advice.

[@axelaquacassieb1256]

@@SkepticRyo lmao.

[@69Asspounder]

Use discretion. Delay teching will undoubtedly get you scooped and put back into the same situation if you're up against a competent player. Just about every character has universal setups to punish delay tech. It’s okay to tech roll if you’re reasonably spaced out between your opponent after a knockdown (for example, after an EA) but doing that it at point blank is asking to get blown up. In your Es video, the hazama player was punished about 90% for delay tech attempts everywhere on screen, and that outcome is not unique to Es because of the kinds of oki she and other characters can run. This is not the type of tech’ing advice you want to give to beginners because it creates rps scenarios in a match where there shouldnt be any. when these same players get mopped by a fundamentally solid player, they’re then clueless on what they’re doing wrong because their base knowledge of the game was skewed due to such advice. Lastly, it also ends up creating a viral effect that runs rampant on netplay as a whole and we all already that the online in this game is stigmatized as it is. Advice like this will just make it much worse. Pretty long response but hopefully i get the point across.

Additional useful information about overdrive: while a player is in overdrive, the timer is frozen, and activating overdrive off of a hit (called an overdrive cancel) will halve the duration of it (which is determined by your HP; less HP means more time in overdrive).

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Question: in the barrier example it seems like it's the D-move at the end that pushes Ragna away. Should you avoid ending strings with specials if the opponent is shielding so you can stay close?

Don’t worry about your opponent shielding or not, just run your block strings.

[@NaoyaYami]

But aren't big moves usually unsafe on block anyway so you want to finish the blockstring to get away and get time to defend if needed? Also, that's what confirms are for, right? If opponent gets hit, continue with combo, if opponent blocks, switch to blockstring so you are safe.

[@Kaizanor]

Don't let that discourage you he's a pro player so stuff like that's easy for him, like he said after even if it's a basic short Gatling combo as long as you end it with a knockdown and or push them to the corner you chillin.

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

The combo is just the same sequence repeated 3 times. It's really not hard. 3C > 5D > 214B > 3C > 5D > 214B > 3C > 5D > 214C

[@Kaizanor]

@@ANIMEILLUMINATI Yeah but some people have a hard time getting a regular gatling into a special so that'll be hard for them. Even though those bnbs are super easy.

[@Daibana]

So should you hold tech in the air in case your opponent drops the combo, but as soon as you feel the combo ending stop holding and delay tech?

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

That's a pretty good way to think about it.

[@RasenRendanX]

DNF Duel beta ended my man jumped right into the BBCF content

[@joestar5729]

I got back into the mix, I've played all of them, Iron Tager main here. Got it on steam like 3 months ago. It was completely dead. Couldn't even find matches online.

[@armlesskirby]

When I was playing lambda I learned to do spike oki and every time my opponent would delay tech I'd get a 4k damage reset

[@LeUberTroll]

So many things I wish I knew while playing with my buddy, a nasty arakune main.

[@yyynbbggsage7398]

How active is the online for PC Blazblue in Japan? I am asking because I live in Korea and have a hard time finding matches. And I have public beta test on.

[@ramkindalethal732]

One advice i can give u new players dont burst after u get hit 2 times so many new players just burst at the start and i never see them use overdrive just take that 2.8k dmg and save overdrive its much better then burst

[@fakeandgaming5377]

Where would you say Jubei sits on the beginner friendly spectrum?

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Intermediate.

[@Dwish305]

This was actually great, very helpful. You can apply these rules to other games as well.

[@bmx9757]

Good advice on the characters unfortunately i have a lonstanding history of picking the hardest characters i can on accident so i will probably end up on litchi or some shit

[@angelsVODS]

i play blazblue calamity trigger so i don't have the burst thing so if i do it it use all my barrier so its verry dangerous but sometime you still need it , it's been more than a year that i play this game and my main is jin

[@thepirateage6396]

many months playing valkenhayn and i still drop his bnbs that i've grinded to death lol (i fought you one time btw was pretty fun) thank you for the tips man

[@ningensan8198]

Great tips! As for the fifth tip, I think it depends on the person's attitude toward the game. Personally, I picked Izanami because I like everything about her and I have no regrets even though I am nowhere near a competent Izanami. When you like playing your character even losing is fun

[@ANIMEILLUMINATI]

Everyone is different.

[@NaoyaYami]

I think I am similar to you - whenever I start playing a new FG, I fool around for few minutes in training mode with every character that caught my eye on the character selection screen. If I do decide to stick with the game and get familiar with all characters enough to at least somewhat like them (usually familiarity equals likability in general) I will start exploring other characters and look for one I like the playstyle of. Sometimes even playing other games can help with that, for example: I was never able to get used to GG's I-no movement until I played similar character in a different game that I chose to stick with because I just enjoyed how they looked during combat. I then went back to try I-no again and lo and behold, I am now as good as her as with any other character I don't play too often (so good enough to have some casual fun but not good enough to win a lot online).

[@chromulus2225]

I stuck to learning some of the basic characters for my first 10 or so hours of the game like Es and while I like her I wanted something a bit crazier. Blazblue has so much cool and unique things you won't see in any other fighting game so I wanted to play something that I could only find in Blazblue. So i picked Rachel, took me a bit to get the hang of it and I'm only doing baby Rachel stuff but man she's so fun. I think picking up who you want when you start a game is cool if you come into the game expecting to have a bigger learning curve. If you don't think you would enjoy the harder learning curve then maybe wait a bit before picking the hard characters. Really just depends on that you expect and want out of the game.

[@incorporatedinc6058]

Jiyuna please teach me the lord and savior Arakune

[@christhechilled]

5:45 dropping combos happen all the time.

[@Yoitzmeful]

Make a video talking about character difficulty please 🥺

[@bctk]

i remember when blazblue had 12 characters maaaaan

[@kageraavarrthun]

I like playing 3 different characters. Ragna, Terumi, and the staff girl. I forgot her name. I haven't played in a while though. Might get back into it.

[@negy4463]

actually platinum is a boi lol

[@kageraavarrthun]

@@negy4463 Oh? Sorry my bad

[@kitestar]

4.5 every character when they use an OD stock get different buffs relating to their D moves when the blue aura is over them

[@renatoramos8834]

Not teching or delaying it doesn't work when facing certain okis, though.

[@ChaosKnuxxx]

I've been playing BB for years and I can't lie, I still do half of these... 🙃

[@NaoyaYami]

It's okay, it's not that different from players in other genres (like MMOs) that have thousands of hours of playtime in a title and still sometimes learn something from guide aimed at new players.

[@mallows9779]

I just started to play Blazblue and I am in love with Naoto, a lot of people who play Blazblue told me to stay away but I am just really into all the difficult stuff he has in store. Should I really switch off to an easier character or should I stick to it. Because even if im dropping combos with Naoto I don't mind because I love the challenge and am just really enjoying his character and design. Dash cancel combos look so cool

[@ZeroSleap]

Yeh wake up system in this game has been my bane so far when playing with an experienced friend of mine...I try auto tech to only get into the meat grinder

[@collegestuff2511]

1. Start with Carl 2. KMS

[@MoldMonkey93]

Nah, you definitely want to mix your timing on tech. That’s regular to me. VF kinda teaches this too because we have OTGs and the like.

[@16bitktempo]

im 5 days in and the character i picked up is bullet.. i like the game, but i wind up facing alot of vets in the game and im getting washed.. i came from tekken 7 so i have allot to adjust to

[@ThePanchEffect]

this BB videos are going to save Jiyuna, finally hell reach the glorius 69k subs, come on guys!, lesssgo!

[@Gramasz]

....you didn't say what would happen if you delay tech, you can get blue comboed on the point you could have teched, getting OSED by some char (ragna 22A~C) or simply opponent can start a big combo (ragna raw 2D, no cancel). I remember Players always tried to disrespect opponent during CS era by not even teching but ppl starting to create way better options to prevent that, to the point that you can cover 3 out of 4 and so people started again to neutral tech disrespect and delay tech would work 1 time out of 5 against a good opponent
