5 MORE Training Drills To Level Up! (SF6 Guide)

[@DissipatedTire]

Defensive drills are always appreciated. Probably the hardest part of fighting games.

[@Chris_F]

So glad you found this helpful! I’m just here to help

[@mustang12345]

I love spending time in training mode doing those drills. Can't wait for your training drills regarding specific match-up !

[@Chris_F]

So happy to hear you liked it! I have a bit of a backlog to clear but I’ll try to get to the character videos as soon as possible

[@mustang12345]

@@Chris_Fto be honest, I've already done my own training drills before your series, some for neutral, some for hit confirming situation on oki, some for shimmy on oki (with opponent delay tech throw, jumping forward, 2MK into DRC or not) etc. But your videos keep giving me ideas :). I'm very excited to see your training drills for specific characters as it can be difficult to pin point exactly what make a character dangerous or annoying to deal with (and I said that while I've already put all the cast in Master Rank). Keep the good work, your videos are amazing even for advanced players !

[@jettmanas]

Solid info. Maybe I can pull these off, except I don't have an OD DP. Maybe lv 1 super works. Thanks for the vid.

[@vini1249]

Your videos are so good man, dont stop please

No plans to stop! Thanks! I’m struggling to find the time to put out more, I’d love to have more frequent uploads

Is there a way to persist these drills to not have to recreate them each time? Really appreciate your videos !

[@Chris_F]

No unfortunately, they get deleted every time you turn the game off IIRC

Real ones know! Thanks for the comment!

[@GTCvDeimos]

Re: Drill #5 at 03:29 , MC Mura also just released a vid today, suggesting that you hold the reversal button input to minimize the chance of the DR eating it. Do you have experience with this method vs. the input-mash, and if so, do you find one more reliable than the other? Sorry for being a pedant. The Devil is in the details :p

[@Chris_F]

Sharing ideas and tech is how we all improve! Thanks for adding the info about the button hold technique. I haven’t had much success with it but I main guile so that could be a part of it. I’ll do more testing and if I find it to be better I’ll include it in my next video!

[@AxeofdeathXP]

Wait what's the purpose of the first drill? Allowing regular DR to go unchecked feels like you're just developing bad habits drilling against only 1 option, a semi uncommon 1 at that comparatively speaking, while you're opponent goes crazy with plus frames

[@Chris_F]

First drill is just a very simple way to teach yourself to react to the overhead motion. While I agree that stopping the DR is ideal, sometimes the risk isn’t worth pushing a button; for example, from close and at low health. Later on in the video (drill 4) I go over stopping DR with a button. At the end of the day drills are drills and won’t always simulate exactly what happens in a match. This is just my approach, we all have our own ways of training. Sorry if that came off the wrong way, I find it. hard to type out responses with the appropriate tone sometimes. Thx for the comment!

[@AxeofdeathXP]

@Chris_F I did like the concept of the other drills, while also noticing 4 touches on stopping actual DR's. Feels weird to me to just not stop the problem (DR in neutral) but I think I understand: taking it in chunks to GET to the point of stopping DR in general. Good video nonetheless; not trying to take that away from you :)

[@misterkeebler]

I think it's valuable to lab because checking drive rush is just not always practical for characters that have weaker buttons for last moment check purposes. A parry has faster startup than any attack button. It also isn't a bad choice if a PP could lead to more optimal positioning. Like with Jamie even if I can check the drive, I might opt for PP if near the corner so I can backthrow, because his side switch combos typically meter expensive. With cammy though, I'd prob just try to check still. Situational.

[@acarirton]

Does the last OS works on charge moves?

[@Chris_F]

It should but let me confirm with you later

[@XLBlades]

Why do we still say drive rush eats inputs when its just factuality not true, drive rush changes input timing.

[@Chris_F]

True but the end result is more or less the same: you don’t get a reversal.

[@weedmom6667]

What's the purpose of the neutral jumps in the recording?

[@Chris_F]

Just to make timing easier. You can omit them if you prefer

[@joedelafro4629]

I legit practiced your last guide, picked up Cammy and sent her straight into masters. Easy to win with her buttons and frames. Hard to prevent losing without these fundamentals.

[@Chris_F]

Cammy low key crazy strong, but still, great job on the master run! Ppl love to meme on sf6 neutral but fundamentals are still SO key in this game

[@luizphellipecardoso8989]

Great video! is to set the dummy to reversal on block a good idea? I made a drill where i land MP on block, and the dummy jump, di, or grab after, to training my reactions. What do you think about? thanks man

[@Chris_F]

Yea I think that’s a good drill! Thanks for watching!

[@mmaldonadoofficial]

you're not gonna get a 2 frame window perfect parry to be that consistent let's be honest

Thank you a lot for these drills sensei

[@Chris_F]

My pleasure!

[@bartekkko]

having to switch P2 characters to have access to more than 5 recording slots is really annoying, especially if you don't remember which drill is where

[@Chris_F]

I write them down!

[@chankifung4e]

I hope these drills will help me get out of 1400 😭

[@Chris_F]

They def won’t hurt haha. Check back in and let me know how it goes! I also do replay reviews when I stream so feel free to pop in

[@csolisr]

My reaction time is well over the two frames required for a perfect parry. Is there any drill you recommend to improve my precision?

[@Chris_F]

Just to clarify, nobody has 2F reaction time. You react to the attack, which is usually well over 18F for an overhead. The timing has to be within 2F but not the reaction. I think doing this drill plus the wakeup parry drill in my first video should be enough (for now) to improve your perfect parry timing

[@csolisr]

@@Chris_F The problem is not so much with knowing that I need to do a parry, it's with the exact timing window. More often than not, I end up either inputting it too early by a few frames and getting only the regular parry, or inputting it a few frames too late and eating the whole combo. The World Tour challenge of getting three perfect parries in a row took me almost an entire hour, including a trip to the lab just to practice the timing of the one move, and I only managed to pull it off by sheer luck. What do you recommend in that case?

[@Chris_F]

@csolisr take any character into training mode then: 1) record the dummy doing jump, land, then any attack you want to practice perfect parry against. I recommend Ken crouching medium kick to start. 2) set playback to repeat 3) practice perfect parry against it It most likely won’t be easy at first. Also, remember that pro players also miss their perfect parry timings in tournaments. The goal isn’t to be perfect, but to be better at it than you were yesterday. Good luck bro you got this! Always here if you have more questions
