Big Bird Makes Marisa Look Absurd | WANTED Match Analysis (Street FIghter 6)

[@pdreding]

I have trouble finishing Street Fighter videos because they always make me want to play more Street Fighter.

[@deadfr0g]

TOO REAL. I click like on all the videos but the only ones I ever actually get through are the ones I can listen to while I do house chores or whatever, without looking at the screen too much. I have a playlist of ones I mean to watch later but honestly it just keeps on getting longer and longer. Hahaha.

[@jpVari]

I'm hoping this one has insight on dealing with Marisa for when I dive right back in heheheeeee

[@pedrobautista203]

[@RoastedPheasant]

Literally me

[@oklimbo]

I've never felt so much unearned power as when I play Marisa. I can just stand half screen and do 6 fully charged gladius and while its clear that I shouldn't be allowed to, its also clear that nobody with any self-preservation instinct is gonna try to stop me. I think the last time I felt this much disregard for my opponent's ability to counter my ignorance was back when android 16 in dbfz could do tick grabs with his LLL autocombo.

[@TheChilaxicle]

Unfortunately in higher ranks people know how to whiff punish fully charged Gladius. I miss being able to toss them out for free like you describe lol

[@BobtheX]

I've been able to get away with some absolute highway ROBBERY with Manon in low rank. It's hilarious just jumping HK into command grab for people who don't know that's a thing.

[@ghiidra__]

very well put

[@oklimbo]

@@TheChilaxicle you're right, but when they wait for you to whiff you can dictate the pace of the neutral, which I think is her element. Obviously it's a fighting game so scissors beats paper beats rock beats scissors etc etc, but while they look for charged gladius you can mix in partial or no charge, step kick or Superman punch depending on the range. Even just stand MK or crouch MP. Her specials have a decent option coverage despite having no fireball and a relatively wack anti air game. When they jump at you is more scary than them standing half screen focusing on whiff punish.

i was just listening to "I want you to know" and at the very bottom right of my scrren is a little thumbnail from Punk talking about Big Bird's Marissa. Sajam's notification then pops up on top of it. This level of coincidence is highly unlikely. i'm not missing *this* vid! o.o

[@LiquidChamploo]

I like how smart he plays with her especially when it comes to her normals into drive rush. The days of abusing superman punch dwindle away when you hit platinum.

[@brian_cream]

I kinda wanna see a marisa player that plays like this. This is my motivation to improve. So far all my marisas have been trying to absolutely kill me with DIs and jump ins to big damage. Unless i get better at my other match ups i won't climb.

[@Jonkin715]

I know what you mean. Marisa is Street Fighter 6's "flowchart" character.

[@ArchaicEX]

At 35:53 you talk about how beating DI with Marisa's counter instead of her own DI is better because it has less scaling. I decided to check, and it's somewhat correct, but I wouldn't have said so. Here are the details for anyone interested. The punish *combo* we see out of Scotum here does less damage than the same one you get off of DI, even though the former scales down to 41% versus the latter's 17%. The DI combo wins out because the crumple gives you time for a charged b.HP that doesn't fit in the Scotum version. However, the Scotum sequence does 200 more damage overall, only because of the counterattack that the opponent's DI armor absorbs. In brief, you could say that Big Bird spent one extra Drive block (he needed the speed of OD Scotum) to do 200 damage. Is that worth it?

[@TheChilaxicle]

Fwiw he gets about half a drive bar back in the combo after Scotum that he wouldn't get if he DI'd because DI pauses your drive gain for a little bit. So in the end he got 200 extra damage for essentially an extra half bar instead of a full bar

[@Dizzifying1]

@@TheChilaxicle Not to mention the combo he did might feel more comfortable to him (even if the resources may or may not be optimal).

space yourself better so your advantaged moves to cover their landing options

[@sbfantom]

So wait, why is light stepkick/Sparta kick being -6 a good thing?

[@affegpus4195]

the kick when spaced properly will leave marisa so far away from the opponent when blocked, that there is no move that is 6 frame fast that will reach her at that distance. remenber that the fastest move in the game are very short jabs and kicks at 4 frames.

[@sbfantom]

@@affegpus4195 ok, so space to toe tap em, got it.

[@Cheebs3D]

I'm gold btw, I'm shit (and a Marisa main) - Marisas strengths really feel limited to great range, multiple armor options, and absurd damage. Feels like she lacks at least 1-2 more good tools (slow anti Air, limited overheads/lows, no light cancel DR, prone to DI on many good pokes, limited ways to break DI, etc). People seem to stomp with her below Plat, but in streams I've watched she's super rare DIA and higher, and like so little tourney presence.

[@zer0stars]

Honestly, the one thing that I think that she needs is just allowing her first part of jab and medium punch to be cancellable.

[@spuckuk7039]

so for reference of skill level, Mystic here is a consistent top 8 eu tournament player and has won US majors in other games. Big Bird is just that good

[@Cheebs3D]

My head-ass Gold take - make her super 2 her super 1. If she can threaten a high damage AA on 1 bar, I think just the threat would help soooo much

[@chimpmasterflex]

I think I'd be fine with the damage if I could still hit her low on the ex shield. She's annoying to deal with, but idk if I can really call her "good" either, it's weird. Yes one mistake ends your life, but parries are also crazy good against her, and negate a good amount of her pressure. Maybe also tweak the m-m string ever so slightly.

[@lainahtan13]

If you take anything she has now away from here she’ll be hot garbage. Big bird is such an anomaly with this character. Imo she needs help not a hamstring

[@Skorbutt]

You gotta play her at some point to undrstand her flaws. She's slow as a truck and relies on Phalanx and dRive rush to get in. Also her antiairs are slow, it's very hard to deal with crossups. Also she has no invicible reversal. Big Bird makes her truly shine, but the guy is a genius.

[@Pandaman64]

In order: 1) Your antiairs arent hitting because your probably doing them too late. Practice it in training mode to make sure you have a feel for the proper timing. There's a setting for this if you don't want to record the cpu jumping in on you. 2) Its a video game. It's impossible to play 'cowardly'. If your opponent has a life lead and is good, a lot of times they'll sit on that life lead. Street fighter is about patience, if they jump away then you need to slowly move forward and let them corner themselves. I know it can be frustrating, but patience is the play. 3) Lab it. Set the CPU to jump in and throw, and figure out how to tech the grab. Get a feel for the timing. Ideally you don't block jump ins in the first place, see point one. 4) understand that a lot of fighting games are about finding scenarios you have trouble dealing with, and coming up with solutions on how to deal with them. Don't worry about losing games, figuring out how to counter the tricks at all is the victory. Wins will come later, I promise.
