Thanks for Watching!

[@lazarsaurus]

While I am by no means intending to main Hibiki, this guide is honestly one of the best, if not the best, guide I have seen for a character in any fighting game. Really wish there were similar guides for other games/characters.

[@ShinxBOOM247]

WittyCaptain agreed mate

[@newstudent4835]

WittyCaptain wanted to comment exactly the same. thanks for doing it for me!

[@darakkuunobelu7584]

Agreed, Coudln't resist urge to like this tutorial.

[@kingsaul754]

I'm tired of searching for a Blazblue character guide as professionally made as the guilty bits series, this is the closest, and I want more...

[@Byakurenfan]

WittyCaptain there are some for touhou 12 3 but that didn't have that big of a base.

[@Maikeru305]

Just so you know, your vid still bringing value 5 years later. Thank you. Now starts the Hibiki grind

[@Mechsploit]

This took a while to make! Thanks for Watching! If you found this helpful please consider liking and sharing o/

[@zmkatsu4885]

Mechsploit are you have an guide for naoto or susanoo about his combo and distortion resets?

[@Mechsploit]

Don't really play those characters so i can't make a guide on them.

[@zmkatsu4885]

Mechsploit about combo naoto.are you can too take it?

[@F1rstGrandOrder]

your style of video is very good for fighting game tutorials though, consider getting the advise and combos from others to create tutorials for more characters

[@kingsaul754]

Mechsploit can you do more guides for other characters? also Legend of the Heroes BMG is always welcomed

[@Punlecochon]

2021 rollback announcement brought me here and thank you for the amazing guide !

[@raydeh96]

This guide took me from potentially maining to 100% maining Hibiki, so well edited and explained See you guys in Feb 2022 when BBCF gets rollback!

[@egrassa1480]

beta is available rn tho man

[@TheButterRoyale]

Yeah man same. Hibiki is my new main for CF. The rollback is godlike and the gameplay is right there. Let's gooooooooooooo

[@marcio7506]

Now that CF has rollback I was looking for hibiki guides and this is truly a master class. Thank you so much for making this.

[@rekkazan]

Yeah man i wish this channel had more BBCF tutorials, it's so good

[@horusset9439]

Big love from a Hibiki Player in 2021, thanks for picking the best character and making the best Guide for BBCF on YT in general, never seen a guide with so much love in detail ❤

[@Cynimun06]

this must have taken forever to make, but it shows. very high quality guide, definitely need more stuff like this on youtube

[@Mnemonicjohnny]

Informative AND stylish. What's not to love about this video?

[@CurlyTopJester]

Recently getting back into this game, and Hibiki has always been who I've tried to main as he's the FG character I've had the most fun using across all games I play. This is totally at the same level (maybe even better) as the UNIST tutorials/missions, explaining everything, I even grabbed a notebook to jot down notes and everything haha and will be studying this. Thank you so much for putting so much into making this, this is just excellent! 🙂

[@collyqually6486]

I wish there were videos like this for every character XD This guide is incredibly well-made and helped solidify my choice of making Hibiki one of my mains!

[@johnrodwell2281]

This is honestly a guide by which most other guides should be measured, for any FG. Succinct, informative, very easy to understand and well laid out. Not needlessly long, but not so short it brings up more questions than answers. From a brand new BB:CF player and aspiring Hibiki main, Thank you. Its stuff like that's invaluable to me.

[@justindeadblast1118]

This video makes my head hurt...but it also makes me want to break my wrists learning these combos

[@heavymetalmixer91]

Truly a very good guide, not every day you see this quality standard around.

[@giogiorno2]

i'm like 6 years late but this helped me so much! very good quality content : )

[@jrock24melon]

Why is there no more of guides like this? The only thing you find is combo videos that just show some combos. This is great because it shows the basics of the character in a very simple and easy to understand way. It also shows many different combos for many different situations. This guide is amazing and I wish there was more like it for more characters it would really help out so many people. This guide is the reason I decided to pick up Hibiki. Wish there were more.

[@YodasMessenger]

I am a newcomer to the series with this being the first title i ever touched on and although i needed to read some things twice cause it took me a moment to piece together all the BB related speech, this was really helpful and had a really nice mix beetween simply displaying facts and properties of the characters moves as well as recommending combinations and situational actions based off those properties. I also wanna say that i appreciate the amount of work that must have gotten into getting so deep up into a character and as well in showing off the amount of combos you did. I liked and immediately shared with my friend, whom i started picking up BB with lately, who is striving to be a Hibiki main in BBCF. Bet he's gonna love it and so do i, keep it up!

[@TakashiHankuro]

I never knew how much I needed this hibiki guide holy shit. This is probably the best guide I've ever seen for an anime fighter so far, awesome work! I'm more motivated to up my hibiki game more. Didn't even think half this stuff was possible with him holy hell, I'm gonna steal a few of these combos and concepts xD. Once again, very nice guide!

[@The1Handed]

Just like the description says it covered everything you want/need to know when playing Hibiki. My hat is off to you good sir. This is truly a superb character guide video.

[@rennstkevidloloy2257]

This is like the best guide ive seen. this teaches you almost everything Hibiki has.

[@bryantcarrick9798]

Like the trails in the sky music👍 Thanks for the guide

[@ReconHunter101]

Nice work, man. I picked up Hibiki a few months back and while I figured out most of his tools on my own, I felt I was having issues with some of the smaller details for how to play him. This guide helped me affirm and improve on a lot of what I already knew, and taught me a lot of things I didn't even know about with Hibiki. Serious props to you, this is one of the best guides I've seen in a while.

[@waltzfatali6738]

This is super dope. I'd be interested in one of these for any other characters you eventually pick up.

[@haggisman0812]

Absolutely fantastic guide. I will say i would normally favour the non side switch variants of a lot of his combos, put them in the corner and such. I learned a lot from this!

[@martinbraga6655]

Please keep doing this kind of guide, it's honestly the best I've seen for a character in bb

[@CloudVaris]

This is really cool, well edited and enjoyable to watch. I'm amazed that you only have a handful of videos!

[@kranciszek1853]

God bless that bb is actually an old game. It's so easy to find everything I need to get into it.

[@raddicalscrub336]

The trails in the sky music makes me happy!

[@akiman.]

This is the real shit, Big Thanks to Mechsploit for this wonderful guide, it's the best i have ever seen for a fighting game, i pick'd up Blazblue CF yesterday and i'm planning of playing Hibiki. This guide is so useful, it probably take forever to make but it was worth it. Thanks again for the hard work.

[@SageArtemisia]

Thank you so so so much for this. I am learning him along with Nine and this helps me a lot. Thank you

[@Alfenheimer]

As a beginner trying to main Hibiki, this was incredibly helpful. Particularly the tech chasing with jC and learning that 2D and 3D have projectile defense. Should help immensely with my Mai matches.

[@822Hase]

This guide is so addictive, just because is so well made, great job, as a Hibiki player it really helped me out, Thanks!

[@elmejor6581]

Well this is by far the best guide i seen. i may pick up hibiki he looks pretty fun with those clone combos

[@Splatter5524]

the astral combo was absolutely awesome and hilarious great job

[@enovos3138]

just by watching this you can tell there was so much love for the character, I doubt I'd Master everything in this video

[@0verkill312]

this is probably the best video guide for a character i've ever seen, so thank you for taking the time to make it! that being said, though, is there a printable list of all his optimized combos anywhere? i don't have access to a second screen while in training mode...

[@Mechsploit]

Differs slightly from some of my own routes but: www.evernote.com/shard/s632/sh/6b8ba824-ee44-4fad-bd61-5e1344501b9f/84071b88e7b09be618ae9da56056e8d4 This was put together by squall_gg and others over on the discord. Shoutouts to them.

[@0verkill312]

thank you so much, this is perfect.

[@rekkazan]

Amazing tutorial dude, you deserve more views

[@kazukki-sensei]

that guys came to BlazBlue from Attack on titan and also learned the primary Lotus damn

[@Kokuto_Cinoten]

KazukkiDA its more commonly known as izuna drops, just saying

[@sageoftruth]

Wow. I started watching this just after playing Legend of Heroes. Once the music started, I thought I'd forgotten to quit.

[@cyl3ersp1der11]

Thank you very much for this video i jsut picked up Blazblue and this was insanely helpfull

[@LotteLattes]

I main kagura but my friend hates fighting him so i wanted to learn someone else. I figured why not learn kaguras assistant lmao. In all seriousness tho this guide is well made

[@sleepysamurai6273]

amazing the ending was quite literally amazing thanks for making this video

[@nathang4682]

Damn this game is sick. Great guide, thank you

[@oopsioofed7274]

Awesome Guide! I'll be sure to learn Hibiki with the help of this guide. :D

[@csclarkmusic]

Really awesome guide! Keep making these.

[@CyberPunk38]

Altough I don't like the character, and don't really plan on playing him, this video was very helpful. Especially the part where you kinda show how to counter him, hehe :D Also, it was fun to watch. I would like to see some guides on other characters.

[@acedia4454]

Please keep doing videos like this!

[@MrKn0ts]

This is an extremely well done guide

[@mirfanamrullah9063]

best combo guide on youtube

[@Destroyermix67]

That instant kill combo at the end was just pure disrespect lmfao

[@farce2734]

lol I watch this video like everyday. learnt most of hibiki combos from here

[@johnqb4871]

Random coment of the day: You know, before watching this videos I was thinking "Hibiki and Joshua have the same hair and eyes color and both have jazz themes, I wonder if their fighting style are similar" and them clicked in this video wanting to know how Hibiki fights and I immediately got bombarded with Trails in the sky music, what a freaking coincidence hahaha.

[@KrsJin]

This is amazing, thanks for putting this together.

[@tyheartfilia2054]

Amazing video, glad you did it!

[@marsvolt]

Top tier music and video m8

[@ryanvickery5337]

I get attack on Titan vibes from hibiki

[@XenojinHayabusa615]

[@grapelys]

Oh, Levi Ackerman vibes? I totally see that

[@Society386]

Your not the only one that hears SASAGEYO every time you see him

[@JamaicanShinobi]

He has an AOT colour too

[@gabrielmattos9859]

[@EseEmeEse]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Kianfox]

This video was great!

[@thesazbak5342]

Excellent content!

[@llpickett43]

Awesome video

[@zobinake]

I wish more guides like this existed for BB. Right now im maining Naoto but im thinking of getting sub for online play, Right now im torn between Hibiki and Mai.

[@somaalbert1537]

OMG finally someone realise hibiki look similar to Joshua Bright 😍

[@Marnikoi]

I miss your videos

[@RennAMVs]

this was amazing

[@noheiro9877]

Ay yo time to main Hibiki in time for BBCF rollback

[@darko7432]

So helpful.

[@Hokag3Chrisku]

This might be my main

[@AmbientXVII]

2D > 214A > 6B seems to only work at a specific distance. A single backstep from starting position to be exact.

[@ethanyong2196]

This is some pretty high quality stuff. You plan on making more videos for the other characters? It'd be a shame if you didn't

[@Yeoshu]

based music choice

[@Aequilix]

Awesome guide. Can anybody break down what’s changed with Hibiki in the 2.0 update if anything?

[@MrEpixScene]

this video was really good in explaining Hibiki! I'm definitely going to pick him up and this makes it a lot easier, thank you! Do you have any other videos of this kind with the other characters in the game?

[@Mechsploit]

As much as i would like to, I currently do not feel comfortable making guides for any other character as I have not had the time to properly study them. In the future, I may pick up a sub and release a video for them. But for right now, I have no plans to make other character guides. Gotta play the game for a bit first!

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

Im buying this game

[@itormia]

🐐

[@rainer9931]

Ok but how do I cut the back of her neck

[@salj.5459]

I wish other BBCF characters actually had good guides such as these... can’t find a single good one for Bang or Terumi.

[@AshTheBananaLad]

Random question but how does your blazblue look so good

[@mrpinguimninja]

I picked up Hibiki when I started playing BBCF a couple weeks ago with the rollback update, and while the guide is great, I don't see myself nowhere near doing any of these combos :( I'm still struggling with his last combo challenge, specially the high jc

[@Grimmegami]

You're a monster.

[@PauloQueirozJS]

hardest fighting game ever

[@farce2734]

Thank you mechsploit for this tutorial. Honestly, this is the best I've ever seen throughout youtube and I wish you could do more vids as well but why didn't you drop the combo description for the last clip? and how do you cope with the delays and all that cos I notice delays in my gameplay especially during 6A and 236AB>6BB. Its kinda hard

[@Mechsploit]

Thanks! I just thought of the last combo as a bonus, it is kind of hard and nuanced to get it to work, but i hope it inspires people to try their own combos with the character. Not sure about these delays you are experiencing. I find the input window to be pretty lenient so all i can suggest is to keep practicing and you will eventually get a feel of it. Or sometimes it will drop because the enemy has too much hitstun decay(?).

[@farce2734]

Mechsploit but can you pls tell me how to do the last one......I'll do anything XD just teach me the mechsploit style combo

[@Mechsploit]

To get j.6D to crossup you have to hit the opponent at their toes (character specific). Here's the notation: (Opponent life less than 35%, 100% Midscreen) 34%-0% OD>FC 3D>j.6D>jc.6D>3D>3D>j.6D>jc.3D(whiff)>j.6D>jc.3D(whiff)>j.6D>jc.6D>4B>6D>222D(AH). Good luck!

[@Lightkun1988]

Really cool and helpful video. Could you please explain how "chicken blocking" at 8:45 works?

[@Mechsploit]

Apologies for all the lingo. Chicken blocking simply refers to jump blocking with the intention of avoiding the high/low mixups that you would have to block on the ground. More in-depth explanation: "Chicken blocking is used to describe a situation where a player would jump to block an incoming attack in the air instead of on the ground. The idea comes from when you land on the ground it cancels block stun recovery frames, the defending player is no longer in block stun, while the attacker is recovering from his/her attack and is unable to block, leaving them vulnerable to counterattack. Also while airborne you only need to block in one direction thus eliminating high/low mix-ups. Many players referred to this is a "chicken's" way to play."

[@Lightkun1988]

Mechsploit Thanks for the explanation :)

[@neobuster2559]

Are you going to make an updated guide with Hibiki's 2.0 changes?

[@fejjJeff]

Kagura disliked this

[@bZgtHeSTD]

Can you please help me? I can't seem to do 214C into 5B>2C> 236AB in the corner. He'll do the 236A animation but for some reason won't do the B part of the move. Whenever I press B the opponent will glow white and the B move won't come out

[@ha8av]

Can you do one for Arakune? This is awesome!

[@the_supern0va238]

Can we get the notations for that Astral combo?

[@realblackpanther7718]

Thanks a lot!! Quite difficult to do 6BB 6A 5C... it is possible ? hahaha!

[@brandonbowers7876]

this is an extremely well made guide. thank you I wanted to ask your opinion on using 236A->D, and using 236A->A as well? and do you have any tips on hitting j6D -> j3D?

[@Mechsploit]

i use 236AD and 236AA very sparingly. 236A~D for hard reads when i find my opponent is very buttonsy/mashy and is always trying to challenge my buttons, i use this move about once in every ten games or so. Honestly, best use i've found with 236AA is to safely end the round on a chip kill. Not a very useful tool in pressure when you can use other buttons/cancels. In regards to j,6D > jc.3D, all i can say is make sure your inputs are clean and that you know the jump cancel window. The cancel window is not very tight so take your time with it.

[@Splatter5524]

how to sum up last combo Kagayu Madoi Madoi Madoi Kagayu Madoi

[@kairuarc6753]

Goddamn the last combo is sick af. Does anyone knows the notations?

[@cuno6118]

Is there anything that doesn’t apply to 2.0?

[@omarilewis6399]

What is the input for the izuna drop on ps4?
