TIPS ON HOW YOU RANK UP IN SF6

[@Fchamprara]

For coaching DM me on twitter @fchampryan p.s the queue is a bit long but i might make some exceptions

[@edwardknox9269]

"Hey buddy- SHOOOOOOORYYYKEN" 😂😂😂

[@Evilj82]

Note for everyone, when you first try to implement these strategies and be more disciplined, you will get blown up by random kens and mashing players. Stick to the plan. When you check their records, they have thousands of matches but are still in the same rank with low win rates, that’s because they aren’t consistent. Stick to the gameplan and be disciplined and you’ll rank up. I was stuck in Diamond 4 and 5 for a long time.

[@VoyivodaFTW1]

So much this. I was explaining to one of my buddies a realization I had after ranking up. I told him bad players generally do what works. Good players do what right. Great players do a combination of both. Notice when you block or tech their strategy is thrown out of the window. They never know what to do. It's kind of sad because he's interesting to watch in the right hands.

[@huevonesunltd]

The 50% winrate They gamble all the time, win against people they "shouldn't" but at the same time lose against people "worse" than them

[@OuweGamer]

Thanks for the big advice. I was struggled in Diamond with bad habits. I adjusted just 3 things, don't jump, and just block more often + no random drive impact. It gave me much better results. It is hard to reflect bad habits. But I'm still learning Now the new struggle is growing in Master. Thanks Fchamp for the tips.

[@andrethompson9265]

Holy shit 😂 you tap them on shoulder and shoryuken. We can't be friends. This dude is funny

[@johnnieboy66]

This is legit one of the most entertaining and hilarious video's I've ever seen. Well played FChamp LOL.

[@tristanaustin2097]

I've always felt like top players would describe certain ranks in a way that was really out of touch. They just assume people are like, never blocking, don't know any combos or things like that. In reality its usually like they have one really bad habit in particular but you would be surprised how much they understand how to play the game in a basic sense. Taking big risks in situations where it you don't have to is probably the biggest error.

[@divertiti]

That's literally what he's saying, every thing in this guide is talking about correcting those mistakes

[@xavierrobertson6266]

Jumps, lots of DI, mashing, frequent reversals are all risks and that's what the video is about fixing lol. I don't see how this is out of touch

[@OneCSeven]

what rank are you? in platinum people basically never block on wakeup

[@tristanaustin2097]

Yeah I know, this is a response to him being surprised about what the players in the first replay were managing. It was nice to see a pro recognize its not AS brain dead as some make it out to be. Not to say they are god like, just not silver status. @@divertiti

[@tristanaustin2097]

I'm master with Sim, Gief and Aki rn. Peaked like 1550 with Aki so far. I bet I can get Sim there if I tried though, been playing a lot with him outside of ranked.@@OneCSeven

[@JahlisMan]

I did not unbind the DI on my pad, but a couple of months ago I did swap it with parry, so that DI was now on the left trigger. It was a conscious decision, as I was with DI like that mouse with the endorphine button. And it had a real effect, it really did help, and now I can go rounds, even matches without ever pressing DI, unless it's to counter someone else's one.

[@pdcsky]

Absolutely works. Applied these things and with 1 anti air and basic combo, got to master in 90mins.

[@BlueRuki]

Damn, my Door Dash driver does deserve better. Thank you FChamp

[@ryo-kai8587]

This video was tailor-made for me. Hit Diamond a while ago and haven't felt like playing Ranked, but I finally decided to jump back in and see if I can't push to Master, then this drops. Also, called the first one! Knew #1 would be DI lol.

[@nickr4837]

going to humbly add: late throw tech too much. I feel like a lot of intermediate players abuse it too much, allowing for huge neutral jump damage

[@lenecrogaming]

That's why playing with a character without DP is a great way in order to learn to block more often

[@PrincipalSkinner3190]

Really underestimate diamond players, I already incorporate these things to a high degree. Opponents often do too. Every now and then you get scrubs that jump, mash, and random DI. But it's not the norm.

[@northernstar5941]

Really? I am Diamond 5 right now and there's as many scrubs in that rank as there were in Gold....people do jump a bit less but DI and reversal spam are common. Your comment is old though so maybe Diamon skill level has inflated. I am shocked at the amount of Diamond and even Master level players who don't even know how to combo or anti-air...

[@Evilj82]

7:15 was super helpful to me, even while I was leveling up my Jamie in Platinum yesterday. This zangief player washed me the second match and I noticed he was only reacting or countering what I did. So I tightened it up for the third match and didn’t push as many buttons and also started being reactive instead of pro active.

[@xemman18]

Ahh my fellow Jamie's! Lol I main him too. I got some tips to lvl up your jamie if you're interested.

[@xemman18]

@starbutter2730 saw some of your matches. You're definitely good. But can tighten up some options. Against ryu, you kept spamming bakkai to punish the projectiles. It's a huge risk since you didn't use the ex version which closes more distance. Just little stuff like that you have to be mindful. You leave yourself open to some big damage for free.

[@jabarij25]

Thanks for these tips fchamp they've completely helped me become a better player

[@BennyHarassi]

you can pry that DI bind from my cold xbox controller

[@sf_cause2069]

LMAOO I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯💯🤌🏾

[@Akanin1]

Thanks Champ for helping me level up my game!

[@VoyivodaFTW1]

Listen to him. He's part of the reason I'm Master rank now.

[@shadef3915]

The CA to punish that jinrai is guaranteed. If you do L jinrai on someone in burnout ken is -7 and his followup doesn't jail so mashing an invincible reversal will win. If he did M jinrai due to burnout it'd be safe though so you have to differentiate the sound ken makes when he does the kick to know what version he did.

[@Tabootrinket]

I knew from back when I was rookie that the DI button was a trap. From the beginning I forced myself not to use it because I KNEW at high level people would punish it without even thinking about it. Now I only use it in situations where I consciously think that the opponent can't respond (uncancellables and burnout). It was frustrating because at first I couldn't react to it at all and people would spam it on me. And as I expected, now I'm at a level where people can react easily to DI and even I can do it too (I'm diamond 1 as I'm typing this). The things I really need to work on are Anti-Airing and being more disciplined with my blocks. I still have a hard time identifying when my turn comes. As for AA, I play Chun and she has lots of options for AA. I tried to learn all of them, but then my mental stack multiplied because I feel like not only do I have to react to the jump, but also quickly decide which option is the best depending on the distance, and the time I have left to react... I think I'll stick to one single option again for now, because I've become like a deer in front of a car's front light.

[@PrivateJoker0119]

This is realtalk lmao,... plat and below you really just need to focus on antiairs and counterDI because people do it so much..i got to plat 3 without even labbing Guile just by knowing my antiairs and counter DIs

[@MrBones105]

It’s so true. I got frustrated last night playing my main and did Ken iron - plat in one go. Pretty much all I focused on was making sure I did anti airs lol.

[@Leon-bt7gw]

today i played ranked for the first time and got to plat with dhalsim by just anti airing and counter di’ing too lol (i also labbed bnb combos for 20 hours beforehand)

[@darrensensei]

23:50 hes teching while getting combod lmfao

[@dadahosain1158]

Awesome video, i laughed through the whole thing

[@serviomontes7118]

Bro your face is priceless watching those replays 😂😂

[@PumKnH3D]

Question- What about jumping for characters with little to no range attacks, like Jamie? After watching this vid, I have been way more consious of my jumping and doing it way less. It has helped a lot. BUT it's hard to completely stop against ranged users like Ken who spam fireballs.

[@xemman18]

Remember you can always parry, you have ex bakkai. You can also try and bait them with the dive kick. Throw in some neutral jumps as well. I know Ken can follow up his hadouken and dp a jump in. Just play patient.

[@StartersofRage]

Thanks to FChamp, I hit Master with Gief. Awaiting for the next vid, to be able to hit Legend.

[@tolazytoturnonthetv]

I’m going to try and come back with the results.

[@insobyr9779]

20:45 I think he just wanted to DI the jinrai followup, it's not the randomest thing in the world at least

[@azarel7]

I think the second DI and DP was because he was expecting Jinrai low. He's trying to predict what the Ken will do which is running him into trouble. Same with the Level 3 at the ending...trying to punish a predicted Jinrai low. The ending was hilarious though..."can't be friends with them..." But I guess my question is....reads are bad?

[@parli_poo11]

Even if he didn't go low EX DP would've hit if he was closer. The range was a bit too far so it whiffed.

[@MFGeedorah47]

If you're DI'ing light jinrai it gets beat by no follow up into counter DI or jump, you can always interrupt any follow up with a 7 frame invincible reversal or 4-5 frame normal. So why gamble with DI? The DP was on a max range jinrai, 5lk is way better there

[@Un1234l]

​@@MFGeedorah47 5LK was the correct choice, but not if Ken did M Jinrai Low, that would be a frame trap.

[@MFGeedorah47]

@@Un1234l well it’s a good thing you can hear which version he does every time and act accordingly lmao

[@33shin33]

these are fundamentals but honestly when playing against masters it's very difficult to even find a window.

[@sundevil34]

I’m going to add #6: actually play ranked. I see so many cats complain about it and they don’t even play.

[@Zayne_79]

Best commentary ever!

[@Entei1482]

Don't jump and get crushed by command grabs, divekicks, ed, sim n bison. As far as im concerned, kangaroos are just ahead of the curve 😂😂

[@GamesOnHardest-]

would be great if you could help 1700 - 1800 players who are hard stuck

[@alexandersze49]

Honestly I would argue jump only when your opponent can’t anti air. I mean if your opponent can’t anti air it’s literally free pressure. Unless I’m missing something

[@hykeen]

Blocking? What about my drive gauge 😢

[@JustPokey]

Dhalsim player wants us to stop Diing? 🧐 Curious.

[@HausamanB1]

So what happens you start blocking everything, never jump, stop using DI randomly, know your combos, stop mashing, And can anti air somewhat consistently, and you still get your shit pushed in by Diamond 4-5 and master players? The advice is good up until like Diamond 3 or so but then what? Delay tech? Sure, until they start shimmying. Walk them down? Sure, then it’s low forward into drive rush into full combo. Block? Yup, now your drive gauge is getting chipped away and you’re burned out. Oh here’s the drive impact cuz you blocked too much now you’re in the corner. Sorry for the tone of the message but I’m just really curious on what you really need to be doing after Diamond 1/2 beyond the basics. It’s one thing to say all this stuff then it’s another when you’re in the corner blocking or trying to navigate Kens insane corner pressure or Kimberly’s mix. It’s not that simple and I wish content creators would stop making it seem like it’s as easy as 1-2-3. It’s not

[@omegarocplays]

"You can't be friends with them" lmao

[@parli_poo11]

This makes a lot of sense but I don't know if I 100% agree with don't jump all the time. If you're opponent is really good at anti air then yea don't jump but if you're opponent is terrible with anti air why not jump non stop lol? I also found that if you get anti aired, try crossups and see what they do.

[@easymode533]

24:46 sheer disbelief

[@parli_poo11]

I don't get why level3 there was a bad idea. If he did the low kick follow up, level3 will hit since it has invinciblity frames. If it didn't do the low kick follow up it would still hit since it's -7f. Ryu level3 is 5f startup.

[@easymode533]

@@parli_poo11 he just did a random level 3 because he panicked pls stop

[@parli_poo11]

@@easymode533 I rewatched and realized he was burnt out and Ken did the L jinrai, which is the reason why it connected. Even after burnt-out frames its -7f recovery since it's normally -11f. If Ken did the M jinrai it would've been completely safe. Unless he's really good at telling L and M jinrai he got really lucky since good Ken players almost never use L jinrai. I wouldn't call it random since the reasoning is there. He probably forgot he was burnt out. That's a proper punish if your not burnt out for L and M jinrai.
