He is the only one who explains these things in short videos, but he also tells you how to set the options in training mode so you can start practising right away. As I said this channel is unique. Thank you very much Chris

[@SibylDark]

Exactly this. Presenting small bits of tech at a time + showing exactly how to practice them (in training or match) is an excellent model. Great stuff Chris

[@901Asar]

Damn Chris you really upgraded your the quality of your tutorials in such a short amount of time and without them being drawn out. Thank you

[@Chris_F]

Thank you so much! I’ve been working *really* hard to make better content so it’s really great to see that you noticed! More to come

[@chinokyou]

dude you are the only one who explains those OSs on youtube

[@Chris_F]

I try!

[@icydeath11]

your channel is criminally underrated. Youre quick, concise and i feel like i actually leave your videos with more than i came with. Great work dude!

[@xhinen8526]

Totally agree

[@ryanschlecht6087]

I had the same thought after watching a few. Def gained a new sub from me.

@@xhinen8526 fantastic way to put it. Can’t wait to see what other content they make!

[@Chris_F]

Thank you so much for this comment! I’ll try my best to keep growing and making content that is easy and helpful. It’s been fun and I can’t wait to do more!

[@jaeaik]

Your explanations were clear, concise, and easy to impliment. Thank you for these OS, will be practicing these for sure!

[@Chris_F]

Glad it was helpful! I always try my best to keep it as real as possible without losing out on the important parts.

[@TheLeroy125]

big thumbs up from me here. This was quick, concise and explained exceptionally well. Although I knew a few of these, others were new and useful! Like how you go over how to practice it too, very good for people picking up the game or coming over from other titles.

[@Chris_F]

Awesome, thank you! Training mode settings are the backbone of my channel haha

[@eastcoasttone3952]

That Safe Jab OS was exactly what I needed. Time to practice and drill it into my muscle memory, thanks!

[@Chris_F]

Glad it helped!

[@SophistictaedDevil]

Thank you for sharing instead of gatekeeping ❤

[@Chris_F]

I’m all about sharing knowledge, no gatekeeping here

[@SmollPanda]

never knew safe jab OS is a thing at any fighting game. first time hearing it. thanks for sharing!

[@Chris_F]

I think it’s rare in other games. This have has slower reversals than most 2D fighters

[@floridaman7206]

That safe jab tech is a HUGE game changer for me

[@Chris_F]

Let me know if this helps you rank up!

And thank you for watching!!

[@blastburnz]

The training mode setups are insanely helpful. Thank you!!

[@Chris_F]

Glad you like them! I’ll have a new GBVSR video up by Monday!

[@landquakes7940]

very well made quick and comprehensive tutorial, please keep it up :)

[@Chris_F]

I sure will! Thank you for watching

[@Dmc_115]

Yoooo this guide is so sick !! Thank you i learned a lot

[@Chris_F]

Glad I could help! I’ll have more after my next SF6 video. Balancing two games is hard🫠

[@slevinlaine]

Thank youu so much again!! As a new player this seems like essential to master. As said, love that you use Gran!! : D Keep him please haha.

[@Chris_F]

Gran is always F2P so I’ll use him whenever I can

[@maxhomies_playin7749]

Very useful tips thank you

[@Chris_F]

So nice of you, thx!

[@coolfish420]

Amazing sfuff! I'm going to work on all of these

[@Chris_F]

Glad you liked it, happy practicing!

[@Blargel]

Aw shit, I was so close to figuring out the last one on my own, lol. I've been trying to do mash light into raging strike on defense occasionally but never thought about how it could turn into a brave counter if done like that.

[@Chris_F]

Took me awhile to figure out this one too I was getting pretty frustrated at one point haha

[@jettmanas]

You know your stuff. I enjoyed the previous game, but haven't tried vs yet for this. Not sure I learned #2 & 3. What should I do? Random connections can be tricky for precision. Thanks for the vid.

[@Chris_F]

Thanks for watching!

[@racismoe]

Thank you this is exactly what i needed after getting my ass beat in A5 all night yesterday, goated video

[@Chris_F]

Thank you so much, I always love hearing that my videos are helpful!

[@arumea5418]

Had to double take the first one and then work out with visuals what those inputs were with technical inputs.

[@Chris_F]

Sorry about that, I usually use simple input for this game bc sometimes it technical inputs don’t register properly

[@NurseLee]

Great work! Keep it up!

[@Chris_F]

Thanks man! Been following you forever on twitter, feels great to hear this coming from you!!!

[@NurseLee]

@@Chris_F I'm humbled. Again, keep up the work Chris.

[@decaf6442]

Great tutorial Chris! One question, does the safe jab also work on crouching light or does it only work on standing Light?

[@Chris_F]

It’s going to depend on the speed of your light normal

[@NaoyaYami]

Does safe jab still work? Not only dummy never does nothing when I set it as in vid, I can also never land c.L and so at best I can just either block dp or bad-break a throw (trying as Lucillius).

[@Gang3rs]

good stuff, not sure if this works with vaseraga but it will be a good step up if it does

[@Chris_F]

It’s easier for some characters than others but I don’t play vaseraga so I’m not sure. Experiment in training mode and let me know what you come up with!

[@dizzenios1716]

REALLY GOOD VID! I'm new to using OS but not precisely new to gran, so i get a little confused by your first example. How is it that buffering 6H+S into 2S leads into gran doing his 4L/214L rekka? Maybe there's something i'm missing.

[@Chris_F]

This OS is the same for the whole cast, not just Gran. Basically, you get to cancel out the first special input ONLY if you get the red AA counter hit screen with another special but you can’t do this on a regular non-counter hit AA. That’s why the OS works

[@julienbousquet6655]

Hello and thanks for the video! 1 hour i'm trying safe jab and it didnt work once... was it patched or i'm just slow? what i'm doing is back then light then light very rapidly when opponent wakes up.

[@julienbousquet6655]

The best thing I could do is block DPs everytime and tech if it's a throw.

[@Chris_F]

Seems like your timing is off, it wasn’t patched

[@julienbousquet6655]

@@Chris_F Thanks a lot for your answer! to be sure, I should press sequentially, back then light then light? and probably maintain back the whole time?

[@Chris_F]

@julienbousquet6655 back plus light at the same time, hold back the whole time

[@julienbousquet6655]

@@Chris_F I understood!!!!!! the first light hit meaty before the wakeup, the earliest possible meaty. Then the back input blocks a fraction of second for the wake up DP and the second light continue the combo in case the enemy didnt DP wakeup, else you are in blockstring and safe! Thanks now to practice.

[@grobungus8180]

Is there a version of the safe jab OS that works for vaseraga? His cL is 2 fames slower than the usual 5f cL that almost everyone else has, and trying to do the OS as vaseraga ends up with the DP still hitting.

[@Chris_F]

He could have some setups that allow for it but tbh I haven’t tried him out in training mode so I’ll have to get back to you on that

[@Shan0a]

I'll lab later but maybe his 6f 2L could help, or maybe something with Soul Forge. 🤔

[@nohbdy1122]

Does the safe jab work against 9 frame M DPs?

[@Chris_F]

I believe so! I’m not home right now but let me test later and get back to you

[@Zalaphrax]

Why the spot dodge before the safe jab OS?

[@Chris_F]

That’s specific to gran in this case, it’s a framekill to get a perfectly timed meaty

[@felipeborges830]

Nice!

[@Chris_F]

Thanks! Let me know if this helps you win more

[@felipeborges830]

@@Chris_F you bet! Thanks, man

[@tdunity]

For the last OS, isn't it possible for an opponent who picked up on it to spotdodge the raging strike after blocking 2L?

[@Chris_F]

Most likely, most option selects also have a weakness to them so you’ll have to use risk-reward assessment when using things like this

[@jandelrio7876]

2nd os losses to certain m dps

[@Chris_F]

Thx!

[@livedshrimp4647]

ok so i tested it and it actually does work on 9f dps (like 623m) with everyone EXCEPT metera, ferry, lancelot and narmaya (dawnfly stance). the jab needs 3 active frames and to be +6 on-block to be a true os

[@Chris_F]

Thank you so much! I always try my best to be as thorough as possible but it’s hard to do it all

[@noctisarcanus7894]

Damn, fighting games are hard 🥲

[@Chris_F]

But that’s why they’re so much fun!

[@sasasutumi]

I seriously do not understand what I'm supposed to be doing at safe jab

[@Chris_F]

As the attacker or the defender?

[@sasasutumi]

@@Chris_F attacker

[@Chris_F]

@sasasutumi so the idea is that you can time the jabs so that they will hit the opponent if they push buttons or block, but allow you to recover in time to block their reversal

[@njnjhjh8918]

Good to know! Although I feel that needing to use option selects is a design mistake

[@Chris_F]

Every single fighting game has option selects. Thanks for watching!

[@njnjhjh8918]

yeah but why? @@Chris_F

[@Chris_F]

@njnjhjh8918 hard to answer in a comment but it’s just because of the way moves interact with each other plus the way inputs work. I *might* make a video about this once I’m finished my current batch

[@njnjhjh8918]

@@Chris_F I mean more of why they're allowed or perhaps viewed as necessary, but sure, what you said. I like to press buttons cause it makes stuff happen, knowledge checks are the enemy. Also the enemy: the corner and long combos. I'm here to dance, and my dance is called The Scramble and my partner is The Parry.

Im so dumb I cant figure out what an option select is lol
