Get Good at Street Fighter 6! Using Training Mode Efficiently

[@rooflemonger]

Keeping on with our Street Fighter 6 journey, its time to learn how to use training mode properly and efficiently! There's a lot more training mode than just praciticing your sick combos, so lets dig in! As always, timestamps are in the video for your ease of use so skip ahead to whatever makes sense for you, enjoy!

Punk won dream hack 1st with Cammy, I seen Mister Crimson dhalsim he has mastered the combo's and over drive mechanic

[@eSKAone-]

Thanks for the effort. You're really nice to listen to 💟

[@Peter-the-Angry]

Maxima, how do you train to have better reaction times?

[@thebole123]

I have a lot of problem on deffense so could you build guide for that man :D ty (how to block how to escape corner and on)

[@virtuosolume4114]

One extra tip I'd like to add: After you practice your combos on a static Dummy, practice confirming them on a CPU at level 5 or so. Stress ruins inputs, and all your work can go out the window if you dont practice against some resistance.

[@YOSFP]

casual matches can work too

[@maninblack3410]

@@YOSFP yeah, usually after getting a combo perfect left and right in training I’ll hit some casual matches with the sole purpose of landing that combo or at least a portion of it, while still trying to win. Idk if I’m just a really slow learner when it comes to fighting games, but it takes me a long time to get the combo down and then a slightly less long time (but still a while) to actually pull it off in a match. It’s a ton of fun, but can be discouraging. To anyone reading: just stick with it if you’re slow like me, you’ll get there eventually.

[@iloveredvelvet6058]

That's actually a really good tip ty for sharing that 😳

[@markmessi9020]

It's like real life sparring after honing your craft in kickboxing

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

I think i second this one. Sucks to blow a max damage combo when you stun someone during ranked

[@irregulargamer1352]

I already had a feeling that SF6 really wants to bring in new players into the fighting game scene and this training mode confirms it. This is the mentality fighting games should be made with.

[@NGBH]

true,only thing id like is if they had servers for starting players,since me going as a new guy into some casual matches,only to be met by diamonds and golds,that can link 40 combos together while i struggle to fire out a spiral arrow,really demotivates me. like i get it,they are great,but i feel completely beaten down,and unable to focus on improving,when im stunlocked the entire match xD. especially when they have mad amounts of tech that makes a newbie feel its unfair,like i know theres tech for wakeup and grabs,but it feels giga unfair when i grab right next to them while they are blocking,and miss,but tyhey grab me from like 10 meters away XD

[@chrxs61632]

@@NGBH it’ll just be full of vets dominating new guys

[@NGBH]

@@chrxs61632 thats basically whats been happening lmao, cant remember the amount of matches i go into,and i get perfect KO'd 2 times in a row cause some random decides todays the day to go on his alt account and just style on the newbies. Im over here strugglin to pull off a decent combo while bro is demolishing me with 200 combos,ungrabbable,30 different wakeups etc haha

[@austinyun]

​@@NGBHjust go to ranked? That's the point of matchmaking. Like if your skill is far below average then going into an open mode is definitely the wrong choice.

[@rleeton1]

​@NGBH you'll have a better experience with ranked. It actually pairs you with players that are in your skill level

[@thomasdavis3649]

100% the video I’ve been looking for! As a newb eager to learn training mode is overwhelming. Love this!

[@r3stless_82]

For me the Action Timing Display is a godsend. Actually seeing when I can input the next move in a combo makes the usage of combos you found online much easier, because one of my biggest struggles is not knowing when I am able to chain in the next move. In combination with the super cancel indicator it makes a lot of combos easier to recreate for a beginner like me. I still drop them a lot but I understand why and where I messed up my timing. Would be very nice if you could activate those in your Combo videos, would make understanding what you do easier for people like me

[@xmaracx]

Yep, in stuff like strive i had to approximate that knowledge by doing whatever i want to do by just holding up, so this is great.

[@Urlastnerve]

That’s really cool that they automatically programmed the training dummy with preset reactions to help you train instead of having to do it all yourself. That saves a lot of time

[@deathoftheoldme8645]

That’s what I love about roof vids. Before you even click play you know you’re about to witness some fire content

[@DoublemanFM]

Extremely glad you made this video. The fast-track to improvement is knowing how to make Training Mode work the way you want, because knowing is half the battle. Also one small unrelated things for people who are having trouble with extremely tight juggles where you link a special into a Drive Rush, instead of pressing MP+MK > Dash at the exact time your move ends, you can simply hold the parry input during the previous move, mash Forward, and react to the green flash. There's a period of the Drive Rush where your button can't come out but instead gets buffered, and you have plenty of time to react to the green flash and input the move as fast as it can come out.

[@jorge86rodriguez]

Those kind of drills and quality features are much needed to learn the game, is the equivalent of aimlabs for fps. I hope all fg come with them in the future

[@SicklyNickable]

You can set up scenarios like that in training mode in any fighting game, this just makes it a little faster

[@jorge86rodriguez]

@@SicklyNickable for a rookie I think is super convenient to have those predefined configurations. I am in the middle not an expert but not super noob and I appreciate them a lot

love your content so much. not very experienced with fighter games and this is my first SF and ur vids helping me so much! Really appreciate it much love !!!

[@phdbot4483]

Training mode's still my favorite mode in fighting games, and SF6 took it to a whole new level! Not only is the frame data in depth, but also the preset training scenarios are also a great addition. Nonetheless, I'll still have to manually record my own scenarios to practice against such as handling approaches not only from jumps but dashes as well.

[@VivalaG]

Your explanations and showcasing are always so easy to understand. You really have a knack for teaching people and I am so grateful that you dedicated your life to spread your fighting knowledge to everyone else!

[@thevinlanddragon]

When I watched one of your videos for the first time I thought your intro was so strange but now I look forward to it every time.😂 Your SF6 content is the most helpful I've found on KZbin. It feels very down to earth and easy to understand for the layman such as myself who is an absolute noob. Preciate you!✊️

[@IAmYous3f]

Man, I've watched the 1 hour basics video and this one, and honestly, i like how you are explaining everything. I did not feel like they're long videos and learned a lot from them. I am a noob at fighting games, but I'm trying to learn. Your videos are helping a lot. Thank you for making them

[@amylongfield9650]

This guide is everything to me. I have placed on two characters into rookie 1- an absolute beginner - and I've been trying to use training mode but had no idea what I should be doing there. Been doing combo trials, watching pros and trying to emulate what they do in neutral to get in on the opponent, and using the anti air and DI training but am always losing to the same stuff. My offensive pressure is really bad so the bit about random block on the dummy was an incredible piece of advice for me to try learning to hit confirm. TYSM for giving me somewhere to begin!

[@droogeydroogey8950]

Perfect video. I’m always so intimidated by training room and never utilize the tools available. Always just spam combos for muscle memory. This is so so helpful for going to the next level!

Thanks. Good info, including the preset scenarios for ease (instead of needing to record everything). As an animator, I know frames, & have played fighters since the beginning, but I find the two color frame data bars to be confusing, & distracting in covering the characters. I don't make my own combos, but use ones from combo vids, Discord & trials. I know 'block after 1 hit' works for knowing what combos, though. 😉Nice vid!

Thank you so much for these videos. SF6 might be the fighting game that I don't end up dropping. I'm having an absolute BLAST. I truly think it might be one of the best fighting games I've ever played.

[@fl0wey57]

I actually never hit the training mode much during my 5 or so years playing fighting games, but I feel is about time I do so. It’s just like working out. You have to win that struggle and practice a bit everyday and with intent. I hope my 15 minute Zangief practice between ranked will be the start of a good habit!

[@MrBones105]

As someone who’s been playing fighting games for 20 years, I think that it’s easy to kind of hold the idea that you’ll just organically improve if you play a lot, and you will improve that way, but I learned about 5 years ago that training mode is pretty much essential to rapidly and noticeably improving at fighting games. You don’t have to spend hours and hours labbing, really. But I’d recommend starting every day of playing with 15-30 mins of practicing just basic bread and butter things about your character. I’d also recommend making some time for longer training sessions. Focus on specific things you want to improve. It could be a combo, it could be correcting a mistake you commonly make. It could be learning new options for neutral or pressure. Whatever. Watch replays of your own games to identify areas you commonly screw up. Get familiar with the mechanics of the game. I could go on and on, but - all of those involve training mode. It’s super invaluable! And will make you a better player so much faster.

[@crazedrice4284]

I dont know if this is normal in other fighting games, but whatever your training mode reset button is, add a direction to change the side of the screen you reset on. The corresponding diagonal down + left/right will flip the two characters starting position. Has saved me time from having to throw them in or out of the corner.

[@touchao]

The kind of video that teaches you how to teach yourself. The training menu is overwhelming with options. While I enjoy learning from hands-on experience it would not be feasible to unlock your potential simply from fighting opponents.

[@irregulargamer1352]

Fr stuff like figuring out how to exit grab loops and studying moves and scenarios is just as important as randomly fighting people online. Capcom knows this which is why SF6 offers you the option of practicing while waiting for matches and immediately practicing against your opponents character after a match

[@DeadEye364]

I do wish people could post their training settings for others to use. Like these settings for DI counter training, or scenarios for specific characters. Trying to set these up myself is daunting since it requires a lot of game knowledge (character combos, what they usually do in x situation, their frame data, etc). At least SF6 has some pre made options but it only goes so far in the long run.

[@Staineless84]

One thing I think is super useful for newer players, there is a feature that will make your character flash red if you do an attack that can link into a special and blue if you do an attack that can link but only into a super.

[@aarroad574]

What option?
