How Combos Work in Street Fighter 6

Going over combo mechanics
Street Fighter Basics
I will admit, this one was a bit rushed, I was trying to see how fast I could realistically go from idea to finished video. I'm pretty busy normally and don't have much time in my day to make these without pulling super later nights. I might take it down and re-upload later with better quality and all the typos fixed. Anyways, thanks for watching and I hope the content of the video is still good, even if the editing/video quality isn't.

I’m glad I clicked this video. I’m master rank and never knew that lights chain with one another, now I see how all of those Kims and cammys get away with spamming their lights

[@Shorins22]

There’s just so much information to learn! I didn’t know you could hold 2 buttons to backrise and thought you had to tap them until someone watched my defense video and pointed it out.

I just discovered your channel randomly, I still mess up everything, but I have a better Idea of how to practise stuff. I hope your channel grows and you keep bringing us this kind of videos, or match analysis or whatever. You are super helpful. I've managed to reach plat 1 with Kimberly, Ken and Akuma, but I'm hard stuck there (close to plat 2 with Ken ) because I lack fundame tals, and I can't hit confirm to save my life. I'm not used to poke and buffering, and I need to know what specials are safe on block, because If I buffer after a poke, and it connects but gets blocked, then the special is probably going to get blocked aswell, and if it's not safe, then I eat shit lel.

For these being basics vids, please also explain more about how to read the frame data meter and how it helps learn the timing, as those links are remarkably precise in practice. For a lot of true newbs, like I was when this game came out, that'd really connect the dots. I should say that I'd played a lot of non modern fighters and before they were heavily designed around frame data, but it's a completely different learning experience.

[@Shorins22]

@@Jarrych83 I hadn’t considered tying execution to that before, I’ll give it some more thought! The links aren’t as precise as you think anymore, since street fighter 5, the games have an input buffer system that let you press the button a few frames early, and the button will come out as fast as possible. There’s still an element of timing to it that’s difficult, but there’s no (or very very few) 1 frame links anymore.

[@Jarrych83]

@@Shorins22 Yeah, true. Just amazing how tight a lot of it is. A lot of gamers who play more flexible combo games like Strive immediately note how tight that part of the game feels. I've also found that the frame meter and the cancel window indicators help a LOT with connecting frame data to the animations and making those things link. I've been talking about this with a few people and was considering putting together a "for beginner by beginner" sorta video on this stuff, but then you kinda hit it on the nose.

[@Shorins22]

@@Jarrych83 Yeah links take a bit to understand the timing for. The advice I got when I was new was just “if your move doesn’t come out, you’re doing it too fast. If it doesn’t combo, you’re doing it too slow.” It only clicked for some friends that wanted to learn the game and I was teaching when they heard the rhythm of the link through my buttons. There’s not really much else like links in other games, so as a musician I have a much easier time conceptualizing it than maybe a lot of other gamers would.

[@Jarrych83]

@@Shorins22 that makes sense. So any of the in-game tools that help with connecting those things are good. And if you don't have someone else to "hear," it can be tricky that way.

Nice 🎉

[@Pacman300]

I really like how you explain the game, but the video quality goes down sometimes to like 480 even though it's supposed to be 720p.

[@Shorins22]

I'm not quite sure why that's happening, but I'll try to figure it out and fix it next time, thanks for pointing it out.

[@DatDirtyTaco]

@@Shorins22it’s only effecting the game footage not the edits/overlay so it probably has something to do with the encoding while ur screen capping. Check ur CPU and GPU usage next time u record 👍🏼

[@Shorins22]

@@DatDirtyTaco Thanks! I noticed my encoding was pretty low and I just upped it in obs. Testing it out and it seems that did the trick.

What character would you recommend my friend start with if he's a complete beginner to fighting games?

[@Shorins22]

@@Neagomesha I’d just say pick whoever looks cool! Every character is good and viable at a high level.

[@waishanchan5316]

May I ask how to practice? for example Akuma 2lp 5lk or Ryu 5hp 5lk? Is it just by feel, sound hints or how to press buttons? I play the game with leverless. Thank You.

[@Shorins22]

I have a guide on how to improve execution here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bImYlH2Vnqmoo6M It shows you some techniques and how to practice in training mode :)

[@bardockvegetable6377]

Ryu 5HP and 5LK do not link nornally only on counter hit, BUT it does link into 5LP

this is some basic shit ... nice! Saying the things that go without saying is important

[@Shorins22]

@@lamMeTV Exactly! There’s so much knowledge we build over the years, and a lot of people wouldn’t even think of mentioning it to someone who doesn’t know. The only difference between a beginner and expert player is knowledge and experience.
