How to Beat Luke: 7 Tips (SF6 Guide)

[@KrazyMeer]

Awesome video as always Chris ! Only thing I think you forgot to mention is that you should NEVER drive impact the HP flash Knuckle when Luke has 3 super bars, as most of the time he will buffer his level 3 and beat the DI with this technique...

[@Chris_F]

Thank you so much! That’s true!

[@TestSubject173]

Luke can also intentional overcharge the medium flash knuckle and catch the DI.

[@KrazyMeer]

true, very hard to super hit confirm tho if you try that@@TestSubject173

[@gwen9939]

Great video! One thing worth noting about punishing sand blast after a perfect parry is that even without the screen freeze it still has the 50% PP scaling penalty as long as it's a punish counter, so even if a character doesn't have access to a long combo starter normal but can only go for sweep, they're not necessarily losing out on much as oki/drive meter damage is what you should be going for in this scenario.

[@Chris_F]

That’s a very good point! Thanks!

[@Jonfgc]

Beautiful I feel so lost when I’m fighting Luke. I play chun and these anti character guides are great!

[@Chris_F]

Let me know if your win rate against Luke improves!

[@Hurtdeer]

good advice. in regards to the second one, and maybe i'm wrong but so far so good in my experience- you can fairly reliably look out for luke's windup for his hp knuckle and DI it. If he projectiles, keep blocking, but if you look at him step back and his arm go behind him, smash that DI asap

[@Chris_F]

I’ll have to check, let me get back to you

[@rickcarter74]

I love your vids! Learning a lot and I appreciate your style of content! Keep it coming.

[@Chris_F]

Thank you so much, I’m working on more!

[@EldritchMephi]

Ive commented on your vids before and had been struggling in mid plat at the time. I finally got to plat 5 today and finally pushed past my plateau! Ive been winning pretty consistently at my rank now. Thanks to you and all the other content creators in the fgc, and my friends that have more xp than me, i was able to put in the effort effectively and get better. Keep it up with the great content!

[@Chris_F]

That’s fantastic!!! Making content is fun but honestly comments like this are the best part for me. I’m going to be streaming on twitch tonight and tomorrow (Japan time) so if you want me to take a look at some replay reviews come and drop by! I’ll have more content soon too! Thanks again

[@EldritchMephi]

Maybe after my cpt midwest run lol 😆 will give a lot more to examine i think

[@Chris_F]

@Mephi_uwu oooo good luck! Let me know how you do ok? I’d love to know!

[@EldritchMephi]

@Chris_F you just got yourself a new subscriber for that, it's very nice of you! I will let you know for sure ♡

[@Chris_F]

@Mephi_uwu thanks! I genuinely mean that too, we all gotta help each other get better!

[@FeltDownHard]

Amazingly helpful video! it speaks for itself that you should consider making a series of this and discuss every character. A video on Ken or JP would be very welcome

[@Chris_F]

Thank you! I plan to make more of these so stay tuned

[@MonkeyBiznessFGC]

Well articulated, in practice sandblast is easier to perfect parry than a fireball which has speeds which vary to a greater degree.

[@Chris_F]

Thanks and yes, I feel like sandblast is a bit easier to parry than a hadouken or even sonic booms

[@sm7085]

Awesome video! This would be great as a series.

[@Chris_F]

That's the plan!

[@RoderickThe13]

Awesome! I look forward to seeing a video like this for Ken

[@Chris_F]

I’ll be doing more of these but please be patient as I have a lot of videos in the weekend

[@jettmanas]

Good info. Seems tough w/him doing something after a MP, or the whole thing. And the LP target combo. Guess you use a L or M button. Thanks.

[@Chris_F]

Thanks for taking the time to comment on a lot of my videos! Not going to be able to reply to each one but trust me I read them all. Really glad to hear you fixed your CFN issue! Hope to see you around during a livestream for some replay reviews

[@jwill7998]

The FGC found the best way to beat Luke: bitch about him until he gets nerfed.

[@stevenluoma1268]

Any tips for characters with weaker reversal options? A lot of these mention interrupting him with a reversal. Im on dhalsim, for example. I guess there's always "just dont let him get started" or "just block and try to tech or mash until you can dive kick" but that's not exactly unique to the Luke matchup

[@josemel12]

Maybe you can teleport if you see Luke's target combo lp-mp-hp- h knuckle

[@Chris_F]

I don’t play sim and he’s a pretty specific character, but generally the idea is if you (as a zoner character) let the opponent get in your face you already made a big mistake

[@stevenluoma1268]

@@Chris_F I did see you can teleport behind him if he charges heavy knuckle after a blockstring. That's about all I got haha. Edit: looks like someone replied with that oops

how to punish hes sand blast

[@Chris_F]

It’s in the video

[@AngelGel01]

Thanks 🙏 I hate Luke more than JP, hope you do more of this

[@Chris_F]

He’s frustrating to fight for sure. Personally I’d rather fight Luke than JP but they are both pretty stressful characters to fight

[@phil4418]

5:17 I cant press a button (8frame or less) after the second hit if he does the 4 hit string, i used Marisa and Ryu mashing it and non mashing it, nothing comes out. Thanks for the video though these will be a big help

[@Chris_F]

That’s the point - if he ends it you get your MP, but if he finishes the string you go for your next punish. It stops the guessing on your end!

[@Rixxytello]

Luke watching this video: 😐

Good! lol

I have time for forward HK or stand HK after perfect parry (fireball) ? Please. (Jamie)

[@Chris_F]

I don’t play Jamie so I don’t know. Test it in training mode

[@zhenluo3563]

you forgot to mention that 214 HP can be cancelled into CA3, which makes the DI option not the best solution. I think the best solution should be perfect parry, for both charged and non-charged version. If you get the Perfect Parry, that's good, if you don't, at least you don't lose too much of your drive gauge. If that's a non-charged version, you can use neutrals that are 4 frames to punish counter it.

[@Chris_F]

This is def good advice for when he has 3 bars

[@FenixPajarito]

It's so boring playing against Luke, it's literally grounded playing walking back and forth till they hit you with either crMP or CrMK. So patience is key...

[@Chris_F]

I think trying to perfect parry into DR to punish his sandblast from close range is really fun

[@rainman1498]

please do anti aki

[@alexanderboytsov1748]

Also, can't luke cancel flash knuckle into lvl3 on reaction if you DI it?

[@Chris_F]

Yes he can, you have to be careful when he has lvl 3

[@saado99]

Exposing that you can DI after that crouch HP Medium Knuckle 😟 great, we're going to get exposed even harder now

[@Chris_F]

We all get stronger that way

[@gavinpowell4607]

Nah, situational bullshit like this is not it. Was looking for a more solid guide, thanks anyway.

[@Chris_F]

I wouldn’t consider this situational, these are all key to fighting good Luke players - especially perfect parry against his fireball
