Expectation: learning how to download your opponent after one round Reality: Hotashi bragging about his 5000 IQ in which he can read his opponent's credit card info through screen

[@TryingToVibe-w4q]

Damn what a game. Hello, I'm the Ky player that you completely obliterated(TryingToVibe) and I have to say I learned a lot from watching this and I will probably watch the actual vod later. Not gonna lie I knew I was gonna take an L but not to this extreme, you read me like a fucking open book like no other and as the match went on and I was getting nowhere, I just started panic and not properly thinking up a plan. I really do need to study up on the Nago match up. I have about 300 hours and goes to show I still have a LONG way to go. GGs man.

[@Kami-tl6sf]

Let’s go

[@xmiseryjokers9570]

good attitude, hope you pull through and do even better man c:

[@Stryfe52]

What! Still here?…

[@Zikudoari]

Hey bro, how's it going? Still grinding GGST?

[@Ferrari255GTO]

Don't beat yourself too much about it, it's all about enjoyng the game afterall and with time you should still learn more and more. Technically i'm still an outsider to fighting games despite having played MANY of them for over 7 years now since a friend of mine LOVES them, but once he introduced me to GGST... It was on. I've never enjoyed any other fighter more than this one and i've gone all the way from tower 6 to actually reaching celestial once and beaten people with ranks FAR HIGHER than me in the open park. In the end it comes down to understanding both of your characters and responding, if you can't understand what's going on you're already SO FAR behind it's esentially over unless your oponent is inconsistent and drops or whiffs strikes, until you learn the whole roster you still have a disadvantage against some people, and from there on it's polishing basic gameplay to perfect every input to the right frame

[@pian-0g445]

He makes a good point he doesn’t explicitly say, and that’s to learn the matchup and different setups basically off by heart. When you can can read a situation, you can automatically pull the plan out by muscle memory, meaning less stress and brain power being used.

[@yugijak]

This is probably what i keep not doing Whichales remembering my options and inputs way harder

[@iorilamia]

It’s a 9 minute video about a top player flexing about his reads.

[@Lolwe31]

Yah kind of insufferable to watch lmao

[@ATLZombie]

I wanna be roasted by Hotashi so I can learn something. Sometimes I adapt to things but I really have no gameplan I just be vibing mostly. Even in tournaments lol.

[@demiurge2501]

I just do knowledge checks until the opponent counters, then idk what to do

[@aeg8437]

I just play without even using a single braincell

[@Person_Not_Known]

Ino's death scream is so visceral.

[@I_Burger]

Damn this actually helpped a lot. I realize I don't have a solid gameplan at all.

[@baadshahmiya]

So basically, Play 1000 hrs of guilty gear strive and learn how to deal with MU knowledge check scenario's Otherwise get destroyed

[@yosha101]

That first question always reminds me of the fact that I sometimes adapt to my opponents bullshit and win, then I expect them to adapt cause their gameplan is flawed so I lose cause I started looking for nonexistent changes in gameplan/game knowledge, then I realize we are both idiots go back to literal round 1 adaptation and beat them consistently.

[@himeistrying]

this happens to me sometimes too lmao, I'd just say if you're doing something that's working keep doing it until your opponent can prove they're willing to try literally anything else to stop getting their ass ate

[@Stryfe52]

I swear man. I’ve fought people who I’d literally 98% OF THE TIME spam grab on their wake-ups, and they’ll still DP anyways.

[@alexanderdenison2950]

Seems like this video ended up being less about sniffing out defensive habits and more about the importance of having a super effective level 1/autopilot gameplan memorized but thats only because almost nobody in this video could keep up lol, I feel like this topic could be addressed again with players whose defense actually challenges your level 1, whenever you run into them that is. Maybe as part of post tourney vod analysis or something?

[@Shearsss]

The probing of new opponents should be muscle memory. In tournament you have to assess your opponent in one round or get sent to losers. If you don't have those tests in place for your opponent then you won't be able to capitalize in time. You don't get to play the game at higher levels until you have this ability. I do not have that ability.

[@unlurnd8494]

Sounds like the pre requisite is knowing ur char and game plan so that u can focus on interpreting responses to your game plan? Basically know ur character deep so u can max out what u can learn from each interaction?

[@drinkingproblem8934]

6:35 this feels like massive character privilege ngl. Maybe it's just my experience playing Faust but having this kind of comfort is an alien concept to me

[@DeertickDaniel]

Classic form of “instead of learning and taking advice I will blame my character” like if you think it’s so bad and holding you back just choose a different character (and realize that’s not how it works)

[@NiceO1]

Ah yes, KZbin, this is most definitelly ssbu and not ggst

[@johndissociative8331]

I still have a lot to learn about fighting games.

[@hyphenq]

6:45 Children's Story, omfg 💀

[@2ndThought_]

Thank you very much for the insight.

[@sheipi9978]

bro those poor players...

[@AamaaKingu]

Liked for the Public Enemy. Stayed for the expert deconstruction although its hard to concentrate on the analysis with such bangers in the background...

[@bobbackwards8481]

got distracted at 2:20 that was so nasty

[@lucaspousa7564]

get styled on, ma'm

[@Rosem_Blossom]

Many times when I am ''applying pressure'' / hitting a blocking opponent they just sweep me to stop me but you never get woken up? (I have been playing the game for about a week now so I don't know a lot about the game yet) How come I get 'woken up' by blocking opponents very often but it doesn't seem to happen to you as frequently. I am assuming it has something to do with spacing?

[@pcgeek_1862]

Hey Hotashi, I've been doing nothing but dying to Baiken and I want to give up playing fighting games forever. Any advice on how to get better at the matchup?

[@Hotashi]

stop being so dramatic youre not going to quit playing fighting games forever, practice your combos and oki so you can win just by being the better player regardless of the matchup

[@pian-0g445]

Does anyone know the name of the music at the first part of the video?

[@drftr6073]

charles wright? hotashi's overlay has a now playing section

[@Kiternino]

So…why does ky buttons just get fucking ate compared to every other character here? Nago kick is fucking longer and faster…why?!
