[@PrecludeLP]

There's an option in training mode that highlights your character red during special cancel frames, and blue during super cancel frames. This really should have been included in the video.

[@kelzakdub]

What is that setting called?

[@BrotherShaw]

It is a godsend

[@TheHikariOne]

I had no clue this was a thing. Kudos lmao.

[@lmpoknya]

Bless you for this tip, didnt know it existed

[@ginglebret]

​@@BrotherShawAgreed, they stocked the lab with full glassware and all the specialized bits and bobs, this go 'round; it's incredibly useful.

[@DanceKevinDance5]

Honestly every person who feels frame data is overwhelming should watch this video. Jwong did a great job with the explanations.

[@xthaking]

I played fighting games in the past but wanna take it seriously and always get lost in the sauce with frame data 😵‍💫 😂

[@hountybunter]

​@@xthakingsame.. allways played more feelbased then numberbased 😅

[@krysbrynhildr]

The trick is of course being able to remember any of it in the heat of battle, or after you've set the game down for any length of time.

[@ZypherGaming]

man im still overwhelmed i have no idea wtf he was saying by the time i got 5 min in 😢

[@rubberonasphalt]

I usually drive rush into no-pants, cancel OD-dookie rekka, heavy TP, finish into handwash. The timing is tricky, your legs can go numb and you wont get Oki

[@fredastaire6156]

Man, don't know how many of these comments you read but I really appreciate you braking down this frame data science for me. I'm just at the point of transitioning from casual gaming supers and jump in combos to getting in to the intricacies of frame data combos, and connecting specials. I love how deep this street fighter world is. Thank you so much!

[@romexiv994]

Jwong thank you so much. Been trying to learn how to read frame data for years now. Don’t know why it felt so hard but you broke it down perfectly

[@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot]

It's really quite simple, but it's natural to be scared away as a new player if you've never looked into it.

[@romexiv994]

Thanks!

[@8405bleach]

These kind of videos are why you're my favorite fighting game pro I've learned so much so so much just from watching you I've taken my Street Fighter game to a whole higher level just from watching you

[@shanenoah2695]

I actually didn't realize that a drive rush gave the same frame data as a punish counter. Thanks for the great content Justin.

[@OP10thNakama]

These videos help spectators to understand the intricacies of the Combos you see on screen. Thanks for highlighting the additional frame advantage from punish counters and drive rush

[@zackbalins658]

I actually picked up quite a bit of info from JW in this video. I knew VERY little about frame data before this...and now I feel like I have the basic idea. Fighting games have always attracted me and I do enjoy them, but, I've never been any good with Street Fighter. I actually haven't picked any up since Guilty Gear (which I am trash...lol) SF4 or Tekken 6.

[@krystal7916]

I've learned more about frame data in this video than at any other time ever. Thank you for dropping these gems

[@SeigneurTurel]

Justin Wong isn't just an excellent player, he's also an excellent teacher. I really enjoy your videos, thank you !

[@ElijahBrill-s6z]

Chun was my first character starting to learn and now im learning terry i haven’t mastered anyone but this video helps alot thank you! Jus got my first fight stick

[@skatcat31]

This is the single greatest contribution to learning fighting games in the history of KZbin due to the digestable format that SF6 puts it into. If any other fighting game doesn't have this learning system, it's really over...

[@DZZZZZ]

Tekken better catch up. Especially after the bs they pulled by charging for frame data 🤦‍♂️

[@steel5897]

Yeah SF6 is the new gold standard. I've been a casual fighting game fan who never understood frame data ever, but 10 minutes playing with the frame meter in SF6 made me get it immediately, in a way no 30 minute long tutorial ever did.

[@loopseeker]

@@steel5897love to hear it. i feel like the term 'frame data' frightens a lot of people, but its way simpler than they think. sf6 did a great job making it digestible

[@heroninouye]

Justin + Chun Li = Audience happiness

[@CosmicRPG]

Justin + Chun Li + Ken + Parry = Evo moment 37 is back.

[@voltaicthief646]

Let's go Justin!!!

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

I literally came here knowing nothing from a let's go Justin Botan clip and this is the first comment thread I see lmao.

[@pimpedoutgeese4584]

This is a fantastic explanation honestly. Makes me want to go try out new moves in the lab. Thanks for this!

[@Ayrtist]

An in-depth guide to a character’s moveset from a pro is fucking dope. Especially for new players. Wish there were more guides like this.

[@CLOUDY_mac]

Coming to SF6 from SSBU, the concepts I can understand fairly well. Frame data, advantage and disadvantage, shield pressure all make sense. Combo routes are a little tougher for me but I think that's gonna come w practice and time. I am tired of fighting cammy w modern controls online tho lol

[@thtlonelyguyify]

This video actually helped me a lot . I always saw the bar on peoples videos when in training mode but had no idea what the hell it was for.

[@jerrycesaire6889]

Thank you so much for this video I needed this. I have been struggling in this game because I didn’t understand the mechanics. This is a huge help.

[@jhermaineharris2142]

I understand it but still need a lot of work. Lol. Glad to have a video like this. Will need to study this but still happy to get an explanation. Thanks bro!

[@DuozzaFGC]

Thank you for breaking down the frame explanations 👍🏾

[@gustavofernandes7814]

9:45 fucking this!!! the frame meter made it so easy and so much more fun to learn frame data. I've been aware of it for a long time, but i never used it to learn chaaracters the way i do with this game. For example, i was trying to figure out what to do after Chun's EX leg, which gives me 29 F advantage, then by just looking at certain moves frame data and active frames i could figure out something to do, which is dash (19f) and 4HP(8F starter, 6 active frames) Surely you could figure this out by just experimenting, but it felt so much more fun to do it this way. It felt like i was using my tiny little brain.

[@PaulMack-md5kh]

I love street fighter and I wish I could understand the game like this. Because of dyslexia I can't look at this info and take it in and use it so everything I do in the game is through trial and error and then muscle memory. The highest I've gotten on a character so far is bronze with Ryu 😅. Love your content Justin keep up the good work 👍

[@omaislindodesantos]

One thing to remind in SF6, the frame bar color, show what is startup, active, recovery, so you can see exactly what is happing.

[@kagezen]

That taking a shit example was hilarious! Made me really laugh! You've earned my sub!

[@kouxiong92]

Thank you for explaining about the frame data. I never knew it was this important. U explain it clear, simple and easy to understand. Will have to put the frame data knowledge to use now. 😂😂

[@Argumemnon]

Cammy feels most natural to me, but damn do I run bad in this game. 2-19 this morning. Ridiculous. I've never had this much trouble online or offline with any fighting game. I need a coach, Justin!

[@Se0ulS0ciety]

Thx Justin...hope it will help a "grandfather" like me to progresss in Fighting Games. Kid of the 90th and there is no better genre than games like SF, KOF, Tekken or SamSho :)

[@PerfectPencil]

i might need to watch this video a few times to understand anything you're saying, justin. But i appreciate you saying it!

[@loopseeker]

go into training mode with the vid it may click then

[@PablxVillarreal]

Dope video brotha 🎉

[@Haggieboi]

Thank you Justin for this video. I really liked how you broke down the process step by step. I never played chun li but now I might try her with this process.

[@anthonymagee5725]

You by far explained this clearer than anyone I know.

[@Lexicon865]

Honestly I just learned characters via trials First three I mained aka JP, Juri and Ken were characters I was already interested in + the latter two I tried in the demo alongside Jamie. Marisa is another character I'm interested in too but am still working on her (somehow better at JP than Marisa lol. Then with Dhalsim and Zangief, the former seemed kinda fun + his trial modes were fun, and the latter is admittedly fun which is bizarre cuz I've never liked Gief as a character and I still don't but idk. Literally attempted placement ranks with him as a joke and instantly got Gold 3 which baffled me

[@AdamantMindset]

omg this is awesome, i was always a gold tier player at max in SFV. at that level you don't really need to care about frame data. just wait for opponent to do some special move and punish. i hit platinum and been losing ever since, i'm slowly trying to get into frame data thing but was feeling lazy to check those stats online and ask different people. Which this guide I can just practice it easily in game and now I know how to make combos. really excited to try it out myself later on.

[@osohista]

so many useful lessons from the old master Wong. I've been walking around pantsless with poop on my butt after every defecation, but now I know that I can actually use that to my advantage and get some juicy counterhits!

[@NotBoringFilms]

you’re the people’s hero with this one, and the street fighter team for making this game so accessible.

[@mike6927]

DUDE! Awesome video. Very helpful. Thank you!

[@grizzymcfire278]

Gotta optimize with the hand wash combo extension

[@mikecampau438]

J Wong hitting the legendary three frame turd drop, it special cancels into wiping and you can finish it with a flush super cancel

[@hughugunnacall2238]

Cheers for this. Very helpful understanding frame data

[@hectorornelas8306]

Justin you are the best man!! You simplified it so that an idiot like me can improve. Thanks bro

[@andrewjaramillo4638]

I still don't understand but what I do understand is this was a very informative video. Just gotta watch it back a couple times to absorb it

[@theluckylux]

While I knew all of this information, listening to someone else explain it helps really sink the information in.

[@evalangley3985]

Well, the game CORE gameplay is the same for every characters, so if you learn a characters, learning the others should be relatively simple unless we are talking about JP which is totally different because you need to learn patterns instead.

[@konignickerchen7265]

I knew about chip damage in burnout, but I wasn't aware that blockstun becomes insane as well!

[@ArtlessIb]

same

[@not3LBL]

9:15 "Remember, stand jab was plus five! You guys remember-" *Stares into my soul for a brief moment* "You guys remember that, right."

[@auron570]

that was an amazing thinkaloud. and damn i wish frame meter became standard earlier, would have been so useful getting into and sticking with fighting games.

[@ErwinBtje]

This video explains so much, thanks!

[@PsychInOz]

Appreciate the frame meter breakdown - was really instructive as had always wondered how you guys come up with original combos and will probably try to go through this process myself. As “shit” jokes… hilarious! Was actually reminded of OG YTuber Peter Chao “rubbing shit on a building” sketch.

[@Evilj82]

The thing is there are only 6 buttons, so before frame data existed, people would just experiment until they found out which moves connected with each other. There is a limit to the amount of combinations there are.

[@loquitran1]

Dude your content is always amazing, thank you so much for this master class, I really appreciate it.

[@marlinmurrell620]

As a smash Incineroar main, I was never a combo heavy player. But I've always been interested in Street Fighter. So now in Street Fighter 6 I'm a Zangief main cause he's a wrestler like Incineroar. I'm really enjoying him. He has some simple combos into lariat. And he has button that I like to use to intimidate my opponent cause they now they're gonna get grabbed soon lmao

[@DiSCERiTY]

Modern or classic controls?

[@marlinmurrell620]

I'm using classic. Inputs aren't too hard. In smash, I also played a lot of Ryu and Terry for secondaries. And sometimes Kazuya for fun.

[@DrSwazz]

Incineroar and Zangief are bros in an alternate universe 😂

[@kSwissh007]

chun li is my 2nd main in this game i already know most of her strats but its still cool to watch this tutorial just in case i find out something new 💯🤗 always room for improvement

[@michaeljhale23]

You know the games good when he skips wiping to get back to the combo.

[@finderbades]

bidet goes brrrr

[@giangatang]

hey new ppl. For us long time fg players we understand these concepts from hours and hours of playing these games. Just wondering if these concepts are easy to understand for all the newcomers out there. I've been so far removed from learning these things I don't remember how difficult it was to understand frame data + other concepts.

[@jamesbutler5630]

I’m new to fighting games and had no idea about any of this I’m bronze level currently. I’m doing well I go on 7 and 8 game streaks but I’m also very inconsistent. I know when I run into stiffer comp I’m going to have to understand frame rate. So confusing lol😅😅 you fighting game guys are gurus

[@giangatang]

@@jamesbutler5630 you mean "Frame Data" lol. Altough I guess frame data is tied to frame rate lol

[@jamesbutler5630]

@@giangatang yeah that’s what I meant!! Lol.

[@TronthaDon913]

Yessir, praise Grandmaster Wong for this educational vid. I for sure needed it

[@t1mson1c]

Thanks! 👍 Very good guide

[@fXoKDM]

This was a great video Justin Keep it up bro Sensei Jwong help people out I love theses videos thank you for taking out the time to explain to everyone on how to learn a new character in a fighting game bro much love to you and your family bro keep up the amazing work bro

I'm happy for Justin Wong you over there losing weight I'm happy for him man!. Keep up the good work.👏👏💯💪

[@AlexMartinez-er2ty]

Now this is what I needed

[@tanzolo4487]

Usually learning a character I keep it simple : 1 learn specials. 2 Learn simpel meterless combo 3 learn optimal mid screen combo 4 learn optimal corner combo. 5 learn what moves safe/plus. Play games.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

Just saw your performance at CEO with Cammy. Was not expectin’ allat lol.

[@Rafael57YT]

I appreciate you using Chun for this

[@Twilight.Princess]

I’ve been a diehard Juri main since SFIV but I’ve really been enjoying Chun in this game. It’s taking a bit to get used to her but it’ll happen.

[@MicroBihon]

Am I the only one here who has a chaarcter they wanna main or at least they think they'd main only to end up maining other characters instead? Im supposed to be a Deejay main but accidently landed to Manon, and I had to rewire my brain to play like a grappler unlike my usual mains (midrange zoners like Testament)

[@mattwalewangko]

I forreal thought I'd main Luke, but I tried all the arcade modes after I played works tour and then I took Manon to ranked 😅

[@vinnyfromthehill]

I wanted to be a juri main but she was too hard for me then i tried manon and now im winning way more fights but i mever played a grappler before she so good 😭

[@dockjordan]

I never thought I’d like Kimberly but I can’t stop playing her

[@thisismybassgun]

I've literally never played Dhalsim, and now he's my main. The characters you vibe with never makes sense, haha

[@MrBones105]

Yeah…I thought I was gonna main Manon but I disliked playing against her too much to feel good maining her. So I switched to cammy but felt like she was too linear. Finally switched to Chun who feels really in alignment with how I naturally play fighting games.

[@JesseIsBetterThanYou]

You didn't need to count the frames for washing your hands since you didn't wipe either. Still clean. Also he never pulled his pants back up

[@damana1000]

That's the price to pay to be plus on frame lmao. You save frames by not wiping, so you also don't need to wash your hands either, and no need to waste time pulling your pants up either. It's OPTIMAL

[@KiMLoKO1]

Oh now I know why Justin is so good... Dude lives in light speed... takes 0.30 seconds to walk from his room to his bathroom... NOT EVEN RUNNING!

[@zobdos]

Killer intro 😂 perfect

[@jackabsolute5525]

Ah that makes sense now. I'm a Tekken player and I find it difficult to pull off combos in SF. Still find it difficult but at least I know the math behind it.

[@Argumemnon]

I'm the reverse! :P

[@Racer-X-090]

Yeah, my brain is way too smooth for this.

[@YagoOliveira-kh2ci]

Yesterday i didin't wash my hands. But i was plus on block. And if you don't brush your teeth you get even more plus frames.

[@surpriser0se]

Justin, what arcade stick would you recommend? Victrixx is not available in the Philippines.

[@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot]

Do it, there's plenty of low level players online. And it's less tense when you have no rank to lose lol.

[@DerrickBarrows]

Thank you!!! 🎉

[@MousePotato_]

Love this man

[@Bardregan]

any tips on finding a happy medium between canceling as soon as possible and mashing the next input to make it happen? 😂 for instance: wanting to do 214 motions in your combo but mashing it out brings the super instead.

[@nisenazo]

Nobody really responded so I guess my amateur take would just be practice. Get comfortable with the timing, it's the only real solution. The mashing happens because you haven't found the rhythm of the combo so to speak.

[@chrisissick3147]

Thanks

[@BigALBoomer]

Really good fucking video master Wong

[@DrSlick]

I’m going to love when Manon gets that nerf patch.

[@mediaglitch]

best intro ever

[@iixlogicxi2544]

Any tips on how to not suck at the game I’m completely new to this genre of game and well to put it bluntly I’m terrible hard stuck iron 😂 I play with classic controls on an arcade stick

[@pokefriend123]

Bro, Kimberly is so bomb idk how you don’t just know already

[@jhsrt985]

I legit can't wait untill final boss masters the new chung li

[@AngelGel01]

Can you do a chun li guide? I don’t really know how to play neutral with her, I got to diamond 5 by playing like a scrub

[@markoholic_]

It really amazes me how players can use more than 2 characters in fighting games, every time I try to learn a third character it feels like my brain is deleting what I learned from the first character lol

[@Evilj82]

Believe it or not, it’s all kind of the same. There are fundamentals. Medium usually goes into another medium. Medium on counterhit tends to be able to go into heavy. Lights usually go into lights. There are universal rules across SF games.

[@virtvirt2792]

bro said chun li and dhalsim gonna take a year to get cooking. POV me as a beginner who was about to main either chun, or dhal 😂

[@faceman3585]

I think Chun is super fun.

[@cylonscion5470]

Now we know Justin doesn't have pants on cuz he didn't put them back on.

[@KickyFut]

You taught so much in so little time! Most of the info is sticking, but one thing: You tell us to cancel into a move... But you don't actually say what canceling is, or how to do it!

[@ArtlessIb]

You probably do it without realising. It's when you interrupt one move with another. Every move has the following frame structure. Startup (fist moves towards opponent) Active (fist hits opponent), Recovery (fist returns to starting position). You can skip or 'cancel' the recovery frames of certain moves by inputting a special move before the first one has ended, and thats how cancel combos work.

[@KickyFut]

@@ArtlessIb so anytime I do a two-in-one like a close fierce into a fireball/DP?

[@ArtlessIb]

@@KickyFut correct

[@ArieN86]

I remember dying laughing live on stream in the chat so much 2 frame poop😂🎉❤

[@thejokergotham384]

So your next hit has to be at least 1 frame faster than their recovery in order for your move to link?

[@Stogey]

How do you setup that frame counter bar with the different colours near the bottom of the screen?

[@MJRLHobbyStuff]

We need a “hand cam” so we can see the hands at work

[@JeffPlaysChannel]

I main chun so this is invaluable information lol

[@only2comment98]

What's really crazy about this game and "combos" though is the window in which you have to string one thing into another. You have like a tenth of a second to push the button, if you do it before or after you didn't "combo." So weird, coming from really only having played Mortal Kombat, where combos are more or less "these buttons work one right after another"

[@straightup3329]

ty for clarifying that it is the same as sfv, I ain't buying it then lol. I'm also a mortal kombat player. I see that in this game you have to mash buttons to make sure they come out at the right time, which I am not into at all

[@tombrooke1281]

​@@straightup3329it's not about mashing, it's about learning the correct timing, it becomes second nature with practice, takes more time than just remembering a pattern I guess because you have to remember the timing also, feels more rewarding though.
