How to Overcome the Platinum Plateau FT

[@pizzaboy220]

11:27 Scarra convinced he's not mashing while 4 heavy punches show up in the input reader is so funny, caught in 4k

[@JB-xw1zq]

That was me a couple months ago :')

I honestly double press a lot without even noticing it. A lot of league champs have some awkward cast times that make comboing weird when you play multiple characters, so to get around it and be more homogenous amongst the cast, I think plenty of people simply double tap buttons (which is one of the great things about any switch that has no "bump"). It became super noticeable to me before FGs though, because there is a character called Hwei (which I think has a similar control scheme to invoker from Dota2 as well, thouhg I can't personally confirm), where you select a set of abilities with button press 1, then use another button press to cast an ability, meaning double tapping woudl cause me to simply cast my QQ, WW, or EE ability, and make it impossible for me to get say, QW, QE etc. It was only when i ran into this situation where my habit strictly prevented me from playing the champion that I realized i was double tapping almost everything.

Honestly these type of community team competitions involving all skill levels is the best type of content for the FGC. I recently saw something similar in Taiwan and all the new comers improve so quick it's actually scary.

[@deadz3n830]

Diaphone is such a GOAT of a coach and you can tell Scarra is having fun learning the game. Wholesome content.

[@weforgot7151]

Thanks for making the most practical FGC educational content (props to scarra for being the student here). More people need to take this template for "problem -> solution" kinda stuff but in a high level way. Keep on being one of the best FGC creators! :3c

[@selfselected]

I'm a new player that wants to learn Manon and this match was soooooooo informative. I'm still far from making use of the 50/50 mindgames but I could make note of all the important buttons, because in other videos of experienced players I get lost with all they use. I also made note of the combo that Scarra keeps making, looks like "bread and butter" combo as people say. So grateful for this.

[@nicbishop311]

Wow, the editing, the script at the beginning 👌

[@TheCJRhodes]

yeah, not enough people wild'n out about the editing in this one. it's damn good.

[@Mone_M1]

bro the ryu match at the end, well done holding up and adapting! dude was playing so fast...

[@zanpakutoman4225]

This is probably the most fun level to watch a player, when they're practicing for Sajam Slam. It's nice to see some silliness from the beginners, but sometimes it can be a little frustrating watching them actually try to practice. The top level players, that aren't coaches, are mostly just grinding and finding out about more specific tech for situations. Still interesting, but nothing too different from normal training sessions. Scarra's at that perfect mid level, where he knows what he's doing and what he wants to do. He just needs some guidance on how to get into those advantageous situations. Also, he still doesn't know some mechanics like back rolling. So, there's still that feeling of watching his understanding of the game expand significantly, just from learning he can hold 2 buttons when getting knocked down.

[@PhiDX]

Not the McDonald's uniform 😭

[@Flashlegz]

Great stuff, the training parts are my favourite for the slams

[@booboothefool840]

15:45 “remove that move from your memory” lmaoooo

[@masumasumasu]

scarra and boxbox being labeled as tft players instead of league players these days is wild to me

[@weihfnoinwdvo]

Right??? Shits crazy scarra was a top player

[@Sheltur_0311]

i mean boxbox knows it himself, the nightcore days are over

[@weihfnoinwdvo]

@@Sheltur_0311 :( that made me sadder than it should’ve LMFAO I still remember the clips

[@Sheltur_0311]

@@weihfnoinwdvo yeah thats how i feel but atleast the boxbox outro still uses nightcore songs i think

[@harpot678]

Legitimately what was the last year that LoL were either of their most streamed games

[@JB-xw1zq]

Yoooooo, so hyped for the slam!!!

[@misplaydave]

You’re an amazing coach, hope your team wins it this year

[@MidRangeBandit]

I honestly love to see all the players I used to watch when I played League play fighting games. League/FGC/Melee crossovers are my favorite thing to see

[@Nafffffffffffffffffff]

I am newly a high plat Manon player, this might as well been a guide for specifically me. I am blessed, thank you brother.

[@venkaramon]

Just gonna say fighting those streamers in JP are gonna be hard. They're all actually SF6 streamers and they regularly hold fight club meetings where they just play a fuckton against each other. They're coached by pros some times and they participate in nearly ALL SF6 events that they can. REJECT SF6 streamers are really strong I can't wait to see that match up

[@JB-xw1zq]

That ending though 🤣

[@am_frog]

Why's this video have an intro like a meet the team moment in a heist movie? I am sports entertained.

[@Mone_M1]

good stuff!

[@monkeyslapapparatus]

FINALLY, after Lily kept screaming at Scarra to focus, practice, and lock in!

[@daddeech.1412]

Peak thumbnail XD

[@Hallowyun]

WOW I AM EARLY. gl king 🙃

[@ghhdgjjfjjggj]

Thanks, I needed this video. I am HARD stuck in plat...

[@thekillaboy8817]

I need a Kimberly coaching video exactly like this vid 😭😭

[@T2Designgaming]

Good video🎉

[@jessieansell6168]

holy shit I learned so much

[@NikDavis]

May I request to see a Jamie coaching sesh in the future? 👉👈- Or if anyone knows of one, feel free to recommend in reply!

[@Letsplaykelvin]

The OD spin into kick cancel is actually a combo extender she can use to tack on more dmg to the deafult bnb while spending only 2 gauges instead of the drive rush extension which does less dmg for more bar. So instead of jHK>4HP(2MP if too far for 4HP)>DR>2MP>4HP>236MP you can do jHK>4HP>OD236P(kick cancel)>4HP>236HK>236LP. DMG difference is 3500 to 3620(+ you regen 1,25 bars back roughly, so the difference in bar is effectively 2.25 bars less spent for 120 more dmg )if the first combo uses the 4HP but if you can't use it cuz of range then the second combo doesn't work, but my point is merely that the move is far from useless.

[@Diaphone]

I agree it's def good, just not a move you need at platinum

[@Letsplaykelvin]

@@Diaphone true

[@eduardoserpa1682]

All the slammers are capital G Gamers, but getting the TFT guys is gonna pay off big. It doesn't hurt that Scarra and Boxbox are known quantities.

[@CrazyLikeChris]

Quality

[@Sircinus3005]

I ended up playing against Scarra twice this weekend in ranked. He had me worried for a bit with them throws 😅.

[@kinnngcruz884]

Diaphone with the TFTeam

[@floki859]

im diamond 2 with terry, id love any tips on like how to enter the flow state in ranked

[@misplaydave]

To catch a masher

[@popi92dc]

I want this type of content but with granblue T.T. Fun video anyways!

[@ElvesSousa]

As a Manon beginner, I am glad that the move I never use is the one I am allowed to forget. What a guide!

[@finja2164]

Against scarras opponents I think j m.k into light command grab cheese will catch them a lot especially if mixed with the occasional m.p

[@tallergeese]

I'm a Diamond 1 Manon and Scarra seems better than me. Haha.

[@KillerSquidHugs]

Scarra won't be in plat for much longer I think

[@whizthesugoi]

Why do y'all in the comments sound more and more like AI with each passing day? Am I with a stuffed nose?
