How to use blockstrings in Street Fighter 6 [Jamie Specific strings + general knowledge]

Kaution saving the whole jaime community days in the lab. If anyone can find jaime's hidden "slept on" potential, its this man. I am sure

i was hardstuck gold for like a month and i found your channel a few days ago and your tech helped me blow through all the kens into platinum! i feel like learning jamie from these videos has really helped my fundamentals, once i realized everyone in my rank was facerolling and picked up a lot of bad habits it was like that scene in the matrix where neo kills his first agent and could see the code

[@jacobwhite9159]

one thing i picked up on was that you could condition people to mash on medium rekka from the lp+lk+mp target combo, and if they beat you once you just switch up to light rekka and its endless counter hits from ken mains

[@kaution6829]

Awesome job brother, I am really happy to see you've grown from purely watching my content, that means a lot for me to keep making more! Thank you for sharing you're experience

[@yachisan]

Here and ready to take notes Teach Kaution! Thank you always for such insightful and in-depth videos man. I’ve watched your first Jamie guide beta-SF6 about 5 times now. Trying to cram as much knowledge into my head as possible at this rate.

[@kaution6829]

Stuff like this makes me want to keep going. So thank you for the lovely comment, I appreciate it!

​@kaution6829 please do man your the Goat!!!!!!

[@yachisan]

@@kaution6829 Of course mate! I’m always willing to support.

[@hanabadah5037]

I never understood medium punch. Now I know I can use it if the opponent is blocking my light strings to give myself even more pressure opportunities.

[@joelmyers427]

I think there's a lot you can do with 2LK>2LP>2LK for a blockstring as well! It's slightly more minus than ending with 5LK, but it has so much pushback that most characters 2MKs whiff even if you're crouch blocking. 5HP will still connect afterwards too if they don't press buttons. Great video!

[@kaution6829]

Ooh thanks for sharing, I will try to lab that string as well!

[@randymartin9040]

Videos like this are so awesome for explainining the mentality of setting up the spacing traps etc. I wanted to alternate my pressure strings and you've given me a bunch of ideas to capitalize on, thanks for all your videos!

[@kaution6829]

I'm.glad to hear it man, thank for your comment!! Made my day

[@drink_level_infinite]

I learned so much from this video! Thank you Kaution!

No u! :)

[@alanb1449]

I was starting to feel like I shot myself in the foot choosing Jaime as my first ever SF character, but your videos have helped me out enormously in not only learning the character, but figuring out how the game itself works. Can't thank you enough

[@kaution6829]

Im glad to hear stuff like this! thank you for the kind words and good luck with the grind!

[@endlessXnow]

Learning his safe jumps really helped me get out of Platinum! I find now that my biggest problem is being thrown when im trying to punish and being punished when i try to anticipate a throw, Diamond seems to be throw central. Hopefully these tips will help me avoid a lot of walk up throws if i condition myself to be taking advantage of the spacing provided by the jabs.

Anything to help out my fellow jamie players!

[@OsanoHimself]

Dude, so many good setups here ! Thanks I'm gonna try it out

[@kaution6829]

Have fun!!!

[@leunghenry8467]

Amazing setup technique! Thank you bro 💪🏻

[@shulymaru]

For the Cr. Mp section, one good reason to use it is that the move have disjoint hitbox

[@kaution6829]

Absolutely

[@SunnyBanerjeePlus]

This was extremely helpful and full of good knowledge. Thanks a ton

[@kaution6829]

You're welcome!!

[@chaosdestruct]

Next we need burn out block strings! 2 things id like to add which i use a lot. In or out of block strings if his overhead hits as a counter, which in block string i feel like it does often, i do cr.lp into his target since its more reliable than just his target, and if the over head doesnt hit as counter the cr lp would either be blocked where you can restart pressure or would hit as a counter and you would go into hit target after. 2) when opponents block his lp lk mp combo, if you go into lp rekka instead of mp(true block string) it forsome reason has a gap where it works as a frame trap. I do that to mix it up and hope not to end up negative after his target, on top of drive rush after the last hit

[@kaution6829]

Good stuff, thanks for sharing!!!

[@victorbashorun4516]

Yo appreciate you dropping this knowledge on us! Raising my Ki levels with this! Also don't know if I'm doing something wrong but that back Heavy String (2LP > 2LP > 5LK > 4HP) seems to only work on crouching opponents + drink lvl 3. Wanted to point that out in case it is that specific

[@kaution6829]

Yes is indeed specific because crouching opponents have an expanded hurtbox compared to standing opponents

[@phanmn1]

I was in a discord and asked about blockstrings. Then this vid showed up. Thanks so much!!

[@kaution6829]

Whar a coincidence haha, happy to help!

[@banjax-fgc]

Im definitely trying this to improve my gameplay. Cheers

[@jamgUNoh]

thanks for the vid bro

[@c.cudder1234]

Awesome, this really helps alot. I haven't been able to beat my cousin's Deejay, so it will come in handy 🤣. Also, know any combos that confirm into Jamie's lvl. 1?

[@kaution6829]

Od palm In the corner, TC is possible as well, and any DR combo works too. Keep mind the use lvl 1 sometimes not only for the damage but to put someone in burnout. Pretty sure you can get lvl 1 from od divekick as well

[@c.cudder1234]

@@kaution6829 Awesome, will try! Thanks so much! 🔥

[@yama1019]

Thanks for the video but I guess those space traps with b.hp are only doable with 3 dinks and higher

[@kaution6829]

Most of em yes because DL3 b.hp generates more pushback

[@oZiiix]

the crMP block string works on Ryu, Ken, and Juri, but doesn't on kim, luke, jp, cammy, guile, manon, marisa, and DJ. I haven't tested the rest of the cast yet but those characters can mash crLP and counter hit the cr mp. But crLP,crLP, stand MK works against Guile if he mashes crLP after 2 hits.

[@kaution6829]

mhmm, in that case you can just do 3 lights instead, but thanks for sharing , i appreciate it!

[@oZiiix]

@@kaution6829 No problem! Love the vids

[@Dr_Leo_Dude-ss4mu]

Great tech, however a lot of it is character specific. I tried labbing this with Luke and Marisa and their lights just reach farther, interrupting the cr. medium punch or Standing Heavy, on some scenarios. This works on Ryus stubby jab. Parry Goes a long way however.

[@kaution6829]

It's definitely character specific, it was more of a showcase of what can be possible with cr.mp or b.hp or other slower normals. I will at some point make a compilation of which strings can work vs which character.

[@Dr_Leo_Dude-ss4mu]

@kaution6829 Oh I see. It's also really cool, because this vid helped me practice in a more efficient way. I was practicing a lot of impractical stuff, that isn't either super viable or too specific and therefore almost impossible to apply in a real match. I really enjoyed this, because it helped me consider how to work on something properly. Its really neat to now ask the question "If I throw this button in this sequence, what can my opponent do, and what are my options against that?"

[@kaution6829]

@Dr_Leo_Dude-ss4mu exactly this! And with that thought process it becomes very fun to learn and discover things you can do! Glad to hear it man, best of luck to you.

[@camgoodkicks]

Bro is that a Gogeta color mod for Jamie?!

[@kaution6829]

Yes sir, you can find it on nexusmods, literally called gogeta mod :)

[@Zimmer8000Gaming]

Is there a proper way to change these blockstrings when drive rush is involved? A drive rush jab or normal in general seems to make the spacing weird

[@kaution6829]

Drive rush normals create less pushback than the same normal without drive rush,.so you'll have to adjust the strings when doing it from drive rush

[@anthonymagee5725]

How did you come up with your block strings?

[@kaution6829]

I lab for hours trying to find what works in combination with block reversals!

[@anthonymagee5725]

@@kaution6829 I guess I’m trying to figure if there are gaps between blockstring normals than on hit normals that combos. I hope I said it correctly. Can you make an in-depth video about how block strings are put together? Idk I’m just trying to figure this out. My main is guile.

[@kaution6829]

@@anthonymagee5725 You could look at the frame meter to see if there are gaps, but i could perhaps go a bit more in depth on how the frame meter works.

[@anthonymagee5725]

@@kaution6829 it would be greatly appreciated bro. I just learned about buffering and negative edge today. It’s becoming more exciting to me now. However developing block stings is a lil more concerning.

[@anthonymagee5725]

@@kaution6829 when looking at the gaps, do you count the empty bars as frames or what do those empty bars represent?

Ssb gogeta color jamie

[@RIPLOUDOG]

is that modded skin supposed to be gogeta or am i obsessed

[@kaution6829]

Yes and yes ;)

[@simok9598]

How can you make back hp connect after standing lk? If i try it whiffs

[@kaution6829]

Is the opponent in crouch stance? This is important because in crouch stance your hurtbox expands compared to standing, most players will block crouching to avoid getting hit by lows. If that doesn't happen in a real match you can adapt once again to their behaviour. Hope this helps!

[@simok9598]

I was trying with opponent standing, thanks!

[@Maggotbone]

Why test this on Ryu rather than Ken?
