Zato’s win condition is not losing. Edit: I think people are misinterpreting my joke. It isn’t that Zato is bad it’s that he’s really good at everything except disadvantage.

[@elijahwise7720]

His win condition is play better.

[@QuasiGame0]

That's chipp

[@MaikSpike]

His win condition is to pick Sol

[@cmac_psycho600]

Well said bro

[@xaviersanchez3498]

I like how he got to Anji and was like “idek” and as an Anji main idfk either man lol

[@forget3100]

Anji's win condition is the opponent failing to guess the mix-up.

[@KingAfrica4]

@@forget3100 no guessing, just react lol

[@ArcticWolfGod]

Yeah I thought that too lol

[@bowow4602]

Just guess right

[@akumarage217]

You don't even have to guess. You can just hold jump and at worst if he frame traps you with the slash option from fujin then all u take is like 5 percent and you are out of the situation anyway

[@thedanish5523]

I think Anji's goal is to convince the opponent to interact with his pressure in the wrong way and get an enormous counterhit from it. To do this he builds some of the best RISC in the game and can reset pressure in a few different ways (236K, cS, Fuujin hop) that require the opponent to pick one correct option among several to counterplay. He has the third highest life in the game because his life is a resource you should use to figure out your opponent's habits and give you a buffer if your opponent gets lucky and guesses right a lot. Midscreen Fuujin is extremely weak and all the followups are reactable, while half are mashable (3/4 are mashable for some characters like Pot). Your goal should be to avoid getting to Fuujin as much as possible midscreen. In the corner Shin becomes another option for pressure resets and there are ways to make it mega plus.

[@Snooopysniper12]

anji doesnt have a win condition he is just waiting for the other player to let him win

[@SimplyOsk1]

@@Snooopysniper12 well post 2d and post grab fujin is a strong tool. You get k followup which you can use to grab again, 2d to fujin or k to 2d to fujin. He essentially just sets up the vortex and sprinkle in the other fujin followups

[@gungy_vt]

Personally, I view the Fuujin followups as: Nagiha - guaranteed on Fuujin hit, not safe if they block it; Rin - use when you feel they're expecting Nagiha, or when you know it'll connect since it can be blocked outta Fuujin hit; Issou - use for combos or with grab when you read them holding block; Shin - use mostly in corner to mix people up if they're trying to mash while blocking low, since that deals with every other option. But I'm still learning.

[@Okagemi]

Thank you for a video that isn't just "These characters just mash"

[@289dragonballz]

Sol bad guy gives my bardock season 2 vibes tbh , really good buttons and great in the corner, good damage , he’s got the red headband most important 😂

[@aegisreflector1239]

Yup,for me win or lose i dont rematch Sols. Nagos arent too far behind Sols either imo.

[@hilleltaco]

Quick addition for Anji, he does generally get higher return off overhead in the corner, but midscreen you can actually microdash 2K>6HS>fujin for corner carry. Fujin>K if you're far from the corner, fujin>HS>5P for a wallbreak if you can carry them close enough to it

[@rockrune649]

As a May main, the win condition you mention is way better than my win condition of "Of swinging the anchor wildly and hope the game reads my inputs for her special moves, especially Mr. Dolphin as for some reason I can't always make Mr. Dolphin come out. Though instead of Mr. Dolphin to come out when I want to, I end up spamming Yamada Overdrive because I'm flailing around."

[@Astartes00]

No more shotgun corner loops tho thankfully

[@aidanpupilis2979]

At the moment sol kinda fits els role as he is better at everything than every other character and has no bad matchups (all at least 6/4) and if el does get in (I’m dreading the thought) they prolly won’t be as good as they are in xrd, look at chipp, compared to xrd he sucks but in xrd he was insane (being his gimmick). In all I hope el doesn’t get in but if she does I hope they neuter her hard like they did chipp or at least make her more specialized

[@MommysGoodPuppy]

Leo gameplan: knock opponent with sweep or dp and meaty them with backstance k or shield. Once they stop mashing on wakeup mix them up

[@Billybobber47]

after sweep, do you use the far slice then meaty with k? i have been trying to do sweep into far slice S but not sure if its my timing which is off

[@MommysGoodPuppy]

@@Billybobber47 if sweep hits and they get knocked down i use run trough and then k/shield if they grab you on wakeup dash at them once and then run trough and you should get enough space

[@disorderedfm6502]

Man, this video is really simple but some thing every new person should watch.

[@playmaker3116]

1:56 So if I understand this right, Ky's gameplan is pressuring with plus-frames through Shock State and charged stun edge and using that pressure to either get throws or combos ? And the damage is done a lil bit more sporadically than Sol but he still has good dmg. I never really thought about his gameplan actually so it's something interesting.

[@BushidoMauve]

Also hit confirming into super is a great option. It'll carry from half screen and guarantee a wall break so your tension fills faster. I'm pretty sure it leaves them in shock state too.

[@stackin_presents2782]

yea basically any random hit into super is how he can get rolling, i think kizzie kay really embodies how ky should be played

[@saxtonnova]

Hitconfirm in to super is really good as they say. İn fact it is too good you deal 182 damage which is 4 lower than you do when pull off combos (longest combos ky has deal arpumd 186). Which actually makes him boring instead of fun to play. You might do things like knock down the shock stated opponent-charged stunedge-forward drift RC-foudre arc to jump over the opponent- in to a crossup combo which is a fun way to play him but not as rewarding when you look at the damage s-hs-ride the lightning.

[@mirzaizmaname]

My man Ky is too honest. He's still stuck playing streetfighter in a gg universe 😂

[@m0002856]

Ky is pretty alright. I don’t think he’s too bad, but he’s basically a worse Sol which absolutely makes him FEEL really bad. Like Sol kinda just murders you off of anything he lands because he has so many options. Ky has to get some specific moves. But a good Ky in the corner is pretty damn terrifying. He will lock you down hard. Try to jump out and he’ll say no. He just doesn’t get a touch of death off of an air to air like Sol does >.> LOL

[@hoodiehound867]

@@m0002856 Ky really is just Sol but riskier. He's less safe and less scary, but He still has a lot of similar tools that are useful. All they really need to do is make 236S safer or at the very least neutral on hit. Shock state is good but it's hardly useful enough to make the moves that apply it death on block. Ky has a great super and is one of the few characters that are scary on knockdown imo. It's funny, but Sol is a bit too overturned while Ky is a bit too undertuned. I think a few small nerfs and buffs would make them about equal.

[@hylanderOP]

Nago may be at a disadvantage when he's in blood rage however, if the opponent presses any buttons at all they're fucking dead.

[@hoodiehound867]

He's mostly a setplay esque character, but I agree. He doesn't really have options to do impactful damage midscreen without meter, but He can put the opponent in scary situations if they aren't ready for it. The RNG of his setplay is both a blessing and a curse, since neither you or the opponent know what happens next. You really need to be on your toes to optimize as many item toss situations as possible.

[@HeavyMetalLink05]

Failed the Celestial trial 8 times today, but finally got to VIP on the 9th. Don't give up, if you need a break that's fine. But watch your replays, see why you lost. Watching high level players playing your character can help alot with MUs you struggle with TempestNYC showing me the way May deals with some characters helped me more then you could imagine. If someone like me can me can make it to VIP, you can to. Good Luck guys!!!

Only thing I'd add is that ky wants to break the wall asap for the meter gain more than most characters (basically the kizzie strat) so its important to realize when they're going for that if you're playing against them. Another godlike video tho thanks for all the free wisdom LK.

[@manleyfgc7981]

Everyone wants to break the wall asap.

[@TheGavinLaver]

@@manleyfgc7981 bro not at all and definitely not to the level that ky wants to. Theres a lot of characters that legit have a choice whether to break the wall or leave them in the corner for the mix. Ky however turns from mid tier to borderline top tier depending on whether or not he gets an early wallbreak.

[@manleyfgc7981]

@@TheGavinLaver nobody wants to leave people in a corner for a mix. Even if you drop a large combo for oki to mix the opponent, you will still wall break in 2-3 hits at max. It’s better to just go for the wall break every time as it gives positive bonus which is huge in this game. Dropping a combo in the corner means you don’t get that guaranteed positive bonus. That would just be stupid. Trust me on this. Not a single good player is dropping combos short to prevent a wall break. Yes, Ky needs a bar to do serious damage. However, every character in this game wants to wall break if they get the opportunity.

[@TheGavinLaver]

@@manleyfgc7981 I'll take the pro players advice over yours sorry. Specifically lord knight himself. No hard feelings.

[@TheGavinLaver]

@@manleyfgc7981 even if I take all of what you said at face value my statement still stands as far as ky goes. It's really important to understand how much the character wants to wall break and being cognizant that he can single hit into confirming super at mid screen so you should watch out for that specifically. I understand your sentiment but it has nothing to do with my statement about ky's win condition.
