I got SHAMED by Dee Jay's combo trials

[@mallow2902]

To be fair, the rhythm element of Dee Jay's level 2 isn't set to any music, which makes it a lot harder if you ask me.

[@hteety]

As someone who grew up around music, this would definitely be the case for me. I rely heavily on the music in rhythm games to know when to press my buttons. I don't think I would ever be ableto hit that lvl 2.

[@tinkletime3356]

The rhythm super is hard to get down the first time because of the slowing down on the kicks, but once you get it, it becomes pretty consistent, kinda goes to the rhythm of his theme

[@samedwards3186]

Seeing jmcrofts consistently hit the opposite punch/kick of what he needs is honestly a highlight of these videos lol. When he couldn’t get the blanka ball followups I immediately thought “he’s hitting kick isn’t he”🤣

[@antonsimmons8519]

Kim's high-commit because if she weren't, she'd be broken. Unless I'm doing it wrong, her game is about rushdown+mixup, just forcing the opponent to repeatedly guess wrong multiple times per second. Every time I land something, I can EASILY just MELT the opponent's health off nothing.

@@jhinpotion9230 I’m a huge millia fan and Kimberly’s spray can oki tool really peaked my interest, but after playing her for a bit I felt like a lot of her tools are kinda fake, and projectile oki just doesn’t feel as good in street fighter because it is a much more controlled game. Still, if you are looking for that fast oki character in street fighter Kimberly is the best.

[@jhinpotion9230]

@@themaestro9683 Cammy certainly has the rush and mix, but she doesn't focus as much on an oki tool, as far as I'm aware.

[@TheMuffinMasher]

Dude you have taught me so much. I wouldn't be enjoying sf6 as much as I am without your tips. Even now I just learned how instant tatsu works because of this video. There are a million videos about how to get good at fighting games but rarely do they talk about super specific stuff like that.

[@ladyinwight]

super specific stuff is what brings the most enjoyment to me when learning cause its something that you can just instantly be like i am better at the game now i know how to do this

[@mrosskne]

That's because these videos simulate having friends to teach you how the game works, which is how you're actually supposed to learn fighting games

Tiger Knee the ex Izuna and launch the level 2 into the ground bounce. Another usable ground bounce into her level 2 is the command throw from run. Opponents might ragequit, though. Kimmy is a salt-factory.

[@BloodTideGaming]

Luke is probably going to be up there. Having to learn the timing for "Perfect"s on the fly... Its needed for a fair share.

[@Gaby4440]

I would’ve never been able to do Intermediate 7 with Kimberly without the Tiger Knee explanation. Thanks man. Can you please make an updated SF6 video on mechanics that aren’t explained but used in SF combo trials? Thanks in advance!

[@Vulpentine]

at 20:21 you talk about the crouch medium kick vs crouch medium punch. In this game, crouch medium kicks scale to 80% on next hit rather than 90%. It's a very specific thing for cr. mk and doesn't apply to lk or lp or mp etc.

JM I love your content bro. But my only complaint about the combo trials is that you don’t upload all of them. (Or I missed them in other videos that aren’t combo trial vids.) I don’t see the Lily, or the JP combo trials on your page. You also didn’t upload about 3-5 characters combo trials from SF4 when you went back and redid them recently.

[@IfYouWantBlood1]

I was doing Dee Jays trials and now I feel better about sucking at them 😅

[@MrJstream]

9:24 me when jmcrofts uploads

[@Fier07112]

6:38 that is how I feel about a lot of the combos in trials. In theory a lot of em make sense, but I’m not doing the exact versions of em. Like some of Chun Li’s combos that start with or have LP in them. Starting with LP is good for hit confirming but I tend to use LP to bait buttons (or for simple combos). Combos that start with LP DR LP I find it better (and more damage) to sub out with MP or B MP. Footsies baiting with a LP, walk back, crouching MK/ MP punish. Idk but my brain computes that better.

[@c.conga11]

I'm a musician and a dancer and Deejay's just-frame supers feel impossible to me because it's not a consistent tempo throughout. If you have rhythm it's HARDER!!!

[@asdfghjkl2261]

Wait it's just frame?! I've had the most luck by just timing each subsequent hit as soon as the previous one connects. It's really not very rhythmic, it's just a basic timing puzzle (inb4 but that's what rhythm is!!!).

[@arpadszabo661]

Also for people who struggle with combo trials and after they do it, they don’t understand why they can’t do any of it. Memorize the combos by breaking it up to parts and when you do the full combo, don’t even look at the recipe. Sure you get a few titles out of combo trials but other than that its wasted time if you come out from trial mode and don’t remember a single one other than the beginners.

I'm getting hard walled by the stupidest thing on Blanka Advanced 2. I can do every part of the combo individually. 5HP -> Up ball -> Roll down -> Drive Rush -> 5HP -> Coward Crouch -> P follow up -> JMP -> Air rolling... easy. No problem. Now if I could keep the muscle memory to do all of that after 4-5 failed attempts at 5HP -> Super 2 that'd be great. I swear I only get that cancel 20% of the time, I just can't do a clean double quarter circle motion fast enough, if I try to go faster I skip the 1 gate at least once and get electricity instead of super 2.

I had the complete opposite experience on JP vs Blanka. Those install combos took me so long to do. The intermediate was like 15min and the expert one took me a good half hour. Contrast that with JP who took me maybe 10-15 minutes total to go through the entire trial set. I thought you'd have JP way lower tbh and for me personally Blanka is an 8 on those two install trials alone.
