Luke Neutral Guide - Street Fighter 6

[@jeako777]

Correction (2:23): DR cr LP is even better than DR cr MP if it's in range. You can also do a H charged knuckle after Drive Rush to punish counter a lot of medium or heavy normals. Correction (3:32): st MK is also amazing for winning the drive gauge war. You can put a lot of pressure on them if they're about be in burnout.

My man took my Luke from gold 5 to Plat 4 already. 🙏

[@jeako777]

Niceee, congrats!

[@H00kieD00kie]

Seriously you're video have been super helpful! I appreciate it. I didn't even know that his target combo punches into sand blast was a thing before you made how to deal with it video haha

[@t.7527]

And my Luke is ready to knock yours back down to Gold. Try me.

[@ChuckShadow86]

[@silverwah]

Dude you're a life saver. I main him and you really opened my eyes on how to improve with him. Thank you so much.

[@jeako777]

[@Yozora_Jan]

Dude. Thank you so much. I've been struggling with neutral so hard recently. this helps a lot

[@MDTeach24]

Your channel is insane im so glad i found it

[@solidawesomeness]

I just got into Diamond and your guides have been extremely helpful ❤

[@corporalcd1701]

I was baffled with how many videos you threw out for all the things I’m looking for. Subbed and liked

[@checkboy8]

Video is goated! This makes me wanna use st.medium punch more now realizing that you can react and cancel into lvl 1 off of DI

[@cadencepika]

Love all the Luke content

[@BLAKGRIP]

Thanks for making this been struggling on Diamond 2 and its mostly the neutral game.

[@donarj]

Just came across your channel, really enjoying your short form luke vids, good stuff.

[@lasereye900]

This is what I needed! Thank you sooo much!

[@dataecto6135]

Your guides are straight to the point and well edited! You got me busting out the notepad and taking notes for real

[@jeako777]

Thank you! Taking notes is amazing. It‘s hard to memorize everything on your own.

[@illmf]

[@rexpro02]

I love your guides thank you very much for your hard work!!

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Godlike guide thanks

[@TestSubject173]

2mp seems to be pretty good at setting up spacing traps, due to it having long push back and being plus on block, which allows him to walk backward and your opponent whiffing some of the longest reach attacks.

[@computervision557]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[@MrSoberSoldier]

Thanks the tips!

[@JROGvids]

Thanks friend!

[@sealinfate]

Talk about footwork 💕

What's the name of the song during the "Pokes" section? Amazing guide as always!

[@jeako777]

Thank you! Song is "Nihilistic Moment - Carlos Miyamoto's Theme". I hate how one of the best songs is locked behind the world tour mode lmao

3:44, I know this vid is a bit old, but 5HP is actually best done into light sandblast. That's because, the better plays will parry the 2nd hit, perfect parry the 2nd hit into DR, I've even seen people DP or lvl3 through these. 5HP is actually a great neutral button, it's Luke's farthest reaching normal (sans 6HP, move is awful in neutral), only 1f slower than 5MP but has pushbox on frame 2 which means if you are in range you can't walk this back, I commented on your other vid 5MP you have to be careful with it appears on like frame 6 or something. Also, 2MP buffer DR 4HK, probably a broken string cannot be understated. This thing will hit extended hurtboxes on CH, whiff punish, and be super hard to whiff punish. It's honestly, one of the few things in Luke's toolkit that is quite busted (mostly due to how safe it is and it nets 3000+ damage)

[@jeako777]

Yeah I switched to almost only doing L Sandblast recently because people are starting to perfect parry my M/H Sandblast. Technically they have to guess between M and H and adjust their timing because of the different startups, but I just play it safe with the L version. Although I can‘t stop doing H sandblast in the corner tho lmao. 2MP is so stupid man lmao. Sometimes it‘s the only move you need to use, it‘s ridiculous.

[@saado99]

@@jeako777 yea personally, I would never even use 5HP HP sandblast anymore, it's good at low level, even the average master will parry it, you want to keep their drive gauge going down. At sort of mid range, you can get away with 5HP MP sandblast because LP sandblast can be unsafe when done too close, but yea. 5HP LP sandblast is very important for the character I would say. Again, 5MP is better when you actually 'expect' it to hit... 5HP is more stable because it does guaranteed 1400 on hit, on block it's safe and takes away a ton of drive meter. Also the pushbox thing I mentioned. I'll make a vid to demonstrate what I mean, I've known about this for months and why I do use 5MP but am careful with the move. Yea 2MP is busted for sure. I guess it's to make up for his lack of reach on some of his normals vs other characters. My gripe is how safe it is to just buffer it into DR, it's really dumb.

[@jeako777]

@@saado99 yeah you‘re right, I should probably stop canceling into H sandblast for good. Players here in 1700 MR aren‘t quite good at dealing with it yet but I don‘t wanna rely on this long term. And yeah there‘s a nice sweetspot range where M sandblast is a true blockstring but also safe on block. Usually around the range where L sandblast is unsafe. I wasn‘t aware that 5MP’s pushbox kicked in so late but now it makes sense when I think about it. It tends to whiff more than you‘d think when you try to space it.

[@saado99]

@@jeako777 I feel you, I just got to 1900MR from a grind. I've seen people do lvl3 through it, Ken OD shoryu through the gap, and pretty much always parrying after, sometimes literally perfect parry into a sweep. 5HP is best at max range for sure, I would try to get a feel of that moves range. I hardly even see Japanese Lukes use 5MP, they use 5HP more. And yea, if you have the hitbox info take a look at it. Put the game at 50% speed and look for the greybox on his normals. You'll notice it appears super late for 5MP. It's very important to remember because walking backwards is constantly done in neutral. In addition it also has in general slightly shorter range than 5HP. Not saying don't use it, definitely use it for sure but just be aware of these nuances. It's best used again when you actually expect it to hit, meaning they walkup to it or you expect it to counterhit. Otherwise yea it can whiff easily and you'll notice that in general in gameplay, which is why I'm very careful with that normal.

[@imjust_a]

Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere, but as of Season 2, Luke's level 1 can be really bad as an anti-projectile (depending on the range and reaction time). They extended the hurtbox on it, and in my experience 9 times out of 10 the enemy's projectile hits me before the super goes off, wasting my level 1.

[@salemrashed1]

A how to video for wake up and framing frames learning

[@revenantsubzero4346]

I cannot do dp from crouch when I react on jumps luke does sandblast and I get blasted

[@jeako777]

Practice inputting down-forward, down, down-forward + punch. That's a shortcut

[@salemrashed1]

Could you please post a how to when wake up

[@Arlequimcleiton]

Hi Jeako, dude you need play POCKET BRAVERY. This game is insane, please play Pocket Bravery.
