Well after a couple months I’m diamond in large to this guide. The real time explanation/breakdown and situation recognition is 10x more helpful than watching someone in training mode. Awaiting diamond to masters! Thank you!

[@SavageMarisa]

@@sethwilson1754 well done dude keep pushing. If I find a spare evening I'll record diamond to master.

[@x_casualt_x]

I started watching the series last week. I’ve been stuck at Plat 1 for two weeks. I work two full time jobs so I only can play on the weekends (for a total of 8-10 hours) so grinding up in ranks is rough. Your first 3 vids have been awesome and really helped me with having a solid foundation and game plan! I’ve managed to get to Plat 2 this past weekend! I’m having soooo much more fun now that I have the basics down!! Looking forward to this video and will report back when I eventually get to Diamond!!! Thanks so much for the work you put into this content. You have been a Godsend!

[@SavageMarisa]

Nicely done sick progress shout when you hit diamond!

[@x_casualt_x]

Definitely will 🫡 Hoping to hit play 3 this weekend! With respect to lily….I thought it was just that I sucked so bad…every time I play her its soooo frustrating!!! It make sense that it’s just one of Marisa bad matchups!! 😮‍💨 still gotta learn to deal with her, and when I get in, make sure I stay in. Hehehehehe thanks man!!

[@danielcastaneda802]

I just got to diamond 1 today thanks to your videos! I was hard stuck at gold 5 before them. Would love to see a guide to master! Thanks again for these!

[@oopalonga]

what did you do differently to get to diamond?

[@danielcastaneda802]

@@oopalonga Better oki was mainly it. Continuing that pressure. That and better reactions.

[@jpbhello]

This is an amazing series, and I REALLY appreciate the casual but thorough nature of the videos. This took me from stuck in bronze with other characters to platinum with Marisa. You've sparked a love of fighting games for me, and I'm sure for many others as well. Without these videos, I wouldn't even be playing SF6 anymore. Sincerely - thank you. Please keep making videos (and a patreon if you don't have one)

[@SavageMarisa]

I'm a washed up dad gamer nowadays so don't have time to do much content sadly. Glad it helped and well done for making plat!

[@ChadCorrin1985]

Amazing guide! Hope your able to find time for the next one in the series. This is the best Marisa content online hands down!

[@Hoodoojuju82]

These have been incredible, finally moving through Platinum thanks in large part to you.

[@SavageMarisa]

Nice dude. Join the discord aswell if you have not already for more help from everyone there.

Thanks man, been stuck at the first star of Platinum.

[@MichaeI2]

This is my first fighting game and I made diamond today because of this video. Thank you very much incredible content and you explain the mechanics very well.

[@allday6772]

Congrats! I'm just starting sf6 and these vids are great

[@Flashlegz]

Looking forward to the master guide, this has been a great help

[@graelmiller8281]

Loving these guides, by far the best instructional sf6 content I have found as a new player. Narrowing down the early options really helped. I also really appreciate that you call out specific options that are difficult to execute but worth drilling into muscle memory (eg. drive rush oki, back-heavy punch into superman etc...) it can be hard as a new player to know what is worth spending the time to practice, especially when you have limited free time. In terms of production my only feedback is that your audio (game and voice) is very quiet compared to others so I end up having to turn up the volume, not a major issue but felt like sharing since you asked for feedback :) Looking forward to your next videos.

[@marcosalas6506]

Love your guides bro been waiting for this one for a while glad it’s finally here can’t wait for the next one

[@SavageMarisa]

Cheers appreciate it. I'll do a diamond to masters when I can squeeze in some gaming time.

[@ERACAR9]

hit diamond today! great series thank you, looking forward to any future stuff you find time to put out

[@Phe0nix1986]

My word! Over 3 hours! What a commitment. Great video though. Thank you!!!

[@dryu42069]

First fighting game and just hit diamond thanks to your guide! Can't wait for the master guide. Thanks for making these vids!

[@SavageMarisa]

Well done dude. Join the discord if you have not already i'm super busy and struggling for time to get a diamond - masters done but plenty of people on the discord can help you progress.

[@TSPIN]

Nice Guide, I think the only thing that could have been added is the initial f.mP punish counter combo. it does link with st.lk into dima. This is useful because certain moves that can be whiff punish will leave you at a range where st.lp will whiff and st.lk won't. But that's just some details, great work overall

[@augustogabs]

This video is amazing. Im brazillian and got my diamond becouse of you, great work!!

[@SavageMarisa]

You got yourself to Diamond dude well done keep it up.

[@viniciosantos]

I wish you’d make diamond to master, this series has helped me so much with my gameplay

[@FGC_stib]

Man I have loved this series and I think it's really helped me improve. I really hope you're going to do the diamond to master series that you hinted toward at the start of this video. I want to hear about that f+HK DR tech you mentioned.

[@39gkastor]

Thanks. This guide is crazy helpful. Can u do guides like this for more characters? Much appreciated.

[@klooj1174]

This guide was really useful thx

[@alexandcoffee]

Good stuff! Would you ever do replay reviews?

[@prawnyb]

Looking forward to diamond to master please dude....

[@prawnyb]

Super useful mate 👍 👌

[@sbozart01]

Great guides, thank you!

[@tkZombie_]

is 360p the only version or am i missing somehting? EDIT: all good now. thank you so much for this video and this series! great knowledge and a lot of content to learn from

[@SavageMarisa]

KZbins is delayed processing the HD video should not be much longer for it to be up.

[@yusekx]

thank u so much dude

[@RETROXGAMERS]

Great job bro

[@bluestspirit]

Thanks for the guide! Could you explain why your charged back heavy punch knocks Ryu away after the counter DI at 42:34? I've noticed that happens to me a lot and it's frustrating because I'm missing out on big punishes. I figure it has something to do with timing but I'm not sure.

[@SavageMarisa]

When you crumple someone with drive impact the crumple state lasts for 21 frames. After this point they go into an airborne state and any normal hitting them will send them flying. Charged back heavy punch takes 20 frames to fully charge and land. Fortunately the game holds your input so if you press and hold back heavy punch after the "zoom" of the drive impact ends the game will store that input and give you a back heavy on the first possible frame. I just messed it up there was a bit delayed.

[@bluestspirit]

@@SavageMarisa Perfectly explained, that was exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!

[@Vanderfate]

I wanna like this video 5 times but I couldnt....feelsbadman

[@mihaitt17]

Im currently peaking mid plat 5. Im having big trouble with people playing very defensively, not really throwing out many buttons, and I feel like I get outranged pretty bad and whiff punished. Idk why its so hard for me to play neutral w her, whiff punishing them, poking etc, she s just so slow
