[@imperium305]

It's a good video, though I feel like you wanted to make a video on how having multiple versions of the same option creates a unique system and on commitment as a whole but instead you settled for overexplaining jumps. You did a good job explaining it though and the quality of your videos increases with each upload. Also I think finding footage of high level gameplay for your examples every now and then would work, though I do like that you show your own matches to further demonstrate that this type of thinking or use of mechanics is not reserved for the top 1%. Though I can see how there could be some issue with including footage that doesn't belong to you even if credited. Keep up the good work man, you're helping people get into these games.

[@stehake2955]

[@filipeg.f.3136]

" over the rainbow 🌈 shit " LOL. For KOF I see it this way putting aside neutral jumps there's 2 jump options ( Normal jump and Hop ) and each one has a second variation ( Hyper Jump and Hyper Hop ), hops and hyper hops are your friends to deal with zoning and add pressure.

[@skivvac]

22:36 Tager is my favourite grappler in fighting games because of the way he counteracts his extremely limited movement, in a game where movement is as free form as ever, with many character able to whiff punish you into a full combo from full screen. His movement is pathetic, but the way he attempts to make up for that is with his special gimmick: magnetism. When you get hit by one of Tager's drive moves, you become magnetised for a set period of time. This will cause certain attacks of Tager's to pull you in towards him. These attacks being all his drive moves AAAAAAAND... his command grabs :))))) Block a full screen projectile? You better be careful with your run in or you might just be sucked straight into his invuln command grab. You're magnetised and have the gawl to jump? Well he can jump too, and guess what, he has a command grab in the air that he can suck you right into. This magnetism also allows him to do some extremely unique and crazy resets (check out MoustachedVillain if you want to see the best Tager has to offer). It's such a unique and interesting take on a grappler, and I absolutely love it. (I wish he were better, but tier list discussion is another thing and grapplers always suck anyway lol)

[@HasekuraIsuna]

Tager has air dash though in JC... Jokes aside, I also find Tager's design to be really interesting and wish he was more viable. After playing GG for the first time recently, I really think he needs either a move similar to Slide Head or maybe a C version of Sledgehammer that actually blocks other things than just projectiles.

[@skivvac]

@@HasekuraIsuna well he already has B sledge, which has armour against all moves. However, it's caveat is that he can still be hit low, like many other armoured moves. Tager's biggest issues are his poor movement, neutral, and defensive options. Against most of the cast, it can be extremely difficult for him to get his gameplan going, and it's very easy to steamroll Tager into the corner and kill him without ever giving him a chance to retaliate. However, in true grappler fashion, once he gets a hit in, the tables can turn very quickly. Sadly, his tools to squeeze that hit out aren't very difficult to shut down, making him a pretty all around terrible character.

[@HasekuraIsuna]

@@skivvac Oh, you're right, B sledge actually takes High and Mids nowadays. As I remember it it was only projectiles it blocked. My bad. I think a move like Slide Head, that knocks opponent down if they are on the ground allowing for a single safe super jump to close the distance, would be a way to increase his way of getting closer, without giving him more movement per se. Seeing as both defensive system mechanics in Burst and CA puts him in a bad spot compared to rest of the cast, giving him something like that would hurt I think.

[@skivvac]

@@HasekuraIsuna I'm not sure if Pot's moves would exactly patch the holes in Tager's character. For one, the move you just suggested wouldn't function very well in a BlazBlue context. Not only is the arena wider, making it impossible to close the gap with one super jump forward from full screen, but BlazBlue favours being airborne a lot more than Gear does due to barrier being very low cost and allowing you to block everything in the air. For many of Tager's absolute pain matchups, such as Amane or Izanami, I doubt this would help very much if at all. If I could give Tager one thing to make him better, I'd start with a better dedicated anti air. At present, his anti air options are pretty pathetic. He has 2C, which is an EXTREMELY slow anti air, even for a 2C, and has its head invuln kick in extremely late, making it very difficult to reliably reaction anti air people, and often just downright impossible. His other grounded anti air options are 2A and atomic collider. 2A is his best option against an IADing opponent or the like, and it actually functions all right, but isn't very much help against opponents coming in from directly above or at an angle, as the hitbox is quite small and it lacks any head invuln. Also, the reward you get off of it is pretty measly. As for atomic collider, this is more of a read/space control anti air, and is essentially useless without magnetism, making it less of a dedicated anti air and more of a gimmick. Outside of all this, basically all he's got is air to airs, with his j.A, j.B, or air command grab, but this lacks any invuln and is again pretty much useless without magnetism. Making Tager's 2C faster, or at least have faster head invuln, would go a long way to making him better. Jumping in on Tager is a difficult thing for him to deal with, and giving him better options to defend against this would go a long way I think.

[@HasekuraIsuna]

@@skivvac You seem much more knowledgeble than me, so you are probably right! Now that you say it, players seem to get a lot of "free" jump-ins on Tager, which should be punishable, but doesn't seem to be. I guess the devs reasoned that instead of making 2C have proper invulnerability or speed, the fact that you can combo of it even if you trade with a air normal should make up for it...

[@Jdietz43]

Good vid! I'll always remember this one moment I had when I was starting to get into Xrd, where I joined a casual learning lobby stream from a player who primarily played SF. His major comment after playing me for awhile was that I really needed to work on anti-airing. This was totally true in a vacuum, as I had bad anti-air reactions, but his comment about it was something along the lines of "As soon as you see me jump you should be hitting that anti-air". And as someone coming over from Blazblue it just left me very confused. "Every time? Don't I have to confirm you're actually coming in first? How can he be so confident?" I largely disregarded that little bit and just worked on general reaction time and comfort with my moves etc. It wasn't until early this year when giving GBVS a try that I finally got the full understanding of why he would say that as a gut reaction. It was the first time I had played a 2D fighter without double jumps or air-blocking, and suddenly his SF based response of "If you aren't anti-airing immediately that's just a reaction problem" came full circle and made a ton of sense, because that old comment was now dead on.

You are very quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers with these focused breakdowns. The quality and depth of your videos are fantastic and your pacing is great. There's always something going on whether it's snappy little quips, visual jokes or just clever ways to present the information. Keep up the great work

6:40 Wait, I got diagnosed for that

I can't stop rewatching this video, it's just so well put together. I don't even play fighting games but this channel makes me want to, which is impressive.

My favorite jumping mechanic is in Outer Wilds. It's a tiny little thing that doesn't matter too much because you're mostly using your jetpack (which is another thing, the full "your player is a physics object, 6DOF movement" thing adds a lot of nuance), but when you jump, you _hold_ the jump button to _bend your legs_ , then jump when you _release_ the jump button. This mirrors how you actually jump IRL and is a nice way to allow fine control over jump height (or really, in this case, jump impulse because physics object) while maintaining the physics aspect by not applying magic forces on you depending on how long you hold the button in the air after jumping like other games do.

Thanks dad

I think KOF ‘98 on FightCade is less rage inducing. Most normals have better hitboxes, which some characters can play footsies and fireball game compared to KOF 2002 UM. Which is more about movement. Combos are short and simple but still require good hit confirms but easier than KOF2002UM in terms of execution on lights. Ryo is probably someone you like and you just hit B and cr. C anti air, and go for his proximity unblockable combos. His EX version plays like Ryu from SF2, except you still poke with B and anti air things with cr. C. KOF2002UM is a game for a more hardcore KOF audience, who want more from KOF ‘98.

i would say that you forgot about Answer and the way his scrolls define his air game, but honestly i think even arcsys forgot about him

[@malikoniousjoe]

He didn’t really forget, quite a few GG characters have weird air game. Millia has double actions in air, Zato flies, Potemkin becomes an ICBM, Answer sets teleportations points, Faust flies (swims?). He just was using a few instances to demonstrate an overall concept.

[@seokkyunhong8812]

Bang shishigami had it first. Arc just imported his mechanic into GG in the form of Answer

[@GameOSaurusChaosC]

@@seokkyunhong8812 bang walked so answer could run

>King of Fights makes me very angry. Rivals is the only good platform fighter btw. Funny for me, Rivals makes me very angry. And Melee is the only fighter that continuously excites me. I should keep giving 3rd strike a go when arcade opens up next year tho. :)

[@thebaku818]

meanwhile me trying to play aerial fighters: have you considered UPSIDE DOWN JUMP?

[@DudeInYourComment]

I saw a lot of your videos and wanted to ask your opinion on supers. Like do you prefer supers with a dynamic camera like Tekken 7/ Soul caliber 6 or do prefer supers which do not interfere with gameplay that much like Guilty Gear Xrd or Blazblue CF?

[@Lone_Rocket]

I'll be back. Gotta make some popcorn.

[@kingninja1781]

Bruh same I was eating popcorn for the whole vid

[@AnthanKrufix]

Funnily enough one of the reasons I like Soul Calibur is because of it's complete lack of jumping outside of dedicated attacks. I find sidestepping to be more enjoyable use of space than jumping..

[@wfallninja]

I'm so thankful for all of your videos that help explain why fighting games are so fun. Like, I've still yet to get my friends willing to play themselves, but they've watched some of your vids with me and at least *get it* now and can appreciate why people like them.

[@armlesskirby]

Damn no one ever talks about arcana heart and its unique homing dash system when they're talking about air movement across fighting games
