So You Want to Learn Luke... | Road to Master

[@dontdomewrong1932]

If you told the past me that Luke was gonna be one of the coolest characters in SF6 I would not believe you.

[@LeadAntagonist]

bruh was one of the coolest in 5, and I'll die on that. Ppl just hated him cause he was so busted he was everywhere. Them combos were hype til you realize it ruined competitive play that he was two touching you like it's season 1

[@master2497]

I love his playstyle and personality, happy to play him :)

[@georgesmith5201]

I did placements as Luke and got Iron 💀then I went on a HUGE winning streak and made it just below platinum in like an hour and a half, but now I'm here because I'm losing as much as I'm winning 😂Just using footsies and whiff punishing isn't cutting it anymore because the platinum players actually know combos to edge me in the damage department.

[@ismaeljrp1]

Wth, lol Iron to high gold in 1.5 hours. Sheesh. I placed in Bronze 1 and about 3 weeks later after 255 ranked matches I’m Silver 4 lol Were you a total noob at SF as well?

[@kfcmanager3199]

Luv u nephew❤

[@planexshifter]

Again, I ask for Lily next! Thanks Nephew These are fun.

[@fullarmourtracksuit4023]

Great video. My placement with Luke put me in Bronze and I’ve only just worked up to 5 star. This has given me some good ideas to develop my game.

[@ekonomixx]

Please do “So you want to learn blanka” next!! Such a unique character I fell in love with his play style so fast.

Come here after finally finishing adv combo trial 2 just to see his best corner combo is my arch nemesis

[@josephmccarty9090]

I’m new to SF6 and cancelling is still something I have a hard time executing, you should do a training tutorial to show the features of the mode and what they mean (like what the action timing window is and how to use it) I know I would find that super helpful!

[@circle_it]

Anything beyond some basic canceling, such as a crouching medium kick into a special or a jab into super, will be character specific. It takes time to learn all that. Search for videos on the character you want to main for more examples. But imo learning the basics of fighting games, this ones mechanics, your toons archetype, your normals, and some bread and butter combos are where it’s best to start. You’ll get into cancels naturally as you keep playing.

[@josephmccarty9090]

@@circle_it I agree, learning basic BNB is helpful, but some of those require cancels and again, the Training Mode has tools that can help people understand more! I just want someone to visually explain what is means when the character is red/blue when the cancel timing tool is on in training mode. I just want a Demonstration do the tools that SF6 has to help people learn!

[@circle_it]

@@josephmccarty9090 blue is “positive advantage” and red is “negative advantage.” If its a blue 3F it means the enemy has 3 frames where they cant do anything and you can. I believe most jabs are 3 frames which means you can jab after whatever you were just doing and if the enemy pushed a button they will get hit. If you have a red 3F it means YOU have 3 frames where you’re not allowed to do anything including block, which means if the enemy hits a fast enough button you’ll be hit. If you’re talking about the boxes around your characters as you press buttons those are hit boxes and hurt boxes. The red ones are “active” hit boxes. If the red box around your fist touches the enemies hurt box (the blue/green box around them) that means the attack connects. Your bread and butters that require cancels will be easy to do. You might not even know you’re canceling honestly. I didnt when I first started playing fighting games. Have you picked a character you want to learn the game with? I can try pointing you towards someone who can give you more info. Nephew is fantastic but his unranked to masters videos assume you have some idea of how to play fighting games which isn’t what you’re looking for I think?

[@josephmccarty9090]

@@circle_it that’s not correct sadly. With cancel timing, when the character turns Red it shows that the current move is cancellable into a Special Move but if the character turns blue, it shows that the current move can be cancelled into a Super or specific special move. This is why I wanted the guy who’s really good to explain this but thanks for trying!

[@circle_it]

@@josephmccarty9090 We’re not talking about the same thing. You’re talking about what the colors mean within the frame data meter. Why not make the video yourself explaining it?

[@colbykennedy6613]

Love the video but can you move the camera to the bottom middle in the future it just looks more clean (I wanna see the ranks when they are in the right side) but great video!! Can’t wait for episode 2

This is the first time I've ever heard of or seen Nephew play. He had some great matches, and did really well to get 2nd place. It's too bad the commentators didn't have much to say about him.

[@tanzolo4487]

Did you get there?

[@RobertPerez862]

@tanzolo4487 Nah. Highest I got what Gold 5. I stopped playing in a while. My struggle was noob mistakes. Occasionally, I'll jump when not necessary, sometimes I would manage my energy poorly and I struggled against Ken players. That was a while ago. I stopped playing after about 5-6 months. I've been playing warframe mostly. I'm thinking of playing SF6 again. See if I can actually get to the next tier.

[@tanzolo4487]

@@RobertPerez862 I picked the game up last week. I’m currently gold platinum 1 star/gold 5 star. Constantly bouncing between the 2. Platinum is a real scrub barrier really. I feel you. Most of the time I struggle with Cross ups. Like I know they are going to cross up but I just cant get the DP. It’s mostly player that just mash buttons like crazy I struggle against. When they play footsirs, I’m alright. I’m commited, I just love fighting games myself.

[@RobertPerez862]

@@tanzolo4487 ye. It's just bad habits that I picked up that really make me throw. That's good you getting in platinum. Hopefully you'll be able to find a good technique to deal with the button smashers.

[@howdydoodydoo3631]

I’m an NRS player that has really taken to this game. Never quite played a game like this. Question for you - I’ve been playing Ken and Luke. Which character is harder in total execution wise? I imagine ken because of the run cancels? I really like both characters. The execution in this game is just so different in this game than MKX/MK11 and I’m trying to err on the side of easier execution. They both seem really strong, but I donno, I’m like 4 total days into playing a SF game. Great vid

[@Shadowlet]

Luke is easier. Cr. HP is his Hold/Perfect QCB punch non-counter hit confirm Hit cr. LP? Do up to three more before tap qcb LP or EX version. Or you can drive Rush and do the same combo further down . Hit MP? Tap qcb L/M/H or EX version Hit cr. HP, go into a QCB combo Hit st. LK cr. MP or cr. MK? Drive Rush into cr. MP, cr. HP, QCB combo Hit a target combo? Do a EX QCB combo It's so easy

@isaiahfaux5674 they nerf damage on modern to compensate for how much quicker inputs are compared to classic, in the end it seems like it still kinda balances out. With modern I also think if you still do motion inputs the damage isn't reduced
