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

Another first video in our road to master series, we have our new muscle mommy, Marisa! She's one of the most annoying characters to play against, so let's see what she's all about. The first video of each series will include a short guide/tutorial at the beginning. It won't be complete with optimal combos, but should be enough to get you and me started in ranked matches. Then, we'll see how we do in our placement matches and try to place as high as we can in ranked!
Street Fighter 6, the next game in the iconic series, will release in 2023! Take part in the Fighting Ground, which focuses on the classic fighting game experience with modes from previous games in the series. Two new modes will be available alongside: World Tour, an immersive single-player story experience, and Battle Hub, which will further expand the scope of player communication and engagement. Your Moment. Your Fight.

Such a godlike series. The quick crash courses in the beginning are underrated as guides as well; been my go to for learning characters.

[@TalkSickDaddy]

The simplicity of the explanations as well as the demonstrations while he's explaining as so good. Not overwhelmed with min maxing meter/damage ratio.

[@Choigeneralara]

@@TalkSickDaddy you want good marisa combos just watch a pro player that’s number one in the world with her , trust me i got half life combos from him

[@DairymxMuido]

Quick tip from a Marisa main: After you drive impact someone in the corner, you can do her quarter circle back punch special and it'll lead to a combo similar to what he showed at @5:38.

[@HyroTsugi]

I was wondering about that but I’m definitely going to lab this when I get off work

[@Axxxel_in_Harlem]

​@@HyroTsugiWhat's your work like?

[@eliasllpllj]

@@Axxxel_in_Harlemwtf kinda question is this in a yt comment section ☠️

[@Axxxel_in_Harlem]

@@eliasllpllj He mentioned his work, so I asked him what it's like. It's not like I went off topic or something.

[@EDarien]

Yeah, it's basically the exact same thing, you just have to start w/ the QCB+HP instead of hitting the back+HP first. You treat the DI hit like your back+HP hit and then proceed as normal.

[@mumenRider-123]

Hi Nephew, wanted to say I appreciate this road to master series. New to street fighter ( just picked it up on 6) and your videos have been a great reference! Keep it up!

[@Tinytraveler]

So this was random, I just picked Marisa as my main, got SF6 for Christmas, I liked this video and it cranked over from 1.9 to 2k thumbs up, never happened to me before, thought it was fun. Thanks for this video, been really excited to learn Marisa!

[@SBCurley]

Want to add that K7 Showoff has an amazing marisa guide, about 25 minutes. Really helped me learn her pressure game and oki options and stuff

[@Beecels]

the overview you do of the characters in this series is really great. I've been referencing whenever I wanna try someone new because you put some very simple things in to get started

[@Realmasterorder]

Amazing series ! no one can have such amazing Variety and be a Real Master with soooo many Characters !

[@luffysliding231]

Her Scutum move(stance), is actually an anti-air. It works on cross-ups too

[@SaltySanctuary]

This was a vital piece of info that I was missing. I feel like I have been really weak to cross ups; definitely going to practice this!

[@cmattss4]

Just got my Hori Alpha today and I’m having so much fun with this game. First time playing street fighter and these videos are super helpful!

[@rkvonack701]

I wanted to try someone completely new for sf6 and picked Marisa and this is the best video to help me learn her I've found

[@WambwneD]

just a note, if you can react to a drive impact, counter it with your stance into charged HP, into back HP into combo, for way, way better damage scaling than if you would counter with your own drive impact and go charge back HP and HP . Up to 6686 damage. Also if you get a blocked drive impact in the corner, you can go back HP, EX Superman, into charged crouching HP, into driverush back HP, into whatever floats your boat super wise.

[@caseyavila8779]

Bro thank you so much, stumbled upon this vid while looking for a Marisa guide. SF6 is my first fighting game and I managed to get to gold because of this vid and the combos you showed!! Thank you

[@Masn7o2]

As someone coming from Mk controller to SF6 fightstick , these videos are godsends!!

[@Dinendal01]

It's interesting watching people that have way more experience than me play Marissa, learned a lot from this video

[@EDarien]

I also main Marisa (was debating Honda or JP too) and I got placed in Silver ... something. And I worked my way up with like a 13 win streak to Gold 4*. I was thinking maybe I could hit Diamond in this game, but if big Neph is placement matched there ... maybe I have more to learn before I get to that spot. Great video. Thanks for the tips!

[@egt4812]

hows the grind going

[@Torbero47]

A lot of missed opportunity for guard stance but great tips in the beginning. I'm one of the muscle mommy brigade. 😎

[@unlawfulfalafel7634]

the EX scutum gives armor on low attacks as well, non-EX scutum only blocks her upper body. Edit: It's in her character guide in the game, can't find info on it online

[@rickycam379]

Been loving these videos and excited for the series! Keep going! Hopefully Ryu will come soon

[@SamuelBDoran]

Learned a lot from this, thanks! ❤👊

[@CallMeSwiper]

I’m trying my hardest to get into street fighter this is officially the first game i was confident enough in that it would help beginners out. But the concepts are just hard to me i guess… I even struggle just walking forward and backwards trying to keep a flow going. You make everything look so smooth. But even if i never get that good the videos of watching you kill it with every character is astonishing. What is your main if you have one based on all these videos I can’t tell you come off as diverse in everyone.

[@steverobertson6393]

Take it from someone who felt the exact same way. Drill the Combo Trials. Again. Again. Again. I'll even have a You Tube video on the labtop and just watch outta the corner of my eye. If you think of it as a musical instrument. You have to practice it. Over and Over and Over. At least with Marisa its fun because you're simply BASHING people. Block. If you can learn to block, then Medium Punch - Medium Punch - QCF Punch (Gladius) Throw in some Over Drives. That's been enough for me to pound some people. You'll get there. Just give yourself at least 4 hours in Training. You have to get a sense of her tempo. She loves ya. Ya gotta lover her back. Spend some time with her. You got this.

[@CallMeSwiper]

@@steverobertson6393 I appreciate the tips man I’ve even been watching guides like this on my break at work 😂, I’m determined to learn these controls and slowly getting better.

[@orbbb24]

@@CallMeSwiper This is really late and maybe you are a God by now, but this is my first time ever putting effort into a fighting game. Usually I just mess around with mid level bots and never touch online. It is humbling! I feel like I'm working my ass off just to be bronze 3. I can't imagine all the work required to continue my climb. We'll get there! Just takes a lot of time a REALLY paying attention to what you are doing. I remember watching youtube videos while playing Rocket League and I played at a high champ level. In SF, no sir! All focus is on the game.

[@RIPLOUDOG]

you’re insanely goated im still implementing what you taught me in the Dee Jay video 😭

[@Wolfianzero]

Punching out a zangief’s charge command grab is so satisfying

[@LycanDreams9159]

Both ex jump punch and ex step kick leave them crumpled in the corner for you to either super after or go for the command grab

[@Ryanplayssf]

Youre doing the good giod with these DarkNeph

[@speedlolita]

Some good tech in this video, thanks. Hopefully allow me to up my game.

[@HyroTsugi]

Marisa is my main and I will be learning from this video a lot

[@HyroTsugi]

I feel like where I be going wrong I don’t be aggressive when I should be

[@alexanderdenison2950]

​@iHyroglificz she thrives off of risk taking and hard reads imo

[@InfinityFantasy]

Let’s go Nephew

[@Eridu]

So far, what is your favorite character, and what is ( in your opinion) the best character?

[@timothypiecesmeoof9882]

Hey Nephew, first off, great stuff. Was wondering when you were going to do Marisa for she is my new favorite character and possibly my main. I couldn't help but realize that when you were covering her anti-airs, you didn't mention her quarter circle back light punch. It's invincible against jump attacks. You can also use the OD version to get a combo afterwards. Was wondering if you left those out for a reason? Anyways, always enjoy the content, and this is a cool series.

[@luckymantis1803]

13:26 holy fuck that damage makes me wanna main marisa😭😭

[@RealToyStoi]

Man sick vid Marisa is an absolute beast, was wondering if you could do Jamie next. I have been trying to learn more matchup stuff with him.

[@bradpitt8593]

THANKS! GOOD VIDEO

[@solomontor5103]

YEAAAAA MARISA TIMEEE

[@freshnuts864]

[@jeffreychen217]

Loved the video, one thing is that maybe the bell tone could be turned down in future vids.

[@thatasianwaiter4559]

I won't lie, as much as i see your playstyle, im more curious how well you will do against Shadowmark lol I am hoping to see you two go against each other xD

[@Doyenn]

I really wish they had sagat or even adon in the game. But i fw marisa.

[@zaubergurke5468]

I really hate the timing for her Back heavy Punch into specials combo, i cant get it down but it seems so essential advise appreciated

[@Aerowind]

It does do good damage, but if it's that hard for you, you can usually use medium target combo in place of charged back HP->back HP, and you can use crouching medium punch in place of it in drive rush juggles. Yeah, it does a bit less damage, but it's a lot easier of an input.

[@tkdarkheart]

For anyone reading this, I’ve been playing fighting games for the better part of 17 years and have always used controller. I want to get an arcade stick for them now, but I’m not sure what to get. Does anyone have any recommendations that aren’t gonna cost me an arm and a leg and still get the job done?

[@teamguapogames]

I just bought the 8bitdo arcade stick myself. So far so good. Gotta get used to the square gate as someone who has played on controller my whole life as well.

[@Aerowind]

If you're good with your hands, the cheapest option is probably going to be buy parts and build one yourself. It's not too hard of a build.

[@tzera_rhuon]

A few of my friends use Mayflash arcade sticks.

[@lostone9700]

I saw you dropping those combos in league. At this rate youll never get promoted to uncle.

[@marstudios7879]

How can you play against JP with Marisa?

[@shadenexus7436]

Mad asf because I had the same win record in placements as you and got into silver 💀had to slog my way to plat

[@meccasingletary4707]

What happened to the second juri video?

[@YBSalvo]

Hello Nephew

[@TheAce1183]

To the editor: Might be worth blurring out parts of the spreadsheet since we can see the progress of characters who havent been shown on video yet.

[@habijjj]

Best thing for guaranteed damage after countering drive impact do her grab out of counter it punish counter for a fuck ton of damage. Also you can fully charge a level 1 into ex superman punch in the corner.

[@fernandovlogs27]

PLZ DO ZANGIEF NEXT!!

[@truenemesisprime550]

Where is so you want to learn Ryu? Please :D

[@OsiRixxx]

noob here, i cant seem to understand how to go from ex bqc into drive rush, it doesn't seem to be cancelable?¡

[@NephewDork]

that one's not a cancel, you just do parry into drive rush after

[@OsiRixxx]

@@NephewDork aah I see thanks man!

[@R4V3NU5]

So what is her best AA? D.HP is pretty slow and stance +PP is inconsistent

[@popnmusicNC]

If they cross up or jump in real close, jump back lp / mp. Other AA are lp dima, OD dima, OD gladius

[@popnmusicNC]

[@Garsenic]

hey nephew, i'm rlly new into fight games, and i have some struggles to do commands like jamie or jp, who you recommend me to play?

[@thesenate1808]

Try Ryu or Luke, both have good fundamentals and will make your awareness in matches better and are relatively beginner friendly. Marisa is always a fun alternative tho

[@ClearAutumnFestival]

When are you doing Ryu?

[@ItsZeBoss]

Never lost a placement match and went on a 27 game win streak from it and still ended up in plat 2 …. Wtf

[@yungxmic6680]

Jamie next

[@jimmycastaneda6950]

Do you use classic or modern controller mode?

[@JakeInTheUK]

Modern marisa is a problem… even on modern a whole combo with a lvl 3 ult can take away slightly more than 50% HP..

[@JAYFORCE113]

Link/yink

[@satcheljones]

very progressive of capcom to give us such an autistic character

[@zacian3798]

Day 2 of asking for blanka

[@darkheat9946]

Is no one gonna talk about how the fraction placements he made makes no sense? 5/5 means he won 100%... 5-5 maybe!

[@Umi_Pumi]

Whats the song used in the gameplay section? I remember the song but cant make out where its from

[@Gankstomper]

It's pretty simple. This character is possibly the easiest in the game.

[@TypicalBlakk]

Cringe

[@Gankstomper]

@@TypicalBlakk "I disagree but I can't make any sort of actual response so I'll just say cringe to make myself feel better"

[@pingouuiin]

Honestly I personally find her pretty hard ! Sure you can armor trough everyhing but with all those charged moves I can't seem to understand at which timing I'm supposed to follow-up, and she has a ton of normals, I never know when to use them ! But yes, she indeed is pretty straight forward, but I find Shotos to be easier

[@DairymxMuido]

Def not easiest. Neutral is kinda difficult/weird at times. No dp to ignore pressure. Anti-airs are iffy. Can't drive rush on many poke buttons like others can. Walks as fast as a snail. Ken, Luke, Juri, and JP are certainly easier imo. There's probably others as well.

[@teamguapogames]

Easy in execution maybe. Easy to play? That's another story. She's completely missing a lot of tools other characters get, she doesn't have an obvious neutral game, she's slow and most of her "combos" have gaps which allow your opponent to mash out or block mid-string. I'd say as usual Ryu and ken are the easiest characters to play.

[@tiredfox77]

How do you do the other versions of lvl 3

[@glaziumtck8593]

When you're low on HP your LVL 3 turns into a Critical Art.
