Solving the Marisa problem ( Matchup Guide )

[@feri7mble]

Your SFV match-up videos were some of the best on your channel, happy to see them for SF6!

[@itDingle]

On the DP reversal, EX gladius has enough hits of armor not to care sometimes, such as on Ryu's ex.dp, and you are minus enough to get a full punish

[@tokyozombe]

Marisa bros, if you suspect they are going to OD reversal during your bloxk string, you can charge an OD gladius and blow it the fuck up. They will lose half their life and 3.5 drive bars.

[@Ayyem93]

God is looking out for me last night and today, I got ABSOLUTELY smoked by a marissa last night then later faced another one and got my first double perfect in sf6, now this video drops

[@Jericho1903]

Mura you are my hero! I just participated in my first offline SF 6 tournament last weekend and got eliminated by a Marisa 😂 next time I'll get the win with the help of this video!

[@filthycasual8093]

I just dont understand why a character can have EZ high damage combo, armor moves and retardedly long reach of normals, yet people still claim her weak

[@dracomundo1498]

Don't forget she's plus on almost all of her armored options too. Idk why she's got good frame data and etc etc

[@pang_xiong_mao]

The number of Marisa's I face dropped sharply on entering platinum. My main gripe with marisa is the ludicrous damage she gets off of one combo with virtually zero execution required.

[@lifeonleo1074]

She is a beginner character. The only character with ease of use as "Easy".

[@pikachuattack542]

Her combos require execution, bro. Everyone does. I can at least play her on hitbox, can't play Gief, 360s suck on hitbox. Also her combos are fun and cool to do, and I enjoy charging her heavies, reminding me of Vaseraga a lot.

[@AllFlashNoDash]

Her combos are literally HP HP QCF P...c'mon man...😂😂😂. Execution is relatively low. The damage is not balanced for the execution. And holding down a button makes her +4.

[@niltonnunes5971]

Wtf , "easy execution" ? Lol go and try play her then bro . Try the charged uppercut rush back+hp and shory od , the timing must be so perfect that o just cut it out from my combo . People like to talk about the character they struggle , like they where easy or somewhat broken , just at launch people yell all the time , "marisa is broken" , this dude broke her in 6 minutes of video , weak defense , bad buttons and the list goes on

[@vildhjarta9944]

​@@niltonnunes5971bad buttons" lmao that have armor lmao. Clearly you haven't played many fighting games

[@Withrix]

If I lose to a rookie 1 modern controls Marisa again I’m going to commit crimes beyond human comprehension

[@dbv7887]

I think its also worth mentioning that her gladius (except OD) armor doesnt work against lows.

[@rikweeds2306]

As a Marissa main i can confirm, Manon is great at exploiting this

[@UbiMore]

Good

[@FurieuxWolf]

Not even low, any attack that have an animation that hit below her hip

[@dominickjadon]

They spam cancel it into command grab tho nowadays that shit irks my soul

[@bartdude82]

Came here specifically for her Scutum counter move and left with way more knowledge than I asked for. Great guide 🙏🏾

[@TheAce1183]

As a Marissa player one thing I'd like to say here is to check her armor moves one in a while with moves that hit low on the body like ryu stand lk. Her armor loses to alot of those moves so if I charge Gladius I lose to it. That makes me want to use the unchanged Gladius but since that's minus 5 as well characters like ryu and Cammy can punish it pretty well.

[@antonsimmons8519]

Marisa players are STILL eating for free because players aren't getting how vulnerable she is to throws while armoring. I don't even play her, yet I laugh every time I see it.

[@mikiemike20042002]

​@@antonsimmons8519 Your strategy might work if the Marisa player does a blockstring into special from point blank. Go into training mode and actually try this. Mashing throw on a well-spaced block string is suicide. You can target combo and charge gladius to easily punish counter your throw for 1/4 life.

[@matthewjackman8410]

@@antonsimmons8519 As mikie already said, enjoy eating 30% because you whiffed grab and ate an OD full charge glad

[@cking509]

PLEASE KEEP DOING THESE, very helpful.

[@jettmanas]

Thanks for the info on when to take a turn & what to do. Also, air options & throws. Great vid.

[@MrJoyShow]

Thank you, I've been really struggling against Marisa, where it seems like using DI on her is always a death sentence. This was really helpful!

[@Khemith_Demon_Hours]

Great guide. Not just specific scenarios and moves, but a general attitude toward fighting her is impressed up on you.

[@Inz0mbiac]

maybe it's not ideal and just something that's been working for me in the silver ranks but scotum can be an anti-air option. It's not very damaging but if you jump in kick me and I throw my arms up, I will give you an auto tap and knock you down. If you jump in and see Marisa throw up her hands waiting, just land and go for the throw and get that punish damage because it will be a race between your throw and her command grab

[@maxoutthemayhem]

Thank you for always looking out for us!

[@divertiti]

Amazing guide, could you please make more "anti" guides? I'd love to see Lily, Kimberly, and Jaime, so rush down characters that swarm you and make you guess

[@MCMuraFGC]

There is already a one on Kimberly and JP with more to come Here is the playlist : kzbin.info/aero/PLqfW0fHcTsJhYSrTmUgJ2qjaz4uEu-0Ie

[@GizmoMaltese]

Don't do one on Lily because she's my main. lol But do one on everyone else.

[@requiem9167]

As a marissa main, im here to learn how to bully fellow muscle mommies

[@DeathDasein]

That would be a low level Marisa, a good one will use Gladius as Anti-Aerial or even the command armour. And it also would use Level 2 as a wake up Reversal.

[@chico4175]

you can also dp her superman punch on reaction (kind of hard but not a bad option)

[@user-xv6ig2yp3z]

I haven't seen so many people carried by a character since peak Abigail. Like 70% of diamond matches are marisa

[@TrueMonarchD]

thats so funny cause theres a comment above yours that says they havent seen barely any marisa's since platinum LOL

[@user-xv6ig2yp3z]

@@TrueMonarchD you either go against unga Marisa's that don't know how to play the game. Or you go against the one's that lab the character and hit you with 70% for jumping. No in between

I second this

[@javiergiandinotto1053]

Oh damn, I don't have too much problem against Marisa but I'll wait for Kimberly and Juri guide

[@hudson3539]

Thank you for your hard work, Mura! ❤

[@Maxler5795]

I grinded the ranks as ken and from silver 2 to platinum 1 i found very few marisas. Probably cause theyre all in master

[@akilcharles3473]

1 major problem that I have with Marisa is that her offensive counter move (scutum) which is a problem to deal with. Both her and JP has an OD counter move where the latter(JP) is much worst!

[@kanasas2]

Latter my friend

[@akilcharles3473]

[@Majik202_]

Same here, she's tough but this guide is great

[@Mteverfresh]

Holy shit the section on the target combo is going to save me sooooo many loses. I've taken so many Ls to just that

[@pikachuattack542]

Now can you make a video of what to do *as* Marisa to win against people using this video? :3c

[@MCMuraFGC]

She got some options against people trying to challenge her although everything is almost a hard callout

[@TwirlingFern]

Great guide. I look forward to other guides. I second a guide vs Lily.

[@DatTeilchen]

I gladly leave a like. Im excited to see matchup video from you, the sfV matchup videos where the best on whole of YT! I hope you do a matchup video on the whole cast over time, that would be so great!

[@MCMuraFGC]

That's the plan

[@Inaluogh]

So here's the big question, what if she just DOES NOT whiff in neutral? I feel like a big part of playing against Marisa is to just wait for her to make a mistake. Which tests your patience more than your fundamentals and skill. Because she just forces you to play on defense with her armor move.

[@sadsadist]

Nice video. I hope to see more mu guides in the future.

[@old_man_fran]

Great video. I want to play Marisa so iys great to see what her weaknesses are and also what's the good stuff

[@kdaristotle9529]

As a Marisa main, I'm watching this to better my own game

[@enzogeee]

ya same i rather know my weaknesses than my characters strength

[@MrPerspective]

Same

[@leggocrewtv2052]

Co-sign

[@joeyrhubarb2558]

One thing for the MP MP target combo: she does have another option to call out OD reversals by using OD Gladius. This move has infinite armour, so the reversal gets absorbed and she'll get a punish counter combo on you

[@MCMuraFGC]

Don't tell them xD

[@Zivhayr]

I thought it was 2 hits of armor

[@akgcrucial5207]

Informative! Excited for the Manon vid.

[@sighyawn6378]

marisa is only the 4th most obnoxious matchup imo. first definitely goes to JP, second to kimberly, and third to honda. i just think the marisa matchup is more intuitive than those. i just struggle with the marisa mental stack.

[@coryharris1939]

Appreciate the hard work

[@nelomalkevain4129]

Funny how you posted this the same day I did my placements for Marisa. Got gold 1 btw which is a bit disapointing since I felt like I could have done much better epecially since when I did my placements for JP I almost got Platinum

Thanks for your work :) Very helpfull !!

[@Amateur_Hour_Pod]

Thanks Mura, this matchup is a pain. Slowly getting there with it. These tips will help

[@marcryanriginding9557]

Grea video! Could you make a similar video about Honda?

[@jayhit4212]

Good guide, quick comment on the the 5mp 5mp target combo. Even though it would be a crazy call out. She can actually make her self safe (and punish) most ex dps by doing Drive impact right after However all invul supers will 100% win everytime (unless they keep it gapless with drive rush like you mentioned)

[@balloonbunny-371]

Also her lp lp combo also has a gap on block.

[@PrivateJoker0119]

I was doing OD gladius or DR cancel into lk, but this might save me more meter., I'll lab this, nice tip

[@KingOfDarknessAndEvil]

Marisa can EX gladius out of her target combo and it beats every(?) non super reversal in the game, as well as drive impact.

[@wittyboyplays]

As a Marisa player these tips are very good!

[@hydra2019]

[@alexmaganda5827]

The issue with marisa for me is her silly dmg literally 1 mistake and you loose so much

[@gabereell]

sure, but lets say you apply this video perfectly, the marisa isnt going to be able to open you up or do much damage to you often at all. this is what balances the high damage, hard for her to take advantage, but once she has it, alt f4. its like zangief. playing marisa in high rank is torture, and finally getting those hits in feels so earned.

her MP TC is actually pointless to use. Marisas are better off using her Crmp because its drive impact cancelable, only 1Frame slower, does all combos the target combo does, and its safe from the reversal gap of the TC

[@casualhandz1922]

The fact that people dont understand that marisa is weak as hell in this game astounds me. Her weaknesses are GLARING. She has no reversals Super weak against throws. She has no anti cross up options SUPER WEAK against jumping attacks. Super SLOW buttons Can EASILY be out footsied. All her armor can be beaten by all characters in the game with the exception of sim. Because of chainable light jab. Two to three jabs broken armor. That the characters can cancel into more damage. NO PROJECTILE invincibility Can EASILY be zoned out. No easy safe options into damage like a four frame special cancelable jab that can go into drive rush. The people complaing about her dont main her. Im a one trick plat Marisa. Compared to the broken characters that are guile luke ken juri cammy ryu dj blanka we are not the same.
