Street Fighter 6 Drive Rush Explained! Execution & Easy Tips

[@Kingdom_Heart]

Your extensive SF4 tutorial that includes chains, links, confirms and how frame data works is how I learned fighting games and I enjoy them so much more because of that. I skipped playing SFV but now that I’m back playing SF6 all the things you taught helped ease me back in and from that time on I had been able to apply everything you taught to other games. I just wanted to express my appreciation to you Vesper. As much as I like Dood there’s no way you don’t deserve credit for that tech. I’m calling it VRush.

[@VesperArcade]

Thanks for the support! Please don't call it V Rush LOL it was a joke!

[@shaieresmirnoff]

You didn’t miss anything by skipping SFV , all those tips wouldn’t apply , welcome back. I took a break from 4-6 also I’m glad to be playing street fighter again like it’s my side chick

[@sorry11303]

They was beating my ass online after I watch that Street fighter 4 instructional video I became the Executioner hate messages regularly 😂

[@Follow.the.Leader]

Is there an updated version for sf6? I need to learn all that stuff lol

[@DuvJones]

@@VesperArcade Oh man, that hits a ways... V Rush it ain't.

[@Riz_]

Hi Vesper, Just a quick message to say I really love how you explain even the most advanced things in simple non-patronising way. It is very well done and very appreciated.

[@VesperArcade]

Thanks for watching!

[@sbkMulletMan]

That Dood Derail was amazing! Shine On!

[@PlustechSB]

The receipts detective part was hilarious haha, funny thing is that prolly all exp players found it on their own, is not rocket science people! Thanks for the content vesper

[@cheezeballcity]

Vesper, I've been waiting for you to make this video! Only you could make a video so easy to understand! The reason I was able to stand a fighting chance in SFV was because I watched your videos! Keep up the great work!

[@thabreaka]

You and Rooflemonger drop some serious knowledge in such nicely packaged videos thanks for the quality video it's helpful af!. You da man!

[@StephaneRoumanille]

Hello Vesper, Even after months, amazing resource, thanks from France! I watch and re-watch many or your guides and get better step by step, every day (or feeling like, lol) Take care :)

[@Bubblerlol]

Alternate for instant drive rush is Forward, MP+MK (Hold slightly), Forward, oh at 7:55 you got that one too!

[@Mechromey]

I’m here was the DR weakness segment. I been letting way to many people DR on me when I could just button/special them out. Thanks Vesper!

[@Mordred41407]

Thank you! I knew about the input shortcut but not the buffering and holding parry during juggles.

[@AegisKHAOS]

Thanks for this in-depth vid on the V Rush. Your receipts helped alot.

[@LeviathanCove]

Lol that receipt thing is funny. On the other hand I think max does use the “vesper rush” as his rule

[@alekschang]

Vesper, been a fan since the SF4 tutorial! your Honda piano tutorial is amazing and helped me learn how to consistently get thousand hand combos. so glad to see you still doing this kind of detailed content

[@rbelljr29]

As someone who just really got serious into sf with 6, THANK YOU for this video. I'm going through the classic controls growing pains, working my way back up to bronze 5 with luke....and this video was a piece of tech that kept getting used on me, that I had no idea how to do.

[@smoothbm2086]

Awesome V-Rush video bro! lol definitely helpful tips here keep ‘em coming!

[@vonvyrus]

Hey Vesper, I was a fanatic of your SF4 tutorials and got high ranked enough to compete locally. I skipped SF5 due to life etc. Now I'm back on SF6, and your masterful explanations of things got me back on board quickly. Thank you for what you're doing and keeping it real always.

[@Adan-ke4sx]

At the end of the video: “It’s 1 in the morning” *keeps playing ranked anyway*

[@fiffanatic17]

Dude holding the Parry during the move is a freaking game changer. Thank you so much Vesper

[@PinchiExivion]

You are a godsend, dude. I was sorta kicking fools into the curb without it, but from Silver upwards folks was putting me down with combos I couldn't answer to cause I just couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This will help my combo game something fierce. Let's have fun everyone 😁

[@yama_yama_yama]

Even mostly just watching as a spectator this is good info to know, thank you.

[@loytowse8140]

Thanks for the video! I’ve been seeing 1 AM a lot more recently since streetfighter six came out. You are not alone. Lol

[@Cris-du4ws]

Thanks so much for the juggle drive tip. I would manually do it and time it as best as possible.

[@isaiahfaux5674]

OMG FINALLY actual good tips you sir have earned both a like and a subscriber thank you.

[@Brunolima06]

Thanks for all the help, Vesper… your guides and tips are awesome. GGs!!

[@TangleFoot56]

I can't believe i was pushing parry to drive rush cancel this whole time and i didnt need to. What a rube i am. Thanks Vesper.

[@redKheld]

Ah yes, finally, the 15+1 Drive Rush tips video has finally arrived!

[@celeumacolorada]

Vesper has the best channel about Street Fighter. This channel should have at least 2x more subscribers.

[@Xendyou22]

Awesome vid thank you so much! It's as if you were watching my gameplay and saw how tough it is for me to land juggle combo rush . Much appreciated.

[@bumbaraz]

OMG Thank you! I really needed this.

[@VandalHeart383]

Absolutely a very valuable video. Very descriptive. I knew how to use drive gauge a little, but this just blew my mind of how little I knew. Now, I feel like I can win EVO (joking of course. I'll just be a walking body bag). Great job!!!🎉

[@Tassadar4Ever]

This was sooooo helpful!!!! Thanks very much 😊

[@Vae17111]

Let's just call it the V-Dood Rush and everyone's happy. Awesome video, thanks !

[@viniciosantos]

Such great guide and presentation. Thank you.

[@OldChanCharlie]

Thanks needed help on this one. I keep getting sonic booms when I try to dr. Starting to learn to have the stick in neutral when I dr.

[@dadahosain1158]

I want to apologize for believing that Max did it first. You the real MVP vesper. V-rush it is.

[@TreasureTrain]

I just wanna know why I can't combo into Hondas st.hp from a drive rush move that has enough plus frames to allow a combo

[@VesperArcade]

Can you be more specific on the combo? I would assume it's because Hondas hand swings really wide so it takes longer for it to hit in front of him.

[@HuhWhatHuhwhatHuh]

I did not think I was going to get anything from this, but I was dying on Kimberly’s trial 11. I could NOT get the TC to come out. It would always start on Mp. It’s that wonky buffering after the dash in the DoodRush you mentioned. It was eating my input because I was too fast. Thanks

[@Stigz86]

Very good examples and explanation, I play SF since SF2 on and off and find SF6 the best the series has ever been. Thanks for the hard work.

[@zoltankerekes4506]

So grateful for this content, I feel that you actually want us to understand what's being shown, thank you. I'm subscribing for more! :)

[@ryecabansag5685]

Hmm i like how you give inputs for sf6. Worth following kudos 👍

[@carlwhite7447]

Hey Vesper. Great guide. I was late to SF4 and missed 5 completely. Had this game and a PS5 for 2 weeks and loving your coverage. Drive rush suddenly makes sense 😅

[@opgam3r482]

Especially the second half of this video was fire info, if you already have the opponent juggling, don't DR cancel, just DR into a button that now has juggle properties... LOVE that... and It shed light on when to use Ken's Run/Stop vs attempting a fake DR on knockdown (which I've been victim to multiple times) Am I the only one debating on using my P5 scuf impact (or pad in general) over my stick? I haven't played a fighting game w/ a Pad since DOA on the Xbox lol... I always felt games like UMvC3 is button heavy, button dash etc... so It's really helpful to utilize those Sanwa Denshi, Stick was more for directional placement, but in SF type game etc, >> is a button press essentially on a directional pad, therefore less deadzone on a switch gate (square gate) I guess It's going to come down to how many "Buttons" per second I can utilize 5 fingers w/ vs just my right thumb (I don't claw) Most of the newer/ players in my club are using Hitbox, I bought one years ago, never felt right... Tiger Knee Tatsu w/ Ken, Instant Air jump MP into dive kick confirm w/ Juri is why I've stuck w/ the stick so far, it's just less likely I mess that sort of motion up, but this game is SOMEHOW faster, but requires less button presses "Per 3 seconds" if you will... or does it? I'm all f'd up trying to decide....

[@VesperArcade]

I switched to pad because of how important dash inputs and down, down are but doing TK Dive kicks feel tough with Cammy. So it comes down to what you're comfortable with and which character you're playing. We still have pro players using every type of controller.

[@opgam3r482]

@@VesperArcade right right... This Ken, I need to Master (no pun intended) But Juri and Deejay are my second and 3rd... I want a Dudley, Adon, Goken, Akuma, Fei Long lol... mann... Bring this games mechanics w/ those characters? Oh my things will heat up!

[@ActivelyVacant]

DR also changes juggles for the follow-up attacks. Jamie's d+KK launcher normally can't be followed by a jumping HK, but if you Rush into the launcher the HK will connect as well.

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

Same for Ken’s MP + Hp target combo. You can rush into his heavy punch then finish with a shoryuken.

[@skellyboatman]

So THAT's why it wasn't working! ty

[@VesperArcade]

Jamie's D+KK is the perfect example, I'll try to bring that up next time thanks!

[@HuhWhatHuhwhatHuh]

Hey, just a request. I’m trying out lots of characters and one thing I really need that I’m assuming others would, is a quick combo guide for max damage with meter, without, in corner, and with super. Like just the B&B’s. Lights, etc I can lab, but it’d be nice to have a quick reference guide to speed up getting ready for ranked with a new character. Thanks for all you do.

[@JaiTheSon]

We have the Character Combo Guides, however, can you do Character Guides in this format. Where you illustrate their archetype, normals/specials tips and where you’d use certain combos. I think this would be great for beginners.

[@Mario_bland]

With the vesper rush its like the v system never went away

[@mekkz4744]

I learnt a lot here, ty man.

[@raspberrymintendo2171]

This is the only drive rush guide to watch nobody explains this comprehensively

[@zeo5008]

The issue for drive rush with me is that I have mastered doing it "raw" for the most part, but not on hit. I play on a stick and I find it very hard to actually go left or right twice really fast. I check my inputs and I see an arrow going straight and an arrow going diagonally low and down. So it's the most challenging mechanic for me in the game, but with more time and practice I should get it.

[@azada83]

Yeah drive rush mid combo on stick has been real tricky for me. Ive found i need to do the first forward motion befor i hit the move fkr it to come out.

[@batzgameguru]

I'm the opposite lmao

[@hteety]

@@azada83 That's a good habit to get into for any cancel. Buffering your motion inputs before you finish the input on confirm is one of the harder, but still fundamental skills when it comes to execution.

[@GoronsCave]

no problem for tekken players lol, infact drive rush feels really easy to do coming from that game. It's all just practice man, It'll click soon :)

[@zeo5008]

@@GoronsCave Thanks!

[@colinhay1666]

This is such a great guide 👏👍👍

[@malcolmjelani3588]

I've gotten used to using the left shoulder button for both parry and drive rush. It just takes getting used to, like playing an instrument.

[@MidnightSpecial777]

This video was so informative that I didn't even need to watch it all and now I'm already Grand Master rank.

[@VesperArcade]

LOL

[@kristofferrer]

Thanks V. An easy informative watch from en egoless pro!

[@Dirt33breaks]

DR on a pad is infinitely easier than on stick. As on stick you have to wait for the stick to return to neutral, which often fucks me up.

[@miguerys9503]

and even easier on keyboard

[@VesperArcade]

Absolutely.

[@SHINOBIofFATE]

This video is gold. Thanks!

[@Ricadamu]

I'm a Diamond 4 and did not all you had to do was press fwd fwd after a strike. I just accepted drive rush combos were not for me.

[@TheRyndiculous]

I recommend using drive rush with the following input: --> MP+MK --> I can pull it off every time.

[@miguerys9503]

Don't know if it's useful and probably something that was discovered months ago but I haven't heard much: just as you can do the Dood Rush by fwd+parry > fwd, instead of doing cancellable normal > fwdx2, you can do fwd+normal > fwd.

[@bazzjedimaster]

First the Veper step, now the Vesper Rush, the Vesper tech just keep coming.

[@SHART_SIMPSON]

😂😂😂😂 BRAVO MY GOOD MAN

[@TheZionsoljah]

Whats the vesper step

[@bazzjedimaster]

@@TheZionsoljah it's a nick name we gave to micro walking on the middle of combos from a stream.

[@TheZionsoljah]

@bazzjedimaster oh ok. Haven't need to use the vesper step yet lol. I guess kimberly doesn't benefit from such tech?

[@sohaibali9030]

I had problems with the second button after the drive rush, ex: with ryu: drive rush, smp, then shp wont come out even though frame wise it should maybe its because its very small window but even for a different button with more leniency on the frame window it wont come out

[@VesperArcade]

The window is just small. I drop it sometimes myself.

[@bobbyb7489]

coming here way late, but very helpful. Thanks!

[@grymgryn]

What I want to understand is, why, even when I'm anticipating someone doing drive rush into buttons, even my fastest buttons don't come out to check it?

Hi Vesper, Ça you exolain how to do Dr Cancel from low attacs please. For me it's the most difficult input. Thank you for this clear video

Vesper rush sounds good to me! Lol

[@alienmicrobe1232]

Now I have a way to deal with blanka ball, didn’t know in the full game you could dr after perfect parry

[@2badmice811]

The problem with pressing the button immediately after dr is if the character has a forward normal compared to the standing normal you want you will get the forward normal.

[@chromehuffer3250]

dood rush sounds like one of the activities on offer at ram ranch

[@charted8015]

Very useful info. Thanks.

[@RasperHelpdesk]

Out of curiosity, can you map the standard dashes to buttons? I have a very difficult time with pressing the same direction twice, physically, so dashes have never been possible (you can imagine how big a deficit that was) and as such haven't bought SF6. But if i could map it to a button, that would open the door.

[@christianvargas5046]

bro thanks alot this was very helpful

[@GGreenLink]

do you have any tips on how to interrupt your opponent doing Dr on you?? the screen freeze during it makes it really hard to react with a button.

[@MrBenedictHeyer]

I just tried drive rush cancel with Deejay. Playing on stick. Man, I'm literally too slow for crouching low punch and medium punch cancel on P2 side. I've been playing more serious since Street Fighter 4 and apparently I have been holding the stick wrong all this time.

[@VesperArcade]

Yeah, using a stick is tough since you have to dash so much and use down, down inputs.

[@TommyPenny_]

This was next level.

[@bennistar4697]

@vesperarcade. Quick question mate. When using a pad, what’s your button mapping? Cheers

It seems like I am still having issues holding DR while trying extends my combs. Example "crouching LK crouching LP DR into crouching MP lariat with Zangief doesn't seem to work for me". I guess I'm not clear as to when I hold the DR down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@LimitRX]

The perfect drive rush technique is literally Jiyuna's tech. Yes, there are receipts, he made a video about it. Jiyuna bros are calling it the J-rush. Give credit where credit is due and don't claim it your own and give the person who found it some respect.

[@iinsaniity6729]

to reiterate, you only get benefits to normals/only can use normals out of drive rush?

[@VesperArcade]

Yes, only normal attacks are amplified into or out of drive rush. You can tell because your character remains green.

[@saturos13]

Wait... When did vesper switch to pad?

[@stealthbastard8837]

Vesper tech ftw

[@volktol4432]

1:53 one thing I did learn, from neutral, if you press foward once, and then press the parry and the forward again. So instead of Parry-forward-forward, it becomes forward-parry+foward, as far as I know, it’s the fastest way to DR from neutral

[@Realitycheck98765]

Not to mention and more importantly it costs more meter if you do it the wrong way.

[@VesperArcade]

Thanks for adding that. When you see me look at my old video you see that input on the screen.
