They’ll never expect the 7th invincible reversal.

[@StarShadow9009]

Good ol rock, nothing beats that

[@MundoSD]

This is how videogame guides should be. No trial and error padding, no calls to action to sub, just straight to the point. Thank you.

[@cizzymac]

Delay techs are exactly what throw escape practice mode is trying to teach players. It even sort-of tells you as such, but this video is much more detailed about the nuance of the tech.

[@monday3302]

okay im a big fan of the overall editing/presentation of these videos but the random discord notifications keep jumpscaring me lmao

[@spencerchristensen8482]

Holy shit, a video that actually teaches useful tools and how to use them rather than just showing off combos!

[@marcelomaia8901]

This is simply the best succinct explanation of how a fighting game really works. Great job!

[@venw.3655]

Lol. The best Tekken Customize song. Still in love with Your Sunset after all these years.

[@VivanteMixes]

well presented, one of the best videos explaining defense and what options there are

[@4zqS]

Man… This video is pure knowledge. I love it, thanks.

[@darkfeeels]

Really like how informative and presentative your videos are, good tips!

[@alicesauter8231]

Great video. Really laid everything out in a quick and digestible way.

[@aoy20002]

Probably the most informative guides out there great job

[@Dysprooh]

Your videos are so succinct and well presented, you've earned yourself a sub! Keep them coming please

[@blugoo]

dang, this is an incredibly good video. the way the information was presented was concise but very understandable. keep up the good work!

[@mynameisfury7320]

excellent video, goes over all the basics in a clear, concise, and easy to follow format

[@Kazner0h]

This is a really effective breakdown. Thank you!

[@matehiqu9905]

Another banger of a video, keep up the good work

[@ten606ixx]

Fantastic video! Loving your work 👊🏾

[@davimotion543]

One of the best fighting game tutorials I've seen, amazing work.

[@donoteatmikezila]

Excellent as always.

[@FreshSakuya]

Thank you for this video. It does a great job of teaching something complicated while keeping it simple

[@Peacemaker100028]

Really great guide man, short, concise

[@bdpchamp3907]

This is the best breakdown I’ve seen of these mechanics

[@mc.type_guy]

This video explained fighiing game Rock Paper Scissors in the best way I've ever seen. I don't even play fighting games or watch much Street Fighter yet understood everything. Keep up the great work!

[@TomahAwkDJ7]

amazing ! was crystal clear, simple, concise

[@yasuo_yakitori]

This is really well made. Keep it up!

[@TypicallyUniqueOfficial]

This is one of the most valuable videos I’ve seen on SF6

[@superninja_youtube]

Your beginner-friendly and comprehensive guides have helped me so much whilst getting used to Street Fighter 6. I have a long-term experience with various fighting games, but my major experience with SF is 5, which we know has a.. mixed, reputation. I love 6, but it is definitely taking some time to get used to - these videos have been a substantial mentor, and I've been seeing myself improve incorporating their ideas. Thank you!

[@dragoko88]

este video es oro... muchas gracias!

[@921Ether]

this video is amazing. and it really made me appreciate the complexity of this amazing game

[@cubone285]

Excellent overview on defense theory

[@zionjackson7617]

Great video appreciate everything you told me this, but the real winner goes to this banger ass music in the background❤

[@PR1ME98]

Defense is more important than offense to me in fighting games. So this helps alot.

[@DrakeAldan]

Excellent work. Well done.

[@finnt4937]

Nice. I saw a few tip videos, that only cover 1 or2 interactions, but now i have a video, where everything is condensed.

[@Im_Jouken]

Such an excellent video

[@Yakuo]

Thank you for this awesome video!!!

[@chasepalumbo2929]

Street fighter is actually complicated again, and I love it.

[@raeelemental7084]

Honestly such an insightful video.. thank you! I finally know what do SF players mean when they say shimmy...

[@kway26]

Saved to my SF6 playlist, thanks for this

[@ZenryokuFGC]

Fantastic video, thanks

[@WeezyBox]

Informative and simple

[@hundrds1283]

Great video thank you for making

[@Evilj82]

This is a great refresher video for me as I’ve been playing more Tekken 7 and haven’t played SF since 2016. Although I understood the concept of staggered poking (like two lights, walk up light) I never understood the concept of delaying my buttons on my frame advantage until recently in order to counterhit their mashing and delay teching. One of my friends usually mashes throw breaks after deep jumps in and so he loses to shimmy…or he mashes light punch to stop the shimmy after getting hit a few times.

[@edmyeg]

the best video explaining defense in SF6. Every other video fails to boil it down like you did. Please make one on offense.

[@pso2reaper514]

ttt2 your sunset is a vibe man

[@clockworkserpent]

Subbed immediately, very nice job

[@Klindir]

Excellent !

[@CaptainYesz]

Great for new people, nothing new here having reached super diamond in SFV but hope that this gives newer players a huge big picture of "the game"

[@zechariahcaraballo8765]

This is an amazing tutorial

[@michaeleisenberg1995]

This was beautifully done. Please make an advanced defense tutorial

[@10demitrius]

Wow really great video

[@MitWalker123]

rly nice video thanks a lot!

[@sweetblazincronic9]

incredible song choice

[@OniLink977]

great vid

[@jolenecoda]

Amazing video.

[@AkizaNoir]

Thanks coach!

[@Sol--dier]

thanks for the guide g

[@ReapingUroboros]

Thank you for putting these out! It’s what feels like a video formatted version of Modern controls/defense for dummies (the book series). They’ve helped me a lot, and I think they’re really good sources to point to for anyone that may be frustrated fighting against x character using modern, and for general understanding of the game with this one! Thank you for adding to our collective knowledge 💜

[@rebite.7641]

amazing guide, it's so hard to fight good tutorials on youtube. Thanks!

[@sans_seraph]

That tekken tag 2 character customization theme was a instant assurance of quality. Then the content was also very good!

[@mklzer0]

this video just opened my third eye holy shit

[@lifebreath1015]

Came for the sf tech, stayed for the tekken tag 2 soundtrack music

[@souwaki]

i love this

[@Allexish_]

Really nice video. I was wondering if you gonna do the same with offense. Cause I see so many changes how the game works nowadays

[@luicifiero]

Love the TTT2 ost

[@sky-oq5mr]

Damn i miss tekken tag 2 man smh this the closest thing too it in terms of competitive gameplay that ive dealt wuth after mkx

[@shadowchao21]

"That's right. We throw those fuckers." Thanks for that lmao

[@thecoolkid440]

To the point, clear, succinct. Fuck it, ill sub to that.

[@ivandariogye]

I like how this video went from kindergarden logic to rocket science by the end 😂

[@HartlockYT]

you are introducing so much new blood into the game just from this video, i wouldn't be surprised if a future EVO champ is going to explain how he never played fighting games til he saw your video. good work man, you're the goat

[@Bober909]

Dash forward into grab on wakeup for the most mental damage you can ever inflict, trust me.

[@Renkay141]

Back Stepping and jumping beats throw toos, mostly cause command grabs cannot be tech-ed.

[@hakouthegamer7978]

Can you please do one on playing footsies in SF6 how you should approach playing neutral should you go for hit confirms should you try to whiff punish should you try to just walk and block then throw ?

[@israelfv]

T H A N K S

[@someaccount5200]

Can this apply to other fighting games as well?

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

For the most part, yeah.

[@liljon042]

If a game has specifically these options then yes. Anime fighters have a faster pace and air dashes which tend to lead to less defense and more offense

[@Micha-Hil]

SF6 went from RPS to Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

[@Zahoops]

I love the light hearted memes generated from the Modern control schemes lol. But seriously, if you're considering using Modern, go for it! Ease yourself into the game and then jump into classic when you feel like it. And maybe that's next week, next month of next year. This game will be around for potentially 5+ years, so no rush!

[@Vidyadude]

Normal tick throws from lights are not real in this game. Instead of delay teching you can just delay jab the throw attempt and you get a counter punish.

[@xenosuki]

I don't get how shimmy is good for delay tech. Doesn't the grab only come out if you try to grab them?

[@DenOfSin]

Nope. The way you delay tech is literally block for a few frames then tech, hence the name. If they attack you with a fast button, you stay blocking and no tech comes out. If they throw or use a slower button, you tech or throw them. Either way you're still pressing the throw button, just ya know... delayed. Fun fact, when people first discovered delay teching in SF4 it was considered completely busted. It took a year or so for "The Gootecks Shimmy" to appear.

[@xenosuki]

@@DenOfSin I understand. Thanks.

[@blackmanta2527]

I'm still struggling to just shimmy . I'm still getting grabbed when I walk backwards. Any help please?

[@Pavidota]

you're forgetting the ultimate online tech when you're getting pressured, mashing cr.lp

[@eljuliogg7854]

song name?

[@block36079]

2:42 Name of song?

[@Kenlac92]

Gonna watch this later my defense is garbage tier

[@brando402]

Just take the throw

[@coltranebartlett590]

everyone is always talking about shimmies and how they're the ultimate delay tech counter. but can't you also.just hit them with a low? isnt crouch teching not in this game?

[@akshaytelmasare8901]

Can you please slow down the reading part by 20%

[@hawkswordzero2206]

Why don't you slow the video down a bit if it's giving you trouble?

[@akshaytelmasare8901]

@@hawkswordzero2206 audio gets messed up Bro and I genuinely think the reading part is bit too fast,

[@TomahAwkDJ7]

just press pause bro

[@TheArnaud44]

I actually agree with you! The video was amazing but in general if text is just a tiny bit slower it makes it a lot more easy to follow

[@InvertID]

Nice fundemantals but you forgot to teach us "the flowchart"

[@HunnitAcresGaming]

I came for the video but am leaving because I don’t like reading videos… Use your voice to keep the auditory learners around! 💪🏾

[@yurareigiryu]

Change the music please? Thank you.

[@BlackWeeeb]

people just take the throw its only 1200dmg as opposed to on average 2550+ METERLESS DMG. would you rather guess and take 3000k-5k+ dmg. or take 1200. in this game its not worth throw tech delaying becuase of drive gauge combos PLUS the insane damage you get with punish counter in this game. a standard light confirm combo is around 1500 so id rather take 1200 dmg slowly, than guess wrong and let the person get free dmg. you still gain drive meter while being thrown so its worth just taking the throw and making the other person think. even in 1600s MR people dont go for throw loops. So lesson of the day is TAKE THE THROW IN THIS GAME (if youre in the corner ofc) dont let people bully you into getting unnecessary free damage

[@raptorman8969]

song name ?
