[Street Fighter 6 Season 1] Every Character's Anti-Fireball Tools

[@DenOfSin]

JUST A HEADS UP: Lily's EX Condor Spire is projectile invuln when she has a stack of Wind Dee Jay's sway dash is projectile invuln

[@Ashen-Crow]

Pin this my man

[@Haka-f3k-u]

Also Manon's EX Spin has Upper Body Full Invincibility, so she doesn't need to time shit if she burns gauge.

[@cerdi_99]

@@Haka-f3k-u the timing of the invul is the same regardless, that just lets her punish ppl poking with moves that hit relatively high

[@lobster6736]

You forgot that Lily's photo taunt can destroy fireballs, definitely character defining

[@lukefrancois6173]

If lily has windclad stocks, ex condor spire is projectile invulnerable, and it's plus on block. Very good anti-fireball tool imo

[@DenOfSin]

this is what i get for asking lily mains and trusting them when they said no

[@josemonerri512]

​@@DenOfSin it's important to downplay in the early days 😂

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

I learned this literally yesterday and it felt kind of unfair lol

[@Warsheep2k6]

​@@user-wy1et9dk9wwhats unfair about it if you Spam her with fast balls she wont have time to get a Stack

[@user-wy1et9dk9w]

@@Warsheep2k6 if you spam fireball any decent player using Lily will parry that garbage and even without a stack will eventually get you with an EX dive. Which will then get her said stack and really all you need is one to be a threat.

[@gh0st1n__]

Lily can also use her taunt to cancel out 1 hit fireballs. Cool little bit of Trivia

[@gh0st1n__]

Oh and Deejay sway goes through fireballs as well.

[@yano4473]

Lily taunt has way too much recovery for it to be anything but funny unfortunately.

[@StarrBomba]

you forget luke's mock hadoken taunt which embarrasses the enemy into never hadokening

[@Rasokar]

Just found your channel recently and I gotta say the work you're doing is great! Concise and to the point about more niche aspects of the game. Love it!

[@1000Tomatoes]

Isn't DJ's sway dash fireball invulnerable.

[@kosmonaft]

Yes

[@DenOfSin]

*slams head into desk*

[@mydrillasanjay5397]

​@@DenOfSin looks like another addendum is in order

[@paz8723]

Gotta release that *content* fast you know before anyone else does

[@Haka-f3k-u]

@@DenOfSin The desk, however, was not Projectile Headbutt Invulnerable.

[@bigbangtheory0000]

You forgot that Geifs Standing HP has a hit of armour and is chargable, so you can use that at a closer range than lariat

[@1000Tomatoes]

Didn't know JP's counter lost to fireballs. Makes it beating throws a little less wild.

[@Naota753]

It WHAAAAAT!? Signed, a Gief main

[@OhNoTheFace]

No counter should beat throws

[@sanicboi9187]

Yeah no counter should ever beat throws

[@1000Tomatoes]

@@Naota753 i did say "a little"

[@Hotobu]

So what is someone who doesn't have a fireball supposed to do?

[@lalo2513]

The information and format or your videos are way to good, im subscribed!

[@DarkLitUniverse]

Something that should probably be added to it's own section is that JP's fireballs (except the grab) can be dashed through, though I don't know which characters this is a viable option for, or how the timing differs for the different versions.

[@theedwardian]

Dashed under or dashed through? I know some characters can low-profile dash under projectiles but if it's universal projectile-immunity that's pretty crazy and unprecedented.

[@DenOfSin]

i just found out about this and labbed every character and their options against JP and will be doing a vid on that after i finish some more modern stuff

[@cerdi_99]

@@theedwardian it's not that they're immune, it's that JPs proyectiles dont have a hitbox until they "detect" the other player. So some characters are fast enough with DR or some special move to just go through it before the hitbox activates

[@Mackievellian]

I was playing earlier and purely by accident noticed that OD DP went clean under the hado, nice to know that is deliberate

[@lintangtaraqi]

i think deejay's forward punch follow up after jus cool is fireball invuln

[@oracidrep]

Marisa's superman punches also just go over lots of fireballs, no armor needed.

[@randomcatname7792]

It's not a good option, but Jamie has a taunt where he lays down and goes under the fireball. Useful for flexing

[@AnthonyWhite37]

This vid made me remember that 1993 was 30 years ago, crazy

[@victorchen547]

Chun holding stance itself can go under some fireballs too

[@soulwarrior5791]

Chun Li can also low profile fireballs by simply staying in Serenity Stream

[@pank3245]

You also forgot to mention that Blanka has a full screen slide if he uses drive rush. It completely nullifies any fireball game in nuetral. I guess you can say every character can parry a fireball and go into drive rush to close the distance.

[@Aetohatir]

Looks like Kimberly is dancing to the music.

[@calcutlass]

Great video man very informative

[@FranckyFox2468]

This has been very useful for my and my friend who's been playing and really enjoying SF6. Do you intend to make updated versions later when a certain amount of DLC characters are added?

[@DenOfSin]

Yep. Every character-specific video will get a full redo when a new season begins.

[@Zivhayr]

Marisa Level 3 and her non-ex phalanx are also great options.

[@doomleika]

Luke’s avenger overhead is fireball invincible, reach’s almost full screen

[@Chato13]

deejay has a dash that goes thru fireballs too

[@niah2209]

Chun li stance allows her to just let fireballs fly over her head

[@lemoniscence]

I find Luke’s SA3, Pale Rider, works well against fireballs.

[@semi_automatico]

I believe Blanka's command grab works like tatsu with fireballs and his S3 too

[@doldol0494]

Dee jay's level 2 is a good way to counter fireballs cause it has so much invul post flash.

[@C3lticlord]

Juri can ex DP to go through them sometimes it goes forward enough to hit them

[@ZenryokuFGC]

Zangief also has charge st.hp which has a hit of armor

[@ephrumthesnowball]

Hondas ex headbutt goes through two hit fireballs

[@habijjj]

Technically if you use it with good timing marisa's dragon punch has lower body invincibility.

[@joaquinbitancor1269]

Doesn't marisa's superman punch go over fireballs?

[@TechnicallyaMoleRat]

Yes, I've seen it a few times now. Probably has to be a read or lucky timing, though

[@GigaHands]

Yes, but only rather late into the animation. It's not a reliable tool in the slightest for this purpose.

[@DenOfSin]

I've only been able to get the non EX version to consistently do it on a read and for midrange fireballs its kinda bad. At that point it's about like doing any other move to hit someone you know is about to do a fireball during their startup.

[@whopperlu]

Would like if text stayed on screen a bit longer. As of now it's changing too fast

[@Af0]

Been playing Manon since launch and I didn't once get a successful attempt with her "anti-fireball" tech. It only works against fast fireballs and even then you have to be so close. Basically useless.

[@cerdi_99]

against slow fireballs you can use the heavy version and you dont need to hit it, going past the fireball is most of the times just good enough as you are getting closer (which is ultimately what u want as manon)

[@alexg582]

what is the point of using fireballs at long distance at all if they can just be parried

[@Perukkrecabruh]

Luke's SA3 can pass under projectiles.

[@tiagoj8020]

Great guide thanks!

[@zechariahcaraballo8765]

Why doesnkents tatsu not gonthrough fireballs like ryu's, he is supposed to be more rushdown and I feel this would help, but then again ken is a monster upclose so I dont mind lol

[@yikes8317]

answered your own question

[@captainphoton1693]

Didn't you forgot about half of deejays options? What about his jus cool dash ?

[@zeywop]

so should i just always be doing the light version of the hit grab when trying to get thru fireball? as manon. specifically. been really struggling against JP. i’d probably be struggling against guile but i haven’t seen one lol

[@cerdi_99]

depends on the range and how soon u can react to it. The heavier the version the longer the proyectile invul lasts, but sadly so does the startup (i recommend to use the kick if you dont think it's going to hit as it only leaves u -5 instead of -16 at best)

[@BlackVulpes]

damn son, really earning my subscribe there. Nice info sharing!

[@TheWorldconsumer]

lets be honest: the best looking anti-fireball tool is the clap of honda XD. Fireball swatted away like an annoying fly :)

[@platanutra8430]

me clicking for lily info and being bamboozled

[@mmaldonadoofficial]

you should make a video for all Guile matchups too

[@GoldScale57]

Was Luke's lv 3 going through fireballs removed? Its mentioned in the demo and I did it myself. Its pretty wacky imo

[@DenOfSin]

It's still there but I count SA3s going through fireballs as a universal option as they're all invincible on startup and most active frames

[@Shadar22]

Hey, what's goin on man? You ready to play?

[@yano4473]

I'm also fighting to keep the KOF player inside

[@MysticColorsAttack]

I haven't tested this so I could be wrong, but you say that a character needs a 3 hit fireball or super to beat Luke's ex sandblast. but in sf6, super projectits have priority over ex projectiles which have priority over normal projectiles. Luke can totally brute force the fireball game, but ex sandblast loses to another fireball super

[@themangomanjuice]

Very cool.

[@netherlim]

No Honda EX Headbutt will beat two hits of fireball.

[@nonuvurbeeznus795]

now if only i knew what throwing a bad fireball was

[@thruwaycircus2532]

"Bad" fireballs are spacing dependant. A sort of rule of thumb is if you're within 2-3 character lengths of the opponent, and you don't have a read on their timing, it's a bad fireball.

[@GastonLabaff]

Really awesome content, thanks a lot!! Modern looks promising, I like the fact that they are actually patching it day 1, it shows they really seem to care about it! With everything you have studied, which chara do you think is currently the most reliable when played as modern compared to their classic version?

[@watchulookinat271]

Damn Zangief punishes zoner severely if they were to mess up their combo

[@Af0]

Were Jamie's kicks improved since the beta? They sucked as anti-fireball tehc in the beta.

[@EXFrost]

Nope they in fact got nerfed :( They are only fireball invincible from frame 3 rather than 1 iirc

[@StopResetPlease]

very nice video ty

[@robinasterisk]

what time does lily appear

[@moseslalmuanpuia8988]

Let's be real. The best anti fireball is luke's hadouken

[@faragaroruga3229]

Ken's run special get some projectile invuln

[@MTdaBlacking]

"Because there is no God..." I'm sensing an anti-Chun Li bias here. 😂

[@Jagurda1]

Guile EX Flash also great.

[@jaynyc154]

Thank you

[@LupusAdNoctem]

Great video. Text is like 20% too fast imo

[@LuckyImpling]

Something you didn’t mention for JP: if you EX any of his shadow clones (including the grab!) they’ll blow straight through any non-EX fireballs and keep going, probably going on to hit or grab them depending on which one you threw

[@DenOfSin]

I figured that and didnt mention it since that generic interaction is talked about in my fireball video

[@KhunShawn]

What’s a guy gotta do to get some commentary around here?

[@insiderperson18279]

Slow down your slides dude I can't read that fast
