Street Fighter V 101 Basics Tutorial for Beginners with @gootecks - Part 2: Defense (Ryu)

[@senorjay2851]

Between these tutorials, the Xavier Woods set, and just generally watching Cross Counter, if I can get past the salt, I might stand a chance at actually learning how to play a fighting game for once in my life. Thanks for the more-or-less community service, Gootecks.

[@danaltamirano2546]

Thanks Ryan. Your guide is really helpful

[@tarisco614]

Totally new fighting game player. Bought the game 2 days ago and I fucking blow. Thanks a ton for all the work that went into these videos. I can already see improvements.

[@defm1]

Thank you Gootecks!! I just played my first ranked match ever, (also first street fighter match against another human being period) went up against someone that was lvl 17, and managed to win 1 out of 3 best of 3's we did! My heart was POUNDING!

[@Xehalus]

bless you, Gootecks-sensei

[@czproductions]

As someone who was really good at MKX, I am getting dominated in this game. I didn't expect it to be so different! I was getting very frustrated with SFV because of the strange timings on a lot of combos. Decided to forget everything I thought I knew and relearn it all! Thanks for the helpful vids, I have already learned a ton! I subscribed so I can hopefully learn more and maybe become mediocre at the game :D

[@GIR177]

+CZ Productions Well you did have to get used to not having a block button too.

[@AlloyNES]

+CZ Productions I'm in the exact same boat. I'm a great Kano player, for instance, but I've gone into SFV like I'm a clean slate. It's frustrating right now. I have my main chosen, and I know her well. However, I can't defeat Normal Survival, and most of my online casual fights I cut my teeth on are losses. They're getting closer to wins, and I'm actually getting wins here and there, but I feel like I have a long way to go. I need a regular sparring partner!

[@thesprawl2361]

+NESv1 Well, I haven't touched an SF game in twenty years, but my muscle memory's okay on classic characters like Ken/Ryu, etc.. I don't play one-on-ones very often(prefer Ninja Gaiden/Bayonetta, etc.) but I'm enjoying SFV and just getting acquainted with the basics in training. I've missed out on two decades of mechanics and terminology so this guide's excellent, and even though the lack of in-game tutorial is just criminal the actual training set-up is brilliant. Gotta say, I always hated MK :).

[@Demondzeta]

Its the same for me, i used to be a kof 2002 medium level player. i have better execution and understanding than most newbs on sf4 but i have decided to start from the basics and learn well. that means, not random jumping, learn to dp react etc. Right now im struggling because i dont now any sf4 begginer as i am (i dont have a ps4 yet) and most online players are rude and think that if they win at you a couple of times you are not worthy to keep playing with.

[@alphen9676]

Man fighting games are daunting. I have danced in Arkham. Made devils cry, and fed and the largest, most powerful souls. Fighting games are the last bastion for me to master, and it is the size of Mt. Everest.

[@FirstLast-mf4rr]

dark souls ain't as cruel as going 0-20 in your first online matches

[@adamplentl5588]

New to SF amd the FGC in general. This series is perfect and you are a beautiful man for making this. I love you.

[@montanaSD]

When in doubt, mash it out.

[@veewhy00]

"The best offense is a strong defense". Actually the saying is "the best defense is a good offense" :P

[@azzans]

The idea is you block and analyze your opponent and eventually they will become readable and then you counter. And counter-attacking is a form of defense.

[@azzans]

I did, my point is counter-attacking is a form of defense.

[@azzans]

I did, and my point is that throwing a punch or kick can be defensive or offensive depending on context.

[@azzans]

You don't seem to understand what I'm trying to say. I'm saying you're wrong by definition of the word defense. Blocking is not the only part of defense. That's why Karate is considered a defensive form of fighting, it utilizes counter attacking, a defensive technique. That's what I was arguing, that your definition of defense is wrong.

[@rainestar6781]

Boomer Countermeasure: "A countermeasure is a measure or action taken to counter or offset another one. As a general concept it implies precision, and is any technological or tactical solution or system (often for a military application) designed to prevent an undesirable outcome in the process. The first known use of the term is in 1923.[1]" - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countermeasure Defensive tactics are useless if you only defend, but countermeasures are a means of defending yourself that involves the direct intervention in an opponent's attack strategy. Countermeasures can involve things that would be normally thought of as offensive options, but are defined by the context that they are only used in defending oneself against attack. This makes countermeasures a defensive strategy using offensive options where the aim is to disrupt an opponent's attack rather than to create an offensive. Self-defense: "Self-defense (self-defence in some varieties of English) is a countermeasure that involves defending the health and well-being of oneself from harm.[1] The use of the right of self-defense as a legal justification for the use of force in times of danger is available in many jurisdictions, but the interpretation varies widely." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-defense By definition, using attacks while defending to ward off opponent's attempts to defeat you is a viable defensive strategy. In my opinion, it is one of the only viable strategies that are purely defensive.

[@UllomCentral]

Great videos, Gootecks. I've been playing casually for a while but never mastered all the basics. These videos give me a lot of great ideas on where to improve. Keep up the good work.

[@emanuelguerrero3634]

Thanks so much gootecks, I am really finding this guide to be helpful.

[@Intellllect]

Could you guys consider turning on option, which will allow other users to create and translate subtitles? Especially for this type of videos?

[@DracoMeister]

This was very helpful! Thanks gootecks!

[@pi2z806]

i ranked up into super bronze after watching this video :3

[@forrestpelky]

Great video. Thanks for making this series!

[@hansolzy]

I suck so bad lol. My online casual / ranked ratio is like 2-20.. So frustrated xD. People are so quick, I cannot even land a punch.

[@hamzadesidragonsarwar]

Take your time do proper pokes and make the right reads you'll be fine plus spend hours in training where you can set the cpu to attack you like in a proper match and keep fighting it in unlimited matches where you win majority of matches without losing a lot of health plus take a lot of time using the character you main

[@luisronaldofigo]

3-35 keep going bro

[@humanoideric]

As a complete SF scrub, thanks a lot~

[@rrsscc2006]

Lol !! I love " well..... I'm glad you asked"

[@wildreams]

U can tech throws on reaction?

[@gubell2]

I like the way you explain so detailed and this is real helpful for many beginers like me.thx a lot.

[@millefune]

Teching a throw "on reaction" is ridiculous. You have to know it's coming. For example, if you and another player were to stand next to each other and have one person throw at a random time they feel appropriate, the person who is supposed to tech the throw will almost never tech it... and that's with the person waiting and expecting it. It's either reads or coincidence (you both go for the throw at the same time) if you tech a throw during a match. They just don't give enough time from when the throw "hits/connects" to when you can respond with a throw input to tech it.

[@Maryokutaizero]

+Kuya Millefune Yeah, that reminds me of something Skisonic once said on a stream: 'If you crouch you can react to throws because your character stands up without your doing.' Yeah, of course...

[@assault410]

it is something you get used to. forward dash throw is very reactable. if they are close its something to think about. yes its fast but there are even tighter windows of executive in street fighter

[@tarisco614]

Yeah, except your example literally never happens in a game. They usually are fighting at range then dash to point blank, at which point you tech. If it's so impossible to anticipate throws, why is it even average players can get em almost every match?

[@PowderedToastMaaaan]

Yes and no. When you notice a player throws you every time on wakeup you can start to tech it.

[@magicjerryfresh3817]

Great video!! Would love some defensive stuff on cross up defense if your doing any more defense videos!

[@andresrivera6221]

Really good video. You sir are a great comunicator :)

[@christopherclack660]

These are extremely helpful.

[@Jeeves_0]

Damn! Give those buttons some mercy.

[@nanashiog]

Joseph Leatherbarrow most irritating part of this guide 🤦‍♂️

[@Pelaaja93]

Great tutorials here. Definitely worth for the new people to check out Though mind checking the audio next time? I hear 2 different ones, one probably coming from the mic, and other one coming 2 secs off sync with better quality.

[@gamershub7731]

Yo gootecks, add this video to the playlist.

[@CHAOSTHERAPHY]

Thanks for this great tutorial bro !!!

[@ghost2031]

thanks for the video, really helpful

[@darceboy]

Disappointed this video didn't have the wake up options, like quick getup, the little jump back etc.

[@darceboy]

+sergjmrz good point. Would love a video on this.

[@RagnaroekChaos]

+sergjmrz The point of this video is explaining that. He failed to do so.

[@ehcopperage]

+Darcy Webb He'll probably do one, if I was starting out and he covered wakeup as well as blocking and defense I might get confused.

[@hangemhigh113]

Crossups and Ryu's Parry need some love, man.

[@MrBoBoTom]

Really excellent guide, learning alot.

[@spectralspectra2282]

Why should I anti air? Wouldn't blocking be better? I then could combo him easier right?

[@TheDuckofLaw]

Great stuff!

[@truecruelty1]

only problem with ryu for myself is option after knockdown his normals are to short on range so its hard to confirm hits for combos or just simple pressure

[@Kapybaraaa]

awesome guide for beginners! when does part 3 come out?

[@Thomaticus]

I've played a lot of street fighter, but I can't seem to generate offense without jumping in. I really need to work on ground offense.

[@day3002]

tips for attacking after knockdown? crossups? is there a confirm way to always hit crossup? thank you.

[@JazzyBassy]

+day3002 Search up meaties and okizeme.

[@baines803]

a way to always hit Cross ups no they will be blocked unless its an unblockable or you're mike Ross

[@akalyx]

excellent tutorial ty

[@barbe00brune]

Why are you double tapping the buttons? Ive seen many peoples with arcade stick doing so. Is it to give you more chance to combo? Doesnt it fuck up the timing?

[@Trucy-Wright]

Great tutorial but you really should cover cross ups or even at least mention them. A lot of new players just don't understand why they take damage.

[@MaL01088]

Thanks for making these videos, just a few questions I would love to see covered. 1. I noticed you double tap your buttons a lot, is there a reason for this? 2. Why don't you use the L1 and L2 buttons that are default for all the punches or kicks? 3.Is there a resource that shows SFV target combos and chain combos? I can't seem to find any info in the game about which attacks will combo. Thanks for the help!

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

+MaL01088 1. Just to be sure. 2. Preference and those buttons are probably too far away from the rest. 3. The game isn't even out yet. Things could change, so I guess people haven't bothered making anything like that yet.

[@busterswordslash]

+MaL01088 He double taps his buttons because it makes it easier to do combos, He doesn't use L1 and L2 because he is accustomed to tapping all three punch or kick buttons, Target combos will be in the command list found in the settings menu while in training mode.

[@RisingJericho]

Echo game on point

[@Lildoc911]

please go over blocking crossups. (like guile, cammy, rashid, karin)

[@MunkeyyCANA]

If you think they're gonna cross up based on where they are above you when they jump, Stand Block in the opposite direction. If they jump from the left to the right side to cross up, hold the stick/controller to the left

[@frostblitz4813]

Thanks for this, I keep getting my ass handed to me online. I don't get how everyone is so good at this game lmao. Well, this is coming from a competitive Smash player

[@Phoquehead]

Yeah moving from smash to sfv is pretty tough. ive only won 10 matches out of the 60 ive done so far but im learning atleast

[@luraundo2293]

I punished a Ryu player jumping in at me while playing as Juri and I punished them nearly every time even though I jump alot too. I punished one jump with Juri's critical art as I expected him to jump.

[@Zestmistergamer]

damn, this is years of playing fighting games in a nutshell.

[@spiritdancer3781]

woo-hoo!!

[@daric_]

There's a really weird echo due to the mic being too close to the speakers and the game's sound being up too high. It's distracting.

[@ElSendai]

Anyone knows any intermediate tutorials vids like how to adjust SF4 chars to SF5 gameplay,strategies against all SFV cast or deep roster move analysis/properties.

[@JoseSprays]

[@kevex3929]

Tried to add you on blend, but idk how to on there lol

[@kingjuggalo2440]

Gootecks Love U Bro

[@evendrag6302]

I have a question regarding how I should break out od pressure. When I play online, people will alwayd just keep pressuring me, and i can never get "my turn". The alpha counter isnt really what im looking for, because im already putting it to use, so that isnt what im looking for. What can I do to increase my own pressure game, and how do I play against high pressure?

[@kenshi833]

Be as agressive as they're that's all I can say from my own personal experience

[@ScionOfTheSeventhDawn]

Trying to put it simple, if you block a full string you will either be able to punish them or they will back away for a brief moment. Either way the neutral will be reset and you can go to the offense before he does.... or try to put out the right move to beat his move if both go at the same time.

[@kenshi833]

+Nicolas Frasson what happens if he's jumping like crazy with jumping hk or lk to hurricane kick nonstop I'm having trouble trying to keep up with a Ken I block everything but the stun meter builds up really quick with him

[@ScionOfTheSeventhDawn]

kenshiwoe You should try to time right an anti air.... if he is pressuring you constantly with jumps in the corner an EX uppercut helps. You could also try to jump and hit him in the air before he does.... Anyway, putting the training dummy to do that pressure and practicing the options on him helps :P

[@kenshi833]

+Nicolas Frasson Thanks for the tips man appreciate it! I learned his attack pattern and do the anti air but for some reason he's just keeps jumping like crazy after the anti air or spams the hurricane kick also he grabs me mid combo but when I try to grab him it doesn't work. My combos for some reason he gets to over power them I'm using Nash btw

[@Hyde1415]

How do you defend against R. Mika's command grab if you're stuck in the corner?

[@mrcogneetoe]

+Hyde1415 If you know the command grab is coming, you can do a neutral jump to avoid the command grab and come down with a heavy normal into a combo. Just be sure to not neutral jump after every knockdown in the corner as it can get predictable. It is a pretty hard hitting option however.

[@aspreedacore]

+Hyde1415 for chars with command thros or if your throw defense is weak in gernral its best to try to not let them get in at all, can be hard to do on alx and r mika tho for many reasons, I hate throws command throws cant be teched but normal throws can but throws ar too fast to begin with...

[@AstroAdj]

Do people honestly throw tech on reaction? I always thought it was either a decent read or a case of both players just trying to throw at (almost) the same time. I ask as throw defence is a massive hole in my game and I'm not sure how to improve it!

[@samohhTx]

+VirageGaming if the person is right next to you when you are on the ground, its possible they are trying to throw you when you get back up. if youre playing someone who is also lower level they will probably try to do it. if they are better they might try to bait you to attempt to tech it by walking back and punishing your whiffed grab (a shimmy). so its a reaction to you being on top of them when theyre knocked down. and a read if you think theyre going to shimmy you.

[@AstroAdj]

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I get exactly what you mean; I end up guessing whether to try to tech or not when they're on top of me after a knockdown. Been eating a lot of throws lately as just blocking when I rise seems the least risky option, hopefully it's just something that comes with practice!

[@Vett0o]

Do more :D im new at the game! Love the game hate that i suck :i

[@Vett0o]

Also tried to add you on blend ;)

[@sanctuary8873]

Are you going to cover footsies or zoning?

[@apollokid84]

Are shoryukens block high or low? I feel I am still getting hit even with block low.

[@RavenousFists]

+Dallas Malone you can block a shoryu standing or crouching. you may not be holding back enough when crouching.

[@leonmiguez9225]

So how do you know when to block or when to block their grab?

[@alphen9676]

Really have to play alot to get to the point where you can make educated guesses based on previous actions taken by your opponent. Just practice in practice mode and try think of what your opponent may be planning.

[@Mehrk]

when he does the crush counter combo against a blocked shoryuken, why/how does he input two attack buttons?

[@BelphegorXVI]

He's double tapping the buttons, using two fingers to rapidly tap the same button, it gives you a higher chance of getting the timing right.

[@unitedstatessc]

+BelphegorXVI I thought this game didn't allow you to plink

[@BelphegorXVI]

+Ragh D It's not the same thing, plinking uses two buttons pressed in two separate frames, but the game only counts the one priority, so it is as if you were pressing the same button twice in 2/60th of a second, which normally would be humanly impossible. Double tapping is an way older technique, you use 2 fingers to quickly press one button, just look at his hand e hear the "tata" sound.

[@unitedstatessc]

I've play fighters for a long time but I've never been good. My mistake, I was confuse on the definition of plinking. I had plinking as double tap in my head.

[@aspreedacore]

+Ragh D its cool I did too but plinking is GONE yay, I play on pad so I cant double tap to bgin with,,,

[@nnamssuh7]

Why grey life for blocking normals is this MKX?

[@robertfranklin4838]

just a way of rewarding pressure

[@alphen9676]

Not to be "that guy", but from almost every standpoint. Whether it be video games or real life. It still hurts to get hit even when you are blocking.

[@ghosttemplar6989]

I'm still trying to learn this game after a year of playing it. Then I sometimes back step and get smashed in the face.

[@unique_mushroom]

[@TheDorianTube]

Fantastic video. Subscribed. Next: How to avoid hadouken spammers? lol. It's really, really annoying :S

[@BelphegorXVI]

First of all, they can only throw one at a time. Neutral jump(straight up) over it then try walking forward, rinse and repeat. When you get to a distance where a jump Hard would hit, if you know they're gonna throw another one, you jump as they do it and put your foot in their face. You have to teach then to not do it, good luck :-)

[@TheDorianTube]

BelphegorXVI ahahah thank you, I'll try =3 Edit; When trying to arrange their face with my foot, can I avoid to be shoryuken'd into oblivion? O.O

[@riptorusa]

+TheDorianTube your timing has to be precise enough to hit before they can DP. Otherwise try to read their DP, block it, and enjoy a free crush counter.

[@TheDorianTube]

Eyedol33 Perfect, thank you XD

[@BelphegorXVI]

TheDorianTube Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, what I meant by "If you know they are gonna do it" is that you basically have to jump as they start the animation, before their Fireball comes out. That will give you enough time before they recover and mash DP. And depending on the character you use, there are other ways to deal with it, for example Cammy's EX Spiral Arrow goes right through fireballs, her V-skill does the same. You have to explore your character, and also, look for some tutorials on him/her.

[@tarisco614]

Why medium DP over heavy? Longer start up?

[@tarisco614]

I mean as far as anti airs go.

[@assault410]

[@alphen9676]

There is great irony in this too. Everyone complains that there aren't enough fighters, yet 90% of my matches are against Ryu and Ken. It saddens me too, because Ken is a character I have adored since SF2. I look to main him when I am getting to a seriously competitive state. Until then I will use other characters and not contribute to the epidemic.

[@paijwa]

Nah the game is just fun so what character I play doesn't matter that much to be honest.

[@str8todamoney]

I read in a guide book that you should use him as a beginnger because he has a little bit of everything in him and that it's easier to learn other characters once you master him. I read that a long time ago though. I'm still trying to get good at this game with him. I'll switch to another character soon though because of the same reason. Too many Ryus.

Go into training mode, start by trying to learn extremely simple combos. Get the basic motions down, go into casual and set up a beginners room and start playing/ watching everyone in the room. Or go the hard way and play ranked and slam your head against the wall until it starts breaking.

[@fuzzythoughts8020]

As a noob, I have a little input to offer on why noobs jump so much. Its because noobs play on controller, which is problematic because the angles you have to press the thumbstick are very finicky, and so very, VERY often, when we're trying to walk or dash, we jump just because the angles that cause you to jump, dip so low that accidental input is honestly just too easy. Its so prevelant that in 3 different fighting franchises I've wished for the option to disable jumping altogether, because its just frustrating to be attempting a combo just for your hastened twiddling to cause a jump where you didn't want one. Honestly, my biggest problem with fighters is the lack of dedicated jumping buttons, or in SFV's case, the lack of a jump and a block button. (Not having the option to use a physical button to block is capital R retarded, not everyone can instinctively push the stick in the corresponding direction off of 1/10th a second warning for blocking, and if even slightly mistimed, the game thinks you're trying to move backwards. Noobs need block buttons.

[@rwentfordable]

How hard is it to press backwards? It's been like that for over 30 years because it msjes more sense. I've just got into fighting games and it took 30 seconds. The reason noons jump so much is they mash buttons. I look at their hands and they're not thinking what they're pressing.

[@fuzzythoughts8020]

@@rwentfordable no shit, they don't know what anything does. The hardest part of fighting games is learning all the combos, and worse than that, wtf timing the game expects out of you. That factor alone is why I repeatedly quit after a few days of playing any fighting game, it's not fun playing with people who just take it as a given that you know all that shit, and the game itself doesn't teach you shit because there's no noticable strategy to any of the AI in any of them, and thus, nothing specific you need to learn to beat them, they lend themselves to button mashing, while punishing you for doing it. Nor is there a training mode that literally shows you the timings you have to replicate to do the thing, I see the thing done by a bot, then I stand in a boring as fuck room trying to do the same thing for twenty minutes because I'm either too fast or not fast enough, with no clue which way the game wants me to go.

[@Robodog334]

Gootecks you cannot be serious as to compared SFV to actually fighting which you did, the way you win on SFV is map control (Spacing and Footsies), with crazy amounts of fantasy type shit. Fighting is nothing to do with spacing. Baka.

[@Null834]

what if you use a PS4 controller? Lmao

[@JRedux]

the defense system sucks in this game
