[@yamsandjams248]

That audio sync with the hand cam seems absolutely spot on. Good shit!

[@JustMeIon]

This was definitely your most useful video. I always wanted to learn to link fireballs with supers. Oh and of course helping with the uppercut miss inputs.

[@superboy1986X]

That chun li costume is on point

[@dikaiosune]

Thanks for the tutorials like this..it helps me a lot..I'm a beginner in fighting games and I enjoy playing SFV..the timing becomes easier when I watching your videos..keep making tutorials please :)

[@astarothgr]

Great vids as always! Small suggestion: for videos like these where you bust out the pad, have the pad ready to go for player 2. In doing so, you just pick up the pad and are able to demonstrate the input in the game. That's about it!

[@Ratchet25]

Like and share this stuff guys so we can spread it to more people. Vesper's videos are gold.

[@waylin778]

Nice. Good job. I have actually had this problem without even realizing it. Just thought I sucked with the stick and blame it on my poor fightstick skills. Charge tricks and knowing when to double tap/plink come to mind. Also, footsie strategies into these combos you keep bringing up.

[@UltimaBlank]

when your showing the input "fast" with the walk forward, down back into fireball motion, you hit the punch on down forward, of course you'll get an uppercut.

[@GatsuRage]

gotta work on that muscle memory people! great vid like always! thanks!

[@ReyTheGreat809]

Vesper, I think you should bring this how to series back. Incorporate a little of slow motion and your set.

[@Jake-ls2ou]

Thanks so much! Brand new to sf5

[@InfinityVenom]

Man I hate that shit, it has costed me lots of matches, whenever I dash with Necalli when my opponent wakes up I wanna do Calli's overhead and I get his DP

[@zhaf]

Hey Vesper. Can you make a tutorial on how to maintain charge while being offensive? I have never managed to be good with charge characters in any street fighter game.

[@riki9573]

when you hit a button just hold down back :P

[@Jason-ip6wq]

Hold back as soon as you hit an attack. and when you couch do down back instead of just down

[@JenovaDoll]

I would like to see a video about what the best way is to practice combo's and muscle memory, especially for new fight stick users. I practice for hours but I don't see any improvements in my execution. Maybe I'm learning the wrong way

[@epiczbrusherzero4032]

This 100%. New to sticks, as well.

[@momentie4438]

Just keep at it bro it takes awhile to get use to stick especially if u been a pad player for so long

[@ffatless67]

I just ordered my first arcade stick ever and am really hyped, because I always wanted one but its hard to get one where I live. Can you do a quick tutorial on where and how to put your hand/fingers on the stick/buttons. When you show off stuff the motions are often too quick to realize what is happening if you dont know anything about it.

[@rqn5484]

For c. MK > Hadoken, I usually go for diagonal back c. MK then roll into a quarter circle forward and it combos. It's definitely all just muscle memory tho!

[@VinceOfAllTrades]

One thing I've found really annoying is that charge inputs seem to take priority above other things. Two examples with Necalli that get me killed: - try to do far V-skill while holding charge. I'll be 3/4 screen and see Nash throw a Fierce boom, try to punish with V-skill, but get MP dash punch instead. - try to take a microstep (forward) grab out of block stun, get jab dash punch instead. One thing I'm actually impressed with is the lack of auto-correct on charge moves, I was worried that I would get jab dash punch on Nash/Dhalsim teleports instead of the proper jab punish.

[@jonniecallan86]

hey man, love your videos and really appreciate all of your tutorials. I'm currently trying to pick up Alex but I'm used to playing Sim so the transition is really difficult. I was wondering if you had or are planning on making any videos on how to play certain characters, not combo videos but info on their general play style, like how to get in. what to do while pressured, how to set up a command grab etc. thanks in advance.

[@meatball24]

Excellent video as always Vesper! Could you make a video explaining Chun-Li's st.mp, cr.mk, mk SBK combo? I and others would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

[@LukeHwarang]

Thanks, Vesper =)

[@DVLtrigger]

thinking about any match up videos? I really need a "how to fight vega"

[@QuantaKill]

Vesper, can u make a video of how to learn to STOP DOING SPAMMY INPUT ... That'a a severe thing that I'm suffering from ... I.e. when I need to follow up a JUMP -> HP -> with MP or HP or whatever ... I hit the 2nd button 2 to 4 times, because that way it will connect for sure. The problem is that this messes up your timing on the special that you are about to do after and it totally backfires!

[@3AAAs]

need to learn to use the fightstick. i never seem to get it right

[@primetyrant2891]

Hey Vesper. Can you do video on Gievs shortcuts? As keyboard player, I am really hindered by the fact that I cant rebind my keys in line, so I'll need all the shortcuts I can get. Man Zangiev looks awesome in SFV, and fact that I cant do even SPD reliably infuriates me to no end D:

[@Lubie225]

how did you set the memory button in training mode? i dont kno how to get it to work

[@Blackdragon79]

What about bison inferno into ultimate psycho Crusher?

[@stickymcjohnsonjr2962]

you're the best

[@zetadroid]

Every time that you double tapped the hadoken, the first P input was on the diagonal, but I guess that both the negative edge and (of course) the second input were correctly on or after the forward directional input. My problem in combos involving a confirm followed by a cancel is that (especially when agitated and online) I tend to press the input of the cancelled special before the directional input is complete. I tested that I can fix it 100% of the times by double tapping (or even simply tapping twice, literally), but I'm not sure it is a good idea to get this imprinted in my muscle memory. Any tip? Should I go on with the fix, and eventually clean up my input later?

[@SudeepTuladhar]

What do people normally prefer while playing using ps4 controller: D-Pad or Analog stick??? And why? I play using joystick but sometimes I feel like I input lots of extra inputs which messes the combos.

[@real765rp8]

D-pad since it gives you direct feedback (you sense the directional buttons). the analogue sticks on Controllers are better for games where you need sth between no button press and full button press (racing games, shooters etc.). Thing is if youre not very careful theyll spin endlessly causing lots of unintentional jumps. Arcade sticks on the other hand have gates from which you get Feedback. You need the feedback because you have to focus on your opponent in a match and not on your inputs.

[@SudeepTuladhar]

+Real765rp thanks... I did try playing with dpad today and it was surprisingly easier than i thought and hitting combos were easier.. I found it a bit difficult to hit DP in the right side of the d-pad but i guess i need more practice for it... But damn it hurts thumb.. :P

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

any recommendations for keyboard users? i have the same problem but in ggst, but even if i do a half circle it's not enough.

[@bornunique2900]

V, I know this is a tutorial about how to do Fireballs, but did you hear that Capcom did a hard reset on World Combo's LP?

[@metinljapo69]

Wouldn't be easier to change the execution of dp with kick instead of punch. Both ken and ryu don't have dp motion moves with kick.

[@DoctaJoe25]

Can you do a vid on Chun-Li's instant Air Legs? Thanks! And to add to at, if possible, the combo from instant air 2.mk to air legs.

[@MrWestSky]

+DoctaJoe25 Yes please!!!

[@mokochie8456]

+DoctaJoe25 yesssss

[@ghost2031]

Unfortunately cancelling into super with Ken i have to press qcf for fireball and then 2 times qcf for the fireball so 3 times qcforward. Is that normal?

[@Nicksenseii]

Hey vesper. Can you show an easy way to do low attacks into shoryuken? For example. Crch fierce into shoryuken is a difficult motion for me. Always get a hado

[@ffatless67]

+Nick Thandabouth thats literally the video he posted before this one.

[@roachdogjrjr]

This might sound strange, but could you do a video on facing left/facing right while doing dragon punches? Ken was my main but I'm feeling pressured to change to someone like Bison who has no DP motions. While facing right, I just cannot do dragon punches accurately. Probably about 30% chance on fight stick and 60% chance on controller. And supers is like 95% facing left, 70% facing right. It's always been this way for me. I'm much more comfortable being on the right. Any tips?

[@mikejonesnoreally]

The answer for 100% reliability is kind of the inverse of *this* video. Tap forward (relative to your facing, of course.) then throw a fireball in the same direction. So in your case, where you prefer facing right it would be tap left, down, down forward, left + Shoryuken strength. Once you've built some muscle memory you can drop the last part of the input, but this was a good "middle step" for me. Once you've done that you'll understand why the techniques Vesper discusses in this video are necessary in some cases. :)

[@suryannair3670]

Vesper, I could really use some help with autocorrect/crosscut uppercuts. I use necalli btw so i dont know if that makes much difference (i.e. 7f dp vs.3f dp)

[@araujoas]

The square gate doens't help when i try do the super cancel with my character at left.

[@GatsuRage]

+Anderson try do it super slow first, and you can try use the tip of your fingers for make the motion pushing ford with your thumb. Whatever the method you use, at the end of the day it is just practice so have patience and keep on training!

[@ironmaiden1492]

I don't have this problem, I'm having trouble doing dragon punches

[@pescharliearchive]

Hey man, any tips for beating Karin using Ken? I know she's more or less top tier, but I struggle so much

[@odachi9757]

I have problems canceling into vtrigger for example wirh ryu his standing mp,st. mp, st. hk xx into vtrigger, dp xx super art. Sometimes it cancels into vtrigger sometimes it doesn't. please help

[@PSMii]

+Oda Chi It should work every time unless your timing is off or you're not hitting HK and HP at the same time. I would recommend going into training mode and putting on inputs so you can see if its your button pressing. If its not that, try adjusting your timing until you find what works. Also, if it is your button pressing, maybe changing one of the left shoulder buttons to V-Trigger would be best if you want consistency, but you'll lose either all 3 punches or all 3 kicks. Hope that helps.

[@bernardocanizares8266]

Is there a way to input Zangief's super while standing without having to do crouching medium punch or headbutt?

[@real765rp8]

I played other characters in other games with 2x360 motions and heres what i came up with. What you have to do is input the first 360 while unable to jump and then, while you might be able to jump, input another 360 with a button quickly . I dont think there is a way around this. You can input the first 360 during a jump, right after certain attacks, during a forward or backward dash, or right after blocking hard attacks with lots of hitstun. On rare occasion you may even input the first circle while on the ground if you want to wake up grab super. With Zangief specifically you could also input the first 360 during v-skill i guess.

[@TheVaun65]

Hey Vespa would that work for Bison's special but with two inputs of HP?

[@Omegav3rse]

Hey ves Whats your button layout on stick?

[@1andonlyMiro]

How about a tutorial on beating random ass scrubs and scrubs that only turtle by using hados and shoryukens only?

[@digitalsublime]

VesperArcade what's your opinion on oversized actuator and stiffer spring on a jlf? Do you think that movements like dash are faster easier with the mod?

[@VesperArcade]

+Inspire I used a korean crown for a bit when doing some trials and while it feels better doing dashes it was harder for me to personally do double qcf motions. Might be better for something like Tekken but this is just my personal experience.

[@digitalsublime]

That mekes sense, what about the oversized actuator, have you tested that mod?

[@VesperArcade]

+Inspire No I haven't. It would probly be too sensitive for me since I played in the arcade days and used to doing extreme inputs all the time. It's an easy cheap mod so maybe give it a try and let me know how it goes for you =).

[@NicholasTSilveira]

I use the dualshock controller to play SFV and I noticed you are using the D-pad when you were showing the motions, but I use the analog stick. Analog is fine right?

[@KirbyOnCronic]

+Nick Silveira You are making things way harder than they should be using the analog. Much larger room for error vs pad. Obviously use what you like, but you should really give pad a serious look 1st.

[@NicholasTSilveira]

+Tainted Knives Thanks for the advice!! :) I'm looking into getting a pad now

[@KirbyOnCronic]

***** When I say Pad, I meant the dualshock 4 d-pad. It works best for me. If that's not your thing, there's the Hori Fighting Commander 4, which the gamestop website sells for 30 bucks. It was a little too bulky for me, though I have really small hands.

[@TheRegalRolston]

I don't think controller is any faster than fight stick, but hitbox on the other hand...

[@GrandMaMaYT]

super is 1 qc or 2 qc

[@luckyspider812]

2

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

Using charge characters more effectively..

[@kylel8642]

dont work on no keyboard

[@GemmaBee14]

I'll never understand how people play on a controller with the D-Pad and not the joystick...

[@JJames666male]

BIPPITY BAP BOOP BOP It's so much more precise for fighting games. The game has 8 inputs and the dpad does too.

[@GatsuRage]

+BIPPITY BAP BOOP BOP and yet is totally reliable, which is why you have people like snake eyes or smug, real pro players using pad instead of a stick.

[@JJames666male]

GutsRage I could be wrong, but I think he refers to d-pad versus analog stick on the pad. By the way, Smug uses the analog stick if I recall correctly, and i don't understand how that's possibile D:

[@real765rp8]

The d-pad has more Feedback the analogue stick is just way to... squishy for me... like a hadouken on d-pad is exactly what it is. Down, down-forward, forward. On Analogue stick it feels more like 90-degree spin and my problem is that most of the times i get unintentional jumps by doing 100 degree spins. Theres simply more Feedback on the d-pad and its not ... i dunnow... a racing game where you need sth between no press and full press (where the analogue stick shines)

[@GemmaBee14]

+Real765rp I used to jump all the time trying to do inputs, but I practiced and don't anymore.

[@ShinAkuma]

8 years late to do this tutorial.

[@glenvillebushell5353]

Who want to fo that u wanna floor them

[@jaskaranrait7674]

Use ps4 to do this

[@r011ing_thunder6]

Takes you seven minutes to explain how to do the motion for fireball when walking forward. Can someone tell me when he explains it please

[@nodthenbow]

"Even Daigo screws up and does uppercut" Confirmed Daigo hater

[@chaosdoc]

7 minutes and 23 seconds for hadouken motions? Dude, I love you but edit that shit down! Ain't nobody got time for that!
