The Art of Rushdown Characters

[@michelebenedetti7507]

We call it the "Art of the Unga Bunga" and for grapplers, it's the "Art of big hug" while for zoners it's the "Art of social distancing"

[@SupermanSajam]

Excellent $100 video there gamer

[@finrei]

LMAO

[@FISHALADISH]

SAJAM??

[@Dan-iv4zs]

Finally, someone who's willing to say what needs to be said in this community

[@crusadertf2807]

3:33 that graphic was too well made to have been made by a guy with only 20K subs. DAYUM!!

[@crusadertf2807]

What I’m trying to say is that your video was great. Allow me to make that number next to your face go up a little higher.

[@TouhniSSBM]

This is definitely my favorite channel now. Playing both melee and 2D fighting games, watching you seamlessly transition between the two is everything I could ever want

[@finrei]

❤️ thank you :)

[@Kinji_Hakari]

I like to describe rushdown characters as fathers who are coming after their sons after they see their bad grades

[@tree2992]

I love this kind of cross-game archetype analysis! I'm a Melee and Guilty Gear guy, so I love seeing connections drawn between them. The editing and humor was good, but a bit much. I think you could space out the video editing jokes and put more meat in-between. Potential topics that could have fleshed out more: -- why does rushdown have the "ape" stereotype? What is it about rushdown play that brings out the monkey inside of us? -- What types of games or engines does rushdown succeed in? -- What matchups does rushdown tend to have vs different archetypes? vs. zoners, grapplers, etc. -- What makes rushdown fun to play?

[@finrei]

A man after my own heart, I appreciate the feedback and will take it into account for my next vid ❤️

[@Ravishna]

5:01 ME!! love the editing and narrational timing of this video heaps Fin, nice work

[@Zack-ds9rs]

Me when I rushdown my opponent in a Walmart parking lot while everyone looks in terror:

[@natekreimer7221]

This is like AsumSaus level quality, incredible stuff

[@danielcapodanno1116]

Absolutely killer video. Love the combo of melee and 2d fighters

[@finrei]

[@elmaxoTF2]

HELL YEAH!!! MORE MONKEY FINREI!!!

[@jackmafo832]

Remember, always know when to unga and bunga, if you bunga when you should've unga. You're gonna have a bad time.

[@YuQissu]

I havent enjoyed a video like this in a long time.....the editing 😔👌

[@finrei]

glad you enjoyed it!

[@marcusunchained]

Rush down characters: fuck neutral it’s my turn all the time 😂

[@artyxp]

Your videos are insane, so much information in such short videos, easy to understand too :D

[@finrei]

Glad you like them! I hope ur keen for the next one Im working on rn :)

[@tableprinterdoor]

5:22 oh yeah I’ll summarise this as someone with a bit of experience with tekken There are very similar delayable strings in tekken and a major thing you do is instead of going for strike/throw mixups you go for low mid mixups. A very simple example of an aggressive rushdown character is kazuya in tekken. Your aim is to get a knockdown (E.g with flash punch) and then go for your wavedash pressure into mixup (hellsweep or ff3) which leads into your oki and pressure. So basically once you’re in an advantageous position E.g through a plus frame move or heat engager (in t8) you need to mix up by either getting your opponent to duck and take the mid which leads into launcher and combo or take the low to get knocked down again and have the cycle repeat.

[@Lanman106]

Fantastic video man! Great editing, jokes, and very informative for people who are just getting into fighting games.

[@finrei]

❤️

[@loudagain3223]

me omw to rushdown the like button 🏃‍♂

[@ShikiRyougi05]

Just discovered this channel and HOLY SHIT! Looking forward to every new vid now!

[@finrei]

[@SuperLemonfish]

fox has insanely good neutral in melee. his normals are sort of short range, but high priority and on an insanely fast character. so vs anyone but marth, hes grooving

[@oviewill]

sick video dude cant wait to see more

[@-goodwin]

Your style is amazing. Great job !

[@lordronn472]

Best archetype ever: no command grab, no projectiles, no BS! Pure fighting

[@kozaakza3705]

I ain’t gonna sugar coat it Wild throw

[@VinceMouse]

I once played Naoto's Arcade Mode in BBCF. I did that stupid, goofy flying kick by accident against the Hakumen AI. He Astral Countered it. I never played Naoto again.

[@lotalentueux]

Wow this video was really great! I look forward to your next video

[@finrei]

Thank you!

[@rngreallynotgood6655]

Great video, looking forward to more

[@bongopod]

very good video, idk anything about fighting games but i enjoyed til the very end B)

[@muskop42]

wow this is really good, im purely a smash player so im biased to wanting you to talk more melee but its also really interesting to the the fgc parallels i dont think ive ever seen like this almost equal mix of fgc and melee its usually primarily one or the other

[@finrei]

Hey lucky for you I play melee the most! Will def be talking about both equally rn tho

[@superfiver]

found a youtube short that lead me to check out your full vids. Good editing

[@rainbowcalx7965]

[@theyeetstreet8818]

[@trendrekt8363]

[@SimonWesleyCh.]

There's a reason why I love playing Arcueid in Melty Blood and it is mainly because I can turn my brain off while playing her, lol

[@alxetiger4470]

[@hornetz7399]

Rushdown without DP is suicidal option.

[@Magiwielek]

[@-hduiawhdiuhawu]

Godlike content.

[@finrei]

Thanks!

[@JNuts24]

Pog vidrei

[@tabkg5802]

The reason why not everyone plays rushdowns is that they don't believe in monke and dp as an optimal punish/neutral tool/defensive tool/combo filler

[@finrei]

Smh they missing out

[@cross6081]

imma gonna win

[@E_van714]

Good job man

[@user-ek5ci5nh4w]

[@finrei]

I have! It's really fun

[@rimzaaah5892]

Every FGC character is a rushdown of you play them as such

[@Maelthorn1337]

... Do you happen to like Akihiko Sanada from Persona 4 Arena? Also I stumbled on your fighting game notation short (like many many others) and was wondering if this is your first channel. If it is, have you done video editing for some other sort of work or hobby? I've probably got like... I dunno, 100 hours in Premiere and my videos (diff channel) still look like a middle schooler made'um. :p

[@Demondzeta]

more, maybe you could go deeper into blocstrings use and how to aply pressure by winning in neutral??or goinf from neutral to rushdown

[@finrei]

Will consider doing that for future vids

[@LousyLousy]

Find you on tiktok, keep it up you’ll be big❤

[@finrei]

[@dauxgaming577]
