This guy is GODLIKE with the Ninjas!! SICK Hanzo and Galford matches

Today we fought a guy with a pretty insane win rate, and a really high number of matches played! He seems to specialize in the Ninja characters (Hanzo and Galford), and he really gave us a run for our money! Enjoy the matches guys.

I agree, let yoshimitsu in every fighting game. That way I never have to learn a new character

[@DDmegadoodoo]

Some of the best matches I've seen. Hanzo and Jubei (along with Earthquake and Ukyo) are my fave characters so always cool to watch good players with em.

[@CrimzonWolf777]

Didn't realize you were fighting SilverScarfFox. He's a really good player

[@svenmeling6053]

Using the weapon flipping tech only drains your bar if you hit with it. That's how it is in every Samurai Shodown game. Not only in rage mode. Jubei can actually apply some decent chip with his by using it several times. Punishable on whiff if the opponent is fast though. In SS5 special, and possibly SS4, Galford had some nasty crossup okizeme with the vertical poppy and the other side teleport slice. Once the opponent expects it, switch teleport sides or do something else, such as plasma brade.

Dogs doing backflips is some next level shit.

[@BeeMusic2024]

Tbh i know I wouldn't play this game (though it looks promising). I think I speak for everyone when I say the reason I continue to watch your great content isn't just the content itself, but seeing who you are as a person. You seem to be a good sport. Very entertaining. But overall, you care about others and you make it seem fun to play against you.

[@dougfax]

I swear everytime jmcrofts and doto says they have a plan, I aways expect it to succeed

[@BeeMusic2024]

As long as the plan doesn't involve a train

[@tunzv7282]

Dude, it was entertaining watching your DBFZ plays but this is bananas. Even you get more excited, I guess it has to do with the high reward damage of the game

[@alseenei8072]

I’m coming from JMCrofts from DBFZ Where are all the whiffs? The drops? I’m not used to watching this guy play like an EVO contender.. Keep it up, my dude. You’re the reason why I got into fighting games. Seeing your skill is pretty inspiring.

[@FractalPrism.]

crossup aegis reflector is blockable, you just block (or parry) the opposite direction; its the timing that's tricky. the only true unavoidable damage from aegis is if they parry and you throw them during their parry.

[@Phasma_Tacitus]

In SamSho V Sp it was easier to see that Rage was different for each character. If you played Yunfei you would notice that his Rage just never fills up, or at least it seems like that, but when it's full it takes 60 seconds to end. This changed some tactics for each character, like, Yunfei was great for filling the blue health bar with medidation, as he loaded a lot of Rage and thus his Issen was easier to pull off and did more damage, whereas Enja's Rage fills up so fast you could enter Rage in one or two strikes, but it was gone real quickly too, so he needed better timing and got a harder time filling up his blue life with meditation. Also, this mechanic mirrored the character's personality, with Yunfei being that very old and wise master who just was so in control he never really got into Rage, while Enja is that fire demon who's entire existence is basically based in being enraged. Also, another cool thing about being in Rage is that every character becomes red, except for Basara, that doesn't get red because he's a spirit.

[@poketdoom]

Guy drops you when you’re bursted What a madlad

[@midu6011]

yeah jubei Universal overhead is too good, he doesn't advance forward like every other overhead that make the opponent less desirely to punish. Also great job on landing jubei signature counter move in an online match dude, I watched tournament almost every time there a new one and every time I saw Jubei player landed a counter hit I always get hyped since I know how hard it is to pull those out. Hanzo could get a lot of cheeky shadow tele low hit in those match

[@Stankem]

Yo jmcroft, im not sure if you know but its probably a good idea to not combo into dp after a throw because your opponent can rage burst after the 2nd hit, then punish your dp on hit with super

[@jmcrofts]

I try to avoid doing the DP combo whenever the opponent is below 40% hp or so, since that scales up the damage of Issen. See 19:41

[@Stankem]

@@jmcrofts very smart way to go about it, i see multiple high level players get hit by this, kind of hard to tell on surface level who knows and who doesn't

[@Divine_Grass]

ZeroLifePlus as a jubei I can tell you that most of us probably know better but don’t care sometimes because our opponent might not know or might want to save their burst anyway

[@GANGYISREAL]

I think if you do light dp it cannot be rage canceled but I could be wrong.

[@raedien]

These were awesome matches dude. Thanks for sharing.

[@israeloliveira2083]

01:29 Kawarimi 🤩🤩🤩

[@Dukkha-Bhavana]

Is that still possible after all the patches? I can do it after just the medium hit, but not when Jubei combos to special. Seems like 'Log' input needs to be a few frames later now, when Hanzo's hand touches ground, instead of on impact.

[@gazraker4231]

In samurai shodown 4, I played Hanzo like a racecar

[@anythingeverything2659]

You need to play some of the old school hanzos.. He doesnt need his weapon. But this SS is also slower paced.

[@YouGuessIGuess]

First Samurai Shodown character I ever played. Fast grapplers with projectiles have all the fun. :)

[@holysinnerxxx]

just started watching this and that log thing was insane. Straight up Naruto ya!

[@RandoBox]

9:15 First time I seen you use counter. Good stuff.

[@tigergray1100]

Gal ford and hanzo are like ryu and ken

[@jeromyperez5532]

This is super sick.

[@bootsthegod9084]

I didn't watch all of the matches, but the few I did you didn't use jubeis counter. Why not punish his jumping attacks with that? That move can be shred fools

[@egebamyasi2929]

Watch 9:12

[@GANGYISREAL]

It can be difficult to land online and plus it's really easy to bait. it's super risky.

[@DualThiessen]

Awesome matches and good info.

[@deseanlothian]

basically what im saying is yoshimitsu for smash, i like the way u think

What Stick are you using friend?

[@itraynell]

Qanba Obsidian

[@Shadowserpant00]

i would argue you should not ONLY think of characters as archetypes. Archetypes are valuable for understanding to a certain level

[@IYPITWL]

This game has too many mechanics for archetypes to apply like they would in SF5 or Tekken. DBFz is similar to this game in that there are many mechanics at play which reduce the usefulness of archetypes.

[@Shadowserpant00]

@@IYPITWL you are just reducing characters to being single archetypes. archetypes are just conceptual categories for information which aid in understanding, not strict labels

[@Shadowserpant00]

@Viola Rinusa I mean... you are purposely generalizing and trying to fit this character into a strict box that you call an archetype. which I'm not suggesting you do at all..

[@9kay]

yeah I was about to post about rage duration, cause I know Nakoruru is only 8 seconds :(

[@gmanynwa5190]

[@koroshiya978]

Damn that dude lost 400 mmr points while you gained 300 and if he won he only got 30 while you just lose 30. Is this normal for fighting games?

[@NFI05]

Based on who has a better win average and point total. It expected the other guy to win

[@Cptbravo221]

Those at the higher levels have the most to lose in a single match

[@raypingminors5379]

Saw this on stresm

[@LUX711]

I just watched some CEO 2019 Samsho play, and Jubei got his ass handed to him time and time again. Just saying man, I didn’t see many innate advantages that he has over other characters.

[@Dasmesee]

That was not Jubei fault that's the player. There are better Jubei players .judge the player not the character .

[@Dasmesee]

Also there is a huge difference in playing a Jubei player that plays when the game first came out compared to a month later when he knows everything about the character and the game mechanics don't be so close-minded in your approach on a character it's strictly a player skill thing

[@IYPITWL]

This game has years worth of growth yet.

It's footsies oriented

[@deathbringer9893]

never heard of this game can u not combo in this game

[@itraynell]

Combos are extremely limited and instead exchange them for high damage normal & special attacks. The game values fundamentals such as neutral, footsies, whiff punishes, etc. more than combos.
