Training like Daigo

Daigo is known to be the hardest worker in the FGC. I take on his training regimen to see how far I can push myself.

[@Amutsal]

That's true immortality right there. No matter how many Daigos rise and fall there will always be more Daigos out there inspired to carry on the legacy.

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

Studying Daigo is like studying Musashi

[@Jeffxblack]

Livin Like Larry

[@krasmazov009]

I like that this channel/stream is all about beating Shine now.

[@Brian_F]

I have vendettas

[@hauntedtreehouse423]

Dude when you said no assumptions I was like “that’s the exact same shit I try to do practicing hit confirms”

[@JCintheBCC]

No assumptions, but is postulating possibilities allowed?

[@teddygaj991]

This very same thought came to me 2 days ago lol

[@RisingJericho]

Daigo looks like he hasn't slept in 12 years

[@KTSamurai1]

this is a great, structured approach that experienced players could devise for one another (and new players). and it's stuff like this that makes me want improved training mode features that would allow an experience player devise these drills for less experiences ones imagine being able to download this drill straight from daigo, with training mode automatically setting up the recordings, randomizing them, hiding which one is being used, and just being able to start without moving through the menu. now imagine having a whole list of drills you can just select and do, kinda like the missions in Guilty Gear it would be so great, and would be an amazing tool to teach both experienced players looking for the next challenge and the newest of the new players

[@Peachy232]

I know this is an ancient comment, but GG strive basically has this.

[@quandang9734]

Core a gaming's video explains that if something is reflexive, you don't have to spend as much mental energy on the task, so training yourself to instinctively punish these neutral options could theoretically help your brain focus on other things like looking for your/the opponent's habits. I think daigo's way of training helps with this a lot.

[@no_nameyouknow]

This is why musicians practice scales and such. It's not that you ever want to play a scale during a song, but you don't want to have to think about how to play notes from a scale while playing, it should be so automatic that you are just playing what you want, within that scale. And outside of it when appropriate. Hard to explain, but the idea is the same as you are talking about. Making things automatic rather than intentional so that your intentions can be used on more important things.

[@mansmo9513]

@@no_nameyouknow That's what I experienced when I used to practice singing :), as a beginner I would use a song as a reference to remember certain scales, but my friend told me I must "install" the scales in my brain instead of taking time remembering them.

[@BongWatah]

This is huge for long play sessions. Tourneys or long sets can get mentally draining

[@SoysauceML]

@@no_nameyouknow Yes, though feel like chords and arpeggios are a bigger help, especially when it comes to popular music, music don't to follow scale fingerings much, though they help with adjusting to different keys and general dexterity. But yeah, technique is very important.

[@periclescomoeddie5215]

Core-A just deserves so much more.

[@RuryGon]

I think this is the beginning of Brian's descent into madness

[@Brian_F]

I have gone off the deep end YEARS ago for street fighter

[@RhouanAltier]

Yeah i was kind of blown away when daigo first started this. This was his warm up for like the first 30 minutes of every stream for a while. Seeing him slowly get better at it was inspiring to me.

[@cyber8642]

Now this is a plot twist

[@SoraTrace]

Just commenting for channel support Have a nice day

[@SPACECOWBOY705]

Yeah... Me too

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

This is where the real time commitment, difficulty and passion in fighting games comes through. This is why Daigo making those clutch plays in a match is so insane and so inspiring. This is why we love fighting games.

[@gingerbreadmann5699]

Fighting games, the place where you train for hours to master something that'll maybe work in an actual match

[@stolensentience]

More like years

[@KAMAKAZE_ZC]

But when it does work it's that much more satisfying.

[@ScaredEz]

But it’s like one of the satisfying feelings ever, when it does

[@kainesemas2669]

As a tekken player, it honestly made me feel better that you struggled with this. I’ve been practicing reacting to heihachi db2 for a few days and always do “assumption blocks” on it. Videos inspired me to keep at it.

[@TheHabibOfMankind]

That’s a hard low to react to man. If u can successfully react to that then u completely shut down heihachi’s low pokes

[@IrritatedIndex]

Db2 is especially fucked up because Heihachi is essentially *telling* me he’s doing it and I still get hit.

[@ean-tz8el]

after watching Brians videos I can fortunately say I have moved down 3 ranks 🤩

[@mokkorista]

Can't beat the LTG's rage quit reaction tho

he is a god for a reason

[@renanmoura8595]

Maaaan, this thumb is S tier.

[@bogartskim]

Brian upload?? Pog

[@takeyoshiful]

I remember when Daigo was practicing this few months ago other players was questioning it.

[@Dr3am9553]

13:40 everyone always forgets to add input lag lol So in reality you only have 6+3+16=25 25-8 = 17 17-4.41 (average input lag) = 12.6f to react. That's 210ms and decently above average That's why Daigo started playing on PC in the first place. So he could practice reaction like this consistently.

[@trashcanonabench7199]

This is a really cool style of video, love when the vids are more chill!

[@tyler-xo3rb]

i respect you a lot, brian

[@semja]

FGC Translated is a great channel

[@TheForhekset]

I think we've all done drills in training mode. But I think the difference is that if you want to be really good you have to practice every day. Like practicing every few months when you feel like like it, isn't going to get you there. This really is a measure of discipline. You have to be obsessed to get really great at something.

[@myloemike]

Seeing you go through this type of training was really cool. It seems a little frustrating, but all practice can be frustrating when you aren't getting it right! I like how you teach.

[@pupilmusic3197]

that thumbnail is shockingly similar to my real life

[@CamMcCoy87]

Bring back the push up mechanic

[@sacred0_029]

I swear the hardest part with practicing stuff like this in the lab is that you want to make assumptions and try to guess which option it’s gonna be before they come out. I’m glad to see that i’m not the only one that goes through this all the time. FeelsGoodMan

[@Roapont]

Great video, loved seeing the struggle as well as the testing to figure out the correct options.

[@brandonsellers1076]

Maybe it's the "back seat driver' mentality, but I feel like Neo and seeing what you should do. You said it, "no assumptions" I'm adding, "just reads". Imma try this training tonight.

[@cattyg9495]

I realize this is a video that is for entertainment purposes as much as it is informative, but I think you're a little hard on yourself here. This is definitely something where you're not going to see your progress in the first session. Like practicing a difficult section in a piece of music(though music doesn't change randomly to throw you off). I think the moments where you started to understand what you could reasonably react to and train for were the real meat and potatoes of the video here. Good stuff.

[@Arcantheus]

Postin for numbers, good stuff man

[@mc_zittrer8793]

Gettin' that Miagi-san moment at the end. I remember a while back Smug made a video about duffing Ibuki's v-skill tech to Jupiter and back with Taps, looks like you stumbled onto the same secret. Keep at it Brian, that Balrog is almost clean enough for an Only Fans.

[@WinnipegKnightlyArts]

This is the exact format I use to teach students fencing. We call it differentiation training. Training yourself not to preempt the opponent is super difficult.

[@periclescomoeddie5215]

You can't use characters you don't have in training mode, come on Capcom.

I had a feeling that math was going to happen in a Brian F video sooner or later.

[@maga451]

Few days later: eating like Daigo, living like Daigo..

[@decksteroussnail]

I like a lot of the chat comments saying how boring this is. Yes.... training is very boring but very rewarding as well.

[@DKUmaro]

I know you can do it, Brian. Just start with the individual punishes first. Apply a time, when you stop practicing (30min or up to an 1h) or else it might feel to much at first. Go with 10 or 15 tries and slowly increase each time you practice and take breaks. It's progressive overload, right. It's what I once heard from one of your vids. Don't forget to do the practice session as early as you can to still have a fresh mind and a high attention capacity. If possible without chat, but that's up to you. I think, as with most routines, you start to see early improvements about 4 weeks in. So don't be shortsighted and think about the bigger picture. Best of luck. You can be like Daigo, Brian. Don't give up.

[@shaunmcisaac782]

"Practice with a purpose." It applies to pretty much any game you want to get better at. Hence why you see major league baseball guys still doing simple fielding drills and batting practice. NBA players shooting free throws in the training gym. Whatever you can break down to a minimal element, isolate to that minimal degree and gain that little edge. You don't need to win a lot of little interactions in a game like SFV to see big moves in your match win %. One extra "scramble" that leads into favorable setup is a big advantage.

[@kaemonbonet4931]

You can do it, I can't wait to see you punishing these options

[@LordAkadi]

Okay, forget everything...that thumbnail said it all lol

[@Elivanse]

Assumptions are the real villains in fighting games.

[@Coliflowerz]

What i find helps to avoid the "assumption" reaction is to have one slot where the dummy jumps but does nothing

[@jsingh98]

This was actually hilarious to watch

[@Rikimarufang]

Perhaps you should look more at the stateof the opponent during the move? That helps me when im looking for certain reactions to my movement.

[@cocojumbo90210]

This has the same energy as practicing ewgf punish on tekken

[@NovaZayn]

Hyperbolic Brian Chamber

Shine reacting to this video like the Michael Jackson Popcorn GIF.

[@sputnikdx]

Skipped through the video to see if Brian notices that Daigo trains already at the proper distance, while Brian was refreshing, moving forward to get to the correct spacing, and then getting hit.

[@antonsundin2974]

Just keep in mind that Daigo has been doing these types of drills every day for months. So don't get bummed out if you don't see immediate progress. Just do these types of drills for 20 minutes or whatever before you jump into ranked as part of your daily routine and don't think too much about it.

[@johnpayne3339]

dude heck ibuki's low forward.

[@markusbrendon]

Daigo did mention that he trained for months, i saw all those tecniches being developed, the highkick anti air, sweep anti air and sweep wiff punish, and he first thought it was impossible but he kept going, so is not easy to anyone, im sure you will have a brain on the size of a elephant after learning all that.

[@BloodTideGaming]

REACT! Not Predict! That is the key, Brian-san

[@asterhogan1]

punch out and megaman for this training is the best lol

Typical Twitch chat with the immediate downplaying response saying, "Isn't this how most people do it?" Of course everyone practices and drills in theory, but that mindset runs off the armchair logic of "I'd be just as good as (pro player) if I grinded and practiced as much as they did."

[@christophers3262]

I did this once, it's boring. I thought all high level players do this tho. The small practice i did improved my hit confirm and reacting to options. It works.

[@royman4908]

cool video

[@benjaminhabeck3480]

Shout out to the Punch Out Music

[@sebastiansanchezleon3314]

Imagine doing that with vega

[@Joutube_is_trash]

The problem with this sort of drill is I learn I can punish something, then miss a punish because of online and put the game down for a month.

[@Astric24]

I was trying to follow along the video and did the exercise as you did, and it helped if I broke down the reaction between her cMK and vskill into two reactions instead of one. So when she landed I first looked for cMK then after that didn't happen I looked for vskill. Maybe that'd help? But to be fair I'm probably making too many assumptions since she's set to only do one of those two options

[@30yovegan34]

Damn dude, you've gone done a real weird road in recent times. I don't know what's going on but please let me know if there's anything I can do. Best wishes, I hope you come back from it

"in FPS it's DM until your eys bleed" Not even close. A more accurate comparison might be doing those preaim maps like hundreds of times

[@cauaalvesdonascimento8801]

Id definetely auto pilot this and go ''if i dont see the kick in /// frames im instantly using v skill`` and would get beat for doing it in a real match lmao

[@Alexman208GR]

I find it pretty disheartening that not more people do this regularly. I come from the land of tekken and I do these practices all the time and I feel my punishment is pretty damn good because of it. Record a bunch of moves for the cpu to random cycle through and just practice my punishes. Sometimes I also mix up safe or even plus on block moves to train myself to block instead of mash against. It seems SO obvious to me that I was shocked to find out that most people don't do this. Every time someone on a forum is like "boohoo I can't punish anything" and every time I find out they've never done those drills and I'm pretty sure even though I explain how valuable they are they wont do them. I even get people that argue that this type of practice is useless and you only learn from playing real matches which is absolutely not true. :/

[@Chickenthoefvola]

I won't lie without your videos I probably would lose interest in this game. I would definitely not stay competitive.

[@NikolayNikoloff]

I'd be exhausted by the time I do this training, that's why I don't and that's why I'm stuck in Silver. Daigo training is not for everyone :D

[@stilmaho]

A training session where you perform poorly is really disheartening. First of all, there is no definite proof that you can do it at all so the feeling that you might be wasting your time instead of actually improving by some other means is hard to deal with. Not only that, even if you accept that you will improve as a result of said training, it is also possible that there are much better, faster, less frustrating ways to improve.
