Street Fighter 6 Parry Explained! Easy Tips On How To Use

[@TisNomad]

a small tip on the parrying supers topic, parrying anything makes the recovery change from parry recovery to the recovery of whatever you parried. It means if you parry a move that causes you to recover as if you blocked it. TL DR: A succesful parry is just a block plus the benefits of a parry such as drive meter recovery and push back reduction.

[@The_SOB_II]

What? Holy shit that's real Good

[@myrez_]

so good to know this. I was like "why would I even parry if there's a 29f recovery"

[@shadowofthenorthstar989]

i dont use parry as much as i should sometimes during a match i forget its in the game

[@Bluebocat]

This is how I feel with DI

[@grahamjl766]

The mental stack is real. I never seen so many uncontested jumpins from elite professional players because of it.

[@evalangley3985]

@@Bluebocat Drive Impact is the answer to all the neutral Special move spamming. It can punish almost everything... like those Sumo Headbutt or those Blanka Ball.

[@SharkWithFreakinLaserBeam]

@@evalangley3985 nah, you'll get blown up trying to DI headbutt. It recovers too fast to DI on reaction.

[@JoeRahl]

@@Bluebocat I'm the same. I'm ready to react to my opponents DI, but I always forget to use it myself.

[@diamonddogsgaming7059]

This is actually really great advise, I never used parry like this... this will definitely help me break that platinum barrier I'm stuck in. Thanks man

[@jamesbutler5630]

I just made platinum one star ⭐️ good luck making it out

[@TrophyJourney]

The platinum barrier is ruthless! I finally escaped it yesterday and I'm super happy about it. Best of luck to you!

[@TheSoulCrisis]

@@TrophyJourney My Zangief is platinum 1 rank, while my Guile and Chun-Li are both gold rank. I feel like what separates the diamond ranks and up are those who have mastered the match-ups and system mechanics, while platinum and below are still struggling with specific match-up tricks and knowledge, plus still mastering their strongest characters on their way up.

[@michelpetrus]

Very use-full tips, especially holding down parry against multiple jp spikes instead of pressing parry down at each one of them. Thanks.

[@WoWisdeadtome]

Here's how I've started thinking about parry in match: Consider the damage you take from a punish counter throw. Now...how much damage are you likely to take if you guess wrong on this next mixup? If it's likely to be more if you get hit, then bet on parry. This means I tend to parry more later in rounds when bigger supers are on deck. It does make people second guess their offense too.

[@antonsimmons8519]

People who've fought a lot of JP are not underestimating the value of parry. We have embraced it.

[@evalangley3985]

I usually use Drive Parry to use ultimately Drive Reversal. It works almost all the time. As a JP player, you just take your turn back and it is brutal to deal with.

[@shinonyx]

Interesting, im a JP user to, didn't know you could go from parry to drive reversal. This will save me from allot of accidental drive impacts.

[@Azalealiketheflower]

​@@shinonyxIt would only make sense because you can do other options out and you're still technically taking the hit, so it should work nearly the same as DI out of a parry, at least in concept

[@shinonyx]

@Azalealiketheflower no it totally works, tried it as soon as I read your comment. No more unintentional drive impacts from me lol

[@Azalealiketheflower]

@@shinonyx Awesome, thanks for testing it out bro!

[@franckfrancois4378]

Love the way you break down everything in simple to understand terms. Keep it up been following this page since the SF4 days

[@DoubleVGames]

Thanks for the tip! Been watching your videos since SF4. This really open my eye on the parry mechanic. I didn't know you were about to tech throw after parrying

[@thestupidpenguin]

I've lost count of the times I've visited London and there's a British gentleman in a suit drinking tea in the middle of the road. 😂

[@AdversaryOne]

Perfect timing on this. My cousin and I were just discussing using parry vs blocking during different situations.

[@TrophyJourney]

The best channel on KZbin for SF tech! Thank you so much for delivering time after time, Vesper!

[@jeffsantos93]

Wow I didn't realize you got so much meter back from each attack. Dang, I gotta use it more.

[@gamedope]

... and that's what Street Fighter is all about! Love to see there is this complete guide for the mechanic! Cheers!

[@Waffles2186]

Very informative sometimes I forget to use parry I forget how good it is definitely gonna start using it more now especially on wakeup supers and DI in the corner is really good thanks for making this vid.

[@claudiusboasman3681]

I learn something new about SF6 every day. Didn't notice you get your drive gauge back when you successful parry...smdh.

[@TimScottSuiGeneris]

Now I can pass the basketball bonus round 🏀

[@TriFF51]

I absolutely would have just assumed tapping parry for each projectile was more efficient (and thats what I do). Great tip on the hold for spammed fireballs.

[@justingoers]

This was very helpful. I’ve been using a lot of perfect parry, but not enough of regular.

[@Dadbro]

This was an excellent video. I don't play this game, but I still found it captivating.

[@DenjinOni]

Thank you for this info Vesper because I was actually wondering what all standard parry could do

[@Kysen10]

I had no idea about throw teching after parry.

[@LETHALAURA20]

Vesper been clutch with the tutorials since I was in 5th grade. Thanks vesper

[@PkrLambo]

2:11 I didn't know about the parry throw tech, thanks a lot

[@Shadowdancer777]

Good stuff.I use parry mostly for fireballs but now going to use it more for drive rush spammers.

[@superRVemacao]

Great video!. I had not realized it was that important. Good to know.

[@JakeInTheUK]

I didn’t know about parry throw tech. 🤯

[@CodyDavidHolmes]

Thank you Vesper... very informative!

[@0thers1d3]

Good stuff V! Love the overlay!

[@fonzworthbentley7455]

I got to Diamond without using it, I forgot it exists because everyone spams throws 1000 times in a row

[@aspreedacore]

insta drrive rush throw...

[@GazuNeveS]

Brah, can you do an analysis on Wakeup Timmings (framedata, normal and hardknock down, wakeup options) Thanks for your hard work guys !

[@evalangley3985]

One opponent was trying to Perfect Parry me when I was jumping at him... the problem with that is that you get a free throw when you empty jump... he learned the hard way... and that's super effective when using JP. You bait the opponent with Gates and use Departure when he tries to parry.

[@Iankill2121]

I've seen this alot too, it's something you can try once or twice in a match. It's good because you can get a punish counter combo

[@Martin-nd5pb]

That was great tips Vesper 👌

[@kidmagiAFGC]

This is pure gold. Kudos x100.

[@Xagura]

Thanks for the Tip Dood.

[@shaieresmirnoff]

It builds that meter baby!!

[@DoubleDDGaming]

JP with his full screen Command grab

[@positiveliberty]

hey buddy. amazing vid! can you cover parrying during blockstrings? people crouch jab all day long online and I wonder if I can (perfect) parry in between?

[@hajatianaandriamaro5355]

Very clear content 👌

[@dimex3362]

Great stuff! I learned a lot!

[@garryj6311]

Great advice video. Really appreciate 🙏

[@skyaniite]

Great video, thank you

[@nathanboreman5971]

That's something I needs to do more on wake up.

[@lastzulu180]

thank bro you helped alot

[@classicretros23]

good stuff

[@Kusanagi2k]

This was really good, perfect parrying next?

[@BIGPUN4EVER]

Awesome vid, thanks for the tips!

[@Sommersault89]

So good bro, def upped my game!

[@ukrainewarfootage2023]

Great video, cheers!

[@lunariuslonewolf3618]

Excellent

[@bodhistevens9332]

Brill video vesperarcade. Thx

[@rogermorse_]

Hmm I am confused, I wanted infos on the perfect parry (+ counter) but seems it is the only thing not covered in the video about parry?

[@VesperArcade]

It depends on what move you perfect parried but you can pretty much punish with anything, unless you perfect parried a light attack.

[@mikeestill1672]

This was a really great video.

[@therealhalfmind]

Notes have been taken!

[@miguerys9503]

Let's get the parry started! ... Tough crowd.

[@AnhDonoi]

Lol. Dad joke too strong

[@jamesbutler5630]

You the man

[@LeeBuddy]

Zangief cares not for your parry. Unfortunately though i think his super can be parried. Due to it starting at fist attacks.

[@armorgiraffe]

Honestly I didnt know parrying also worked as a reversed fautless defense from GGS

[@Reaper-kf4yb]

i wish there would be a list of Parried B&B or Blockstrings whichh become punishable with the less amount of Pushback ;)

[@mir2266]

the pushback is not any different, just even split between attacker and defender, as opposed to the defender taking all the pushback (excluding the corner)

[@atlas6845]

Hello Vesp great job, please is there a flowchart ken in your playlist? If not please consider making one.

[@haloboy217]

So this is how you get around JPs full screen super...

[@MagikBased]

If you have less than half a bar left, can you still get a perfect parry?

[@VesperArcade]

Yes, it's the only way to prevent burnout at that point.

[@RandomPerson28337]

Parries are very strong in this game

[@MrAllenlenlen]

When you do the tech throw, do you still holding the parry buttons or you have to release both buttons and press the throws buttons?

[@The_SOB_II]

I need to take notes on this... Can I pay for the script?

[@CanalRulez]

cool

[@SuperiorWare]

Vesper SF6 looks like 3rd strike Dreamcast version with normal canceling Activatedm

[@rdmqwerty]

whenever i try to parry a honda headbutt or a blanka ball, they just walk up and throw me

[@nonono9681]

Do yuou have any info on trades? i dont udnerstand that mechanic

[@jasonruff1270]

So is the frame data the same as block?

[@Gonnluv]

Got a question. Parrying has 29 frames of recovery, but let's say you parry a move that usually does 20 frames of blockstun. Assuming I let go of parry right after parrying that move, do I only get 20 frames of recovery, or do I get the usual 29 frames?

[@feri7mble]

If you let go of parry, then you are put in the same situation as if you blocked the move. In other words, your parry recovery will match the usual blockstun.

[@Gonnluv]

@@feri7mble Sickk

[@martinithechobit]

Thanks.

[@blackmanta2527]

Im thinking of using parry after a flip out . Is that legit?

[@Rakioos]

This is a great game but i still prefer sf3 third strike in terms of the parrying system .

[@brando402]

Parry supers except if they’re throw supers and fireballs ez

[@hamadzokl887]

Can you tell us how can you remove jamie shirt in SF6

[@Hadoukage]

The other day I ran through a Vesper Arcade club member lol. Y'all need to pay attention!

[@kingfargo9578]

The fact that I can’t punish a “whiff” parry with a button because they let the opp block right after is fucking stupid. Make the parry recover window REAL. Shit is ridiculous

[@darkerm76]

And you forgot to mention anything about Perfect Parry. Why no one talking about it? WHY?

[@zeokenx2]

The reward for it is scaled damage which isnt good pre say in early matches but when your opponents are low health,it can lead to guaranteed punishes/situations.IMO it got its uses but

[@jaxsyoutubechannel2827]

Throw is over powered

[@fRikimaru1974]

I think that the name is just wrong. Special block would have been more accurate.

[@KN-592]

lejend

[@hamadzokl887]

The code botton

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

Perfect parry is ruining the game as I expected. And now with Rashid coming I might as well just delete the game. Fighting games are more about being flashy with a million mechanics than actual competitive balance.

[@evalangley3985]

Perfect parry is scaling so much that it actually doesn't matter.

[@Aubin1]

competitive balance has never existed in any fun fighting game ever, get over it

[@ImSoConfucius]

Damage becomes shit after perfect parry. Just stop being so predictable so it doesn’t keep happening lmao

[@gp381]

Also, perfect parrying isn't that easy. Depends on the move. Some moves startup faster than others and are different timing.

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

@@gp381 Getting perfect parry on me when I want to check your minus frames is garbage.
