WE GOT THE MEATIES (How to meaty in SFV)

[@Cezkarma]

As a new player, timing my meaties well seems to be incredibly challenging, so thank you for the upload man! I've learnt a lot already just watching your content.

[@leehunter3964]

you will gradually find patterns to time them automatically. it is very difficult to time it willy nilly, but you will gradually understand "okay throw into dash into X is a meaty" and such.

[@skela_na]

Actually a huge meaty fan, great video.

[@corbinwilliams4045]

Hey Brian! Just wanted to say that your videos have helped me IMMENSELY with DBFZ. You made me realize that when I lost to a masher or insanely random player it was due to over-engaging. Now, when I play patiently and punish mistakes, I win nearly every time with a clean sweep. I've now finally reached Demon rank! Thank you a ton. PS: I'm hardcore digging the stache.

[@triggamicbeatz3456]

These thumbnails getting better and better lol. Brian your on to something good. Keep up the great content. Triggamic242

[@jwhite1202]

Word up! I watch your channel specifically for this type of content. You’re giving me something else to think about or train almost every week.

[@FayeOkay]

The way Brian lights up when he picks up on the whiff punish at 5:47 is so endearing

[@DepressionShaman]

I've learned some much from Brian F, Smug and Infexious these last months, I've rarely touched ranked the last few weeks. Trying so hard to take what I've learned and put it together. I'm working on frame trapping right now, but it looks like I've got to work on my meaties too now. Thanks Brian.

[@blues4509]

I think the best way to teach is to teach others how to learn on their own. We need more videos that teach you how to lab properly like this. Thanks a lot!

[@jameshayes9041]

I got clickbaited into learning something

[@multistuff9831]

In hftf, jotaro's oki relies on a 50/50 meaty which leads into his bnb which also leads into hkd WHICH ALSO leads into 50/50 oki. If you don't meaty, the enemy rolls or does a super and s through you and you get fucked. Just goes to show how much a meaty changes the game.

[@nyleaustin1336]

To be fair though, if jotoro even so much as grazes you with a stand off dash 5A, you’re losing half your health. I wouldn’t go so far as to say your fucked, but ur day is infinitely easier if you don’t mess up your 50/50 and your opponent guesses wrong

[@rogerhogg8899]

I always watch your videos but damn this is great teaching. I understand a lot of this stuff intuitively but you do such a great job breaking it down and explaining the concepts. Subscribed.

Stache and Meaties: Ultimate clickbait mixup

[@LukasRocks001]

Anyone surprised that a platinum player didn't have a proper grasp of these concepts is severely underplaying the importance of solid fundamentals, and how possible it is to understand and apply concepts without having the complete theorethical knowledge about them.

[@NikolayNikoloff]

This is actually great anti-Rog guide, I'll study this hard so no Rog could ever mess with my Ryu :D

[@Jh0nnyM]

I hope i don't sound like a dick saying this but, i am really amazed at how Waffles or any other player can get to platinum without knowing what i thought was basic knowledge of the game.

[@Brian_F]

Some players play all by feel. I'm kind of all study/analytical so it's really good to talk it out with HMW since we approach things so differently.

[@voodustyle]

rank in online fighters are really just about winning not necessarily knowledge or skill until u reach the high ranks

[@Jh0nnyM]

@@Brian_F Oh for sure. The subject is super interesting to me. I'm actually questioning my priorities when helping people that want to get better at fighting games. i give a lot of priority to the scientific aspect of the genre when playing myself so maybe instintively i thought this was everyone's priority when trying to get better, and that's probably the main reason i have a lot of troubles finding a flexible way to teach every kind of player there is

[@zokisvasta]

Notice how Waffles has an incredibly healthy approach to the game. He realizes he's not playing well and knows he lacks "basic" knowledge, and he's willing to focus on fixing the issues he's having. This is also a testament to the fact that you don't have to know every single aspect of the game to have fun and be a decent player.

I just wanted to post here that I faced a Gill player called nemoexceptbad that had a 49 win streak (that became 50). We played the first match, which he beat me and then when running it back, I adapted and beat him and he rage quitted. I mean, how scummy you have to be to do something like this.

[@Mugen123456789]

I play gill and I had higher tier characters rage quitting on me last night, felt great lol

[@saviorofseals5111]

is it actually possible to react to which wakeup option they're using? I feel like a lot of them look mad similar until later on which makes it harder to react to

[@Brian_F]

It's hard and some characters have really ambiguous animations but overall yes it's reachable with practice

[@saviorofseals5111]

@@Brian_F thanks Brian

[@myboy_]

Hey for melee if you're having trouble with short hop aerials fox is probably the worst character lmao. Try using falco while you're still trying to get the muscle memory for the L cancel and fast fall. His jumpsquat is MUCH more lenient

[@brandonsellers1076]

You coaching YungWaff feels like you're coaching me cause he and I have a similar play style. This is gonna help me out a lot cause I've hit a rut and just play casuals and some Plats DESTROY me whereas I can body some Super Plats. I have glimmers of greatness but get rolled most of the time.

Ive been practicing it in training and somehow icouldnt time it to block reversals and beat anti-airs it would do one but not both

[@scotter7663]

This is an awesome strategy vid for Rog. I need some strategies like this for Kage, anybody got the meaty setups for Kage?

[@Brian_F]

Just take the same principles from this video and apply it to kage

[@scotter7663]

@@Brian_F I'll definitely try to apply these principles, thanks. But some of this stuff is pretty specific. Like what move to do right after a throw to catch the opponent in a meaty and set them up for a whiff punish, that is slick. I'm prob just being lazy, wanting someone to give me the answers when I need to get in the lab and try different things for myself to see what works with kage. Thanks for the vids and tips!

for some reason in platinum rank people do random sweep it drives me nuts

[@Ayyem93]

Anyone have advice for in match blanking, freezing when pressured and how to stop using the wrong buttons?

[@BrainGeniusAcademy]

Not a pro but this usually means your mental stack is too full. You don't have mastery of your tools so you're stopping to think about your next action, which causes you to be slow or miss the chance entirely. Searching for "fighting game mental stack" will bring up lots of explainers and guides but the short version is to train specific situations so you can have a default answer. If an opponent jumps at you, you should have a default anti-air ready. Hitting the wrong buttons ties into this - if you don't have an answer trained already, your hands might start moving before you pick an answer - boom, wrong button.

[@Ayyem93]

@@BrainGeniusAcademy Could it also be the time I have in? I just started playing fighters this May and I feel like I've progressed tons over the past few months but I keep moving between super bronze and bronze and it really gets to me, because I want to be great and my rank stagnation tells me I'm not getting better.

[@LukasRocks001]

@@Ayyem93 Ranked is more of a test about match-up knowledge than raw skill in the Silver-Platinum rank range. If you're hard stuck in bronze, however, you still lack the internalized basics. Work on your anti-airs and your punishes, get all your bnb combos down to muscle memory and every time you get blown up by some crazy ass setup, save the replay and go through it to see how you could've escaped and when you should've pressed your fast button.

[@NUTGORE]

What is a meaty

[@tasseiviews2947]

I'm still struggling with what a meaty actually is. Is it basically to have active frames as your opponent rises?

[@zokisvasta]

Yes. And not only be in active frames of the move, but ideally you'd have your move hit them on the last active frame.

[@tasseiviews2947]

@@zokisvasta Ideally hitting them on the last active frame, is that so that you can move again first or as fast as possible?

[@zokisvasta]

TasseiViews In essence, yes. Your frame advantage will be better if the move hits later in its active frames. This is because the blockstun duration is the same, no matter which frame your move hits on.
