Glidxr coming on through! Thank you for the names man. I'll be sure to try to check em out and study them.

[@SiebeSC]

@@DannyValkyriaIf you need some Tira knowledge, I’d be happy to tell you. Die hard Tira main😉

[@Daniel-Rain-YT]

Also me on PC , about Voldo's unblockable slap when he's facing away from ya... duck.

[@iantate9999]

The beauty of Maxi is that you never truly know what the mix up is gonna be. Theres common strings and the bread and butter combos but every Maxi is slightly different. I only play soulcalibur bc of Maxi and Maxi is my toughest matchup even though hes my main.

[@MattMBZ]

My main is Cassandra Tier B3. My biggest Help Me's: Tira (absolutely hate), Amy (can't do anything), Cassandra (refuse to fight against because she's annoying AF but she my main). Struggles: Yoshimitsu, Xianghua, Taki Confident: Nightmare, Kilik, Siegfrieg, Astoroth

[@Niktana]

YAY! New video! Seeing Setsuka down there... it pains me just makes SC4 all the more appealing. I have no idea on advice, since- it depends on the player. Then again... if I see Cassandra, Raph, Geralt, 2B or even Groh. I am tempted to just put the controller down and cry in my wine bottle. lol Great video!

[@DannyValkyria]

You’ve taught me too much Setsuka. That’s the only reason why I feel confident against her lol

[@royal8808]

As a Hilde main I found your comment hilarious about her. And yea she indeed is 1 of the best characters in the roster they finally did her good 👍🏻. The scary thing with Hilde is the fact that she is always free to charge/launch her attacks and you cant notice it. Her verticals/ horizontals are insane. She is literally a short and long range fighter in 1 and thats where she shines..she's good against the whole roster. Oh and dont let me start about her whiff punish game+regalia..she's a better and rewarding Sophitia relying on punish and mistakes.

[@DannyValkyria]

Ah the third Hilde main as been found LOOL Appreciate you leaving a comment my guy. Any tips or weakness that you know Hilde has that you feel like sharing with the class so I can put up somewhat of a fight against her instead of just getting annihilated LOOL

[@brianlyn3766]

pretty fun to hear your perspective. I'm also not the best at the game and I can relate to a lot of what you're saying

[@Kryptic245]

I wanted to main Taki since I was super good with her as a kid, but coming back to the game as a much slower adult, I have gravitated to playing Nightmare a lot more. Mostly because his combos are easy peasy, super cheesy. 😁

[@DannyValkyria]

Nightmare is incredibly fun but I feel ya on the Taki. I use to play Natsu and when SC6 came out, I was like: Oh I can probably play her. Nope. Not at all. My younger self was far better at combos LOOL

[@SuperFrostification]

Danny vs Astorath matches are one of the battles of all time

[@DannyValkyria]

Hate that man so much LOOL whenever I face him, it’s pure pain and terror

[@angelbautista6290]

I'm a Siegfried main and the fact you didn't know where to put him got me 😂

[@DannyValkyria]

I don’t know what to do against that man dancing with all his stances or his dark legacy LOOL plus I just don’t get to fight many Siegfrieds which may be a good thing 🫠

[@angelbautista6290]

@@DannyValkyria fun fact you hit Siegfried out of his stance's

[@b0hem1]

This was fun, albeit I originally thought your video had near 700k views😂

Only in my dreams LOOOL Appreciate you checking out the video and even leaving a comment though!

[@Amesang]

To this day I _still_ have trouble against Yoshimitsu, Voldo, and Hwang; I fight the first often enough, but the latter two are so rare online - and it doesn't help that I've never really studied their move lists to give myself an idea of just what to do. On a related note, I think fighting against the CPU on "Legendary" difficulty has been detrimental in the long-run due to how hyper-offensive the A.I. tends to be, whereas human opponents tend to pace themselves better (also the A.I. likes to Ukemi _too_ much which makes it too easy to punish them).

[@DannyValkyria]

Legendary CPUs also reversal edge like no tomorrow and FALL for reversal edge as well so I don't consider them at all to be good practice. But I completely get about Voldo and Hwang.

[@asteroidalassassin6949]

I really hope the CPUs in soul calibur 7 are better.

[@Amesang]

The A.I. "V-Rivals" in _Street Fighter 6's_ "Battle Hub" is an interesting concept, but at the end of the day they still fight like regular high-level CPUs; I beat the "Master" A.I.s about as often as I beat the Lv8 CPUs, even though I'm normally Platinum 1. 🥴

[@prinzeugen6321]

There was this Raphael who used to beat me hard every single time I met him. Didn't know what to do. Fought him over 100 times I think and only won once.

[@DannyValkyria]

Raphael is super rough to deal with. Keep it up though and you’ll start getting wins soon. 👍 I use to be the same way with plenty of opponents in both Smash Ultimate And Soulcalibur.

[@prinzeugen6321]

@@DannyValkyria yeah but the thing is, I only had a problem with that ONE Raphael. The guy was insane, the moves were very well executed. I get wins, just not with that guy. Also yeah I need to get back online. My last online game was on October 26 2022, it's been a while.

[@DannyValkyria]

@prinzeugen6321 The Boss Battle of Raphael’s for ya LOL should definitely hop on Calibur again one day. Xbox still has the quickest rank matches to jump into. Plus it does feel good coming back to calibur after a long break.

[@rubyzkarlet]

Im a half newbie myself but I have been practicing a lot since I started on 2021, and also watched a bunch of guides. Here's my 2 cents on the "Help Me" ones 😹: With Astaroth what always worked for me with any character is just going the fast as f*** way. Rushdown on him like if there's no tomorrow. He has a massive range and grappling can be a headache but his weakness is that he's among the slowest chars and while close range is his strenght for the grapples, is also his weakness cause just like Nightmare, on short range his toolset is very poor. Another thing is to avoid high attacks if you can cause his hitbox for dodging high attacks is just BS XD Raphael's kryptonite for what I heard and noticed so far is 8way-ing since most of his core attacks are very vertical relyant so if you sidestep a lot you limit him to use a weaker toolset, and while he can still be a hastle, most of his power tools are linear. Which kinda surprise me cause at times he almost strikes me more of a Guilty Gear or 2D weapon based fighter character than a 3D one. Seong Mina I never had particularly major issues against but that's cause I always try against her to do what I do with Ivy, try to get in, and when I go in try to rush down. With "Mina" is easier than with Ivy cause the latter can be dangerous on close range too but at the same time I feel like while Ivy's game is more range based, she's not as quick as SM. Which she pays for it on close range, something that Ivy doesn't strugle as much. With Voldo I say, fight randomite with randomite lmao No kidding that's what worked with me.... Kinda lol, I never know what stupid things he's gonna come up with so I end up pseudo-button mashing, which kiiiinda works? Sadly on this one I could use some help as well I admit XD Xiangua..... Hmmmm, can we ban that character out of existance? 🤣 No wait. BAN CASSANDRA OUT OF EXISTANCE! Phew, that felt good to say XD Hilde is a tricky case. She depends a lot of her charged attacks and think that she's a "keep X button pressed" kind of character, so anything that forces her to release that button so she has to "charge it up" again is very effective. The thing with her is that she can be as linear as Raphael but on long range, however on short range she's just as dangerous as even Talim cause that's where her horizontals with her smol sword shine. So I would say that you have to somehow keep a mid horizontal range against her, or force her to use verticals on short range somehow? The key is.... Spear = B attacks, Sword = A attacks and from there practice accordingly. That's not a rule but a tendency tho. And a bonus one. With Inferno.... You're 200% allowed to use cheats. Fight broken with broken as it should be lmao

[@DannyValkyria]

Hilde is especially tricky too cause Groh and Geralt are both kinda mid range fighters which she is fantastic at. Also about Cassandra and Xianghua, I wouldn’t mind LOOOL appreciate all the advice. Thank you so much 👍

[@rubyzkarlet]

@@DannyValkyria XD

[@Slender_Man_186]

While you might think Raph is easily countered by just stepping to the sides, his kicks will quickly pop him back onto you so he can keep spamming verticals. I know because I do exactly this to people who think it’s that easy to counter him, my older brother and cousin love Sig and Nightmare respectively and I kinda bully them with my Castlevania Alucard custom character. Even when they go to Yoshi and Voldo to try to finesse me I just *poke poke kick*

[@rubyzkarlet]

@@Slender_Man_186 To be honest I'm getting burnt out entirely of fighters as a whole. Recently it doesn't matter which one I play and on which mode, I get far too quickly annoyed to the point of slamming my devices and I came to the conclusion that maybe fighting games as a genre is incompatible with me, cause taking breaks is no longer helping, not even updates of the games or modpacks. Far too many things to consider for countering each character among other things to the point that I'll rather invest that time into other games that reward the time spent a lot better, even if roleplaying as FG characters.

[@dolphinbanana3053]

h e h e all of the characters I'm decent with are in the top two tiers I used to be good with Talim but I got rusty and I haven't tried to remedy that- also with Setsuka I have the concept down but not the execution
