This is excellent and reminds me very much of how higher-level Marisa players explained using Gladius to me. Layer one: use Gladius to keep them away from you. Layer two: Now that they’re scared to approach or press a button, walk forward and take space. Pressure them on block. Layer three: Once they start pressing again, Gladius is back, baby. I can’t always execute it in a real match, but understanding those various flow charts across a character’s game plan is huge.
Love these kinds of videos, explaining thought process and learning to develop counter play to your game plan is something i have not seen before. More videos like this please !
I'm glad you mentioned that bit about punk, great player that plays to his strengths. I came to the same conclusion when I tried watching vods of bison and realized punks style doesn't suit me and started watching kakeru and others instead
Very scholarly of you to cite Armada and his own higher level tactics. Armada himself was a teacher, so perhaps that experience manifested in that way for his gameplan of testing people. Our fighting styles draw upon our life.
I really like this approach. Forming a gameplan then think of various counterplay so you can adapt to those sounds much better and easier to do than trying to read opponent's behaviour on the fly. Thank you so much for this video!
this is great i realized as i watched this that ive been subconsciously doing this but i would benefit from giving it more deliberate thought like you outline here. i play manon, which means im a command throw pervert and im trying to land it as often as i can. i noticed awhile back that when i show how often i want to do this lots of players adapt by neutral jumping when they know a command grab could be coming. so sometimes i dont command grab, i just crouch block and if i see the jump i c.HP -> cr.HP and snap them back to the ground again and try to meaty them next time but there are so many ways players can counter my command grab that i now realize i havent devoted a lot of thought to. i often get put into that "exam" you mentioned and end up failing it since i dont know how X, Y, Z, character can effectively react im excited to lab later now. i have an empty notebook that could use some scribbling
Offense as data collection has been my turning point sometime last year, this is consistent with those concepts. Great, keep these coming as long as you have fresh ideas!
Yep the overlapping options is one reason why against mad sweaty players on sf4, I would use her LK dash instead of regular dash or hk dash or jumpin or cr.mk (her highest priority button) thing is there was a range where you could just buffer buttons against ibuki and it really stumped her approach game… lk dash opens all that up because I could dash into a closer range but not get hit by my opponents buffered buttons. I’m still the only sf4 ibuki I knew of that used that as a mainline strat (not saying there weren’t others, just I don’t know about them) Good stuff
I really love that all of your videos feel like watching a master class or a lecture on the game, it never fails to blow my mind and shape the direction i'm going with the game, you also inspired me to keep using my notebook to write my strategies and make them better and more verstaile! thank you so much!
Your content albeit niche is so damn good! That's the kind of coaching/advice that's overlooked when ppl are trying to really get to the next level in FGs , keep it up!
This came out at the perfect time, i was about to start a training session to learn mind games watching some replays... Nice applicable knowledge, thanks 👍 (And if you notice, this helps with defense too, by knowing the offensive thinking path that the opponent can apply to you.)
Bro! I just started using a notebook for my own reference! I plan to have it function as my spitballing/theory crafting journal, my list of important concepts to review when I feel like I’m losing a lot, my reference for situational combos that I haven’t worked into my gameplan as of yet, and probably more!
Good topic on the opponent's counterplay. And question of how to deal with it. I'd have no idea if not for watching good players use my main. Wow, a notebook. I read the SF6 Super Combo wiki for my main. Got a few combos on a post-it I can read easily during training & a match. Solid vid.

@@delvv81 glad you liked it, thank you!
The relaxing music is nice. As a newer player I panic whilst being pressured, whiffing and messing up inputs. It helps looking at things calmly.
I'm glad you mentioned that bit about punk, great player that plays to his strengths. I came to the same conclusion when I tried watching vods of bison and realized punks style doesn't suit me and started watching kakeru and others instead
How would you describe punk style vs kakeru?

Much more solid analysis than I was expecting. Great stuff!
@@AP-Design appreciate it!
This video is amazing but at 8:20 the Pokemon HGSS Voltorb Flip music started playing and my anxiety spiked
im glad u play sf and melee. i quit melee after playing for almost 10 years but also respected Armada a ton. subbed to u
this is great

I just started to play with an open mind and I realised this by myself, I think we are going in the right direction there 😊

I’m glad you play Cammy cuz I’m always trying to understand the character as much. Good content
Always appreciate the good advice and chill xenoblade music
Amazing ! Thx for sharing

@@MikeyDLuffy Glad to hear. 🙂
That overlapping thing sounds so obvious but I’ve never thought of that

I never know I'm missing a piece of the puzzle until you show me the missing pieces...😂
this video leveled me the fuck up holy FUCK

Use 0.75x speed if you feel like he is going too fast.
I turned it up to 1.75x so I can work on my defense.
No more smash content at all?
@@official_j_accel I still watch every major, so its not off the table, I just don't have any ideas of what to make since I haven't played much myself
wtf are those people on the beach doing
