Always hurts my soul seeing fellow Honda’s acting like Honda can’t just dominate the neutral ground game without taking unnecessary risks like medium headbutt and buttslam... not to mention Honda’s forward throw creates better situations than his command grab which should only be used as a punish when u condition people to tech or to catch people acting like they won’t get command grabbed.
Speaking of mixing up different V-Skills and V-Triggers, how long has it been since you've tried Balrog VS1 with VT2? Maybe have some interesting moments mixing in the command grab with the spin or something of that sort?
Seems like it could be viable in matchups where the lvl 2 and 3 fireball just utterly dominate the matchup. Since when you mess up you still get to keep that tool.
13:31 I have never seen anyone ever challenge Chun Li's st.hp and come away with a clean punish. Big brain Brian out here 🧠 Edit: 14:15 usually this happens lmao 🤣
Here's a dumb question. Why do so many G players not prioritize fully leveling presidentiality? Are there advantages of the level 1 and 2 specials over the level 3 versions, and are they the same as the ex specials?
Lvl 2 was considered better in many matchups last season but they nerfed the fireball now. Also generally when you get a combo midscreen, usually with vs1 it's better to dash at them to get pressure than to sit back and level up. So in most matches you would hit them, dash at them to push them to corner and apply pressure, rather than sit back and level up
It's not a dumb question, thinking about moves and the advantages and disadvantages of that (move is a great habit in learning fighting games. G's level 3 specials are all better than his normal specials, in theory G would always want level 3, the main problem is what G has to do to get levels. Getting levels in neutral is a big risk as the level up time is quite long and players past a beginner level will rarely let you level up for free. A punish on a level up will usually mean a G player gets damaged and loses the level anyway and even without a punish it will still let an opponent in to pressure you and gives them screen space. Getting levels off of combos is much better bet but still has some downsides, taking a level off of a combo gives up any wake up pressure (okizeme) and resets to neutral. If the round just started a level can be really useful but if the round could be closed out or even threatened it becomes less worth it to level. A good example is comparing Brian's mid screen combos to corner combos. When Brian gets a hit midscreen he is much more likely to level up compared to the corner where he is much more likely to take the pressure becasue of how much stronger corner pressure is compared to mid screen pressure (ignoring that leveling can be unsafe to mash in the corner). If you play G and you have to weigh all this and include factors like screen position, health, and even the matchup. In a matchup where Brian struggles in the neutral game he may value levels more or less. In matchups where he wins neutral he may feel like levels aren't as important as pressure or could make his neutral unbeatable. For example we can take Abigal and Zeku and say the G loses neutral to these characters (G may not lose neutral but for this example let's say he does) even though he loses neutral in both he may value leveling much differently. A leveled up fireball against Abigal might be a huge boost but that same fireball against Zeku might mean very little.
Oh yeah i like G vs2 i used it a bit. Too scared to get knocked down and lose levels + it increases defense on extra uses which is easy to farm with lv3 fireball cancelled to it. Pretty good,bit more safe than vs1 per say 1:04 oh i like vt2 too. But that for smug
G is such a cursed character. He feels like hes from a completely different fighting game. Not in a completely busted way like launch akuma, just... different. I will say that even when you play him like an annoying gremlin, G has mad style
Isn't the "new combo" just the Vt1 combo? I don't understand why people sat vt1 is nerfed when they have access to the combo for the expense of one ex bar
In level 3 you can spend a bar to get VT1-style cancels even without VT active, that's not a nerf to VT1 that's a buff to level 3. The VT1 nerf is you get far less special move cancels (the V-Trigger timer is lower based on what level you are when you activate, and VS1 drains more vtimer). So basically you get less uses of VT1 now.
@@Brian_F Okay, I get it. So knowing that you get the Vt1-styled combos, that alleviates you from "needing" to use trigger 1 skill 1 and can branch off to vs2, use damage buff, keep level 3 and do vt1 stuff. Looks like a major win for a lame/explosive playstyle. Now if only vt2 got some better shine. But its just good for enders, ease of use, and good against fighter-types.
