Street Fighter 6 A Few Easy Tips To Help You Improve Fast!

- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- My brother returns with a more "positive" video. This time, he shares some easy tips that helped him improve quickly in Street Fighter 6. One of the main ways is simply by playing ranked. Even if you're a beginner, matching up against opponents who are your level will quickly show what you need to work on. Nobody likes to lose, but that's part of the game. Finding your weaknesses is the key to victory. The last piece of advice is to never stop climbing after you reach your goal.

The losing part is so important. Ego and fear of losing is what is keeping people from getting better. This was a great video.
Lately I've been running into a LOT more one-and-done players in Ranked. Finish your sets, people! Quit jealously clinging to your league points. You can't learn anything useful from a single match.
@@protodevilin I play casual as I don't get enough time to play more. But casual I can play against the same opponent many times. I can beat them 3 games ahead and then they start adjusting to my style and then start beating me. I learn the most from the adjustments against me.
@@protodevilin is definitely an issue I am seeing a lot lately as well.
@@djoakeydoakey1076I agree. Casual is good for learning your character, and adjusting to others' adjustments to you.
Sometimes it ends up being ranked anxiety. It's not the fear of losing, it's the fear of playing. Dealing with it. Winning willebe as frustrating as losing.
One piece of advice that I feel is always missing in videos like these is to also look at what you did well. When I watch my replays, yes, I look for stuff I can improve on, but I also cheer for myself and celebrate the stuff I did really well, like reacting to a DI in time, making a correct read on a throw attempt or a whiff, and also telling myself "That was f*ing amazing!" (or whatever comes to mind in that moment) 😊 Helps me a lot with motivation, to acknowledge where I did well and where I see improvements in my playstyle over time
“If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room” so true fellas..keep grinding that’s the only way you’ll get better and progress..
So I'm Master Rank and hovering right around 1500 atm, played probably about 100 games since the MR system came out. Yesterday, I decided to go to a small, local tournament, as I don't have a local scene in my city but rather it's around 45 minutes away. Anyway, round 2 of the tourney I ended up against NuckleDu himself...and I competed with him well! I took a round and I was one guess from getting a game off him. I ended up going a mere 1-2 in the tourney but I had a great time and got to play on stream with the crowd and my friends and family cheering me on. Looking back, I can definitely see areas where I made mistakes and plenty of room for improvement, but I'm really glad I've pushed myself to get this far. Leveling up is one hell of a learning experience, and it's honestly more learning about yourself than it is the game. You learn how to overcome challenges, your own negative emotions from losses, simultaneously keeping your self esteem up and your ego in check. It's a seemingly endless road but definitely worth it imo.
I’m so glad I do most of these tips already, because back in SFV I didn’t, and I was stuck in bronze the entire time.
I’m obviously not the best player in the world and I know SF6’s ranks are jacked to all hell, but I’m midway through Plat right now and I’m holding my own against diamond players in battle hub, something that would’ve never happened back when I played SFV regularly.
I like to think that because I do the things mentioned in this video, that I’m actually improving a ton as a player and seeing my rank go up (or even down) as a sign of progress really adds to the rewarding feeling
That's great to know. It's important you're still having fun and improving at the same time. Don't worry about the ranked system being weird in SF6 because once you get Master, it becomes a lot more challenging, so keep up that grind.
Great advice! I would barely stay in super bronze in SFV because I just didn’t want to play ranked while losing (and learning). With 6, I’m approaching platinum 5 because of simply grinding ranked more and learning from my wins/losses.
I definitely needed to hear that part about sticking with a ranked session for longer. While I don’t dip out after a few losses, I still get (unnecessarily) scared of deranking alter hitting a new rank. It’s such a silly worry but I always fall for it in the moment.
Ty, Vesper. Im a beginner to fgs and your videos are super insightful and helpful. Its super cool that so many are more than willing to help us all regardless of where we are on our journey❤❤❤
Good advice except the part about not stopping at a certain goal.
SF isn't your job it's a hobby for leisure. It's totally your right to decide what your own goals are and what "success" looks like for you. We all have finite life so it's actually healthy to consider how we want to spend it
I agree with you. Some people will have SF6 be their game to play for the next few years, and will dedicate large percentages of their free time to it. And that's okay. But I think most people (me included) just play occasionally, and in addition to other games, and have other activities to do in our free time, so I also think it's okay to reach a goal and rest. I would just say not to be too scared of losing that rank if you put the game down for a few months and come back to it. I wouldn't just get to a rank and then stop forever to chisel that rank in stone for all time, as that's not as fun as playing more casually but losing that ranking, in my opinion. Personally, I don't have a particular goal because I'm more casually into it and I don't want to have to stress over rank and stats and such, but then again, this video is also geared more towards those who are really trying to improve, so I also kind of understand where that advice is coming from...
Let us be more clear. If you want to continue to improve you can't "stop" at a point where you're afraid you'll start losing. A lot of players plateau because of this. You're taking this a little to literally lol. Have fun and play at your own pace but don't build walls for yourself at the first sight of a challenge.
Somehow you completely missed the point and attacked something that was never said, and 19 people were stupid enough to agree with it, damn
Being afraid to lose the second fight in a set was making me one and done people in ranked and that held me back like hell. After a while I said screw it, I'll play full sets now regardless. I'm doing much better and currently at mid Diamond 3 for the first time. Fear sets you back miles!
Same here, man. I’m now like “f**k it, we ball” whether I win or lose.
The problem with rank is that it is region locked, so in my case I keep getting matched with the same few people again and again, I am not learning anything they do the same things every match.
I think it’s not a problem when you’re getting matched with good players who actually adapt. Then it’s a lot of fun - it becomes very much about the mental game. But when you play against someone who has a total cheese/flowchart strategy, it’s really discouraging. I honestly just close the game at that point and play something else for a while so they can get matched with someone else lol.
What you can do is temp block that player and the matchmaking net will grow a bit. Then unblock that player when you're done for the night. Seems to be the solution for now.
I recently stepped into Diamond rank but began to grow doubts in my skill and nearly took a second long break from my main to try pocket characters. It went alright but deep down I felt like I should face the fear I built up of different leagues feeling like different planets. Watching this video was a good reminder for me to remember that it's okay to have doubts or not-so-strong sessions, but I can and should press on like everyone else.
im currently sitting between plat 3 and 2 with guile and my goal is to reach diamond. Im playing ranked everyday and training combos, hopefully ill break through soon but it feels tough! thanks for the tips
Lol I totally call myself out during matches so I’m glad I’m not the only one. Appreciate the video.
I can admit I used to be one of those people who was absolutely terrified of losing or playing against stronger players because I didn't think it'd get me anywhere but if anything it's the opposite. Challenging yourself is one of the best things you can do and will eventually make you better. What's the point in smurfing in ranks that you know you're well past or just ducking competition? It doesn't make you better. It just hinders you.
I’ve always though the best way to learn is by making mistakes because now you know what you’re doing wrong… if you think you have all the answers .. how do you know you’re not the one who’s wrong.. great tip to look at what you’re doing wrong and not just thinking the other character is broken..
Something important to do is also not to focus too much on being "The best". We will never be "the best", because there will always be someone above us somewhere; and this is liberating.
A lot of people think that Rank is essential and is something that defines us as players, but that's a lie. The idea of fun disappears in this speech and we are focused on just leveling up and forget that not always playing well will make us level up... Sometimes your mood gets in the way, your day gets in the way, the wind interferes and it's okay to let it go for a few hours or a few days.
I, slowly, am going up and learning a lot. But whenever I find myself being too critical of myself even when I'm ranking I stop playing and go to casual. Then I learn from the mistakes, I have fun and remember that, yes, it's just a game... And since my last comment here on the channel (when I was stuck at Platinum level 02), I've already managed to go up a little more and I'm in Platinum 04 (almost 05).
Fun fact: playing in the casual I always face Diamonds level 02, 03 and even Masters and, oddly enough I've already won many of them. Likewise, the other day, a Ryu Rookie gave me a beating. It's life.
This video is about ranking up and made for people who want to get good. Clearly not your cup of tea but no need to preach about it, this video is just not for you and that's okay
"shame on you"
Said SmurfArcade calmly.
Awesome video, we need more vids of you two guys giving advice for beginners.
Thanks!, this was very good tip, I was hard stuck platinum 2-3 but I changed my mind set too, what you guys are actually saying now I'm platinum 4, "don't be afraid to lose"
Qualified in Bronze 3 and currently in Plat 2. The current goal is to get to Diamond. Actually taking this game more seriously than any other SF I've played. Watching matches, seeing where I missed opportunities, and working on things I never thought I could do, like confirming counter hits into full combos, and also confirming off of 1 hit.
Gold 3 Star Guile started in Bronce. I fully agree with all you said. I already take breaks and sharpen up whenever I see I got to much in trouble so back to casual and training mode until the combos are better flowing and I understand the game a bit more. Thx guys and keep on going with your channel!
Thank you for the video, this gave me a boost of confidence in not only this game but other games. I have this sense of anxiety when playing in ranked that everything goes out the window for me. I get frustrated but I learn that losing is more of a lesson(s) for me to see what I need to improve on.
Believe or not this is my first Street Fighter. I grew up more around 3D era fighting like Tekken,Virtua, and Soul Calibur. It took a lot of getting used to the mechanics, movements, and intricacies of the characters. However, I am loving every moment; I have yet to step into rank or battle hub because World Tour has got me hooked lol.
So once again thank you for taking the time to teach all of us how to improve. My top 3 characters would be
1. Juri (I studied Tae Kwon Do so my eyes went straight to her)
2.Jamie ( he got some funky sets up and a good character to practice in lab especially with the drink mechanic)
3.Kimberly ( I love speed, in your face characters and who dont love Ninjas)
If anyone is reading this lengthly post lol. I am on PlayStation 4 (still saving up for PS5) my gamertag is AS_Alchemist.
Thank you guys for the pointers, I’m sitting between Gold and Platinum. I’m loving this game SF4 was my intro into the FGC, I played SF5 for the first two seasons and stopped. I forward to seeing what this game evolves into.
Sometimes I dont care about winning. As long as I pull off what I've done in training I feel satisfied.
same here!
I only get frustrated at myself when I stuff up the thing(s) I've been working on 😂
Recently hit Plat 1 - New to the FGC & Street Fighter but I’m loving it. Learning new things & executing online has been so rewarding.
The long sessions & accepting losing too is a good one that I need to listen to.
Great tips! I have been having much more fun on SF6 ever since I stopped worrying about rank/losing points. I go in with the mindset that I will learn something new regardless of how many losses it takes me to learn that move, setup or counter. I have been stuck in Platinum 3 since 2 weeks after the game came out and am not stressing that I can't get to Plat 4 or Diamond.
This is my first fighting game. After 3 months of playing, my house burning down to the wildfires (rip), and 80 hours of ranked + 70 hours of practice mode, I have successfully hit masters on my main guile! Your videos helped a tremendous amount, thank you!
Good point on ranked. After trying to get my Capcom ID link to work for 9 months to do online, I finally switched to another PSN & got online.
No ranked yet; I'm New Challenger, & no goal. I've played SF since SF1, & it 5 years to get gold in SF5. 😐 I stopped there to focus on other games, like KoF15.
After some losses in ranked for games, I stop in order to watch a replay.🙂The break can help avoid a losing streak. 😉
Never reached Master in any game, but I don't get to play as often as I'd like. Fun vid. 😎
Playing ranked is the way to go! I made a goal to at least get Diamond 1 but now that I made it I think I can get Masters 😊 Great Video guys!
Rewatching this to mentally prepare for my climb up the diamond ranks to master. I did take a break from ranked after hitting diamond a while back but ive been labbing and training irl with friends who are in master, or in battle hub against strong players. Gonna try to approach it with a learning mindset and try not to get too salty if i get demoted
I used to get mad at how people would shimmy me on wake up. Now, when i understand the importance of shimmying, when i get shimmyed, i am so impressed.
I hit diamond after my placement, 80 hours of training when the *game came out, still haven't been back in ranked since placements. I feel like with JP there is so much new things you can learn that I ignore ranked and just lab. Time to hit ranked and get those hours up! Thx
I'm currently hovering at 1450 MR with Manon. My biggest weakness currently is with some character specific knowledge checks. So I'm currently playing sets until I get beat by something that feels impossible to stop and then going into the lab and recreating that scenario to determine my options.
I've been sent from plat 1 back to gold like 13 times now lol, but now i'm farther up plat 1 than i've ever been!
"Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters." Master Yoda
I’ve had some good success using battle hub to fight decent sets against people who are significantly better than me. I might get beat 10-0, but I’m learning, little by little. I went from gold to platinum very quickly after I had been stuck for a while. Casual matches don’t really match me up with people who are better, usually either about the same or lower skill level. Losing is a million times more valuable then winning when it comes to learning how to improve.
BrotherArcade with the BIG tips
Ryu player. Qualified in Silver - ranked up to Plat 2 pretty quick then stalled. I got there entirely off of Ryu fundamentals with AA and fireballs and then struggled because I was basically playing SFV in SF6 and dropping so many combos as a result. Not being able to combo sMP into crHP got me killed so much and getting it out of my muscle memory was hard. I've spent the last couple of weeks in the lab and battle lounges with friends and I feel like I've finally started playing this game not the old one so maybe I might start trying to grind upwards again.
My biggest weakness currently is matchup knowledge but that takes quite a long time to learn if you can't play all the time
best advice ever. "literally never stop playing!"
The day I hit masters I then lost like twenty or more straight games. Fell to about 1290. Since the tho I normalized, I'm back to about 1450 now and I don't regret it, but I can see how the negative feeling would really hurt some people.
For me, I've been working on improving at dealing with those bad days so overall it paid off. But I agree that it was a wild change!!
Really enjoyed the video. My struggle right now is trying to pick a main. I've got 3 characters at different levels but I'm still unable to just stay with one. Any tips on that would be awesome. Thanks again for the vid!
My advice is to ignore the current tier list and just focus on the character you think is cool and fits your style.
Great video- especially about losing but i’m not sure ranked vs casual/BH matters as much anymore. one of the great things about casuals and battlehub is that you can play set after set with someone better than you. If it was first to 2 you’d never learn and adapt, but most players in my region will go first to 5, 10 or even 20.
i stopped ranked at platinum Juri because i get so much more out of these matches in casual/BH. This week i played a master cammy. i took the first game, got downloaded and lost the next 9 but they weren’t free. i now have 10 replays to run back to do exactly as you guys said- i can see all my mistakes and fundamental flaws.
Keep up that grind and I promise you'll make Master.
SF6 is not my game but this goes for any game with a ranked system. You don't improve by playing people below your level and the casual modes generally match you against worse players more often where ranked modes pit you against same skill or better players
The problem is that worse players don't check you on things better players will check you on. You don't encounter defense you can't break or better pressure etc. You'd be a lot farther if you just practiced rank and try to learn where you mess up than stomp noobs in battle hub. Your mentality is very common and it's present in most games, people can't deal with the pressure of ranked and invent for themselves casual modes is where the real challenge is at! You didn't go that far, but some people will legitimately claim the scrubs they play in casual modes are better than the people in ranked lol. Seen this in so many fighting games, crazy
@@Bladieblah i would agree with you but this game is a little different.
in casuals my win rate is about 45%. my last run in ranked to hit platinum was 70%. in general, i think casuals are harder than people in ranked at my skill at least in my region with a big player base in North East US. i’m by no means having an easy time. i’m not running over anyone and i feel like i’m finally learning match ups and getting past bad habits.
i’ll definitely jump back into ranked but casuals/BH is an excellent place to learn/fail in this game.
I don't have PS+ and I don't watch twitch, but I guess both brothers are pretty good now. 👏😁👍
Zangief - diamond 1. It's so painful to loose again and again, and even after seeing what my mistakes were, I still loose. Very painful, but... I wanna get Master. It's a shame that I dropped SFV after getting 100% trophies, so I'm not stopping now.
P.S. I hope CAPCOM will add Vega again)
Amazing video, I can say about myself that more often then not I'm choosing to play other games instead of focusing on improving, shame on me I guess 😂
Thanks for this little extra inspiration , I definitely needed it ! I demoted last night back to plat 5 after a pretty brutal few months getting my Jamie to D1 . I was feeling pretty demoralized as of this morning but it’s all part of the journey . Hey if anyone wants to run a set against my Jamie I welcome all challengers !
I am really bad, but I'd love a set. (Plat 3 here, but not really skilled and do lots of random stuff lol)
@@YoshiExcel sure ! Link me your name and I’ll send you a request .
@@xaviergonzales9562 YoshiExcel If you see me on, just send an invite for sets anytime.
Yeah man the MR advice is true. I had lost 180 points and then sat down and took break and i gained my 180 back lol but i just ran in head first.
Yeah, it's tough!
Love the video and happy to hear I’m not crazy by talking to myself and helping me remember to react to DI or to check jump ins currently in Plat5 but my goal is to hit Master by or before the end of the year
Love the videos man. I’m curious do you play on 1080 p or 1440? I heard the former is better for input lag?
I started taking SF seriously in 2017 as a Cammy main through the duration of my playtime, and I only made super silver in SF5. I feel I have learned a lot more fundamentals from you and juicebox and I am now Gold 5 with Kim (focusing on her now) tryna reach Plat. My goal is to keep learning and get as far as I can. Great video guys.
Keep it up and thanks for watching!
Good video! I definitely have a bit of ranked anxiety. When I first queue up I'm very nervous and drop stuff that I rarely do in the lab. That being said I've gotten 3 characters to diamond or higher and several to plat or higher. Having a hard time finding who I want to main lol. But I'm enjoying the game nonetheless.
I'm the same way- I feel like they haven't released my main yet so I'm just getting by using pocket characters until they do. Problem is now I have like 6 pocket characters lol
TLDR; 2 days ago I watched this. I have incredibly annoying ranked anxiety. Stops me from playing any online matches, period. Since the games release, I played the placement matches, over the course of about a week. That's how infrequently I'm able to force myself into playing online. Since my placement matches, (it put me in plat 4) I've probably played 1 game. When I see a video like this telling me to just get over it and play I get confident that I can do just that. However it's been two days already of finding excuses not to play. Like, I WANT to play, and I want to want to play, but I just fucking hate losing to the point I think I actually take it personally lol. everyone is a scrub and I'm the best there is (clearly by my platinum placement lol) so why, how did I lose? I know how delusional this sounds but that's my frame of mind. One loss and I hate the game. If I was a streamer, I would probably be worse than LTG and DSP combined. HOW DO I GET OVER THIS and just enjoy the fucking game? I've installed mods that hide my LP, rank, win streaks and rank ups, I've made alternate accounts to disassociate from my main account (as if it fucking matters, I literally don't know a single person in my real life who plays this game) but I still sit down to play and end up in training mode for 2 hours before turning it off. Help 😭
Still more respectable than people who just play battlehub/casual mode and try to convince themselves it's better practice.
That is also one way to get over the ranked anxiety, and how most people seem to deal with it. Convince yourself ranked isn't that important and casual matches are where it's at!
I'm a "casual", and I feel liberated that I don't care about rank. I'm in silver with most characters (gold in a couple and bronze in a couple as well). (I love that each character can have a different rank, because it makes me more likely to play as characters that I normally wouldn't play as.) I like ranked because I can play those around my level. I don't want to play Platinum or Diamond players, because the match will be one-sided in their favor. If I do put more time into training, maybe I'll get there, but in the end, no matter which rank I am, my opponents in ranked mode should be somewhere around my level. So I think I can always have fun, as long as matchmaking is good. Some people (at least in games that allow it) will "rage quit" ranked matches just so they can get a higher rank. I don't understand it. If you are in bronze and are playing platinum players, you won't have fun, even if you see a "Platinum" icon and a lot of points on your profile. Those kinds of people (also called cheaters) care more about their profile than actually having fun, and that's kind of pathetic. (Thankfully, I haven't met a rage quitter in SF6, even though I have around a 50% win rate...which actually should be the case for almost all players in ranked mode fighting against others of around the same skill level.) Either legitimately try to get better, or happily accept your rank and just have fun casually. Anyway, that's my advice.
My advice is to play players at you level and watch players better than you.
Its amazing the number of small tricks and strats that you get from watching someone really good with your character.
Even if i can't do exactly what i see i try to adapt it and find an easier version.
In my case, I reached master with Cammy in two different accounts, I'm mid diamond on the road to master with Ryu if possible, worked to diamond with Manon too. Also classified straight diamond with Chun Li and Dee Jay. My status is irrelevant, I don't regard myself good at all, there are tons of players smashing me, but I want to share also my perspective if it contributes to help anyone too to trust themselves. Back in SFV I got to diamond with Cammy in several accounts. But as I reached there my win ratio dropped a lot. So I centered myself in casuals trying to improve that ratio. I played mainly a single character. To the end of the game I started using and ranking other characters I liked. And I did notice a change when I fighted these characters later. I won't say I always won against them, but I understood better certain patterns and counter actions to them. Also if they were safe, punishable or I was susceptible of being tricked (such as eating an EX DP after a +2oB in my favour). Now in SF6 I played ranked with my main no matter what and I got master twice, just to check if it was real or luck. When I reached master I did not play any more, and switched to next character I like. The idea is the same if possible. Then getting under the skin even of those that give me the most trouble and rank them to a decent level. For example I lost a lot against Dee Jay. I decided to train with him a couple of sessions, I understood some of his okizeme, combos (simple ones doing insane damage) and positive on block moves. I did positioning and I got diamond directly. Obviously more knowledge is needed, but when I now fight him I understand better what they do (not everything ofc). And if I should respect them or not.
Losing is a part of the game, and learning from losing makes you stronger.
Important tip, especially for newbies who are worried about their points/ranks, is that you can't get ranked down from Iron to Rookie, from Bronze to Iron etc, that ends when you rank up from Gold to Plat. You can lose levels/stars within a rank, but Streak Bonuses can happen and boost you quickly. Keep going.
That said, it's absolutely fine to take a break when you get tilted.
I’m diamond 4 and those super sweaty matches be lit and annoying at the same time but when I actually win the set I play harder the next set good video
Honestly thought id top out at platinum but, im currently in D2. Yesterday, played through some tilt and ended the session with more points than the losing streak i went through. I got used to going through a couple demotions before finally advancing ranks.
just watched this video after taking it easy from 2 rank loses. ah tough day
i'm new to playing street fighter online (started yesterday). i've played the game before but only on arcade mode and versus mode with the cpu. i started off on iron 1 and i'm now on bronze 5 with 4690 lp. i was nearly at gold but then i started losing. one more loss and i'm going back down to bronze 4.
i play ryu. my playstyle consists of doing crouching medium kick into hadoken, hard shoryuken to anti-air, if i land a drive impact in a corner then i do hard punch into medium hashogeki then i do hard shoryuken, and i do throws. i do ex DPs for wakeup. i build up my meter to level 1 then do a shinku hadoken to try to punish my opponent. most of the time they block it or parry it. sometimes i use it to punish drive impacts and that works. i sometimes throw out drive impacts but my opponent frequently jumps over them, especially in a corner. if they throw out a drive impact at me, i either block it, get hit by it when i'm standing, or i get hit by it when i'm doing a move like crouching medium kick. i just can't react quickly enough to do a counter drive impact. i also don't know how to implement combos into matches, apart from mk into hadoken and the dive impact one i said earlier. losing is really demoralising. i really want to be good at this game. if someone replies to this and gives me advice on how to improve, it'll be really helpful.
I feel like the intent here is good but the delivery needs tweaking. "Don't be afraid to lose" works; also consider the perspective of "Prioritize goals other than winning": such as hitting certain combos, tech, strategies, stuff you've been practicing or watching. And take time to appreciate your advancements and accomplishments! Always "being hungry" will mean you're never happy with what you just ate.. food for thought
What exactly is the problem with the delivery? Man is just saying it how it is. Ranked is the place to improve, casual modes are exactly that, casual. I think he literally said don't be afraid to lose, and to not play with a strict play to win mindset and quit after 2-3 losses. I don't see the problem here.
The real problem is people don't like being told they should grind ranked because they make up all kinds of excuses for why casual modes are better
I wish the casual matchup has a setting to choose the ranks you want to be matched with. From my Own experience I started Playing rank (totaly failed my placement and started at Rookie) went to Bronze 3 quite quickly but felt stuck there (was loosing most of my fights) so I stopped playing ranked matches during few weeks and only played in training and casual. I eventually figured what I was doing wrong and got the courage to go back to Ranked and holly ..... I went to Silver 1 in less than an hour and Silver 3 in few minutes. I'm not afraid anymore of loosing in ranked
This may seem as simple tips but are very wise advice.
I'm at Platinum right now and my goal for now is just surviving and earning points in here. I've been demoted to Gold several times now so I know this the exact level I'm at. I've been going to locals and even registered at the local Pro Tour classifiers so I know I'm getting a taste of the competitive level.
Oooh it's our bois again, let's gooo
Thing with acepting loosing and learn from your fails is true, and gold, but at the same time there are players that didnt struggle that much, and in month got master for four characters ( and i'm not talking about best players) My point is that not everybody needs that "loosing road" and that is a pity:)
enjoyed this
Hey, at the moment im hard stuck at Diamond 3. I took a little book to write down all my weaknesses and I started working on them. My goal is to reach Diamond 5 at least and then aim for Master. It's kinda frustrating to win 3 games abd lose the 4 following ones at the moment but thanx for the advices.
Please can you do a Manon video. She's my main and I just hit diamond. I feel She's a lower tier character but v unique- would like to improve
Addendum to Tip #2: Don't be afraid to lose... but don't be utterly fine if you lose. If you're fine with losing, then why would you try to get better?
Or not taking things to an extreme like that? I think the advice is more for people who get too afraid to play or they get nervous while playing and don't focus because they just have the fear to lose
When you hit the Plateau and you have good control over your character, you need to lab against the other characters in the game and their typical sequences.
My near term goal is Diamond, long term is Master.
Unfortunately just haven't played enough ranked yet. Got less than 20 hours of ranked time in. Currently almost Plat 5, still gaining each time i play but the competition is getting harder.
It's only a matter of time to my Marisa gets her Diamond 😊
hmm good to know about ranked matches. I love the Battle Hub, but I routinely get my ass torn open and pounded out by nothing but Master ranks and multi star Diamond players while Im trying to learn new characters. Then when I finally start consistently beating a player and think Im getting somewhere and am learning my character finally - turns out my opponent was a bronze rank 😓
That's the Battle hub life
today is my bday and this video made my day! ty vm
If you lose, go to the lab and figure out what you can do against what was killing you. Preparation and familiarity is key when playing ranked.
Losing alone won't help, lose but try to pick up at least 2 things you did wrong or didn't notice for example if your opponent uses drive impact after a specific combo they execute then make a mental note and punish them accordingly the next time you see it.
Sometimes I'll even lose my first set just trying to learn how my opponent plays and then win my next 2 sets.
I’m trying to get into this game because I think it’s really dope.
Only thing is I haven played a real fighting game since UMvC3 😅
Guess I have a lot of labbing to do and muscle memory to build 💯
I'm currently platinum 4 with Zangief. Can't get past that yet because I keep losing points and it seems like I've hit an unbreakable ceiling. But I know I haven't so I'll just keep playing til I break the ceiling. I could easily blame the character but I like Gief and I'm most comfortable with him so no switching yet for me.
Same with Lily 🎉 🫂
Counterpoint to the "don't fear to loose". I just went and got 1 victory out of 10 match this afternoon, lost match to dropping combo out of nowhere or getting super cancel after said combo (damn that buffer). So i called it quits and it's been what, half an hour and i feel a bit dizzy. I think imma gonna go take a nap before i pass out >_>
As for my rank... i don't really care that much at the moment, i'm trying to put all the cast in platinum to find how everybody works out and who i should main. Some i rank directly in high plat and continue to play for a couple day to a week in battlehub or with friends, other in high gold and need a bit more pushing. Mostly one session though. I can definitively feel the "keep grinding" as gold really ain't a problem to powerthrough should i place a new char a bit lower.
The goal is to find a main to keep grinding up to diamond/master. I'm a bit surprised as there's 2 characters i never liked playing before that i somehow find fun to play with (Sim and Blanka). I still need to try a bit few more character. I hope i won't find a couple more character i enjoy as it's gonna be troubling to settle on a main if there's 6 characters i want to play seriously.
If that happens, i guess i'll just have to main the "random" slot and grind it in ranked then ? (i'm joking but managing to rank that thing may be the hardest thing to do no ?)
How about knowing that I get hit by DI like 70% of the time, and also know to be prepared, but still unable to react to DI, and eat a combo? Am I just boned at this point?
I think this is actually an instance where playing casual matches can be beneficial. Casual is a good place to do really specific practice. Play some matches where your literal only focus mentally is reacting to DI. Don’t devote mental resources to anything else if you can. Also make sure you’re not using too many moves in neutral that can’t be cancelled into DI. Your reaction time means nothing if you’re in the middle of a move that you can’t cancel.
I have a few guides on DI now to help deal with it. It's more about playing around it than reacting to it. I think the level 7 Ryu CPU uses DI a ton. See if that helps.

I'm just honestly hoping for anything at this point... some folks say I'm not "bad" or I'm too hard on myself but since launch i was stuck in silver till A.K.I dropped than FINALLY I got gold one and ended up hard stuck until the new year! And I'm adding this edit but I barely learned how to combo a month ago...
"you aren't playing enough!!!" I tried playing 24/7 and it nearly made me quit and fatigued and burnt me out extremely bad... also I'll be real I'm an extremely slow learner... also I'm use to losing it's all I do. I've won a few games like 70 compared to...3k?
Rookie to super diamond in 10 months? I just started playing sf6 3 months ago and im a little stuck on platinum 4 and 5 i really felt like i was useless and playing a game i was aeful at even though i consistently go on long win streaks in casual but usually only 4-5 win streaks in ranked than sn hour of losing snd than bsck to winning a bit snd endong up in the same spot i started at in the beginning of the set lol ty i feel like you just gave me more hope lol
I just hit plat 4 with Kim and this is my first street fighter. This is difficult because Kim’s MU’s are hard with little to no defense options
I am hard stuck in diamond 3, I feel like I can’t advance any further everything I’ve been doing has worked up to this point and I don’t know how to improve now I play Cammy and I feel like I hit a wall I don’t know how to improve I’ve just been using the same tools that got me to this point and now I can’t get any further. How do you break the mold and get passed this?
just got to plat 4 on my way to diamond
I'm a bronze lvl player and the game put me in plat. Everyone is way better than me and there's no way to reset my rank. I don't mind losing but i get burnt out from losing all the time and it's All because i was hella patient during my placement matches and won the majority of games there.
Yes, this was one of my concerns about placement matches. Try to find players in battle hub and play long sets. Then try to return to ranked and you'll eventually reach that level.
Actually, playing battlehubs and long set is the best way to learn IMO. FT2 is too quick and don't let much room to adapt. I am not playing ranked and I found out that the best way to find a good player is to hit BH and track those TTV and YT players... always fun to humble a pseudo pro...
Battlehub can be great for long sets. It's important to also play ranked to see where you're at as well. FT2 is quick and yes, you can get randomed out but it's also good to learn how to adapt quickly. You also want to have something on the line.
"We have another one over here!" The amount of people that convince themselves the casual mode provides higher skilled opponents and better practice is too damn high
🤖No Lie detected🤖
I dunno, I think if your goal is to hit plat and you hit plat, it's very reasonable to stop. Unless you really love the grind, you don't HAVE to want to improve. Otherwise your goal would have been diamond or something higher, with plat being a pitstop along the way.
excellent 👍🏼
So if you cant get out of your rank does that mean improving is not going to happen? Ive been in Iron bronze for 3 weeks now and cant seem to get out. So im guessing im dead stuck here?
If you can't climb it just means you're where your supposed to be. You want to keep playing players your level to improve. It's not bad a thing like people think.
@VesperArcade yeah, but if I haven't improved at all in three weeks what's the chances of me doing so at all?
Was plat 5 with modern gief but switched to classic and down to plat 4 😂
Reactions and predictions.
I def prefer to play stronger opponents failure is the best teacher
walk that fire
i never have fun in ranked.. that is the most toxic place lmfao im a plat 3 dhalsim. this game makes me borderline regret pre-ordering it
As my first fighting game I’ve attempted learning, I try to enjoy this game but it royally pisses me off
BH let you play against everyone... you learn from your offence by winning and you learn from your defense from losing. Playing high level matches all the time can make you pass on important strategies.
If would be nice if capcom would change the ranking if you lvled up like you would in a RPG game like final fantasy 7 you dont loose any if you die. No RPG game has that mechanic that I know of that makes you lose EXP except for diablo2 when you hit nightmare and hell. I wonder if they were to make that change how that would work out in ranks.
Once you make diamond you can't demote, same with master rank so it's already there.
A point system where you can't lose points for losing at all wouldn't tell much about who is better, but only who plays more
@@Bladieblah Thanks for sharing that did not know now i see why everyone wants to get to diamond.
It's a slow grind
