Useful and concise, great video. Sometimes you don't run into a character enough to think about a specific counter, and just end up respecting things when you shouldn't.
Or play the character. I've never ever practiced perfect parry against Ken's Dragonlash, but I effortlessly perfect parry it well over 90% of the time, purely because I used to play Ken, lol.
This is how I’ve been identifying it! If he says “oh yeah!”, that means oh yeah, it’s heavy and I can hit a button. Likewise if he says “mix-up!” it’s a real mix and I’ve gotta guess.
True ! But I don't really like this approach as in tournament you can get sometimes either the JP or Eng voices (you can still get used to both version but still), or you just don't have good setup with headphones and all. The best approach is still the OS as described.
5:29 another good option would be to perfect parry the first hit of OD condore spire, then drive impact, the two remaining hits won't be enough to break your DI, and you'll destroy more of her drive gauge. this option is especially appealing if you know it'll put her on burnout.
I never even thought to attempt to counter Condor Spire. Just assumed it would automatically win the interaction. My reactions are definitely not on point, tho lol I also didn't know you could follow up a PP on a multi-hit attack with your own attack.
I only recently discovered through playing against a Lily that you can parry the condor spire on reaction. Yeah, sounds crazy. I was locked in on my reactions that day I guess. But I saw her distinctive forward lean animation and press parry. Don't get much, but also don't lose drive gauge.
Great video buddy, you've been killing it lately. I like that your videos are not padded with nonsense blabbering to reach a 20/40 minute video mark, and therefore I watch them from start till the end, without alt+tabbing and doing something else like the rest. I hope you continue like this and thank you!
We need more of these videos for the rest of the cast ! I knew most of these in this video but it would be great to have ones about Manon or Marisa (having the feeling I get rob by those characters without knowing exactly why 😅).
This was so helpful. knowledge about dlc characters is always useful as you can’t lab the characters you don’t want to play. An anti Aki season 2 guide would be godlike
Very helpful! 👍🏻 It shows the payoff of digging into specific matchups and move characteriatics in training. I guess i really need to learm how to make the most of training mode.
great video! I'd like to add that drive reversal is a pretty good option against windstock OD Spire too, since it's a meter trade but she also loses the wind, and it gives you a bit of space
Good info. I thought you had to D.Reversal Spire, but will keep the other options in mind. I may try to figure out difference on M & H veriosn of the Rashid move. Solid Akuma, Blanka & Chun info. Never would've known on Aki. Thanks.
Chun li flip is pretty easy to deal with block high and you can attack or grab her. You can hit and juggle her out of it if ur woke enough. You can di the heavy flip but I usually do the medium one if they do that cause I can just barely di it back. You could try going for the read on the medium one I guess. Thank you for your guides! I really appreciate them since evo is right around the corner❤!
You can DI Medium Blanka Balls with some specific characters if you do a DI at the last frames before hitting. There is no reason to get hit by that on neutral.
Can you check a cammy setup? 5HP target combo with 5HK 5HK into medium hooligan i think (not a cammy main), then they can manual time the overhead or autotime the sweep all the best man great vids
It's generally a real mix that you have to take since the low goes under reversals (lab your reversals to it). Parry isn't a horrible option since both options are meaty and the only way to get hooligan grab is charge heavy which you can react to. She can drop to bait reversals and block but the timing is pretty strict to still make the mix look convincing. Tbh no idea how it interacts with wakeup Dr but I would guess it will hit Cammy in most situations
Hey man is it alright if you can do an Anti-JP guide? Similar to your other ones where it lists what JP could do and what you could do after certain stuff? I'm playing JP and want to know what people could do VS my gameplan :)
Hi there, my questions might sound stupid but what is an “option select” ? How do you do that ? I’ve tried many times but couldn’t hit Rashid when he does is MP Arabian cyclone :/ Same for Ali’s stuff If you could help me on this one it will be very helpful! Thankfully 👍
Option Select: A situation where performing the same inputs can lead to several different outcomes depending on how the characters interact. Btw you don’t hit him out of MP cyclone, you hit him out of HP cyclone
chris can you please do a video what can we do to avoid getting delayed tech.. as an example when we finish akuma combos with his sweep we can double dash and still be +4 right and after that what i try to do is pressure with cr.mp or go for a throw but delayed tech can nullify both options 😢😢 what should i do to avoid this
shimmy beats delay tech throw, so if both strike and throw wont work, condition the opponent to tech your throw and then after the 2 dashes do a back dash into 5hp
You can do a delayed attack OR as mentioned in the replies do a back walk to shimmy them. I have a video on how to shimmy! ua-cam.com/video/47OA05GX-dE/v-deo.htmlsi=tIsAOBHqf0xkhppS
@@Chris_F Yup I understand selling characters is their buisness model but they should atleast give acces in the training mode, it would make people want to buy the character if anything
Option select means that one series of inputs covers two options depending on what they do. One example would be a delay throw tech where you block for a moment, then input throw tech-if they hit you, you’ll block it and be in block stun so the throw won’t come out, but if they throw you, you will tech the throw.
@@TekkLuthor There’s a lot of them. Some are more general like delay tech and others are more situational like the delay attack option suggested in this video for countering the Aki mix. One of my favorites is that if your opponent his you with a medium button into drive rush cancel on block, you can immediately input a super-if they did a true block string after the first hit on block, you will block their next attack because you’re still in block stun. But if they did ANYTHING with a gap, your super will come out and punish counter them. I won a set in bracket last weekend because Ed went for 5MP on block DRc while I was in the corner, I input level 2, he didn’t go for a true string, so the super came out and he died.
@@femshepFGC I noticed that last one but never knew it was a thing. I'd usually do it by accident. Basically what you're explaining is that during a move where you have to hold, you can add another input and the program will respond accordingly based on the attack. So the moves with the gaps, use block but input the supper and as soon as that gape presents itself the super comes out
@@TekkLuthor I was referring specifically to drive rush cancels off a blocked medium. Just going for super in a string that MIGHT have a gap but they could just stop pressing buttons and block is very risky.
@@Jagurda1 Go in replays and watch her divekicks, I bet she is negative on 90% of them, if she doesn't hit the bottom of your legs her divekick is no positive, I haven't tested it myself but jp also has crazy air invincibility on his standing heavy kick, it should easily beat her divekick if she's not right up on your face
@@dddaaa6965 Thanks for the advice, but this is more complicated. HK has a good hitbox, but it's slow. It cannot be done by reaction. And waving them mindlessly is very risky. He also only has 4 active frames. There are a lot of situations where a delay or a late dive kick interrupts him. EX Dive Kick has no countermeasures without DP.
If you perfect parry the first hit of OD Condor Spire, you can also drive impact after to absorb the next 2 hits for a huge punish.
Awesome video! wonder why not many youtubers don't do this. so you keep at it!
I def will keep it up.
Btw, your artwork is absolutely amazing!
Chris_F is the hero FGC needs but doesn’t deserve 🙏🏾
thx bro!!! just doing my best
Useful and concise, great video. Sometimes you don't run into a character enough to think about a specific counter, and just end up respecting things when you shouldn't.
Glad it was helpful! It can be hard to learn matchups especially against less popular characters
"Just perfect parry X" man if it were that easy lol
If you practice it is
Or play the character. I've never ever practiced perfect parry against Ken's Dragonlash, but I effortlessly perfect parry it well over 90% of the time, purely because I used to play Ken, lol.
Something to note about the rashid pressure is that he says diff lines when he does the med and heavy version
This is how I’ve been identifying it! If he says “oh yeah!”, that means oh yeah, it’s heavy and I can hit a button. Likewise if he says “mix-up!” it’s a real mix and I’ve gotta guess.
True ! But I don't really like this approach as in tournament you can get sometimes either the JP or Eng voices (you can still get used to both version but still), or you just don't have good setup with headphones and all. The best approach is still the OS as described.

I'm a simple man, I see a new Chris_F video, I like and I comment.
Great video this one! Going to give me a ton of ammo to use in some matchups now!
Thank you so much!!!
Your videos are excellent, don’t change anything, it’s perfect.
You explain very well, without conjecture. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much! I’ll keep doing my best!

Drive reversal is a great option if you miss the perfect parry. You trade 2 bars for their 2 but they also spent a wind stock
This needs to become a series! Amazing content and really underrated
I’ll have more coming! Thx!

Thank you so much! My channel concept since I started has been to keep everything only as long as it needs to be to get the point across.
Amazing video, and I love your specific advice on how to set up the training dummy for things like Rashid's kick!
Happy to help!
Lily's overhead also beats Chun's Hazanchu since she does a little jump.
This is why you're my favorite Chris. Thanks a bunch for these videos.
My pleasure! Thx for the kind words bro!!

If you perfect parry the first hit of lily's 3 hit spire you can go into di and you don't even suffer the perfect parry scaling
great video! I'd like to add that drive reversal is a pretty good option against windstock OD Spire too, since it's a meter trade but she also loses the wind, and it gives you a bit of space
I totally forgot to add this, thx!!

great video thank you! hope to see another one for when bison comes out lol
Def will
these videos are so great, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you for the vid! I need more anti akuma tech 🤧🤧
Glad it helped!
So much to learn :)
I need something like this to deal with Rashid insane pressure. Not if only there was a way to deal with his level 2 super!
Feel like "Fake Pressure" could be a whole video on its own!
I might just do this!
You can DI Medium Blanka Balls with some specific characters if you do a DI at the last frames before hitting. There is no reason to get hit by that on neutral.
a 4f low is so good in this game

is countering the non windstock Condor Spire the same as unstock, or similar to the OD version?
The way literally every move in this video has been giving me a hard time 😭

Thankfully 👍
Option Select:

Btw you don’t hit him out of MP cyclone, you hit him out of HP cyclone
Cant u perfect parry and DI OD condor spire wind stocked?
Yes you can, forgot to put that in the video
Could I request for a future video be on how to beat Honda? For obvious reasons.
Will try to include him next time!
If perfect parry, ex dp, or super are the only counters to a move then forget it just block lol. Some moves are just busted
Many moves in this game are balanced around parry so you need to lab against them in training mode if you want to become a stronger player

Good advice but I can't lab Rashid's rolling assault without paying the DLC (Which is absolute bullshit)
