I’m a super casual fighting game player, but still watch your channel cause of your enthusiasm for the genre and you keep it entertaining. Keep up the great work!
You know, its not all about your dedication, or your skill. If you understand the game well enough to recognize when something cool happens, and then get excited about it, that's what's most important!
I encourage you to try the game if you're not already planning to. I personally hate the modern and dynamic controls but this isn't about me. You as a casual player can finally play the game with your friends and actually have fun with the game. This game will do much better at teaching you how to play if you seek to learn. No more researching all day online
God I just love how accessible Jmcrofts' videos are. He actually considers that some people are new to the community so he explains some of the terminology. This channel helped me out a lot when I got into the FGC through FighterZ, I hope the same thing happens to new players from the SF6 crowd
Honestly SF6 in general does a lot to encourage this as well. The entire story of the game is basically all the old blood welcoming the new generation of fighters into the scene and teaching them the ropes. It's cool with how World Tour portrays all the returning characters as veterans and mentors, and then the *players* returning from older games fit into that same mold.
To anyone thats like me and is stuck with Wi-fi, run a connection test and look for how much packet loss you get I also recommend playing Fortnite (no really) and enabling the Network Debug option. Itll show you any packet loss and connection drops that may occur. Make sure packet loss never goes beyond 1, maybe 2 percent And finally, whatever you do, make sure you're device of choice is the only one using whatever band you're on. Idc if its 2.4ghz, or 5.ghz, make sure that shit is EMPTY before you test and play on your connection Sincerely from an atm Wi-Fi player
One small note about maining: I would recommend finding a “main” and putting about 80% of your time into that character. Playing other characters can help put your own character’s strengths and weaknesses into perspective, and there are definitely cases where as you get more familiar with a fighting game and its systems that you don’t actually like your main very much. It IS important to get a lot of repetition in with one character in order to build up a solid base of fundamentals, but the occasional foray now and then will help you to exercise those fundamentals in new situations. :)
Warning, Powerline adapters are not a full replacement for a true wired connection and have issues with packet loss that can be worse then Wi-Fi depending on home set ups and housing. Especially in apartments where power lines are shared through out the building. If you are on Wi-Fi, you want to be on 5G ac (WiFi 5) or higher. Also confirm your wired connection is better then 100 mbps. These are traps I saw all the time working for an ISP that can cause slow speeds for gaming. Wi-Fi isn't perfect, but it isn't as bad of an options as it use to be.
Exactly I can't understand why people still seem to think wifi is bad in the year 2023. As long as your ISP, router and wifi card are good you're going to have ZERO issues. On my wifi I get 15-18ms jitter and 0% packet loss. You need more than 30 jitter to have any slight issues start appearing in a match
@@ADreamingTraveler YOU'RE going to have zero issues, sure... but the person playing on the other end will be skipping all over the place. There's no such thing as 100% reliable wifi, and it makes a big difference in fighting games. Wifi isn't "bad", but it's not good either. And in a game like a fighting game, it really detracts from the experience here's a video from MikeZ (old school FGC guy and creator of Skull Girls) talking about the issue ua-cam.com/video/yanKfSc1_Sc/v-deo.html
The fuck are you talking about? I'm a network engineer; no games on the planet actually require more than 10 Mbps download speed. Games don't require nearly the amount of power people think - you easily check this by for example, setting up a wifi hotspot from your phone, using it to game online for an hour, then check how much data you've used. An entire hour will likely be less than a gig.
A note about network connectivity: Power line adapters are great if everything is on the same circuit, but it you have multiple circuits in your home, a Powerline adapter won't work well. If you have to play over WiFi, make sure you are on your 5ghz Wireless if it has good signal strength. If 5ghz is spotty, switch to the 2.4ghz connection if possible. The data bandwidth of 2.4 is slower, but offers better connectivity at long range, which means less dropped packets. A WiFi 6 router will work really well at 5ghz, if you're within 30-50ft of the router. It won't beat wired, but will be nearly comparable.
played a bit of the demo with my wife and spent a few matches in the online open beta, I'm definitely sold on SF6! (I think she's digging it too, she doesn't have as much experience in SF than I do, so the modern control scheme has definitely helped even the playing field on our matches!) for sure gonna pick it up when it drops this week!
I like how you can set control preference on a per character basis. I'll definitely be using modern for some of the characters that have move sets that are less comfortable for me, so, the charge characters. But when it comes to picking a main and a couple of alternatives I'll be sticking with classic for sure.
just wanted to let you know, JMCrofts, that you've become the best youtuber at these kinds of videos. For any friendly technical information about fighting games, I turn here for you to explain it to me, you're good at it. Negative edge was a GREAT explanation, its good to know that option exists, for example, it would have taken me forever to figure out what that meant by myself.
Sheesh haven’t seen your videos since dragon ball fighterz days. Just picked up street fighter 6 yesterday and I’m looking forward to watching your videos again. I hope you been good my man!
As someone living in an apartment with the router being out of reach from where my game console is, wireless is my only option. 😭 But my connection is fast enough for most online games, so we’ll see…
I hope your wifi is good enough, but its not about speed. Someone with gigabyte wifi is likely going to be worse than someone with 10 mb/s but is on a wired connection. Game doesn't actually use much data, the connection just needs to be stable.
Thank god you mentioned powerline adapters, most people seem to have no idea they exist and instead just bully anyone who can't put a 30ft cable across the house. If you're living with other people it can be quite an issue...
I would also say that the very first thing you should do after setting up your control type is, get into World Tour mode. Because not only will it teach you the fundamentals, but it also translates your personal created character into online in Battle Hub.
As a brand new player I second getting into world tour. It takes about an hour for the gameplay to start, but you'll find yourself getting more comfortable with the basics really quickly once you get past the opening tutorial stuff. At first I was a little annoyed at how few moves you start with, but learning how to win fights with just normals and 2 supers actually does a LOT for getting you familiar with how to play. It doesn't overwhelm you at all, and by the time the game gives you more special moves, drive stuff, parries and whatnot, you are itching to add those tools to your arsenal as opposed to being overwhelmed by 100+ moves
Nice one! Understanding the controls were the bane of my existence in the open beta and when I finally figured it out, the pc would reset my controlls everytime I play a ranked match. Hopefully, the character profiles work across all modes
6:54 If you can plug in your ethernet then definitely do it. But it's not a big deal if you have to use wifi if your wifi setup is really good. People who say all wifi causes issues have no idea what they're talking about. I'd recommend staying on 5G wifi when playing and if you're on PC I HIGHLY recommend getting a motherboard with a good wifi card or buying your own good wifi card that plugs directly into your motherboards PCIE slot. Make sure you're using Wifi 5 or Wifi 6 and that your card supports that. Also make sure your router works well and check your jitter rate and packet loss to make sure it's low enough. You and your opponent will have zero issues that way.
The easiest way to explain it: WiFi is not full duplex, which means it can not send and receive data at the same time. It alternates very quickly back and forth. Wired can of course send and receive at the same time so there is no delay
This is the first time I've been hyped for/pre ordered a game since Cyberpunk 2077 (yes I know). Not since Alpha 3 and Third Strike have I been hyped to play Street Fighter.
First time I am awaiting a fighting game release date. No idea who I will main, hopefully those guides thingy will help! The one for Luke and Ryu from the demo were awesome, fingers crossed for the rest being on par!
don't feel bad if you can't get your ethernet cable plugged in. if you're rocking a solid modem/router, packet loss isn't going to ruin your experience. if you're also using a 5Ghz router that helps quite a bit.
Wifi signals can get interference from lots of things. You might have the best dataplan, ISP and setup but without your fault get lots of interference from other sources like radio or radar. Water blocks wifi. stand between your router and your device and your body will block the signal (not entirely because it also reflects of the walls around your room).
@@e7thstar With "Negative Edge" ("Button Release Input" in SF6) on, special and super moves can be triggered on either a button press or a button release. This can help with tougher combos where you might not be able to physically press the necessary button multiple times in the timeframe. As a basic "this is how it works," jmcrofts used a regular Hadoken as an example. (1:57)* He presses LP beforehand and keeps it held. The press itself isn't important here; it's just to make sure the button is down for the demonstration. Then he does the Hadoken directional motion ([236], or [Down, Down-Toward, Toward]), and then RELEASES LP. Because Button Release Input is on, the game sees the release, sees that jmcrofts input [236] before that, and recognizes that (ONLY for special move purposes) as [236LP]. Out comes the Hadoken. If Button Release Input was off, it would do nothing. If jmcrofts didn't do the [236] first, then releasing LP does nothing, because Button Release Input is only for Special Moves, Overdrive Moves, and Super Arts. Normals, Unique Moves, basic Throw, and Drive Techniques don't count here. For something closer to real world, consider the very basic combo [Crouching HP -> HP Hadoken]. Normally, that's done by pressing [2HP,36HP] ([Down+HP, Down-Toward, Toward+HP]). Two button presses, one on either side of the [Quarter Circle Forward} stick movement. (Yes, this is EASILY doable, but this is also an example, not a King Of Fighters XIII combo trial.) But with Negative Edge (unfortunately you do need to get used to the synonyms), you can do this with ONE button press instead. Instead of pressing quickly twice, you hold HP on the crouching attack, finish the [236] motion, then release HP. I'm not sure how this is normally written in notation. (Maybe someone else can help?) (At least, that's what I think you're confused about? I apologize if you meant something else.) Side note: This is a similar concept to the "Half A Press" in the Super Mario 64 "A Button Challenge". (See ua-cam.com/video/kpk2tdsPh0A/v-deo.html for understanding there.) There's use to pushing a button down, there's use to holding it (sometimes, with some characters), and there's use to releasing the button. * Ignore the Shin Shoryuken prompt at the top of the screen in the video. He chose something other than a Hadoken, so that he could do what he wants without the game stopping him. The demo won't let you go into actual training mode, so this is the workaround until the game comes out.
Wi-Fi vs Ethernet - Regardless of how stable your connection, there is more jitter (latency variance) on Wi-Fi compared to wired. Your ping may be awesome on Wireless, but the jitter is comparatively worse which causes the instability other people are lamenting in your matches. It's also mainly out of your control, with most random interference being out of your control. Go wired, even if it's inconvenient. You'll likely have a more enjoyable experience outside of giving a better FG experience to your opponents.
I'd say you only HAVE to go wired of you plan on participating in tournaments and taking the game seriously. The experience with well made netplay will be indistinguishable from wired for 99% of players
@@Dasaltwarrior exactly, i know a lot of players think they're one step away from EVO while actually playing silver league, but even ranked matches really aren't some super hardcore thing that needs a 100% perfect dream connection. It's simply not that important. The elitism and toxicity you see from the FG community over this nonsense, and basically telling new players that they should rewire their house or don't play online, is a great way to ruin the unique opportunity SF6 provides to expand the SF playerbase.
@@Dasaltwarrior Yeah lmao I can guarantee you that most people playing people using wifi don't even realize their opponent is on wifi. Plus wifi has improved so much over the years that it's not even noticeable anymore with a good setup
With a good setup you cannot tell a difference. I've tested this with multiple of my friends and they were unable to notice any kind of difference in our matches. My jitter rate on my wifi is 15-18 ms and packet loss is 0%. You'd need a jitter rate of 30 or higher to have any issues. Wifi isn't how it used to be 10 years ago unless you're using archaic hardware
Рік тому+6
I would really love to see someone who is an actual networking expert go into real depth about wifi vs ethernet. I want to understand whether half duplex is actually a problem, what amount of jitter is to be expected, how much jitter results in how bad of an experience, etc.
I think there isn't much technical attention paid to the subject because the core problem (which doesn't take a networking expert to understand) is that a lot of the variance is a result of environmental interference that the technology itself can't really address because of physics. There is _always_ going to be more interference in the air than a cable. What the performance impact of that jitter is will obviously vary game to game, but people who don't have to tolerate it won't.
what other people don't understand is that wired or wireless means jackshit if your ISP performance is poor or all over the place. internet speed means jackshit as well because of the same reasons. It's not just looking at which ISP you have either, but also how good is said ISP within the area you live in. AT&T may be good in certain areas of the US, for example, but in some areas, Comcast may be better, or Verizon may be better, etc. a lot of factors are taken into place when you want a stable connection and most people just think that high speed = stability and it is not always the case.
another issue with wifi these days, is it can actually be slower in practice these days than the old days because so many devices are using infrared signals that block the connection. if ur playing on wifi instead of wired, being conscientious of turned on devices can seriously improve your connection
For anyone new to fighting games and genuine about improving I highly advise you to go online right away. You don't need to worry about combos, trying to get a combo you're doing in training in a match leeds to frustration and panic. Concentrate on landing pokes and anti airs. After like an hour of matches, take note on the normals you land consistently and find conversions in training. And remember, have fun.
1. Finding a BnB combo is my number one helpful tip for starting a fighting game. For the same reasons you said. 2. Go watch a video on how wifi actually works, and you'll be amazed it works at all. They also make cord hangers, so you don't have to trip over the wire.
I'm SO excited for this game, and I was blessed enough to not get properly hyped before playing in the open beta, meaning I didn't have to wait too long. I was warming up with SFV for about a year prior and I like V fine enough, But VI just improved on EVERYTHING, and fixed so much that I was personally unsatisfied with in V. I feel like I can see a much clearer path to practicing and improving in a game like SF6 compared to a game like GGST, and I'm just excited to get started! And hopefully we reach a day where saying "please play on a wired connection" isn't being considered controversial. If you want to play these games they're meant to be played, and if you don't want your opponent dipping after a single match, you gotta go wired.
For a completely casual/beginner, what is the best option for button release? And which are the easier characters to play? And which are the advanced to be avoided?
The most important thing you can do before playing a set of SF6 IMO is actually changing a setting that was in the Betas and Demo build called "Input Delay Reduction". Iirc it was under "graphics" in the settings menu. It is off by default. The description text seemed to suggest you would need a pretty decent pc to make clean use of it, however.
I think it just disables V-Sync? I noticed screen tearing when I enabled it. I’m not sure how it is supposed to actually reduce input delay. The gameplay update loop runs at 60hz and is separate from the graphic rendering loop. So even if you could run the game at 240fps, the controller/stick/keyboard input is still only going to be polled at 60hz.
For finding your bnb, I would recommend finding a discord server dedicated to your character. Im in the Jamie server and its very useful for knowledge about this type of stuff.
Im very excited! I am personally looking super forward to the story mode. Im not usually one to play online unless the games really fun like skullgirls and UMvC3 was for me.
I know a lot of people have been recently mentioning power adapters but those are hit or miss. Depends on the wiring of the house and is prone to interference from large appliances that are on the same line. Could end up even worse than wifi. (No I don't use wifi I use Ethernet)
I know I'm one of very few people who set their controls first in the beta based on what I was reading out there lmao. Can't wait. Can't wait! Idk what order I'm gonna do things. Idk how much I wanna learn jp before I play... I could see playing some as Ryu since I'm comfy with him while I learn jp, but it's day 1 I kinda don't wanna be that way. I don't care about rank it'd just be about having fun faster but I wanna be playing real matches asap! Have fun this Friday! Edit - I also gotta decide if I'm doing jp/manon like I planned or just rocking with jp until I try everyone out. We'll see! Only time will tell! Haha
Are ranks individual? I don’t want to rank up too high with my main and make it more difficult on the characters I don’t know (a problem I have with Strive)
Great tips! Hey what about doing a video with semi beginner tip? I am net to FGs... I started with KofXV and tied the demo for SF6 and Is hard in comparison... Im strugling with neutral and hit confirms
I been playing GG Strive to get my hands loose. For the first time I might main Chun. Either her or Manon and of course I'll have Gief as a pocket character.
Let's be real, you know us fgc types are just going straight into training mode first thing. Lmao However I'm super happy I watched this cause they actually have a toggle for negative edge that's kinda wild! Going to try and do some Chun combos for an hour like... why does this not work! However that's still a good feature for sf. Keep up the great work man! Much ❤!
Thanks for always bringing the hype and helpful insights! I’ve never played a SF game before, but the FGC is such a blast to watch that I want to get into SF6. It’s just, I don’t really vibe with anyone on the roster, in terms of personality and visuals. Maybe that’ll change with how they feel to play, or hopefully the future roster additions fix that.
I picked up the game and only played as cammy. I tried picking up someone else but it changed all my timing so Im sticking with cammy. But I played against a jmcroftsclub zangief online and I think he was AFK. And I perfected him. So I let him perfect me hahah all good and fun haha
Nice video. I have to say, however, that you must have said "anti-air" 10 times before I understood what you were talking about. My ears heard "antear," like "ant ear," and my brain was like, "Is he saying ant eater? Why would he be saying ant eater?" Then once you mentioned jumping, I got it. Are you from the Pacific Northwest? I had a student from Washington who had similar pronunciation.
The most surprising thing to me was I actually like guille, Honda and Dee Jay. All characters that I wasn't too interested in but they feel great but you can say that almost about every character Edit: Sorry I can't fulfill your wish with wired lan but I really have smooth games all the way maybe 3 out of 100 by now we're laggy
Yo JM, I’ve asked multiple accounts but no one seems cool enough to answer this question. Hoping you’re different: Are you using stock Perry and Drive Rush buttons, or have you set them to a single button on ur fight stick?
I have COX internet and my wired connection is way worse than my wireless due to something called gigablast? I can plug in my ethernet but my download time goes up DRAMATICALLY. When i play should i just plug in my console?
Will there be a way to change the XBox buttons to Playstation buttons? And don't tell me there isn't a way to do that because that would be very rude of Capcom to ignore that when they have so many accessibility options for us to choose from.
Before watching the video let me guess 1. Turn on your game system. 2. Insert SF VI Disc 3. Install game 4. Get yourself a drink and snack during the install 5. Have fun Sounds about right to me.
Any tips for learning multiple characters? I'm mostly an average player but once I pick a character I'm practically unable to change. My goal isn't to get to Master rank, just Plat-Diamond with a few of them to see if I can break this character shackle, lol. I played Bison since the start of SFV, tried to learn Zeku, G and Akira because they all looked coll to me... I failed miserably.
In general it's much easier to focus on one character! You can play multiple characters but just keep in mind it's gonna be more of a challenge to get wins
Where else other than the practice mode can you find bread and butter combos? Are there any recommended channels for each character? I never know how to punish; I usually end up just throwing or doing a raw super
Watching this video made me slightly sad because it reminded me why I had to take an indefinite hiatus from Strive: My internet connection. I fucking love the game. Played it to death, but at my current place I can't do ethernet and the wifi... yikes... maybe one day I'll be able to get back into it.

The easiest way to explain it: WiFi is not full duplex, which means it can not send and receive data at the same time. It alternates very quickly back and forth. Wired can of course send and receive at the same time so there is no delay
This is the best casual fgc channel.
He has a nice balance that’s very approachable for newcomers to the fgc yeah
This is the first time I've been hyped for/pre ordered a game since Cyberpunk 2077 (yes I know). Not since Alpha 3 and Third Strike have I been hyped to play Street Fighter.
Same here. Capcom finally put some love into a SF game lol
So many new players on wifi are gonna get dodged and not know why 💀
Didn't know about the button release input, didn't pay attention to that in the options in the demo. Great to know! Keep up the great work!
One reviewer said they were playing SF6 on a 1-bar WiFi connection, and had a good time. I’m almost certain his opponents didn’t 😂
Legitimately helpful checklist. Nice one.
Can't wait to play! Looking forward to your guides!
“The floor is lava!” 😂. When you’re playing a fighting game and a platformer at the same time.
First time I am awaiting a fighting game release date. No idea who I will main, hopefully those guides thingy will help! The one for Luke and Ryu from the demo were awesome, fingers crossed for the rest being on par!
don't feel bad if you can't get your ethernet cable plugged in. if you're rocking a solid modem/router, packet loss isn't going to ruin your experience. if you're also using a 5Ghz router that helps quite a bit.
Wifi signals can get interference from lots of things.
You might have the best dataplan, ISP and setup but without your fault get lots of interference from other sources like radio or radar.
Water blocks wifi. stand between your router and your device and your body will block the signal (not entirely because it also reflects of the walls around your room).
1:27 based jmcrofts letting that character select linger i see you my guy
Great tips.. I had no clue about the button release thing. I was wondering how I got special moves without hitting punch or kick. 🙏🏾
lmao I had to start laughing out loud when my man went the length to advertise a 4 dollar ethernet cable.
I'm still confused on what it is like 😭
@@e7thstar With "Negative Edge" ("Button Release Input" in SF6) on, special and super moves can be triggered on either a button press or a button release. This can help with tougher combos where you might not be able to physically press the necessary button multiple times in the timeframe.
As a basic "this is how it works," jmcrofts used a regular Hadoken as an example. (1:57)* He presses LP beforehand and keeps it held. The press itself isn't important here; it's just to make sure the button is down for the demonstration. Then he does the Hadoken directional motion ([236], or [Down, Down-Toward, Toward]), and then RELEASES LP. Because Button Release Input is on, the game sees the release, sees that jmcrofts input [236] before that, and recognizes that (ONLY for special move purposes) as [236LP]. Out comes the Hadoken.
If Button Release Input was off, it would do nothing. If jmcrofts didn't do the [236] first, then releasing LP does nothing, because Button Release Input is only for Special Moves, Overdrive Moves, and Super Arts. Normals, Unique Moves, basic Throw, and Drive Techniques don't count here.
For something closer to real world, consider the very basic combo [Crouching HP -> HP Hadoken]. Normally, that's done by pressing [2HP,36HP] ([Down+HP, Down-Toward, Toward+HP]). Two button presses, one on either side of the [Quarter Circle Forward} stick movement. (Yes, this is EASILY doable, but this is also an example, not a King Of Fighters XIII combo trial.)
But with Negative Edge (unfortunately you do need to get used to the synonyms), you can do this with ONE button press instead. Instead of pressing quickly twice, you hold HP on the crouching attack, finish the [236] motion, then release HP. I'm not sure how this is normally written in notation. (Maybe someone else can help?)
(At least, that's what I think you're confused about? I apologize if you meant something else.)
Side note: This is a similar concept to the "Half A Press" in the Super Mario 64 "A Button Challenge". (See ua-cam.com/video/kpk2tdsPh0A/v-deo.html for understanding there.) There's use to pushing a button down, there's use to holding it (sometimes, with some characters), and there's use to releasing the button.
* Ignore the Shin Shoryuken prompt at the top of the screen in the video. He chose something other than a Hadoken, so that he could do what he wants without the game stopping him. The demo won't let you go into actual training mode, so this is the workaround until the game comes out.
Can't wait for the new street fighter videos brotha!
Wi-Fi vs Ethernet - Regardless of how stable your connection, there is more jitter (latency variance) on Wi-Fi compared to wired. Your ping may be awesome on Wireless, but the jitter is comparatively worse which causes the instability other people are lamenting in your matches. It's also mainly out of your control, with most random interference being out of your control.
Go wired, even if it's inconvenient. You'll likely have a more enjoyable experience outside of giving a better FG experience to your opponents.
Can’t go back to wifi after switching. I tried once at my gf’s place and it’s just… not viable if you intend to test yourself even a little online.
I'd say you only HAVE to go wired of you plan on participating in tournaments and taking the game seriously. The experience with well made netplay will be indistinguishable from wired for 99% of players
@@Dasaltwarrior exactly, i know a lot of players think they're one step away from EVO while actually playing silver league, but even ranked matches really aren't some super hardcore thing that needs a 100% perfect dream connection. It's simply not that important. The elitism and toxicity you see from the FG community over this nonsense, and basically telling new players that they should rewire their house or don't play online, is a great way to ruin the unique opportunity SF6 provides to expand the SF playerbase.
@@Dasaltwarrior Yeah lmao I can guarantee you that most people playing people using wifi don't even realize their opponent is on wifi. Plus wifi has improved so much over the years that it's not even noticeable anymore with a good setup
With a good setup you cannot tell a difference. I've tested this with multiple of my friends and they were unable to notice any kind of difference in our matches. My jitter rate on my wifi is 15-18 ms and packet loss is 0%. You'd need a jitter rate of 30 or higher to have any issues. Wifi isn't how it used to be 10 years ago unless you're using archaic hardware
I would really love to see someone who is an actual networking expert go into real depth about wifi vs ethernet. I want to understand whether half duplex is actually a problem, what amount of jitter is to be expected, how much jitter results in how bad of an experience, etc.
Yeah there isn’t really a resource one can use to understand the nuances of this. I have a pretty nice wired setup but would still like to know
I think there isn't much technical attention paid to the subject because the core problem (which doesn't take a networking expert to understand) is that a lot of the variance is a result of environmental interference that the technology itself can't really address because of physics. There is _always_ going to be more interference in the air than a cable. What the performance impact of that jitter is will obviously vary game to game, but people who don't have to tolerate it won't.
here's a video from MikeZ (old school FGC guy and creator of Skull Girls) talking about the issue
ua-cam.com/video/yanKfSc1_Sc/v-deo.html
what other people don't understand is that wired or wireless means jackshit if your ISP performance is poor or all over the place.
internet speed means jackshit as well because of the same reasons. It's not just looking at which ISP you have either, but also how good is said ISP within the area you live in.
AT&T may be good in certain areas of the US, for example, but in some areas, Comcast may be better, or Verizon may be better, etc.
a lot of factors are taken into place when you want a stable connection and most people just think that high speed = stability and it is not always the case.
another issue with wifi these days, is it can actually be slower in practice these days than the old days because so many devices are using infrared signals that block the connection. if ur playing on wifi instead of wired, being conscientious of turned on devices can seriously improve your connection
Yo these are some great tips for any fighting game thanks bro
For anyone new to fighting games and genuine about improving
I highly advise you to go online right away. You don't need to worry about combos, trying to get a combo you're doing in training in a match leeds to frustration and panic. Concentrate on landing pokes and anti airs. After like an hour of matches, take note on the normals you land consistently and find conversions in training.
And remember, have fun.
I agree. Get your mechanics down so you can execute your moves but dont spend too much time in training mode. you need to pressure test it
1. Finding a BnB combo is my number one helpful tip for starting a fighting game. For the same reasons you said.
2. Go watch a video on how wifi actually works, and you'll be amazed it works at all. They also make cord hangers, so you don't have to trip over the wire.
Great video as always dude, also props to you my guy you look healthier 💪.
Coolness. This has help me last time I play street fighter IV aracade edition 2012 and looking forward to play Street Fighter 6 .
I'm SO excited for this game, and I was blessed enough to not get properly hyped before playing in the open beta, meaning I didn't have to wait too long. I was warming up with SFV for about a year prior and I like V fine enough, But VI just improved on EVERYTHING, and fixed so much that I was personally unsatisfied with in V. I feel like I can see a much clearer path to practicing and improving in a game like SF6 compared to a game like GGST, and I'm just excited to get started!
And hopefully we reach a day where saying "please play on a wired connection" isn't being considered controversial. If you want to play these games they're meant to be played, and if you don't want your opponent dipping after a single match, you gotta go wired.
For a completely casual/beginner, what is the best option for button release? And which are the easier characters to play? And which are the advanced to be avoided?
This will be my first Street Fighter game. It looks so good!
Very helpful video. Thanks for making it!
This man really just put me on screen when saying "don't play on wifi"
Do better
TIL Powerline Ethernet adapters are a thing. Thank Mr Crofts!!!
I'll plug 1 in just as soon as you buy me 1. Wifi warrior for life
The most important thing you can do before playing a set of SF6 IMO is actually changing a setting that was in the Betas and Demo build called "Input Delay Reduction". Iirc it was under "graphics" in the settings menu. It is off by default. The description text seemed to suggest you would need a pretty decent pc to make clean use of it, however.
I think it just disables V-Sync? I noticed screen tearing when I enabled it.
I’m not sure how it is supposed to actually reduce input delay. The gameplay update loop runs at 60hz and is separate from the graphic rendering loop. So even if you could run the game at 240fps, the controller/stick/keyboard input is still only going to be polled at 60hz.
@@TheCrewExpendable It's strange if that is the case because the game also has a separate option under Graphics to disable vsync.
best tip at the end... even great rollback can't fix bad wifi
For finding your bnb, I would recommend finding a discord server dedicated to your character. Im in the Jamie server and its very useful for knowledge about this type of stuff.
I’m just going straight to trials/practice with Chun and Kim.
Marisa has been giving me Duff City vibes so I think that’s who I’m running with, and of course Dee Jay.
Im very excited! I am personally looking super forward to the story mode. Im not usually one to play online unless the games really fun like skullgirls and UMvC3 was for me.
I know a lot of people have been recently mentioning power adapters but those are hit or miss. Depends on the wiring of the house and is prone to interference from large appliances that are on the same line. Could end up even worse than wifi.
(No I don't use wifi I use Ethernet)
Jm bout to blow up with all the new sf players buying 6, I believe
Of you struggle against a certain character you can boot up training mode. There you can see the tutorial to see their strengths and weaknesses.
This is a good list for beginners and experienced fighting game players alike.
I know I'm one of very few people who set their controls first in the beta based on what I was reading out there lmao.
Can't wait. Can't wait! Idk what order I'm gonna do things. Idk how much I wanna learn jp before I play... I could see playing some as Ryu since I'm comfy with him while I learn jp, but it's day 1 I kinda don't wanna be that way. I don't care about rank it'd just be about having fun faster but I wanna be playing real matches asap!
Have fun this Friday!
Edit - I also gotta decide if I'm doing jp/manon like I planned or just rocking with jp until I try everyone out. We'll see! Only time will tell! Haha
Great guide and easy to understand. Could you do a world tour fast travel guide I need to find them all
AMAZING SF6 on PS4, THANK YOU VERY MUCH CAPCOM
Amaizing Cammy
New here! unlocks in 10 minutes WOOOO!
Are ranks individual? I don’t want to rank up too high with my main and make it more difficult on the characters I don’t know (a problem I have with Strive)
Yes. Different rank per character
JM Crofts: It's a good idea to stick with one character at first.
Punk: Hold my rayyynndom select...bot.
Great tips!
Hey what about doing a video with semi beginner tip?
I am net to FGs... I started with KofXV and tied the demo for SF6 and Is hard in comparison...
Im strugling with neutral and hit confirms
Could you make a video explaining what negative edge can be used for?
Thanks for making these informative videos.
Remember to put the NefTech on your fight stick. #1 thing I'll do haha
I been playing GG Strive to get my hands loose.
For the first time I might main Chun. Either her or Manon and of course I'll have Gief as a pocket character.
great advice and entertaining!
Ive always hated Charge characters but my guy, in those betas i had BY FAR the most fun with Guile and Chun-li. Two characters ive never really playn.
Let's be real, you know us fgc types are just going straight into training mode first thing. Lmao
However I'm super happy I watched this cause they actually have a toggle for negative edge that's kinda wild! Going to try and do some Chun combos for an hour like... why does this not work! However that's still a good feature for sf.
Keep up the great work man! Much ❤!
Thanks for always bringing the hype and helpful insights! I’ve never played a SF game before, but the FGC is such a blast to watch that I want to get into SF6.
It’s just, I don’t really vibe with anyone on the roster, in terms of personality and visuals. Maybe that’ll change with how they feel to play, or hopefully the future roster additions fix that.
Can't wait!! Blanka in 2 1/2 days!!!!
First street fighter game ever pretty much. Hopefully I get the hang of it quick :P
2:35 so if you can turn off negative edge, does that mean that the game won't ever have zonk moves?
Thank you for these tips!
Been watching since your DBFZ videos. Hope you blow up even more with the release of this game!
I picked up the game and only played as cammy. I tried picking up someone else but it changed all my timing so Im sticking with cammy. But I played against a jmcroftsclub zangief online and I think he was AFK. And I perfected him. So I let him perfect me hahah all good and fun haha
As a Gamer who only has a Nintendo console and Xbox. Really glad to see Street Fighter 6 on Xbox.
Enjoy these videos. But I usually find all the setting issues before starting. It’s almost automatic.
I played on the beta with wifi and am now playing on Ethernet with the real game 100% agree
Nice video. I have to say, however, that you must have said "anti-air" 10 times before I understood what you were talking about. My ears heard "antear," like "ant ear," and my brain was like, "Is he saying ant eater? Why would he be saying ant eater?" Then once you mentioned jumping, I got it. Are you from the Pacific Northwest? I had a student from Washington who had similar pronunciation.
The most surprising thing to me was I actually like guille, Honda and Dee Jay.
All characters that I wasn't too interested in but they feel great but you can say that almost about every character
Edit:
Sorry I can't fulfill your wish with wired lan but I really have smooth games all the way maybe 3 out of 100 by now we're laggy
Yo JM, I’ve asked multiple accounts but no one seems cool enough to answer this question. Hoping you’re different: Are you using stock Perry and Drive Rush buttons, or have you set them to a single button on ur fight stick?
The 5th tip is most important
I have COX internet and my wired connection is way worse than my wireless due to something called gigablast? I can plug in my ethernet but my download time goes up DRAMATICALLY. When i play should i just plug in my console?
Will there be a way to change the XBox buttons to Playstation buttons? And don't tell me there isn't a way to do that because that would be very rude of Capcom to ignore that when they have so many accessibility options for us to choose from.
@jmcrofts I'm BEGGING YOU: what is the name of the song you use as the background for your intros?
Going crazy here trying to find it!
Sf6 smash and grab
@@jmcrofts Gods be blessed THANK YOU!
Before watching the video let me guess 1. Turn on your game system. 2. Insert SF VI Disc 3. Install game 4. Get yourself a drink and snack during the install 5. Have fun Sounds about right to me.
Any tips for learning multiple characters? I'm mostly an average player but once I pick a character I'm practically unable to change. My goal isn't to get to Master rank, just Plat-Diamond with a few of them to see if I can break this character shackle, lol. I played Bison since the start of SFV, tried to learn Zeku, G and Akira because they all looked coll to me... I failed miserably.
In general it's much easier to focus on one character! You can play multiple characters but just keep in mind it's gonna be more of a challenge to get wins
Where else other than the practice mode can you find bread and butter combos? Are there any recommended channels for each character? I never know how to punish; I usually end up just throwing or doing a raw super
Still can't decide who I'm maining although I'm eyeing Marisa or maybe Dee Jay
Watching this video made me slightly sad because it reminded me why I had to take an indefinite hiatus from Strive: My internet connection. I fucking love the game. Played it to death, but at my current place I can't do ethernet and the wifi... yikes...
maybe one day I'll be able to get back into it.
Make a short with the wired cable part, this must trend.
Thanks!
What is your take on Standard and Crowded objects settings?
I couldn't tell during the demo
JM, this is a good list and I hate to have to call you out like this, but I'm pretty sure if you select Ken you are ONLY able to play on wifi.
