when you hold melee and just walk towards someone your sprint gets disengaged and if someone uses some movement action or just starts booking it, it's hard to stick to them so it's better at times to hit your melee's, let go and sprint, make sure your in decent range and then continue again.
@@ronecf2205if you play on toggle sprint you gotta hold melee for a little bit too, can’t just tap it. Def gotta feel the rhythm for both settings so you don’t cancel the throw
The reason he is sprinting between melees is because sprinting cancels the end of the animation of the throws once you have those charged up. This allows you to attack more quickly.
That is one of the hardest comps to play against as Cap and you nailed it. I've been wondering how you'd deal with it as I've been struggling against it in Diamond. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you so much for these vids, you are teaching me how to harass with the shield throw. I've built this tendency to use it after a 1, 2, 3, shield throw, charge in order to burst down healers quickly, I never really distract with it.
@@thinho9003Yes but the best Caps animation cancel. Watch JC's tip video on it. You can decrease that combo time by around 1-2 seconds which often ends up being the difference between getting a kill or not. It's crazy the difference it makes.
This is a very tricky matchup, Could go either way. Groot/Hulk duo is worst to deal with even more than a Peni, as she's usually seting up positions and playing in her web, once she's in a spot she's stationary. Groot and Hulk? They're very mobile and are going to PUSH at you and your team all the time, the pressure is constant. Cap can't out damage them, even less if they're being pocketed by healers. In these cases i try to focus on the backline but it doesn't always goes according to play. Mad props to your team for healing.
Ty for including your thoughts on the fight during key moments. Really helps to see whats going through your head during moments where the play might not be obvious. Also ty for the tip on healing ult charge, never thought of that.
I had initially got put onto Cap and realized just how fun he was by supertf and stumbled upon you because I saw a youtube short about you! You’re an awesome player man and hopefully through your videos I can utilize Cap much better!
I truly wish they would update his dive, if you can get over the top of a flyer and dive down on them. You should be able to drag them to the ground. It only makes sense. They had the same issue in deadlock with lash, and they quickly fixed it.
Same, the other day I was really annoyed at the enemy iron so I just threw my shield while he was flying fast, even tho I didnt know how much health he had and killed him.
the fact no dps went wolvie with the amount of tank pressure u got is horrendous. Top rank ego is too much, wolvie would have decimated them p.s i meant that curry's team didn't go wolverine
But Wolverine isn’t even crazy good into cap cause he can just run away. It’s not like Wolverine kidnapping any of the other tanks with limited movement
Heya curry, am currently celest 2 cap main and I need some advice on maining cap. It feels tiring sometimes to play cap due to the shield throw cancel tech, and he feels so worthless sometimes against cloak or invis. You got any advice on maining him?
Awesome...I would like it if you talked about what you were thinking at the time...also even more so if you broke it down to us like we are 10 year olds at camp...like when to shield, micro and macro strategy...what buttons to press, when and why...anyway still great content...you are an excellent player.
Ive been purposefully practicing blocking ultimates. Reflected a Magneto ultimate the other day, then tried to time Iron Mans ultimate and got dusted lol
I had the reverse happen in the last week. I missed a Mag ult the other night, but a few days back Iron Man tried to ult my team while his team was holding the choke on the Yggdrasil path; I managed to block it, and it deflected into his team. XD I don't think I've ever been so happy in a game of Rivals.
Yoo subbed to you 2 days ago and started watching all your vids! Got a chance to play him today and went to gm3 from diamond 2 today no losses! Ty for all the great tips :)
The one thing I notice here, if I did this, the rest of team has died and I have zero backup and everyone focuses on me and melts me. Yes, this is great strategy. But you have to have at least a compentent team.
@yb1465 yea your "E" (Shield Throw) is the one of the few abilities is better to hit on target cuz it does more damage but for example your Slam as Captin America doesn't need to be in the center on the target. It doesn't do more damage like venom's slam for example his does more damage if u land right on them
Disclaimer as I’m only plat so take my advice with a grain of salt, but you have to play very evasive. Don’t hard commit to a dive. Play very baitey. Dive somewhere where you have cover to walk to with your shield. Maybe they chase you, maybe you evade them with movement. Play the objective, where they have to fight you. Play around healthpacks, they’re your best friend. Cover is also your best friend.
for spiderman just hold shield and have teammates pick him off. black panther shouldnt be attacking you as captain america (since BP is used for attacking groups and cap shouldnt be grouped up with others), so if a BP is attacking tou they’re not that good
I played a game as cap today against 3 tanks 1 dps 2 healers and it was the most unplayable shit I’ve experienced on the game so far. They sat with 4 on point all of OT and we couldnt get them off the cart because my team was ulting one by one
I like how you have little tips and reasons for why you are doing what you are doing throughout the game and don't just games from your stream and call it content
One of these days they will let melee (meaning hitting the melee button not primary fire) not trigger the slam in mid air. There are so many times when youre mid fight and one of 8 abilities knocks you slightly into the air and all if the sudden i have wasted a valuable resource and worse case your slam took you far from where you were wanting to be.
Actually cap has a pretty decent counter to invis in the form of ricocheting the shield throw(ability) off the ground when you hear footsteps close by, should target them if jts close enough and break the invis
I just mean more in the sense that she can cycle her pull, jump (both very low cooldowns) and shield to save her own backline and escape very easily, pair that in a triple supp comp and its tough
@ its not that he can deal damage but he can distract them from healing their team, and that you can 1v3 triple support comps as long as those 2 characters I mentioned arent on teh table
Hey JC. Your Cap play and tutorial videos inspired me to main Cap as vanguard. Quick question, do you ever use those combos other Cap players showcase like "jump/dive, leftclick, shield bash, leftclick, shield throw, leftclick"? Or is it exclusively run-cancel/left click spamming?
You want to cycle your mobility cooldowns, only use them both on a target if you're extremely confident that you'll either get the kill or know you'll be safe without them. Even then, I wouldn't really use dash for damage since it's so low and hard to aim with, often just overshooting you away from the target
Honestly 3 supports instantly healing all of caps dmg feels so aids, would p r o b a b l y be a decent nerf if the more supports you have on a team, the weaker the healing output is
Youll just have to adjust how deep you dive the supports, you might not kill them but youll take their eyes off their teammates who might get picked off by a teammate
It def has impacted me. What i see specially in domination games is 1 tank 3 sups combo, tank takes the front aided by 2 supports who are good at dealing damage like Luna/Mantis, while a 3rd support stays behind those healing the supports as needed, someone with high mobility like rocket or jeff. Annoying asf composition to deal with.
How do you feel about Cap's shield size when blocking ults like Magneto's and Iron Man's? Do you think it should be little bit bigger or have some kind of extremely small suck in effect? I usually feel like that a lot of times when I try to for example jump to reach an ult, there's just that small lag serverside which makes that almost an impossibility. Then again what I've only recently learned from your videos is that instead of trying to react to the ult by looking at it, you usually react by thinking where they want to throw it (usually healers/squishies), after which you run to them and keep your ground there. Do you feel like that counteracts the situation I was presenting earlier?
IF ONLY CAP COULD SHIELD DURING HIS LONG JUMPS WOULD DEF MAKE HIM ALOT BETTER FOR SURVIVABILITY
They just have to make the shield actually block when you walk back
@@monkeyman1437 that's a bug btw
@@EverythingRivalsPro that’s why they have to fix it
Fr i could deflect so many more ults if I could
He need that and a better shield too tbh.
I'm laughing at the fact at 13:07 you become the proud owner of the MK's ankh and not a single person realizes it after.
is there some kind of tech with sprinting + punching? it seems like you stick to people better than i do when i play cap
I think you might sprint too quick and you probably dont fully send your shield throws. That was what I learned when I saw his guide on Cap
when you hold melee and just walk towards someone your sprint gets disengaged and if someone uses some movement action or just starts booking it, it's hard to stick to them so it's better at times to hit your melee's, let go and sprint, make sure your in decent range and then continue again.
@@ronecf2205Tell me more. Because I feel like this is my Cap lol

That Groot was fuming 8:31 😂😂
The satisfaction I felt when I threw my shield at a flying enemy and KO them mid-air. I play on console.
Same, the other day I was really annoyed at the enemy iron so I just threw my shield while he was flying fast, even tho I didnt know how much health he had and killed him.
Never thought about staying out of spawn to let healers get ult charge, nice one
The amount of hours and gameplay you put in on cap is unbelievable brother truly.
the fact no dps went wolvie with the amount of tank pressure u got is horrendous. Top rank ego is too much, wolvie would have decimated them
p.s i meant that curry's team didn't go wolverine
Fr lol the minute wolverine is not banned you’ll see him
But Wolverine isn’t even crazy good into cap cause he can just run away. It’s not like Wolverine kidnapping any of the other tanks with limited movement
@@brycenb2994i think they meant curry's team going wolv vs their hulk and groot
I've been dying to suicide Wolverines lately as Cap. @@brycenb2994
they swapped punisher which does a similar thing, but can also shoot iron man. not a bad swap
I honestly learn so much just from watching your gameplay, keep em coming!
I love when you feel like your losing a fight on cap but you’re actually just doing your job perfectly 😂
The slow piano music in the back is what does it for me lol
Thank you for the captions at the bottom explaining the plays very helpful
title of video checks out. that was fun to watch tbh
I enjoy the quick comment tips and thought process’ you throw up.
Watching the enemy Iron Man float 2 inches away from your team and not die, at this high elo, is just depressing
U realize he’s in cloak ult right?
@Y2kNash The entire match?
Hearing lofi while watching spongebob smack ppl with a shield is peak content
i'm inspired by your gameplay the last fight u played great peeling and in the right moment diving the back line.
Been having so much fun playing Cap thanks to you bro. Appreciate it!
2:18 this so clean and need skills to do it
Heya curry, am currently celest 2 cap main and I need some advice on maining cap. It feels tiring sometimes to play cap due to the shield throw cancel tech, and he feels so worthless sometimes against cloak or invis. You got any advice on maining him?
The Gamma teamup looks so obnoxious to play against but you made it look easy. Keep it up!
Your Cap is always a joy to watch
You continue to be an inspiration with the little helpful tidbits you include during the fights and such
I started playing cap people reactions to seeing my cap lore is so funny thanks for making me a good cap player

How much more fun is cap when you have the Thor team up ? I would think it would be huge so I’m curious
did you reflect a groot ult at 3:24...? I didnt realize that was possible hah.
He did it twice, called in voice chat and wrote it in the subtitles
I couldn't believe it at first, had to watch on lower speed to see shield health pop up for some milliseconds. Increadible read on game.
Looks like this was when the walking backwards with caps shield up glitch was happening 😂 so glad that’s over
Yoo subbed to you 2 days ago and started watching all your vids! Got a chance to play him today and went to gm3 from diamond 2 today no losses! Ty for all the great tips :)
Your Cap guide and videos helped me Alot just hit Lord on my cap and gold Rank 1
Is the bug still there with caps shield up while walking backward not blocking projecticles?
I think so.
Happens yo me all the time. I try to side walk while blocking to avoid this, then do a jump 180 dash to escape
yes Hawkeye killed me through mine earlier while i was tryna back up into a health pack, not cool.
@isaacstanb8886 i die so.much to a hawkeye arrow when going backwards.
Yes
Lore accurate Captain America 🤣😭😂 carrying his team to victory
Yo bro i learned/ still learning how to play capt and legit I'm getting called insane captain america /best captain america thx bro
Actually the goat cap thanks for all the content, guides, and advice mad luv
If I had a team this good I could probably tear it up like this too.
Awesome gameplay as always dude! I need to see you play against a Peni lol I’ve always been screwed over playing against her! 😭
Nah leave Penni alone 😭😭 she’s all I know I don’t wanna people to counter her lol
I hope to god Peni gets nerfed shes way too overpowered rn
@ 😐 how she’s soooo easy to counter
@ watch cringealarm and premo and you will see what i mean, she is one of the best characters in the game
just got cpt america movie advert on this xd
Your sensitivity is insane
The one thing I notice here, if I did this, the rest of team has died and I have zero backup and everyone focuses on me and melts me.
Yes, this is great strategy. But you have to have at least a compentent team.
Awesome gameplay!
i swear ur shield throw does more dmg than mine
If u land your E directly on them it does more damage
@@omar_s.a.s620 so you're basically telling him to aim ... got it

Only problem i have when i play Cap, is the healers not being too great at healing.. you had great healers
My biggest complaint with this channel is that you didn't drop these gems when the Galactic Talon skin was in the store 😭. I need it!
Man your DPS were cosmetic
you have showed me the way. Captain America is too much fun running around smacking healers and having other tanks chase like its dead by daylight.
Christ bless you and thank you bro for inspiring me to play Cap
awesome play man! do you have any tip on how to deal with spider man and black panther with cap? i struggle so much with them
for spiderman just hold shield and have teammates pick him off. black panther shouldnt be attacking you as captain america (since BP is used for attacking groups and cap shouldnt be grouped up with others), so if a BP is attacking tou they’re not that good
getting double stunned in groot ult is nasty

Triple sup for you
Does he stay in psylocke ult to make her do less damage to the healers?
Ur hela not focusing the iron man is insane

1:36 why would you focus the healers just because they lack a strange/magneto? Wanting to know for advice.
The amount of defense those two can provide for healers is able to mitigate any damage the cap can maybe do.
I was hard stuck gold now I’m plat 1 with Cap
Youre not doing much differently than me but the rest of your team seems competent too and i wish i had that.
That's what I keep running into too lol. He's got great healers an people that understand their role. I never get that 😢

Crazy fight 😮
Dang yall were playing against someone in Moreno Valley ca that’s a dirty place in Cali lmao JS 😂😂
the best cap i ever seen
Hey JC. Your Cap play and tutorial videos inspired me to main Cap as vanguard. Quick question, do you ever use those combos other Cap players showcase like "jump/dive, leftclick, shield bash, leftclick, shield throw, leftclick"? Or is it exclusively run-cancel/left click spamming?
I’d say exclusively use run-cancel with some shield throws and slam. Save either your dash or your slam per dive for mobility
You want to cycle your mobility cooldowns, only use them both on a target if you're extremely confident that you'll either get the kill or know you'll be safe without them. Even then, I wouldn't really use dash for damage since it's so low and hard to aim with, often just overshooting you away from the target
Not JapaneseCurry, but general rule of thumb is never use both his slam and F for dmg/engage, use one and save the other to run
that iron man was getting so much free damage in
Give cap a cannonball shield ability
How did you have the electric charge and Thor wasn’t even on your team?
Love your stuff
I wonder does cap tall enough to break Loki’s lamp🤔?
you said since they don't have strange/mag u focus healers, who would u focus if they did have a strange or mag?
“How to make cap look broken”
Gets locked out by triple support. Dive is so hurting right now its unfair
Honestly 3 supports instantly healing all of caps dmg feels so aids, would p r o b a b l y be a decent nerf if the more supports you have on a team, the weaker the healing output is
Is cap hurt by the triple support Meta or does it help? There are more squishes to dive but at the same time they help each other.
It seems like they can just out heal any dmg he does
Youll just have to adjust how deep you dive the supports, you might not kill them but youll take their eyes off their teammates who might get picked off by a teammate
It def has impacted me. What i see specially in domination games is 1 tank 3 sups combo, tank takes the front aided by 2 supports who are good at dealing damage like Luna/Mantis, while a 3rd support stays behind those healing the supports as needed, someone with high mobility like rocket or jeff. Annoying asf composition to deal with.
I wish we could build ult faster, but i realize we'd then be part of the problem
How do you feel about Cap's shield size when blocking ults like Magneto's and Iron Man's? Do you think it should be little bit bigger or have some kind of extremely small suck in effect? I usually feel like that a lot of times when I try to for example jump to reach an ult, there's just that small lag serverside which makes that almost an impossibility. Then again what I've only recently learned from your videos is that instead of trying to react to the ult by looking at it, you usually react by thinking where they want to throw it (usually healers/squishies), after which you run to them and keep your ground there. Do you feel like that counteracts the situation I was presenting earlier?
If it were to be increased, I'm literally talking about like millimeters. More than that and it would probably be super OP.
THE GOAT
Was the damage around 2:50 coming from the groot wall?
I think so too
Funniest tank prove me wrong
I noticed your ability icons are in a different order than mine. Why is that?
I have sprint on all the time is that a bad thing? I notice you walk a lot
I’m battling solo q’s to get from gold 1 to platinum for a week now I’m definitely the problem ?
The 🧢🐐.....SENPAI!!!!💪🏿💪🏿
Why is the Cap of all people in charge of the Iron Man? Teammates made that harder than it hard to be
Because they have hulk/groot in their face, you gotta step in their shoes
im amazed nobody went wolverine
I like tips in these vids
Can he go sharing the meta tho
Do you only use shield bash as an escape?
yeah, you should always have either shield bash or ground slam ready to be used to retreat. shield bash can be used for comboing but it’s not worth it
Bro we might need longer vids icl you ain’t even gotta edit it
