Capcom will never actually nerf their poster boy, only make him *slightly* less op. Luke is the street fighter equivalent of a trust fund baby with this priveledge lol
he's got a 2-touch on all characters except marisa, gief and honda (at least with what i found) if you jump a throw or something in the corner with jHK/P - c.HP - (p)M.flash knuckle - dr HP - (p)H.flash knuckle, safe jump bait the reversal into the same combo at the end (with an extra loop of c.HP - drc - 4HK from less meter used from the first combo). also fairly reliable to come across
of course bro i gotchu! i have a few tips myself for how to do it. that lv3 link is fr cursed literally took me months before i nailed it the first time... it's probably best to first describe exactly what's happening during the sequence so you at least know what to aim for. it goes: 1. 2.HP cancelled into 2. a perfect light knuckle, then 3. forward jump into 5MP which is then 4. cancelled into a non-charged air flash knuckle. 5. LV3/CA i only got the link the first time once i really understood the nuances behind the fourth point. tldr there are two main reasons this link is so annoying: A. you can't cancel the MP as soon as the game will let you. you have to cancel into the air knuckle at the last possible frame (or very close to it). B. you can't release air knuckle until it has charged for a duration that is 1-2 (maybe 3 but i wouldnt push it) frames BEFORE turning into a charged air knuckle. the timing will be practically identical to doing a regular grounded flash knuckle and charging it just long enough that it doesn't become a perfect knuckle. if you keep this in mind and observe the red flash during the air MP and just keep practicing it will hopefully be a bit easier. lastly, i'll give you a visual cue that also helps a lot--your lv3 will NOT connect unless your opponent is either at the tippy top of their upwards arc, or still on the way up to it. if they are even somewhat falling when lv3 activates you can pretty much kiss the round goodbye bc youre getting punished for the whiff. if you practice enough you'll be able to guess what their trajectory will be at the moment that you activate super, and at that point all you do is buffer the quarter circles without the punch/kicks and depending on how good your air knuckie is, either lv3 or lv1. lv1 is practically guaranteed to connect if you practice your delays, even if theyre not perfect enough for lv3 also just cuz you seem like the hiomie, here's a random tip to get a perfect flash knuckle more consistently. i've been dying to tell somebody about it, so I guess you're the guy! let me know if im insane or it actually works if you do end up trying it :) But yeah when you cancel 2.HP into any perfect knuckle, sound this out in your head. * *2.HP is pressed* * "I'M," * *cancel into knuckle & hold* * "TOO..." * *release, and watch luke say:* * "PERFECT!" it's a bit hard to describe how the "too" sounds over text but if you play around with it I think you'll discover the timing as well. it's a bit hard to un-hear, personally LOL. anyways, best of luck my friend! and feel free to hit me up for anything else :D i appreciate you checking out my content
@@__m4k1__ Oh wow! An astonishingly in-depth tutorial there! A lot more than I expected! Big thanks! I had a bit of a misunderstanding since I used the combo trial as a reference point. I thought it was a link of how long to charge the air knuckle in comparison to cancelling it later. Just thinking of it like any version of perfect knuckle. One thing I DO know quite well is how slow the startup of his level 3 is. I've tried to anti air on reaction and he just bumps into their block like a total moron lmfao, which is weird because people think it's a command grab and get snatched while jumping if I do it on wakeup. Luke's perfect knuckles are surprisingly some of the easiest things for me to get for some reason? It's why I've played him so long honestly. Maybe we could do some friendlies or something! I'm happy to learn more SF6 stuff!
slight update: parrying wakeup OD shoryuken instead of wakeup CA also gives enough drive gauge to kill ryu in this situation. it's actually not as circumstancial as I thought!
0 damage since you start it with a light punch and do a super unoptimal DRC loop, for all the gauge and two meters of super you should be able to do 50% + optimally
I don't remember Plat 1 players being THIS bad, but it's not exactly difficult to climb to Diamond these days so I imagine the bar is a lot lower now. Ain't played in months but maybe it's time to come back.
@@studentoflife8532 Well, I mean it's not quite that easy. Win streak bonus stops once you clear Gold and it's 6k points from Plat 1 to Diamond 1. You'd need to streak about 110 wins to clear it in one shot, assuming you never lost a match.
forgot to add, but if they also have a reversal fast enough to hit the oicho then that's something to consider for the reset as well--especially once you've done them dirty once and they're slick enough to both expect it and actively counter it. i haven't seen this once in gold rank which makes sense but i imagine mid platinum or higher it will start to become an active problem. but yea in that case id prob just block and then go into the same sequence but with the reset and then see if they have the balls to DP/super a second time lolol
As a top 1100 blanka main, your best friend against ball is projectiles. Sand blast comes out fast enough that I can’t react and slide under like I can against hadoken. Keep blanka full screen with projectiles and capitalize when he tries to close the gap. Trying to interrupt blanka ball with a normal can be risky, because I can use the short version and then punish the normal. The same goes for dp and the tackle. Blanka wants you to try and beat heavy ball, so he can open you up for even more damage.
This is some scummy mentality, trying to visually mess your opponent up has always been frowned upon so I doubt you will see anyone professional trying to do this. This is like trying to yell when being hit or mashing random buttons with no key binding. In my opinion it's still really easy to tell he's using DI and you're just hurting yourself by using a skin you think is ugly. -Green Luke Enjoyer
Its not that uncommon, leffen just won evo in strive using the orange pallete for happy chaos, which he says he uses because it makes dust (overhead thats marked by an orange glow) harder to see.
