This is the first video in a series I'm calling "3-Minute Fundamentals", where I cover aspects of competitive Street Fighter play in the span of (approx.) 3 minutes time.
Hit-confirming is the act of giving your mind enough time to react to a situation.
Instead of going for an unsafe combo and hoping it'll connect, ideally you would leave "mental padding" in the form of quick normal attacks that can be linked together, which will give the mind the time to process whether your attacks are connecting or being blocked.
If the attacks land, you can then go into a damaging combo, and if the attacks are blocked, you aren't forced to guess with a highly punishable maneuver.
Song is "Speed Dry Manglehead" from the Jump Britain OST, by Ian Masterson & Thomas Beach.

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

@acidglow Your comments here mis-inform. Not every characters best normals are jabs, Abel for instance has some tough links which involve step kick and fierce. Also, simply doing combos with jabs does not make them hit-confirms. Perhaps 3 minutes is not enough, and we should do a 30 minute tutorial instead?

@ocping 14 лет назад

Great vid. The only "rule of thumb" is use a jab/short string YOU yourself can react and combo CONSISTENTLY from =) 1 jab is hard to react (for those of us with godly reaction times), 2 jab is the norm, 3 is great but do keep in mind that damage scaling will reduce the damage for 3-jab-hit-confirmed combos. Also with 3 jab-confirms the opponent might be too far away from the block-pushback and your next link/combo might whiff.

@SolidSonicTH 12 лет назад

Oddly, I learned this principle from an SVC Chaos BradyGames strategy guide. I always kind of had a feel for the thought process of safe combo creation but seeing it written and explained in full made the whole concept come together.

@NuclearConvoy 12 лет назад

Thanks for these videos, i love fighting games but never had much of anyone to play against who was any good and i couldnt really get better against the computer. I heard and read people using these terms but had no idea what they meant. When I finally get a new system with online play i'll certainly take this knowledge with me.

@kevaughn69 14 лет назад

This was EXCELLENTLY done. I've been playing fighting games for years and although I've already learnt this through battle, you've done BEAUTIFULLY in illustrating the theory. You've not only shown how, you've shown when; Fight science and it's applicable context. As a fighter, I can't salute you enough. Well done, sir. Obviously 3 ppl hit-confirm when they shouldn't and 2 just can't do it at all. :-p

@Rotsch006 14 лет назад

@vnano what i get watching this... to put it simple, when you attack 2 things happens: you hit or you get blocked hit confirm is knowing when you hit, so you can do combos, and not to do them when you are blocked or you'll get countered. so... you must do small jabs to link combos, if you hit, you go for a big combo, if blocked you do something else. the 0:35 example shows this perfectly

@GardioxNebilim 14 лет назад

@Sawta 10 лет назад

Nice breakdown! Really helped me understand what it is that I'm trying to do. :)

@LeHeartly 11 лет назад

Yes, that's right. As Max was saying earlier, he was buffering the Super input within the crouching fierce's frames of animation. Because of this, the Super will never occur unless the fierce connects because the Super will cancel the remaining frames of that attack, which won't happen if the attack doesn't connect. You can't call this a confirm exactly, but using a 2-in-1 combo (like crouching medium kick canceled into hadouken) for footsies instead (in this matchup, long range footsies).

@darksidehavok 14 лет назад

to any1 who still doesn't get what hit confirmation is basically u use normals as the start of or continuance of your combo, keeping in mind that u are looking 2 see if they are hitting your opponent. if they are hitting then u continue with more attacks. if they are blocking then u should react accordingly (block, throw, FADC).

@Anfmethodjor 14 лет назад

the video quality is outstanding.

@golem2154 9 лет назад

Very informative, thanks for the video.

@Jebusjoose 14 лет назад

@vnano I'll explain it to you without using a fancy video: Hit confirming is simply using a hit string to link into special moves, instead of jumping in and using one move to link into a special move. This allows more time to react to your opponent. If your hit string is blocked, you'll be able to react and not continue into your special move (where you'll be punished). If you didn't hit confirm, you'd throw out a random blocked, punishable special.

@Zero1Zero1 14 лет назад

@vnano Hit confirm is basically doing a couple of light attacks before something else (eg a dragon punch). If you see them block the two light attacks, throw them instead. If you notice the light attacks are connecting, then cancel into special, super or whatever.

@Jacob.Streiff 14 лет назад

i have a contribution to make... the only time you would hit confirm after an opponent has for example whiffed a heavy shoryuken (as shown in your video) is when using a charge chartacter. you may need to hit confirm to give yourself time for a charge.... example, balrog is standing and blockeds a shoryuken near the end of the round, he would then need to crouching jab jab short (to load the down charge) headbutt > ultra

@Lahtinen87 12 лет назад

@jamduke 13 лет назад

@vnano If you hit, then you don't go straight into a risky attack (which might be more powerful), instead you use a less risky attack which still combos. This gives you more time to think and see his reaction: if he blocks it, you can still run away before he counterattacks, but if he isn't blocking it, you're free to continue comboing him...

@Textrosity 13 лет назад

6 and more in the future. That is the number of people who didn't hit confirm and got punished. Hard.

@LeviathanCove 11 лет назад

good advice, hit confirms i think are easy to overlook for beginners (ie. me).

@halonight0 14 лет назад

makes sense, it kinda made it it more easy for me to understand wuht im doing lol thanks for uploading!

@LeHeartly 11 лет назад

(cont.) You can, however, confirm off one hit. For instance, you have enough time to confirm into a max punish from a heavy jump-in attack because of the amount of hitstun they inflict. Certain moves on counter hit require you to confirm on the first hit to combo from. An example would be Ken's step kick, which can combo into fierce DP on CH. Dudley's overhead (f+HK) is another move you can confirm from that single hit alone. A key to this is anticipation dramatically heightens reaction speed.

@M0HAK0 14 лет назад

THANK YOU SO MUCH! wow that makes alot of sense. i really need to use this for my chunli and C viper sense i wanna be able to use 3 more people besides ryu thank you so much im subscribing to your vids. :)

@MaxKanisha 11 лет назад

He buffered the super after throwing out the crouch fierce. At that range, you can only hit Dhalsim's limbs, so it's safe to buffer the super. If the crouch fierce hits, it will cancel into super. If not, then you'll just whiff a crouch fierce.

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

@iraqisarmad For cross-up air fireball? You use Jab (Light Punch). Any other punch fireball will not hit them at all. If you're talking about hit-confirming or in general...well. Light attacks do less damage, but come out faster and are safer on block as a result.

@assmasin6 14 лет назад

thx dude awesome vids as usual

@protodevilin 14 лет назад

@hxzxxl They both do the same intial attack (Demon Flip into dive kick), but the guy on the right follows up by hit-confirming a few crouching jabs, BEFORE finishing up with Tatsu > Shoryuken. The guy on the left instead goes for a standing HP > Tatsu > Shoryuken, which does more damage, but is not as safe and could be punished if blocked.

@beachcomba 11 лет назад

very imformative video!

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

@goldenbalz Option Selects are definitely on the menu, way ahead of you. Damage scales back in percentages, the more hits added to larger percentage of scaling, thus starting off with multiple light attacks make the following special moves do less damage and nerf the combo.

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

@iam7617115 Yeah I couldn't really go in depth with this since it was three minutes but, start-up invincibility on the ultra and other moves play a large part in this being punished. I still use block strings with fireballs, but I was just demonstrating that they aren't true block strings, and if you become predictable, they can use an invincible move to go through the fireball.

@reyco1987 12 лет назад

@lxoquendo For cross-up fireball, I just jump, then do fireball. You can use tigerknee shortcuts as well, but I find them not as precise. D, DF, F, UF, F + PUNCH The Cross-up Tatsu is hard to say, just practice man. All about feeling.

@JoeBlunt 12 лет назад

great videos!

@ecchirebirth 11 лет назад

Here's what I don't understand ... if I'm understanding this, you're basically stopping everything and watching a movement that occurs in the space of half a second, if that, to know whether or not to continue. To actually be that fast, to have that kind of mental processing, does not seem like a skill, it seems like a gift, either you can or you can't.

@daric_ 8 лет назад

Thanks for the vid. I find that hit confirming with Houten is a bit difficult since I can do short x3 or jab x3, for example, but it doesn't really combo easily into a hadouken or palm. I'm still trying to work this out.

@skiie 12 лет назад

I will say your taste in music is good.

@ghettoshampoo 12 лет назад

A kara cancel is not a cancel, It's not the same thing. Kara canceling is canceling a move within it's start-up frames, into another move...the latter move takes on the range properties of the former move, allowing things like uppercuts and throws to connect from ranges beyond the move itself. Kara is very specific and not every character has one.

@green7light 14 лет назад

good stuff dude

@thoraxe5000 14 лет назад

@Li1190 Yes but also because it doesn't have a lot of recovery time and it can't be punished very easily if blocked.

@LiangHuBBB 14 лет назад

@ghettoshampoo 11 лет назад

you throw in as many attacks as it takes to confirm if they are blocking, it's not rocket science. Any human can react to that, it's like reacting to a traffic signal turning yellow, indicating you ease off, or green, indicating you begin accelerating. If you can't react given a whole second...you are not thinking enough while playing the game.

@katamari84 13 лет назад

very informative

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

There's nothing to elaborate on, if your tatsu doesn't come out the jabs are too fast, if the jabs don't combo then the jabs are too slow.

@AcidGlow 14 лет назад

I know but a simple 5 second explanation is all you need to understand. You don't need a 3 minute video to say "jab combos are the safest method"... :p anyways...

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

@gl600fb Actually, I made this video specifically for the youtube scrubs like you gl600fb! Feel privileged.

@ghettoshampoo 14 лет назад

@dhocke You're chaining them and not linking. The jabs are easy to mess up if you don't have a rhythm for them, the last jab in a string before the LK tatsu needs to be linked, so you probably have to slow it down a bit.

@Zero1Zero1 14 лет назад

@Schweinsedge Ok, well the thing is I only play Super Turbo, and there isn't much in the way of hit confirms there aside from mostly light attacks as the stronger ones push the characters out of range, or happen so fast that it's hard to confirm (ST is a lot faster than 3S). That and the combo engine isn't as lenient as SF3 or SF4, so you are also limited in that respect (hit confirms with light attacks in ST require special cancels where in other games you just link the super after the normal)
