Four Things HOLDING YOU BACK from GETTING GUD at DBFZ 

It be like that sometimes, you'll bounce back 🚶

Is there even such a thing as a good day on ranked? In my experience, it's been win-once, get stomped 10 times smh

@@tobebuilds that's the fun part. getting stomped 10 times doesn't feel fun at the start but the moment you have the realization that you are playing to get better and not playing to win every match you will eventually start winning and ranks will just come naturally.

Pumpingpriest- DE Deadass, the number of times I hit people with Cell and his 6H in a blockstring

@@uraverageweeaboo1723 yeah but that's one of the reasons I like to use him since his 6m gets stronger due to this as well. People can't stand up blocking because there third low can come every time😁 but yeah I almost never use his ex perfect attack mix since it just isn't necessary online especially with his great staggers

What rank are you in?

@@mrevilducky I'm an ultra instinct sign player

Quick tip. Practice meaty timing. For when people down tech, when they delay tech, when they up tech. If you don't jump then forward tech gets then out of the corner. You can't always cover 100% of everything but you can cover most options. So, practice different meaty timings, different timings for maybe dragon rush on wakeup like if they up tech, jump DR is amazing.

Calling an assist to deal with neutral tech and up tech and then reacting to delay tech could make the oki scenario a bit easier for ya.

just pick piccolo a assist

Darnell U same

I have this problem too, but the answer is basically just to leave the scramble. Backdash, airbackdash, jump, jump into air backdash. Just minimize your risk of getting hit right now, then get back to playing now.

It may be your characters too. If you play a character that doesn't have to buttons/mobility to rip your opponents' Kid Buu from the air, it is a LOSING battle. Don't play your opponents game and force your opponent to play your characters' game if possible with smart assist usage.

Same bro I feel you

Darnell U this may sound obvious but you shouldnt try to do stuff because it makes sense to go for that in this situation but rather do stuff because your opponent is gonna think u do something more obvious. perfect example is coming down with buttons after a successful up tech. i might seem like a good idea (off course this is situational) to go for it if your above them but a decent player will get the 2h 90% of the time. instead you should try to read that he is waiting for the 2h because he sees your up tech and either try to get out with an advancing special or just block the 2h... even a really good player wont be ready most of the time to cancel the 2h into a special that could lead to a mix up. at lower ranks some ppl always superdash after 2h wich is easy to punish. but a general rule to read your opponent or to play neutral (specially in scrambles) is to not try to guess what the opponent is gonna do but making him think he has a read on you and punishing that.

MANNNNNNNNNNN I RECOGNIZE IT TWO. Good times at that game, love the soundtrack.

xxSenju you cant generally say its good to reflect in certain situations. it always depends on how your opponent adapts and how he plays in the first place. if i fight someone new i always reflect after i block a vanish and try to punish them. in general: always go for it when you feel like you know your opponent is gonna press a button until they try to punish it. but keep in mind that you have to reflect more than once against certain characters/certain reflect proof blockstrings.

Watch rath fgc

Press buttons before you land, or after you land after the superdash since the opponent is still in blockstun from the assist, that's what makes it a 50/50

@@cenizen That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I can see Bardock is about land and change my guard on reaction.

@@bunny1866 I guess the recording you made isn't tight enough

you can never make sd beam an unreactable 50/50 like a basegeta or perfect cell mix. it can be hard sometimes if you get really good at it. I recently saw a match were someone fought OBAssasin and they only tried to open him up with sd assist and it didnt work a single time.

Lets have a set sometime! On PS4, i'm actually searching for people to play with

If they don't cover it with an assist you can use an anti-air like 2H. You can also reflect it if they immediately press buttons after the dash or you can use your DP (if your character has one)

@@valentino967 thank you, now what if you collide superdash in the air and they forward dash with buttons, is there anyway to punish or atleast not have hold the pressure?

@@codyhamilton1012 No problem. You can always backdash if you are not in the corner. Quick tag is also an option. If the startup isn't too slow you may cancel into a special move. The EX Legs of Adult Gohan can counter this scenario. Fast fall is also an option for chracters Like Adult Gohan or Android 17. Of the top of my head Vegito could probably punish it too with his 2S. Which characters are you playing? Note that this scenario can also occur when you tech an dragon rush as you regain your jump, although the distance between the players seems a bit different in this case.

@@valentino967 I'm running base vegeta blue goku and gotenks. I'm mean I'm no rookie im ssj rose rank so I know alot of things but I just cant lie when someone forward dashes after a clash with buttons it gets me I just sit there and block and deal with the mix all over again . Thank you for stating if were on the ground I can 2h it though that helps alot.

​@@codyhamilton1012 Yea no problem. Cool team you got. Let's keep get better mate :-)

Practice the timing, delay wake up can be beaten with the correct timing or call an assist that covers these options and then go for a mix or if it did hit you can convert of the hit into a full combo

RC7 FGC trash

Emeka Akaluso lemme guess , you’re Zen-Oh?

It doesn't take that long to know the mechanics and be good...its the easiest and best fighters game in the world

Bruh hop online and mash auto combos, 6m, and dragon rush. You'll be godlike in seconds.

Sneeze I know the mechanics, I’m a living legend rank, it is one of the easier fighting games to play but fighting games are so hard to begin with That it’s still incredibly hard to play properly

halfstrike721 once you get the mechanics and your combos down, the only thing to do is get more experience by playing/watching others or better players. You can do a bit at a time, you don’t have to grind for 5 hours a day

@@dashuntas.m4045 I'm having a hard time consistently doing combos. I know how to do most of them but physically doing them on a dpad sucks. Doing quarter circle movements on a dpad has never been consistent for me. Sometimes it works sometimes I'm pressing it and it's just dropping or not doing what I want. It's a serious issue because I cant do combos without dropping them even though I know how to do the combo. I'm starting to think I should try a fighting stick it should be easier to do the movements I think

Have you considered watching your replays? Yes it may be cringe worthy but it gives you homework to take to the lab. Because what are you going to lab if you have nothing to work on outside of optimal combos coming from obvious' situations? (2H starter combo, air hit combo, etc.) If you need better combos, look for the right resource for it. If you need to work defending specific strings/situations against certain types of pressure, the lab can work to simulate that for you to learn how to defend and punish correctly.

@@t4d0W My question about training mode was how it actually functions. I'm so dumb that I don't know how to set any of it up correctly. I know I need to learn my options in situations against matchups I don't quite understand but I'm really just confused as to how to set that up to lab.

@@t4d0W And I really appreciate the reply!

There are multiple videos about using training mode on this channel 🙏 Hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I9opjxNuX20.html

If your team has no airtight mixups then you should probably think about changing that team a bit. Relying on scrambles and neutral to get hits in can be really good but if you play against someone who is good enough to keep themselves covered in those situations, you'll need to open them up and if you're at the higher levels of play then it's going to be harder and harder the better someone is at defense.

@@Bussy-Hunter I'm sort of having this issue. Rn I haven't spent any time in training mode and the only mix I know how to perform is cooler 50/50s that aren't really airtight.

@@infernate4067 It's hard to get really good mix outside of labbing in trainer for hours but you can still do the basics like 2L, 5L, DR for easy openers on people who have good guard online. DR is hard enough to tech online but when you have the option to throw it out during the start of a blockstring it's pretty much impossible to tech.

Focus on improvement rather than the result, you'll get there before you notice.

try practicing to jab the opponent out of the superdash after superjumping or at the very least block and everything is fine and maybe use a good assist to get in. I for example use frieza's b assist for that purpose and I win so often neutral thanks to his insanely good assist

You can still block the second your feet leave the ground, try super jumping by pressing diagonal up.

I will try practicing the jab out of a SD in the air. Another issue I think, is kind of dumb, but I am not sure how to use the training mode to practice these. For instance, how to determine, when I fall, I should jM or jH on the opponent, or if he will 2H me. When I play online, I noticed that sometimes I let the opponent jumps on me, and I am "I'm gonna 2H your ass", but somehow it doesn't come fast enough.

@@Polopollo75 Are you able to post videos to youtube? If you could just post a snippet of what you're trying out, I could do my best to point out what you're doing wrong.

​@@cenizen Thanks. For instance here: SgUK5SeWTwg at 2:18, I should have the advantage, and I was scared of going on the opponent. Or at 3:30 (or all the end), I feel the opponent is trying to teach me something, and I am just literally clueless. It is painful to even watch the replay. Or in this one I tried to be "ok he likes to jump and fall on me, I;m gonna try to run and 2H 4gcsN43BQgA (at 2:40). Here N9yEovWsmR0 I won, but honestly that was a mess. Most of my games are like that. I feel I need to get bodied a lot more to understand a lot more things. For training I am unsure on how to practice movements.

If you use your assists, they don't recharge simply because you let them out of blockstun - now they have to be out for X amount of frames (easy rule is that if they can tag, then your assists start coming back).

@@LordKnightfgc You the man!

Why would you make such a stupid argument?

mega dude cuz snap let you get some oki/setup that covers (almost) everything after a hit, a lot of time in DBFZ it doesn’t feel like you get rewarded for getting a SD. But snap did look boring as fuck, but it let people get their money’s worth out of a confirm

@@jasn6972 You just contradicted your own argument, when you have setups that cover (almost) everything, it's literally unfair since you can't counterplay that shit. You shouldn't get rewarded so much off something as easy and good as a superdash.

There are a few vids on defense on this channel! Hope this helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XaTy0p_WweM.html

you don't mash - but this game rewards mashing sometimes so..

Dont just auto combo, tie it in with a lockdown down combo on the ground or something. If they jump then have some kind of air tech or something for their reversal. Lab it yo

@@anthony89107 auto combos on whiff are game-breaking and scrubby. I dunno what there is to lab.

@@Af0 thats just auto combos in general, someone could easily hit 2M on a whiff and do a whole structured combo or just auto-combo, its just like, dont whiff at that point, lab by setting the ai to do what you need it to do. Make combos airtight so you dont whiff or cover your options with assist more

"No disrepect but..." proceeds to talk to him like if you were his boss. >Okay

Hey bro, if you press up/forward and your super dash button, that will give you an iad

96 and 9+super dash macro will give you instant airdashes. I like GBVS too but I'll be basically uploading about whatever I'm into at the moment 🏃

@@vegito123456 thanks for saying it right i forgot about the number pad system...

Sorry for disrespectful comments, i'm from hands first ask questions later... My Bad comments deleted

If you don't care then just do you, I'm not trying to stop you. There's nothing on the line in ranked anyways. But often, there are people who perform well online and don't realize that they are too used to a different type of environment. It's worth addressing if you're trying to improve at both the game and the genre.

You forgot the Disconnect option

@@cenizen 😂😂😂 True.

Jedrek Przekwas how are keyblast and beam defensive options?

Almost all of those are attacks though
