How to play Captain Ginyu [Step by step guide] 

It's one of those things where there have always been way easier character choices in the game, so he's been looked at as not worth learning. But yes, he's incredibly good and incredibly fun!

He's low tier because all the pro players are afraid of telling others how good he is because of how much Ginyu traumatized them online

Tbh I really feel putting him at bottom 3 is disingenuous to Ginyu. In my opinion, he is probably mid to almost high tier (no higher tho due to power creep)

As much as Ginyu is indeed a good character, there are some things that keep him down in most people's opinion: -Hard to learn; -Low damage output (aside for corner combos and highly optimized combos, which are very damaging); -Very gimmick reliable: without his gimmick, he's pretty bad when compared to other characters. This means that if your opponent finds a way around the GF and/or plays a character that makes it easier, you're in for a bad time; -No low 2L and second slowest 2M in the game (Terrible high-low mix); -Slightly above than average mix: the only good thing he has is that the force can cause visual noise, which makes it harder to see the mix, but aside from that, he can't do anything fancy.

Go1 (DBFZ's best player ever in my opinion) picked up Ginyu for a little while and the result was scary to opponents.

hahaha, i'd recommend just avoiding that situation if you can!

can definitely vouch for how fun he is! Definitely worth sticking with him!

@@MisterAcolyte best part is that if you dont find Ginyu fun you can just switch with the oppopnent

i'll try not to keep you waiting long!

thank you! and yes, Ginyu is a monster of possibilities! (which is why this guide was so long even after I cut several parts out xD)

Thank you for demonstrating once again that not everyone is meant to teach! Also your post is incredibly ironic, and honestly very funny. It seems you missed some very crucial details my friend. First of all, not only did I mention the meter build from ginyu B, but did you happen to take a look at when this guide was posted? The buffed meter build had not be implemented at the time of this guide. However I did make a follow up video that covers that information. Second this is a "how to play" guide. The purpose of this guide, as stated, is to teach people what they need to know to pick up this character. The intricate minutia of specific rules concerning swapping specific characters is absolutely not key information that someone needs in order to pick up this character. Once again, I made a separate video covering the ins and outs of body change, as it's a broad topic that I don't want bogging down a beginners guide that is already over 30 minutes long. I'd suggest you work on your own observation skills before deciding anyone else has "missed details".

lol! don't worry, I hit people with it every single day!

YES SIR

hahaha love to hear it!

lol what have I done

Plot twist* I'm a ginyu main

they'll never see it see it coming

no problem! I'm glad it was helpful!

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

thanks so much! I'm really glad it was helpful!

planning to do some more guides soon!

wow thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

wow thanks so much! that really means a lot!

I'm glad it was helpful! He takes a pretty good amount of time to learn but hes definitely worth it imo!

true! I actually recorded that information, but decided to cut it for time. Wanted to try and keep this under 30 minutes, but that proved to be impossible lol

That makes sense. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I'm really happy that this guide can actually be helpful!

@@MisterAcolyte yeah I'm going to be real I'm not the best player when it comes to fighting games it's just very difficult for me to dedicate so much time into a game like fighting games but I still enjoy playing them but with a guide like this I actually had it usable information as you broke down literally so much information in a way they can actually be digested and used most guys I've seen with this basically very basic tips that only new players could really benefit from and then tell you to go practice for 40 hours with the character to maybe make them playable or mentions they have potential but doesn't showcase it... so the fact that you not only show usable combos but step-by-step on ways to Branch out into other things shows how much work in you put into your videos

sure. Ginyu B rotates an input pattern along with the summons. It will always follow the patter of S, 236S, 214S. This is why its hard to keep track of what will come next. It is manageable however, as long as you keep track of the input rotation in your head as you play.

This is the all time greatest implementation of Ginyu, I really hope that all future games utilize him even half as well as this team has.

that's awesome! Really glad to hear that!

Thank you!

Summon into vanish is pretty good in certain situations! I didn't put it in this guide because it is punishable if the opponent is ready for it. However recoome S ~ vanish and Jeiece S~Vanish can be very difficult to 2H even if you're ready!

hahaha thank you! And welcome to the squad!

@@MisterAcolyte The force*

lol you've come to the right place

Thank you! I'm really happy to hear that!

THANK YOU! i've been saying that for so long lol wish they'd do it!

hahaha welcome! I hope this guide was helpful!
