Making the most out of your Perfect Parry! - Street Fighter 6 

I learned to be fair that’s better than nothing. Scaling is a big mf 😭

its easier against obvious moves, which is why I sorta use Honda as the base.

I'm on the opposite side of this argument. I thought I was special being able to perfect parry headbutt so often. now after this video I don't feel so special.

Jamie kind of can of his level 3, he gets the level 3 drive damage and can end his combo with a drive impact. Its enough so that blocking an EX reversal guarantees he can break your drive gauge with the punish counter combo.

😂

everyone wants Zangief's perfect body grasping them, until their spines end up crushed like a tin can

thanks for the idea, i always go for corner carry and completely forgot about thí

@@setyourheartabl4ze I started doing it because perfect parry literally scales at 50% lol. Most characters get a free drive rush after the DI knockdown anyways

an even better combo is to do heavy kick canceled into double drink, you get two drinks for free for no meter loss

@@paretmartin5922 right i keep forgetting that HK is cancellable, thanks!

Honestly in most situations, either DI or perfect parry or whatever, her grab winds up kinda being the best choice anyways unless you wanna add a super. Like off a DI, lvl 3 and up grab is better. Off a big DP punish, unless you using super nothing beats level 5 anyways lol.

@@rooflemonger A combo that ends in QCB+MK is better in a lot of cases due to corner carry and +Frames. But if you have 5 medals just take the 37% (meterless!) damage

If the move you perfect parried has fast enough recovery, you don't always get to have big combos. This happens most often when you perfect parry jump-in attacks, for example. You just need to try out faster attacks.

@@Copperhell144 thanks I’ll have to practice in the lab!

Just use it raw. You're gonna do it anyway

dammit, he's onto us.

doing a high damage combo is in fact, suboptimal, which is the point of the video.

Damn this guy definitely not that smart 😂😂

well the answer is right there, its consistency. Climbing the ranks means for the most part a positive win %, and you get that by being consistent. That means being able to handle rushdown and silliness. There is no magic quick answer for that. Playing more games, and becoming more comfortable in situations is what will win you those games. If rushdown ken ran all over you, a lot of the time its because you let them by hitting buttons when you shouldn't etc etc. Recognizing situations for what they are and acting appropriately is a big part of the battle. Watching your own replays can be a very good help with that, you will learn a lot more from watching a match where you lost than one where you win. Take a gander on why exactly you lost, which exchanges didn't go in your favour, thats the kinda stuff you need to improve on.

@@rooflemonger yeah i think i see an opening or a gap etc and try to escape or reversal etc, ive been watching some replays but i should watch way more losses then, ill see how it goes 👍

I mean, the whole point of this video is that the positional advantage you can gain from perfect parry is much better than damage anyway? If you react correctly (e.g. throw Honda into a corner) you could get into situation where it's a lot harder for Honda to just spam headbutt at you in the near future.

yeah honda owns

If it didn't the game would basically just devolve into perfect parry/baiting parry. Like if you got a full damage combo against honda on every parried headbutt, he would be Z tier.

@@rooflemonger Hmmm I see that makes me feel like I’m greatly underestimating how actually achievable a Perfect Parry is in the game cause in my head it feels very difficult but at the same time that belief that it’s so difficult has kept me from ever actually going for it.

@@ThePlasticBowl The thing is, going for perfect parry has a low risk because most of the time you just get a normal parry (unless you are late) which is just a better block. This is not SF3 where parrying comes with the risks of not blocking. Because of that you can think of perfect parry's as "free" bonus attacks that kind of breaks the game's builtin assumptions of what is and isn't safe, and therefore the scaling feels perfectly fine to me. Even if you only land perfect parry's once in a while the advantage is still pretty huge.

@@BrotherCheng So then I think what I’m afraid of is eating the grab then cause lets say my opponent jumps in on me I can parry to make sure the jump In doesn’t hit me and then even hold it to beat whatever they might do on landing but if they stop early the grab is almost inevitable right? Doesn’t parry have some frames of recovery on it?

​@@BrotherCheng SF6 Parry has a punishable whiff animation, SF3 does not.

always play honda more first everything else comes second

basically everything in the beat the honda headbutt video applies to blanka. Its airborne so loses to DP's cause they are air invuln frame 1, its easier to beat with buttons than headbutt is, or you can just do anything armoured/invincible to take it on(not DI though)

Up until you press the Drive Impact too late and make it so that Honda/Blanka/whomever counter-DI's you of course.

Try to jump attack him before his buttslam comes down, especially with light buttons (though maybe even try out slower attacks as well).
