Your Neutral Doesn't Have to be Clean to be Effective 

A madman who smells fear that's who

In another timeline BruceLee_Dragon420 is throwing his stick out the window

He knows the smell of the game

Sweep RC and whatnot has become a part of my gameplay since seeing this set, it's my favourite fighting game set.

FACTS

I struggle playing people that dont know how to play. its weird

@@tomasfong40 It’s a sort of valley I’ve encountered. People who don’t know how to play see the controller as a punching bag and go at it. The moment you realise ‘oh damn, I wanna actually learn’ so you start blocking and trying to start neutral whilst not being too knowledgeable in the game it can be hard to block their insanity. It can also be how people who mash can’t really be conditioned properly so it may mess with your gameplan. (I’ve personally tried playing and getting good at tekken and when certain people pick eddy I lose it cause tekken is ‘knowledge check: the game’)

"Fuck it"

what about the tag he went by in Marvel, ageojoe? is there a similar situation with that perchance?

@@mikuhatsune2988 No clue, I was doing a quick search on twitter and it might've been a reference to where he came from but that's about it. Nowhere near as famous as his general username

@@kenmastersX Aw, oh well. Thanks for the reply though, esp after a year. Appreciate it

@@mikuhatsune2988 Ageo is a place, Joe refers to Viewtiful Joe

It's a slight exaggeration, but yes. Sol does fight like this.

Kusoru is the lore Sol

I remember one of Sol win quote in Xrd that he just punch his way out to win the match

@@excel161 "Strategy? Spacing? I just keep punching until I hit something." - Sol's win quote against Axl

This ky looks right too

I want my mixups to be inspired by Lovecraft. I want people to call them "indescribable"

Read H. P. Lovecraft as Heavenly Potemkin Lovecraft lmao

I suppose this works but only because of your opponent is “worrying” it’s because they have an inherent lack of confidence that was there before the match began. If they have solid defense and they can adapt during a game they should have nothing to worry about. The opponent’s going to keep doing the same stupid punishable nonsense and… getting punished. Womp womp.

@Caleb that's why grappler are often low tier. They are psychology dependent. The moment things steer away from oppressive frame data and mechanics and go into the soft science of player headspace is the moment it stops mattering whether a character is even good.

All is fair in love, war, and fighting games

That's the one sentence that made me stop the video and search for it in the comments. What an absolute lad

@@KOTZMIK same!

is it just me or are others associations with worldstar purely pornographic? I've never visited the site, but the vids clearly tell me they're uploaded to wsh.

Nah bro that set was a murder, shit belonged on liveleak

Man fear monke. Monke not fear man.

That's why Batman never actually beat Joker

then the 9 comes out. now everyone scared

The man fears the shit netcode

Except that in the end, Ky would win (he scared Sol shitless when the latter saw Ky fight during Crusades). This is definitely how it would go anytime Ky decided he prefers to fight clean, instead for to win.

@@NaoyaYami Sol was scared by Ky because he fought like a boderline psychopath. Sol could always win uncontested it would just require him to give up parts of his humanity.

@@12thatguyinthecorner But fighting to win and survive isn't fighting like psychopath... And Ky did defeat Sol in Rev2 after story, didn't he?

@@NaoyaYami Sol says serious Ky is amoral and remorseless which is why he ended the fight before it began. Sol could have won but he'd have to use the gear side he hates and could succumb to.

@@12thatguyinthecorner Fair enough. Haven't actually played the story myself and I only saw that clip some time ago on YT so my memory is kinda fuzzy about it. Anyway, now that Ky also has DI, Sol will probably think twice about getting on Ky's bad side :D

Makes me laugh heaps, heaps good term.

Its funny too cuz in ultra fight boko has 0 effect on combos too

ill raise you one jigoku. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_GtMiTvOJok.html

you don't need to neutral if you're never in neutral

It made me hype to pick up HOS again

The best part is the brief FD flash of baiting DP and then he throws lol

That's what you get for being evil.

So basically "learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist".

Brian pretty much

I think these players should act as a filter for the very top. They probably won't make it to the top themselves, but they can use their skills to beat lots of people that shouldn't be at the top either. They're like the big lobster in the bucket that makes it so none of the other ones can get out.

ChaoticKreg facts

Experienced Poker players complain about this all the time. How are you supposed to figure out if your opponent's hand is good if THEY don't even know?

It usually results in mashing out of turn and whiffing a lot. I just focus on punishment and abuse knowledge checks.

@@bennymountain1 I just spam any ch launcher in Tekken.

It's actually really easy, just wait and punish, do frametraps in your blockstring because they will mash, let them do their blockstring and wait until it's your turn while not trying to do anything fancy, just fundamentals.

I used to do HEMA swordfighting and one of my trainers told me the scariest opponent to face in a sword fight is one who doesn't care if he gets hit or killed.

if it aint broke dont fix it lmao

What set was that? I wanna watch this lol

Gives me banana ken vibes

Hell yeah, thanks for playing

Yo, same man. Before watching Sajam, no matter how much I tried getting into FGs, I would just drop them quickly. Watching this man made me look at it from a different angle and now I really enjoy these games.

He's on a drug called UNGA. More addictive than heroin.

Don't do UNGA, kids! Stick to paint thinner and hang out with the grapplers!

Brother we both know that these are two different things One is about using one option over another and weighing risk vs reward This is a deliberate playstyle that has and IS showing results to back the style up

Its fine as long as it works mentality is an excuse to not be better while this is advocating for unorthodox playstyles. Two completely different things.

More souls for the I don't understand Abare club

Kusoru isn't "it's fine as long as it works" kusoru has an unorthodox playstyle, there's a difference, the difference being that kusoru is still weighing risk and reward and not just thinking about if it hits or not. There's a lot more to playing unga bunga than it seems.

@@momazosnachos3939 Kusoru is skilled because he knows what is "good" or "normal" skilled play and can do something that goes against that sensibility without being truly "random" while still executing combos and having great game knowledge.

@@AramesiaToken no, it was jyobin in sf4, he had methods to his mashness on ranked ladder

People generally equate being able to articulate exactly why an option is good or why you did something with good play. If you think the opponent is terrified of you because you have a good read on their timings so you just unga bunga run them from corner to corner and then you dp their 2A like how can you explain that y'know. Peach is a good Smash example since a majority of her longer punishes require tech reads into DI mixups but she has to commit harder than Falcon because she doesn't have great mobility, you kinda just pick what you think will work and if it does your opponent is probably dead. I might not be able to explain every little detail later but in the moment I did it it seemed like a good idea. Sometimes I just do something "stupid" because I know it'll work or it's something my opponent doesn't like and then don't explain it to annoy the Brain player I'm playing against. A lot of Snake stuff in PM is basically just "it just works, you can sdi super hard to make it a 50-50 but other than that you're prolly dead" which isn't wrong if a bit oversimplified

Because theres different types of rushdown, and some people are just used to seeing tokido go on sf4 set play offense and are like damn thats good rushdown. But its very clean and methodical. Meanwhile they havent felt the absolute madness of a kof or mvc scramble. Being hammered by triangle jumps at mach 5 or chin feigning an overhead into a low, and throwing you into a 50percent reset, crossing you up and doing the exact same thing again. Theres an over reliance on methodology. Long range is pokes and zoning, mid is footsies and close up is a guess thats effectively Throw, block uppercut, normal being, the odds slightly skewed on offense or defense. Meanwhile a player like poongko will just jump all of the sudden and if youre unfortunate enough to be poking at that time your either suddenly in a massive meaty situation or getting hit. A fireball is just a very favorable guess with a low reward against almost any character with a jump for example. You can absolutely treat a fighting game like its gambling to some degree of success, all you need is to do is know your options.

I think I watched the stream live when it happened...but I do remember being blown away

This isn't necessarily good advice. It certainly can be, but keep in mind there can be multiple ways to play a character (though not always.) I play Eustace in Granblue and have been making use of some 'unusual' choices with him, simply because it fits my own approach and I'm finding a certain flow with it.
