Great content man, i been subbed since ur HC guides, and they were incredibly thorough. Cant wait to see how they translate to the S++ character zato.😅
5:40 initiate an upback airdash with 77 then hold 8 during the preairdash, you'll get a diagonal up ardash while you're havjng the backwards airdash animation
I found your guide series very helpful for mastering Zato. I request your permission to share your videos on other websites in my country, so more players can learn from them. Thank you!
@@mikagesun5645 I mean would it be better if I just get translated subtitles on my video, or do you need to upload it because of countries that cannot use youtube?
@@aDTimeGaming Sorry for the late reply. It's very kind of you to provide translated subtitles. While I have made a subtitle translated into my own language (Simplified Chinese). So there is no need to do the same job twice. I can also share my translation if you are interested in adding extra language support into your videos. Besides, we do have some restrictions in accessing youtube site. So I use a downloader to get the MP4 source files and upload them on our own video sites. Thank you for your understanding.
I don't care much for GG. I just really like Zato and he's very rewarding to play with also just straight up fun. Hopefully they will address Zato in the next patch maybe making Eddie time to come back 5 seconds and fixing break the law would help zato tremendously in my opinion.
About 2S pierce unsummon, that low-key tends to lose to the same options as them jumping outta pierce, since most people will IAD at you if they have any matchup knowledge cause the frog you'd like to do to snipe that doesn't actually convert into both hits at a lotta spacings, and most Zato's tend to be poor at recognizing that and routing around it. To be fair, 'most Zatos' are like...20 people total, so that might not actually matter much.
Thanks for letting me know! Do you mean that doing pierce into frog doesn't catch them? Or just doing 2S into frog doesn't catch them? I was using pierce unsummon more for the safety of protecting Eddie and resetting neutral rather than catching any specific option. I'll have to test if pierce unsummon leaves you punishable to IAD since I didn't test that unless you can tell me.
It looks like if they IAD after 2S and the first hit of pierce connects, then they lose to frog and can easily be 6Pd if I do unsummon, so I assume you mean they IAD after blocking the 2S before the pierce or frog. If that's what you mean then that's true and definitely can be a problem. I'm a bit surprised while watching Gobou and Latif play in a bunch of high level matches no one ever showed that as an option. But at the same time IADing as a hard read that the Zato player would do pierce or frog after any normal is a gamble, so maybe that's why I didn't see it. Let me know if there's something else I missed, definitely appreciate the tips!
@@aDTimeGaming For context I meant moreso for 2s frog, rather than 2s pierce1 frog. IAD after 2S, before the special is not uncommon, as it'll blow up pierce, drills, and make oppose conversions finicky (as they may end up behind you, and 2s oppose is fairly uncommon). As for your second comment, I just realized exactly why this isn't shown now that you mention it. Unsummon's frame data was buffed recently, we did not used to have time for that for several seasons. Mid screen unsummon without setup used to be a death sentence, this may actually be a big deal! Nice find!
