Level 2 super doesn't remove your drinks if you already have four, which the trial started you with. When you already have four drinks, further drinks will refill your drive gauge half a bar per drink, while the level 2 super completely replenishes your gauge

See people, Jamie's cool, play him, he's fun

The issue with Jamie's combos that are like 4+ drinks is that by the time you have 4 drinks that combo is way overkill

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1040">17:20</a> to clarify something, Honda's Sumo Spirit buff allows him to cancel into hundred hands off of 3 moves that normally can't: Crouching Heavy Punch, Late hit Standing Heavy Punch, and the Sumo Clap special move. The Clap in particular enables much stronger confirms off of lights

man, why is jamie the coolest character ever???

So we've learned from these videos that JM's weakness is moves with special timing mechanics (Dee Jay super and Luke perfect knuckles). People are really built different, I had no trouble with those but found Chun ridiculously hard.

I'm so very happy that characters like marisa exist. As someone who hasn't seen a fighting game since the SNES, I really needed something that wasn't garbage tier, easy enough to understand, and that I'm able to execute with my motor issues

I love playing Jamie, seeing his delight doing the trials is really nice😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="400">6:40</a> this combo only works in level 4, because they're using the level 2 super to restore your drive gauge to have enough for the rest of the combo (which, that's what drink does at level 4 btw, they all restore drive gauge)

Pre-warning about World Tour, if you decide to play through it for a video(s)/stream(s). The mode is like 30-40 hours. Maybe it could be 10 or 20 hours, if you rush immediately into each Main Story Mission. But, if you want to explore, do sub-missions, meet and talk with all the Masters, etc. time starts to fly. I made it to credits around 41 hours, although I'm the type who sometimes plays through games pretty slowly.

thanks for making these - they're a lot of fun to watch!

Always love your combo trial videos, I’m still stuck on the intermediate Marisa trials but your videos are always a great motivator to keep trying.

As a certified Marisa player, I can agree that her combos are pretty baby easy compared to other characters

2 things abt Jamie, that Forward HK has 3 followups not just the drink and headbutt, but one where he slides and hits you continuously with a spinning attack. Also for the 3 bar combo, the level 2 drink refills the drive gauge aswell as normal drinks, the normal drinks fill it half for every drink he gets after level 4, same goes for the level 2 super, but instead of filling half a drive bar of the gauge, it fills 3 and allows you to do that combo. Yeah Jamie is sick nasty with it.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="574">9:34</a> It HURTS. I'm pretty sure unless you use even more gauge and/or supers, the free hard knockdown is worth it for the damage alone. It's also a really reliable way to end rounds while spending your entire drive gauge

Love your content bro, keep it up.

Got the game on day one and Luke was the first character I picked up and went into trials with so you can imagine how well that worked out. Now it’s a piece of cake.

Luke charge moves are why I play the character. It just feels so good when you land the wall bounce combo.

About Manon's medals and stuff, I don't think people realize that her command grab is the weakest *damaging* command grab in the game at 1 medal (not counting Jamie's since that's a utility command grab). It literally does less damage than a punish counter throw at 1 medal and at 2 medals, it still does less damage than Marisa's command grab which has the natural mixup of if you try to jump away, she can overhead you and if you stand-block, she can hit you with a low. It's not until 3 medals she starts surpassing people in command grab damage and it's pretty much on you to avoid letting her get those medals. Between having pretty middling moves that can be drive rush cancelable in the range department, she also has the problem of outright having the absolute worst drive rush distance in the game. Even both Dhalsim and Gief has better distance with drive rush than Manon, so her range is hampered there as well. Meaning, odds are she can't really do a long-range whiff punish and then drive rush in simply because she won't move close enough to actually continue the combo. Also the fact that she gets no real combos from any of her target combos, at best she can try to crLP after the stHP+stHP target combo, but you can also mash any 4-frame to trade to make her back off or just neutral jump in many cases. At lower ranks, people get hit a lot by stHP + stHP into command grab, but you can neutral jump and get a punish counter combo from it. If you're afraid of her doing a drive rush into command grab from neutral, you can lab it by setting up a training routine where she will drive rush into the comand grab just to see the ranges at which you can stuff it with a sweep, a normal that doesn't extend your hurtbox too much so she gets a grab from it or just backdash once to not get grabbed by it. It is -49f to -54f on whiff, so learning how to avoid getting raw grabbed means you get to do an absolute max damage combo in return. Same thing with many of her specials, they leave her severely minus on block so if you keep crouch blocking primarily you can stuff a lot of her ground-spins since it's one of the moves that's kind of difficult to spot the start-up of. Which means she likely will start doing the overhead special instead, which can be DI'd if you spot it early enough. (Hot tip, a lot of Manons will do the overhead special on wake up to try to meaty which is a good time to DI as well. Just don't DI too often because then you're probably gonna eat a command grab in return). In fact, if you want to specifically take a dump on Manon, play a character with good neutral buttons. It's funny how a lot of the characters that are considered "worse" in SF6 are characters that make Manon players miserable. Lily and Gief are miserable to fight as Manon since Lily strictly outrange and gets wind charges, Zangief is you but with armor and has 3+ medal damage on his throws from the get-go while also having better buttons but Jamie is the actual spawn of Lucifer. You're not allowed to whiff anything against Jamie because he will just get drinks for free on you since his normals all pretty much outrange anything Manon has and if you whiff, he'll get to combo you into oblivion. I know this sounds like typical Manon downplaying, but I really don't mean it to be. I've played Manon from day 1 and never even tried a single other character online yet, so I think I'm sitting at 1600-ish games with Manon. Am I good with her? Not really. But since Capcom decided to just make another french grappler instead of letting me have Abel back, this is the closest i'll get to having Abel in a game again so I'm stuck playing her. Just trying to help out people who are struggling against the tall french lady. Anything to make people stop gosh darn backpedaling for 90% of the match against me. This ended up longer than I originally intended, but hey. That's how it is sometimes.

I didn’t struggle that much with Luke’s combos. For some reason I was terrible with Chun and Cammy

As a Luke player, this definitely helps me feel better for dropping combos now

I miss your streams :’) great video as always tho!

I loved these :)

Oooh, Luke is saying Beast Mode! That makes more sense than baseball!

I noticed some add cuts in the beginning of the video where some of the content got skipped. It was an awesome video though. I find it a blast watching the trials; especially since it gives me hope that I can pull them off.

I like that there's a type of character for pretty much everyone. I hate Luke's "Perfect" charges because it's soooo awkward but it's cool that it appeals to some players

Im so glad people are starting to really like luke after basically hating him since he got added to sf5.

I completed all the trials, with chun li and guile struggling the most. Really dissapointed for getting nothing when completing the trials. It was still fun nonetheless!

BEASTMODE BABY

The fact that you can get the buff after the stun and still do the combo feels so disrespectful lol Also gratz on doing them all!

Super cool

Jamie actually have 4 follow ups after lvl 4 forward heavy kick. If you press right away it’s a headbutt, with slight delay he got 2 spinning punches, with even more delay 3 spinning punches and finally giga drink 😊

Could be a fun tradition to introduce each new character with their combo trial

IT WOULD BE AWESOME to see you play the hardest difficulty version of story mode. I like fighting game story modes.

Ya let’s see some world tour or whatnot. Heck I haven’t even tried regular arcade yet

I'm still struggling with Marisa last combo and jmcrofts does em all easy mode 🤣 I knew you'd crush them tho lol ggs muh dude ggs

I tried Jamie's trials before this video and they immediately sold me on Jamie

Man JM, did you see that recent Justin Wong Dhalsim video a week ago? Seeing someone do that well with him against Wong was so impressive. He also somehow used drill a decent amount compared with your advice to never use it, but I am too noob to understand why he was using it.

I think Luke's perfect knuckles are a really interesting piece of difficulty

Tbh, I'd love to see the full unedited version of this video (even if its 3 hours long)

I’d like to see some streams of you grinding rank with various characters.

Been working on Jamies combo trials for a good 8 hours trying to get to grip with the motions ( doing both sides ) and this dude goes "this was easy" and knocks it out in sub 7min. I dont think i will ever be good at fighting games x)

"Them grippers is reaching man!" lmaooo

Ya do the arcade modes. Or heck. Do world tour and build your character. Not the best or most fun. Yours. What combination of moves and normals would JM use if he were a playable character?! That always sounds interesting

Luke's intermediate 11 is harder than any of his advanced, you got it no problem but that special cancel is really tight

He never even found the third follow-up of Jamie’s level 4 kick target combo, where if you press punch between the two timings he did he does a spin forward

I'm watching someone else play SF6 and I find myself wanting to watch you play more Dhalsim on ranked. I think you could make a running series on taking unpopular characters as far as you can and I bet it would get good views.

Luke's perfects made me give up. When I actually get the perfect, I forget I have the rest of the combo to do.

Players been complaining about Jaime being low tier but his moves are so much fun.

Yeah story mode would be fun

i'd be down for watching you play world tour or hard arcade tbh. although i'm curious what your avatar does or would look like xD

oh really Yeah ngl your trials videos got me to really try out games like sf4 and umvc3. I got a headstart on this game for that but this should be fun nonetheless. Almost a bit poetic for me,lol

Luke's trials with perfects were legitimately hard. I think 9/10 is an appropriate rating cuz those trials make him definitely harder than the rest of the cast except Guile who deserves to be the only 10/10.

Jamie is ma boy Love this character

Hey, i'm interested in buying an arcade stick to use to play fighting games with on my ps5 (i'll soon be hopping on to a PC), and was curious if you had any recommendations? What one do you use? I would appreacite the help a lot

A lot of new people are going to be joining SF6. Would you share a video about your controls and what you recommend for controls / controllers? Any kind of additional research into all the controllers the community uses would also be cool to hear about.

When Honda's buff is active, more normals can be canceled into Hands

Every time I see Marisa hk now I’m gonna think “them grippers is reaching”

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1781">29:41</a> nah, Manon's system is fine, but instead they should buff Jamie so his drinks stay between rounds too

Jamie is cool was the big takeaway

World tour mode breakdown or the first part no one I've seen is doing that with full release out

Yo it’s been six months since the kizzie set, it’s time to ring mans up

I found Luke to be one of the easier ones personally, i played him in demo a lot so i already had mastered perfect

As a Luke player, knowing the perfect comes pretty naturally.

Oh my god is that Luke from Streets?

Seeing Jamie's lk target combo made me realize Jamie mains are just Lucky Chloe mains with alcoholism

yeah, lukes combos are hard. and its not only the perfect timing, its also the aerial uppercut

Jamie should have been DLC. He's not hard but he's pretty complex and people aren't exploring his moveset cause they're too busy learning the systems. But by the time we get the systems and are looking for more meat to chew on we'll have shiny new chars asking for attention.

Funny enough I get Luke’s perfects pretty consistently, but I’m totally struggling at the game as a whole lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="357">5:57</a> this trial is hard for me specifically the c.HP xx Super, i couldn’t do the buffer fast enough 😢 any tips would be appreciated 😅

Crazy request but any chance u can do a super cut with everyone's trails please can't be the only one who wants to see that

Where did Jamie intermediate 8 go?

now do them again in modern controls

Not gonna lie jamie is a nice addition. Yeah he basically plays like the twins. But he drinks! Lmao Yo jm man I wanna run some matches.

Ive only got Kimberley, juri and chun li left but im stuck on chun advanced 1😢

I’d still be on the first one 1 hour later. Crazy how people can just rip these combos out…I’m getting old!

Ive only recently started playing fighting games in ernest... I just can't get that cancel on manon Intermediate 11 (cancel command grab into lvl3). I just do the command grab. I'm just not fast enough yet to cancel /:

Can you add a "hand cam" to show how you are doing these combos on stick?

*FUCK IT WE PALM*

Please someone tell me someone told croft about the middle timing attack from the foward fierce back fierce drunk whatever you want to call it thats a double mid that's just as special cancelable as the headbutt if not moreso because... you know, two hits

Intermediate 8 was skipped for Jamie

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="167">2:47</a> what happened with Intermediate 8?

I've to agree that Manon and Marisa are easy 😆 But man, that Manon grab command with medals needs damage nerf 😤 The damage is insane!

Please do arcade on the hardest difficulty with your weakest character

Did not finish all the trials (might not even bother) but imo Manon, JP and Dhalsim had the easiest trials while Guile I'm not even gonna bother with beyond Beginner

The more you play luke the easier those combos become but yea his combos are still difficult

best thing about Marisa is she got the easiest combos with the biggest damage lmao, other characters have to spend all their meters just to get to her level

My combo trials aren't registering me doing them. For certain ones idk why.

Jamie’s Lv 2 doesn’t reset his drinks when he’s already at drink 4 I’m pretty sure. Also if you didn’t notice the reason that advanced 5 combo works is because you use Lv 2 super to recharge drive gauge.

Is Jamie supposed to be one of the protagonists of the game? I Don't remember him coming up much in world tour

I cant finish marisas combos lol :(

Luke was easy af to me. Meanwhile I'm still stuck on characters like Dhalsim and Chun Li.

Now do the modern versions and compare?

I need to do 1 trial and Im done... Guile Advance 2 😢!

Now I feel like an idiot failing Manon combos…. Just not for me

Why are Ryu's feet paddles 🤣

you took the wrong guy to memphis

No shame in my game, I just put the harder combos on 50% difficulty

Very early I am🫡

Play more online.. I need more Lilly intect 😅
