thanks for the kind words, i'm glad people get something out of these tech videos.

FRC... someboy's an accent core player :DD

i also remember something like grab rrcc cs hs 623hs dealing a fair amount of damage or something like that it might have been cs-kara dash cancel dire eclat-rrcc-cs-hs-vapor thrust or something like that

i'm not really good enough to do full guides for matchups. i just see combos/tech and think "hey i could optimize that." like I have some matchup notes that cover the absolute basics, but i also have characters i don't know how to fight and am picking up a secondary for. basically i'm confident i can tell you how to run oki but not so much how to play neutral vs whatever character.

@@crowidiot Makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

yeah i was wrong about gio. both j.s and j.h work, not just j.s. thanks, i'm glad people get something out of them.

so fun thing this combo actually does less damage because of guts. i honestly should have put a section about this in the video but oh well. if someone takes literally one point of damage, this combo now does less than the one in the video (233 vs 224). even characters with 1 guts take less damage from adding a 2k at 99% life. (on axl its 258 vs 251). against characters with 0 guts you can add in the 2k for a little bit more damage though, but at that rate its a 0 guts character so you probably want to just RRC and take the damage.

yeah so the two biggest things are as follows 1. make sure its a starter you can get c.s > dash cancel > c.s off. 5h > 236k, f.s > 236k, raw 236k, and anti airs are gonna be the common ones. 2. for the 5[D] routes in particular, its about how the 5[D] hits them. there is a little bit of precision to the dash up 5[D] after the rc, but you can eyeball it with practice. you want as much height on the 5[D] launch as high as possible, although there is some leniency there (especially on mids and lights). the only real concrete thing i can say is start charging 5[D] a tiny bit early, your dash momentum will carry you slightly forward after you start charging. for fast rc just do everything as fast as possible, it should be autotimed.

@@crowidiot Thanks, this helped. I thought they could be done off any RC before I saw this video, but off these specific starters its a lot more consistent

do a different combo. that combo is really hard and super inconsistent, 5[D] > 9 > j.h > j.d > 66 > j.h (j.s on chipp) > j.c > j.h > j.s > j.hh is infinitely easier and you lose like 7 ish damage iirc. tbh i should have also included the combo i just listed as well because the one in the video is probably not worth the extra damage. however if you do wanna grind it out anyway just to be cool and flex on people, you have to be really fast on everything. including the dl j.h. just getting the dl j.h isn't enough you have to get it as fast as possible (without getting j.hh obviously). you can also try ending with j.s > j.dd instead if thats easier for you (same damage.)

@@crowidiot Hey, pretty emberassing to ask but i just picked up the game and played like 20 hours, what does j.c and j.ss stand for? Thanks in advance!, great video btw really helping me find something to practice

@@soulbound16 nah nothing embarrassing honest question, you don't know until you ask. j.c is jump cancel i notate it wrong it should technically be jc, j.c is just a bad habit. j.ss means hitting j.s twice in a row to get dust finisher. you can think of it as j.s > dust finisher if you want. same with j.dd, j.hh, etc.

@@crowidiot Got it! Thanks dude :) edit - So how do i actually do a jump cancel? xD your help is yet again greatly appreciated

@@soulbound16 you input jump during any normal that is jump cancellable, for most characters in strive this will be 5k, c.s, and all jump buttons.

i dont remember exactly whats in this video but everything should still work. this video is outdated though, ive put out stuff thats way more relevant

second c.s always works off that starter. if you are doing the rrc 5[D] route the only tip i can really give is start charging 5[D] a little early. any route that uses 5[D] c.s dash cancel c.s needs a bit of height. otherwise the timing isn't that strict its just practice. 2s is spacing dependent. if you are too close to the wall 2s doesn't work. if you are doing the combo from roughly round start distance (also works both a bit closer and farther), then again its just a timing thing. i don't know if i show it in this video cause its been a while but you can use 2k > 6h or 5k >6h instead of 2s > 5h. its easier and works at more ranges at the cost of some damage.

so couple things 1. make sure your starter enables it. raw 236k, f.s > 236k, and 5h > 236k are gonna be the common rc starters that let you get two c.s 2. you can probably start charging 5[D] slightly earlier than you think. it carries a very very slight amount of dash momentum. as long as you are getting the right height on 5[D] c.s dash cancel c.s (or 2k off more scaled starters) should be autotimed.

second most optimal would probably be just doing the same route without the dash cancel. you lose a lot of damage and corner carry though, so i'd recommend just practicing until you can hit it. its really not that bad, just make sure you are doing a starter you can get c.s > 66 > c.s off of, and make sure the height is right. 5[D] carries a little bit of momentum so start charging it ever so slightly earlier than you think you would need to.

this vid is super outdated and shouldnt be used and also i'll use whatever music i damn well please

no? the video has full notation and clips for each combo so it would be the same thing as a combo trial.
