Do you have any advice on getting better with other high players? Apart from combos.

Mostly Asura players

@@treadmill7962 focus on learning how to catch people and avoid getting caught one weapon at a time

@@Penemue Thank you

@Denis-ul2ek sounds like your opponent is tech chasing you consistently. mix up how you respond to reset from a combo and you should be fine

ngl comments like these keep me going thx

Wanted to say that I've just watched this and completely agree - such a helpful guide that revisits key learnings from each stage. Are you a teacher by any chance? Haha.

@@DJINXP no, did i choose the wrong career? kids make me giga angry, most of them cry in "work life balance" before having achieved anything and will probably cause the collapse of society before 2040

I am also in agreement this is the most perfect way to explain naraka combat all that’s left is character skills that are better learnt by using

​@@Penemueas an underachiever who are you to be the arbiter of a achievement.

thank you for your comment & glad you liked :)

thank you, i appreciate your opinion coming from a fighting game player

What if I’m actually your history teacher? Have you thought about that? Does your history teacher look classy?

@@Penemue oh no you found me

Cheers glad you like

Thanks, glad you like

Hi, I can relate to commenting very little and I feel honored by your comment. If you think my videos are worth it, please make an exception in your “no comments policy“ because the KZfaq algorithm really likes interaction (comments, shares, rewind) and your comments will ultimately help my videos reach more people. People who can learn the game and make naraka more popular.

@@Penemue since I've commented I practiced and I'm already feeling like a new player with this new logic cheers man

@@Penemue What next should I learn in your opinion? Sliding uppercuts useful?

If you’re learning the game on katana maybe learn the basic katana grapple combo (the one that hits the blue focus after the grapple slam). Then focus on catching the enemy and not getting caught. This stuff is more important than combos. Once you’re winning the neutral consistently against decent players you can revisit katana combos or move on to learning another weapon. I personally don’t play katana that much, but I don’t think sliding uppercut and knowing many combos on katana is important for a new player, except if you play Tarka in solos. It’s better to learn the basics of all weapons and play different characters in 0ban and ranked until you understand how they all work.

@@Penemue you're a goat man thank you !

Lol nvm you already have one up

我觉得我能帮助你

close the world, open the next

no u

Yup yup :)

hylomorphic by this other space

sure you have to play differently based on which weapon you are fighting, and you should also test your opponent and try to study their habits in the first few interactions

you have to learn how to spot a true combo and differentiate it from a tech chase. once you are caught, you cannot get out of a true combo (except with a combo breaker). but when you understand the combo is over and their tech chase is starting, you can use a calibrated move to avoid the tech chase

maybe i can, got some other topics to cover as well but movement is important too

kurumi, the outfit is from an old battlepass. i don't know if it's currently available

custom lobby is the way to go, i have a guide about 3ban settings to get you started

That's the part that requires the most practice. There are some difficult combos and niche tech chases, but the main challenge is about getting priority in fights, and that's what any new player should focus on before learning fancy combos.

it sounds like you're spamming holddodge instead of specifically timing your dodge and/or mixing up your reactions. if all you do is holddodge and it's not working, try other things like tapdodge, double dodge, s-dodge, repair dodge, hold blue, light attack, even double jump into grapple, and change up your timing (tech chases depend on enemy timing as well, some people expect you to do a certain thing at the earliest timing available and want to punish you, so doing it a little later might work great) i don't want to give too specific advice here, the general learning is to try out different reactions against different types of attacks and figure out what works and what doesn't. do not mash the same button 100 times and expect different results

don't know if this is a video topic, but mixups are important. try not to do the same thing to recover all the time

glad you like the guide hard disagree with your opinion though, the game is still a decision making simulator on the highest level, it's only mechanical to the likes of us who still have a lot of mechanical things to learn if you have a poorly timed blue or spam attack, you will 100% get punished by good players. the existence of things like halfcharge, true combo and infinite just makes things more nuanced, it doesn't flat-out remove the decision making elements from the game most other players also know about the existence of these things, so if you are at a level where you can consistently win by using these mechanics, it probably means you are underrated and will rank up soon. the real fun is still ahead

hi, you're welcome to DM some info via discord: heaven0762

Your ping is too high, you can’t react on what you see. You have to predict. If there’s anything you can do to lower your ping, try to focus on that.

@@Penemue sigh that means I gotta have really good movement to win neutrals

Ive found that jumping and dodge works sometimes

at the end of a combo, choose an option you think the enemy won't tech chase (dodge in different ways once or twice or hold blue, depending on what you expect the enemy to do). make sure to mix it up

i don't own a console so i can't help with that, but the easiest thing you can do is open the control settings and see what input is required on your platform for each action

i don't know the manhua but people have been comparing the combat to minecraft so nothing surprises me anymore lol 😅

RMB= right mouse button LMB= left mouse button

what happens on their screen is somewhat unpredictable to them too, you can always try to parry from a safe distance where they can't punish if you miss, or shoot or scalerush them. it's awkward for them too and i don't think there are many players who manage to consistently play well on red ping; you should be able to kill them

melee aim assist always on, grapple aim assist should be set to automatic / manual

@@Penemue thank you 🙏

Alluring Obake from the first season bp

@@Penemue Is that a Kurumi skin? I don't see it in her outfits.

@@kami6374 maybe it's not visible because it's not currently available. some chinese spear skins are also not visible in the list because there is no way to get them right now. need to wait till they return to shop

C = crouch Lmb = horizontal attack Rmb = vertical attack A1 A2 A3 = horizontal 123 B1 B2 B3 = vertical 123

Chinese changing severs? What do you mean?

@@Penemue ia it just normal to see asian people playing on american servers? lol

​@@fivestatic2224 every 6th person on earth is chinese. the game has much marketing in china but little outside of asia, so the vast majority of players on any server are chinese. 99% of the people with chinese names you see on non-chinese servers are chinese people living in the region they play on. if you die to someone with a chinese name, it's not a ping abusing hacker who dedicates their live to ruining the gaming experience of innocent westerners, but an exchange student or expat worker from china who wants to enjoy low ping and a stable connection to their closest server, same as you you can very easily verify this by making friends with the chinese people you encounter on NA server source: i'm a secret service agent of the eastern bloc who was hired to mislead people like you by telling them the truth. we've tried fake news all these years, now people expect us to lie so we started telling the truth. what a plot twist! jokes aside, the "chinese ping abuser myth" has been around since launch and it's simply not true. i wouldn't play the game for 2+ years if i was a constant victim to evil exploits

Mix up how you recover after enemy combo (for example, don’t do a single backwards holddodge every time like 99% of new players)

@@Penemue oh yeah i do that. By mixing up u mean?

@asura8971 just don’t do the same thing all the time. Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Just don’t be insane 👍

call it neutral if you like, but neutral isn't properly defined. to some people 1ban is neutral, to others 3ban is neutral in naraka. so you might as well give it a name that captures what it's about

d'aww. not sure if i would then have new players ask how to perform a vertical attack? not sure if it's possible to please everyone

@@Penemue but vertical attack is called vertical attack regardless of the platform, so any player who’s done the tutorial knows what a vertical attack is. that’s like saying new players wouldnt know how to use a grapple if you said the word grapple lol

i get messages like "can you teach me how to level my valda" when the game literally has a checklist full of quests in the valda cultivation tab, with instructions on where to find toxic shrooms etc. it's very difficult to anticipate the reactions and the skill level of viewers in advance sometimes@@simpliar3959

ofc it's much more complex, what gave you that idea?

​@@Penemue because parrying someone gives huge advantage. master it then you are unbeatable. just imagine if every blue focus thrown at you get parried. it's like viper unlimited ulti.

most attacks can't be react-parried, so it's not realistic to expect you can parry everything with enough practice @@tuankumiskotak

@@Penemuemaybe he's just skilled enough to predict blue focus and I believe some random chinese dude already mastered this
