Hey Diaphone! I am labbing the CH -> 236H -> microwalk -> 6H combo on everyone, and I actually can get the 6H on May, but very inconsistent for Millia and Ram. Also funny interaction with Anji. 6H lands inconsistently on Anji, and the follow up stroke H always misses. That is kinda sad. Anyway, nice guide! Learnt a lot from it.

Man Im so glad theres a content creator I like who plays my character

amazing guide

You deserve way more views on this one, currently it's the best i-no guide on youtube imo.

Thanks for taking your time to make this guide

Holy cow thanks for giving such a detailed guide and description not only in the video but the video description as well.

Thanks for the video! This really helped clarify some of the issues I couldn't quite see in my matches when I play I-No.

Glad i found you via Twitch. Great rundown on the essentials and making it easily digestible, thanks a lot for making this I-no guide!

Cool guide, learned quite a few useful things!

Thanks dude! This guide finally was able to cover all the blank points of the character! Can't wait to get into the game and try couple of things myself. Good work! Much appreciated !

Quality! I needed this guide 👍🏾

Just started to pickup I-No. Thanks for this guide!

You have my utmost appreciation, thank you!

Thank you! I’m in the 9th floor now and I’m sure this will elevate my gameplay a lot. Appreciate the work you are doing

This helps me very much! Thank you! Regardless hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and continue being a great content creator!

This is my first fighting game and I've improved so much after watching your gameplay. Thanks for the content. I-no rocks!

Bruh amazing guide!!! I've just been trial and erroring most of my matches with I-No and getting decent success but got blown up once I reached heaven. I'm going to try to incorporate some of your tips into my I-No play going forward

I can’t stop playing I-No she’s just so fun! Thanks for the vid much appreciated insight!

As someone who was a bit intimidated by all of the possibilities of I-no's kit, this video swayed me to try her out. I've been having a ton of fun with all of the mixups and mind gaming. Awesome video dude!

Very helpful I’m stuck in floor 7 and then get demoted to 6 constantly. The vid is helping me out. Thanks and subbed

Love your videos and guide. Helped me start playing with ino

Great guide, thank you!

Thank you for the guide it’s very much appreciated

2 years later. Her 6p is still the go-to mash out option

Thank you for this.

Great guide!

Excellent guide! As a new I-no player, I just wanted to share some things that I think might help other new players. 1. An easier version of the combo at 32:06: If you're having trouble getting the timing down for the ender - j.H (OTG), you can use 2S instead and it only does 1 less point of damage. HS will net you the most damage (104) but I'm not sure if it works on every character. I tested both on I-no and both work. 2. You can get in free damage after a throw by using any of the following: HS, 2S, S Stroke, 66 > j.H (OTG) 3. I noticed that a lot of people tend to mash 2P when they get hit by I-no's j.S and if you're j.S is too high it takes longer for I-no to get back on the ground. So if they're mashing 6P, there may be instances where they trade with your follow ups or sometimes even interrupt your pressure entirely. Try to get your j.S to hit their upper body and you should be good to follow up with whatever. 4. I'm sure this is common to all 2D fighters but coming from Tekken this is kind of new for me. You can buffer the inputs for your supers (quarter circle motion) during hover dash right before you land. Before your j.S connects you should already have decided what you want to follow up with. For example, if I want to do Fortissmo after j.S connects, I'll buffer the quarter circle motion during the animation of j.S. If they block, I'll be hold back so I'm safe, and if I see it connect, I finish the input for the super. I was baffled by how a lot of I-no players were hit confirming on reaction, and it's just flowcharting what you want to do if your move connects.

Best guide out. Picked up ino pre patch and she felt too sluggish. After patch speed buff I'm having a BLAST. Thankyou diaphone.

Best guide of the ones I've seen

Awesome guide.

Thanks Dia

Very Helpful video thanks a lot!~

love the detail

Been following you since late GBVS. I was maining Ram already lvl 70 on the 10th floor. Doing very well with her too. But idk what it was bro. Something about watching some more of your games made me want to completely convert to playing and learning Ino. Even though she has to work harder in neutral than Ram and I’m losing a lot I live for those mixups man 🥵😂 This video has been my bible for the last few days. I just wanna say thank you diaphone for all the time you put into this guide, you truly helped so many players out there who wish to strive with Ino. U got a fan in me forever.💪🏼 Ino gang

Amazing guide. I've been character searching for quite a while and have switch mains from Chipp to Zato and now I-No. After trying everyone out I really vibe with her, she seems to have a pretty digestible gamelan at least compared to Zato, so I decided to go for her.

Appreciate the guide

I made a wish and Lord Phone hath answered thine call. Another banger guide, salute sir.

I thought it was a good video. Then i made it through and found out it was a great video!! Great stuff!

Been struggling to pick up I-no for a week now, this is helping immensely! I just would have stuck the gameplan at the start, but that's just me.

Thanks for both this guide and the Axl one, I subscribed.

Thank you so much!

You make probably the best guides for mid level or advanced level players that I have seen. I loved all the granblue guides you did as well. I hope you keep making this style of content.

i appreciate this guide here contemplating whether or not to stay an i-no main a couple months in on the game, but i'mma still stick it out with her and just tighten up on the craft

I don't play I-No, but my brother does. I immediately sent him the video. He already recognized your name, too.

I've found that playing I-No means having to take risks and going for hard combos occasionally. A lot of options rely on very small differences in spacing and timing. Just keeping her in the air after a single S overhead long enough to condition the opponent not to block high once then low is difficult enough as it is. Her mix-up game is strong but long combos on block require a lot of effort to keep up, and they aren't safe if the opponent can comprehend what's happening. Really strong in a good player's hands, and her basic game-plan is approachable by new players as well. Definitely a 2* ease of use character, but really rewarding and fun to play even at the basic level.

Wow... I learned a lot of new things about I-No here I'll definitely have to Practice her ➡️ P through Fireballs

Finally I’ve been waiting

thanks

My thanks

Fantastic guide. Turned me from a scribbity scrub into someone who often wins my tower matches.

Sensei out here making guides I see so I can beat him

i will be reffering to this video for some time to come thx a lot brudda bless up

I-No guide after Axl guide? Man, are you doing This videos specially for me? Thanks

As a day 1 I-NO main, I'm gonna give you guys some advice for using antidepressant scale. You have to and I mean Have to go into the training room/Dojo and learn to full-screen arc antidepressant scale If you're playing as I-no you will run into this problem. People are going to Jump over your projectiles at any moment and Be right in your face. Learn to put the projectile in a position where they have no other choice but to block it. On wake up make it go low so that it hits them meaty( If you don't it will fly over their heads and you'll get punished). Mid-screen, make it go up and straight so that they can't jump over it. Fullscreen Make it rainbow, when they see it going up, it will get discourage them from jumping but they don't know it's coming back down and by the time they realize that they'll be blocking it and taking a mix. You can even make it go up and over Ky's projectile to punish him. Guys, get into the training room and practice this, it's a very valuable tool to have knowing how to instantly lock down your opponents with antidepressant scale. It's not that hard to learn, just takes a little practice. You won't be able to rush people down if you can't make them sit down. That's why the devs let us control antidepressant scale to that degree, As an I-no player don't just throw the fireball use it with intent. You can even purple roman cancel antidepressant scale to create full screen 50/50's set the fireball to go low purple roman cancel it then run a little bit in front or even behind it while you go high and watch them guess. P.S Keeping Chip, Giovanna, and Milla on the ground Is impossible without well-timed and placed Anti Depressant scales. The goal of I-No is to slow down the opponent and then Kick it into High gear with her mix remember that. Control the screen that's what Anti Depressant Scale is meant to do. Great video BTW

One nice thing about the Note control in this game, you have enough control over it, you can go up a bit, then down, and hit Potemkin / Nago in the head while avoiding flick / antiprojectile clone. Potemkin starts feeling quite sad when they see you do that.

I'm glad i'm not the only I-no that goes "blargh" during Fortissimo

I've always been one to go for characters I like and trying to learn them, but in GG that character was Happy, and he's just unbelievably hard and hurts my fingers a lot. To the point where it made me hate this game cuz I didn't find it fun but I started trying out all the characters (although I still avoided I-no). Eventually I was so bored with the game I gave her a try and despite her being the same difficulty as Happy, everything clicked. She's so fun. For some reason her inputs just flow super easily and Stroke the Big Tree is such an easy and fast command that always lets you either close in distance, mix up, or extends combos that it's simple but also complex. The video helps accentuates all the goodies about I-no and explains a lot. Thanks I can't wait to try a bunch of the stuff in this video and hopefully get even better.

For the bnb combo I couldn't the OTG for the life of me. I changed from the j.H to a 2S and I can get the 5th hit pretty much every time now

are you planning on making any more if these videos besides I-no and Axl? I've found both if these so helpful and I'd love if there was a Faust one I could recommend to my friend looking to main him.

Loved the video, gave me really good understanding of the character to counter her properly. Tbh, even w the guide react-blocking her is not realistic, would you mind doing a video about the mindset and risk management when blocking ino? How to option select some situation properly, when is a good ideia to mash etc

Fantastic breakdown man.

A Ky guide would be god like

Thanks a lot for this guide. I needed it desperately. Also orange I-no is the best I-no.

Just got into the game, I see guitar character I main

Found a meterless wallbreak combo in the corner that starts with an unlikely opener (6H), but I could see it working in some cases when your opponent tries to take their turn. The reason i think it's worth mentioning is that it does a ton of damage (247 to Sol). 6H -> delayed hcl (but they still need to be high up) -> 66 j.H -> 6H -> delayed hcl, hcl, hcl

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

Hey Diaphone, I just picked up Guilty Gear Strive Recently for my PS4 and decided to learn I-No as she’s fun to play and well, as a straight male pretty good to look at too just being honest but yeah, I won’t probably try to memorize all of these moves at once I’ll probably just stick with a few while learning the basics of the game and then add to it to patch up the holes in my gameplan as I-No as I continue to learn the game with her.

After heavy stroke hits You can go into 6HS pretty consistently by just holding forward and mashing the heavy, It says on the combo counter that it works on may aswell (and yea the stagger recovery is set to fast)

If you are a beginner and you are unsure of where to learn the character, don't go to a combo video. Watch this instead. 100% recommended.

Hey dia GREAT video I've been maining i-no and having so so much fun. Quick question when you say "break the divekick" for the corner combo how are you doing that exactly? Is there a special command? Thanks!!

I love you

Can someone help me, I’m trying to do the rc combo but I can’t seem to figure out how to do jumping slash that is in the video. I would greatly appreciate a hand with this :)

Do you have any tips for landing the chemical love as soon as possible in your combo at 36:01 On your video it looks like the opponent is falling into the hitbox of the chemical love but every time I do it as fast as possible the chemical love whiffs. When I try to wait slightly it ends up hitting them directly instead of them falling into it. Thanks so much for this video it was really helpful.

wow 41 minute guide? great work! any chance for doing may next?

I hope you respond to this, im new to strive and somewhat fighting games, im top 5k global in dbfz for pc and i just picked up strive. on the 236H confirm why do you not do something like 236HS > 6HS(2) > 236HS > (dl) 5HS? is it only for oki or is it because of the character size differences?

Any plans on doing other characters? Love the great insight

There's an RC combo I've been using that works on most characters when you're close to the wall where you use your body to drag them closer and get into a jH -> 6H -> hcl -> wall break. Does >200 damage but it's a bit tricky cause your dash timing matters a lot. It goes starter -> forward rc -> dash and hold to drag them to corner -> j.H -> 6H as you hit the ground -> hcl (sometimes more than one hcl required to splat depending on opener) -> they splatted An example from starting point midscreen: h.stroke, microwalk (or not depending on character), 6H, 236H, 66 RC, brief pause, 66 j.H, 6H, hcl, hcl, hcl Does 215 to sol + wall breaks from midscreen using 1 bar. Not too bad!

Will you being doing guides for other characters like you did for axl and ino?

i am really really struggling with the 66 > j.h i just cant hit the character either i press heavy to early and i-no falls to the floor or i press it to late and the character hits the floor and i cant connect it any tips as to what im doing wrong is it a slow sequence that my mind is racing to far ahead to do or is it a tight sequence that i need to be really precise with ?

how do you jump cancel out of the air spins? im trying to jump, dash and nothings working. Im trying to do the combos but just do the 236HS spin and cant get j.s to come out

Any idea why sometimes I'm not getting a wallsplat with the RC combo you show off in the video? I'll see the same damage numbers and it feels the same, but they just don't splat (I was learning it against Sol in training room, with specifically the cr.S -> s stroke if that helps). Edit: Looks like it might be distance to the wall.

Thanks for the guide but one question. I can do the RC combo but my opponent is not getting wall stuck. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

If you are playing on a controller/gamepad, put the dash micro on the right trigger. thank me later

i only chose her because of her theme

I keep missing the 214K in the corner combos set ups. Im either doing it too early and it whiffs or too late and i cant get the air dash HS. Any tips?

Was expecting more from counter hit 6HS

I can't for the life of me do that RC combo. oof.

For the first BnB combo, what are the considerations when choosing whether to go for j.K or j.S to start with?

Does anyone know what Diaphones button layout on his arcade stick is for this game? is it as it shows on the bottom of this video?

Cant seem to get that i-no rc combo to work midscreen unless it pushes them to wall

Out of curiosity, how long did those corner combos take for you to start landing? I generally consider my execution to be pretty solid, but I'm mad inconsistent on both corner routes.

sorry, im not a native english speaker. i heard what i think he said "f.d. brake" i think he meant forwards dash break, and i saw ino glowing green while dashing in the air. so fd brake would be S+HS while dashing so you can break and fall faster? is that right?

I've heard ppl say she's the second hardest char after zato. Is this true and if so is it a mechanical thing like zato or just game knowledge stuff?

how do you cancel the divekicks?

Holy shit I can't do these corner combos at 36:00 to save my life and I've been sitting in training trying to lab one of them for hours 😭😭😭, I can't seem to ever follow up with a dash in time after a hcl or cancel the j.236s in time to get a j.S or j.HS does anyone have any tips or maybe an easier meterless wallbreak combo route?

What can I do after I counter with 6H?

I'm dumb and am trying to learn ino, but how are you canceling 236hs into a jp? I cant seem to do it.

Idk why but for the corner combo, when I do 2S into 6HS, It does 5HS instead

Idk why. But sometimes the enemy drops out of H sultry after my J.D. I'm not sure why. Sometimes I only get 1 or 2 hits and they fall out. Anyone know why?

I want to main this character as a secondary so bad but I just can't wrap my head around any of those corner combos. None of them seem to work for me. No Matter how many times I try JK > JD just will not combo
