Think it's an arcsystem works thing. I've heard that in GG you try and stand under the clock so if they jump and air dash you can still DP without them going over you and having to crosscut Edit: yeah same thing sajam is saying I've just got there in the vid

@@Guitar-Dog more like airthrow/6p but i get your vibe

staying under the clock to jail them in the corner is classic tech, some people used to measure distance with the squares in the training stages too

"Why even hit buttons if they can just parry" "Why even live if we're all just going to die" Glad people are getting to experience some good Street Fighter again lmao

That’s why they added that third control type for the Always Wrong Community.

I'm so gonna steal that line. I'm teaching some of my friends fighting games and they won't stop with these what if questions

Fighting games are the epitome of 'git gud'

Just like when Sajam loses and chat goes "you should have X'd their Y"

People don't realize the "yeah, but what if they do this" is the game. If they have an option that beats your option, then you're playing a fighting game.

Yeah okay but what if they can read my mind and they have superhuman powers? What do I do then?

Street Fighter 6 is built in such a way that *nothing* has 0 risk to it. Even things that had very low chances of failing in previous street fighters like well-timed meaty buttons *can* be punished hard if read properly... so don't worry about having a 0 risk option, just do your best to cover as many options as possible and adjust based on your opponent's habits. If someone keeps smoking you with something you don't have an answer for then it's time to bust out the training room and find an answer, because I guarantee everything has one... even if that answer is just blocking and going back to neutral.

Everyone starting out is risk aversion heavy. Even if the odds are in they're favor, they want A GUARANTEED X beats Y answer so they're never wrong.

Yeah but thats cringe Aint nobody got time for nonstop 50/50s Thats why every game should have dbfz's safejump Something that guarantees pressure and can't get dp or raw super on

@@Eyeupthebison nah just play the one game if that's all you want

Checkmate on character select is what i want.

Throw rock on the next clip, it never fails

Who knew Luke could do Chun Li/Rashid impersonation?

it's meant to be a strong tool

@@Darkkfated Further proof that Luke was created by Frankenstein-grafting a pair of upside-down Chun legs directly onto where his arms were supposed to be.

Just run away and then report it to the authorities (like, the TO)

Anti-air while looking straight at them. Death before dishonor.

Gun is -13 on block

To be fair, asking the "yeah but what if" is pretty much the quickest way you can figure out most scenarios. Just like real RPS, "At the start, you played rock." "Yeah, but what if my opponent chose paper?" "Then you'd lose that interaction, next time you can play scissors." "Yeah, but if they respond to scissors with rock?" "Then you can respond to the rock with paper next time." "Yeah, but then what if they choose scissors?" "Well, now we're back to your starting play of rock." "Then how can I win?" "By playing the move that beats the move you expect them to play, instead of playing as if your opponent already beat you. Now you're playing RPS."

"Yeah, but what if they do nothing?" is not somebody trying to understand the situation, it's somebody asking to be spoonfed. That's why Sajam got annoyed. Then he gave one possible random thing to do in that situation (hit them) as one example out of many possible options, and he IMMEDIATELY gets hit with another "yeah but what if they parry" If you don't want to learn the game by playing it over and over then maybe you just don't want to play the game in the first place.

The "but what if" questions aren't those though. "How do I keep someone in the corner if they keep jumping out?" is a good question. Maybe it just never occurred to you that backing up and holding space is a legitimately good pressure option in the corner. "But what if they neutral jump and parry" is just looking to be spoon fed, and yeah, maybe you DO need to get smoked by it until you can choose another option that can beat it. A better question might be "how do I deal with parry" if you legitimately don't know the mechanics of the game, "but what if..." seems more like you know the answer, you just don't think it's a good option because it loses to another one (in 99% of cases).

If there's a scenario or a series of scenarios you're unaware of how you're supposed to respond in certain matchups, you can always just enter training mode for a bit and look through your options. And if the response is "but what if I don't want to spend X amount of time in training mode to learn every matchup?" then just play online and you'll learn over time through your wins and losses. And if the response to that is "but what if I don't want to lose my online matches?" then just don't get worked up over a couple of losses. There will always be scenarios you might find unfamiliar and how you choose to respond to those in the future is up to you. It's not Sajam's or anyone else's responsbility.

​@@JackVoltTo be fair, all the questions before that are legit questions. I think chat did what it does and escalated it to just stupidity and joke questions to see what they can get away with, when he's there trying to help people.

The latter

yep, the latter. you can also think of it from the blocker's point of view, if you block the divekick really high you can get a lot of blockstun over with by the time they hit the ground

DI in neutral isn't necessarily a mistake. Some of the best pokes are not special cancelable...

counter strike has had spray patterns since it came out, they were just more random

back in your day guns aimed for you.

seriously, I loved Quake. those days are long behind us though

Maybe video games aren’t for you, gramps.

Aim for the toes

Dunno if you play Cammy but if you do, watch Punk's guide on her, he points out how to use it. tl;dw is that it's best used when they're in the corner and you can space it more easily (you always want to hit them in the shins or toes for better frame advantage). Practice spacing it right and confirming it into combo's from training mode. There's some ways to "auto-space" yourself so that divekick hits more easily like triple jab in the corner.

And every question is punishable against good players. Now what? Stop playing the game altogether? Or just accept that both sides are taking risks and do your current best?

(And other survival tips)

cap

Okay James Chen

Cammy's dive kick is really good, I have no idea what you're talking about. There's a reason that a lot of high level players call her A to S tier, it's really hard to stop her offense and Dive Kick is the cornerstone of that offense.

I'm convinced most people who think Cammy needs buffs just play her with one hand

​@@kevingriffith6011is it as good as in vanilla 4? If not its shit and needs buffs.

@@joqqeman this. plus sagat was the threat in vanilla 4 which means that cammy was underpowered if anything. qed

​@@bug-dealnah man sagat was balanced and they ruined the game when they nerfed him
