Exactly this; knowing what to do and being able to do A) The right move for a specific situation and B) Doing it under pressure are very different things. Combine this with the fact that in order to know whether it's the right move you have to be considering your opponent's options and playstyle and it just gets harder. But as Papa says, you've just got to break it down into its requisite parts; reading the opponent, understanding their next move... this can change from match to match, so it's hard to 'pre-load' this information aside from character win cons. On the other hand, the ability to do mechanics on demand can and SHOULD be something that requires little to no thought. The second you realise you need to dash block and then dash poke challenge, your body needs to be in motion, which naturally means you can't be thinking about it in the moment. Things like dash guard, timing your counter-poke or neutral jumping immediately can seem like incredibly simple options, most of them require very few inputs, but being able to choose them from a nearly infinite list of potential options at the exact moment they become relevant takes practise. And sure, you can think about these on a match by match basis, but then say goodbye to your 'intuition'; faster players will eat you alive. As someone who started off purely on intuition and struggles to slow down enough to let my 'sit and think' brain work, this also applies in reverse; if you mostly play based on instinct and 'gut feelings' then this will all sound fairly silly... 90% of your play is done at the speed of thought, but then you run into the opposite problem: not giving your brain the time to analyse which move is the RIGHT one. Finding that balance is the key to jumping up a level, it just took me an incredibly long time to realise.

This is essentially that diagram of the mental stack compressing with experience. To improve, you need to do the sit and think so that when you are in the match, it's "jump? cr.hp", not "oh god what do I do uhh I guess anti-air? But which button???"

No one processes stuff like this in actual matches, people think about it after and outside of matches and eventually you subconsciously remember what decisions are good and what gets you killed.

What?

@@BoostedBonobo101 watching character guides can give you helpful insight on what a character is strong at and what a character is weak at reading comprehension

@@animeprofilepicture8855 what?

A video like this is literally what got me into fighting games. I was like, there _has_ to be some strategy to fighting games, I know people play tournaments and stuff. So I searched "fighting game match analysis", and I got a sick jmcrofts video breaking down a Daigo game. Boom, I'm hooked

3d games take it even farther, everything takes a turn - pokes, lows, mids, defense, movement, everything. Act out of turn and you get blown up. Last time I played a GG game it seemed like my opponent's turn started at "Duel 1, FIGHT!" and ended when I died.

I'm glad he finally took that Christmas tree down.

@@TheHinni1234 wasnt that a st. Patricks day tree?

if jiyuna looks pale it's probably just the clown makeup

@@asmartphoneinquarantine3269 I think its just a "insert current holiday here" tree.

Draw, go.

Yeah that is why it is usually harder to play against low lever players, they throw random stuff constantly out of nowhere, and you have to adapt ASAP to wait and punish, then sometimes they are really better and when see you can punish them they stop doing it and play differently so you are now thrown off worse than before lol

telling whether your opponent is thinking or not is also a skill. i Wouldn't know but thats what ive been told ( ´∀｀)

I forget who said it or the exact phrase but this reminds me of the phrase “The greatest sword fighter doesn’t fear fighting the second best sword fighter, but the worst.”

Watch match analysis of high level/pro matches. Usually people explain what is going on. It's more common than videos specifically talking about fighting game tactics.

@@charliericker274 Thank you!

Yeah GG is in the a strange position where it's hard to get into for SF/KoF players because of too many options, but also hard for BB/UNI players because of too few options.

@@Stroggoii what’s BB and UNI

brew what u expecting from jiyuna

Lol dude Sajam is the one talking. Jiyuna is in the left corner in the video

How could you forget *random EX tackle*

Being a scrub isn't about your level of play, its a mindset.

But then he has to get into Sol's optimum range. c.S is best landed after a jump in or a knockdown, otherwise you are just greedy and can get punished. I'm not too sure what Ky's 6H is off the top of my head, but most 6Hs are pretty high commitment. If it works, it works well and leads into crazy damage and such, but it can also get you into a lot of trouble if it whiffs (like if he just jumps over it). Running in and doing a meaty c.S is definitely good, but still pretty risky against Sol as Ky I think. I think keeping his range was the better option in this particular case. I agree with Sajam's analysis.

@@GriFFonRec4 Ky's 6h itself can be canceled into specials (beta at least) so you can make it safe by canceling into foudre arc which safe or plus if the opponent has shock state. Ky's 6h was a pretty good button so I was surprised no one was using it.

@@CrowsofAcheron You have to hit with it though, cannot special cancel if you whiff. Off a c.S it's likely good, but depending on your philosophy, maybe it's not worth going into meaty c.S>6H>foudre if now it's Sol's turn and you are closer to him. Poking him and waiting for him to make a mistake is probably a better long term plan, though I'm not a Ky player. Having the corner is great, you don't have to smash them through the wall immediately, they cannot retreat, and if they make a big mistake they take 40% and you get positive bonus. That said, you don't really have to risk it either. I personally think KV played it smart. Oh and to my knowledge literally ANY normal can be special canceled. It's not really a matter of it being a beta, that seems to be a core design philosophy. Not all normals cancel into each other, more notably the P and K normals, but every normal cancels into specials, to my knowledge.

@@GriFFonRec4 There are a bunch of command normals which are not special cancelable, such as Ky's 6k and Sol's 6h. Command normals in GG tend to be character unique. You said that KV played it smart, but he basically just let Sajam out of the corner after standing in far slash range for like 3 seconds. My initial point was that Ky doesn't need to anti-air to do good damage in Strive. This assumption is a holdover from Xrd, in which Ky could do huge damage from anti-airs, but not from any other situation without meter.

yeah thats halo and siege literal point and click adventures

@@animeprofilepicture8855 I mean, I'm slightly oversimplifying it. Because they do get deeper than that, but those kinds of tactics and thinking require an actual team, and since I play SoloQ it doesn't really work. Sure I could TRY the more effective and complicated strats and tactics with like Thermite, Capitao, Ace ETC....but that relies on my teammates. Or I could just pick Maverick, Ying, Lion etc. and Unga-Bunga my way through with just enough utility to actually help out if it turns out the other apes on my team have brains.

Identify a situation, feel out what your opponent likes to do, try to predict and counter that play. Now it's mind games.
