Great video! Really cool to see my own sets featured in your work! I think it's a good overview of how she works. From myself on a deeper level I would add something, you touch on it a bit when you mention that she has some awkward conversions, that's definitely true. On a deeper level, something that most people probably don't realize, is that her goal is to get you to the corner, probably more so than most characters (I know corner is good for everyone but it's even more for her). The way tatami works with the blowback now and her general conversions, those are designed to push the opponent back or carry them to the corner, which is where her gameplan actually starts. She's extremely dangerous when cornering because of the tatami flapdown being very plus, and the ability to combo off tatami. Hitting an opponent with 5S or 2S while crouched combos into tatami (or from a counter hit) starting off the big damage combos. I think of her a bit as a "trapper" character where she wants to trap the opponent and punish them for doing something incorrect. People used to think of her mainly as a turtling character but that's just a shade of her gameplan. Cool watch!! Baku is the best.

Awesome video. Right out the gate, Woocash really nails what can make Baiken either an enthralling matchup or an infuriating one; she forces you to play very differently.

Baiken forces you to play her game. Anji forces you memorize a chart. I'd rather play a very good baiken than a anji that's my skill level.

Getting into +r for the first time recently bc of a friend, cool to see you making content on both games ive been playing more, easily becoming a channel i look forward to see uploads from :D

Ohhhhhh (slightly annoyed baiken main exhaling though their teeth), Ok I have some things I want to correct about this video. I know this was made with respect to the character but you glossed over so much stuff and if I were to go though it all no one would read it. But a lot of my complaints boil down to “There is a lot of subtle stuff that was not explained!” So just to clear one or two things up, baiken does not have the hardest execution in the game. A lot of it comes from her combos being weird (there is a historical explanation for this I just don’t have the space for). A lot of the hard stuff comes from getting your opening like IAD mat and tk DP. But OVERALL it really is not all that bad, just a bit harder then other charters and often for reasons you won’t get till you explore why the combos work. You also completely disregarded a lot of other stuff baiken has but this comment is already to long. I might show up to the discord to go over everything but I can tell you were trying your Best to dumb things down for a shorter run time and could not get everything out. Also, change your thumbnail you are completely shitting on I-No players! they deal with way worse stuff than we do!

Axl gameplay in the background we will be watching

next time would be really nice to put corresponding footage up

Good vid. Damage output is a pretty huge factor in her strength as well.

After having a bit of a character crisis I decided to pick her up and even with my trash execution I can win some QM games occasionally. +R is a hard game, every character has a wall you have to overcome somewhere in their gameplan, Baiken's wall is just right there at the start but once you start getting over it the top tier privileges are huge. Sidenote I'm european, do you think I could get some MBAACC games if I hopped into the server anyway?

Don't be shy. Little more. ❤

Baiken is so rad

Neutral the character.

nice

Blocking is for bad characters

idk man in a game with characters like ky, chipp, eddie, ino and johnny baiken i dont think she even cracks the top 5 hardest characters in +R
