The Elphelt guy himself making a How to counter Elphelt video first is crazy
man is so good that he make sure everyone catch on him
Probably because they know a ton of players are going to complain about it being a problem when they just don't want to learn or lab
The only way to be a master is to expose all your weaknesses. If you can overcome anyone who know all your weakness you've conquered yourself and anything that can oppose you.
He wants people to deflect shield after the first rekka, then he's going to just not attack and wait to punish it with c.S. It's all part of the plan.
Makes it more fun.
You know watching this video made me realize that Johnny has a 6 frame jab, and having to play against Elphelt a lot yesterday made it an unforgettable lesson.
Meanwhile I play Bridget and all it did is make me realize that I needed to hit the kick button because anything else is too slow lol
as a johnny main getting bodied by every elphelt capable of pressuring into rekka i feel you my brother
No wonder
so wtf do we do now???
@@fartfacefromspace5678 I learned eventually that you either pray for a trade or you can gamble a 2P since it’s a 5 frame
Should note that she can whiff cancel the rekkas, the cancel window is just a bit later than on hit.
Nago bitch slapping Elph out of a combo is something I need more of in my life.
The fact that elphelt is canonically in love with nago makes this even better. "Learn with Nago on how keep Elphelt TF OFF YOU"
I mean she pretty much loves everyone
Must be your first Guilty Gear Game
Great video hotashi, FGC needs these bite-sized tips videos like these
We used to have them, I dunno what happened.
@erikkublack4523 the community doesn't listen, content creators realised they get more views via over sensationalising any little thing.
@@hakumenx1 Sadness.
@erikkublack4523 i too believe random youtube comments 🤤
@@JupitersWindySkiesI mean it's very likely, it's either what he said or they didn't care anymore (which I doubt).
i can only imagine hotashi making this video and posting it thinking "i don't wanna hear y'all bitches complaining about this rekka"
Major Respect for using Cave Story music
the og ost too, the PROPER organya shit
We're making it out of Blood-Stained Sanctuary with the upgraded Polar Star with this one!
all of this deep and profund talk on the depth of how to counter it.
and me in the corner just going VULCANINC VIPAH!
Also one thing of note, well the low and high technically are the same speed the first hit of the overhead whiffs on crouchers so it’s actually frame 16 not 14. I think the elphelt player can delay the low to make it a true 50/50. Also I might be wrong about all of this, new character and all. Even if I’m right a 2 frame difference is not gonna be easy to fuzzy.
didnt include this since its overwhelming
@@Hotashi fair
smart way to make people use a mechanic more, design a character that's weak to it.
When the only reliable counter is one mechanic.. then it's a bad design
@@user-ir8te9me9rnot really it can be good sometimes
@@user-ir8te9me9r This is why fighting games are badly designed in general. Lots of stuff you have to block, it's awful.
@@user-ir8te9me9rdawg u just watched a video of other counters
@@snowys4168 Oh no, you cant mindlessly mash on defence. How terrible...
Haven't looked at strive for some time, but I actually came back just because of her. I forgot how detailed your videos are! Also, good music choice with Running Hell
On most (all?) of the cast, first hit of the high will whiff meaning you can potentially consistently fuzzy block, it’s a 2 frame window for the switch though.
Man this rekka is something else. I’m a pretty high level player and id like to think I’m good at adapting to situations, but it took 45 minutes of a random Elphelt looping the resets on me before I felt consistently able to defend.
hotashi is the type of person to prepare people against his own character so he can hit back with double
I really appreciate this format, hell ya thank you sir
Thanks🤝🏾 I was learning how to play her but didn’t really figure out many ways to deal with her lmao
literally just came here from getting my ass beat three times in a row as Nago, how did this guy get a recording of my match to start the video game with?
Thanks for the tips Hotashi.
Can we look forward to a full Elphelt guide once we know her better?
Thanks for the video Hotashi!! Really helpful
Thanks for making this. This should be useful for both fighting Elphelt and playing her since I know the counter play and might be able to try countering the counter play
Initial view of Elphelt after day one, Hotashi
As someone who's interested in maining her it'd be nice to have a video about how she matches up in neutral against characters with different ranges. Basically her rough game plan against the different character archetypes
Bro you only spam that chian shit and win, there is no "How she matches with others" its the same for everyone
@GrEEnF1Re1 this person has been losing to elphelts lately
Her gameplan is to mash buttons without thinking like any character in strive
@@devinnix9071
He's not entirely wrong tho.😂
She's a rushdown character. Her "gameplan" is to rush people down. That's always her gameplan. If she isn't doing that, she's probably losing.
@@Etikal lol you remind me of myself ignorantly thinking other fgs were "mashing without thinking" when i was new to fgs. embarrassing, but youll learn eventually. strive neutral has thinking just like anything else does
great choice of music, love hearing cave story every now and then
Great video! Got straight to the point and didn’t add anything unnecessary.
Visually breaking it down really helps. Thank you
Local Man Beats Unbeatable Block String By Pressing The Punch Button (Part 20)
This is rally helpful as a pot player as a lot of my moves are not very fast. So knowing when i can interrupt moves is nice.
Wasn't expecting Cave Story music on a Strive video, but I"m not complaining
As an Elphelt main running into a lot of other Elphelts, this is going to make fighting them way more enjoyable! Thanks Hotashi!
Thank you for the banger guide Hotashi! Ngl I was struggling.
Hotashi, it is not even one week yet you are now releasing tips to destroy your main already? 😅 This is madness!
The Noel Vermillion special
At 0:39, I think the gaps in c.S > 214S and 2H > 214S are 4 frames, so they lose to Sol 5K and trade with Sol 5P. 5H > 214S and 6H > 214S both counterhit Sol 5k though
Great video ! Would be amazing to have a guide about her projectile setups.
You're a legend for the cave story music
If you crouch block 214S, the first overhead leaves a gap for DP... I wasn't used to taking too much notice of the crouching in gap blockstings, she is less braindead than expected
Appreciating the Cave Story jams. ♥
Nice guide! Didn't know she was a knowledge check character. Thank you!. And damn, I completely forgot deflect shield! Thank you for joggling my brain a little LMAO.
Every character is a knowledge check character
As a fledgling Asuka player, I sometimes felt like my brain can't breathe into her.
The knockdown war is brutal; if Asuka wins he gets to play again the minute his pressure wanes, if Elphelt wins on the other hand...
*oh god I'm in the blender and this time she put on the lid*
This video helped me tremendously, especially with her Oki setup which usually lets her get into her second pass of the Rekka very safely.
Thanks for the tips, if there is anything i could be doing to make my chances better when beating 214H as okizeme with its mix-ups, that'd be a great help too.
Worth noting that rekka 1 is always backdashable. Harder to pull of with characters that have short backdashes (may, millia) but they get the most reward since they can mash to beat all followups after backdashing. Standard backdash characters can throw P or K followups, but need to mash on S.
as an elphelt main thank you for the guide on how to get better at the character
This guide is great and all (like genuinely so helpful) but for any sol players watching you ain’t gotta learn all this shit just hit 5k when you see the flip (hold it after 2h tho then 5k the next flip) remember, never block always hit buttons
Good info. Thanks. I heard P can help, though I can't always react after it's started.
And use whatever I have to get out. FD, YRC, burst, & will remember B.Shield.
Love the music selection, Cave Story FTW
This is useful as someone looking to learn elphelt and as someone scared of blocking *that*. Btw would you be willing to show off setups for the command grab?
I was sure, of all the best GG creators out there, you would be the one to put this out. Thx for the tips ❤
thank you for this. having way too many elphelts as opponents who just spam miss charlotte or chain lollipop when they get low on health, it's infuriating
I literally just bought GG Strive bc it was on sale and i'm only facing Elphelts and being destroyed by spamming this so this guide is very much helpful
Lol got on Strive for the first time in a while and dealt with this and was so discouraged lol thank you 😂😂
Haven’t played in a year+ and this move was cooking me
ty for the guide! love the cave story music btw
Wait am I dumb and missed it- how do you counter if she just spams the startup S for it? Isn't it -2 on block which isn't enough for punish, and you have to wait for a rekka followup, or did I misread?
Thanks for this!! I can use all the help I can get for sure haha
My man playing the long game making sure elphelt isn’t up played
im glad im not the only person who thought lollipop chainsaw when they did her breakdown
Great music choice
great video and great choice on the cave story music c:
Fellow cave story appreciator
hotashí have you considered making tutorials on notepad with dubstep in the background
Great video, thanks for the upload
Thanks, Hotashi. 🙏
You’re a real one for this
Love the Cave Story music :)
ok but can u make a guide on her offense? friend is asking
What about FD fuzzy backdash?
I like the fact that rekka means truck in Finnish
I am not getting robbed by chain lollipop, I am robbing with chain lollipop.
Thanks for making this. I was wondering how the hell you are supposed to get out of that pressure, and this does help a lot.
Also, it just dawned on me how much scarier she would have been if they hadn't removed counter-hit-slow on rekkas.
Holy shit, it's been some time since I've heard anything from Cave Story
ty hotashi. the ol reliable
As an Axl main who bought the game on the patch day 1 and had to deal with an army of Elphelts...
Your best bet is just NOT TO LET ELPH GET IN.
I found great use with the new tornado move for cancelling out hee fireballs quickly and when I have the chance to set up the charged version, I can approach more comfortably, use Rensen, 2H or any other moves and if she gets caught blocking in it I can do left-right mixups or get more distance and reset the situation. Can't let her just run in of course, but for Rekkas I just use FD, RS, even Burst or I can save the meter use his reversal super since she can't block when doing them.
Fighting Elph really helped me get the fundamentals of Axl's zoning game down.
Bro right? I started yesterday also with axl. Also played some potemkin. I'm gonna have to start using that tornado move. I haven't been using it.
also dont forget whisteling wind (214K), amazing if an enemy loves airdashing in
Cave story music goes hard
wait thats fucked? i as a potemkin main have to either 5p or waste all my burst to simply stop the sequence? and then if it starts again pray im able to stop the seqeunce by trading a jab or by instant blocking?
Instructions unclear, stuck playing Cave Story
I must defeat the white woman tricknology
Did anyone else catch “Lollipop Chainsaw” or are we just calling it that now?
All of these really tight frame gaps just scream Baiken Parry to me.
Can you do a vid for "Bomb Bomb Chocolat" I'm trying to figure out how to use it set play wise.
I wonder if you can grab after she switches sides...
@@KPbb2306 iirc you can
i dont believe in the move yet
Thx mate. This a good video for a friend if mine that learning her. I'm very bad at explaining fighting game mobo even if I'm god at strive.
cavestory posting
We all know this video is for elphelt mirror matches because we’re just mashing buttons
Good ole dp nothing beats that.
that Lollipop chainsaw remake is lookin crazy
That idle animation XD
Pretty sure she can S you into corner , as it resets on roll pickup hits .
Also Axel get to pretty much sit
I think if your Baiken with the right timing with the counter it will stay quiet "maybe".🤔
Was the cave story music used to compare her to Curly Brace?
[Arcade jackpot noise]
Cave Story music? hell yeah, dope af
As a axl main my MU against Elp is even but this those rekkkas mix up are brutal 😂
Milia can just mirazh the starter/resetter move, I have been abusing this
There are people still playing Millia? That's pretty cool.
THANK
YOU
Based Hotashi
>Running Hell music
Neuron activation
Cave Story music :]
Thank you for video
love the cave story music
Ngl I laughed when I saw the subconscious typo of "Lolipop Chainsaw" lmao
"just 5p it bro" rams and baikens 5p literally dont connect due to not reaching lmao
Thank you for the cave story music
As a baiken player none of that shit is gapless so i just parry on reaction till they start leaving gaps to bait. Then i grab em and they die.
