@@BigDaddyWesIf you take a character like Chun li for exemple that is a tool box of options, there are several ways you can play to win a match, and by playing blind, you might have to adapt your gameplan to your condition, for exemple by not playing footsies, or rushdown, but focusing on zoning with fireballs. But Honda is such a one dimensional character that blind or not, it doesn't matter, the playstyle will always remain the same.
The fact that SF6 already has an accessibility feature that gives you sound related cues for every action in the game, and Sajam didn't use it and was still able to use just the game's sfx to win is so impressive on a sound front
The problem with the accessibility sounds is that they play on top of the other sounds and leads to a lot of audio stimuli the player has to process. Actually blind top players like Sven dont use the feature for this reason
i haven't watched sven's streams since 6 came out but if we're talking about him at evo, he may have not been allowed to use it in tournament, since there's no way to only toggle it for his headset.
Sajam 3 videos ago: Some people have told me that they're discouraged when they see me reach master so quickly with their main. It's ok to learn and take this journey at your own pace. Sajam in his Honda run: Ayo check this shit out lol imagine needing eyes to win
Thanks Sajam. I didn't know that Honda basically says "Eat my ass" every time he does EX command grab. Now all I can do is share this information with others.
That feeling when you face sajam and have a really close match so you go check his stream and realize you were beat by a guy who wasn't looking at the screen.
I tried watching this video blindfolded too and to my surprise every time i opened my eyes i was in the exact situation i was imagining in my head. This game's sound design is peak.
Oof, this hurts to see. Sucks that one of my biggest takeaways from watching this is I'm not spamming buttslam and headbutt *enough.* Really hoping they buff his other options, I want to use more of my kit. But I've loved this character since I saw the first trailer with him for SF6, I wouldn't have picked up the game if it wasn't for him, nor have gotten so into it, so I won't drop him. Oddly enough I do usually feel pretty good about losing to a better Honda online myself, but mirror match probably doesn't count for that lol
I've played without music since launch because it didn't really add anything to it for me... but now when I play in tourney and it has music, I've gotten so used to being able to hear minor things, it throws me off.
Imagine being so happy to fight your favorite streamer on ladder and you go 1-2 and you feel pretty good about yourself and you go into his stream to say "ggs" and he's blindfolded.
Has Sajam ever done a vid on the process of picking up a new character? I've found myself wanting to switch off from a main or pick up a pocket character a few times but always end up feeling overwhelmed or a bit lost when trying out someone new. Seeing these master rank climbs really makes me think it'd be a good vid regardless as he probably has some pretty good insight on the matter. Nice vid, thank you Chipotle🌯
Luke's feet are loud as hell, I've been noticing this ever since I turned off in-game music. I like playing with my own tunes, but also not having to hear the TMNT music that everyone seems so annoyed by.
It's amazing to me that people can have any degree of situational awareness in this game blindfolded when I can practically never tell what's happening when I can see it.
You know, more than being able to fight without looking at the screen, I find being able to somewhat tell the life the opponent has much more impressive.
@@АртёмТор-к2ю the health bar is in the corner and it changes color, even if you are not looking at it you still notice it in your peripheral vision. There is a big difference when you are completely in the dark.
The Ken at 13 mins had to have been a knower. There’s no way a diamond Ken plays like that big a coward constantly backing up and never EVER going in unless Sajam puts himself in the corner lol. Who are these players xD
Even after watching this, and dealing with this idiotic, boring character regularly, I'm not even sure how you re-balance him. It almost feels like he needs a full rework, and I highly doubt he'll get that. We don't need to scalp the dude and turn him into sf4 honda, where headbutts are quite punishable and butt slam is pretty terrible, but this version is so senseless on almost all fronts. I've bodied master hondas almost entirely on the fact that they refuse to use normals. Biggest combo I had ever seen one do was no lie, DI into level 3. Sajam rocking like 10x the honda combos than I'm used to seeing. Even worse is if you perfect parry headbutt, or anti-air butt slam properly, the damage doesn't make up for the fact that you only need to eat one of those to equate to the damage you did lol. Butt slam is also a little janky to anti-air, and if you don't notice which he did you get blown up with the punish counter. Just an anti-fun experience all around, at least imo. He's built in a way where there is so little reason to learn or adapt lol. Biggest honda adaptation you'll ever see is them doing light headbutt instead of heavy to bait stuff.
As a *certified* master rank Honda player, I concur with your woes. This character is dumb, and I play off his stupidity to success. Avoid using EX Slam where I can because good players know the timing on it and because regular slam's height changes depending on the button press which makes perfect parries extremely difficult. Mix up headbutt speed to throw off parries - In particular, use light headbutt at long range to fake out parries and get a punish counter command throw when I land in front of them. I use some delicacy here and there. Drive Rush 2MK into whatever, 6HK sometimes to poke, 5HP for punish counters into Drive Rush 5HP and Sumo Dash air juggle, infrequently OD Sumo Dash for frame advantage, 5MP counter hit/meaty into target combo, and of course the stop sign. But headbutt's such an oppressive move. I can choose when I want to rush down or sit back because Honda's privileged like that. I peaked at a 27 win streak on my climb to master and most of the matches were easy-peasy (all that said, I feel zero pity for the divekicking Cammys I beat up on the way... or the JPs who thought they could spike safely at full-screen >_>).
nah it's actually easier for your brain to react to audio indicators than visual. According to google, average reaction time to audio is 8-10 ms while visual is 20-40 ms. Even if he did practice this a bunch off screen it's still very impressive.
This is like my 3-4th time doing it so I have some practice. Also Honda is the easiest character to do this with, I struggle with a lot of other characters trying this
It’s insane how blindfolded or not, Honda gameplay is the exact same
Why would the game plan be any different? Genuine question.
@@BigDaddyWes Exactly, it wont, cuz Honda gameplay is to straight up play with your brain dead

Forbidden tech
he also does the clash royale he he haw every time he does ex butt slam
You're doing lord's work!
Honestly if i didnt know this was sajam playing blindfolded i would just assume this is an ordinary online honda lol
Imagine coming to Sajam's channel later and seeing yourself in this video.
😂😂😂
I’d dive facefirst into the Hudson on some Toxic Avenger shit.
@@bookimattmake sure to yell dosukoi while doing it
Lol, my ass ain’t making it out of silver.
Same
Within the first 5 minutes he wins will it kill blindfolded. A true master
That feeling when you face sajam and have a really close match so you go check his stream and realize you were beat by a guy who wasn't looking at the screen.
I've never seen myself get so utterly destroyed and lost, LMAO. Legit hilarious to look back at. GGs!
dog i would have been so mad at that superman punch going the wrong way
The perfection of having a Honda fight Accord.
Any character that can make Sajam cackle like an evil villain is truly a despicable creature
"You don't have sight but you have vision" absolutely Pulitzer prize winning chatter lmao 💀
Winning with "here's some beef" and getting "gotta eat big to get big" all at the same time couldn't have gone better for this sponsor.
he should get @BlindWarriorSven to coach him for a full blind Master run!
that would be epic!
Imagine thinking this is a challenge when sajam has that nose 🪿
Could smell the drive rush coming
I tried watching this video blindfolded too and to my surprise every time i opened my eyes i was in the exact situation i was imagining in my head. This game's sound design is peak.
21:10 the Ken's inputs lol
Dude that chipotle ad is genius

This is the part that gets me. Honda is so poorly designed that genuine honda fans can't differentiate themselves very much from the trolly ones
Sajam: Honda will be my vacation pick, when I wanna hit master without effort.
Also sim: what if I play blindfolded honda
Sajam's on some next level shit theming his stream choices with what ads he gets.
"i think ill have some beef" has me dyin, he takes a bite so fast its unreal
And we thought Blanka was the villain arc, this is next level
I've played without music since launch because it didn't really add anything to it for me... but now when I play in tourney and it has music, I've gotten so used to being able to hear minor things, it throws me off.

0:20 can you hear Luke's feet? *Snifff!*
I'm dead, 🤣
Wasn't there a blind guy in Evo pools playing Honda?
Yeah I believe his handle is blind warrior sven? Not sure though
Winning ranked games as Honda blindfolded is something I would expect to see in a Core-A Gaming video about character difficulty in fighting games
Who needs eyes when you can smell the game
One of the Hondas of all time
Such a good video to revisit. Totally forgot this was real
1:25:10 this whole sequence had me in tears GGs.
Has Sajam ever done a vid on the process of picking up a new character?

awesome content Sajam!
prodding with headbutts like it's sonar
what a time to be alive

This is the best Chipotle promotion ever.
Thankfully I waited to watch this the next day, cause you know I woulda made a late night chipotle run
I actually tried chipotle for the first time because of the sf6 promos
Best thing about this video is I can listen to my own music and not have it conflict with the vid's audio.
it's been 40 minutes and Sajam hasn't made a meaty joke yet, what gives
I'll never forget when he was doing sfv commentary and he's like "Amazing meaty peach from Mika!"
Sajam re-entering the villain era i see.
I used to do this with batman in injustice. But back to the TV instead of hat. Great fun
What an advertisement for Chipotle
Trying to only listen to the matches where Sajam is blindfolded, and honestly, shit's crazy hard to even recognize what's happening for me. Kudos.
The marketing worked. I’m getting chipotle
34:26 is the kinda shit that'll make me alt f4 the game for a week.
You know, more than being able to fight without looking at the screen, I find being able to somewhat tell the life the opponent has much more impressive.
Why? I don't look at the ho bar while playing. It just comes with experience

Now this is content
Superman sajam has become daredevil sajam
Sven would be proud
Um....WHAT?
25:15
My anxiety kicks in watching this haha
wow. How does he know when sb crosses him?
Everytime I go to see what Kuckleguile is doing on stream he's never there
You should do a colab with Blind Warrior Sven! Honda V Honda.
I'm glad that Jam Ketchup is sponsored by carne asada.

The evilest honda giggles from Sajam make me happy.
that's it i hate Sajam now
Take blindfolded Honda to Wednesdays Night Fights or TNS just for the salt.
blind warrior jam
name shoulda been CornyAzHonda
Damn, he's blind.
those koi
This degeneracy inspired me to take honda to master as my next character. I'm getting so many rage quits it's just magnificent.
Having seen the thumbnail…
You need to take that blindfold off and watch where you’re putting those fingers…! 😮
Sajam, putting on the blindfold: "I only need 30% of my power to defeat you"
I cant even win while LOOKING at the screen in Diamond rank...
Fighting games are for people who are just built different.
You meet the worst people playing Honda
All of a sudden blind Sven doesn’t look as impressive anymore 😂
Damn, hes good.
Alright now play Dhalsim blind
I can taste the salt from some of these players. 😂 Just god man 😂😂
Everybody who lost should quit the game
The video seems sus. My instincts tell me he can see. Either that or he practiced literally for this quite a bit and still sounds sus.
nah it's actually easier for your brain to react to audio indicators than visual. According to google, average reaction time to audio is 8-10 ms while visual is 20-40 ms. Even if he did practice this a bunch off screen it's still very impressive.
This is like my 3-4th time doing it so I have some practice. Also Honda is the easiest character to do this with, I struggle with a lot of other characters trying this
He is just Daredevil.
Find new instincts
This title, while certainly unintentional, could be seen as in bad taste when we have players like Sven on the scene.
No it's not. It's just factual statement of facts
Sven would love this title wdym
Not like sven is reading the title anytime soon
How about you stop actively looking for things to get mad about?
