As someone who is very new to fighting games and specifically street fighter, watching Sajam play characters that aren't really his playstyle is really insightful. This series and the Zangief one (who is my personal main, god help me) are some of the best examples on the channel of his actual learning process. Rad stuff
Im actually curious after he finishes Road to master with all the character will he change his mind on what his main is. At this point he doesn't really have a main but ill be curious to see if he goes back to Luke after this. Also Editors good work scrubbing through all the stream video to get us the best matches.
Chat thinking these diamond players are bad when they ask about ryu sweep, not knowing that’s a excellent character knowledge on ryu’s end is laughable
Hi Sajam. I have been playing FGs since SF2 and I still cant get my head around “when is it my turn”. I probably understand theoretically (frame data, plus and minus on block etc..) but in an actual match, I get whooped. Is it just a series of knowledge checks that I have to learn or is there a way for me to intuitively get it?
@seeanthonyn hey man, so most characters have 1 normal move that is plus on block. To break down plus / minus frames basically if im plus 1 and you and i both press our fastest normals i will win out because my move starts 1 frame before yours. You basically need to know what normals are plus. There are also some special moves like heavy dragonlash from ken or heavy spin knuckle from cammy. Some examples of plus normals are guiles forward heavy punch or Ryu forward heavy punch. Good luck on the grind!
7:18 what's the difference between a modern player walking backwards under the timer, waiting for a jump, and hitting a dp and a classic player doing the exact same thing? it's slightly mechanically easier yeah but the modern player still created the right situation, right?
This is probably something you already know, but you can DI Zangief's charging punch on reaction. You had many opportunities to do so against Grabs a lot.
Sajam, I don't know if it's anything you can do on your end, but I've noticed that your videos have really poor bitrate quality? Even on 1080p It looks extremely blurry. Is this something you can fix or is it youtobe throttling the bitrate?
She can get in on Guile fairly easily with spin knuckle if you boom too predictably. Once she has level 3 stocked you basically can't throw booms at all. So you have to mostly fight her with normals.
10:49 one of the MOST IRRITATING THINGS IN ALL STREET FIGHTER being LITERALLY UPSIDE DOWN you are still weak to sweeps. Made me RAGE as M Bipson back in sf4
Did you watch past that point? The upside down kick does go over sweeps. The reason Sajam said it didn't work is because the Ryu was only sweeping the sonic blade.
Yessss!! Finally, it’s MY turn to watch Sajam pick up my main and eclipse me in 10 minutes so that I can try to ride upwards through the ranks by desperately clinging onto his coattails.
The first step to being great is to copy the greats, and since Sajam is learning the characters live, you can absorb more information that you can apply to your own skill set. Once his are yours you can start mixing them up to make your own style with conistent training and mindful reflection. Godspeed
@@jahimalnar7978yo i have a pretty weird but specific question, what does godspeed mean? Im not from an english speaking country nor am i chritian. But why would god be so fucking fast? Regards, Random internet weirdo
by the time any individual makes masters, they can work most diamonds over like sajam. the difference isnt sajams character knowledge, the difference is sajam has years of experience building up fighting game fundamentals, getting a good ability to analyze opponents, rotate his own options, and develop intuition on habits. the same diamond player sajam works over is probably one that has slaughtered me. also holy fuck did not know that about blade.
43:27 "Why does it feel weird to do flashkick in this game" I knew I wasn't the only one feeling it. Flashkick feels really finnicky in this game. I was playing Guile's Trials and even though I can do Deejay's Up-Kicks 10/10 times. Sometimes Guiles Flashkick just won't come out. I do wish SF had a more lenient 'Hold time' like anime games do, but that's neither here nor there.
I find it funny Sajam’s chat thinks his fights are easier. I’m in Platinum and just happy to keep grinding since SF6 is the first time I’ve ever tried a fighting game seriously. What’s it matter how skilled a player is when we’re all trying to climb the same mountain?
Just cuz he’s in theory climbing that mountain then jumping off to climb again before you’ve reached it once and when that happens you excuses come out. I’m a diamond 5 cammy but when I get on after work I wind up sucking and going back down to D4 and end up quitting before I annoy myself in a cycle every couple days but I know it really is only gonna take one good night where I’m in good spirits to finish the journey off and go to my secondary chun
It really depends on the day with that tbh. My Manon climb was very chill for the most part, with a lot of "free" wins because of people doing outlandishly bad things. My chun climb was looking kind of similar til around diamond 4 where it felt like every other match was a master player til I hit master lol. In a way that made my climb "easier" (like I got 360 points for taking a game off Samurai), but I was definitely playing way higher competition. I will say in Sajam's case, it is always impressive how many people are able to corner him (sometimes in burnout) and do nothing with it, or worse, completely throw the opportunity away by doing something crazy. But that just seems to be a problem a lot of players have in general.
@@steponmeplease6217 You can get to platinum in sf6 with like a 30% winrate because of how winstreaks work up until that point, they made the ladder pretty easy to climb. This is also my first SF and I'm diamond 2 already.
@@steponmeplease6217 I think easier is the wrong word. More accessible fits better. Capcom has put significant effort in making the game more approachable for new players including the ranked grind itself which isn’t as bloated as in SFV. Many pros have said getting to Master is a much easier grind than Warlord was because there aren’t as many ranks and the point system is more forgiving. Platinum should be very achievable for most players who put a small amount of time in.
This was one of the early complaints about this new Guile, but you hear him say Perfect ! 90% of the time instead of his regular Sonic Boom lines and it's so much less cool. :(
Hey Sajam, wanted to say I really enjoy your content and listening to your advice on these Road to Masters has really improved my game, and I just wanted to say thanks for that
Genuine question at around 28:42 when guile is doing is level 3 are you pressing buttons when he's doing the kick for something? I see a lot of players when a character is doing a level 3 hear them pressing buttons when a character is inflicting damage. Does pressing buttons during a level 3 do more damage or are you just playing around them to pass the time?
Why isn't your left hand terrible? My poor joystick control is my biggest execution weakness and it seems like a decent number of advanced players built good left hand dexterity doing things like playing instruments.
Maybe this video will actually make people realize Guile has matchups that aren't favorable for him and that he's not an easy braindead character like everyone on Twitter seems to think. It won't but I can dream.

I will do a video on this and how I view the cast
It has to be Blanka.. be a hero, not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need
"I summon you, GREAT DESERT - _OWWW!"_
Never gets old. Might be the sweetest sound in the game to me.
Honestly as a player I feel like this kind of content is enlightening for stuff that I miss during my exploration of characters.

Yo Sajam is a based Kung Fu Hustle fan? Love that film.
The guy at 3:49 probably stopped playing because Sajam dropped the game-winning combo and he wanted to give it to him :)

how in the f are you doing these boom loops so effortlessly? I can't even connect the crmp after the first light boom. any tips???
Get ready to learn, [FLASH KICK], buddy.
This is probably something you already know, but you can DI Zangief's charging punch on reaction. You had many opportunities to do so against Grabs a lot.

Does anyone have the notation for the combo he did at 16:12 ?
31:42 that gief doing drive rush into ex bear grab had me choking on my dinner
sajam hussein back at it
The fuck he hit those boom loops so fast lmao. It took me hours to hit the full thing no lie
Years of experience with the franchise? Guile... kinda stayed the same through most of it
That thumbnail is so fucking godlike lmfao
Why is thumbnail Luke giving me IT WAS ME BARRY vibe
is cammy actually that bad for guile? I'm a newbie trying to learn guile matchups, and nuckledu says he's pretty sure it's even
Not sure about top level play but with diamond/plat players just doing their thing she seems like a problem
She can get in on Guile fairly easily with spin knuckle if you boom too predictably. Once she has level 3 stocked you basically can't throw booms at all. So you have to mostly fight her with normals.
@@El-Burrito It's hard to stuff boom with lvl3, it recovers so fast you need a hard read.
boom loops ftw
I feel like Sonic Sammy would have been pretty good too
These thumbnails are too strong. I want to hate on you sometimes Sajam but, I cant lol.
YESSS I NEEDED THE SNOZNIC BOOMS SO BAD. TY
its the same Diamonds
the differnce is me and you
🤣🤣🤣
It would be nice to watch without all that clicking noise
This luke match is mad annoying bro he's just getting moderned😭
Better player still won 🗣
I think I get triggered when I see throw loops.
10:49

It is weird for me to think the most exciting part of Sajam playing a new character is the naming part?
Get me Billy Boomer.
Get me Freddy Flashkick.
Get me Peter Perfect.
Get me Samuel Somersault.
I’m Fuckin’ Frankie flashkicks from jersey lmao
I’m saying 😂😂
Yeah, thats weird. The most exciting part should be the youtube thumbnail
Yessss!! Finally, it’s MY turn to watch Sajam pick up my main and eclipse me in 10 minutes so that I can try to ride upwards through the ranks by desperately clinging onto his coattails.

wish we could've seen Perfect Pedro. I was there, in the other timeline where he existed, and it was glorious
Alternatively, Sean McBoomer
Surely everyone will respect the honest gameplay of Guile and not one-and-done.
I swear the worst part of maining guile is that I don't get rematches anymore...
I wish I'd fight more guiles, chun lees or like.... 80% of the roster
I'm sick of the blonde man
@@doctordice2doctordice210 “I’m sick of the blonde man”

Now I understand why I like Sajan so much
He likes Kung Fu Hustle!
i legit have friends that think matchmaking is out to get them. Some people refuse to accept their rank.
I've gotta see the messages Mango sent in chat when Sajam was beating up Lucky (JBone) LMAO
Finally a honest character
That transition at 3:21 was cool
I wanted to hear about the economy he never talked about that
I’ve been loving playing Guile so far and I’m hoping people enjoy watching Sajam play him too.
Damn, he’s perfect.
Yo that edit at 3:20 went hard
I'm a boomer bro wat about teh econmy
5:35 luke: stay down
Guile: did you say rise as high as you can
Love to see how you told stream what you had to do against that Blanka and executed! Very cool teaching experience 😊
Why would he do that its such a bad option
The Zangief: if it works its not stupid 😂
This will probably be the fastest Road to Master yet
Faster than ken? plz....
Your out your mind ..guile ain’t easy bake like Ken and jp
Hey Sajam, wanted to say I really enjoy your content and listening to your advice on these Road to Masters has really improved my game, and I just wanted to say thanks for that
Do headmund donda next
I’ve never seen a grown ass man miss so many flash kicks
Ok but why was 11:07 so real 😂
He's dropping the Boom!
1:30 I'm not really understanding this part. What does this mean?
Haven't seen the name yet. Is it one of these?
Sonny Sonic
Barry Boom
Harry Hurricane
Its not but i want to personally commend you on Harry Hurricane
I swear you started on Gief like 2 days ago, he must be broken.
The gief videos were originally livestreamed before EVO took place. The channel just uploads at a steady pace for max cpm
26:50 has the most appropriate club name
Pretty sure Frederick Flashkick is Sol Badguy's real name. That's the Guilty Gear.

Just for fun really
Just a thing a lot of people do. No clue why, but I do as well. Doesn't fo anything lol.
Sajam spitting as per usual, people pretending Q is cool when G is right there with twenty times more personality. That's my president 😤
Killer thumnbail.
Why isn't your left hand terrible?
My poor joystick control is my biggest execution weakness and it seems like a decent number of advanced players built good left hand dexterity doing things like playing instruments.
Hard for old Guile players is an interesting way to put it lol
I thought I DI alot omg that Chun li was DI Crazy 😮
Is he using a hitbox? I missed a lot of flashkicks when I was playing guile with hitbox, went back to stick and it was fine.
Modern Luke is just a more effective Guile with less thinking. Absolutely silly character.
The juri 1 and dones so fast at 1:40:45 that the game never even shows it moving to quit. She was outta there.
Did gief option-select hellstab and level 3??? 😭😭😭
that Cammy was TOUGH!
Wow, I can't believe he already gave up on Zangief smh
/s
Modern ryu for the final push???
Maybe this video will actually make people realize Guile has matchups that aren't favorable for him and that he's not an easy braindead character like everyone on Twitter seems to think. It won't but I can dream.
