I fully recommend striker mains to try to DP on reaction if your opponent tries to guard cancel your 5M. If you have enough mana to get the hard knockdown, you can safejump your opponent who now has less mana and might no longer have enough to guard cancel again making guard break a much bigger threat. If you want a guaranteed safe time to GC, striker's DP and j.M are spots where she actually can't do anything about it. If you GC her S moves the moment you block them, not even reverse beat into 5a is fast enough for her to block it. She can technically still DP but the window to do so isn't as large as 5M. Plus, her S moves are very unsafe so a striker is very likely to try to cancel it into something else. But of course if a striker isn't DPing your guard cancel, absolutely GC her 5M. She's very safe after it making it a good spot for her to reset pressure which you don't want. If she's out of mana though you can also just take your turn back (just make sure your button doesn't lose to divekick).
This is a wonderful vid for people like me who are trying to learn how to deal with all the characters in the game. This type of vid needs to be a thing for every fighting game lol
I mean sure as a berserker main myself, but I don't think I most of the time use frenzy at that range, sometime sure. Well, thanks for showing how to punish it, I will have to go adjust my pressure and learn how to punish others too.
Some of these things you need to be pretty careful on cause there's significant counterplay. For example, if Troubleshooter is doing 6MS, and he doesn't do the extra shot and you roll, you're negative enough to get punished.
I've been on the fence about picking this game up. It's looked like a lot of fun visually but I've read a lot of negativity about the game (mainly no "neutral" because of big buttons, bad defensive options, general imbalance.) But this video really shows me that defense isn't lacking but rather the way you defend is by taking risks and making moves of your own. I guess people are used to other fighters where you can just block strings forever if you're good enough. I hope the game lasts awhile, it's unique and deserves as much attention as possible.
I think your thinking about it right! The game kind of forces you to do something becuase of the threat of guard breaks. calculating the risk of using your few defensive options are definitely the key in this game. Also this game does not always have clear answers to your opponent offense so that definitely makes people less comfortable on defense as well.
Really great video. Especially the Crusader and troubleshooter tips, should make the matchups a lot less frustrating. Are you planning on making a striker guide or a guide for any other characters?
I started to playing this today w enchantress for fun n I stopped when I got to gold I but even tho my thumbs ache, idgaf I seen some pesky characters I need to destroy. This video was literally made for me.
For all the people out there who are stuck in bronze and silver, look at how to counter your own main and be aware of it so you can cover your weaknesses
Ranger is broken af. Safe on everything outside of invincible. Can’t seem to do anything with hitman on a competent player. What other tech do you have as a counter play to ranger? Or should I just change characters?
no you definitely don't need to change from hitman, hes one of the better characters. However, Im not too familiar with that matchup in particular so I wouldn't know exact situations unfortunately
Nice video, but there is one thing about Launcher that wonders me. Isn't forward roll risky? Because if she does AA 4S instead of AA S, wouldn't your roll still get hit by the slide into hard knockdown? Can you roll the S on reaction? Because if you have to guess it seems kind of dangerous.
Great video overall but I feel like some of these answers don't work with Crusader because he's taller while crouching and generally wider than the rest of the cast. Big Body Tax as usual.
This is the kind of tutorial we all need.
Ong bro
If I hear “DP on reaction” one more time, I’m going to lose my mind. -a ghostblade player

Good thing most things lose to dive kick. Thanks for the tech. We dive kicking our way to freedom!

Exactly what I was thinking. Ranger and Hitman are two of my worst matchups, so this tutorial is going to help put me in the right direction
FINALLY! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED
EDIT: saved to watch later already, im consulting this video after every game sesion from now on
It's crazy that this video turns the entire game into easy mode. Life saving tips here
Very helpful as someone who just picked up this game and is trying to learn matchups, good shit 👍

yea thats why you gotta react to the flash. Its not so bad to do, it feel like it gives you plenty of time
Before I even watched the video, I had to pause.. like and sub, my guy. I already know this video is gonna be super 🔥🔥🔥
OMFG thank you i've been waiting for this video to come out

@@DaikenFGC definitely! And I don't think that's a bad thing. It makes it unique and I like that
This just made Hitman matchups that much more tolerable for me. THANK YOU.
Watch out for them hitman players! He still a very strong character even with some general knowledge 😅
I can already see myself revisiting this video a lot for future reference. Thank you for this!

Thank you so much for this vid bro this was very much needed
Great guides dude! On Paladin. He is supposed to combo into that. Now there is an option. So it will get them thinking more if they can do that now.

Midriff Striker skin needs to be official

@@DaikenFGC Where and how can you get it more now?
Thanks for the video. Very helpful
Glad you got some use out of it! 🙏

Very helpful! I forgot there was a block button in the game. So I was getting hit with Lost Warriors moves all day. Thanks for the help
Oh nooo! 😭 his 5S was eating you lol
Bro THANK YOU! This is much needed tech. I don't make it to your streams but I make sure I check out the vids when I can
It’s all good, appreciate the support bro! 🙏
Thank u for the knowledge. It is very helpful!
i struggle with the Troubleshooter who just jumps throws molotov or just jump MS. Like those things are completely safe

If she 4S and you didn’t do anything it’s like -17 so she gets a KD and you get the world so the risk reward is not in her favor.
Thanks for this bro
Is that striker skin a mod? Cause I been seeing it around a lot and I'm confused.
Am I trippin or is striker missing part of her costume for her stomach lol? They got alternate costumes in this game?
Mods
Ghostblade and Vanguard crying rn

You the GOAT
Based, thanks for this

A whole Oscar? 😅 Haha I appreciate the support nevertheless 🙏
Striker belly literally makes me want to lick my monitor screen
You can basically punish everything brawler does 😆😆 I mean grappler

FINALLYYYYYYYY I need to punish everyone with my enchantress. all heritics must be punished

Great video overall but I feel like some of these answers don't work with Crusader because he's taller while crouching and generally wider than the rest of the cast. Big Body Tax as usual.
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
@@DaikenFGC Doesn't help that the two I'm considering as a secondary are the OTHER XXL dude (LW) and the tallest girl (Launcher).
Can you do a terminology video for us normies?
You probably would never see a modern terminology video. But there are a lot of resources that help make learning terms easier. glossary.infil.net
Let’s see what’s in this video. Because I certainly dropped this game after all the full screen bs normals.
Been a day… how you feeling now?
@@DaikenFGC feeling way more comfortable after watching your video. Was definitely helpful. Thanks for checking in.
