    Im on Diamond 5 on my way to Master. the only thing I disagree is that you should learn how to counter DI earlier, around silver/gold rank. Also when you get at certain level, light attack meaties are a really good way to counter DI on wakeup since they give you more real-life frames (not ingame since the game freezes on each hit) to react. Aside from that I believe I agree with everything else.

    Rookie - learn a combo

    Gold - be patient about gimmicks and start to understand characters strength
    Plat - start using those drive system smartly, parry more and interrupt fake pressure

    Good video man. I've been stressing out because in 5 I managed to get to Platinum and that was my first fighter I played online so I felt like I was doing well. In SF6, I've been getting stuck on just Silver 1 and it's getting frustrating because I feel like I should be performing better than I am.
    Thing is, I've been practicing a few basic combos, and I land them in training, but in a match I just always drop them. Something about this input seems like it's too strict but also really easy to bust out a DP motion when I was going for quarter circle... I watched this video then gave up on landing the fancy high-damage combos for now and focused on the fundamentals. In one evening I've been winning way more matches then I lost and I think I'm only a few more away from breaking Gold.
    Thanks man! Legendary advice.

    Idk if anyone had the same experience as me, I was like stuck silver in SFV, tho admittedly I didn't play as much as I'm playing 6 and the weirdest thing so far to me was how getting out of silver to me was WAY HARDER than getting out of gold. I fought way more solid kinda players on like high silver. And then the moment I hit gold, I started getting the absolute wildest players ever, lot of modern players too, that had like 1 strategy and the moment you broke their flowchart, they couldn't do anything. Took me about double the time to get out of silver than it took me to get out of gold.

    • @EasterDude
      @EasterDude 11 месяцев назад +20

      This is funny, I had a similar experience but also in iron of all places. I ran into two people running drive rush extension combos on me in Iron and I didn’t see that again until late silver (very rarely ofc). Good chance it was just people with non SF fighter experience who got placed pretty low like me, but I honestly thought I was just that garbage until I realized you’re gonna run into some monsters in pretty much any rank.
      Just because someone’s in gold doesn’t mean they’re a “gold” player. Sometimes you run into that player who’s on the climb and you’re the next victim. That’s just the nature of these LP based ranked systems. Those are my favorite matches though for sure.

    • @antonsimmons8519
      @antonsimmons8519 11 месяцев назад +22

      I find that gold is mostly populated by people who actually play worse than silver, but BEAT most silvers easily, because your average silver player is not good at actually adapting, or hasn't gone to the lab for that particular strat yet. Basically, they've got cheese tasty enough to get into gold, but too lowbrow for plat skill.

    • @CineGoodog

      My experience as well. Getting out of silver took me a whole first week of the game. And then I steamrolled gold in a couple of sessions. But idk, how the rating system factors into it.
      I just grinded non stop while I was in silver. Took a week of a break, and then something clicked - I came up with a game plan, my combos became more consistent.
      I guess the PSA is - take breaks.

    I got placed in iron, and then won my way to platinum. Haven't played since FF16 came out though. I think you're right about silver and gold feeling the same, but I think iron and bronze did feel different to me. In iron and bronze people were taking crazy risks constantly like using H tatsu as a poke. In silver and gold it looked more like something vaguely resembling how SF is played at high level, but everyone still eats meaties. Platinum definitely felt like the biggest jump. My opponents had structure to how they played. I did too. It feels like we have flow charts but to get to diamond we have to do more than just that.

    • @E4Pants92
      @E4Pants92 11 месяцев назад +4

      Definitely agree! I got placed in iron and made my way to platinum. I will have to say though, I feel gold was actually it's own seperate rank instead of being with iron-silver. I breezed my way right through iron, bronze, and silver. I struggled a bit once I hit gold 5 star. Gold definitely feels like players know what they are doing. In silver, most people I've seen, really were just throwing specials moves out there hoping they would connect.

No doubt you're right, and what it will take for me to get to the next level is to lab some match-ups and develop counter play.

    Honestly I feel like I have a lot of the things to get out of gold that you mentioned, I know multiple combos I know how to drive rush I know my situations I know how to super and anti-air when I need to but my nerves get to me and I get impatient and I guess silver is where I belong until I can master those things for more than a match or two. When I was super new I feel like confirming was a very hard thing to do and once you get comfortable with canceling and confirming it's all in the reflexes. I either am very good and I crush my opponent or I just get outplayed in neutral, and I know it's my fault most of the time because of a mess input or greedy situation, but either way this game is super rewarding and I'm having a great time and I really appreciate the content It has been a fun journey

      I was bouncing between silver and gold a lot in 5. In 6, I've got 5 characters in plat, and most of the difference has been two things.
      1. patience. simple as that, I find that opponents start making more and more mistakes the longer the match goes on. I use that against them.
      2. being unpredictable. even if it means being FAR less optimal, I will throw random shit out at random times, just to screw with the other guy's head. often creates enough tilt to make em just as predictable as I'm NOT being.

Everything doesn't have to be optimal always, but you should try to put yourself at an advantage. I did a guide that breaks down her normals, maybe you could create your own combos from that.

    I want to touch on something LK said in this video and elaborate on it. At 2:55 LK says that if you're platinumish you should start trying to find your local. I think this suggests that you should be at a certain level to attend locals. You do not. You can be an absolute beginner or a super sweaty pro gamer and you will be welcomed with open arms at your local scene. Unless you're in an area with a dense population of good players (Major cities or OG arcade venues), the average skill level is gonna be just about gold. Sure there will be outliers, but that's how it is. If you have fun playing the game and you have time, show up to your locals. It doesn't matter if you go 0-2 or if you take the whole bracket by storm, you'll form bonds with people through something you enjoy and that is something that can make or break your FG experience.

    As a Marisa placed in Gold and grinded to master, the path for Marisa is:

    Master: Okay, maybe start to throw in a kick and a grab. But, also punch even harder.

    My best advice to get to plat at least is focus on developing fundamentals and a strong neutral. Learning to anti air consistently and react to DI. Learn what buttons you press in neutral, on punishment and any get off me tools your character has. Learn a frame trap, learn the strike throw shimmy mix. I got to plat with about 20hrs SF experience just by learning to answer what my opponent does and what game plan specific characters might have.

My Cammy only got placed in Silver and Chun Li got placed in Gold and I felt accomplished getting them di platinum moreso than getting placed there off the bat with JP.

Whether it be a specific combo that you keep dropping, a meaty you keep getting hit with, etc. and find a work around for it when it does pop up. I use Dee Jay, a character with good range to his normals, so a typical practice setup for me is to set the cpu to block and then try to attack back with their best normals and DI so that Ik which buttons are good in neutral against that character. I’m sure there’s better practice setups out there but this is to get you started

      I think this video covers it somewhat well, but countering your opponents poor decisions is most important, and doing so effectively as well, just learning combos, how to beat gimmicks (jump spam, blanka/Honda spam, etc) is really important because once you get your defense down, you will probably run through ranked, offense is easy but defense is hard and that's why I feel the lower ranks are often just players running each other over

      I feel you, Casual, and hub are so easy but when I do rank automatically I start getting sweaty (and everyone says ranked don’t matter, but everyone cares about their rank and points regardless what they say) that’s why I tend to do a ranked match or two and see how I feel, if I’m starting to feel really tense and nervous, I take a little break (bathroom break, food, check RUclips for sf6 videos) calm down and then go again. This has been helping my game a lot and I’ve found that more and more it takes longer for me to tense up and get nervous. It’s like training your nerves 😆

    Just got diamond tonight when I started DR buffering my pokes in neutral and hitting my bnbs at 90%+ (Luke perf double flash knuckles) you can kill people in 2 or 3 touches + neutral damage, you also have to get very very good at AAing so people stop jumping at u, when they don’t jump anymore they sit and eat fireballs. Super timing when it will burn them out is a big game changer. Learn to delay tech, and start holding back not down back in pressure strings when they are out of low range to prevent a bunch of throw attempts. Learn to PP people like Honda, they literally will not be able to use buttslams or headbutts in neutral if u can get them done. And also stop using uncancellable pokes as much if ur getting DI slammed. I love ending my strings w 5mk but can’t when people are throwing out DI like candy in neutral.
