Mikey D.

you have changed the trajectory of my fighting game experience, thanks bro

It is so awesome seeing new generations discover the footsie game. It completely changes and enhances your understanding of fighting games!

Street Fighter 6 is my first traditional fighter game ive ever actually wanted to play and i want to get good enough to enter tournements. i will be watching these to learn

I&#39;ve now reached Platinum 2 and feel like I&#39;m just beginning to umderstand fighting games.

I've now reached Platinum 2 and feel like I'm just beginning to umderstand fighting games.

Sometimes understanding this concept can be hard. Thanks for explaining visually.

Charismatic and straight to the point with no padding, great stuff man.

Good to see another upload from you and I’m excited to see more!!

Thank you so much! Great explanation, very helpful for all the beginners (myself included) that are new to street fighter who are picking up SF6. Can’t wait for part 2!

Its simply amazing how well those old sonic hurricane writings have held up after all these years.  Thats the beauty of fighting games how after all these years the core fundamentals of street fighter have changed so little over time

Are we not gonna talk about the Mass Destruction syncing perfectly with it

Yamato and baiken? who allowed who to combine perfection with perfection?

someone has to mention how sick the Yamato colours look on her!! what a great mod.

The counter hit damage and combo routes Baiken gets are awesome.

Any chance you could make a combo receipt for that so future Baiken&#39;s can humble Sol

Holy shit that was genuinely the coolest Baiken combo I have ever seen.

finally a guide who teaches how to PLAY and not how to do combos all over again

As a brand new player who is currently in Iron 1, I really appreciate this. Most guides either talk too much about combos or go into a move-by-move breakdown with frame data minutiae, both of which are good but none that talk about how to use her tools in such a clear and succinct way. Really earned a sub from me here

Well, I was hovering around low gold and managed to get a few wins away from platinum in one session using these tips... Props to you, finally a guide teaching how to play, rather than just combos.

What a guide. Love the explanations and the reasoning instead of just “do these combos”

This helped sooo much thank you! I got ken to platinum very easily because of a lot of cheese admittedly, but once I decided to learn cammy I had no idea what I was doing right or wrong and this guide helped me a lot for learning her.

Really helpful, I only got the game today and haven&#39;t played SF in a long time. Trying to get to grips with it but I know I won&#39;t be able to do all this but I am gonna try. Keep up the good work!

Mikey D. ,  I get more from your videos than 20 years of streetfighter playing experience. You&#39;re clearly a next level player/teacher &lt;3

Today we try to analyze a micro-interaction that MKLeo seems to have mastered. Many players are great at Ledge Trapping but it seems Leo has taken it to a different level. He often gets 40%+ unanswered or even a stock if his opponent needs to get off the ledge. Let's try to learn how to do this for ourselves!

We are back in the set with MKLeo against Tweeks Wolf. Today we will focus on seeing the things that MKLeo DOES NOT do that many players tend to fall into the habit of doing. By doing so we can better understand why these options that so many players go for are actually quite risky and see what the alternative is instead.

Some 5 bar combos that do big damage with Cammy! I find this does more damage than most of the combos that people are using 6 bars for! If you have any questions about the combo, or have a more optimal one yourself, let me know!
And yes, I know Cammy actually does do low damage in most situations, feel free to remind me in the comments!

Tricks Every Street Fighter Player should know in Neutral

People like to joke that Street Fighter 6 neutral boils down to "Low Forward, Drive Rush the game". Although it's a joke, the reason people feel this way is because it's a strong option. At least it seems that way. There is a way to stop this very easily, or at least keep people much more honest about how they structure their pressure when they spend 3 bars. Let's learn about these interactions quickly.

Brian F video mentioned: https://youtu.be/EZ5pL0qopAE

Do This Tip To Stop Drive Rush Pressure Easily.

When you become comfortable in repeated situations and also come to terms with the fact that sometimes, you may just be wrong on defense and that's fine, you'll find that it becomes much easier to react to things that let you get out of defense or keep your pressure going.

It's way too easy to get tilted in Fighting games. Although this is a fine thing to do, it stops us from enjoying the game and definitely slows down our improvement. I want to quickly talk about an overwatch guide I read a long time back that helped me put ranked matches into a better perspective to enjoy and learn from and just have more fun while trying to rank up.
 When we are all learning Akuma in a week and trying to level up, let's keep these lessons in mindand stop ourselves from getting tilted.
