I'd be willing to learn from you. I'm very new to fighting on a competitive level and I don't wish to squander my time so I would be interested in being coached. Contact if interested.

modern garden
#

Sure thing; just letting you know I'm in EU for schedule purposes

#

Have you picked a character to focus on?

Also I'm US. Eastern Standard Time.

#

Luke's solid, you can learn as him, if you struggle with execution you can switch to the other shotos

#

if you want u can send me some matches to have an idea of what your level is and we can talk after about what to focus on, starting off as a very beginner is actually not that hard because you improve really quickly

#

like every new thing you learn boosts you up significantly

Never mind I found the setting haha

modern garden
#

You can alt+enter to switch whenever

summer elk
#

I actually think I may have solved that one to now haha. I assume just sending you the replay ID will allow you to view the replays.

#

Replay ID's so far for you:

Interested in what notes you have. If there are any specific vids you want me to look into let me know.

@modern garden hey! I’m a modern Cammy player in diamond 2 and am definitely interested in your feedback. I can send some replays in a few days if that would be helpful. Or if playing a sets would be helpful let me know.

modern garden
#
  1. Every time they jump at you, you easy input DP. Against other new players it should feel impossible for them to jump at any point. When you jump yourself, if you're far away, use heavy (luke's kick extends a lot) and you jump over them, use medium, which crosses up cause of luke's knee
#
  1. Always back rise, playing modern you should have a button bound to light+medium which is your throw button; press this every time you get knocked down to stand up backwards; this doesn't make you more punisheable or anything but puts you at a safer distance from the enemy. You can try this in your matches by pressing throw when luke falls on the floor; don't mash though or you might misinput an actual throw and get punished.
#
  1. Reaction OD fireball. When enemies realize they can't jump at you, they'll try using fireballs. Luke's easy fireball gives you medium, which only goes half the screen, but the OD version is full screen and goes through fireballs. When you see a character fireball, instantly OD fireball them back; they take a bit of damage and start learning to not do that, which gives you ground to push up.
#

I got more stuff like wakeup and knockdown options for you but for now you can try just these basics, you should beat most people in iron just with these.

#

@modern garden thatnk you for your insight. Once I get this stuff down I'll send ya some replays unless you want some sooner than that.

Yeah if you get a replay where you DP a jumping guy a bunch of times you'll know what I mean

#

playing modern gives you the easiest defense options so to beginners you have to be a brick wall

summer elk
#

Gonna get some matches in now

#

hehehe I already got 2 replays to send you. First set of the day went nicely.

#

hey @modern garden nice to see other people with modern here. I am playing Cammy and already have like 700 games, i also played Luke and Juri in Modern, but definetly Cammy is my main. I am strugglin against DI when i do crouching M and also with the medium spin knuckle often i am hitted before finishing the move, also i wonder about better combo after target combo, now i just do H (kick that hit the target while he is still in the air)

modern garden
#

for target combo if u wanna use that you can easy DP after it gives 1% less dmg but it knocks and you can dash in and be +6 at jab range

#

heavy dp with no charge does more dmg than the kick and leads to the same situation

#

heavy dp with charge gives you a long distance side swap

coarse raft
#

ok, can you tell 1-2 things that you have observed against Cammy when you lose

#

what do you think Cammy done so you lost, if you can recall

#

i am platinum atm, because i started low in the ranks, from rookie

modern garden
#

instant dive kick can be a problem if you keep guessing wrong

#

forward heavy kick out-footsing crouch medium kicks also

#

vs cammy you just gotta not mash so if i can get away with mashing vs a cammy they're fucking up their offense

coarse raft
#

yeah mashing i relly on opponent mashing on wake up often

#

i am exploiting drive rush + throw or + light assisted combo and if they jump on wake up i try input DP off the rush

modern garden
#

light3x into easy spiral is more consistent cause 4 frame and a bit more dmg

coarse raft
#

but i am having problems in the corner when opponent is defensivly approaching and is waiting to anti air or DI me

modern garden
#

you can't DI almost anything cammy does

coarse raft
modern garden
#

shes the safest character for that so maybe just stop using these options

modern garden
coarse raft
#

havent tried that to be hoest

#

cause i found i end up doing DP on block when relly on pure jab

#

the problem is a bad habit that i keep forward when doing the jabs

modern garden
coarse raft
#

for now my biggest problems are against Ken, Marrisa and Dhalsim

modern garden
#

dhalsim i really can't help you with, he's a nightmare vs modern cause of the direction change lol

#

he's like the bane of modern controls

#

he's rare tho

coarse raft
#

yeah rare opponent, but Ken exploit the jinrai kicks and the free dash that he has

#

Marrisa often caught me doing dive kick with the super punch, maybe i should switch to OD dive kick against her

#

i am happy i learned to keep my SA3 and wasting it on the first opportunity, won alot of games

modern garden
#

yeah modern cammy sa3 is like the cheapest move in the whole roster

coarse raft
#

when me and opponent on low HP i wait them to do Fireball and they are finished 🙂

#

also i implement it when the opponent do empty jump

#

what is your character?

modern garden
#

i play the shotos mainly ryu

#

ryu sucks against cammy honestly

coarse raft
#

hmm donkey kick, fast fireballs, reversals Ryu has alot of arsenal

modern garden
#

nah cammy's in master will spin knuckle on reaction and even if you block it they're plus

coarse raft
#

and to not forget the overhead kick that is a normal button

coarse raft
modern garden
#

oh axe kick isn't an overhead

modern garden
#

axe kick is only safe on block that's it feature pretty much

coarse raft
#

hmm i thought it is an overhead, then the punch that goes down is an overhead

modern garden
#

yeah but that punch is DI unsafe

coarse raft
#

the only Cammy overhead is from the hooligan

modern garden
#

i got a replay of a cammy using it a lot in master if u wanna see

#

but you dont need to use any overheads

#

i think as cammy

#

just frame advantage and throwing

coarse raft
#

sometimes i do the hoologian overhead when opponent is in the corner so he has to guess is it a low atack or a throw

modern garden
#

if u wanna vc real quick im on there

coarse raft
#

i am not on the console right now, but when i get on the game i will type here if we can have some sessions, i am EU based EEST

#

no i meant on discord

Let me know if you’ll be on this weekend for some matches. I’m a modern Ken and am always looking to improve and train. I’m platinum 2 and seem to have the most trouble against guile. 90% of the time I face him he just lobs Sonic booms, and flashes when I get close. My cfn is: Retrogames4me.

@modern garden Hey are you still looking to give Modern players some coaching?

modern garden

#

@modern garden I just posted this on a different thread....

#

Hey Leon. Just for for context. I managed to make it to gold. Since then I have hardly won a game, maybe 3 wins in 30. I am playing on Modern, I'm sorry but I'm just not quick enough on classic.
I got there by AA when the opponent jumps, smashing Auto and light and if in the corner DI and auto heavy. That's it. All I have.
I don't have time to be learning lots of frame rate data and really technical stuff.
I do know, I need to practice combos but found it so, so hard. I have tried but I've hit such a wall. I am at silver atm.
Hope that's some good background info on me

#

The general consensus seems to be improving combos

modern garden
#

It depends on the character, combos you don't need to be crazy at but you need to graduate past using auto combos to get to a better level of play for sure

#

They waste meter like crazy for starters

#

Playing modern is not about combos, its about reactions and consistency

#

have you proper chosen a character yet

hybrid pumice
#

Fair point. Just jumped online and lost 12 matches on the row. Clearly progressed beyond my skill level here ha.

#

I play Cammy mate

modern garden
#

Alright

#

you don't really have to understand frame data at your level at all

#

you only need to know if something is minus or plus, and thats easy enough to remember for each character

hybrid pumice
#

Excellent

#

I just popped a couple of replay codes in another threat if you want me to copy them over.

hybrid pumice
#

Forgot to add I've done the first 8 beginner combo trials, can't do the 9th and the first 3 intermediate. Can't land any after that

modern garden
#

Probably need to spend more time solo-training than figuring out the issues in your fights cause odds are most of them are related to execution; and if they’re not directly they’re still made easier with better execution

coarse raft
#

i already have a lot of game on my modern Cammy and the game is exciting cause i still found new ways to extend a combo or add some new moves to the arsenal, it is not for everyone to just watch training videos on youtube and then recreate them in the practice mode. Learn the game if you like it and learn by liking the game @hybrid pumice . I have been there i have been loosing 10 or even more matches in a row, i started in low silver. Trust me when you react for the first time to the opponent fireball and kill him from the end of the screen with the super art you will fill great for picking modern, anti air is not that important cause if you DP you will do 600 dmg it is nothing and you will be predictable, you can do mind games with the opponent to let him think air is safe and if you like auto combos go ahead to them just be carefull with the DI''s they are not so good options on modern for offense. And let your character guide you, Cammy is fast rushdown character she likes to be in the everywhere around the opponent, strike from the air, strike from low, jump behind him. If you want we can play some time and see if you like something from my play with Cammy on modern

hybrid pumice

That you both for the messages and taking the time to reply. @coarse raft would happily play sometime

Hello @modern garden . I am a Plat 2 Modern Luke player who's looking to improve to compete in tournaments. I've tried looking at my VODs but I either get bored at aimlessly watching it or overwhelmed by the amount of mistakes I'm making. Would you be able to share some advice to help with this and maybe also look at a couple of my games so I know what sort of things to look out for?

Hey i would really like to get some tipps for improvement. I am playing modern Chun-Li and i am in Gold at the Moment. I focus at the Moment on the fundamentals, like neutral, Anti-Air and basic punish Combos. My biggest Problems are dealing with defensive Players and fireball spamers. Also is Drive Rush a big problem for either defending it or using it myself @modern garden

I have some Replays

Hello! Gold 5 Marisa here. I had a very quick incrase in LP from silver to gold 5. I have been hard stuck here ever since. I have learned some new combos, since before i was only using auto combos. The only issue is that i don't think that that was my issue. I've looked back at my replays but i cannot tell where i go wrong. i have also looked at others play and I have seen no improvement. if someone could look over my replays and coach me on what i am doing wrong that would be greatly appreciated.
