[shadow veldt]

https://discord.gg/BQmADVjE

[heavy obsidian]

@shadow veldt hey so i got some quick questions regarding footsies

Moreso of like

When im getting information, what can i do with certain info

So when they walk back in response to some immediate timing stuff

Like walk up instant st mk for example

Whats the thing to be doing there, just walk up a bit more and keep testing out timings?

[shadow veldt]

yeah walk in more, use stHK to hit further, dive kicks to catch them walking, drive rush crLK, even jump in heavy punch

[shadow veldt]

if you think they're playing passive on instant timing, then do stuff that takes advantage of it. If they're looking to whiff punish you they won't be able to check other stuff like air approach and drive rushes

if you want to play more fundamentally tho yes, walk in further and keep testing how delayed you can get, eventually go for walk up throws if they let you

[silent plaza]

have a slot open?

[shadow veldt]

Tomorrow 6pm est?

[silent plaza]

okay

[silent plaza]

can't today anymore. im sorry

[silent plaza]

Sure thing 🙂

Hope it helps

Sorry I was especially long winded this morning 🤣 but hope the points come through ok

[feral crystal]

Can coach me how to beat Cammy lol

CFN:ShinDream

[sly grove]

Hiya. I’ve seen your messages on the cammy cord. I made a comment in new player advice a few days ago but didn’t get the responses I had hoped for so figured I would ask you here. I’d love some coaching to help with identifying / prioritizing what to be working on first

[shadow veldt]

uhh probably not lol, at this level character match ups are not the main reason for losses. we can look at your gameplay and see where the gaps in fundies are.

[shadow veldt]

How new? If truly brand new like you installed this month + first fighting game I'd recommend learning combos, setplay, execution, defense first

[sly grove]

No no I just hit master, started in like August. I am pretty bad all around. Wanting help identifying what would be most the fruitful to work on first what my biggest weaknesses are. How to approach on offense.

[shadow veldt]

Ok I can help

Available tmrw

[sly grove]

Tomorrow should be good. What time zone are you? I’m central

[shadow veldt]

Est

[sly grove]

I’m free middle of the day between like 10am cst to like 230 pm cst tomorrow. If night is better. Tuesday or Wednesday after like 830 pm cst I’m free.

[shadow veldt]

Im free then

[shadow veldt]

Lmk if you’re still down

[sly grove]

Yep yep just finishing a work call. Should be free in like 2-3 minutes

let me know whenever you're free im around from now for a few hours

[shadow veldt]

Ok nice I’ll hop on now

[sly grove]

same getting on. vc?

[shadow veldt]

Yeah

[lavish horizon]

Hello! It may be too late today, so if you are not busy tomorrow after 4:30pm, or during the week, could I get a coaching session on neutral? I’m a Gold Ryu and I noticed that, besides being impatient, I really can’t approach players without using Drive Impact or without jumping a lot, and when I try to be more patient with my blocks or move backwards I get grabbed

[feral crystal]

Okay do I send my replays in here ?

[shadow veldt]

Sure I’m available at 4:30

[shadow veldt]

Yes but trying to write it out is gonna be too long unless you just want more surface level tips. Are you interested in vc coaching?

[lavish horizon]

Thank you! I’m ready to start whenever you are

[shadow veldt]

Ok nice

[feral crystal]

Yea I’m down for VC coaching

[shadow veldt]

you want to do one now? I'm available for a little

[quick dagger]

Still taking new students? Im a 1400mr viper who could use some tips in general

[shadow veldt]

sure

[feral crystal]

Yes right now is good

[shadow veldt]

2701862330

[quick dagger]

lemme know when you'd be free for a quick session

[shadow veldt]

Thursday would be chill

[heavy obsidian]

@shadow veldt hey man, been a lil bit, but i been having fun with cammy and i think footsies is coming along ok, but im having issues fighting against people that are confident in their spacing and basically just never whiffs and always just feels like i can never get a hold on their timing. How can i counter these players?

[shadow veldt]

you got replay?

[heavy obsidian]

Its a couple of them, it was a long set i played against a dude here in the server

Like it felt like i couldnt get a hold on him at all in terms of timing and whiff baits wasnt workin

[shadow veldt]

Yeah send codes I’ll watch real quick

Also

closing coaching for a bit while I focus on my own improvement and personal life.

Anyone who I’ve helped feel free to still ask stuff tho, no worry (DM me)

[heavy obsidian]

Sorry for the delay, i had to go to work but now that im home i got some replays that show what i was struggling against:
5CN7W9EJ8
G5MAD7EXD

Theres more if you need em cuz this was a p long set, but those two basically show what i was struggling with

[lapis trellis]

hope you get your stuffs figured out catemoji you fr changed my life

[shadow veldt]

Life is so beautiful

[shadow veldt]

Your approach:

Better approaches (against this player specifically) (the last example is troll tbh don't do that, but just to illustrate how passive some players actually are)

you're not using stMK or crMK enough

you're over using stLP as your main footsies poke

Overall not enough courage or confidence to move into cammy's threat zone

you're consistently only walking up to right outside the threat zone, must actually enter it

If the opponent is moving you must predict their movement

people who are perma walk backers like this aki may require longer walk ins to reach the threat zone

if they're walking forward maybe you need to do a shorter walk up than normally

dont be overly afraid of getting hit. If you have a read they're overly passive you can just trust your play. If you get hit then it's ok and signals the opponent is changing their style so maybe it's time to adapt in a different way

don't forget to also threaten burst approach options against overly passive players

While you're approaching try to find the moment where they attempt to check you

once you find the timing/spacing where they act you can set up punishes

try to figure out what opponent movement pattern signals when they're waiting to anti air/whiff punish/check drive rush.

then you just throw something they're not looking for

If they're looking to anti air, walk up pokes, dashes, bait dive kick whiffs, and drive rushes are stronger.

if they're looking to check drive rush jumps/dive kicks are strong

if they're looking to whiff punish whiffed light baits, drive rushes, and dive kicks/jumps are powerful

A good way to learn this is to find someone to play customs rooms with and each round choose a burst option to spam

like round 1 I'm over using jump ins

round 2 I'm spamming drive rushes

round 3 I'm pressing pokes

then you go watch the replay and analyze the actual movement differences the opponent shows you

don't mash the options, do them in a smart way avoiding throwing the round, but over use them slightly

the most valuable movement moments to look at are those leading up to right before a successful antiair/whiff puinish/drive rush check

[heavy obsidian]

Goddamn this is a lot to take in, thank you

[lyric haven]

is coaching still closed perchance?

[shadow veldt]

Yez sowwy I will post when back

[lyric haven]

sad but will wait for you to return!
