Here's something. If you go to the Replays option, it will recommend other players' replays based on your matches. So if you just played Jamie and lost to JP, it will give you some Jamie vs. JP matches to watch from a variety of other players.

The best tip I ever gotten was to not focus so hard on winning but on the things that you did in the match. Sometimes you do a combo you've been practicing for a while and even if you lost, you still managed to land it in a match. There are small W's in the L's and learning to take those is a big step to improving.

a huge mistake that i made when playing fighting games was spending wayyyy too much time in the lab and not actually playing the game. it might be scary to queue into online matches (especially ranked) but you'll overcome it very very quickly. another tip is to not be scared of losing. losing is the best way of improving because u can just rewatch the match and see what you did wrong or could do better

[Diyomaro]

This may fall into tip #10, but:
Don't play to win, play to improve. The wins will come along eventually

[SRVANTofCHIF]

Wow! Didn’t know about the forward before parry then forward. Iv been pressing forward twice after the parry. Thank you

[MegaBleedman]

Tip I wanna share:
Watch your replays, study the opponent's character and play the character. Like for example if you struggle playing against Jamie, try the character out. You don't have to main him but just try playing him to familiarize with his moves.

To know your enemy, you must become your enemy.

Big Mortal Kombat fan trying out SF for the first time, I was really good at MK but suck at this, but it's really fun to see myself slowly improve with each fight

[dutchielander]

I am kinda new to fighting games. Haven't played since SF4 and i'm enjoying getting beat up and learning new stuff. Thanks for the tips about the drives and fireball parry.

[Raindrop_bestofalltime]

Step 1: pick Gief.
Step 2: mash EX command throw when you're forced to block
Step 3: mash EX command throw

Capcom nailed the depth. There's a ton of depth to this game.

As a player transitioning from tekken, SF has always been tricky for me dive into but your videos are dope af and have helped make the process from 3D to 2D less daunting!! Much love and sending good vibes 🙏🏾

[AielSavage]

My man, I got into Strive a few months ago as my first fighting game and your videos are very useful, and with SF6 arriving today, you’re STILL out here making quality, concise, clear and helpful videos. Subbed now. Appreciate these very much! Also greatly helps you’re not cringe. Seriously, so many other fighting YouTubers are just… something else.

[alvinarquisola]

I’m having so much fun with this game despite my casual record currently sitting at 4 and 47 LOL

[SamTheSugarSenpai]

You simply put the best SF6 content on YouTube! Pretty much all of your SF6 videos are very interesting and also entertaining, happy to see more from you in the future Diaphone!

[keeng]

There are tons of "10 Things You Need to Know for SF6" videos and this is absolutely the best one. The editing and examples do so much.

Id also add as a tip that when you use the built-in practice options in practice, the game is really just auto-loading some dummy settings for that drill. This means you can always edit those or tweak them to scale. You can, for example, change the probability that Ryu neutral jumps in the AA practice.

[cking]

So much value in this video. Started following you a few months ago and all of the content has been great!

[stevenluoma]

Thanks for the tips! Im actually finding coming from strive to this harder than I expected. Right now im just practicing anti airs, countering drive rush, and one very basic combo because anything more than that feels like too much.

Good looking out!

One caveat about #3: If your character has a power-up super (called an Install, for anyone unfamiliar, ) that you can get a buff from to gain an advantage, don't be afraid to use it. Jamie going from Sober to Instant Drunk, for example, might be a good use of meter if it's absolutely necessary. Otherwise, Dia's recommendation is pretty solid, particularly if you're a new player and are still learning when the best time to use your meter is.

[thebeastmws]

I watch your replays all the time because you use Kim really well and it's fun to watch you hit those combos, shimmy, etc. A great tip for all viewers is that you can actually slow down the game speed when you watch replays. It really helps you pick up not only combos but timing as well.

[regis]

thank you for the "have fun" and "don't be afraid to fail" this are very important!
