You’re here because you want to get better at Street Fighter 6 or fighting games in general, right? Then this video is a must watch! In order to improve you’ll need a foundation… You’ll need to understand the fundamentals. The fundamentals will lay the groundwork for improving in every single match you play. And, who better to teach you those fundamentals than 9 times EVO champion and multi-fighting game champion, Justin Wong. Want to Be Better? Improve Your Fundamentals Justin Wong willingly admits there are players who are better than him at certain fighting games. Of course there are… but, he also says when it comes to tournament set play…they can’t beat him. How does that even make sense? They’re better than him, but can’t beat him in set play? And, he’s proven it time and time again across fighting games he hasn’t played as much as others. You can even see the moment he takes his opponent’s soul at a tournament after a victory. What’s the secret sauce? Fundamentals… And, Justin’s sharing.

Here it is! The finale of our four-part series! If you’ve been practicing along we covered three main key points to set up your best training curriculum for practice mode: Reduce Input Errors (Build Muscle Memory) Identify Your Options (Learn What’s Safe) Learn Basic Combinations (Make Them Automatic) Part four is really a bonus addition and only comes after you understand your options for your own character. All of these parts are lifelong fundamentals to utilizing Training Mode, especially as Street Fighter 6 is updated and balanced. However, once you understand your options, it’s important to know how to use your options against an opponent. No better person to beat up on first than our CPU dummy! So, back into the lab we go, this time figuring out what our opponents may do and what we can do about it. If You Have Time to Block, You MAY Have Time to Dragon Punch

We’ve reached Part 3 of this 4 Part Series! Our goal here is simple, we’re setting up your very own training curriculum to make the best out of learning Street Fighter 6 (and really any fighting game!). Our focus is these three main points: Reduce Input Errors (Build Muscle Memory) Identify Your Options (Learn What’s Safe) Learn Basic Combinations (Make Them Automatic) Part 1 and Part 2 served as foundations for what we’re covering in Part 3. I assume you’ve laid the foundation, so next we’ll get into one of the main features of training mode: learning and executing combinations. You’ll often hear of training mode referred to as the “lab” or you’re “labbing a character” because people use training mode to experiment. And, boy are some of the things the fighting game community discovers just crazy sick. We’ll highlight more of these discoveries later! For now, let’s get into the lab ourselves! Attack Strings? Combinations?

Welcome to Part 2 of this 4-Part Series. In our first installment, Unlock Your Potential in Practice Mode: Part 1 - The Beginner’s Practice Plan, we took a look at how to ultimately build a practice plan to reduce input errors and build muscle memory. If you’re newer to Street Fighter or fighting games in general, definitely start there. If you’re here for Part 2, I assume you’ve already done Part 1! I can’t stress this paradigm shift enough when it comes to guides… The most effective way to learn is to read a piece and then go do it. When you’re ready for more, come back, read more, then implement again before moving further! As a reminder we’re working through three main goals for training mode: Reduce Input Errors (Build Muscle Memory) Identify Your Options (Learn What’s Safe) Learn Basic Combinations (Make Them Automatic)

If you’re learning Street Fighter 6 or any new fighting game for the first time, it’s tempting to just jump in and hit buttons. The more, the better! But, for most this just leads them down a path of frustration, when they eventually hit a wall and start seeing things happening in-game that they aren’t truly understanding. What you really need is just a basic practice plan. Something to either warm you up before jumping into games or to truly understand the character you want to play. After all, in order to get good at anything, you have to practice. Of course this leads us into Practice or Training Mode. Practice Mode is going to be your best friend and the foundation for any goal relative to “git gud!” at the game. Here we can safely hit buttons against a CPU dummy and gather data. Now, what most tend to do first is figure out what all the special moves are for their character… and maybe what cool combos they can eek out. This isn’t necessarily wrong…but, it’s not optimal for the beginner player to truly unlock their potential. As a beginner, you have three main goals when entering training mode:
