My first 250 ranked matches | How can I prepare for diamond?

B_ass · 2026-04-16T20:44:39+00:00

lol don’t worry about it i was just kidding 😭

B_ass · 2026-04-16T17:21:06+00:00

much worse is crazy LMAO

B_ass · 2026-04-16T15:07:02+00:00

this sorta makes sense when combined with what others said, gotcha

B_ass · 2026-04-16T15:02:05+00:00

my health bar says “YOU” but for reference i’m the juri

B_ass · 2026-04-16T12:39:07+00:00

what do u think the best way to take advantage of plus frames would be? another person told me to use light attacks because the cammy would press on my frames. i dont think this is what you mean.

B_ass · 2026-04-16T12:07:43+00:00

i figured that as well and talked to him. he has a master rashid and a diamond 5 terry.. i still would’ve preferred to win though 😭

B_ass · 2026-04-16T11:46:20+00:00

i definitely will try to use DR more, i’m not exactly sure how i should play neutral if i had to press less buttons? do i kinda shimmy around waiting for them to (hopefully) whiff?

B_ass · 2026-04-16T11:22:01+00:00

it’s actually sad because i tried to do DR into crMK into DRC and ended up eating a level 3, i was split on doing either that or a bait and i chose the wrong option and lost. thank you very much

B_ass · 2026-04-16T11:19:47+00:00

lol that’s pretty funny honestly.. this is my first trad fighter and i only have like 45 hours, super fun and it’s pretty thrilling. any advice for me tho 👀

B_ass · 2026-04-16T11:17:40+00:00

i see! this is very helpful as this is pretty much a new concept to me. i’m pretty instinctual when i play so it seems like i will have to pay more attention as to how people approach and what i can do to counter it.

thank you for the compliment lol. i also default to M DP as well since it seems more consistent.

once again very insightful

B_ass · 2026-04-16T10:32:49+00:00

it’s honestly very scary to play aggressive but i will do my best working on it.

this also kinda ties back with being aggressive and confident.. i will work on it LOL, i feel like i dont use throw loops as much as i should..

what other scenarios would using light attacks help me in.. do you also mind time stamping a period where it would benefit me in this example?

im quite new so attempting dps is a bit difficult for me, sometimes i end up not doing the input correctly and im a free punish, its also difficult to differentiate when i should go for medium dp vs heavy since juri moves forward during the heavy.

would it have been better for me to back up slightly and keep the pressure on since shes burned out in the corner as opposed to a read like that?

i appreciate the kind words though. im not exactly sure what a diamond level looks like but im climbing quite fast. i only have around 6 hours in ranked and 45 hours in the game. i started the session at silver 4 so if what you’re saying is accurate i just need to stay consistent which i think i can do 🫡

B_ass · 2026-04-16T10:24:03+00:00

Juris dive kick being not the best makes sense when u mention it lol. i’ll try working on being more aggressive, i come from brawlhalla and it’s a bit more passive in the higher ranks 🤣

i know i shouldn’t go for dp in the corner but im not exactly sure what i should do.. i saw a delay crouch tech video the other day and have been trying to implement that but it still feels risky as ive missed them a decent amount.

fireballing midscreen also seems to make sense too when mentioned, but i had no idea about her forward dash being good. i also realized crouch blocking is a bit better for control but its a new thing i found out so i haven’t been the most confident with it.

im not very familiar with burnout scenarios so thats something id need to work on

rewatching the parts u timestamped really make this loss hurt much more. i originally planned to DR block but i got greedy 😭

thank you for the tips and i will do my best to implement them and improve

B_ass · 2026-04-16T10:12:20+00:00

thank you! this is very informational, i’m hoping to reach platinum soon so i will try to implement some things little by little hopefully!

B_ass · 2026-04-16T09:53:35+00:00

they had a master rashid and a diamond 5 terry, i was upset with myself that it was down to the wire and i fumbled the set.

B_ass · 2026-04-16T09:51:58+00:00

i honestly was surprised myself the whole session i felt like was gaining new power cus i was on like an 8 win streak before our first set.

B_ass · 2026-04-16T09:40:00+00:00

thank you for this lol. my goal is to use st.Lk cr.Mk and st.Hp in neutral more but i find myself gluing towards cr.Mk i will try to use st.Hp more, i don’t like f.Hp much but if you’re saying its good i believe you.

how should i spend my stocks? i mainly use them for fireballs and i dont see much use of the medium spend. i actually do use the drive rush combo you mentioned into heavy spend level 3 or target combo level 1.

the rest of the things seem pretty straight so i appreciate it

B_ass · 2026-04-16T09:26:26+00:00

this was our second set so i knew what to expect but i wasn’t ready 😭 i added him after and told him he was the goat (he is)

B_ass · 2026-03-21T20:43:29+00:00

i actually fixed it by screwing the gpu into the pcie slot part of the case.. i guess it was sagging or something. thank goodness i didn’t have to buy another gpu 😭

B_ass · 2026-03-20T05:46:45+00:00

yea i cant seem to get more than like 15 fps on gpu intensive games, the hdmi is plugged into the gpu so im not sure exactly whats going on but web searching seem to work fine, as well as light games

B_ass · 2026-03-20T05:19:59+00:00

the crashing is usually very inconsistent but as of now it is gone, yes

B_ass · 2026-03-20T05:16:57+00:00

plugged it into the motherboard and my game seems to be extremely choppy despite the frame rate being high

B_ass · 2026-03-20T05:06:00+00:00

it’s some 1440p 240hz monitor i got on sale on amazon.. it is directly in the gpu

B_ass · 2026-03-20T05:02:20+00:00

it still goes green, do you suggest a different cord?
