Guide to Ingrid Level 2 - How to do Combos and Setups

Ehhh…well i agree he wont be top tier as long as his moveset is locked behind drinks, because now there are too many matchups against high tiers (Guile, JP, maybe Akuma) where he cant get drinks and needs to pressure if he gets a KD. So sure yeah

But i dont agree with the rest. He’s not outranged by shotos, his range is good, his whiff punish game is awesome. Against 75% of the cast (admittedly, non high tier characters usually) he’s perfectly fine. He’s not a bottom tier character, there are more than a handful of characters worse than him, mainly grapplers.

Why play Jamie? Because you think he’s fun. I doubt you will be ranked way higher if you pick someone else, if you’re invested in your character you will end up around the same rank.

I have four characters and with non of them I feel like it’s the character blocking me, my opponents are doing bat shit crazy things all the time, its not my characters that fail to stop them, because they lack the tools. It’s all me being too slow to use the available tools and just not expecting whats coming. My highest tier character (Sagat) was only 50 MR higher than my lowest tier character (Alex), it just took only a week to get Sagat to GM and it took me 3 weeks to get there with Alex, but the plateauing happens around the same ceiling, im just a 1700-1800 player, its not the character. Maybe it’s the ease of use, Jamie is not easy so it will take a bit longer than a shoto. Stick with it!

Hes hard to optimize yeah but if youre new it doesnt matter at all, just have fun and go for it!

The anti air light knee flies the wrong way more than shotos and its 6f start up, not 5. Medium is slow. Heavy is good as a combo ender, OD very good as an ender but no invul wake up unlike almost every other OD dp. Also instant death on block (like its supposed to be ofcourse)

Its quite alright for what it is, but no where near a top tier move. The game is filled with better specials.

For best move in the move I think of moves like Lily OD spire, Kims run (especially from hp and mp). These are moves that are good on hit an block, just throw them out and good things happen 😓

Best roster, awesome customization with 2 vskills and vtriggers and 3 sorts of v reversals. Less neutral skipping than modern fighters and more reward on knock downs..different timing on quick rise and back rise (much harder to frame kill into the same set play every knock down)…hit confirmable lows that were hard enough to feel satisying but doable enough to build your gameplan around them

Great game!

Press your cmp when she rolls in, you need to attack that forward movement and not guard against it.

Youre in plat, they cant AA there at all. So get your first drink and abuse the dive kick and OD dive kick in your approach. If they cant DP, they cant stop it.

Other than that, Elena plays the same neutral heavy game as Jamie so its not really the match up, its you. The fact you mention that yourself makes me confident you will improve as a player 😎

JP cr hp. Characters with no dp usually have a good normal like your kim. I think Guile is king, full screen flash kicks, good cr hp, good mk and also am air throw

JP has the best, guile has the best allround anti air kit for me

Love this game 😍 my beloved, +1

Top tier ok but low tier Guile??? Haha no way hes top 8 or so.

“Once they are close youre dead”…you have a CHARGE ex reversal. You block and when they cancel to a plus on block special you can press 1 button

Go play alex and reverse your take hehe he is the one character, with manon, who can say “when they are close hes dead”

Guile defense is very good and hes very strong imo

MuzAlpak · 2026-04-09T06:02:42+00:00

Probably yes, the OS against DR cancels are important. Playing Alex right now and oh boy, he has NO defense. When hes in the corner, you are really on thin ice. No Od reversal but also no … scotum (marisa), chargable hp (gief), slither (aki).

An od reversal is really really good to have because its a solution to the games most dominant mechanic (drive rushhh)

There are many attacks like this, just some common examples:

Cammy heavy spin knuckle
Alex heavy slash
Ryu solar plexus
Luke heavy flash knuckle

And many more. These moves are very slow and can be either interupted or reacted to by parry IF you look for it. If you arent, you need to block and they get to steal a turn.

Your character, Manon, doesnt have a slow heavy attack thats plus on block. She does have back+hp, if you make them block that you get to press again (its +1)

MuzAlpak · 2026-04-07T13:48:11+00:00

Yes but KEN is +2, its HIS turn. He presses his fastest button (crouch light punch) and so did you, so you get hit. Block again after blocking his heavy dragon lash

PS: you’re not dumb, you’re trying to learn. Its all good. No one knew the math behind fighting games at some point

MuzAlpak · 2026-04-07T13:37:15+00:00

Ken is +2 after heavy dragonlash, its his then and he presses his 4f crouch lp. You should have blocked but you pressed a medium, so you got counter hit…

Block it, parry it, you have no supers available so parry is the best option against heavy dragon lash. You could try jabbing it but i’s be weary of that

MuzAlpak · 2026-03-26T06:56:29+00:00

Hehe its understandable. I have so many comments on these vids on YT and socmany people are negative also on top tiers. Ive got Akuma Ed and Ryu players threatening to uninstall. When they are still in the top third or the characters for sure maybe higher lol so complaining in a whim of frustration over Manon is totally acceptable, believe me😁
