basic tutorial:Hit Confirmation
If you can’t promote yourself
to Warrior or Vanquisher(12 or 16),
or sometimes you demote
for like 3 or 4 ranks,
please remind one thing.
It is Hit Confirmation.
What is “Hit Confirmation”?
“Hit Confirmation”
is not a difficult concept.
It is
“To confirm whether
your move hit or blocked”
But I am sure many players
don’t do this “Hit Confirmation.”
Especially when I match with
from 12 to 15 dan players,
sometimes I find them forget this
“Hit Confirmation”.
Small moves hit must be confirmed
It is not difficult to
confirm big moves
whether they hit or blocked.
For example,
when you use Bryan,
Chopping Elbow(b+1)
is easy to check.
But for sure it is always forgetable
to check small moves.
For example,
do you all confirm
Crouching Punch(d+1),
every time you do?
Crouching Punch(d+1)
and 4 while rising,
is very useful combination.
It is often used in most characters
and by many players.
However, do you always check
the Crouching Punch
whether it is hit or blocked?
It is very dangerous to do same moves
whichever it is hit or blocked.
See above.
You can see Bryan is trying to keep moving,
but you can see that
I blocked the previous d/f+2.

I know all of us have some move patterns,
like A, B and C.
But it is important
to stop the next moves
if they block the previous one.
Especially small moves,
like 1 or 2,
or d/f+1,
you need to do “Hit Confirmation”.
Basic idea is to keep going when hit, stop when blocked
Why “Hit Confirmation” is important?
The basic idea is
to keep going when hit,
and stop moving when blocked.
It is risky to do the same actions
in both situations.
For sure, sometimes you need to move
even if you are in frame disadvantage.
But in that case,you also need to confirm
whether it is hit or blocked.
You can see Eliza keeps moving even though
I blocked her 4 while rising.
For sure it is important to break basic sometimes,
however it is always right to follow the basic.
Conclusions
If you feel you can win,
or if you feel there is something
wrong with you.
Try to look back your match
and do “Hit Confirmation” carefully.
Especially the small moves.
The basic concept is
“to keep moving when hit
(or wait for their panic moves),
and to stop moving when blocked.
And sometimes you break the basic.”
