This was way harder than getting to Celestial with Potemkin the first time.

Let’s goo ! How hard is it from diamond 1 to master ? Is there a big skill gap ?
It was harder to get into Diamond than it was to get into Master, for me. Have this clip from the previous round with this Chun-Li.
As much as I hate the sentiment that “Master” doesn’t mean “good player”, you can make it in there with some pretty big knowledge gaps, as you can see. This was the first Master I went up against, but since getting in I’ve had people lose to even sillier shit, myself included.
One thing where I was kinda lucky to have it click somewhere in the middle of Diamond was that I started tapping my parry button along to the beat of people’s combos/blockstrings and that started giving me tons of bonus perfect parries overnight. Prior to making that minor adjustment I didn’t really use my parry all that much outside of matchups with a lot of projectile spam.
TL;DR: Perfect parry is pretty good, and occasionally be willing to bust out the dumbest plays you can think of, cause people don’t do well against wild playstyle switches.
Wow congrats! What will you do now?
I recently got into platinum but have taken a bit of a break from the game. Will probably start up again soon. I’m a bit afraid of climbing up from platinum tho lol.

Here’s the outline for the super oversimplified guide I wanna make.
Please ask me any questions you can think of.
I appreciate this and will be taking it on!!
Small note: for whatever reason I misremembered which combo was her bnb. It’s intermediate 6, not 11.
As in forward not down back twice?
I meant combo #6 from her intermediate trials. (I get the notation joke, in case you were joking, but I like to be sure.)
I wasn’t not joking! I didn’t know people reference the combo trials like that!
Idk if people generally do, but since it’s the most important one, I just happen to have it (evidently poorly) memorized, to be able to tell people where to learn it in-game.
Sick. Congrats. The platinum grind is brutal. Stuck in the middle of platinum 3 right now.
