 There's nothing quite like the first week when a new fighting game comes out. And for me, DNF Duel has been a ton of fun. The right matches you're about to see now are right after my first set of right matches with Swiftmaster, and I was just starting to get the hang of the character and how I wanted to play him. And honestly, I think I might be starting to get addicted to this game. It's really good. Oh, this is exactly what I wanted! Oh, this is right after the last recording, and this is the guy that just beat me. This is the rematch I've been waiting for. If you didn't see the last video, my Swiftmaster was brand new to the game, and we went through some struggles, but now I'm feeling a little more confident. Nothing changed between now and then, except my confidence levels, so get ready. Oh, Hurricane. I'm also gonna play a little more patient. Oh, okay, okay, he's got range. That's Vanguard's big thing. He's got range. I gotta respect that. I gotta respect it. I gotta respect you, but not always. Not always. I'm not always gonna respect you. I can't give you the level of respect you want. He's stuck in the wind. He's stuck. He got nowhere to go. The wind was calling him home. God, I am low. Oh, did you see that dash out? Oh my God, he swung it so, he swung that so high! Damn! I got nervous. I got nervous. Okay, okay. I've also gotta just shorten my buttons down. There we go, Hurricane. God, look at the range we have too, though. Damn, I wasn't there. I wasn't close enough. Hurricane, reach. Okay, can't jump, can't jump. It's too obvious. We've been approaching like that too many times. He caught me throwing out the wind. Damn. Okay, well, wait, wait, hold on. We could still win the set. We need to win the set at this point. We can promote. He promoted off me. No, no, no, no, no, no. We gotta put him back. We gotta put him back. This is it. This is the set that will determine who stays promoted and who stays devoted. He clicked a button. He clicked a button, and he does so much damage to Swiftmaster. Love that. Love that for me. Okay. Oh God, I gotta just block after that, though. I dashed in. I gotta stop playing aggressive defense. Just let me play door-world defense. I'm not clicking a button, dude. I just wasted so much bar. Damn, I jumped again. If I would have just hit mediums, I might have been able to just slide through and get a hit. Woo. So this, this is the competition. DP, get him off me. Damn, he hit me through the wind. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. There's some more hurricanes out. Just get some chip damage. Make him a little angry. That couldn't have felt good. Medium was too slow there. Whoa, whoa, whoa. He knows the combos. He knows how to combo into a super Ivan practice, but actually, mine's probably pretty easy. I could just wind it out. Oh no. All right. I do have my speed boost though. So if I just run at him, we might be able to close it. He sweet me from mid-screen. I did not think you would be able to sweet me like that. We lost the set. No. Rematch, rematch, please. Give me the rematch. Please give me the rematch. No. A mirror match. You know what? I'll take a mirror match. Let's see what happens here. He also started with the medium. All right. I'm exhausted. I'll back up now. Oh, that's good. I don't really use that in the back tornado a lot. All right. He's doing the corner combos well. He went for the overhead. I didn't block. Loops. Loops. Loops. I didn't block high again. Well, so far the good news is that I do what he does. Oh God. Damn. He do be cooking though. I kid. I tell a lie. I didn't block the overhead. I didn't block the overhead. Block the overhead, force him to do something else. Okay. Okay. God, that tornado was pretty good, huh? All right. We should be able to finish him off here. Damn, DP. I'll also DP. I'll also DP. I got no, I got no quads against DP. Damn the wind move. God, those tornadoes. I'll take it. Little chip damage from the friendly tornado. Do a backflip real quick. I'm feeling good. Okay, DP. That tornadoes are good at good projectile matchups. Damn, damn. I do be mashing. I do be mashing. Why did I mash DP though? He didn't kill me there. He could have. Wow. He threw. Oh, we got very lucky there. But I'll still take the win. I mean, we need as many wins as we can get. Okay. Very winnable set here. Just let's go 2-0 and let's rank up. Let's go 2-0 and get out of here. Okay. He knows that when he gets full screen, I like to throw that out. Get off of me. God, that moves good too. Grabbed. That was kind of crispy. A little crispy grab every now and again. Never hurt nobody. Got him getting cooked this game. I should have popped it. I should have popped it. I should have popped it. He might have still been immune. I don't know if he's still immune to it in tornado form. But damn. Okay. Focus up. Focus up. Huge damage. Huge damage. Get off of me. Damn, this is bad. Get off of me again. Oh, don't throw that out. I didn't. I meant to do the back tornado, not back air suction. Damn. All right. We lost another one. Hold on. We got to finish up the set with the win. Damn. I'm not even talking. I'm so focused on Swiftmaster. But we could still make this work. I'm going to immediate tornado, back tornado. Damn. Kept at the pressure. God, you can't. You can't have trade there or at least not with the standing medium. All right. Get him off me with a little DP. Get him off of me again. Okay. Double hurricane. Double hurricane twice. That's how you get the games. That's how you lock it up. They never expect double hurricane. All right. We got to pop. We got to pop tornadoes first. What? How did he win that? How did he win that trade? We both knew about the double hurricanes. The damage Swiftmaster does to Swiftmaster is crazy. The hell, the really just melts away. Lock it up, baby. We're going to take the set and the rank points we needed those. We really need to win this next set 2-0. Oh, now this is what I'm talking about. 44 matches, 54% win ratio. These are the kind of matches I need right now. I need to learn. So let's see if I can learn with some wins. I know you learn more from defeat, but honestly, I'm trying to get some victories under my belt. All right. Remember, all we have to do is overwhelm him. This guy has a gun, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that he... I'm going to pop the tornadoes. That was not a projectile. Nice. Oh, he rolled. That was sick. That was devious. Okay. I don't know why I tried to DP there, to be honest. All right. We're a little low. We're a little low. Damn. He just double shot me. He just double shot me. That was crazy. Do I just go in now? Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Damn. I couldn't get over that. DP. DP. We're going to take that round. That was a clean round. I focused up. I did what I wanted to do and I brought it home. Okay. Let's do that again. Speed. Grab. Oh, yeah. Now we're cooking. Now we're cooking, boys. They're clean and professional. We're going to bring over on set one. We might be able to rank up here. All right. So now I'm starting to get it. When they play slow, it gives me more time for my brain to keep up with what Swiftmaster's trying to do. He hasn't stopped us yet. Okay. He's starting to figure out the defensive schemes he's got though. Devious mix. God, that medium hits so far. I could just DP and win right now. Well, I did tell you, I was going to DP away. Did I? That's all that really takes. All right. He hasn't stopped us yet. Okay. I put myself in the corner. We are playing very smart right now. The tornadoes was not the one I wanted there. I don't think we all know that I was going for the standard route. Oh, grab again. Okay. He just shot me that time. Oh, I didn't get there. I didn't get there in time to mix. I tried to jump over. Okay. He's got a round. He's got a round. Oh, this is a thinking man's game. This is a thinking man's game. I'm going to run up to grab. He did not want me to hit him that time. I can't do anything there. Okay. I'm dashing it out, dude. This is the scariest game ever. That was so smart. It was so, he was so patient there. That was a thinking man's round, dude. That was, that was all thinking. God, once I get the speed boost, it is a lot easier though. Okay. Let's see if he can actually stop it. No, I wasn't an answer. It only worked for him last time because I didn't do that. Damn, I'm getting cooked now. I'm getting cooked now. Damn, he hit me before it worked. That is so good. Oh, oh, oh, oh my God, dude, put the guns away. That did so much damage. All right, all right, all right. Round two. I'm focused. We're going to start with the same thing. Grab again. Can't believe that hit me. I can't believe that hit me. I deserve that one. That was bad. Grab again. DP understandable. He tried to grab me. I was out of the range. We'll take the round. I'm focused up right now. He still has not found an answer for that, which is good for us. That round started devastating. Oh, shit. There we go. Grab again. Damn, I tried to DP. I tried to DP. He DP two. That was sick. I knew he would DP. I knew he would DP. So I took my time. I blocked it. That was a great set, honestly. But I don't think we rank up. No, we just get to have one win. So you know we got to go for another set. You know we got to double dip and try to promote again. Okay, we are here with the final set and we are going up against Ghostblade. Let me just skate on it. We might as well take our time, right? Oh, Ghostblade is also a really cool character. But now's not the time to admit that he's cool looking. Now is the time for me to just absolutely go in and try to play the game. Oh, God, I'm not playing the game. We're cooking. I love when I get to cook. I love when I get to cook. I love when I get to cook. I love when Swiftmaster could just run in and throw wind at people, dude. That's all I'm trying to do. Let me get this quick rank up. Hold on real quick. Hold on. Oh, cook on him. Oh, I went too hard. Okay, he's getting to play the game now. It's always bad for us when they get to play the game. Oh, you can't. You can't just block, dude. I'm going to run up and grab. Oh, that is so that's a scary situation to be in, though. There we go. Back to Silver 3, baby. After a long, long time, we did make it back. Can we cement our place in Silver 3, though, with a quick win? That's what I want to see. I want to cement our place here. Let me cement it. Okay, that was bad. I didn't go low. Damn. Got to remember to go low there. There we go. That's a knockdown. Knockdown means I could have set up to mix up there, but I forgot. I was so happy. I finally got the knockdown. I completely forgot. Grab. Oh, we're getting knocked down again. Gotcha. Grab. Tornado. Just jump back to tornado. Very hard to make a comeback against that, but we'll just take it. Was that round one? That was round one. So we can still have another round to think of stuff to do. Oh, he did back dash. Nice. Oh, come on. You got to open up. You got to open up, dude. Oh, there we go. That. Yeah, that will convert. Let's see if I can get the knockdown. We do. Just walk and grab. God, I love this character. I feel like this video is definitely the video of learning. I feel like I definitely get this character to a little bit better of a level now. I still need to learn more combos, but right now I'm feeling good and that's where we'll leave it off.
