ishiki has three main things that made me put him on the metal list well for one is his Jutsu the fire style Jutsu for two is his grab and three is the hit priority he has within his first I'll say three hits right all three of these things must be avoided while also protecting against what is more than likely going to be a powerful set of supports right to do this a few things have to be thought about throughout the entirety of the battle firstly and the first thing that you need to understand and assess is the distance of your character the character that you use the most is he a close range a mid-range or a far range fighter me for example I meain heavy Sasuke or white clo white cloak Sasuke whatever you'd like to call him so I'm definitely a close to mid-range character but Sasuke is way more proficient in close quarter combat and because of this you need to determine a support that is going to Aid your style character so for me for example because I'm close range I'm going to want to pick something that is not so in the way of the battle I don't want to have to cuz 90% of the time with a close quarter fighter you're going to have to call out your support you know close range uh by your opponent and you don't want them or their supports to knock yours out of the way and nullify them so what I do to get around this is I make my Close Quarter Fighters have uh like quick supports like air supports that you can jump and call out quickly and uh the reason for that is because they're not on the field so much they're not directly in the way of the fight and usually when you call them out they kind of are off to the side just a little bit and when you're in the air they're just that much more out of the way so they it is still definitely possible for your supports to be knocked out of the way of course but it it limits that to a smaller amount if that makes any sense when you do that or when you decide on a support that way so now if you're using somebody like Shino or MOA for example it it almost gives you more space to have a support that can stand between you guys without the worry of losing him so just for an example uh somebody like Orochimaru or or pay for example okay now we have our team figured out and we understand our team and how to use them so the next thing that we have to do is figure out theirs you got to go into battle it doesn't have to be ranked but that's where most people are fighting the hardest that's why I choose to do it but you want to go into a game and use ishiki use Jin use Mino use all of these powerful powerful people use those supports the Naruto the Kakashi the all of them the the Le use all of these things after you do that you'll get a way better understanding for how they work as well as where their openings are and just to elaborate on that a little bit all characters have points in their combo where it's either harder to or literally impossible to either cancel or Dash right if you use these characters you'll find out where they are and you'll be able to use that against your opponent and that'll give you the upper hand that your opponent doesn't have especially if they're also not too fond of your character because chances are they haven't used used your character and they don't know the ins and outs of your character either okay so that knocks all the basics out of the way let's jump into battle and start getting into battle tips now so again it's going to be expected that these players have strong supports you're almost never going to get somebody with a strong strong uh meta lead and not have a strong support as well it's almost always going to happen you need to be prepared for that mentally and keep a cool head uh evading supports come first and then you go on the offensive it does not always work there there obviously are players who are good enough to Corner you imprison you that sort of thing but it does make a difference combined with layering traps layering sorry combined with laying traps and utilizing the counter which is very very very important mechanic uh you have a recipe for winning against almost all meta spammers not just ishiki not just Mino not just jigan everything about these battles are going to require pretty much 100% of your focus so each time you lose against something like this it's going to seem almost infuriating and frustrating but the the most important thing that you could do is remain focused and ask yourself at the end of that battle what move or what mechanic did this person use that took priority and ended up giving him the battle if you come down and determine that the battle battle is a connection issue which is why you're not winning I would avoid that player it is not the meta it's not the character it's not about overcoming anything at that point it is just the net code and you simply need to avoid that player with all of that being said I sincerely hope that I at least help somebody out there sort of grasp a concept or um give them a little bit of an edge on these quote meta spammers so hope you guys all enjoyed this let me know below some of your tips what you guys do to get
