Aragami Oga Drills Terry in Street Fighter 6 With a Guest Coach on Voice Chat

HOLOLIVE — Aragami Oga, who said he had lost about 50 rating points in half an hour of ranked play, spent his Nov. 11 stream drilling the character Terry in Street Fighter 6 with a guest coaching him over Discord voice chat. The HOLOSTARS (3rd generation, TriNero) member said his Master Rate (MR) had slid from around 1450 to 1408, and told the guest he wanted to work out what he was missing.

He set up a password-protected custom room and invited viewers near his own rank to play him, starting with first-to-three sets, while the guest watched and advised between matches. The guest’s notes included not going for a throw after landing two light attacks, holding back on the lever too long when trying an anti-air, and using Burn Knuckle when his Drive gauge was low. His opponents played characters such as JP, Ed and Akuma.

“Praise doesn’t make me crumble anymore.” — Aragami Oga, after a run of compliments from the guest

In training mode, the guest taught a way to catch opponents who try to escape throws: walk forward as if to throw, then step back. Later the guest, who plays Classic controls, went through how to handle Modern Ed. A running joke was that Oga’s play fell apart whenever he was praised. He said at one point that the guest’s compliments worked like a Death Note, and later announced that praise no longer shook him.

After the guest signed off, Oga played one more viewer, typed what he had learned into a note on his Discord server, and set up a training-mode drill with guard reversal settings, counting a set as five successes in a row. He said he would like to reach Grand Master. Saying his lever had been misfiring, he also swapped it for another one on stream and played another match.

Chat cheered his anti-air attempts, and seven Super Chats came in; he read several of them near the end, including ones from viewers who had played him. He said the team’s face-to-face meeting for the tournament is on the 14th at 7 p.m., with a scrim starting about an hour later, and that he planned to stream again the next day.
