Hi I'm Kail and I make videos on gaming, specifically Street Fighter. I've been a Juri main for 12 years and I love discussing the ins and outs of the games I enjoy!

I stream here on youtube Wednesday and Saturdays 11am-2pm and at Twitch.tv/bignastykail mon-thurs 7-10pm est. Most days I'm playing Street Fighter and Final Fantasy XIV.

I just wanted to take some time and thank you all for the support over these last few weeks. To anyone who hit the paypal, I really appreciate it, and its helped keep me up! It mean's a lot to me that you believe in me enough to help out. I've always prided me on being a content creator that doesn't do heavy call to actions with no value to the viewer. That is always heavy on my mind. I know money comes hard for everyone and how parasocial social media can be. I don't like to feed into that.

But as far as I know, I cant communicate through paypal to thank everyone individually. If you did, I really appreciate it. Thank you!

Edit: And to anyone who is a youtube only viewer: remember you can support by becoming a member. I usually dont advertise it since I don't offer any perks, but if there is a perk you would want to see from membership, leave a comment below. But to my new members, THANK YOU!

That said: My schedule is clear for 1 on 1 coaching. If anyone is interested in a session where we can go over a few vods, spar, and talk about gameplay to help you on the right path to your goals, hit me up on twitter/discord/instagram...anything at "bignastykail". English speaking, and discord required.

Also this week I want to try and put out a few more videos, so leave any suggestions for content you might want to see. If there is a concept you dont understand, I would love to do a video on it. Those are my favorite videos to do.

And as always: I stream on youtube and twitch Mon, Tues, Thursday 7pm EST. If you have amazon prime and want to support me without paying a dime more, you can link your twitch account to your amazon account and use your free monthly twitch sub.

And if you want to support me non-monetarily, your eye and watch time on my videos gos a long way. If you got this far, thanks for reading, and leave a heart in the comments <3

Hey all! Kail here! So Good news, bad news time! I recently lost my employment and I'm in between jobs, which sucks. Somewhat good news, I'm sure you've noticed an uptick in videos! I dont know how long I'll be out, but the bills keep coming in. Until unemployment hits, its just twitch and youtube to keep me afloat. If you would like to support me and the work i've done, nows the time to do so. You can do so in a few ways.

First is by watching videos, and engaging with them. If you watch them and they bring you value, like button, leave a comment, and think of any of your friends or peers that might enjoy it, share it with them. I believe in showing content to those who want to see it, that always has better impact for the creator. Same goes for any of my livestreams, m-t-thurs on twitch and youtube!

Second is by becoming a member (yt) or sub (twitch). You get more bang for your buck on twitch as you get emotes and ad-free viewing but twitch does take more of a cut. If you want more of your buck to go to me, youtube membership.

Third is by contacting me and setting up a 1 on 1 coaching session. I'll try and work with you on price, but if you're like 1600 and below, I can help! Vod review, sparring, Q and A... I dont do this often, but this is a way to get a direct line of support, while supporting me! Discord is prefered, @ bignastykail. But any social media platform under the same name. Drop a line, we'll talk.

Fourth is gonna be hitting the tip jar. This is the BEST means to do so...I keep the most out of your support. streamelements.com/bignastykail/tip.

I am embarrassed to make this post. I have pride in never asking for you to come out of your pocket without anything back in your hands. But, I hope my videos have found you well...and helped guide you. ANY support is helpful, even if its just watching my videos front to back, and engaging with it.

Good wishes in the comments please! Hope everyone is well...tell your loved ones you love them, and I hope the videos in the coming days are good!

Do you want to have your voice heard on the channel? Here are 2 ways you could participate on the channel! I'll be bringing back VOD reviews and starting a new video series called the Kailbag Mailbag. Lets talk about that first.

I want to find ways to connect with you all directly. I know some of you cant catch my streams or discord isn't your thing. If you have any questions or feedback, you can email me at Bignastykail@gmail.com. I'll be closing off submissions every week midnight on saturdays (est). Shoot an email over there, and i'll try and add it to a video where I answer/explain/or just give my thoughts. I really would love your participation!

VOD reviews are opening up again! So if you're interested in submitting a replay to be reviewed in Street Fighter 6, its time to drop the codes! The last time I did this, the window was cut short because of a game update and capcom tends to update whenever they want so get yours in early. I also was thinking about opening up coaching 1 on 1 so I may make that a perk at my patreon. Stay tuned for for information on that. I'll be picking VODs based on which I find interesting, or if there is something really valuable to learn to the player and valuable to the community. I will try and do as many as I can but be patient with me! Like the coaching, I may do a guaranteed review on my patreon. I dont like pay-walling content, so I do want to add good value if I offer a service. If this is something you would be interested in, leave feed back here.


So here are the rules. To submit your VOD review, this post will be where you post. Please fill out all the fields with your Name, Rank, About you, thoughts on the match, and of course the replay code.

Name:
Rank:
About you:
Thoughts about matches:
Replay Codes:

*Please include what you were thinking going into the match and thoughts after the match.
**Find replays you lost, that think were winnable but you're missing 1 or 2 ACTIONABLE items that you could learn or work towards to improve your chances for next time
***To get a replay code, go into your fighter profile, go to your history and select a match. On the top left will be the replay code. DOUBLE CHECK THE CODE BEFORE SENDING. Pictures attached for examples
****NOT EVERYONE WILL BE SELECTED
*****By Submitting you are agreeing that its okay to share on stream, or in a future video! Although the purpose will be to help and share information, for the sake of entertainment there may be jabs to poke fun. I won't be mean but if there's some humor I will be going for it. Since the randomly selected ones are a free service, let youtube throw me 2-3 dollars in ad revenue rofl.

As always make sure to join the discord: discord.gg/fqG4d7Up, as we try and help each other improve there as well.

And check out my 2nd channel (Big Nasty Kail Yaps): www.youtube.com/channel/UCXtI...

Juris Feng Shui Engine has a problem: https://youtu.be/9R-IKpXsXbM

Well I accidentally dropped a video early in my 2nd channel, bignastykailyaps. I went over an issue I found with feng shui engine that hinders her countering DI.

If you want more content where I talk about the game in a long form, and less tutorial and guides, you should check that channel out. I know it would get more views on main, but it’s not content for everyone, ya dig?

It would mean a lot to me if you threw that channel a sub and a watch. <3

So imma post this here because I dont want to forget it and my spirit is so low right now. TLDR: Sometimes Juri cant counter Drive impact with some normals if you try and cancel to Drive Impact too late

So Juri suffers from an issue that a few characters have, and its...some of their CANCELABLE normals are cancelable only after a few frames after becoming active. You might have seen it in your games where you cancel a button to drive rush and it feels like the drive rush is delayed. Thats because some moves have the property stating "Special or Drive rush cancelable after 2nd active frame".

This is easy to understand for Juri for an example. Her SHK is cancelable in FSE, but she cant cancel when she's in the air. It takes a few frames to land (5 frames). So if an opponents DI hits you on frame 3 and you mash DI, you will NOT get DI.

Akuma had this problem with his cmk. On his cmk he can only cancel on frame 2 BUT they added a clause that he can cancel to DI on frame 1. Jamies SHK is delayed until the 2nd active frame. Most characters have 1, maybe 2. Juri has a few:

slp: Special/DR cancel is delayed until after 3rd active frame
smp: Special/DR cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame
slk: Special cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame
shk: Special/DR cancel is delayed until after 5th recovery frame
overhead: Special/DR cancel is delayed until after 2nd active frame

I noticed this happening a lot under Feng Shui Engine. Most feng shui engine normals have a different cancel between a SPECIAL and a FSE CHAIN. For an example Juri's cmk you have 13 frames to cancel to a special, but you have 15 frames to cancel to another FSE chain normal. This means theres a window where you can do a special cancel and do it too late...and it will give you a normal. Another issue is Drive Impact. Lets take the FSE chain shp, shk.

Shp has 17 frames to cancel to a special, but 19 frames to cancel to a normal. If I do cmk, shp and see my opponent go for a DI...if I cancel on frame 18, or 19 to a DI, the game will give me SHK, not DI. This is because DI is a special and the window is closed, BUT its still open for a normal...which is why you get SHK.

This means there are dead spots where you cannot counter DI (even tho the attack is special cancelable) on the FRONT end of the attack, AND the back end of the attack. This also means there are frames where you cannot cancel to a super on these frames as well.

I found out about this from this situation in FSE: Drive Rush smk (Block and opponent mashed DI on my next attack), cmk, shk xx DI. The DI did NOT come out. This is because it was within the closed window where shk is not special cancelable. I reacted. I made the play...but in hindsight I should have used cmk, chk.... or cmk, fhp.

I'm not saying this SHOULD be changed. I'm not saying its game breaking...but understanding FSE deeper helps you create a better plan. Do with this information what you want. haha.

Sorry for the lack of content. Ever since my mom got sick (and probably starting a new medication around the same time) my mood and spirit have been so down. I'm working on it. Please be patient. My confidence is really low so...yea...we'll get there. I still wanna open up vod reviews but I kinda...feel like who am I to vod review right now? I cant even help myself.

Anyway. I love you all. Tell your loved ones you love em. Catch a stream sometimes (7pm est on twitch and youtube)

So I'll be taking a break from streaming for at least a week, maybe 2 to get my mental straight. Heres why:

Last stream I did was the Mai to Masters stream. The goal was to do one long stream. "This stream doesn't end until I reach Master". I tapped out at like 16 hours. But with that came a lot of tilt, frustration, and just ugly behavior. I gotta apologize for that. It wasn't fun to watch, it wasn't right of me to be so mean to chat, my opponents and myself. No one comes to stream to watch me go through a nervous breakdown over a game. It's not what I want to be...an angry and spiteful person. I know I'm not a good person, but I'm trying.

I'll always strive to do better, and I don't think I can do better where my heads at, hence the break. If you got this far, If you've shown support through all this I do appreciate it...I upset yall, and I'm very sorry.

I have ADHD and with that comes rejection sensitivity. Basically...when theres failure or rejection...it causes distress. (Of course I'm not saying this to excuse my behavior). This stream idea was important. I wanted to create an event...have a goal...and do something cool. I'm always chasing validation from my peers, and the people I look up to. If they can do it...then I can do it! But I realized that after a few hours of streaming, i realized I would fail in my goal. I felt like...I wasn't good enough to hang with the big dogs...its embarrassing. I feel shamed. I'm sure I lost a friend in all this, and wont have the chance to apologize.

After the fog raised that and I could think clearly I realized...I was dehydrated, tired, and literally not mentally there. I don't remember much about the stream. Very surreal. So when this happens, my emotional regulation is unchecked.

I have to do better. I will do better. I'll start working on videos again in the meantime. I hope I didn't lose too many of your support. I believe character is when you screw up and know you cant fix it...but still strive to do right. That's what I'll do.

I hope to see yall soon.
I'm sorry again.

Kail.

‪@BigNastyKailYaps‬ <-2nd Channel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRQ_b...

Its my belief that a character is only as good as its frame data. And in my attempts to speak my truth to power, often I am met with criticism. I don't "Downplay" Juri. I don't "complain for no reason". I get it that she's a "Million dollar character". That doesn't mean that she doesn't have her issues and they are usually in places where the rest of the cast dont have that issue.

So This is a video about my controversial takes like "buff crouching medium kick" or "Juris overhead needs to be buffed".

Remember I stream on twitch.tv/bignastykail and here on youtube M,T, Thur 7pm est. Hope to see you there.

**Nasty Club!**

What's up everyone, I wanted to share some goals for the new year. I've always wanted to make helpful video content and keep the "future of the channel" stuff on the community page, so here are some ideas!

**BigNastyKailYaps**
In 2025, I'll be using my second channel more to separate my main content from more casual thoughts and discussions. Twitter and Bluesky aren't cutting it for that, and I miss just riffing and working things out. To monetize the channel, I need 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers. Subscribers will come, but watch hours means I need more content. So, I'll be pushing the second channel to reach that goal. This isn't just about money (though it always helps), it's about reinvesting in the channel to make even MORE content. If it brings in 20% of my main channel revenue, that's a success!

**Future Videos and Patreon**
I'm putting more into my Patreon. They take less of your money, and I want to provide value to viewers. So, I'll start with ad-free YouTube videos for a low tier and think about other perks. I've also considered "Sponsor a Video," where you can directly support specific video topics. This could even go towards hiring an editor, giving me more time to create. I want to eventually branch out and do more "Big Nasty Vlogs" where I can just talk about anything important...may it be fgc/gaming related, or even just world stuff thats important to me. In the latter part of the year I want to start looking into patreon exclusive guides or courses.

**Merch and Content**
I'm also looking into merch that's not just "gamer" stuff. I'm thinking of a "Diabolical" line (get it? DiaboliKAIL) that's more subtle and allows me to collaborate with other artists.

Content-wise, I've been in a creative rut lately. I'm having a crisis of confidence and learning pains with new ideas. I'd like to do a coaching series with other creators and pros, enter weekly tournaments, and maybe do challenge videos or special holiday streams. I also want to do more interviews and maybe even a podcast (though my stutter makes me nervous about that).

**Most Importantly**
I want to have fun and enjoy creating content. I love being in front of the camera and growing this community. Self-improvement will help my mental game and confidence, which will lead to better content. Making more from YouTube without pressuring viewers, collaborating with others, and offering valuable Patreon perks are all part of the plan.

Thanks for reading this long message (maybe it should've been a video). Let's be Diabolical in 2025! Together.
