Ragnarök Tyr

A few months ago, I made a video titled "How to Deal with Dragon's Fire Liu Kang." In the video I took a somewhat comedic approach at learning the basic strings & setups with Dragon's Fire Liu Kang. That video/thread can be found here:

Not an expert video mind you, but it was a guide meant to get people thinking about Dragon's Fire and how to get around it. As opposed to just rolling over and dying for every Liu Kang they happen to run across. Lately, I've noticed some look at Dragon's Fire, and Cancel characters in general with a defeatist mentality.
"I'd learn Liu Kang but I can't do Cancels."
"I can't practice against him because I'm not good enough to learn them. (Cancels)
"I have to just watch videos because I can't do them myself."
Without taking too much of a high horse, allow me to borrow a TYM phrase when I say that mentality is *Soap bar in my mouth*. To better illustrate my point, I share a bit of my own history with this game, and Liu Kang; then I give something of a basic guide/approach to Cancels in this video.
In the interest of not being redundant I won't give a lengthy dissertation of the video. I will say it's not meant to make you a Master of Cancels, it's just taking what is perceived as impossible and breaking it down into a simple step by step approach. If I can leave anyone of TYM or any Fighting Game Community with anything its this. No skill in this game or any other is impossible for the vast majority to learn IF you put the time in. Take a hard problem and break it down into parts to solve.
If you found the video in any way informative or helpful, I would appreciate a thumbs up on it. If there's anything you'd like to discuss or share, I'm all ears.
