This. I love fighting games but I really am terrible at most of them, and even reading the terminologies and spending time on practice still has me overwhelmed and lost with a lot of stuff. This video is so detailed yet concise with the gameplay elements and concepts it really gave me a whole lot better understanding of these mechanics in fighting games.

[@chimericalical]

han gubi it explains why each situation where pressing buttons isn’t helpful. Or pressing random ones isn’t.

[@chimericalical]

Nachy just focus on basics first. Like in MVC2 I started with Blackheart as my anchor. All that I really needed to know was how to push block and that hard kick and hard punch threw out demons also his anti air assist was one of the best in the game. Doing and knowing just that helps a lot. I show that to new players at this barcade that had the game and they quickly get an edge over their friends just knowing those basics with one character in a 3v3 fighter. Then just knowing which assists to have for cover fighter during neutral helps. Sure, they can be used to extend combos as well, but working on cover and zoning is simpler and easier to help you get into the game. Things like that, just learn basics first, then do the more advanced things afterwards.

The fun part is trying to show someone the most simple and basic thing they can do to win.

So my job is to show them it’s not so hard to play with the basics and it’s actually pretty fun.

This is my favourite channel on KZbin. I didn't even care about Fighting games when I first saw this channel and now I'm pretty invested. Thank you Gerald.

[@CoreAGaming]

Glad you found it useful!

[@rmglover3191]

it is not an exaggeration to say - I *love* this video. since coming back on the scene to watch SF videos 4 years ago, I've been looking for a concise explanation to share with people about certain terms. especially "meaty, mixups, and frame traps." thank you so much for this. and, as always - so entertaining.

This is seriously one of the best fighting game analysis videos of all time and my favorite video on the channel. Even though the video is about "Why Mashing Doesn't Work" it ends up dissecting fighting games to its very core; frame data, footsies, movement, etc so good.
