How To Fighting Games

[@good_rum4185]

It's a legitimate shame that PunkDuck doesn't have a larger fan base, these videos are irrefutably high quality. Which is a breath of fresh in the cesspool of recycled content we call KZbin anymore

[@laktrak3739]

Well he upload a video every 6 months so your not getting a huge fanbase put of dat at least on yt

[@kevmargiela]

I know right! What a loser

[@Creepo_J]

Underrated tho

[@aonstability5428]

If he uploaded more than 3 times a year he’d have a huge fan base

[@nothanks6784]

why did you randomly throw "anymore" at the end of that sentence

[@cogs9741]

New Punk Duck video hitting like the Sloppenheimer 4000

[@veritasexperience7765]

I guess you could say.... this video was DA BOMB 😂😂😅😅😅🎉😉

[@its_renren7292]

the fucking WHAT 🤣🤣🤣

[@nottidduss6940]

As someone who spent 2 months to go from 0 to Gold in Street Fighter 5 not too long ago, I really hope this video encourages people to give the genre a shot. There will always be some character who has some quality that fits you, and mastering your playstyle with that character feels very fulfilling.

[@hyanehighoctane]

SF6 is how i discovered i liked eating glue

[@vontecontroll1556]

in 2 months you might get to masters its kinda easy

[@manuelorozco5147]

@@vontecontroll1556 I got from rookie to master in 8 days, easy ass rank tbh (the skill gap between master ranks is insane tho)

[@cristobalbarra583]

As someone who hasn't enjoyed the fighting genre like never, I tried a lot of games, and MK11 was my favorite, fun and is easy for idiots like me, I do recommend try because you may find a game of that genre you really like (I have over 60 hrs on mk11 so it was worth the try of different games)

[@veritasexperience7765]

This was great! My fond memories of playing street fighter as a strapping young boy were repressed by a history of alcohol induced amnesia, but you just brought em back - cheers.

[@Discerned_]

That soul caliber 4 intro took me back. Also Yoda is stupid.

[@thomasscott6146]

​@@Discerned_i just took him as a joke character tbh like gon in tekken but western

[@ryu_freecs]

I can be 16 years old and I can 24 years old, and I'll still die laughing from your videos, thank you Ed, never stop doing what you do.

[@brodokamen]

Using that specific Woolie clip was godlike. Amazing video, Punk!

[@benedwards1410]

This is genuinely an incredible video in terms of comedy as well as pushing forward the fighting game community while highlighting the issues with a lot of the games, I really hope this gets a ton of views and gets out there

[@xs1l3n7x]

Thank you for imparting Daigo's message to us, both of you are champs.

[@mannmctrash]

I really hope Tekken 8 has some kind of single player arcade type mode like 4 and 5, I suck at Tekken but being able to play through a mini-campaign with a story for each character was so much fun and made me never even consider I could be playing against other people.

[@roozy10]

I play treasure mode cuz I love the crazy combinations of gear they put on ppl XD getting wrecked by Jin or Paul with gamer girl headset and anime girl blush make the beating worth it

[@dogman15]

Interesting that Them's Fightin' Herds only got a passing reference at the beginning of the sponsor. It's got a great tutorial and is an excellent way for someone new to the genre to learn the basics of fighting games.

[@yearslate9349]

I truly love fighting games. Even as a total casual, I can experience the true joy of repeatedly doing walk-up dragon punches. The best part, of course, being the oh so visceral reaction they give in the very moment, and getting to do so repeatedly to them within a single round.

[@borecos6688]

Stumble upon your vid 6m after release and was astounishing. But, although your video was great, one thing stuck me the most... the "at my local portuguese arcade scene"! Such and enjoyment seeing a fellow Portuguese with such quality videos here. keep up!

[@Gallantsky]

Was thinking about buying street fighter six last night and was conflicted, taking this as a sign and picking it up tonight. Thanks Punkduck

[@okcool3922]

The problem is, for me, is that I’ll buy a fighting game I’m genuinely interested in, load up training mode and get a feel for things, and right before I queue for that first casual match, I freeze up because I’m too afraid to get humbled. For example, Street Fighter 6. I bought the game the day it was released, and I was really excited because it was my first SF game. I hyped myself for months prior because this would be the fg i would “finally play online”. I was even perfectly fine with the fact that there would be veteran, because I knew there would simultaneously be new players like myself. But on that day, after loading up the game, going through the tutorial, and gravitating towards Kimberly, I thought I was ready to give online a try. But nope, even after all the mental preparation I put myself through, I couldn’t do it. However, I hadn’t exactly given up just yet, as I thought, “Well, it is kinda late. Maybe a fresh start in the morning will give me the push i need to at least try”. But, as i feared, it didnt happen. So now, SF6 is yet another fighting game in my backlog that will almost certainly never get touched again because I’m too afraid to take that first step. I know this comment was long, but it’s because this video and others like it have helped me put into words why, despite loving the fg genre, I just can’t really get that much into them. I don’t really know if anyone else is in this same boat, but this is my personal reason for not giving these games the respect and time they deserve.

[@PunkDuck]

Yeah I totally get you, that's why I highly recommend playing against someone you know (preferably on the same skill level) instead of playing against random people online; I also tend to get in my head about my performance in ranked but when I play with friends we all dick around

[@sansthegreat]

Love the growth you had throughout the years brother. I first found you through your rage montage videos, and haven't stopped watching since. No matter what genre of videos you bake out, they're always top notch. Keep climbing the hill bro. Love ya.

[@thejfj]

Punkduck not mention rust challenge IMPOSSIBLE

[@Hyperion856]

0:53 thank you PunkDuck! very cool!

[@nelomalkevain4129]

8:00 Thanks Daigo, truly ispirational words

[@OliveEaters]

Dude I love your videos, I still remember the monster hunter video straight up teaching me ruiner nerg spikes shoot outside of the hand he lifts up and that was a game changer for me. And I'm currently trying to get into fighting games myself.

[@ditchfood8047]

I miss you, Punk Duck...why dont you come back and make a new video? Come on boy come back. Dragons Dogma 2 came out. You like Dragons Dogma, huh buddy? Yeah i know you do! Make a video about DD2! GO ON! GOOD BOY THATS A GOOD BOY! THERE YA GO!

[@BumboScumbo]

Finding out someone is into fighting games gives me the same feeling as falling in love. I LOVE THE FGC!

[@joeyharrah93]

After watching this I bought most of the popular fighting games for around 45 bucks. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Injustice 2 Legendary Edition, TEKKEN 7 - Definitive Edition, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate, SOULCALIBUR VI Deluxe Edition.

[@DreamDeab]

Please never stop making videos. I’ve laughed so much in this one vid then I have all week. You are amazing

[@ivanluna525]

That Maximiliam Dood reference got me chills

[@jjay2530]

Man, Punk Duck doesn't upload often, but when he does, it's always a BANGER

[@anomel2468]

I got into fighting games through Guilty Gear Strive and MAN, let me tell you, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing big numbers from YOUR own complex actions (and maybe some glue sniffing)

[@hepp5150]

Going on my twice a year punk duck binge just to see a new video :)

[@sameaswelll3567]

Bro its been so long in totally forgot about that xbalanque joke man. Thank go you still make videos man I wish you would upload more consistently, but I'm fine with these videos every once in a while since you put so much work into them. Thank you man !

[@scalpingsnake]

I have dabbled in fighting games. Absolver was probably my favourite, honestly I wish that game focused more on the singleplayer/coop, the PVP was fun but it needed more meat with the other stuff to last I think.

[@smorkverify]

8:00 is truly inspirational, thank you Daigo for giving us the advice we need to become as good of a fighting game player as you! ☺️

[@Bran_Flakes837]

My god the production value is through the roof! Good job!

[@guigaalmeidaful]

Man we have an arcade in my work. Our lunch breaks spent in this thing are absolutely worth it! Just to try any random fighting game and see each other improve by trial and error is awesome. I'm currently the best at KOF 2002 and I trash talk everyone

[@gwenfromfinance1450]

That intro tho. These are such high quality and the writing gets better every video

[@bloodaxe1010]

As a note, personally i found inputs to be a big barrier in stuff like Street Fighter. The inputs on Nether Realm fighters like Injustice and Mortal Kombat are a little easier with a controller. This might help someone decide their fighter.

[@alexandredias2010]

Youre goated, i still come back now and then to see your new and old videos Hope everythings fine and going well in your life man

[@MetAlexTHVK]

Anarchy Reigns Soundtrack mention. You get my Like and Subscribe.

[@Green-su1mo]

ive been playing alot of street fighter 6 lately and ive been getting really good. i never really thought that i could get into the since fighting game are so hard but it just made the learning of the the game so fun. also ranked is a blast! GREAT VIDEO !

[@abingus8509]

0:53 only OG punkduck viewers get the self-reference here

[@idontslideidrift9857]

bro i just recently got into fighting games and then you upload this, love it

[@andraszodon]

These vids be hitting way above your sub count weight class

[@deling_city]

god ur editing is so good

[@gaetanlebarbenchon1423]

Damn god you have a Fzero AX arcade machine it's a dream for me! 😱

[@Stormeyyy]

So you upload 2 videos a year and I just so happened to catch this video within the first hour of it being published? Hell yeah brother, I feel like I witnessed something special!

[@thesteamguy6171]

bro that intro with mir wiz and ninja dagger was fenomenal, almost subbed just for that.

[@maxthescarecrow4038]

"I'm telling you the wrong throw break on purpose" while King does his god damn rolling death cradle is just...mwah. Magical

[@legacy9453]

Watched your videos since I was a kid playing smite, now years later here I am watching I NEVER thought you were into Fighting games. MAKE MORE FGC CONTENT PLEASE!!!

[@AllstateManlove]

Punk duck knowing LTG and Chinger Changer is so fucking funny to me

[@avalanche4815]

Man I remember your SMITE videos, good to see you are still making videos, love your style of content.

[@ArkhosFGC]

Punk duck has been the most criminally underrated youtube channel of all time

[@TheRealCaptpounce]

This notification almost made me get in a rear end collision at 60 miles an hour. 10/10 masterpiece

[@lucyarisato6850]

4:12 FOOT DIVE-sorry, blacked out there for a second.

[@ElizaBungus]

I'd really like to recommend Power Rangers Battle for the Grid, a great game that, even without a huge playercount, is a really good introduction to Anime Fighters in general. It really helped me learn how to think about combos in games like marvel or Fighterz.

[@zombie_dinosaur96]

OMG THE WOOLIE VS BIG BAND CLIP SO GOOD!!!

[@alanchan9026]

So real the fact of playing a fighting game with a friend, I started playing SF6 with a friend and we spent like 10 hours just playing like crazy without even knowing wtf we were doing, stoping mid match to check out some things giving advices to each other and after like 200 matchs together we hop on ranked and it was way better than I expected, currently platinum on SF6 after only 3 months of playing

[@maccaebus]

I have played many a fighting game, and I ended up finding myself playing DOA the most because I like its mechanics the best. I enjoy the lower value placed on combos and the larger emphasis on consistently outplaying your opponent over the course of a match by punishing whiffs and by using good counters. Not that I can ever bring up the game without people hitting me with the "HHHUUUUUHHH? THE TIDDY FIGHTER?" Not that it doesn't deserve that reputation, I just wish people were able to acknowledge that it's *also* a genuinely good fighting game.

[@sporeea3]

The music used, the editing, the script. You're alot cooler than I thought mr Gay Duck

[@theeliblog4559]

Glad to see you well and healing and still continuing to make content despite it all. It’s not easy to escape an abusive relationship and I am proud you’ve made it this far.

[@strikeforce1500]

As someone whose only fighting game experience is Smash Bros and For Honor. I have a personal fear of meeting those godlike players that do a 100% to 0% combo, because I missed a single input 20 minutes ago. With that said. Fighting Videogames soundtracks are *chef kiss*

[@Yhdyssanakoe]

Fighting games have somehow crept up to my conscious as of late and this made me take the plunge. Thank you PUNKDUCK!

[@StephGoKrazy]

I’ve been playing fighting games for about 10 years now so I didn’t need any convincing but this was a great video.

[@dataecto6135]

this was a very good guide in getting into fighting games, although its funny to me because I essentially did the opposite of everything in here (I love going out on Rank Mode since Day 1, I study up on Combo Trials and read the silly long ass tutorials) with an added dash of my passion for the genre making me seek out more resources online (like this video 💖) that get me hyped up on this genre and/or help me further understand how to play. It really goes to show how each person's path is super different, but we all have that drive to play and get better at these cool ass games. Love the perspective here!! sorry about your uncle

[@slopfrop3433]

No WAY the ninja dagger clip is in the sponser part of the vid. Can't believe I didn't see this when it came out, but lovin the content

[@blickman5090]

That intro was tuff.

[@donniedoom6130]

Have always been pretty ok at fighting games, was looking for a vid to see if I could understand comboing better, this vid was word for word what I searched up, took me by complete surprise that this was instead a hilarious video essay type video. The 3rd strike intro with notable FGC members, maxmillion dood’s outro, and smash joke, even the sponsored ad was funny all of it was great

[@jddesmore]

My Fav youtube making a video on my Fav genre. What a Bday gift

[@EatinPaste]

Christ. I haven't heard Divekick in years. What a blast from the past.

I appreciate the video, but there's no way I'm going back to playing fighting games. For me, it was like putting my dick in a meat grinder and churning it, expecting it to be fun. Spoiler alert, IT'S NOT!!! I used to love playing them, but when literally all online matches are sweat fest, I couldn't stand putting up with it anymore. I'm at the point now in my life where multiplayer games are dog shit to me, and single-player games are God blessings to us gamers. I love your content and appreciate your hard work with your videos nonetheless ❤️!! Fucking hell do I miss your content!!!

[@CorockDragneel]

Whenever I play a fighter with my friends they always ask "Are you playing with your Fightstick? " and when I say "Yeah" they all collectively dawg on me

[@Stingos]

Dude, that intro was incredible. I couldn't breathe.

[@zioziozie]

Come back to check this channel. First time i watching your video in 7 years ago. Glad to see you keep making content.

[@spiffythealien]

Another rare fighting game video that actually acknowledges the existence of Soulcalibur. A+

[@ezekielbautista9476]

Glad your back 🎉

[@NexusDerp]

Glad to see a notification from this channel again!! Just like old times watching a punk duck video and wheezing the whole way through

[@cougarhomar9162]

Great work you clearly got the pure spirit of fighting games in this video

[@loafuscromwell3793]

Me and my family have been play tekken for years, to the point its practically our family sport. Everyone has a main and we use in house tournaments for arguments sometimes.

[@TalesDelma]

6:32 that killed me, thank you very much no to be honest, the only thing still keeping me away from hitting that "play online match" button, is the mentality i have that if i lose the entire world mocks me

[@ProfessionalCrayonConsumer]

This video made me take the plunge and now with over 20 hours inside skullgirls, I can't wait for 2xko

[@bradleyhicks7252]

Punk Duck uploaded a video? And it's another banger? Perfect! See you next year, bros!

[@krazykashews4091]

I love this guy so much, pops up twice a year with a banger vid and makes me hyped for whatever he's playing. Sidenote, the SF6 recommendation slapped, and super smash bros is a real fighting game 😢😢

God that Big Band clip killed me! Can't believe that is something you can do in the game!

[@djs.i.n3378]

Dam must be a lunar eclipse if punk is uploading

[@WantSomeWhiskey818]

I will also add if going on Rank isnt your thing (i dont blame you), there are dozens and dozens of wonderful discord communities out there if people want more of a community experience and meet people within the scene that can help you learn. With more and more fighting games having crossplay too it means that getting hardware locked is becoming less of an issue if you pick a modern game, especially with SF6 you can hop into a lobby with people playing on all different consoles and play together.

[@tuipulotulavaka1757]

Timely video for me, I’ve stumbled back into them after years away. No I mean years, like snes days. Then my kid (19) walks in with the newest mortal kombat and injustice 2….and street fighter and dragon ball z….(steam sales amirite) now I’m like….holy shit these are awesome what else have I missed.

2:11 THIS WHOLE BIT AGED *VERY* WELL!

[@Weebfox]

I love this video. It's just great fun and the top notch quality Punk Duck delivers, and I feel like even if I wasnt a huge FGC head this video lowkey would be a great way for someone to get into the genre. Evo is this weekend, and that is another great way to get into the FGC, yall thinking of it should definitely check it out if you have the chance! Thanks for the video!
