Trying to GET GOOD at Street Fighter V? | Beginners Guide

[@mangotar0]

I'm just getting myself into fighting games, starting with SF5. Although I'm very late since SF6 is only months till release, atleast learning SF5 will prepare me for SF6. I'll definitely try how you approached the game. I think it's a really good learning process for beginners. Your video is really well made! Thanks for your effort, much appreciated!

[@remy8674]

OMG BRO SAME

[@cosmicslime1496]

You can keep playing SF5 even after 6 comes out. People still play older fighting games. Old games even get new players all the time! The other day I played a 20 year old game and there were a bunch of beginners like me. Even though the population in older games will be much much smaller, you still only need one other person to play a fighting game :)

[@Morty90152]

Which version did you get

[@hiddenalien]

I got it to play until sf6 goes on sale maybe after a year or two after it gets released. I’m also super new to fighting games.

[@solidarity9371]

Same here. Playing as Guile right cuz my dad taught me some cool moves. Never thought Guile is so fun to play.

[@maymapmaygiongconheo6870]

wow i cant believe how underrated this video is. definitely deserves more love

[@Hadokane]

Aww thanks dude! Very appreciated 🙏

[@JoNNyCLOUD171]

How so? The video is more a spectacle or emotional movie than an actual guide. There is very little to learn. Nobody wants to hear, go to training mode or practice or go to another streamer or watch a pro. It's not constructive. What people NEED to hear is stuff like, your mediums are your bread and butter and can be spammed but don't rely on it too heavily. Or reasonable punishes for your level and practice them over and over. What is and isn't safe. Block strings and why they matter. How to open up overly defensive players with your character. How to put an end to jump heavy spam Ken and Ryus at low level because that is mostly what you will see and they will never climb but gatekeep you until you learn to deal with it. It's not personal it's just not a great video for the title. Had it have been "my 4 week journey" then it would be fine and I wouldn't have wasted 20 minutes by not clicking on it. But as it stands I learned nothing. The first 1300 LP are absolutely terrible players and if you can anti air, tech throw PROPERLY, do somewhat optimal punishes and not throw out unsafe stuff all the time you will comfortably sit at 1300 with every character. But that's isn't where you want to be. Pushing to high ranks is the only way to truly improve and nothing in this video portrays or directs you towards competence. Nothing offensive it's just factual. I'm glad this guy completed his goals but for me as a viewer I got shafted from my KZbin search.

[@reelita]

@@JoNNyCLOUD171 okay but you gotta admit this video is super entertaining

[@the_doskias]

"get decent at fighting games" is my most recent ADHD inspired hyperfixation, so I've been watching A LOT of videos on the topic, and I feel like this is the first one I've found that speaks in a language I understand. Really appreciate the work that went into this.

[@zahid1687]

Man this video is exactly what I’ve been looking for and gave me the guts to actually try, thank you.

[@jayvman1311]

Bruh I know how this feels, I got a friend that's really into fighting games and I've been trying to get into more fighting games (street fighter and darkstalkers specifically) and it's pretty tough to get into. Especially when my mate keeps wanting to play Street Fighter 3 3rd strike (pretty gun tbf). I definatly need to get into them more. Great stuff man!!!!

[@Hadokane]

Thanks dude! Yeah it's been an issue for me for years. Always wanted to get into them properly and move beyond just knowing how to do a single move! Hope the vid helps you out my dude, was the hardest I've worked on one up till now 😅 Third strike can be brutal, just watch the Daigo Parry video and use that as motivation!

[@ADreamingTraveler]

This guide was really good. I feel like it doesn't overwhelm people and makes it approachable. I think the best word of advice is to make sure you're having fun and the more amount of time you put into it the better you'll get. It's just not always noticeable that you're getting better until you look back at your progress from weeks ago. Any amount of time spent in the game is you getting better overall

[@l0lhei541]

Fantastic comment! It's about the journey, not the destination. Do not give yourselves impossible or far too difficult goals... Go small. Learn a combo properly first, from both left side and right side. Learn to punish whiffs and mistakes. Learn to defend yourself better. Learn to move better. Then.. Set a goal of "I will reach a decent beginner rank online" and work towards it while repeating the other lessons during downtime. Watch your own fight replays to pin-point your mistakes or bad habits and work on removing them or lessening them. Again, this journey is as long as you want, as interesting and as fun as you want it to be. It is yours. If frustration or salt levels exceed human levels? Do something else for a bit. Go into training and practice combos or something else you enjoy. Watch a movie. Or do what I do, hit the gym or go for a jog. Leave the game be, collect yourself and then try again. Your online ranking or tier is not your worth as a player or human being. Remember that.

[@bigbeanburritoboy8754]

This is the most helpful video I've seen for sf5. Will be following it so I can prepare of sf6, thanks alot dude!

[@benjaminhillware1293]

Just shared this with some of my friends who are getting into SFV! This video is so well made and I even started doing the drills you recommended! Thanks man!

[@BOSSMAN1283]

I’m watching this 2023 march and this video is extremely well made hopefully you’ll be back on KZbin

[@PowerL1N3]

This has motivated me to tackle fighting games again this time with a fighting stick and man oh man am i scared and excited at the same damn time!

[@serialboon6083]

Thanks for this man! I never played street fighter. At 31 years old i just decided to buy ultra 4 and 5 champion edition. It's so different to something like MK which I've always played just for the lore, and casually.

[@Hadokane]

@@serialboon6083 Really appreciate this comment! Hope you enjoy 😄

[@TheGeorgespider12]

i am so glad i found this video it is the best beginner guide out there on top of being a fun video to watch, and the playlist you made is super super helpful

[@Hadokane]

Really glad to hear that Spider Merchant! I had a real pain myself trying to learn how to play which pushed me to put all this together. Happy to help & best of luck learning :)

[@LonetheGhost]

this is exactly the type of video i was lookin for and it's 2 years old. this is quality.

[@selagrabs1369]

Leeeeeets Gooooo Cool Inspirational Video for an Old Arcade Lover Thank you greetings from Switzerland

[@paultapping9510]

now that sf6 has released it's the perfect time to get into sf5!

[@2Good2BeTrue45]

Honestly seeing him lose in the finals was a gut punch, I was really cheering him on to get past his nerves and to pull out the win😢 setbacks and losses always hurt like hell and can be so demoralizing but it is true that it's always gonna be part of life and that one day, that hard worm is gonna pay off and that we will be a force to be reckoned with. First fighting game video I truly appreciated, even though I personally don't believe in getting the fight stick and want to master these fighting games with a controller

[@anthonyriley6009]

Wow!!! What an amazing video the story the production u really put something together beautiful I was jus looking to get a lil better a street fight but I got that an a whole lot more with this video much thank yous sir INCREDIBLE!!

[@Hadokane]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that 😄

[@FooliestCooly]

Remember watching this video a month ago and scroll through KZbin for hours to find it again

[@Hadokane]

I really appreciate that! Annoyingly because I'm not a partner yet unless I pay money youtube just hides my content.

Well done and motivational. Guess I better really learn R. Mika a little better now.

[@Hadokane]

Thanks dude. R. Mika's super fun, the command grab looks lethal! You got this!

[@Transcona]

This is a very good video. I went on the same journey 5 years ago when i started sf5. I managed to get to super gold then i stopped playing. Now sf6 is coming out, i figure i should go back and learn the game again.

[@msfkmsfk]

good video not as technical as I expected but I really appreciate hearing about your experience with the game.

[@GnawedOffShotgun]

nice montage

[@CleafKnowsVLOGS_nl]

Bro the linkin park part took me out 😂 great video! 🔥

[@theedwardian]

I really like the thumbnail, I always wanted to make a MUGEN game with every Capcom and SNK shoto in it- Only shotos. But there's sadly no 2D sprites for Allen and Kairi from the EX series, so I'd have to make them from scratch.

[@silverbullet1979]

Thank U so much for this video, I truly learned a lot and certain to take your advice.. Thanks again... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@PinupSticknerd]

Week 2 ✊

[@k-o-d-ekingofdaeast2114]

Good video 😊. I'm ol school and played street fighter since the first one. I love street fighter 5 but since it's so much going on it's hard for me to get good at the game. I really would like to become an expert but the moves and muscle memory is extreme. But your video definitely makes me want to practice a lot more. Very nice video 👍🙂

[@tuckerbeall_9849]

thank you for this.

[@jamesportee1102]

Once you learn one fighting game well, you can take those concepts (frames, pressure, neutral, ect) to other games and just learn how it applies to that game, just like the skills youll have in an FPS will transfer to most others. If your just getting into fighters, itll be hard and frustrating at first but once you get the train rolling, you wont want to stop.

[@tuckman315]

Thanks a lot I really appreciate the video I’ve been really wanting to get into fighting games but just didn’t know how to start

[@sparkybig9799]

That’s because you’re a nerd

[@ADreamingTraveler]

Oh god seeing Gooteks mentioned right before his decent into madness hurts :(

[@thetreetho2702]

I genuinely can’t tell of how I started street fighter was weird. I started with Balrog and pretty much never played shotos

[@wubranch1]

Just got into 5 in December, got decent on pad, but bought an Ettoki stick two days ago. My goal is to go to Evo Japan in April, we’ll see.

[@muratkaraaslan7432]

I main Mika, I just sniff glue and hit that SEARCH RANKED button hehehe

[@MatosandFrancisProd]

It's moves that require that Z movement of the analog stick that act as a wall for me, does anyone have advice for inputs for these moves?

[@Cold19]

Try holding the stick forward and inputing the quartercircle forward without puting the stick in neutral. Or try holding forward, circling down and then down+forward. See which works for you.

[@iamthereinforcements1972]

Against Ryu players: Just defend a lot and then attack a bit and denfend a lot and attack a bit more. Just keep repeating that and you should catch on on how to fight Ryu. If he starts Rushing you, then rush back and bait moves to punish him.

[@judethedude9542]

Great video! I just inherited a PS4 from my son. I was playing Street Fighter when it first hit the arcade with the huge punch and kick buttons. So, I'm old school. LOL I'm just starting out on SF5. My control with the PS4 controller is not great. Any recommendations on a fight stick controller box that is not crazy expensive?

[@KrowTheBlackBird]

Best advice... make friends. Go to local tourneys if any. And don't spend longer than 2 hours in training mode daily. You'll have more fun being part of a community even if it's only just 3 of you playing. You share knowledge and growth. Losing isn't as stressful when there nothing but a good match on the line. Like... all of that. Just have fun and make friends and be competitive.
