Street Fighter 6 is my first traditional fighter game ive ever actually wanted to play and i want to get good enough to enter tournements. i will be watching these to learn
Its simply amazing how well those old sonic hurricane writings have held up after all these years. Thats the beauty of fighting games how after all these years the core fundamentals of street fighter have changed so little over time
Playing a wide variety of 2d fighters will make you such a better player overall. You will definitely learn concepts in this game that you can bring back to your anime games also. Get striving to reach your full potential brother
I started to learn the techs in FGs in 2017 on SF5. Luckly, a friend of mine really early on teached me these concepts and the game evolved right before my eyes. You start to appreciate the neutral game so much. It's a fence match, so cool
So I know you are technically following a script/guide here, but i gotta say your videos are such a delightful style of free flow, yet informative and engaging that it really makes you stand out to me. Great job on these last few vids, hope they keep coming for a while!
I am glad I found this video. I never knew what neutral or footsies really was or looked like until I faced a masters player in battlehub while being a low rank player. He basically destroyed me just by being patient and punishing my normals that I was randomly throwing out. He didn't rely on specials, DIs or DR cancels. This really opened up my eyes on what I need to work on once I get past the gimmicks and learning some frame data.
hey I just started watching your content. SF6 is my first Street Fighter and basically my first ever "real" fighting game (I played lots of Smash but yk) and I just wanna say thank you so much for making these and translating the footsies handbook directly into SF6. your explanations are very clear and concise! I play (modern) Cammy and I'm trying to integrate this into my gameplay :D
No problem! Glad the vids are helping. Also, Smash fundies are super hard to get good at as well, don't let them try to convince you it's not a "real" fighting game 😏
Thank you so much! Great explanation, very helpful for all the beginners (myself included) that are new to street fighter who are picking up SF6. Can’t wait for part 2!
Thank you so much Mikey. I just stumbled on this video on my feed and watched, it changed everything. I hit Master the first day after implementing. A better neutral was holding me back the whole time. I thought i wasn't using the drive system properly was holding me back. All i needed was a solid understanding of chapter1-4 to complete my style. Thanks again
Fantastic explanation and examples of good footsies! It's very cool that you're doing a guided video breakdown of such oldschool essential material to learning neutral in Street Fighter. Neutral is all mind games, it's not the same game as escaping pressure, or hitting your fat combos off hit confirms. It's all about conditioning your opponent, and it's a very complex concept, that's much harder to just practice in the lab. You gotta get a sparring partner, go online or go to locals.
Thank your bringing more awareness on such an overlooked part of street fighter. People tend to focus so much on flashy combos and gimmicks but the heart and soul of street fighter has always and will always be about learning solid fundamentals and a deep understanding of the neutral
i just started playing this game online and there's a lot to get used to, from character specific things to general mechanics, but this seems to be a good way to keep things simple and effective to focus on, and then develop from that. keep these coming please!!
Nice! To be honest I'd focus on the little things first like just learning your character and what other characters are doing, the game mechanics etc. But once you're comfortable with the game, these are definitely the things you will want to focus on. Hope you enjoy your time with SF. Super fun game and it's very satisfying to improve in
This is really well explained! I've been playing these games since we stumbled across the newly released SF2 at a service station, and I have learned SO much in the last 12 minutes! Please keep making them! Also, really loving the throwback references to where these strategies evolved from.... Who knew!?
Great video, looking forward to part two. I've known about footsies since I really started to pay attention to the FGC back in the early SF4 days. But actually understanding it and implementing it into my game never really happened, mostly because I haven't played enough. I'm playing a ton of Street Fighter 6 and specifically with Cammy so this is perfect for me. Keep up the good work.
I watched this video when it came out and didn't understand anything. I was Bronze with Classic Cammy. Two weeks later I am Gold with Modern Luke and rewatching the video. Very clear explanations, thank you Mikey. I'm subscribed for the future chapters!
something im trying to do is ask myself why i am doing something. i would always just press buttons in neutral because thats all it looks like ppl do on the surface. but in reality it's for what you've explained here. i'll be trying to incorporate these things into my gameplay.
You explain all of this so well! This really illustrates how much of a rift there is between players like myself and higher level players simply based on the amount of critical analysis they can do about their opponent and what they are thinking. Thanks for helping us take these steps to become stronger fighting game players!
ahaha I watched the clip of the SF2 Guile and Ken clip before you played it in your vid, and was wondering why Ken was DPing so much. 5 Seconds later you answered the question! Amazing video, thanks for the content.
Haha, one of the reason I wanted to make this video series! So many good clips from old games but they aren't easy to understand if SF5/6 are your first entries.
Great guide thanks a lot, I think it's worth to mention to people to be careful if they drive parry because the opponent is pushed back less by the hit
Got you a like and subscription. Fought a Plat Ryu and he was moving back n forth like mad. I be trying to whiff punish too but his movement seemed with intent and patience. So here I am lol
Haha, no matter how good you get at the fundamentals, there will always be people who feel hard to get a read on or lock down. But the more you know the more likely you'll have an answer to try on them haha. Hope the vids help out!
You know what this video made me search but couldn't find? A video on the most common pokes of all the characters. I know it can be compiled from stuff I have in different playlists, but a 5 minute video would work wonders.
Dude thank you a lot really , I play Cammy on Modern Control not otimal but i enjoy a lot because she is cool and this video help me a lot for the moment i saw this video i understand about not need to rush thing play calm and neutra and wait for the my turn, still hard to now when my turn but out of 10 try 6 works
This is my first street fighter and I’m not a familiar with fighting games and the strategies. I’m really fascinated with how much depth there is to playing these games and I’m excited to learn more. Thanks for the video!
Boomer here.. In the HF clip you showed, the Ken player isn’t using the DP as a poke, he’s trying to punish Guile’s cr. forward. But there’s no cr forward you say… You’ve not seen the whole set- that was the second match in the set and in the first match, Mike ‘conditioned’ the Ken player by throwing out the cr forward a lot and then totally switched his play in the second match.
new fighting game player here. footsies/neutral game is probably the only thing i'd say i'm decent at. basically just being patient... now EVERYTHING else? i'm hella trash at lol. great video tho.
this helped allot the 2 thing helped allot tbh i play manon and use standing heavy kick spacing it out then they do a fierce or try to punish then it whiffs so i can combo then i use standing heavy kick and dash in to grab to a 50/50
I really appreciate your content. I went through that footsies guide over a decade ago when I was trying to master sf4, after dabbling at a pretty low level in third strike. I know you were trying to be funny, and didn’t mean anything by it, but I didn’t like the “boomer games” comment at 0:56. I’m assuming you know that word has become a derogatory slang term for older generations that are completely out of touch with the needs of younger generations and the sadly common narrow-mindedness we see from the baby boomers. The games shown in that guide were shown because those games were the platform where a lot of those concepts were discovered and developed. I really hope the FGC isn’t shifting into becoming an agist space where older gamers who fell in love with street fighter two in the mid 90s and created the competitive scene are shunned as not belonging or having the physical ability to compete. Fighting games are for everyone. Evo showed us that even a blind person can compete in these games. Kindly asking we stay away from disrespectful terms like that when it comes to certain areas of fighting game history.
I've always been bad at fighting games but I bought sf6. I got to iron today after learning a couple very basic combos, I'll practice my parrying and this hopefully hit bronze :D
I've played almost main FG that's come out side SF4, literally every single one of them people complain about a mechanics that makes the game braindead or ruins neutral, but the same top players with good fundies continue to win in all of them.
@@MikeyDLuffy the top players are abusing out of the DR and the specials that ALL characters have to skip neutral, if you pay attention, 30 seconds after the match started, you will notice that they usually are in burnout, because they abused of DR. Definately at this point, the game need a fix over the DR mechanic and over the ranked system, I see a lot of player that was gold/plat in SF5 and now they are MASTER.
