Alexx196 Z Yeah me too , I’ve never played a fighting game tbh. I have only mastered the first person shooter. I picked Street Fighter as a fuck around game thinking it’s just easy to win rounds with random button mashing. I died around 15 times even when I thought I was going to kick my opponents ass , I am on the brink of rage quitting because I wanted this to be a quick easy game that isn’t too challenging. I didn’t know that it would be complex af like that. It’s fun regardless but sucks when you loose.
@DewGetRekt I've been playing shooters since '98... Street Fighter and practically every other fighter is far more complex and has more depth than every shooter I've ever played with the exception of the Quake franchise which is basically a fighter in shooter form.
Dude, I'm not familiar with your channel, but this was exactly what I wanted: A guide to help me start playing Street Fighter V. You see, I'm from the MK series, but I really wanted to play Street Fighter. I know i'm a little bit late, but I still want to enjoy the game. Thx for helping me out
While I'm not a beginner, I still want to give this a watch to see if I can either show it to other people, or if they can't watch it for whatever reason, to pass on the knowledge the way the teacher puts it.
Dude! You're the first "Beginners' Guide" that i found that is TRULY aimed at beginners. Plus you're an amazing teacher that eases in more complex stuff slowly and clearly... Usually, those kind of videos are mostly like: "To play Ryu, it's super easy, you just need, to super EX dash cancel into Shoryuken and combo from double EX V-Trigger critical art crouch cancel to Forword dash forward Shinku Hadouken"... To which i respond.... "huh... Qu'est-ce que c'est?!?!?" :O
wow for years i have been trying to get into street fighter but now i am commited to getting good and i have sat in training room for about 2 hours and still having gotten the hadouken consistent but I am going to play until I get it
This 30 minute video has taught me WAY more than half of the beginner videos on RU-vid! I bought this game last week and found this EXTREMELY helpful as I am painfully new! I love the way this game plays and its not confusing like MvC3 or DBFZ. I think having 1 character is better than having 3 with assists and tag ins. Thank you SO SO much for this vid Goo! You rock. Subbed! 🙏
Can't express how much this whole video made sense to me. I walked away feeling like I finally have a general understanding of how the game works on a basic level. I was trying to find other beginner videos but they didn't really explain it how you did for someone who's a novice. I put some time into SF4 almost 10 years ago but I pretty much forgot most of what I learned and was trying to find something to get me ready for when 6 comes out
The exercise of intentionally pressing the punch too late on the fireball really helped me avoid pressing it too early, just like you said. Thanks Gootecks!
Gootecks, you are a brilliant author. You really need to start making paperback or hardback copies of the street fighter guide! The techniques i've learnt from the electronic version works like a charm. I am sure they will sell well in the UK like hot cakes!
I have some friends who play other games who just can't get into SF because it used to not flow as much as other games. SFV is way smoother and hopefully they give it a shot. Will give them this video for sure to get then started
grandCurator I've tried to do this a lot and a lot of people get sick of playing at quick because pretty much any other game you can be competitive and beat the game after you play it for like a day and a half or even 5 or 6 days good enough to hang orbit the game. That's not the case with this game and if they made it that way it would be hard not alienate all the people that love playing at competitively. It's hard to make something in the middle but I think they've done a pretty good job here. It's just that a lot of people that play just whatever is the best seller want to be challenged a little bit but if they get challenged too much like it takes them more than a day to figure out a combo then it's just ridiculous and they give up
Said it before...but...Gooteks really has a gift in teaching Street Fighter. It really shows how much love for the game he delivers in his teaching, and opens this game for newcomers....because...he really cares.
I just got sf5 and a fight stick to play with friends and have never touched a fighting game for more than 5 minutes. this is so useful since I was trying to just charge headfirst and "get good". there is so much on this video alone I probably would of never picked up.
To the ones that are trying the MP > c.MP > Fireball, Negative Edge should help. Hold the MP press from c.MP, do the motion and release the button. The fireball comes out.
This is what i need. Reddit is awesome but not for beginners. But this kind of content is MANDATORY to not miss steps during the learning process. Thank you dood. One more subscriber.
I just started playing street fighter a few days ago...brand new to the series but I've alwayssss wanted to play. Dont apologize for this video.....it helped alot.
I've been playing Street Fighter for years with a controller, and I feel like I'm starting over completely now that I'm using a stick. Its a little discouraging but I'm determined to master the stick.
I had to take like a year or so break from fighting games and I'm glad I came back and you're doing tutorials for the new games. I still remember you hanging out in our room at final round the year that Street Fighter 4 came out and you and Mike were hanging together. Had a blast hanging out with you guys. I remember one of you having one of those little dedicated video recorders that's pretty much what a smartphone is now LOL. But I remember your Street Fighter 3 players the Street Fighter 4 guide and you did a good job with that so it's nice to see you doing the same thing with this one
It's like i was sleeping during 3 or 4 months ... But i wanna say thank you Gootecks to put your knowledge in your videos. Really helpfull one. I'm not a true beginner but I think I was not training the good way to rank up in SFV. Now I'm comming ;) French fan here !
that's the tutorial that I was looking for . I'm a real beginner I always gave up on this type of game but now I want to get it for real and your tutorials is a real help . Thank you
holy SHIT, this helps so much. I've only ever played smash but wanna get into SFV, so this is a GODSEND. You are a great teacher, and I'm def gonna watch this whole series
While this video isn't specifically for me. I love that you're making a tutorial that's easily digestible. I tried to get into Tekken 6 years back and none of it was easy to comprehend. You've done a great job presenting this in a way that's easy to understand. Though I did notice you kind of glazed over what the Axe Kick and Hurricane kick were used for.
Thanks :D I've played the whole saga but never went into it with a competitive perspective. SFV will be my first serious and this guide is already helping :)
Dr. Mike wood I feel like it’s too complex for a fighting game. Fighting games don’t hold much value in the first place in my heart since I care about the amount of content I get for my money. This game is another level of ridiculous for noobs. It’s impossible to win rounds against even other noobs. I am a master of first person shooter games but this fighting game genre is certainly getting on my nerves. Just wish they would keep things simple rather then making shit complicated, because the learning curve is stressfully stretched out if that’s the case making people abandon the game.
Thank you for doing this! I loved watching Street Fighter 4 streams and events and now that SFV is out I am excited to actually start playing fighting games. I'm going to need all the help I can get, so I really appreciate content like this. Keep up the great work!
My biggest frustration with tutorials is the people making them say to use Ryu but then none of them use Ryu in a match so we don't get to see the theory put into practice. IMO the best thing you can do to help out new people Gootecks is to have you and some of your guests use Ryu in high level play on your Excellent Adventures episodes. Here's the problem. EVERYONE says to learn the game to use Ryu yet NO ONE at high levels uses him. Trying to find decent mid to high level play with Ryu is practically impossible because of that. It would be nice to see people like you and Combofiend use this character so those who are learning can see some of the theory you are presenting put into action. It'll also be nice to see how to use Ryu to handle various real world situations (like when someone is applying a ton of pressure and you aren't sure which buttons to use to get out of it).
Really interested in this game and you broke it down very well mechanically. I think that fighting games are some of the most intimidating games out there and it is nice to see someone make a video for those of us who may not be innate dueling machines! Great stuff!
Great, very comprehensive video. Haven't played sf since I was a kid in the early nineties arcades during the summers. I just got an arcade stick for my birthday and immediately I thought sf. Great to get back into it specially seeing the pov of the way you grab the stick and how you use it. Thanks so much for the tips. Now off to defense!
Excellent video, Gootecks! Thanks so much for making SFV easier for me to understand and begin playing (for real, not just spamming specials). The game makes more sense now and I feel that I'm finally starting to understand SFV after a couple frustrating days of trying to learn everything through looking at the combo inputs screen. I'll have to invest in a fightstick when more become available.
This is an awesome guide. Im not actually a SUPER beginner (Played tekken for over 10 yrs, sf about 2months maximum). I know a bunch about the game but im still at a dilemma at normals tho. When to throw them and when is it safe to throw it. Thanks for this man its awesome.
I have watched a few videos of yours and I really like your explanations and teaching methods. I also took the time to read your Preparing for sf5 book on kindle unlimited. All I'm saying is: Thanks a lot for giving everyone your experience. Awesome guy, for real :)
Very informative. I play Fighting games like MK and GG at Intermediate level and just got into SF 5. I know the basics and your video helps me learn more about them, as well as the transition into the SF series. Can't wait for more of your series.
Thanks so much man. I'm a complete beginner to fighting games (other than Smash Bros, which is fairly different of course). Your guides are extremely helpful.
Cheers for the video. This is exactly what I was looking for - I'll admit I'm a total newcomer to post-SF2 Streetfighters and after I bought SFV I discovered that it assumes a bit too much of me: I'd no idea about any of the stuff like V Triggers, V Skills, EX moves... so I need something that drags it right back to proper basics, and this is excellent for that. The only thing I do have is Hadoken/Shoryuken/etc. muscle-memory from twenty plus years ago on my SNES(when I was...nine? Jesus.), which is useful of course, but everything since then has passed me by. I'm sure I'm not the only one in a similar position either. There are a few issues I've always faced with SF though and I was wondering if anyone else has the same issues, or has found a way around them...maybe someone can help? - Always found it much harder to pull of specials when facing left, simply because when I learnt them I did it facing right, in single-player SF2. A left-facing Hadoken/Shoryuken is much harder for me than a right-facing one. - Special moves like strong Hadoken, that involve pressing strong punch((L1), are much harder than any other specials: I think this is because the same hand is performing all of the inputs whereas if it's a medium Hadoken I'm using two hands(ie. the left-hand thumb for D-pad/stick, and the right hand thumb for medium punch) to perform inputs. The latter is, for me, much less difficult. In the past I used to map strong punch to the 'triangle button'(X on the SNES), map medium punch to 'L1'(L on the SNES), and just ignore medium punch altogether. Can't really do that on SFV. Anybody else had the same issues(and thought of a way around them preferably)? Besides all that I just wanted to say well done on a top video. Good stuff.
thanks :) I learned so much in the timing of the combos in the end part of your video by looking at your hand in the fightstick..now I know how to do combos..most videos on YT are not showing how they using there hand to the fightstick in the camera, its just legends like mp,qcf,etc..which is also good, but the timing is the most important part,.I hope you upload more videos regarding that..thanks again :)
I'm pretty new to the Street Fighter series and fighting games in general but I bought SFV and have been playing it for a bit now and played a few online matches. One thing I can say is that Street Fighter is not nearly as combo oriented as say the Marvel vs Capcom series or Dragon Ball FighterZ. It's a lot more about poking your opponents by mixing up low and high attacks and generally trying to be unpredictable in your movements while trying to predict their movements. It's almost like a game of chess. Now there are combos that you will have to master so that you can get the most damage out of punishing or successfully opening the opponent up but most combos you get are no more then 11 to 13 hits usually unlike MvC which has the most basic beginner combo being 8 to 10 hits while most pro combos are 20 to 30+ hits. This game is very neutral based and not purely about landing 40 hit combos but more about chipping your opponents health down slowly while keeping yourself safe. From one new player to another my advice is just practice some basic combos but really focus on throwing out highs and lows to open your opponent up or at least to get some damage on them while keeping it safe.
I’m thankful for this video man. I’m literally doing it while I’m watching. U should do a video when SF6 comes out man it would be awesome. U definitely got my support 😀
Awesome! I am beginner ! My friend envited me to play this weekend! He kicked my ass off hehehe of course! He plays it for a long time now! This tutorial helps a lot! Cheers!
Thanks goo! even as someone whos been playing since SF2 in 3rd grade lol I found lots of fun interesting content here. Would love a Ken 101 advanced teq video :) tyvm keep it up
I'm new to SFV and I'm trying to hit the j. HK, st. MP, cr. HP xx LK Tatsu combo but I can't figure out the timing of linking the MP to the crouching HP. I've been trying it for the past 30 minutes in training mode but I can't seem to figure it out.
If anyone is wondering why throws were considered kinda cheap back in the day it was for 2 reasons. 1. They couldn't be tech'd 2. You could be thrown while in block stun. A really cheap tactic was to hit your opponent with a single crouching LK and when they blocked it walk up to them and throw them while they were still in block stun. Rinse/Repeat to victory. It was a completely skillless tactic that worked 95% of the time which is why it was considered "cheap".
