Under Night In-Birth: A Complete Beginner's Guide [UNICLR & UNI2] 

I'm only 2 minutes in and THANK YOU. You can find beginner content out there on some of the biggest games, but just finding a newb-friendly primer on this one has been rough.

Been playing fighting games for a couple of years and undernight is one of my favorites. You've done a great job explaining the fundamentals, absolutely amazing work. Keep it up

Dude, this is straight up the most useful tutorial on anything that I’ve ever watched! I’m not a complete noob as I’ve played a couple hundred hours of Tekken in my life (starting at Tekken 3) but I could never really get into these anime 2d fighters as they just seem too overwhelming with all the different game systems, gauges and long complicated combos. This video has really helped me make sense of it all and see that underneath all the fancy fluff it’s really just the same fundamentals. Thanks!

ngl, I've heard "bread and butter combo" so much for so long and really never knew wtf they meant. I just thought it was supposed to a good combo and never understood that it needed to be RELIABLE for *ME*!!!

Liked as soon as I realized you were an Eltnum main. She’s so cool that even Akatsuki’s -absurdly confused by- afraid of her.

Noob is never derogatory. Everyone is a noob at the beginning. As long as you learn, you will stop being a noob and become intermediate, anyway. So do learn, because if you don't, you will also stop being a noob, but you will become a scrub. And that word of course is properly dereogatory.

I just found this interesting I'm not really a beginner but I did start 3 months ago but now I have 360+ hours and I just play Seth. He's right about what ever character speaks to you go for. At first I came from Street fighter and played Shotos so I tried to play Linne and while she was kinda fun and easy to play I didn't get that much satisfaction and always saw my self hovering Seth but scared to learn. I took the time and effort and when I thought it was impossible to learn after just labbing and asking uni discord in the Seth section for advice I can confidently say.. No matter how difficult a character is for you to learn do not give up. Set small goals even breaking down your bnbs and its gonna take time if you wanna play people like Yuzuriha, Seth, Vatista, Carmine. Those might take way longer to learn but well worth it. Even if you decide to choose any others you will need to spend a significant amount of time in the lab to do any bnbs consistently. I really hope we get a surge of new players. this game is so good.

Honestly one of the best and approachable guides ive seen and got me in the mood to get back into fighting games. The step by step easy to follow way you made this vid is extremely good and i will be sending this to people i know who have been intimidated to learn a fighting game. Please fo more in the future as you impove and please make more specifically as you improve at UNI.

People irl give teachers lots of flak with the whole those who can't do sentiment. But experts forgetting how to teach is exactly why we have teachers!

Agreed! I'm working on a Metera beginner video for gbfvr . Someone else just put out a Metera tutorial video and he just casually goes "and then you do this combo" which of course is a massive combo that he doesn't explain.

like you said, cant use too much since been playing fighting games but i love the passion in the delivery. shits hilarious

Cool video! It's always nice to see what new players are trying to learn, as it helps me to teach them too. Keep up the good work! Btw, you couldn't tech the throws at the end because you had the counter state on hahaha, it happens.

I love your videos dawg..very informative and funny AF

really great video

This was nice and informative thank you.

Hey dude, I just started playing Under Night yesterday, and this was really helpful with figuring out where to start, especially as someone also coming from Melee, heh. Cheers~

Thank u bro!! SO NICE TO HEAR FROM MELEE PLAYER!!! I love captain falcon and now yuzuhara

amazing video

I saw Eltnum so i came here good choice bruh i feel you we love her xD

really great video, even as a fighting game player i can see how this is great for beginners

32:18 Ah, I see a man of culture

I'm somewhat familiar with fighting games but I've never really learned one. So finally I'm getting UNI 2 as my first fighting game when it comes out and I'm really preparing myself to get good at it. Wish me luck! This was pretty useful :)

4:40 LOL not Eltnum reacting to that comment

Good basic guide

No no, character love is important, after all you are gonna be spending potentially thousands of hours with them if you are really dedicated to the game, if no character calls to you there is no way you can spend that much time on a game

thank you.

It is really hard to teach someone fighting games. The first hurtle is finding someone that actually wants to learn. I once played a guy in GGReloaded and he went 0-50, I tried to tell him how to do basic stuff (like how to block) but he just kept mashing. Another guy I played in SF4 and after the first game he was asking me how to do special moves and after every game I would teach him something else. After a month or so he was doing kara raging demons.

18:20 Just wanna point out that what you are talking about is normally called blockstring, unist has a shield that you can perform on block so calling it "shield pressure" is wrong and leads to confusion, I was expecting that section to be about controlling the additional push back from the shield or something similar. 🤓

Gud vid

Insanely helpful and also funny video, thanks a lot! I was watching a couple tutorials too, supposedly for beginners, but they're talking about oki, GRD mechanics, corner carry, staggering,... and I'm like, what the fuck are those? I only played Smash too, similar to you (though I played all games *except* Melee), and my Smash knowledge transferred to maybe about 5% of actual useful things in UNI2, at least at my current level when I'm just mashing buttons because Smash combos are completely different from UNI2 combos. This guide ignores all of that and just focuses on the core basics of fighting games that will probably even be useful in other games too, not just UNI. I'll try improving using this!

its been a while

Ah! Shield pressure! Exposed 😂 It’s all good, I will call them “friendlies” until the end if time.

YOOOOO

W

When you say shield pressure you mean offense? Or is that a term unique to Uni?

bro you look like that guy that does car reviews lmao. doug demuro

should i get uni 2 on pc or ps?

Shield pressure? You mean block string?

Can You Send Me files Amor Fati Redux?

Big difference between Noob and a Scrub. I take no offense to being a Noob.

'PromoSM' 🤔

I mean the best way to learn fighting games is to just play, uni like other fg has tutorials and combo trials all it takes is the time u put in. Like a test for school u just study the material. . people who do guide learned from the game themselves like urself but ur new so u don't know everything Like for example u can make ur pressure longer using smartsteer (auto combo) It's not like other auto combos where ur stuck with the animation u can cancel it into lows, throws manual input , it doesn't register as autocombo if u don't finish it. So u can go b, c, a, a(B) ,a(c), 2c, 2b,special cancel. As for the shield pressure That's just regular pressure, I thought u was talking about the actual shield mechanic before u actually got to it ur guide is mostly like everyone else , Pick a main, bread n butter, offense, defense, ect ect fundamentals. So the theory doesn't really mesh up when there's countless guides who say the same n , I personally believe people should just take the time to learn the game , if they've played other fighting games they already should know what they need to do since it's always back to square one when u learn a new fighting. If they're new they should focus on getting to know the game before looking for guides

Nice nose 👍

the guide I wish I had when I was new 🤌
