Watch this if you think you're not good at fighting games 

Hardest part about fighting games is convincing all your friends to buy a new title 😔

The hardest part about fighting games is learning your first game. After that hurdle it’s really easy, you’ve learned a previous title and although their might be some system mechanic the main rules are still there. You pick your character, learn a few ez bnbs/make up some easy but absolute cheeks combos, figure out a game plan for your character, boom hop into games. Run into a problem, training mode it for a few minutes or watch someone else and see how they beat it. Loop the cycle

Fighting games are hard because youre playing piano but the song has a bunch of random parts that you have to adjust to based on what another person playing the piano against you is doing

Really the hardest thing about fighting games (otehr than muscle memory) is re-wiring your brain to understand that the "defeat" screen doesn't mean you lose. Coming from games like LoL and CS its hard to accept little victories like landing a new combo or blocking that mixup, but still not winning the match. I think a lot of people quit early because they see "YOU LOSE" and think they gained nothing or wasted their time.

Top 2 hardest things in fighting games imo 1) Learning to be okay with losing 2) Finding someone your level

The hardest part about fgs is playing in delay based netcode

TLDR: it’s not hard; you don’t know the fundamentals *does combo trials *

I think it's less that fighting games are hard and more that getting good at fighting games is a big time commitment. If you wanna' be able to play at even a mid tier level you gotta' put in the hours. And for some that's a deal breaker. It's only recently that I've started getting over that hurdle.

People complain about fighting games being hard because they're used to losing a lot! In games like call of duty even if you didn't win the match, you get kills which is a form of winning to most people. In fighting games, you can delete someone's health bar but the satisfaction comes from actually winning a round from your opponent.

The hardest part of playing fighting games is maining the character you see in the thumbnail cuz i thought "he looks cool" and then everyone hating you because you play Gordeau

My favorite button tapping asmr.

The hardest part about fighting games for me is executing crucial things. Whether it be combos, oki, game plan or etc. I always find myself dropping an easy combo or forgetting to apply oki set-play or just doing the wrong option over and over again. Something about me pressuring myself to win a match makes me do these mistakes more often.

The hardest part about fighting games is the COMMITMENT. I legit love fighting games but the time and work you have to put in makes it hard to commit for the general gamer because there's so many fun games out there that take a fraction of the effort

After playing specifically playing bbtag and rev2 casually with a friend who's been playing fighting games pretty much his whole life, I got another friend into plus r and watch him go from asking how to block to taking half my life in a combo shows me that fighting games aren't really as hard as people make them out to be. Or at the very least they don't have to be.

100% true, fighting games aren't necessarily hard but some games just don't "click" with the player. Blazblue is the perfect example for me: I love it, but no matter how much I play it, I cannot figure it out for the life of me. On the other hand, I can stop playing UNI or KOF for months, yet when I go back to them, it all comes back to me near-instantly. Fighting games aren't too dissimilar to instruments in this way: a bass player plays bass, because it clicks.

rev 2 was my first serious fighter and im glad i started with it

Just wanted to give KizzieKay a shout out for spreading awareness on the greatness that is BB on ultrachen's channel, and I Gotta say, seeing popular members of the FGC praising BlazBlue Central Fiction really puts a smile on my face. First we had the famous GG content creator Obama making the claim that BB is harder than GG on the blasted salami podcast. Then we had Lord Knight, a pro player who excels in multiple fighting games who made a fighting game tier list and placed BBCF near the top, and now we have this video with yet ANOTHER pro player who plays AND excels at multiple fighting games named KizzieKay saying BlazBlue is his favorite fighting game series. Been with the mainline series for a decade now, and no other fighting game has yet to come close in replicating some of the things this series does. The fact that is arguably the most unique AND complex 2D fighter on the market, but isn't talked about hardly at all in the west was always baffling to me. Especially when I read comments, and watch videos of people in the FGC CONSTANTLY complaining about how boring fighting games have gotten recently, or how easy they have become, and yet will REFUSE to give the game a try. Gotta give a the video like for continuing to spread the gospel. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Y'know, that little segment honestly helped me, with the talk about fighting games, and things people look for in said fighting games (since I wanna make a fighting game of my own). Thanks, KizzieKay; ima just go ahead and Sub now. 👍

I don't think I'm bad but whenever an FGC content creator holds a pep talk, I'm all in for it

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL MAN .. Ty for the amazing content Kizzie and keep up the great work

I've been watching you for a couple days now because you showed up in my feed due to Guilty Gear. Wasn't sure if I wanted to sub or not, but was leaning more towards giving it to you. Hearing you say you wanna learn Muay Thai is what made me sure that I needed to sub. I too would like to learn Muay Thai when the pandemic is officially over, and watching your videos makes me wanna play Guilty Gear.

UNIST has the best character select screen and music of any modern fighting game for sure.

Finally I got my own combo vid

Hardest part about playing fighting games is trying to explain to people that full screen rolls as Yang is a free win and yet they still get hit by it.

Kizzie + Muay Thai? Hell yeah. Love the content! Always has something fun or insightful to bring up. Martial Arts is something I would recommend 100% to people. Some will claim Martial Arts isn't for everyone and not everyone can be a Fighter, but I disagree. It's not about the Fighting only, but other valuable life skills you learn also while training, like discipline, patience, and humility. Not only are the Fitness benefits amazing, but you will also meet some great people along the way. Hopefully your able to find a good gym/dojo to train at and wish all the best from a fellow Muay Thai and BJJ enthusiast.

Going from DBFZ to Rev 2 is a struggle for me because in DBFZ you learn so many bad habits with mashing or pre-emptively pressing a button before landing for example and DBFZ will just roll with it no problem. But Rev 2 is slamming my fingers every time i do DBFZ idiot proof stuff. So learning Dizzy combo's in the challenge is actually a challenge for me as i need to unlearn bad habits, learn new motions and having a 5th attack button. Still it's not so hard i can't do it. Just a matter of keeping my head cool and un-learn bad while learning good FG stuff.

Excited for Muay Thai! May you find great joy in its practice

I just wish guilty gear could let me hold the button over having to press it. That’s such a big reason I like BB so much more.

Hey Kizzie, got any game plans after UNIST Combo Trials? Think you might check out Them Fighting Herds? I love the combo flow in that game, and wanted to see what you thought about it.

I picked up rev 2 last year and definitely understood how to play it due to my experience in playing blazeblue.

Honestly I like this guys vibe and how he carries him self (1st impression) catch this sub Kizzie

Tbh learning rev i feel like has helped me get rid of a lotta bad tendency i have with execution but learning nuetral and stuff is still a big kearning process but its fun to learn

Kizzie's come a long way since this video :) Really cool to see

Hope you having a good day my guy

I like how kizzy keeps its real. We need more dudes like you!

When the beta for Strive comes out, do I have to pre-order it to play?

I feel like I understand most games I play, but my fingers simply can't keep up. I simply cannot do inputs well. I can play Jam in Rev 2, because most of her damage (at least what I can get out of her) I get from her three cancellable specials. Just mash the shit out of those and something is bound to do damage. I think I've won a grand total of 3 games, while playing like... around 100, at least, but hey.

These combos are insane (like 20 parts consecutively!) That said I tried doing very simple stuff like this on DoA6 back when it first came out cause each of the characters had a similar move list you could follow through on screen. I think the biggest motivator to practicing is how much one is enjoying the game, and for me that's the characters. Right now I love one character going into Strive, Ramlethal Valentine, which is enough to practice on. But if they're gonna start chopping & changing her due to all the public hate I won't have anyone left...

I want to learn how to box or do judo cause I love fighting games so much I want to see what it do irl

Can someone explain to me the two different versions of under night and what the main differences are. Is it like. GG accent core and then accent core plus r?

should i mash a move until it comes out or should i learn the timing of it (this could change the way i completely play fighting games)

I was doing Gordeau's combo trials on the bus

My Hori octa fightpad finally came in and it’s unlocked my third eye for rev 2.

bought Guilty Gear Xrd as my first fighting game (technically my my second if you count Smash Bros) but I don’t get the game at all. Its not like Smash Bros where one button does it all but theres like 4 different buttons that do attacks and I’m just like, wow this is hard. Even the movement feels hard to execute like a simple dash requires precise double flicks instead of jerking the stick twice in one direction. I hope to get better at these sorta games. This video really convinced me to open the game up again. Thanks!

the hardest part about learning fighting games imo is fundamental. U can look at all the videoes in the wrld on combos n tech, but 9/10 the person who can do basic juggles, keep out, n keep away usually win

I hate the street fighter controls. Anyone got tips or a source for imptovement?

I play accent core plus r and I find it hard to time my attacks for combos. I am always a bit late or early. I am able to predict what the other guy will do and get a grab on them at times but I just can't do any combos :( But hey getting ass kicked is fun too

One issue with fighting games is that people don't see the Work that happens behind the scenes. Knowing why you lost a set sounds like it should be easy to figure out but it can be tricky as a beginner. Also the concept of practice and training isn't discussed enough.

When it comes to fighting games it is combos as I struggle with them so much that I don’t focus on the other parts. So I try and find characters with easy combos so I can focus on the other aspects.

My fingers and eyes don't seem to match up when trying to do trials.

Learning characters in ArcSys games would be a lot harder for me if Dustloop didn't exist. There's a lot of info on buttons, specials, supers, and game mechanics that the game doesn't always tell you.

I came from fighterz but the beta for strive got me super intrigued so I preordered the standard edition, cause fighterz servers are annoyingly bad and it takes forever to find a game against someone with good internet, when I go against someone with decent internet it still lags

On that comment about fighting games been inspired by fencing I would like to add that skills in fencing can be carry over tofighting games to extend I remember watching a tournament of Hellish Quart that is a hevelly fencing inspired fighting game with objective of tranlating real fencing to a game as most faithfull as possible and this tournament top 8 have like 5 or 6 real fencers play the game using their knowledge to win and for me is really intressting how one skill can be translated to other at some extend

My g, do I beginner guide for guilty gear if you haven’t, you goat fr fr 😫

Can someone explain to me the two different versions of under night and what the main differences are it's a light accent core and then accent core plus r?

Trying to get into central fiction, after a bit I’m actually landing small combos

But what if I do think I’m good at fighting games kizzie, I can’t live life now without that video

Your channel is Dope!!! Why??? Because you have fun & you don't talk 💩 Keep up the great work my brother 💪🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Honestly I feel like the character that will prepare you most for strive is to play answer

I just have a tough time adjusting to games like guilty gear because of the crazy weird animations of the attacks. I play sfv and a little tekken so it's just hard to know what moves are what in these other games. Of course that just goes along with learning how to play it, I just can't pick it up as easily.

I suck at anime games alot because i always feel like i'm in delay. My jabs take time to come out. I'm used to MK inputs

Another reason why its gard for some people is tht say for example they are used to mk but then they go to bb its a different feel for the game

That's true before I didn't understand it but know I like fighting all i hate is when people use a 100% combo on u

The tough part in getting into new fighting games IMO is the knowledge and execution barriers, which can vary depending on the game but in general are always present in a game. Like Street Fighter has barriers in needing to know and be able to do the links and a lot of frame data. Not just the frames for your character but also the opponent's. Tekken is a slew of knowledge barriers with needing frame data but also stuff like even "which direction to sidestep and when, and should I step or walk?" Games also don't structure the means of teaching combos very well, at least not in general. Trials tend to give combos that test for mastery rather than giving players ones that they can apply easily in matches (though I just picked up Uni a couple weeks ago and its tutorials are really well designed in general). SF is pretty easy but even then there are beginner walls like getting stuck in block strings without having any method to punish or on the inverse being if you're against someone like Guile and unable to put up an offense because overheads suck, the can throw out safe normals, and you can't jump due to the ease of being anti-aired. Fighting games often have players thinking, "So I just can't do anything against this?" And there may be solutions or may not be and devs leave it up to the players going into the lab to find them instead of giving advice in either tutorials or just directly. And if you ever want to switch characters you need to completely rework your game plan since stuff like buttons you could use to poke, timing for your anti-air, and the moves you use to punish all change.

My love for Guilty Gear has no bounds, but damn do I suck at the game :(

I got into fighting games about half a year ago and recently found a discord group where most players are from my region, so now I don't have to worry about lag, esp in Rev 2. Thing is, whenever I match against most of them I get my ass beat every time. Lately I've learned that I should "hold 4 and don't fucking let go until you see an overhead" and practice and memorize different sorts of combos before you try and make some up yourself straight away in a match; to get a feel of the character and understanding what can cancel into what. It's tedious because I'm still in that "hold 4" phase and am having trouble defending against mixups, so right now it's a game of "how long can I block and not get hit"

I got this problem.... its hard for me to learn a game without someone to play, and this bad netcode games make it really hard for me to try and learn by myself, reason for which Im bad at fighting games I like to learn by constantly playing the game, something that is really hard sometimes, specially when you find a good connection the guy gets bored or rejects the rematch

Rip gordeau mains in bbtag :(

I suggest everyone play Granblue if waiting for strive, or just because it's such a solid fighter. It's honest and will teach you fundamentals that will carry over in EVERY fighting game

I know I’m not but I had to watch thi kizzie Kay vid

No idea how the algorithm got this vid in my suggested lol 🤣 I only play doa but I like it I guess it's a cool looking fighting game if I was big on fighting games in general

Fighting games are easy on a casual level against the cpu or other casuals. Getting bodied by more competitive players and still wanting to learn is the hard part.

What game is this anyone?

With Tatsunoko vs Capcom as one of my first ranked fighters, i feel like maining Zero killed any chance I had at learning fundamentals. He never knew how to wait for a turn, his space control is taken for granted, and assists gave you free block strings and safety to get out. Blazblue Calamity Trigger also taught me nothing as most of the time was spent learning the unique character traits. I didn't learn actual fundamentals until the first time i played UNIEL.

i simply comment to boost the stats and bcs i kinda love the content to

You right Kizzie I don’t understand Strive. But from what I’ve been seeing from watching the beta it’s looks easy.

I'm still struggling to consistently even just move the character without accidentally jumping. 🤣 Or even doing the dragon punch motion. It feels like it's going to take 100 hours of practice just to get those right.

Maybe I'm noob... But I'm finding Rev2 really hard to pick up coming from Killer Instinct / MvC / 2019 SamSho / SC6 / GranBlue VS. The biggest reason why I find Rev2 so difficult is because there's sooo many universal mechanics that it's really hard for me to pick up on. There's blue burst and gold burst. There's 3 types of RCs (those weren't actually hard to pick up on, specially coming from KI). There's Dead Angle, there's launch combos from Dust (which you'd think would be easy for me to pick up on cause conceptually they're really similar to MvC3 and I's but I do dusts and my fingers go "HUH PRETTY LAUNCH"), Faultless Defense, Blitz Shield, Blitz Attack, and most characters have unique mechanics on top of all the universals........it's just a lot. I feel like when I play Rev2 I'm given a deluxe hamburger and I stupidly only eat the buns because I don't know how to even approach the everything inside cause there's so much, but I got general sense of combos, mixups, approaches, throws, ya know...the generic stuff lol. The most boring part.

I used to think myself adequate at playing street fighter.. My crowning achievement is an akuma combo that finished in raging demon.. I've managed to do it once

Wich Game is he playing ?

Wish steam had a open beta for strive 😃

I'm currently learning injustice 2 rn and like I have played NRS games before like mk9 and injustice 1 even loved tf outta mkx when it first came out, but yo them games feel weird asf after somewhat learning games like DragonBall and street fighter cuz of those dial up combos lmao top that with the fact I'm learning bane in a game that is heavy on zoning lmao I spelled myself for disaster.

if it doesn't end in assimilation , its not a gordeau combo lmao i never played unist, but I played uniel a lot.

Also kizzie is learning Muay Thai good luck with them shins. 😅😂

I always hit a plateau with fighting games and i cant get better idk why

1. Fun 2. Variety 3. Interaction Facts

4:58 Not gonna lie, I thought Rev was hard too when I first bought it. I never played Guilty Gear before and there were so many unique system to the game like Roman Cancels and Tension. Left the game for years, came back after I became comfortable with DBZF, and suddenly everything was a lot less overwhelming. And overwhelming was exactly how I would describe it, not impossible to learn (fairly easy in fact) just a hell of a lot

"I'm choosing violence? I'm choosing honor bro." instant subscribe.

Guilty Gear has a lot more mechanics compared to Street Fighter. That said, I can say first hand fighting games have less complex game systems to learn compared to to a game like League of Legends or Rainbow 6 Siege. The hardest part of any and every game and a nessisary part of growing as a player is going from thinking "I need to overcome this mechanical barrier to be good" to "What do I have to do to win. What's my win condition and how do I win it consistently." The mechanical aspect is always the least important part while fundamental concepts like positioning and decision making always matter so much more.

For me, who has played SF since I was younger, learnt how to play DoA and VF at tournament level. I will say one issue is when I go to different games , not accepting that they’re different right away. Can’t find a main. So, I hop on easier FGs so that I may learn at an acceptable pace to fight my other friend or it plays like SF where I can use my skillset. I can’t see myself go through the process of learning and feeling like a noob again because I payed my dues already. Played with the old heads and learnt/now teach others here and there. I know what’s it like to beat up noobs all day and don’t want people to feel that burden when I decide to play outside of my comfort zone. Fundamentals are there to an extent but other times, I feel like the process of transferring my skills isn’t happening at all. That what I know feels useless. Feels like an old dog can’t learn new tricks scenario. Even if things do seem to be going well, I grow bored of the game. Happened with UNI. Was doing ok but got bored.

Coming from mortal kombat titles and injustice 2 to guilty gear was an extremely hard transition but that’s the extent of difficulty in fighting games

Fighting games are complicated because the combo string can be so hard, im a dbfz player and i didnt understand rev 2 and its inputs are crazy but are so fun when u archive a combo

lo intente saben? pero no sé inglés.

To me the hardest part of fighting games on a fundamental mechanical level is charge characters. I cant for the life of me figure out how a character archetype designed to be easier for players who can't do complex motions ended up being nothing but a hurdle for everyone Ive ever known play fighting games me included. It breaks my heart for me to see an awesome character, want to put time into learning them, only to find out they are a charge character and I cry as I go back to my shoto bois because they work and make sense. Quarter circles? Child's play. Half circles? Easy. 360s? Yes please. DPs? DPs make me feel safe. The pretzel? That one scares me but I can do it semi consistently. But charges? I never know when Im done charging and either get blown up because they don't come out because I didn't charge enough or I get blown up because I wasted my opportunity charging too much. They suck and I hate them.

To me there are factors that dictate if a fighting game is "hard" - Resources for learning (Tutorials in-game, guides online, lots of people playing it to share tech) - The age of the game (If a game is too old it might be very obtuse, and have less new players and lots of "necros") - The execution barrier (Some games have less reliance on frame perfect inputs, precise windows and overall god-like execution to do the more advanced stuff. Older games usually had engine quirks and glitches/exploits that were hard to do, but now are fully accounted for in newer titles, for example)

I may not be the best or sometimes just trash at fighting games but I have fun in everything regardless simply just because they’re my favorite

Hey Kizzie are their any games like DBFZ? I love that game to death, but want to explore others like it.

What's hard about fighting game is the learning curve. When you pick a game, you can struggle and then, you get much better, but you fall back into that plateau-like state, and you have to learn more than you did before. Again and again. At the end, it comes to knowing the game in its finest details.
