Fighters all boil down to 3 main points: footsies, fundamentals, reads a reactions. This translates to: learning how to approach your opponent without jumping. Zoning, antiairs, and resource management. Finally, matchup knowledge, soft reads vs hard reads, and developing muscle memory in order to physically execute on reaction. This all takes many, many years of dedication.
You saying years makes me happy. I have been playing 45 days and I am getting my ass kicked on a regular basis. realistically...how many matches did you play ranked before you felt you were starting to get better.
@@Rotwang72 In Street Fighter V? I played Street Fighter many years before V so before that the first competitive game was 4. I say the first competitive game because it was the first one online. You're most likely not going to get the competition you need to improve offline. It took me about 4 years of receiving nothing but losses, practicing execution 8 hours a day everyday on Pad and moving onto Stick, and watching nothing but deep-cut informative videos on the game. If you are literally just starting and you're playing a game that has nothing but tryhards left on it the way SFV has on it right now, that is the best way to improve. The harsh reality is that you'll probably never, ever win though for a long time.
@@thatboytoni238 Thanks for the response. I have played Street Fighter 2 for a long time but not regularly. But not I am really into V. I watched quite a bit of guides and have been playing online ranked matches for 44 days in a row. At first I jumped up out of the very low tiers but I have plateaued off and can't seem to break out of where I am stuck for the last say, 25 days. I am not expecting to babe an EVO tournament player ever, I just want to keep improving. Kind of like playing a musical instrument. I am not thinking I am going to be a rockstar, just want to be good. When you say "tryhards" what does that mean?
@@Rotwang72 V is much easier than 2. By tryhards I mean smurfs, wanna-be pros, or actual tournament players. I have ran into tournament players on the game before and almost everyone playing at this point is on that level despite what league the game says they're in. 45 days isn't enough time to have a full understanding of matchups. You might make it to Gold in that time just starting out. Most of your time should be practicing execution in training mode and studying your character through replays or actual guides. This way you can learn how to approach different characters, learn setups, routes, etc. The best advice I can give you is pick 3 pro players that use your character, watch them for a couple of weeks, practice what you see in training mode and don't even bother having actual matches yet. In lower leagues antiairs are far and away the most important thing you should learn. Execution, antiairs, stop jumping, establish a strike-throw game in neutral close quarters for conditioning, and reads. Lower level players are harder to condition and you can lose to players that are worse than you because of it so, in lower leagues, patience and reaction on what they do is more important than reading them because they are hard to read. Higher level players play the game more appropriately.
Thanks for the analysis! Seemed to go over basic fundamentals ideas like “playing the neutral”, knowledge vs. fundamentals, pokes, dive kicks, etc. better than ordinary commentary this showed what’s actually being done! Thanks.

There are two wolves warring inside you, one is fundamentals the other is random.
Which one wins?
@@Kriskazam that's the thing, You need both.

Alright fellas, time to make this channel grow
Great video, I love breakdowns like this. Subscribed, keep up the good work.
As a new player learning FGs you have no idea how much I needed this video, thank you.
Thanks for the analysis! Seemed to go over basic fundamentals ideas like “playing the neutral”, knowledge vs. fundamentals, pokes, dive kicks, etc. better than ordinary commentary this showed what’s actually being done! Thanks.
Really fun content love the analysis!
Justin is awesome
Nice analysis! JWong is the og for some reason.
This was a great vid
I see you neph your hair looks great 👀👀👀
Great video!

More videos like this plz
Good content boi
I wish I could ask neph for help. He is a great teacher.
You can always ask him in on his stream! He's super nice and tries to always answer questions.
I could teach you for sexual favors
Footies come under fundamentals
why is everything a dive kick!?!?!? 😭
IF YOU LIKE JUSTIN WONG SO MUCH, WHY DON'T YOU MARRY HIM!?
as a top player, can you tell how to develop fundamentals or to even understand what fundamentals are ?
look in the lessons playlist on my channel!

I feel like I am jamming the controller to hard and I don't know how to stop. How do I get my mind to just put the buttons and timing right.
you dont want to rush in on justin because hes a fken legend and you are scared playing footsies with him cause hes a fken legend. thats his advantage.
I hate that you LED with "optimal combos". Basically this turns two beginners into a game of who can first will ultimately win.
Love the insights! Thanks for this! nephewDance nephewDance nephewDance nephewDance nephewDance nephewDance
