    In fighting games, the NEUTRAL GAME can be often overlooked. Especially for a beginner when learning how to approach their opponents. However, the neutral state (footsies, jump ins, movements etc) is an important skill to learn to get most out of your gameplay. Hope this have open your eyes on the new possibilities you can find when playing a match! It is best not to always be grounded since the possibilities are endless!

    Very informative video! Whenever I play fighting games like Mk online, I always struggle with performing combos etc. because I always get very excited for no reason. I always do very well in the Towers of Time, but online is something else man😅

    Please when you are making tutorials, please could we let us see how you move your fingers or press on the pad so that I can learn how;I mean the timing of your pressing on the pad.Bcos I''m having problems with the extended combos.I've been practising a lot but still can't do the extended combos. MK 9 and X were easier for me but MK 11 very difficult to do the extended combos.

    I was confused on the attack range part of footsie tools. Is the drawing stating that zangief normals that try to reach mika are terrible at that range?

    • @MadDoggGames
      @MadDoggGames  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, certain character are given footsie tools and some aren’t. Zangief is hard to play because of that major weakness.

    • @smoothsavage2870
      @smoothsavage2870 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If we're basing it on each game, MKX strongly disregards neutral. The running made neutral irrelevant in that game. I don't really remember MK9 like that cuz it's been a LONG time since i played it, so i can't speak to that one.

    You're describing footsies. The neutral game is the actual state of a game, when both players are in equal chance of winning the game, in positioning, health and meter. The community that describes fighting games the way you did in this video, is not the FGC, but the Smash community.

    • @MadDoggGames
      @MadDoggGames  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I do agree that neutral is all about positioning. Movement is used to helped with that. More often than not, neutral in 2d games is when both players reset in the center of the map with spacing between each other. I don’t agree that health and meter has to be the same to be considered neutral. Neutral happens regardless on the amount of meter and Heath. Not really about equal chance of winning the game but the equal chance of finding an opportunity to attack. The term that I found this was not from the smash community but the games from SFV, and MK11 as well as Tekken. Neutral game in smash works differently these games I just mentioned.

    I don’t understand why people over complicate these games so much. I’ve played these games for years and I’ve never learnt what any of these terms mean. I’ve performed fine by just learning characters strings and learning how my opponents play.

      Could you explain why? Imo, I find mk11 to be more complex and harder due to multiple variables you have consider when playing.

      @smoothsavage2870 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@Dipole__ He has no valid explanation. What he said is what people say who like to act like they graduated from the Harvard school of fighting games lol. If the game isn't a complex mathematical equation with a million combo paths (even though most people will only use 5-10 at most), that makes the game "too simplified".

      yeah, not all characters have an anti air to use, some you have to equip it which is kind of silly. I wish they added it as an essential tool for everyone.
