      Nachy just focus on basics first.
      Like in MVC2 I started with Blackheart as my anchor. All that I really needed to know was how to push block and that hard kick and hard punch threw out demons also his anti air assist was one of the best in the game.
      Doing and knowing just that helps a lot. I show that to new players at this barcade that had the game and they quickly get an edge over their friends just knowing those basics with one character in a 3v3 fighter.
      Then just knowing which assists to have for cover fighter during neutral helps. Sure, they can be used to extend combos as well, but working on cover and zoning is simpler and easier to help you get into the game.
      Things like that, just learn basics first, then do the more advanced things afterwards.

    This is the video I sent to my non-fighting game friends so they can start approaching the game from an open-minded, analytical standpoint. So they can start respecting it and then start playing differently. In my experience, telling non-fighting game friends that button-mashing isn't useful usually comes across as you just being a snob, despite the fact that it's not working for them. That's why I think the opening of this video, that conpares the ludicracy of it to games that are mainstream is so amazing in hooking them to keep watching, due to repeatability. AMAZING job!

    This is The FGC chanel
    If you want to know the basics or the history from some fighting games this is the chanel you need
    But the best part is that you don't get dizzy with the many information, the tier God edit, real life information (it feels so profesional everything) and cool music are awsome

    I love how you give the answer at the start of the video so people who just wanted to know can leave satisfied and the people that wanna know more can stick around.

      TH-cam automatically age restricts Mortal Kombat 11 and X videos because the algorithm reads it as real life violence
