Starting with teaching beginners where to focus their attention towards is a very wise place to start. It's a personal hobby of mine to watch fighting game beginner guides (despite being quite experienced with the genre) because I wanna see the most educational and useful guides out there, and this video (and the first) are shaping up to be quite high on that echelon, maybe even #1. I wish you the best and I hope that you continue the series, you certainly have a didactic touch.
this is the first fighting game tutorial i've seen that actually talks about how to practice techniques one doesn't fully understand yet, through experience. "get into games with opponents better than you, and try only to make the match as long as possible" is such a good tip!
Thats part of how i learned when i started I figured i would focus on only defending because when my opponents were better than me thats the one thing i could most consistently practice And when learning having some reliability means a lot
Excellent job - This was very helpful to me. Finding good tutorials and learning resources within the FGC is hit & miss. A lot of pros and long-time players have trouble teaching something that has been so ingrained in their brains for decades. They take for granted how complex simple mechanics can be for a new player. I look forward to learning more from you!
Brilliant video. Suprisingly when I first started playing fighting games my defance was good but I struggled at finding the right moment to attack when defending, so I just stood there blocking but not attacking and eventually getting my ass kicked
Nice video. One point that I will highlight (altho you probably know already) is that while the main point of self-defense irl is preservation, a video game's goal is to determine a winner, and that inherently requires progress. Due to this, martial arts will often focus on defense and escape first (preservation) while fighting games need to focus on attacks before all else (progress). After all, it doesn't make sense to engage in an escapable fight irl and risk potent injuries or to have immaculate defensive technique but no way to make progress in a fighting game.
I think i told you once, but i tell you again. No matter how few clicks and subs you have, if you continue, i guarantee you, you will be at LEAST end up with 100k subs. This shit just nice. Well produced, nice explanation, everything perfect my bro
I really enjoyed your first video and was looking forward to the next one. I want to say that THIS is what a fighting game tutorial should be like. This is something I would like to see just starting my way in fighting games. Thank you so much for doing this, please don't stop!
Feints are very good to help disrupt your opponent as well, though they blur the line between offence and defence. Moves which have a wind up that can be cancelled into a simple disengagement, sidestep or even a crouch or jump; moves that can be cancelled into a throw? Wonderful feints. A good example from real life (ish) watch the fight between Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee in Return of the Dragon. This fight gives excellent examples of jabs (or pokes), feints, broken rhythm, distance control, when to grab and footwork in an attack as well as being simply badass!
This is some high quality stuff, being a beginner I find it entertaining and informational. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort in making these.
Your Videos are so good! I really like that you use a lot of different Fighting Games as examples and not just focus on a few instead. And your analogy's to real Martial Arts in the beginning of the Videos is also very helpful, as the Games are usually not realistic, but they still use real world Martial Arts as a basis. It always reminds me of what I've learn in Kyokushin Karate. And I like your accent! Greetings from Germany ;)
Wonderful video! This is a topic i dont see many people covering, and you did it well. Alongside stuff like not really focusing on their opponent, i think one thing beginners struggle with is when to block, or for how long. I often see many of my friends not blocking mids on wakeup or randomly getting hit during a blockstring. I struggle with that last part myself when im new to a game, i was very impatient during my first few hours of melty blood and kept trying to abare myself outta there for some reason. Patience is super important.
This doesn't have to do with the topic itself but I do appreciate the vast amount of fighting games (caught me off guard when I saw Chaos Code and Nitroplus) you feature in your videos since I usually only see folks feature the "standard ones" like your Street Fighters and Tekkens, awesome! 👍
I think anotger good exercise to begin with, is to play against people and focus only on poking and doing the antiars, not even try to do complex combos or win. Jus practicing this and geting consistent will eventually get easier to controll space an hit confirming combos.
I'd like to point out that while you use "low profile" to describe moves that go under certain pokes or projectiles, the opposite term is not a mirror, because "high profile" is not a real-life term. Low profile is. In general, people will refer to a move that goes OVER low moves as a "low crush" (presumably because these moves usually move downward, crush felt more appropriate.) Just in case anyone goes looking for more examples, "correct" (or I suppose, common?) nomenclature is helpful.
I did mention that it's not a commonly used term, but I didn't make it up (just search for it on Dustloop or Mizuumi). Crushing moves are a different thing that wasn't in the scope of this video.
I can't decipher the hands for the life of me, so lately I've payed attention to the chin to break throws in Tekken. No chin = Left, All chin = right, Forward chin = 2 hand. I haven't tried this yet on the non human characters yet though
Funnily enough, in Tekken 7 specifically, you can break normal throws with either punch button. It's command grabs that mandate breaking with 1, 2 or 1+2. Would've been nice to have a tutorial on that, eh?
does lagswitching to get out of the corner/damaging combos count as defending yourself? what about harasment campaigns to push out the player from your community altogether?
No, I just make a point of showing a wide array of games. The games I play somewhat seriously are Strive, Tekken 7, Granblue Fantasy Versus, SF V and DNF Duel.

A topic for another video :)
Just wanted to leave a comment and say thank you for putting the title of the different games that you showed in the background. 🙏🏽

Dude I can’t believe you used a Wonder Showzen clip. Kudos.
What an absolutely raunch show.
good video. might try out this advice myself if i get back into playing fighting games soon.
Awesome video, the little graphics here and there really make it. Especially useful about where to look!

sent this to a friend getting into fighting games and it helped him a lot ty 🙏
Your vids are good especialy as im looking to get in to fighters seriously when sf6 drops next week. And i will also be maining kimberly.

@@MougliFGC I'm very excited to see that considering the quality content you've been putting out so far.

Hope this will help people get into the swing of things 🙏
Nice

Good video!
Man, I really need to find someone to do HEMA with. I loved practicing it in college.
I swear skullgirls tutorials is too good.
add video examples and it is perfect :D

Dope vid my guy. You gonna do some vids on sf6 when it officially comes out?
Thanks! I don't really do game-specific videos, unless there's something very particular I want to talk about.

Would've been nice to have a tutorial on that, eh?
WAIT, REALLY? EVERY TEKKEN STREAMER/ TH-camR ALWAYS SAID THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THE PUNCH BUTTONS RIGHT FOR EVERY GRAB!
@@HeirofDacia That is how it works in every other Tekken game besides 7. No idea what it'll be like in 8.
Nice editor & voice😊
NEW MOUGLI VIDEO LESSGOOOOOOO
say i’m watching a livestream of a game who should i pay attention to on the screen since i’m not playing?
Who would you pay attention to if you were watching a UFC fight?
One day the FGC will give For Honor the respect it deserves. IJS
does lagswitching to get out of the corner/damaging combos count as defending yourself? what about harasment campaigns to push out the player from your community altogether?
no
@@MougliFGC but thats more common than people who block
bonne vidéo
Do you play all of these games you showed?
No, I just make a point of showing a wide array of games. The games I play somewhat seriously are Strive, Tekken 7, Granblue Fantasy Versus, SF V and DNF Duel.
@@MougliFGC Wow that's still quiet a few. I mostly play Tekken. I Started playing Strive somewhat. Gonna start Street fighter with SF6.
i did some of these on OBT SF6, im noob to it and manage to do a perfect KO on a classic player lol
Song at 3:28 ??
It's on screen at the beginning of the chapter.
easiest solution
unplug the other player's controller XD
or just close the game lol
Block.
That's next episode.
I don't get how people like these games. They are asf to get into. They throw in the wild and say good luck
I am literally trying to help people get into them with this series.
Ah yes, when you homeless, just buy a house
Thanks for engaging with the thumbnail!
you lying i dont belive u
Believe what you want to believe, I can't stop you.
