    What did you think of the video? I'd love to hear your feedback. The Fireball game is something that's rarely understood and even less so, taught. I've been hesitant to release this out of fear of failing to deliver. I'm glad I did it though, at worst, I'll learn from this.

      I'm liking this deep breakdown of the mindset and habits involved in the process, but as a Grappler main.. I think there's actually a lot that can be gained by applying this to both handling being zoned AND in our in close game in a way. Great work and I look forward to future videos. definite subscribe from here on in.

    I remember meeting Kaizen Master in forums back in sf4, and I remember his eccentricities when he spoke, my own mindset towards winning, and sometimes the way he talked to others in the group really made me take a dislike to him, never quite sure from his videos like hadouken magic were supposed to be accomplishing etc. It's definitely cool to know that I was wrong about him, giving that you hail him as your mentor, and were willing to listen to the message and not the delivery. Your videos like this on mindset, remind me a lot of what he used to talk about, but I feel you break it down into a very engageable manner which is incredibly informative, so thank you for that. Your content is amazing, looking forwards to seeing you in 6 (I remember your fei in tournaments from 4) and learning a lot from you. Thank you for putting this fantastic knowledge out there and sharing it with us.

    Rythym is so important in Mortal Kombat where slides, teleports and divekicks exist. I’ve seen top players like Foxy throw fireballs and rarely get jumped on or punished by a teleport, and now this video has helped to figure out why

    I clicked on this video on a whim and it was surprisingly informative. I knew most of these ideas already, but it was nice to hear them explained from a SF perspective rather than an airdasher perspective (where pre-empting airdashes and air movement is way more important to worry about than fireballs).
    I can tell that you understand the game well, but what would improve this video and future videos a lot is to provide some examples of how people can mindfully practice the strategies you describe. Regarding wasted movement, for instance, a player could give himself the restriction "don't move unless I specifically have a goal in mind to accomplish," or "whenever I want to move forward and poke, I'm just going to move forward instead."
    Looking forward to part two.
    EDIT: have you ever tried getting into an airdasher aside from Strive?

    Great video, and great topic for a video! I never really thought about to check for how your opponent reacts when a fireball is about to make contact with them, and not just when the fireball makes contact! I also liked that you used Guile in this example. Most guides on the fireball game feature characters like Ryu or Sagat who can throw their fireballs instantly, which is something that Guile can not do.
    I must say that it was only a couple of months ago that I started to think of fireballs as something that you can use as a "second" version of yourself, or as something that you want to use more to take of space and force a reaction out of your opponent, as opposed to something that you want to strike the opponent with. Most of my fighting game experience is with the SF2 series, where fireballs can be used as something that you want to strike your opponent with, and as something that can be very damaging to your opponent, so I had been thinking of fireballs more in that regard than as objects to take up space on the screen with.

    Bruh I have been playing fighting games for 11 years and I have no idea what you're saying(I do but it's weird). Like you're trying to explain the higher level principles that dictate how you apply fireballs/zoning as strategy, and I feel most people will miss the trees for the forest. Like *what* is the difference between playing for information and playing to capitalize on what you learned. What *does* that look like in terms of zoning play. You have to give people some little insight into some basic principles by showing them examples of shit, like just showing them how there are spaces where blocking a sagat fireball and jumping gets you smacked in the mouth by a high tiger on jump startup. Maybe give them some idea of where the "mix" is and how to leverage the low risk/high *information* return zoning demands you to understand. Sure I get you want to teach the men to fish, but to the absolutely uninformed this has to feel like nothing but random platitudes. The way you structured this/the script was really cool though. For mid levelers/perhaps even really strong players maybe this is the next big step for sure. Deep dives into how different fireballs zone/ interact with other fireballs would be a DOPE idea for a vid and you'd probably be really qualified to make it.
