Bro these videos are sooooooo gooood. I especially love that you started this by saying that if your opponent is just jumping around and neutral skipping like a madman then don't bother with footsies. So much FGC content is for high level play and it is confusing to beginner-intermediate. In SF6, because of DI and DR, you only start to see meaningful neutral/footsies around platinum 4. Walk down still important against neutral skip though, so great that it's the first video in this series.
Glad you like them! There’s a lot of neutral skip in this game, but you still need to use the basics of footsies in many situations too. Thanks for leaving a comment!

This and element no.1 of the footsies handbook work together well. Good stuff
I’ve been making content focusing on quality over getting subs/money. Please share my videos to others so I can help more players improve! Thank you SO much for this comment😃
On top of that, once both players know how to play footsies the game gets a whole lot better and more fun to play than just waiting to punish the opponent for doing random things in neutral like spamming fireballs, jumping non stop, etc
Hey just wanna say my win rate has gone from like 35% to around 50% - (and with Manon as my second it's like 60% LOL people just too afraid of her) - thanks for the help! Trust the process, apply these techniques, the improvement will come!!!
This video took me from continually being booted out of platinum to hitting platinum 2 for the first time ever. I’ve been stuck for MONTHS at that level. I switched to leverless, watched 50 videos, and even tried switching to a new character, only to again get stuck at the same level. I was continually backing up and waiting for my opponent to make a move. Walking forward changed my game FOREVER! Thank you so much for the concise EXCELLENT content.
I love your videos so much. Some of the cleanest editing, most concise and well thought out organization and pacing. I hope they get as much attention as possible!!
Thank you so much for this comment! It means so much to me to hear this from my viewers. I’ll keep doing my best to put out more good content! And of course, share with your friends too😀
I always feel like my videos aren’t as good as I want them to be, but comments like these give me confidence that I’m on the right track. Thank you so much!
@@Chris_F Honest Feedback: I'm good for any kind of tutorial, whether it's a complete combo guide, an hours long lecture, Pools start-to-finish or short, conceptual guides, I'll watch it if I find value. But here's what I like about your short vids. I placed a few weeks ago as Silver 5 (and haven't played online since. Stupid jitters!), so I commonly find myself in that awkward "I know what I don't know" phase. I have a general idea of what things like footsies, meaties and shimmies are, but how and WHY to properly execute is where I get hazy. So helping me to understand the why's and what-to-look-out-fors is HUUUUUUGE in my world. Thank-you much! Your content is great, and you're on the right track!
Solid info, & concise. Walk & block's a familiar concept, but I like the concept of gaining info, & being ready for 1) attack, 2) DI, or 3) jump. Also, moving back for a possible whiff punish. Thanks.
Gave you a like and subscribe. Been playing at a high level since SF4, but these small tip videos are things overlooked when you get into a match so it's good to get a refresher AND how to practice them! Also, I love that you mention if people are jumping around and you aren't properly anti-airing, you need to calm down and learn to just punish them first before trying to work in footsies!
This is my first street fighter. Your guides about delayed tech and other things that the game doesn't teach you, got me to master rank last night! Thank you!
Hey just wanna say thank you for this video! I generally play zoners but hit a wall trying to get other characters (Ken, Cammy) to Master. I'm so used to getting backed into the corner that pressuring/walking forward takes me out of my comfort zone. Your video made me realize I need to change my mentality and focus on relearning the fundamentals 🙂
Great video! I knew already the fundamentals of footsies, but sometimes a reminder is useful, especially if it's a chance to learn something more. Thank you again🙏🏾
As a Marisa player and completely new to fighting game, this is something I didn't do until recently and it's very powerful since people are scared of getting touched by Marisa. Glad someone like you finally bring this concept up so other beginners don't have to learn through trial and error 👍
I'm plat 4 omw to diamond 1 (did not play ranked for a few times). I been playing many diamonds in Battle Hub and so far, I have one big big struggle. People moving backward. Some characters cause me more pain than others. One especially painful to me today was a Dee Jay. He was walking backward almost the whole neutral game, impossible for my Modern Juri to reach his toes. I had to hard commit to get closer. Indeed, he would end up by cornering himself... But he was just doing some offensive moves enough to keep my mental stack up and being worried to anything. Everytime he was trying anything, he was immediatly getting in range because I was the one trying to move forward. I been trying to bait him, but it was not working much. Fireballs, max range slides, many safe moves, his kick positive on block with a... quite interesting range, and all his options that are safe, it was causing me a lot of troubles. The only way to not be free hit was to stay full screen. And his drive rush is nuts too. He was litterally turning the table around just by walking backward, and that was really difficult to me. Do you have any hint ? I'm up for a personal call if you want to spend a few time with me. My Disord is IngeniusSoul. Feel free to add me, with pleasure.
I will need to watch your replay to give better advice. Send me a DM on twitter/x with your CFN and I can watch the matches and give you advice on stream. My twitter account is on my TH-cam about page .
Thx for your support! Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve been enjoying sf6 a lot lately but I have a new KOF video that will be up within the next few days!
Im going through all of your neutral videos for sf6 however im a gran blue player. Is there anything you would add onto this video if this were a grab blue video instead outside of gaining meter while walking forward? I.e utilizing the block button while walking forward instead of crouch backing (dunno if this would even be that useful but id imagine?)
I would add that running forward is also an option in granblue but it carries risk when done in midrange bc afaik you can’t block frame 1 while running. I would suggest to keep spot dodge in mind as an option while running in case your opponent tried to stick out a fast long reach attack before you can block. Btw I will have a new granblue video up this week!
Walking back can take you out of range of your opponents attacks. You’ll want to look for whiff punish chances and anti airs mostly but I really depends. I’ll cover this in another episode!
@@Chris_F sorry, I want to know how to close-in on her after she does her Phalanx and Quadriga. Her range makes it hard for me to get close enough to attack her.
You need to anti-air phalanx or push a button to stop her from doing it before it comes out. Perfect parry works too. Light version of quadriga is -6 on block so you can punish that after guard.
Same here. I just kinda got back into fighting games this year. I started with mk1 and like it but I can see that sf6 is probably better in terms of depth and competitiveness and with how smooth the connection is. Tekken just doesn't inspire the way sf or mk does with the characters and level design. There just isn't a character that looks cool or fun to play.
One thing I hate about these stages are the disconnect between the stage and the fighters. On that Jmaican stage, there would be a crowd taking photos, people betting, and reacting to all the moves but it's like they don't see the fight at all. Another complaint are the stages themselves, what happened to those stages where I can knock you into another section? Most stages should have something like that built in

Dude, why don't you have way more subscribers. This information is phenomenal for beginner/intermediate players.
I’ve been making content focusing on quality over getting subs/money. Please share my videos to others so I can help more players improve! Thank you SO much for this comment😃
will do. You've been my go-to for helping myself and my friends who are newer to sf improve. Keep it up!@@Chris_F

Absolutely, leveling up and playing against better players is one of the best parts of fighting games
Hey just wanna say my win rate has gone from like 35% to around 50% - (and with Manon as my second it's like 60% LOL people just too afraid of her) - thanks for the help! Trust the process, apply these techniques, the improvement will come!!!
This is one of my favorite comments EVER! I’m so happy that my videos were able to help you become a better player. Thank you so much!!!
Just a question, did you do any particular training drills on training mode? Or did you simply force yourself to be more aware?
I'm looking forward to this series. 0:25 advice is definitely helpful tip for a beginner
So glad you liked it! I’m doing my best to make the next videos even better so please stay tuned!
Love that episode 1 is walking forward. Such a powerful tool.
Yup it’s strong for sure! Thx for watching!

Nice, I was missing a link to understand this basic concept and now it clicks. Looking forward to more content from you!
So glad this video helped make it click for you! I’m already working on the next video so I hope to have it ready soon
It's surprising that one of the hardest parts of a fighting game is simply... walking forward! Thanks, you have a new subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not usually one for hyperbole, but hard agree! (in hindsight, I'm all about hyperbole >.> )

Thanks for watching!
Great video! Love how you went through different scenarios and about opponent decisions! Looking forward to your next tutorials
More to come! So glad you liked it

Im sure you’ll improve! Thanks for watching!
Great video man. Keep it up.
I really look up to you as a creator so this comment means a lot to me. Thank you!
@@Chris_F thanks. That means a lot to me as well. I appreciate it.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Love these types of videos!!!!!
Glad you like them!

This is an incredibly informative video new sub keep it up man much appreciated 🎉❤💯🔥
Thanks for the sub and for watching! I hope you like the next episode too
@@Chris_F I will for sure gold ryu and been struggling lol
this is exactly what i needed to hear
Glad I was able to make something useful to you! Thx for watching!
I'm plat 4 omw to diamond 1 (did not play ranked for a few times).
I been playing many diamonds in Battle Hub and so far, I have one big big struggle.
People moving backward.
Some characters cause me more pain than others.
One especially painful to me today was a Dee Jay.
He was walking backward almost the whole neutral game, impossible for my Modern Juri to reach his toes. I had to hard commit to get closer.
Indeed, he would end up by cornering himself... But he was just doing some offensive moves enough to keep my mental stack up and being worried to anything.
Everytime he was trying anything, he was immediatly getting in range because I was the one trying to move forward.
I been trying to bait him, but it was not working much. Fireballs, max range slides, many safe moves, his kick positive on block with a... quite interesting range, and all his options that are safe, it was causing me a lot of troubles.
The only way to not be free hit was to stay full screen. And his drive rush is nuts too.
He was litterally turning the table around just by walking backward, and that was really difficult to me.
Do you have any hint ?

Wow no way! I play manon as a sub character so unfortunately I don’t remember but I’m so happy to be able to connect with ppl I’ve played!
This is what I needed brah.
I know what you want but I got what you need
Love your content!
I’m so glad you do! Thank you for watching
Walking forward also regenerates your drive gauge faster than backwards.
Very true!
These guides are amazing
Thank you so much! I’ll try to make my new ones even better
Chris F = Chris G's much handsomer younger brother.
Greate tips and advice! Btw will we being seeing more kof15 content?
Thx for your support! Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve been enjoying sf6 a lot lately but I have a new KOF video that will be up within the next few days!
You are a great teacher
Thank you! 😃

oh sick, i forgot about spotdodging on approach to bait out things to ty. also sounds good! cant wait@@Chris_F
Daigo is the king of footsies.
Daigoat
Can something like this be applied to kof? or could you do the version of this in kof? I'm struggling to stop over aggressive opponents
I’ll get that video out this week!
What do you do against someone who keeps spamming fireballs when u walk forward and when u jump over it they dp
I have a video about that so check it out!
th-cam.com/video/HuGZv97YDPw/w-d-xo.html
U had to use juri in the fisr fee secs
Usually this works but for me in this game I just get hit with DI every time I try to punish😐
When should I walk backwards and what should I look for.
Walking back can take you out of range of your opponents attacks. You’ll want to look for whiff punish chances and anti airs mostly but I really depends. I’ll cover this in another episode!
ye
Thx!
I became way better thanks to ur videos
I love comments like these!! That’s what keeps me going
E. Honda: what is footsies?
Awesome vid but what do you do against Marisa
Thx for watching!
I’m going to need you to be a bit more specific with your question. What exactly about marisa do you struggle with?
@@Chris_F sorry, I want to know how to close-in on her after she does her Phalanx and Quadriga. Her range makes it hard for me to get close enough to attack her.

Voice volume is a little quiet
Will adjust for next time thx for watching!
Need more
More is coming this week!
I played this for 20 minutes when I bought it uninstalled, now I’m Trina see if it’s good, after I’ve played mk1 and tekken 8
Same here. I just kinda got back into fighting games this year.

Oh it’s not Brian_f 😂
No it’s me Chris 😂
yea think works but its still boring as all hell when they just poke dr grab , jump backwalk until the game is over.
