Street Fighter 6 is my first traditional fighter game ive ever actually wanted to play and i want to get good enough to enter tournements. i will be watching these to learn
I am glad I found this video. I never knew what neutral or footsies really was or looked like until I faced a masters player in battlehub while being a low rank player. He basically destroyed me just by being patient and punishing my normals that I was randomly throwing out. He didn't rely on specials, DIs or DR cancels. This really opened up my eyes on what I need to work on once I get past the gimmicks and learning some frame data.
Its simply amazing how well those old sonic hurricane writings have held up after all these years. Thats the beauty of fighting games how after all these years the core fundamentals of street fighter have changed so little over time
Thank you so much Mikey. I just stumbled on this video on my feed and watched, it changed everything. I hit Master the first day after implementing. A better neutral was holding me back the whole time. I thought i wasn't using the drive system properly was holding me back. All i needed was a solid understanding of chapter1-4 to complete my style. Thanks again
hey I just started watching your content. SF6 is my first Street Fighter and basically my first ever "real" fighting game (I played lots of Smash but yk) and I just wanna say thank you so much for making these and translating the footsies handbook directly into SF6. your explanations are very clear and concise! I play (modern) Cammy and I'm trying to integrate this into my gameplay :D
No problem! Glad the vids are helping. Also, Smash fundies are super hard to get good at as well, don't let them try to convince you it's not a "real" fighting game 😏
Thank you so much! Great explanation, very helpful for all the beginners (myself included) that are new to street fighter who are picking up SF6. Can’t wait for part 2!
So I know you are technically following a script/guide here, but i gotta say your videos are such a delightful style of free flow, yet informative and engaging that it really makes you stand out to me. Great job on these last few vids, hope they keep coming for a while!
I started to learn the techs in FGs in 2017 on SF5. Luckly, a friend of mine really early on teached me these concepts and the game evolved right before my eyes. You start to appreciate the neutral game so much. It's a fence match, so cool
i just started playing this game online and there's a lot to get used to, from character specific things to general mechanics, but this seems to be a good way to keep things simple and effective to focus on, and then develop from that. keep these coming please!!
Nice! To be honest I'd focus on the little things first like just learning your character and what other characters are doing, the game mechanics etc. But once you're comfortable with the game, these are definitely the things you will want to focus on. Hope you enjoy your time with SF. Super fun game and it's very satisfying to improve in
Thank your bringing more awareness on such an overlooked part of street fighter. People tend to focus so much on flashy combos and gimmicks but the heart and soul of street fighter has always and will always be about learning solid fundamentals and a deep understanding of the neutral
Fantastic explanation and examples of good footsies! It's very cool that you're doing a guided video breakdown of such oldschool essential material to learning neutral in Street Fighter. Neutral is all mind games, it's not the same game as escaping pressure, or hitting your fat combos off hit confirms. It's all about conditioning your opponent, and it's a very complex concept, that's much harder to just practice in the lab. You gotta get a sparring partner, go online or go to locals.
Great video, looking forward to part two. I've known about footsies since I really started to pay attention to the FGC back in the early SF4 days. But actually understanding it and implementing it into my game never really happened, mostly because I haven't played enough. I'm playing a ton of Street Fighter 6 and specifically with Cammy so this is perfect for me. Keep up the good work.
ahaha I watched the clip of the SF2 Guile and Ken clip before you played it in your vid, and was wondering why Ken was DPing so much. 5 Seconds later you answered the question! Amazing video, thanks for the content.
Haha, one of the reason I wanted to make this video series! So many good clips from old games but they aren't easy to understand if SF5/6 are your first entries.
I watched this video when it came out and didn't understand anything. I was Bronze with Classic Cammy. Two weeks later I am Gold with Modern Luke and rewatching the video. Very clear explanations, thank you Mikey. I'm subscribed for the future chapters!
This is really well explained! I've been playing these games since we stumbled across the newly released SF2 at a service station, and I have learned SO much in the last 12 minutes! Please keep making them! Also, really loving the throwback references to where these strategies evolved from.... Who knew!?
You explain all of this so well! This really illustrates how much of a rift there is between players like myself and higher level players simply based on the amount of critical analysis they can do about their opponent and what they are thinking. Thanks for helping us take these steps to become stronger fighting game players!
Playing a wide variety of 2d fighters will make you such a better player overall. You will definitely learn concepts in this game that you can bring back to your anime games also. Get striving to reach your full potential brother
Great guide thanks a lot, I think it's worth to mention to people to be careful if they drive parry because the opponent is pushed back less by the hit
Got you a like and subscription. Fought a Plat Ryu and he was moving back n forth like mad. I be trying to whiff punish too but his movement seemed with intent and patience. So here I am lol
Haha, no matter how good you get at the fundamentals, there will always be people who feel hard to get a read on or lock down. But the more you know the more likely you'll have an answer to try on them haha. Hope the vids help out!
This is my first street fighter and I’m not a familiar with fighting games and the strategies. I’m really fascinated with how much depth there is to playing these games and I’m excited to learn more. Thanks for the video!
something im trying to do is ask myself why i am doing something. i would always just press buttons in neutral because thats all it looks like ppl do on the surface. but in reality it's for what you've explained here. i'll be trying to incorporate these things into my gameplay.
Dude thank you a lot really , I play Cammy on Modern Control not otimal but i enjoy a lot because she is cool and this video help me a lot for the moment i saw this video i understand about not need to rush thing play calm and neutra and wait for the my turn, still hard to now when my turn but out of 10 try 6 works
You know what this video made me search but couldn't find? A video on the most common pokes of all the characters. I know it can be compiled from stuff I have in different playlists, but a 5 minute video would work wonders.
I really appreciate your content. I went through that footsies guide over a decade ago when I was trying to master sf4, after dabbling at a pretty low level in third strike. I know you were trying to be funny, and didn’t mean anything by it, but I didn’t like the “boomer games” comment at 0:56. I’m assuming you know that word has become a derogatory slang term for older generations that are completely out of touch with the needs of younger generations and the sadly common narrow-mindedness we see from the baby boomers. The games shown in that guide were shown because those games were the platform where a lot of those concepts were discovered and developed. I really hope the FGC isn’t shifting into becoming an agist space where older gamers who fell in love with street fighter two in the mid 90s and created the competitive scene are shunned as not belonging or having the physical ability to compete. Fighting games are for everyone. Evo showed us that even a blind person can compete in these games. Kindly asking we stay away from disrespectful terms like that when it comes to certain areas of fighting game history.
this helped allot the 2 thing helped allot tbh i play manon and use standing heavy kick spacing it out then they do a fierce or try to punish then it whiffs so i can combo then i use standing heavy kick and dash in to grab to a 50/50
I try to do it sometimes but i either get hit by the tip of it when he walks forward a bit and i dont see it, or he whiffs and i try and whiff punish but im too far
new fighting game player here. footsies/neutral game is probably the only thing i'd say i'm decent at. basically just being patient... now EVERYTHING else? i'm hella trash at lol. great video tho.
Boomer here.. In the HF clip you showed, the Ken player isn’t using the DP as a poke, he’s trying to punish Guile’s cr. forward. But there’s no cr forward you say… You’ve not seen the whole set- that was the second match in the set and in the first match, Mike ‘conditioned’ the Ken player by throwing out the cr forward a lot and then totally switched his play in the second match.
One thing you didn't mention with Cammy is her drill. You can use it similarly to how you showed Jamie's palm, although it's not nearly as useful. Of course it has to be done from farther away also, but if spaced correctly, it will be safe and/or just minus. It's not something I'd use often since it's not a low like in SF4 anymore, but it's good to know about and it can catch opponents off guard from up to almost full screen.
Also you can space the light spiral arrow so it's just barely whiffs and you can immediately grab your opponent when they try and block it. I've had alot of success with that
@@PortCityBalrog Hmm, good thing to keep in mind to maybe use sparingly, but at the higher ranks and definitely in Master, people are good at whiff punishing.
I've now reached Platinum 2 and feel like I'm just beginning to umderstand fighting games.
Haha it's a great feeling! Good job on the climb
you have changed the trajectory of my fighting game experience, thanks bro
It is so awesome seeing new generations discover the footsie game. It completely changes and enhances your understanding of fighting games!
Street Fighter 6 is my first traditional fighter game ive ever actually wanted to play and i want to get good enough to enter tournements. i will be watching these to learn

This really opened up my eyes on what I need to work on once I get past the gimmicks and learning some frame data.
Sometimes understanding this concept can be hard. Thanks for explaining visually.
Awesome Luke Cosplay! xD

Thank you very! Appreciate that a lot and I definitely plan to keep them coming 😁
Good to see another upload from you and I’m excited to see more!!
I started to learn the techs in FGs in 2017 on SF5. Luckly, a friend of mine really early on teached me these concepts and the game evolved right before my eyes. You start to appreciate the neutral game so much. It's a fence match, so cool
Yo I really need the continuation of this series man... literally feel in love with the game now
As a total noob to SF6, this was great info. I will incorporate this into my practice sessions. Thx. Looking forward to the next installment!!

Broooooo your fighting game tips are always so good! Much appreciated! I suck at street fighter and this makes me want to play it more and get better!
Appreciate the kinds words! Really recommend sticking at it! SF's a super fun game to slowly learn
You sir have got yourself a new subscriber. I haven't read this thing in years. Nice to have you go through it again
Great video, looking forward to part two. I've known about footsies since I really started to pay attention to the FGC back in the early SF4 days. But actually understanding it and implementing it into my game never really happened, mostly because I haven't played enough. I'm playing a ton of Street Fighter 6 and specifically with Cammy so this is perfect for me. Keep up the good work.
I can relate, I myself have picked up Cammy in 6 and have been working really hard to become the best Cammy player that I can possibly be
ahaha I watched the clip of the SF2 Guile and Ken clip before you played it in your vid, and was wondering why Ken was DPing so much. 5 Seconds later you answered the question! Amazing video, thanks for the content.

Awesome to hear! Love hearing about people's climbs through the ranks. Keep it up and you'll be plat in no time
This is really well explained! I've been playing these games since we stumbled across the newly released SF2 at a service station, and I have learned SO much in the last 12 minutes! Please keep making them!
Also, really loving the throwback references to where these strategies evolved from.... Who knew!?
Your so positive, we will be the gods, he wont be the only one whos the footsies god, extremely helpfull explanation!!!
Haha thank you! I genuinely everyone can get waaaaay better at FGs, its just overwhelming to find out how
You explain all of this so well! This really illustrates how much of a rift there is between players like myself and higher level players simply based on the amount of critical analysis they can do about their opponent and what they are thinking.

This feels like a great series in the making. “Liked” and “Subscribed” looking forward to watching more.
"watching"
"fraysaur"
Dude this video is very good, ive seen the material you are sourcing but you explained it in a very good way.
Glad it helped! I think showing examples in SF6 will make a lot of the examples easier to understand, so it's something I want to keep doing.
I've only really played anime fighters so grounded neutral is weak for me, this was extremely helpful
Playing a wide variety of 2d fighters will make you such a better player overall. You will definitely learn concepts in this game that you can bring back to your anime games also. Get striving to reach your full potential brother
HE'S BACK
I’ve played fighting games for a long time, but you break things down so directly and simply. I always get humbled and realize I have more to learn😅 🙏
Great guide thanks a lot, I think it's worth to mention to people to be careful if they drive parry because the opponent is pushed back less by the hit
Wow. I didn't even know that there was a Handbook on Footsie. I just pressed the Sun button and Like button! Great Video
Good tutorial I always recommend the footsies handbook to improve your neutral game
anxious for the next part! thx
Thank you for this amazing video! I am waiting for more, please!
I have absolutely no idea what's going on right now but the ST6 theme song told me not to give up
Got you a like and subscription. Fought a Plat Ryu and he was moving back n forth like mad.
I be trying to whiff punish too but his movement seemed with intent and patience. So here I am lol
Haha, no matter how good you get at the fundamentals, there will always be people who feel hard to get a read on or lock down. But the more you know the more likely you'll have an answer to try on them haha. Hope the vids help out!
This is my first street fighter and I’m not a familiar with fighting games and the strategies. I’m really fascinated with how much depth there is to playing these games and I’m excited to learn more. Thanks for the video!
This is the video I needed, great explanation
Yea, please do more. This was very helpful.
You’re back!
Great video looking forward to more, appreciate it man
Great idea. Seeing examples in sf6 is great
hell ya man this is the guide i was looking for
Here from Smash, But always love your content man
something im trying to do is ask myself why i am doing something. i would always just press buttons in neutral because thats all it looks like ppl do on the surface. but in reality it's for what you've explained here. i'll be trying to incorporate these things into my gameplay.
Man I’d really love all the chapters! Very helpful
i've done this a lot on mk11. Really helpful.
This guide is awesome. Thanks Mike!
Subscribed to make sure I don’t miss part 2
Appreciate it!
Wow this is great ! It would be cool to see full matches breakdown too I think
I subscribe him from this very VDO! This content is really a pro building from fundamental and im looking more for it!!!!!
Great video. Subbed to see the rest
Great video and breakdown. Looking forward to the rest of the series
as a guile player that hyper fighting video was beautiful
Dude insanely good video thank you
Dude thank you a lot really , I play Cammy on Modern Control not otimal but i enjoy a lot because she is cool and this video help me a lot for the moment i saw this video i understand about not need to rush thing play calm and neutra and wait for the my turn, still hard to now when my turn but out of 10 try 6 works
I think Modern is definitely viable! Glad it could help and yeah if I had to give some advice to people learning SF it's that patience pays off a lot!
My smash/strive goat
The footsies handbook is such a good resource after all this time
I can't wait to copy paste this stuff to blow up Kboomafoo!
You know what this video made me search but couldn't find? A video on the most common pokes of all the characters. I know it can be compiled from stuff I have in different playlists, but a 5 minute video would work wonders.
explained very well thank you
This was so good pls make more
So good stuff bro tankyou so much I learn a lot with the video let’s go 👊
LUKE NOT PLAYING LUKE ?! SICK VIDEO MAN!!

When I saw sonichurricane I knew this guide was legit
Thanks, Luke!
Thanks man your getting me good
Glad its helping!
This is probably why my characters are stuck in silver, i didn't know any of this coming in as a new player. Thank you.
this helped allot the 2 thing helped allot tbh i play manon and use standing heavy kick spacing it out then they do a fierce or try to punish then it whiffs so i can combo then i use standing heavy kick and dash in to grab to a 50/50
Should be good for newer players. I think this is a clear explanation of sajams 3 pillars of neutral video
Damn i wish dahlsim could utlizie these mechanics seems super fun
Having a slow walkspeed definitely limits him for some of the things talked about in this series, but there's plenty of stuff he still can do as well!
dhalsim still has some super goofy stuff thats cool asf stick with it :D
Next video could be how to practice these! Nice vid
This is amazing. Subbed. I learned so much!
Haha glad it helped and thank you!
I try to do it sometimes but i either get hit by the tip of it when he walks forward a bit and i dont see it, or he whiffs and i try and whiff punish but im too far
Thank you !
Xenoblade music
very helpful
The example two that you gave, that you said never happened to you, literally happened to me today 😂
new fighting game player here. footsies/neutral game is probably the only thing i'd say i'm decent at. basically just being patient... now EVERYTHING else? i'm hella trash at lol. great video tho.
Thank you for this, my neutral is built around Tekken so I've been getting whooped in SF6
Haha yea, as someone who started with SF, I tried Tekken when T7 came out and was completely lost. Hope this helps you out!
Yea 3d and 2d fighters while having a few overlapping ideas like oki are so drastically different. It's really two completely different skill sets
And I subbed w/ both my accounts 😂 good stuff 🤙🏾
Haha thank you! Really appreciated
Need to learn it, because I learn I need to be patient in a fighting game
Genius stuff
So helpful…. Tytyty
PRICELESS KNOWLEDGE

I’ve been playing SF2 since the arcades way back when, I never knew there was a name for this lol
nice infooo
Nice mate 🤙
yea.. he gets it!

"I walk up, walk back, walk up and BOOM. It worked!"
*gets wake-up dp'd 😢
I do the walk forward walk back on bronze bracket but people know and they dont DP so I can't punish (x
Can i press a random button for whiff punish or i have to wait for the enemy to make a whiff to then commit with the punish?
