Thank… the *gods* someone finally said it. I’ve been saying for years that fighting games need better tutorials. Still, to this day, whenever I get into one, the people I play with insist that it’s just “not part of fighting games” or “it’s not something we really need.” Guys, come on. This is one of the best competitive gaming genres in existence. The fact that you don’t demand better tutorials for your games because it’s not a selling point for _you_ is frankly absurd. You know just as well as I do that these developers can afford it. Why not take these ridiculous story modes and actually turn them into a workable single player experience that slowly allows new players to dip their toes in?

Nothing beats TFH's Story Mode to get people into fighting games. Every NPC-enemy uses a specific pattern, and to beat each one, you have to learn how to punish a specific attack. It teaches you through DOING, and then there's a boss at the end where you have to take everything you learned and use them together.

I've already seen a lot of comments praising TFH's pixel lobby, but it cannot be said enough. It's genuinely the best Lobby system out there, and is what Strive's Lobby should take notes from. It has a few cabinets, but you can also just directly interact with players and jump into a match. On top of that it has ample chat features, a player list with ping, and even randomly spawning chests with currency people can fight over. TFH is the first FG I stuck with for more than a few hours, mostly due to the lobbies being the way they are (and also having a good tutorial, both general mechanics and character specific). It also has classic lobbies and regular matchmaking (though no ranked yet).

I've never played it but I heard thems fighting herds, have basically done most things FGs do as far as UI and stuff and does it better. I remember hearing they have pixel lobbies and they're 10 times better than strives for examples.

As someone who actively plays fighting games, recent games telling me when a move is punishing is already a godsend in my book. As far as the video goes, I think these issues are different on a game-to-game basis. Some games have good tutorials while having bad menus, or good online features but bad netcode indicators, etc. Killer Instinct has a pretty good tutorial, btw. It’s slightly outdated though, and lacks character overviews which is something I think is missing overall nowadays.

I like Strive but it feels like the game doesn't want me to play it online lmao

When both you and your opponent let the intros rock, at least the first time, you know you’ve found someone else of culture as well.

"There's not really a wrong way to watch a movie or read a book unless you're doing it on purpose" That's a pretty bold accusation you're levelling at 1984 readers

One of the best fighting game tutorials is in Them's Fightin' Herds. Yes, the pony game. They really gamefied it and integrated it as part of the story, too. Look into it if you get the chance! The game in general is just a really good package, the devs nailed a lot of the UX stuff.

Rivals of Aether has tutorials for all of its mechanics and tutorials specific to characters and their unique attributes.

TFH's pixel lobby is by far the best user friendly, engaging and interesting lobby system in all FGs right now.

I liked Injustice 2's tutorial. It can be a little dense if you try to slam it out all at once, but it's chockful of mechanical and technical knowledge. It even has short mini tutorials to introduce any character you'd want to try (including dlc).

Them's fightin' herds has the best fighting game tutorial i've seen... i you forget you're playing cattle.

Them's Fightin' Herds has a pretty cool tutorial where it introduces you to concepts gradually throughout the story mode. That game has a really off-putting artstyle but it does a lot right.

I'm always happy to see people talking about Battle for the grid, that game deserves so much more attention.

The tutorial for a fighting game I'll always remember is the one from SoulCalibur 3 (PS2), and i couldn't even understand any of the terms they used back then, but they'd make you do the techniques multiple times to get the "good job star sticker". SC6 Has decent menus i really like, but i believe all matches are done through lobbies

Pokken has the best matchmaking. Freaking Pokken lol.

A good example of a good tutorial is thems fightin herds. Not amazing but when it has a fun tutorial and inky has a super heavy text you have to read when it get ins to examples. I don't remember but it might might you about negative edge

I mean, MB Lumina ain't perfect, but as far as the online experience goes(meaning going in and out of matches), it's been the smoothest FG online experience for me to date. And it's kinda funny and sad, its like that because of how relatively "straightforward/basic" online experience it offers that makes the relatively smooth expirience possible. No shiny bells and whistles, just pick "ranked match" and do either quick find or wait in training and let the matches come through for ya lol

And the funny thing with Strive's lobbies, they were some of the first things people complained about in the game just how awful they were. And despite constant complaints that they just didn't work, Arc Sys stubbornly stuck to them, only doing token improvements here and there.

Them’s Fightin’ Herds has an excellent tutorial. It’s mostly text-based like Skullgirls, but the text is an actual character speaking to you with personality and wit, so it’s not just some educational lecture that you forget in 5 minutes Plus it’ll do things like teach you to block, then hit you with a low attack and make fun of you for it, then teach you to block low and hit you with an overhead and make fun of you AGAIN, so you learn to block high/low mixups OUT OF PURE SPITE- (ahem) no, this is not a personal issue why do you ask?

The fact that Tekken never had a tutorial kind of irked me but I still love that game

How did it take me this long to find your channel? You are absolutely hilarious, concisely edited, *gorgeously edited*, and you speak with a beautifully clear cadence and rhythm. Keep at it man, I would love to see you keep going, or even covering other things besides fighting games.

found your channel recently and am impressed by both humour and the depth of topics you discuss in such a short time frame, big fan

I'm kinda surprised that you didn't mention Xrd's tutorial, seeing at it's actually good. I agree with a lot of points in the video, but I feel like you didn't include other games that do do a good job, like aforementioned Xrd or Them's Fighting Herds. Other than that, I really enjoyed the video! People don't talk about this enough in the fgc despite how a user engages with a game is very important for player retention

Alright, but can we talk about one of the most unique fighting games? (I think) Lethal League Blaze

I'm actually designing an experiment on how to make a good video game tutorial for grad school, and seeing other people seethe over the shit (or non-existent) ones helps me remember that I'm not just wasting my time

Your song make me remember about core a gaming video, your video quality seems as good as he is, but sometimes your video feels "unstructured" (the impression i get from your last video about "power") But hey, dont get me wrong, its still top notch quality to be able to get (almost) "daily" core a gaming quality video, even though sometimes its kinda unstructured, at least its not as bad as leon massey (which is totally unstructured and sometimes i am lost on what he is talking about) Also, sometimes you're focused on just discussing some problem in the fg genre, without actually providing some idea/solution to the problem (in the core a gaming video, they usually provide solution by showing other game that work properly and not having the same issue, fighting game or not, so a non original idea is accepted by me, my most concern is the solution to be logical/applicable, no matter its an original idea or not), overall its a good video and keep up the good work mate taught a lesson about whiff punishing, spacing, not to blindly rushdown opponent - blocker > taught a lesson about guard breaking the opponent, poking, safe poke, (potentially also about mixup, crossup, 7 way but the game cant do such thing) - ordinary guy, basically playing random > lesson about fundies, best tool/option, etc - whiff punisher > lesson about spacing, safely poking, not using unsafe minus move, baiting attack, etc - one hit man, basically spamming unsafe attack > how to punish minus attack, whiff punishing, spacing, etc - rollbacker > how to deal with online environment, whats the best tool fighting laggy player, safest combo route for laggy player, safest way to hit confirming into combo in laggy situation The list could go on and the AI could be vary not only 6 shown in above, for example there's was a video talking about incorporating tutorial in story but it didnt go deep, its MKX or MK9 i forgot, which is lesson about match up within the first match betwen liukang and the final boss (forgot his name also), which basically the boss got answer/tool to mitigated all liukang option to defeat the boss, but in the final fight we fight the boss as raiden who can teleport (which is suddenly solve all the problem we faced before) and due to slow recovery move of the boss then we got enough of time to punish every whiff the boss made This could also extended in match up like= - grappler vs zoner - zoner vs rushdown - rushdown vs grappler - all rounder vs grappler/rushdown/zoner - etc So the tutorial could teach us about specific character matchup like MK9/X, but also could teach a broader strategy/gameplan/winning condition by providing a good AI like footsies that play a certain way to taught some specific lesson (what i mean by AI is a game like injustice should be "projectile heavy game" (like the high level play) but the AI sometimes dumb and not optimizing the fireball attack much, instead the AI could improved by spamming lot of fireball and we were presented in a scenario/story that using a rushdown archetype character that should have a good tool to approach the zoner quickly)

I want a single player fighting game RPG. The entire game is a tutorial of different fighting game mechanics you unlock by leveling up.

Can't speak for the rest of the genre but I feel like Strive and Type Lumina have fine tutorials when combined with announcements like "punish", free training, and CPU matches. As someone new to fighting games I never finished either because they got TOO in depth, and I really didn't need to finish to get going. The only thing they're missing to me is frame data for those who care.

I thing GGXrd rev’s tutorial was fantastic by the standards of an FG, while it didn’t teach absolutely everything it taught most of the useful information in the form of a minigame. If I was designing a game I would expend on this by making a warioware style series of microgames that force you to get used to these mechanics quickly so you not only learn the mechanics but also get to practice them under pressure.

There is a legend that one day two twins will descend down from their holy dev tower in California and bring to the people a Riot fighting game. On this day men will shed tears of joy for finally a fighting game with good UX will have come.

Them's Fightin' Herds has my favorite tutorial.

Pokken Tournament and PTDX have good matchmaking. It takes about as much time to setup an AI match as it does to enter que for online battle, During the que, you are placed in a CPU practice battle against a low-level AI to practice on and warm up, cutting to fight with whoever is available when the opportunity pops up. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, but the standby-battle does an excellent job at keeping you busy.

I think SoulCalibur VI has a good *basic* tutorial. *Basic* because it only covers the basics, for character-specific things you need to either go through trial and error or read walls of text in-game. Which are accessible from the pause menu during matches and in the Gallery section of the main menu. I don't know wether this last part is a good or a bad thing, since I almost fell asleep during the tutorials for Under Night in-Birth, Skullgirls and Melty Blood, but the tutorial in SoulCalibur VI teaches you the basic/common mechanics interactively in a short time so you know what to do when playing and don't fall asleep in the process. The only bad thing aside from going through walls of text for character specific things (if we consider it to be bad) is that the tutorial is actually the first area in the Libra of Soul (side-story) mode, which makes it less intuitive to get to than it should be.

When the persona 4 music kicked in at the end I thought you were gonna pull a switcheroo and talk about that games pretty solid tutorial

Well, you pinpointed the exact root cause for all this: Holdovers from the arcade. In fact, most of the genre's shortcomings and reasons it's so niche are a result of adhering too tightly to tradituon. The devs still design their games with arcade sensibilities and the FGC are so resistant to change that they've discouraged the devs from deviating away from tradition in so many ways. Just look at the most popular MOBA, Lol. It iterated on the first DotA but changed the right things to hit it bigger than DotA2 AND maintain that popularity, becoming the biggest competitive game in the world. Heck, Smash Bros was born from Masahiro Sakurai taking his knowledge and experience with Fatal Fury and KoF and purposefully changing the formula to make a game that is more approachable than (and dwarfs) traditional fighters. Then Brawlhalla iterated on the Smash formula and now has a world championship with twice the prize pool of the largest Street Fighter Cup prize pool as well as 5-10 tim3s the daily active users of the top 5 traditional fighter combined. As long as the core audience lashes out against change and treats offline as the mpst important thing for the genre, improvement/evolution in gameplay and UX will be slow going. FTheor the good of the genre, the FGC has to take the energy they had when pushing for rollback and put that into crossplay, UX, non-competitive content offerings, and gameplay design focus, and then NOT give the devs backlash in changes with approachability in mind. But I don't expect that to happen anytime soon, tbh.

I have only just started to get into fighting games and I have learned a lot from your videos. Your channel is a great resource. Thank you.

@GekkoSquirrel love your videos, keep on grinding my guy

Should have included Guilty Gear Xrd tutorial, which makes a game into pretty much a sidescroller and then goes "by the way, it's a fighting, here's 200 split second mechanics as well as 30+ combos of for each character for you to try out! Have fun!"

Pokken Tournament DX has a nice tutorial and when you open the game for the first time you get a brief description of the modes like the story mode and training area. The training area also has character specific tutorials so players can get an idea about the character's abilities and combo tutorials for those characters.

The SFV demonstrations being in Challenges only makes sense to me cause the combo trials were under a similar title in SF4 haha. Makes sense for them to be with the trials imo. Been loving melty blood lately but got the training mode menu is horrible imo. Teaching people how to play is hella hard cause of the abstract universal concepts of footsies and playing another person theres so much to cover. Blazblue had amazing tutorials but honestly theyre hard to sit through and remember everything.

Why quick start is at the bottom of the second tab instead of being the very first option on the first tab, will continue to befuddle me for the rest of Strive' s lifespan to come

"What's the most important aspect about any game? Well... being able to fucking play it!" -Angry Nintendo Nerd, 2006

I have to say in Xrd I can still remember what everything does and it was my first 2d fighting game so I understand the battling system through a bit of practice now. I play stylish Sol for fun and normal input Baiken when I wanna do S D loops.

6:09 lovin the Monty Python reference

I feel like this is your best video yet! Keep up the good work!!

I've always had the idea of making the story itself act as the tutorial. The basics like punching and kicking, thats done in like a training room with your mentor, before you get thrust to learn from the masters via whatever, whether thats the master dies and you didn't get strong enough, or its a challenge or something. For example, imagine a fighting game metroidvania, where the skills you learn are the reward and they only have stuff that challenge those skills. Neutral? Have the CPU only play neutral and you have to learn around it as an example. Mixups? have a character mostly use mixups teach you about them while learning what moves or combos you're more likely to use in a certain situation. Command inputs? Have the master you learn them from very clearly show their movements before they show up (for instance when learning a shoryuken, have ryu be the master and whenever he's about to do, say, a hadouken during the fight from a far enough distance away. have him crouch, then walk, punch, and then do the hadouken input... or something. I'm not a game designer, but I think making the tutorial part of the story in some way would be more effective than wall of text.

I found that Blazblue Cross-Tag Battle (my first 2D fighting game) actually had pretty good tutorials. It briefly explained the concept, how it can be applied and then let you play around in a training mode with the button command on the side. It also made a tutorial for every character’s unique concepts, moves and playstyle, which I found super helpful as a beginner. The only issue is every other part of UX in the game

I get home from school and I got a gekko squirrel video to make my day

This made me think of those album covers that have no band name or title on them

I remember liking Xrd's tutorial, but I haven't played it in a while

Guilty Gear Xrd Rev had a good tutorial; It gave you fun little minigames to introduce you to the different mechanics and stuff like that. It even had a minigame that had you figure out if you had to block high or low; It was great And then there's Guilty Gear Strive where it literally just says "Here's list of things-- do it."

KILLER INSTINCT WINS AGAIN. Yeah, Killer Instinct (being made by a western developer that isn’t NRS) is actually super well made with great User Experience.

Tekken having no tutorial was the best thing, my friend sat me down, gave me basic tips, and the amazement i had when i learned combo strings on my own or made ones they hadnt seen before, not everyone will enjoy that, but it can work

i think the only good way to make a fighting game tutorial is to force it to happen periodically and between gameplay, which wouldn't be super hard in an arcade/story mode with like alternating tutorials and matches where the matches reinforce things, like start with how to block, then an opponent who uses sweeps and low pokes, then do like an overheads and jump ins tutorial, then fight a guy who crouch blocks excessively, so on so forth. or like make good tutorials, call them challenges and make people play them to raise their ranking when they have enough rank points.

One of the things that I always wanted to have in a tutorial of a FG, is the ability to be able to select the character that I want to use to complete such tutorial. I'm not talking about character tutorials. I'm talking about being able to 1st select a character, and then start the 1st game tutorial with such character. I really think that I will be able to learn spacing, pokes, counters, etc while the game is explaining these concepts to me while using a character that I want to use from the get go, instead of the game forcing me to use Ryu or Scorpion to complete the whole tutorial without any interest in using them as a character online. I don't want to complete the whole Tutorial with Ryu or Scorpion just because the game is forcing me to use them while is explaining the mechanics. I have yet to find a game that allows me to select a character, and complete the main tutorial with it.

i appreciate all the effects u put i your videos i don't sub often but u got mines.... if ur the one editing your videos your extremely talented

My favorite sub genre of KZfaq is British guys talking about fighting games.

The first time I played Accent Core with a friend after getting them into fighting games with strive I invited them through steam and they said "Holy shit this game has basic stream integration"

Dude your videos are great please keep going. This is some great content.

The other genre of video games that I think are as hard to get into as fighting games is Real Time Strategy's like Starcraft 2. But usually RTS's tutorials are simply it's single player campaigns, where they slowly unlock more and more stuff as you go through the story and learn what buildings do and the capabilities of a unit. It's not perfect, as the game want's you to win, and if the multiplayer version get's updated, then some of the things learnt in single player isn't gonna transfer over to multiplayer, and so on and so forth BUT at the very least they know what Man with gun is and how to make them. It's like putting a driver on a race track. They don't know how to race at all, but at least they know how to drive car, compared to someone that doesn't know how to race and drive a car. I'm ass at SC2 MP, but I know how to make an endgame unit like the Battlecruiser because I played single player. There's some funkyness with the two different versions, but it's still a BC. Single player isn't a good teacher, but it helps eases people into the game and get comfortable with the controls.

People see "Press any button" at the main menu and think that's how you play fighting games.

I love hearing "get ready for the next battle" hits me with hectic nostalgia

ive watched all of your videos. please never stop using ordinary days in your videos. it makes me happy every time

I think UNI's tutorial had a good idea with breaking up the tutorial between beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. I wonder if a tutorial like that, but with actual matches (vs a computer or another player) between levels to actually use some of those techniques might work?

Fighting games make the monkey paw curl like crazy, i swear

I believe Mortal Kombat 11 is the only fighting game I know of that has mouse support in menus.... and it has a decent if a bit wordy tutorial. It even has character tutorials where it teaches you tools specific to each character. Is it perfect? Nope. But it was the first tutorial to explain what a "cancel" is in a way where I could understand it beyond "input this other thing really fast".

I've got lots of reasons I've felt fatigued by Fighting Games, but I still love them deep down. Given the prominence of Online, I get so frustrated by the online just flat out not working. I used to LOVE Soul Calibur (particularly because 2 on the Gamecube was my first FG I owned and played substantially), but I just cannot tolerate 6 due to it's online just being terrible. It's just not fun playing a stuttering fighting game, especially when you get opponents who don't use a wired connection. It's like playing a game willingly at sub-30 fps. I can only enjoy Arcade and Libra of the Soul for so long. ALSO... perhaps I'm going to sound stupid here, but with most Fighting Games having a Triple-A price tag these days and having less content and polish in general, broken online, AND multiple season passes (usually comprised of older/cut characters and personally unwanted guests). It just feels discouraging for me. At least not when they're 80$+ Canadian (Triple-A-Pricing), it just feels like the cost of entry is too high for what you get/the quality of certain aspects of the game. But yeah, tutorials need to be better than they are. I always dream of Fighting Games with a "create a guide" system like DoTA 2, where people can assemble guides within the community and upload them and then vote them up so new players can see them and try them out in training or something. I just think it'd be a neat feature because you could have all of these resources directly in the game created by the community. Imagine... instead of using Discord guides exclusively, you could have general mechanics, player made "how to play" guides, BnBs and Top 10 Moves listed directly in the game, or even character strengths and weaknesses, or any gimmicks they have, a description of a character's playstyle written in a concise manner, etc. I know it'd just be more reading essentially, but I just thought it'd be a neat feature. Giving the community of a game more tools within the games they play is never a bad thing I think. Pardon the wall of text. Is a habit of mine lol...

While i 100% agree with almost everything said here. i do want to say. the best tutorial i have played is Guilty Gear XRD Rev2's tutorial. it's not text. it's not stiff. they through uniquely programed challenges your way and just tell you what you might need to know. then let you figure it out based on the way the challenge is moving and then the way the game teaches you is in a Non-fighting-game environment letting you figure out the taught instructions on your own. don't understand? replay the challenge, hop into a match, try what you learned. rinse & repeat. and i genuinely love how it's tutorial is handled. now granted. it's for Xrd and the common opinion i've seen is it's netcode is absolute codswallop but one negative shouldn't cancel out something shining.

Virtua fighter 4 evolution had an amazing tutorial that took you through all the major concepts of the game

I honestly thought your strive avatar was holding a mic, and didn't even realize it was the fishing section.

_buren ngyah_

Bro, I was trying to find SOMETHING that explained V-Trigger in SFV but I couldn't figure out where the hell the tutorial was. KZfaq.

Guilty Gear XRD has pretty solid tutorial and challenges. It was my first real dive into fighting game scene and it helped me understanding the fundamentals

whats even more hilariously stupid about strive’s lobby is that if you go to quick start and queue through training mode, it wont just put you in a queue, it’ll spawn your avatar in the Habbo Hotel and stick you in a “cabinet”. you wont even find a match until someone goes up to your “cabinet” or the game puts two quick match queuers together

I’m super new to fighting games, really only started with strive, so I’ve felt a lot of these issues, especially the tutorial stuff I kid you not, I’ve been writing down whenever the game made me feel like shit solely by bad design choices and I’ve been theory crafting how to fix them So like, the information brick wall that a lot of tutorials have. I thought that a decent way to solve this is have the player play through just the fundamental skills needed to make the game function. Then, have them play some games, and depending on their performance the game will throw some more knowledge at the player once they’ve mastered the techniques needed for that level of play. This could be taken a step farther by having the first basic tutorial->games stay the same, but have the game keep track of what things they’re doing in a match like how much they block, how much they jump around, how much they get thrown, how many jump ins they eat, etc etc, and then the next tutorial they unlock will teach them the tool for those situations like DPs and throw techs and frame data, so they immediately learn how to solve a problem they face and immediately feel a lot better when they stop eating shit because of that problem I speak from experience because I *hated* grabs in strive because I didn’t understand how they worked, then my friend just briefly explained how they worked and how to apply them and I felt *instantly* better once I landed one intentionally There’s tons I’ve been theory crafting, I’ve been thinking a lot about these problems and I wanna see devs make an effort to fix them

I love how you edit your videos.

I think BBTAG has an alright tutorial, teaches you everything you thr basics need to know while also having combo trial and more advanced tech like back dash timing and how Astrals work. Too bad Tactics looks like Chess mode from the icon and the title you get for completing all of it looks bad, but you win some you lose some.

In my childhood I played mortal kombat 1-3, after 20 years I wanted to go back to fighting games. I tried tekken (entry threshold too high, too complex), I tried street fighter (menus and keybinds are garbage) - both without proper practice mode for noobies scared me away. The newer parts of Mortal Kombat are the best when it comes to practice and expierience.

He is an intro skipper, Killer of net codes.

The only fighting game I play at all is Smash. I love Smash, I really do. And while Smash has it's fair share of cons, the pros are really REALLY good imo. Smash doesn't have a playable tutorial, but they got the "How to Play" video that I like a lot. It's not complex, but it's simple and to the point. Training Mode can feel a little barren, but it does have a few things to play with and can be useful to test something out. While that's a little disappointing, it makes up some by having a section of Tips for the game's Mechanics. You can even watch short videos of those mechanics in action, and even watch and learn about character specific mechanics. It does really try to help new players learn the game, but it just makes a couple hard fumbles, and it sucks. But I can respect that they tried

Teach me the ways good sir, your videos are top tier

Thanks a bunch for these

Something I noticed in fighting game videos unless they are talking specifically about mortal kombat they don’t bring it up. I can only assume it has to do with the graphic content of it.

mk11 has a good tutorial, it shows you what a whiff punish, footsies, punish is, how to deal with certain stuff like fireball spam, how to block, *what frame data even is* too bad it got stale for me but the tutorial really is great. there even was a character tutorial that showed how to play each character and some strengths and weaknesses. in general of course but it was extremely helpful.

Soul calibur one has a mission mode that teaches you everything and you can unlock things and learn how to play and feel like you’re advancing at the same time

ive tried so many times to get into fighting games yet immediately get turned off from them due to the fact that i need to google how to just get into a match to begin with but then the fact that most of the time i have to go through some over complicated menus and then i get into a match just to realize i need a fight stick in order to input everything correctly and then when i do everything i need to just to get into a match it turns out its f**king peer to peer then i just quit the only one i got into was smash mainly cause its actually cohesive on how to play and it has more players on then most other fighting games so I'm not getting bodied by the number one player in my country while trying to play a casual match i now smash is a "cAsuAl GamE" but the fact that the party game meant for 9 year old's slumber parties has better user experience than games with multi million dollar esport divisions is just embarrassing

6:10 I remember that jmcrofts tweet lol

another thing about fighting game ux that i feel is p bad, almost every game grandfathers in the super meter at the bottom, adding a very unnecessary skill check of do you know where your meter is, when i feel like they could crame that in with the health bar at the top and give more room to see the actual battle

Playing Tekken 7 online made me realize, that most of all, I personally care about time efficency in a fighting game. The less time it wastes on stuff between the actual fights, the better the UX. All the side stuff, like hobo-hotel or cutesy Xrd/DBF lobbies should be 100% optional, and are not entirely needed. The less BULLSHIT and the more BLAZING you do in a fighting game, the better imo!

Not to Forget the Advertisement of DLC before the Games are Launching, effectively showcasing heldback content^^

Fighting Herds, Guilty Gear Xrd, Dissidia 012, and basically every CyberConnect2 Arena Fighter, prove that all it takes to properly teach players is giving a shit

Rivals has a pretty good tutorial system and an overall easy to navigate menu, so that could be a good example.

had you checked the tutorial from MK11. It’s really solid.

Grid continues to reign supreme

i personally thing the best teacher is practice. i remember going through arcade a lot on UMVC3. my first real fighting game. YOU DONT COUNT SMASH. i got into it because i was in a Phoenix wright tangent those 3 months. but I EARNED KNOWING HOW TO DO A DP MOTION DAMNIT. and i dont think there was a better game to get started. i have yet to play an online match on it.

You can watch this entire video in the time it takes Strive to log in

9:00 I actually didn’t know that happened and now I’m mad. Like why?
