The concept of footsies can be elusive. We all know what it is, but when it comes to passing on the information to newcomers in a meaningful way, finding the right words can be difficult. And even with the proper words, taking that information, processing it, and then applying it in a match takes time for those just getting started.
Even so, having good tutorials can help ease the learning process. Since one quick video doesn’t even scratch the surface of this important part of every fighting game, jmcrofts is dedicating a series to presenting Street Fighter V footsies to those who’ve just picked up the game. The first two videos, which you can find below, demonstrate the art of whiff punishing and The Shimmy, which has proven to be one of the more popular terms in the world of commentary since the game’s launch.
So brush up on the basics yourself, or pass along these videos to the new folks in your local scene.
