Fighting games should just add this video to their tutorial sections.

I would be more insterested in a video about why button mashing does work. Everyone knows why it doesn’t work, but a lot of times im playing someone who button mashes and their timing so so weird and different that they win.

Button mashing works because of your lack of knowledge. It wouldn't work if you knew what you were doing.
Or if it works when you do know what you're doing then it won't work for long because you'd adapt your gameplay to let that person hang themselves

If neither player knows what the moves do, then the player who is on the offensive will win.
This is because some moves will be lows and some will be throws. If you don't know them, you can't defend against them.
You can't be patient, block and punish if you don't know how to block and how to punish.
Therefore, the winner is who attacks more often.

I know this is a repost but it was last posted a while before Evo and people don't even check the sticky first so I don't expect them to have seen this

Even when I click this it tells me to get a "google apps" account.... I'm signed in both the browser and mobile, is it just me??

Why is this age-blocked??

Gerald had a weird run in with YouTube demonetization over this video, so he kept the original version up with an age gate and uploaded a "family friendly" version that would be monetized.
They're both the same video, the only difference is like 2 shots.

Oh man I should have posted the one that isn't age gated so people without accounts could watch. I'll put it in my comment
