Normally when I'm teaching my friends something, I don't like to just plop a video on their lap and say "figure it out", but this is a MASSIVE exception. I find this video incredibly useful at showing what freedom you have with this game, I'm a SUCKER for player individuality, and incentivising newbies to build their own combo they can consistently pull off (or optimize for more damage) with the actual knowledge of what the attacks in that combo even do is something I see lacking in most famous resources, and I've been hungry for step-by-step analysis of single combos, I LOVE it. Really leverages down the fear of the accursed training room a bit, and I really feel there's a misconception there about training room not being fun at all (much like any misconception about FG difficulty, though it may just me who likes being a bore-ass that sits in training room practicing the same on combo over and over again and have a blast doing it). "Just claim it was an intentional reset and start a new combo." Amen. I've had friends who I've played other FGs with constantly but Skullgirls never seem to click for them, but hopefully this, along with some extra words of encouragement, can bring back some inspiration to at least dust it off a little for some games. You have my thanks, friend.
OMG incredible, you summarized 60% of what I had doubts about the combo system, the remaining 40% is now practice to know which moves connect with others. Thank you very much!
I never actually playing a fighting game properly, learning combos and everything. After watching the TOP 8 Evo yt video, I thought I might try to get into Skullgirls, but it looks quite daunting... I really don't like labbing, and prefer to practice while "actively" playing. But videos like these really help. I'll try talking it little by little 😂
thank you for one of the most concise and easy to understand primers I've found so far. I haven't played a fighter since the og soul caliber, and had heard Skullgirls was good for learning, which... well, it's still all very opaque! This video has really helped.
I've been having a fighting games fever lately and just picked up Skullgirls on sale (never really got into any fighting games before) and just learning how to play has been a bit overwhelming but I know I need to put in the work!
Loser with the mobile app here. The amount of parallels to the app are remarkable. Otg, framework.. the complexity for what it is is pretty impressive. COMP IS STILL SHIT THO
This is just too much. Way too much. Having individual moves be so meaningless by themselves also just sucks imo. Plus this game has like 200 people playing and most are likely outside of Europe. So it's effectively dead for me. Too bad.
Very few moves in this game will be meaningless by themselves outside of a combo (though there are some). If it feels like too much, then no worries; it just means you're at the stage where you either want to use the basic universal combo of Light Medium Heavy Special Super, or you can use the easy mode combo, like my example for Robo Fortune's easy mode combo. 200 concurrent players is plenty to enjoy a fighting game, and the netcode in the game is good enough that it only KIND OF matters where they are in the world (mostly it just matters that neither of you is on wi-fi). Technically you only need 1 other person to play. There are various Discord communities where you can set up matches, including for Europe, as seen here: www.youtube.com/@skullgirlseurope2423/about Some people just want to hit a matchmaking button and get players at approximately their skill level, and I get that, but with not too much work, the game is far from dead and not too hard to learn.
Care to elaborate? Are you just not at that point in your time with the game where you're ready to move on to bigger combos? Or is there something that the video doesn't explain well enough?
@@ampersandrew-yt i meant my comment in a joking manner btw i’m level 22 and I have Stand out Eliza, I dunno. I’ve just been trying to figure out how to fight bc when I go to “prized fights” I fight people in similar levels as me and I always end up getting pushed to a corner and unable to even block. I play mobile
"Ok i understand"
"Ok i dont understand"
The duality of a man
not even in skullgirls I can escape my math homework 😔 jokes aside, great video! makes me wanna pick up the game again
this is really useful stuff, never thought to do math when labbing

I told you I watched it twice

I've been playing since 2013 and always wondered what the combo stages were but never bothered to google. Now I know. Nice video!
Extremely helpful video, most in-depth and well made explaination I've seen yet

I've been teaching SG to some friends and your videos have been great resources for them! keep up the good work!
Finally learning Skullgirls, I patiently wait for your next video
ive been playing skullgirls for 100+ hours and i still kinda didnt understand ips and undizzy, this is such a massive help
I've been having a fighting games fever lately and just picked up Skullgirls on sale (never really got into any fighting games before) and just learning how to play has been a bit overwhelming but I know I need to put in the work!
uh huh. i see, i dont get it.
Really nice vid and very understandable for a beginner to skugs like me!

you should continue these series I enjoy it even at a pro level
really wish i had this video when i was learning, great vid for community 👍🏾
Great video

Lol
thanks for this amazing video ma dear
I'm really waiting for the training mode video, sometimes being delulu is not an option when find a good sg channel
I know I'm very, very slow at this, but it is almost done.
look bro ima just keep pressing punch and kick
If you're having fun doing that, that's all that matters! If you decide you want to up your game, you can come back to this video later.
@@ampersandrew-yt true, im not built like that tho im a barbaric simple puncher
Do Them’s fighting herds to (also skullgirls is so good)
