Embrace the Delay: Basic Strikes - Get Ready Fight #1

Team NINJA has started putting together an official tutorial series aimed at bringing in players who aren't already members of the FIghting Game community or genre as a whole. They have released their first video of the Get Ready Fight series which goes over Basic Strikes and string input delays.
It is going to take sometime to explain everything but keep in mind this is aimed for people with no experience in fighting games.

Great initiative Team NINJA!

 

[CFW]

This is very good for beginners and people who wanna get into the game. Finally a FIGHTING game.

Why not just embrace the freecancel instead?

Why not just embrace the freecancel instead?

For a beginner this would be already an "advanced" technique; on the opposite imo make more sense how first step to realize the basis of the inputs pressing (including the delay that is a "not pressing" of the ordinary buttons, rather than the addition of a new one).

 

[UncleKitchener]

Just free cancel instead of delaying. This game's delay window is too wide for those sort of delay attempts and you can actually lose critical stun extension attempt.

This is something that should be taught from the basic actually. The sooner a casual player know of this and make it a habit to do it at the right time, the sooner they'd get used to the controls of this game.

Teach them the very basics. Then they will understand better the ability to make it easier on themselves.

In short, I'm sure the next video will teach her that.

That cinematography though... This is like the Citizen Kane of tutorial videos

 

[KING JAIMY]

This is going to be a great series for newcomers to the series or fighting games in general! This is the feedback I posted in the 'Recent Media' section:

This video is quite helpful for newer players. The good thing about this video is that it teaches newer people not to mash and let them learn about delaying their movestrings. Even though the combo advice is not practical (almost all strikes are highs so there's a good chance you will get held somewhere in between), it teaches the newer players the basics of striking their opponent.

I also suggest using H-cancel to cancel your string immediately so you don't have to wait until the string's active frames end. On the other hand, that tactic is quite advanced so it may indeed be a good thing to start off with just waiting and delaying.

Okay, baby steps, I get it.

Glad to see Team Ninja doing this. Loving all the support that this game has gotten from its developer, which is why I keep coming back to DOA and enjoying it.

 

[Princess Kasumi]

finally make DOA into a fighter now.

 

[d3v]

Honestly, teaching beginners how to delay and not mash is a great idea, not just for DOA, but for 3D fighters as a whole. Too many beginners just tend to mash their buttons, not knowing that some timing is involved.

 

[Matt Ponton]

I legit laughed at the "Mash P - [DONT MASH]".

 

[Leeloo]

omg this is iconic

 

[VirtuaKazama]

It's very helpful for beginners

 

[Corza]

I don't think it's possible to do this "combo" in 5U. The 3rd P seems to relaunch now. But maybe I just haven't played Kasumi in a while

Or maybe it's a Last Round change.

 

[Corza]

Or maybe it's a Last Round change.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to.

 

[ChaolanLegacy]

Is it me,or this stage just looks gorgeous in Last Round compared to Ultimate? Anyhow,this is a good way to make people to stop mashing attacks,and get used to the basic gameplay of this game.Hopefully this is the start of a very detailed series of good tutorials for this game.
