SFV: Rising Up, Part 0 - What ARE Fighting Games?
468Bafael with part 0 of my Rising Up series, intending to help new players pick up SFV as their first fighting game and begin playing seriously. The goal of this initial video is to make something fighting game players can easily show non-fighting-game players, to help explain what exactly fighting games are through the eyes of a veteran and to dispel some myths regarding the genre. So if you like it, please share with your friends!

Some great fighting game moments:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM Evo moment 37, one of the most famous high-skill, clutch comebacks in the history of FGs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD_imYhNoQ4 showing just how potent two characters are against one in Melee doubles, amazing teamwork.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAdtFRs2yhA Justin Wong making an incredible 1 to 3 comeback in MvC2 using an anchor character who can't traditionally compete with the top tiers, in a game where one character is considered near helpless against two.
https://youtu.be/MaayMKIJheU?t=116 One of the strangest and most amazing displays of showmanship I've ever seen in. Poongko was known for removing distracting articles of clothing during intense matches, and here his opponent takes off his shirt to try to get Poongko to remove his own.
https://youtu.be/0MJmbozmsis?t=8m31s Woshige wins one round and loses one round of the last match of his tournament set, but gets up celebrating thinking he won both...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIgNHeFSwGY My own personal favorite fighting game replay. Fantastic comebacks, amazing combos, high level strategy, skill, and prediction from both players. A killer third round.
https://youtu.be/wE9gLVAf55A?t=498 A very old SF4 match, one of the first times I remember really getting excited from tournament footage.
https://youtu.be/wMHc32ygldk?t=122 One player makes a crucial mistake, the other does an ultra combo to punish it, both sides get up during the match end celebration, but a little prematurely...
https://youtu.be/NQs8NjzQZIY?t=42 MyGod leaves his opponent with only a pixel of health and tries to turtle out the remainder of the match, but cracks under timer pressure. One of the biggest comebacks I've seen in any tournament.
