Them’s Fightin’ Herds Beginner’s Guide – 18 Tips for New Players (TFH)
126Welcome to Them’s Fightin’ Herds! This indie fighter is cute on the surface, but it has many nuanced mechanics that can be overwhelming for newcomers. Now, I’m sure there are plenty of videos and websites that have tips for getting into the game, but I wanted to offer some advice of my own. Is it because I’m a skilled player? Heck no, I’m a rookie! But I’ve learned all sorts of things by watching tournaments of the game and playing it casually, things that some seasoned fighters might take for granted. So, here’s advice coming from one beginner to another.
Much of the footage in this video was captured while fighting computer opponents. If you see huge amounts of skill on the screen, it’s probably the AI doing its thing or a sample combo playing in Training Mode. But hey, I did pull off some neat stuff and learn more about the game as I put hours and hours into making this video. (It was made with version 3.1 of the Steam game.)
I should also point out that much of the footage was done in Training Mode with infinite super meter or magic on. So, if you notice a character use their super or magic but the corresponding meter doesn’t deplete, that’s why.
I’m sorry that I don’t have a good microphone for the narration.
