Strategy Whiff Punishing, Footsies, and Fuzzy Guarding. What is it?

Hey guys!

Made a video to explain to some people who may be newer or just want a different angle to go by on what these things are. Enjoy!

Whiff punishing is also how you have to play in order to open the guard of someone who constantly plays safe and with the very least risk as possible, these type of players who hardly commit with punishable moves only let their guard down briefly when they're attacking. Whiff punishing allows you to touch them in between recovery frames when they briefly lower their guard down to exchange the strategy from defense to offense.

When a fighting game player is able to constantly play along with whiff punish, and whiff punishing even the most basic and insignificant moves, is when this player is transiting from average to a very advanced level of play level.

Great video, I honestly feel there aren't enough videos that discuss whiff punishing or fundamentals in the FGC, especially for NRS games.

long time lurker trying to level up. Awesome video. Would be great if you discussed more defensive options in the same format (like os'ing armor, dealing with cross-ups, etc.) in another video.
