*EDIT* If you are coming here to this video now keep in mind pretty much everything is still applicable! However newer mechanics like V-Shift have been added after the video went live, but other than that all the core fundamentals are the same, enjoy! So here we are with a beginners guide for SFV! Lots of new blood what with the game going on PSN+ and honestly I shoulda had this up a few days ago to meet with the launch of that so my bad. Few notes 1) Even though its 40 minutes long there is still so much more I coulda mentioned as there is a lot of depth to how SFV works so this is as far as I am concerned, the absolute barebone basics to get you started. 2) Please check the link in the vid description for the CFN site that gives you all frame data and move properties as it will help your learning! 3) There's a few audio gremlins and I am sorry for that, but I didn't have time to re-record those so please forgive me on that. I hope this video helps! *EDIT* This video was made before the Season V patch, so nothing on V-shift, just fyi!
It's crazy how I just got back into playing the game a couple days ago because of a tournament and I was searching all over youtube for videos like this and you post this at the right time I need it. Thanks
My god this is absolutely amazing. I love the anime but never got in to the game becuase i could never grasp all this stuff. I will be giving it another go and appreciated your in depth review.
My fingers end up being jittery so I frequently misplay buttons and movement regardless if I'm on stick or pad. I'll circle back to this to try for better finger and motion placements w. Tekken, Uniclr, GGS, GBFV, FExL & SFIII.
I CANT BELIEVE I JUST RAN INTO YOU AGAIN, I REMEMBER YOU WHEN YOU HAD REALLY LOW SUBS MAN I AM ECSTATIC AND HAPPY FOR YOU IDK MAN THIS HYPES ME UP I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOUR* PROGRESSION COME THRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
every game is different for everyone haha. No shame in it. Think of fighting games as "languages". Many can have a lot of shared concepts, but they are in the end their own thing. That said keep at it! Its very rewarding to learn
Im with you. Im pretty decent at tekken, mortal kombat and most fighting games. I just cant seem to put it together with street fighter or king of fighters. Street fighter seems so hard to me.
I start playing Hit, you make a Hit guide. Then i start playing Ginyu, you make a Ginyu guide, now i buy Street Fighter V, you make a beginner's guide for it. Are you omnipresent or something? '-' Always a handy guide every week, thanks a lot.
I've been a SSB4/SSBU weasel for quite a few years now, but the SF6 reveal convinced me to finally take the plunge into some deeper waters. I just wanted to pile on with everyone else and say that this was exceptionally helpful, and I really appreciate you making it. I already know a lot of the terminology within the FGC and I understood the most basic basics of how these games work, but the foggier mechanics that SFV does a less-than-ideal job of explaining were way more approachable here. I know how hard it can be to explain these sorts of games, but you really killed it here!
I remember when I first got SFV I was so stunned to find out the combos and controls are so different from MK’s controls I’m so used to those basic controls 😭😭😭 this video really helps
I originally got into your channel because of DB Fighters Z. Great game, but after while I felt I needed something more conventional and fair. So I've been playing SFV religiously since June. So glad that you decided to make this video. Please make more Street Fighter content. There's always more to learn from you seasoned fighting game players
I only got this game because of how great your SF6 videos have been. Here I am kinda lost, low and behold you have a whole ass GUIDE for SF5 lol. Your the man Roof! Been following you since DBFZ S3, my first real FG. 🤘
This is one of the fighting games I've wanted to try, and I also got into fighters in general thanks to Dragon Ball FighterZ. So this is incredibly useful to me and I just want you to know that you're a huge factor that I'm so into fighters today. Thanks, Rooflemonger!!
Almost a year later and this is still a valuable jem, the game has gotten even better with its new characters and is probably in the best state its ever been in , still a very active player base betwern PlayStation and PC with crossplay
It has crossplay with Playstation? That just sealed the deal, gonna buy it on the halloween sale! I love fighting games but playing them on PC has been historically a miserable experience, as the playerbase on the PC versions of these games die in a matter of weeks, while the console stays strong for years.
From 15 years of tekken to street figter i struggle a lot xD That video help me a lot cuz i can understand things like whiff punish and frames but its a very different game overhaul so thx bro
Roofle you're amazing for this! I bought SFV back in season 2. I tried learning how to play and ended up so lost and confused I just gave up. I was literally just thinking yesterday about how I wanted to try to get back into SFV. This is perfect timing! Keep up the good work!
Tekken has been the only fighting game I play but decided to pick up sfv because it's improved a lot. Boy, I'm totally lost so this guide is a life saver!
I usually don’t like videos or leave comments but DAMN is this a good guide. I’ve tried and failed to get into SF for years and am only now actually pulling it off. About to enter silver with Sakura, and your guide is immensely helpful even after a few hours with the game. So glad I’m getting into it now because it’s such a good looking and fun game.
yea despite the warning i still picked up juri and used her as my main to learn. I will say, if you really vibe with a fighter even if they are hard, you can learn them and use them to a basic level. It may take a little longer, but having fun and enjoying your character makes the learn way more fun.
It can be tough! But also very rewarding. There's a reason why so many people play street fighter for life, because there's nothing quite like a solid fighting game.
@@ailsamacintosh7896 its different for every character, for example bolrog's is two quarter circles and a punch. if you go into training mode in the pause menu there is also an option to look at a list of moves including CA's. good luck :)
After watching High Score Girl I decided to pickup SF5 champion edition. Having a really good time and lots to learn with this one. Very helpful video.
It's so weird I'm good at Tekken, Mortal Kombat, and FighterZ but the combos for SF have always had me stumped I could do some stuff in SFIV but 5 has me stumped. This helps a lot dude keep up the work
Thank you so much for this guide! Of particular help was explaining all the terminology I've seen being thrown around in other videos. Best starter video I've seen 👍
Always been a ST fan but due to economical problems i never had the possibility to buy a PS4 or PC strong enough to play SFV. I have tried the game this summer and fell in love with it immediatley even my friends started playing it. I love the V-System and can't w8 to enjoy season 5. Thanks for this guide man
I did a big intro to SFV (this was around the end of season 2) for my esports club back in college, my proudest moment yet. I'm always down to refresh the fundamentals.
Just recently got into fighting games in general. Loved mortal kombat 11 and now going to check this one out. Thos two series seem to be the most satisfying
Great video for ppl that know how to play fighting games but never played SFV. I am glad i found one was rly kinda hard tbh... such a helpful video. thanks
I started playing this game back in June. I loved playing fighting games when I was a kid. ( so back in the day playing SF 2 & SF 3. MK 1, 2 & 3. MvsC, Tekken 1, 2 & 3, Bushido Blade) As time passed I ended up playing mostly MK games (and Injustice), and then not even really playing any during the MK X era, but When I saw the trailer for MK 11 I got that FG itch again. Looked for some good UA-cam videos, found your videos and loved them. That turned into me watching a lot of them (MK or not) because I loved how you broke the games down and made it so much more then the elite pro players and the rest of us button mashers. Made me want to learn actual technique, and play more than just NRS games. So I got SFV and GG Xrd Rev 2 and have been playing them for the past few months. Seriously thinking of getting DBZF too, and I can’t wait for GG Strive to come out. This was a very long way of saying, thank you not just for your videos, but for reigniting my FG fire and making a lot more fun then it was before. Much love to you my friend!
Superb video. Really insightful and so helpful. I last played a Street fighter game more than casually in the 90’s (SNES - Turbo. I am that old!). Lots of changes! But the old moves and combos still work and I have had some success sticking to the core characters like Ryu, Ken and Guile even in ranked play. This guide should help me improve more on the new elements - I keep coming back to it! Thanks again for publishing this 👍👍
This is a great guide! Since I got a PS4 recently, I’m picking this up soon, and this guides has helped me understand v triggers and Crush counters, since those puzzled me for the longest time, definitely gonna main Seth. Thanks!
After playing the Guilty Gear -Strive- beta all weekend I heard SFV had fun new updates, but I didn't really know how to get started getting into this game so thank you so much for this beginner/refresher guide! FG hype train let's go!!!
This is great, thanks Roof. I'll have to download the game and give it some practice again. SF is really difficult for me, but I'll give it another try!
Had SFV since season 2-3ish had so much trouble trying to pick up the combo system and frame data, was never used to this coming from the old school MvC 1-2 and Alpha series lol this video is making me want to give it another shot!
thanks a lot for this guide ! just bought sfv passing from tekken , but i picked juri , and i think ima keep , i picked the game mostly bcuz of her , and i just love how she feels , still hard doe but time will come !
I started playing SFV when the final version came out. Never played a SF game before, but it feels very grounded and footsies based. I actually really like how much more methodical it is compared to DB FighterZ.
Last Street fighter I played decently was SF III third strike back in the arcades, I could never get hyped for SF V, but now that is free there is no excuse.
As SFV was on Sale for 5€, I wanted to try it and I definitely like it a lot, but still try to figure out everything, thanks for the guide, I also want to get into fighting games in general again after having played a bit of Tekken and DB FighterZ. I also got Guilty Gear Strive on sale now and also really like it, I think I will spend much time on both games and look forward to checking out more guides from you. Glad I found your channel
In over 10 years of playing/following fighting games, I've never heard "whiff cancelling" used in the way that you use it here. Whiff cancelling usually refers to the ability to cancel a normal into a special without hitting the opponent, which doesn't occur -at all- in Street Fighter. What you're talking about, inputting a normal + special to whiff punish, is typically referred to as a "buffered special", "super buffer" (usually used in 3S, specifically for supers of course), or "hit confirm" depending on the normal. EDIT: Kara-cancelling is totally a thing in Street Fighter, which is whiff cancelling startup frames of select (command) normals. Sagat's df.LK xx tiger knee is a classic example.
In over 25 years of playing fighting games I have never heard whiff canceling used in any way other than the way I used it. So that's on you I guess? You are buffering sure, but its buffering the whiff cancel.
@@Rooflemonger You're definitely wrong on this tho. Whiff cancelling has always been the ability to cancel a whiffed normal into a special or a super (or other things depending on the game). It only exists in few fighting games, DBFZ being an example with normals being whiff-cancellable into vanish for example. I believe it's also a thing in Melty Blood as well as King of Fighters and maybe other games I'm not too familiar with. What you're talking about in your video is just an option select for easy hit confirms.
@@frey79 being special cancelable on whiff is not the same thing, in fact quite the opposite, neither does it have anything to do with vanish as thats a universal mechanic in DBFZ. I am not "definitely in the wrong" on this. Its also not a hitconfirm at all, also the opposite of that, hit confirming is a 100% differing thing.
@@Rooflemonger You didn't understand my comment at all. What I said is that YOUR definition of whiff cancelling is wrong. I used DBFZ's vanish as an example of whiff cancelling. I also said "[...] into a special or a super (OR OTHER THINGS DEPENDING ON THE GAME)". It can be command normals or other things. The fact is, whiff cancelling is the action of cancelling a move that whiffed into another move. Something very rare in fighting games (as I said some form of it is possible in melty blood and KoF) and not possible in SFV. What you're calling "whiff cancelling" is just buffering the special/super during the whiffed normal's animation. If your move whiffs, the special/super doesn't come out since it CAN'T cancel into it on whiff. That's called an option select and its purpose is hit-confirms without having to react to the normal hitting the opponent. That's what you're saying in the video and it's just that. An option select. Whiff cancelling is completely opposite of that and would in fact make this option select impossible.
Your video is very clear and extremely useful... though one thing that's missing from the game, is a slow down training mode... in which we can see everything slowler as we play and get kind of QTE prompts when a move can link into another, and be able to make it progressively faster... Because right now, even though i understand what you''re saying, as of now, my body is just not physically able to do moves fast enough and with proper timing to perform most of those combos. lol Most game's stories ease the Player through gameplay by teaching mechanics progressively, but that's always been missing in fighting games, and that's really sad, because it makes, us, intrested newbs, completely unable to get in.
Everything went in one ear and out the other, i felt like i learnt something but i canr remember it for the life of me. Still good vid, was educational in the way of fighting games
Here after the big game sales and sf5 at 8 bucks on the ps4. This game is so hard, i practice combos on the trials but on matches they never land even after the first steps. That's really just my issue, but this guide is helpful!
Thank you for this. I just downloaded the ps4 version onto my ps5 today. Watched this all the way through while the update is downloading. When I started playing I looked again to see how to do the V counter. I watched it a few times before realizing you don’t actually say HOW to do it! Lol
I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros for years, and I thought this would be a lot like Mortal Kombat, but it’s apparently much different 😭 excited to play and learn though!
*EDIT* If you are coming here to this video now keep in mind pretty much everything is still applicable! However newer mechanics like V-Shift have been added after the video went live, but other than that all the core fundamentals are the same, enjoy!

I kill at Tekken 7 but Street Fighter 5 has me stumped. It's strange because people say Tekken 7 is way harder but I find SFV solid as hell lol.
every game is different for everyone haha. No shame in it. Think of fighting games as "languages". Many can have a lot of shared concepts, but they are in the end their own thing. That said keep at it! Its very rewarding to learn
I find it difficult because of a lack of guide in-game
Tekken is definitely easier
Im with you. Im pretty decent at tekken, mortal kombat and most fighting games. I just cant seem to put it together with street fighter or king of fighters. Street fighter seems so hard to me.
Same im a tekken player too and Street fighter is hard i didnt even know there's 3 punches and 3 kicks
I start playing Hit, you make a Hit guide. Then i start playing Ginyu, you make a Ginyu guide, now i buy Street Fighter V, you make a beginner's guide for it. Are you omnipresent or something? '-'

Bought sf5 a while back but haven't played for a while, this is going to be a useful video. PS nice to see another canuck out there
Dur dur dur Canadian dur
Did you get any better
This is great! I'm an old school SF2 (played in the arcade when I was in HS) - looking to get back into this game almost 30 years later!
I've been a SSB4/SSBU weasel for quite a few years now, but the SF6 reveal convinced me to finally take the plunge into some deeper waters.

You do a great job of being aware of our community's culture and helping us with guides to get us back into games. Thanks for doing this dude!
Coming from playing smash bros, this shit mad difficult, so much respect to pros and creators 😭
LMAO so true I'm struggling too man
You have no idea how many tutorials I’ve watched on this game man 😂
Same, lol 😅
@@devv197 should I get the game do people still play?
@@justnum1811 I get lobbies n like 30 seconds so I’m pretty sure there’s a big player base atm
I remember when I first got SFV I was so stunned to find out the combos and controls are so different from MK’s controls I’m so used to those basic controls 😭😭😭 this video really helps
Happy to help!
Same bro, that's why I'm here.
I've been playing MK for years but only MK so I'm super thrown off by the rhythm. 😆
Man, one of the best tutorials I've ever seen. So moves that can cancel only do so if they hit? Mind blown.

Will this tutorial really teach me how to play? I have no clue what I'm doing
Crossplay does wonders.
You posted this at the perfect time. I bought sfv months ago and didn't play it much, and now I'm looking to get into it. Thanks!
Important: Juri and the crow tap their feet in sync at 25:02.
🐵
Also at 10:26
Also important, Ryu looks straight ahead in his usual stance, but looks up when he's right in front of a taller opponent 36:19.
38:00 as well😂
From 15 years of tekken to street figter i struggle a lot xD

The best channel to check out when you want a detailed tutorial on fighting games. This is a Fact!
Just thank you man, been triying to learn sfv since ever but didnt know where to start.
I’ve seen this video 5 times in its entirety, and every time I learn a little more.
the most frustration parts of SFV are the UI/menus and fight money. Everything else about SFV 2020 is great.
Tekken has been the only fighting game I play but decided to pick up sfv because it's improved a lot. Boy, I'm totally lost so this guide is a life saver!

I've been waiting to get back into SFV for a long time. You've given me a good reason. Thanks for posting this. Please make more SFV videos.
The big update is coming next month, at which point ill probably be making SFV content more regularly
Just bought the game today. Am watching this while it downloads to the ps4. Great guide

Injustice, mortal kombat, DBFZ, the list goes on.
No matter the game I can always count on that familiar voice 🙏🏻
V shift has finally convinced me to go competitive with this game.
As SFV was on Sale for 5€, I wanted to try it and I definitely like it a lot, but still try to figure out everything, thanks for the guide, I also want to get into fighting games in general again after having played a bit of Tekken and DB FighterZ. I also got Guilty Gear Strive on sale now and also really like it, I think I will spend much time on both games and look forward to checking out more guides from you. Glad I found your channel
Never played a fighter game before, looking forward to this since its out for free with ps plus. Thanks for the guide 👍
Excellent job explaining the terms in detail. Great video.
Great guide! Just picked up this game today. Thank you for your time and the guides you put out
In over 10 years of playing/following fighting games, I've never heard "whiff cancelling" used in the way that you use it here. Whiff cancelling usually refers to the ability to cancel a normal into a special without hitting the opponent, which doesn't occur -at all- in Street Fighter. What you're talking about, inputting a normal + special to whiff punish, is typically referred to as a "buffered special", "super buffer" (usually used in 3S, specifically for supers of course), or "hit confirm" depending on the normal.
EDIT: Kara-cancelling is totally a thing in Street Fighter, which is whiff cancelling startup frames of select (command) normals. Sagat's df.LK xx tiger knee is a classic example.
In over 25 years of playing fighting games I have never heard whiff canceling used in any way other than the way I used it. So that's on you I guess? You are buffering sure, but its buffering the whiff cancel.
@@Rooflemonger You're definitely wrong on this tho. Whiff cancelling has always been the ability to cancel a whiffed normal into a special or a super (or other things depending on the game). It only exists in few fighting games, DBFZ being an example with normals being whiff-cancellable into vanish for example. I believe it's also a thing in Melty Blood as well as King of Fighters and maybe other games I'm not too familiar with. What you're talking about in your video is just an option select for easy hit confirms.
@@frey79 being special cancelable on whiff is not the same thing, in fact quite the opposite, neither does it have anything to do with vanish as thats a universal mechanic in DBFZ. I am not "definitely in the wrong" on this. Its also not a hitconfirm at all, also the opposite of that, hit confirming is a 100% differing thing.
@@Rooflemonger You didn't understand my comment at all. What I said is that YOUR definition of whiff cancelling is wrong. I used DBFZ's vanish as an example of whiff cancelling. I also said "[...] into a special or a super (OR OTHER THINGS DEPENDING ON THE GAME)". It can be command normals or other things. The fact is, whiff cancelling is the action of cancelling a move that whiffed into another move. Something very rare in fighting games (as I said some form of it is possible in melty blood and KoF) and not possible in SFV.
What you're calling "whiff cancelling" is just buffering the special/super during the whiffed normal's animation. If your move whiffs, the special/super doesn't come out since it CAN'T cancel into it on whiff. That's called an option select and its purpose is hit-confirms without having to react to the normal hitting the opponent. That's what you're saying in the video and it's just that. An option select. Whiff cancelling is completely opposite of that and would in fact make this option select impossible.
Your video is very clear and extremely useful... though one thing that's missing from the game, is a slow down training mode... in which we can see everything slowler as we play and get kind of QTE prompts when a move can link into another, and be able to make it progressively faster...
Because right now, even though i understand what you''re saying, as of now, my body is just not physically able to do moves fast enough and with proper timing to perform most of those combos. lol
Most game's stories ease the Player through gameplay by teaching mechanics progressively, but that's always been missing in fighting games, and that's really sad, because it makes, us, intrested newbs, completely unable to get in.
Everything went in one ear and out the other, i felt like i learnt something but i canr remember it for the life of me.
Still good vid, was educational in the way of fighting games
Here after the big game sales and sf5 at 8 bucks on the ps4. This game is so hard, i practice combos on the trials but on matches they never land even after the first steps. That's really just my issue, but this guide is helpful!
Just found your channel, subbed, great content mate. We need more informative stuff like this in the Fighting game scene.
Appreciate the kind words, I always try my best to help
This video is super helpful sending it to my friends!!!!!
The only fighting game I completely understand is soul calibur, you make great MK 11 stuff too Thanks for all your hard work
Thanks so much for this! Been wanting to really get into the game and play Sakura since she's always been my favorite character in the series.
Necalli is perfect for me. Good anti air and a command grab. I love it. Plus a badass character design.
Yooooooooo.... I came here from your MK stuff!! Insta-clicked when I saw this🤙🏻
Im getting back to fighting game for the first time since mk4 .. thanx for helpfull the video
Excellent video
This was a great time to drop this video
Finally I never understood how to combo thank you for Your explanation
thanks man this was very helpful, only just got street fighter on psn so i was looking for a basic guide just like this
I’m too used to dbfz bruh ;-; idk if this actually helped me or not but this made me a little better though, thank you
Literally jumped back into this today after downloading last year lol
I just got SFV to prepare for SF6 I haven't played an SF game religiously since Street Fighter 4 and 3 but I'm ready to give it a shot
If anything this video was very helpful!
Thanks for the great guide
happy to help!
Thank you for this. I just downloaded the ps4 version onto my ps5 today. Watched this all the way through while the update is downloading. When I started playing I looked again to see how to do the V counter. I watched it a few times before realizing you don’t actually say HOW to do it! Lol
Thank you so much for the guide! Super helpful and super good timing as I just started playing it because of PS+ !!
I’ve been playing Mortal Kombat and Super Smash Bros for years, and I thought this would be a lot like Mortal Kombat, but it’s apparently much different 😭 excited to play and learn though!
