How to STOP MASHING in fighting games

Street Fighter 6 is the title to get me back into fighting games and it has been SO MUCH FUN! New to fighting games? I’m not the best, and I am new to street fighter so I am going to take the time to show you how I go about learning a new fighting game, and in turn we can hopefully grow together!

Thank you man. I've been mashing for years and have finally taken the first step to stop. By admitting that I do it.
The turn based reference really helped.

On technical level it's easy to understand why mashing is not a good strategy. However I never mash when in training room, only during versus with actual players, and especially when i panick 😅 that's what i would like to learn to stop doing.

Damn, i wish this video was posted years ago😂
I already grew out of mashing, but it would've been great to have such a quick, yet thorough explanation of not only WHY its suboptimal, but also HOW to break the habit

Subbed for the brilliant camera angle idea.

Ok but how to stop!?? When practicing combo and you succeed only when you mash those buttons what does it mean??

How to stop button mashing?

I don't know, I've only ever played as Eddy Gordo.

Can this also apply to beat em ups type games? Something like Yakuza and Bayonetta, for example? I have a habit of button mashing in those games.

bad advice because mashing on tekken and mk are a viable strategy that even pros deploy 😂
