The art of learning to see videos.
Currently, many players see the videos where fights are held like a television show. They only want one thing: be surprised or amazed at what can happen in the video, as if they had forgotten that the true aim of the game lies in obtaining victory. Very often these players are impressed by the Combos Flashy or Ume-Shoryus and overlook what in my opinion is the main attraction of the games high-level control: interaction between players and the intensity of the fighting.
These same players "viewers" are the majority of communities in fighting games, yet are usually the laughing stock in those communities (not all, of course). Many messages in Boards Americans speak of "vidscrubs" and even more, of the great dishonor to the "Theory Fighters." Obviously it is impossible to deny the interest of the video in terms of strategy, especially when you can see how great players are preparing for tournaments. And then, where does this paradoxical reaction to the videos of fights?
Not long ago, high-level fighting were scarce and rare to see players getting a Japanese video VHS felt a great pleasure, though the video quality was very bad. Today you can easily see and find videos from across the web, while the expectations of the players developed and many of them lost sight of the real interest in these videos.
In some sense, these videos of fights are like a double-edged sword for communities. At first glance you can see the control and technique of a player and variety of his game in a video. Yet it is extremely difficult to judge the real level of a player because some aspects of the game can not be seen: Adaptation, Mind Game, Concentration, etc ... It all seems so simple that it takes a passive observer role because it is not involved in combat or play. Not suffer from any kind of pressure or the decision to be taken in a situation. The player, because at this distance, no benefits at all about what happens in a fight and then make mistakes. That is why they are two very different things to see a video player in a fight against him. To take advantage of the videos of fights you have to put in place for players to eliminate all references to trial.
The first level of reading is to ask why a player performs a specific action in a given situation. Try to emulate the action to see if we can understand its usefulness and if you can increase your knowledge in a specific point. Most players have already reached this level of reading of the game.
The second level of reading, and by far the most important is to ask (or ask someone) why a player performs a specific action in a given situation. This is the stop key to understand the changes of rhythm and timing during the fighting. Therefore it is essential to pay attention to what you do not see on the screen to have a comprehensive understanding of the gaming system. Only good players are able to decode a video this way, because first you should have a large domain on the basics of the game and if any assimilated.
must try to understand what happens in the heads of the players at all times, not to judge, but to find solutions and develop their own game. You can view the same video ten times and miss a key psychological element, as one can see the same movie ten times over a long period and discover new things every time you look. If the videos of fighting in a good way help you in your progression in the game, it still does not replace the training and versus battles.

Despite this I mean that, unlike the time, and means such as Live, Stream, etc., never have so many videos circulating on the web, but never have so many videos not bad. Record videos in training mode is not super Interestingly, I understand that there is an indifference to the video when watching videos a bygone era was almost a sign of high level. Yet the videos are great tools of inspiration to improve your game, complete and complement their knowledge.
not forget that the Japanese arcade community not all laugh like idiots all the time in a friendly and sharing everything. If a player is progressing because it has a chance to see combat between players and learn new things. Sharing is not necessarily act directly, sometimes it does so indirectly. Never hesitate to seek information rather than have to wait and stay everything arrives at his feet.
