Today we re-enter the world of fighting games and look at one of the most fundamental and complex concepts in the genre: Footsies.

No, we're not talking about flirting under the table with your opponent during your set. The footsies we're referring to are the tense moments where both players get close and try to figure out how to land a clean shot.

A quick warning, this isn't a perfect history of footsies in fighting games. We're going to leave a few games aside. We will gloss over certain concepts. But overall, this should serve as a satisfying introduction to footsies and why they're so important to the fighting game genre. If you want to get to work separating frame data and creating flowcharts, there are plenty of resources online for this.

Tests. Books. Videos. Forums. That's not what it's about. This is a general overview and should be considered a starting point for anyone interested in actually getting into fighting games.
That being said, we hope you enjoy our approach to fighting games.
