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

No, we're not talking about flirting with your opponent under the table during the game. By footfucking, we mean the tense moments when both players move towards each other, trying to land a clean hit.

A quick disclaimer: This is not a perfect history of footsies in fighting games. We'll skip a few games. We'll touch on some concepts superficially. But overall, this should be a satisfactory introduction to the topic of footsies and why it's so important to the fighting game genre. If you want to dig into the subject matter, break down frame data, and create flowcharts, there are plenty of resources online for that.

Essays. Books. Videos. Forums. That's not what this is about. This is a general overview and should serve as a starting point for anyone who wants to get serious about fighting games.
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, we hope you enjoy our take on kicks in fighting games.
