SFV BASICS w/ WWE'S XAVIER WOODS! Ep. 1 - The Beta Adventures of Gootecks & Mike Ross

Gootecks and Mike Ross introduce WWE Superstar Xavier Woods to Street Fighter V fundamentals in this instructional episode from the SFV Beta era. Rather than jumping into competitive play, the session focuses on the essential building blocks: proper walking mechanics, spacing, poke ranges, and basic movement patterns. Xavier, eager to move beyond casual button-mashing toward legitimate fighting game skill, gets hands-on guidance from two veterans who understand how to deconstruct the game's mechanics for newcomers. The emphasis throughout is on breaking bad habits early and establishing a foundation that supports long-term improvement. This is one of several episodes in the series designed specifically for players looking to understand Street Fighter's core gameplay rather than memorize advanced techniques. If you're introducing someone to fighting games or want to revisit the fundamentals yourself, this collaboration between Cross Counter TV and Up Up Down Down captures the teaching approach that separates grinding from actually learning.
