Description
In the fighting games industry, 'Execution' refers to a player's skill in accurately and consistently performing the required inputs to execute moves, combos, and strategies during gameplay. This involves precise timing, hand-eye coordination, and muscle memory. High-level execution is essential for competitive play, as it enables players to perform complex techniques under pressure, capitalize on openings, and maximize damage output. Execution can vary in difficulty from game to game and character to character, with some requiring intricate sequences of inputs and others relying on simpler, more forgiving mechanics.
Examples
- In 'Street Fighter V', a player might need high execution skills to perform Ryu’s 'Shoryuken' followed by a 'Critical Art' combo, which requires precise timing and quick input sequences.
- In 'Tekken 7', executing Kazuya's 'Electric Wind God Fist' consistently during a match showcases a player's high execution skills, as this move requires precise joystick movements and button presses.
Additional Information
- Execution is often practiced through repeated drills and training mode sessions.
- Some players prefer characters or games with lower execution requirements to focus more on strategy and mind games.
