Something you stick up your ass.

Isn't that when you and a girl nonchalantly touch each others legs with your feet under a table?

When a girl rubs her bare foot against yours and it's the best thing in the world

What other anons have said, but I assume you're talking about fighting games? It's either that game you just posted, or a term for "mid-range" that fightfags use to make their genre sound more complex.

It's a version of the neutral game where you use the range and frame data of your normal moves try to bait your opponent into a vulnerable position from which to launch into a combo

I don't know this feel :^(

Don't worry fren, neither does he.

Also, it's referred to as "footsies", because in Street Fighter, where the term originates, kicks tend to have a longer range than punches, which is very important, as you want to stay as far away from your opponent (while still within range of your attacks) as possible.

Moving forward and backwards to keep Ur opponent guessing.

What was deleted?

its sort of a nuanced mechanic that has videos on it, but it essentially boils down to sizing up your opponent with small pokes that are safe while trying to control space, if you hit confirm you go into a combo in some cases

Using feints and movement to size up and confuse your opponent, in an effort to bait them into making a mistake.

It's low kicks which are obnoxious because they are impossible to dodge since you either jump and get hit by some followup attack, or you have to somehow parry it despite it being low and at your shins.

It's called footsies because you fucking autistic retards from the FGC desperately need to validate your retarded hobby and try to give cool and technical names to basic movement functions just so your garbage mentally handicapped autistic manchildren hobby appears if only slightly less pathetic.

>foosties
>cool and technical name
lol

2d fighter genre's reference to using footwork.
truth be told 2d fighter genre has nothing on games like mordhau or chivalry when it comes to footwork, not unless they go 3d
