Zand posted:no actually you should keep owning them im not suggesting you dont play them. i think variety in opponents is good. i just think that playing people like that exclusively wont help. eventually once you get better and better it wont be fun for them unless they get a "taste for blood" or a "yearning for battle" or whatever you want to call it. i know that in learning fgs a lot of players have a turning point where they feel a desire or some sort of craving for competition where the idea of trying/seeking stronger battles seems less like a chore and more like something they really want. lol scrabble the best way to find the "taste for blood" against good players for me has been to just focus on *one thing* every match. it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just get that one ky setup or whatever and feel good about that. Then you can see how they react and adjust further, etc.

Here's my hot take. Fighting games are like riding bikes. As you get more comfortable with your character and the controls, you stare at your own character's sprite less and keep an eye on the opponent more. Eyes on the road bitch!!!!!

I went 0-60 against my friend who's a self described "washed up Bedman" while prepping for my first tournament back in July. I'd like to try again sometime, I think I got 1-59 or 2-58 in me now. Gonna check out locals in Calgary on Thursday, I'm curious what it'll be like compared to out east. I've anecdotally heard the city has a reputation for being poo poo/just nobody playing much. But I mean I'm poo poo so as long as I can get find a small handful of people to get Xrd matches with on the reg I'll be happy.

Yeah this is probably right, there's so much you need to internalise cause you have no time to think when responding to something split second, you just need to train your hands/fingers/whatever to react instantly before you can even think about playing reactively.

my goal when i went to locals for melty was always just to land nrvnqsr's basic combos. and then hey i landed those combos twice and therefore won because i was playing a busted rear end character. that's my protips. what were we talking about again.

JMJ has three passions in life: animation, fighting games, and getting swole, whereas my only passions are crying and sweating so I wasn't about to be ultra-comboed IRL

Yeah there's an art to finding stuff to take out from getting your rear end kicked. I'm an idiot '16er and losing twenty matches in a row when I just started playing Xrd kinda sucked and was frustrating but now I still lose 20 in a row sometimes and it's no biggie. The big thing for me as a completely new person was learning enough of the game/my characters techniques that I wasn't overwhelmed. You wanna be fighting the player, not the game (yes, I'm speaking in cliches). At the beginning when I lost there was just so much going on that I had no idea what to pay attention to/what was happening because I was just so unfamiliar with mechanics, controls, execution, etc. The games would start and I would just feel locked in constant pressure with no escape. Now when I get bodied at least I know what's going on, why it's happening and can develop ideas of how to stop it/develop techniques. I can focus on trying to land my own pet combo that I'm working on. If they're catching me 10 different ways, maybe I can focus on one of them by the end of the session they'll only be catching me with 9 different things. It's dumb, slow and incremental, but you can find your spots and work on them. I've lost shitloads in a row to a Raven and it's tough, sure, but since I'm getting knocked down so much it's also great chance practice blocking oki mixups.

When I first went to local tournament I got blown up because I was trying to react to things as they come, but you're a lot more successful if you anticipate what someone might do instead of waiting for them to start doing it and then respond. It's the only way to break the minimum human reaction time barrier. Also don't be too aggressive or you'll put yourself into situations where bad things can happen until you learn what those bad things can be and you learn when to be aggressive more smartly. I think those are two good pieces of advice for any new locals player in any game, don't rush yourself and don't try to chase your opponent's choices, you'll never catch up.

My first tournament, I was pretty nervous because I thought I was going to just get slaughtered. I crashed out of the tournament pretty much immediately but I actually gave a good account of myself and almost won my match in losers. It was really close and some of the people watching got hype when I almost came back. Even though I lost it was a really fun and positive experience  Fighting games are cool because it's one of the few types of games where it can be fun to get wrecked, and not just in a delayed-gratification "I know this is making me better" type of way, even though that's true as well. I'm not sure what my point is but fighting games are cool and tournaments are cool. Thanks everybody troofs fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Sep 14, 2016 |

Super dumb, general question coming up, just to see if I have this straight: if someone does a jump-in in a 2D fighter, is the tradeoff usually that the move is [more plus on block/a better combo starter/hits high] in exchange for vulnerability to anti-airs? As a follow up, do divekicks tend to be useful because they change the [angle/timing] of approach to make anti-airs miss, or do they often have some other benefit as well?

Dive kicks have a few other advantages as well, like how they can be used to punish throw techs and that they can let you punish fireballs in some situations where normal jumps would get AA'ed.
