Press down heavy to punish dude's super dash. Get good at blocking. Also play against your friends and not randoms via matchmaking.

What is the fighting game discord so I can get clowned by goons over and over until I get good? I can't find anything explicity for fighters on the discord goons site.

I've probably gotten too far in this game with Black on my team without ever using the Zamasu super. I always 100% forget it exists until it's used against me. And then I proceed to forget again before I have the opportunity to practice it.

I guess the cross section of people who have minimal fighting game experience and people who currently play fighterZ is probably close to 0

fg matchmaking for your skill level is probably much easier outside of the in-game tools where the only people left are people trying to increase rank since the weaklings have already filtered themselves out. try a discord or something

Pushing buttons is really strong in this game, especially when you're still learning to defend yourself. The unfortunate thing is the only way to learn defense is to take a whole lot of losses while you focus on it. But if you integrate some vanishes and assist calls I bet you'll end up winning a fair amount of games against other people with equally bad defense.

Then when you stop making those mistakes, which are consistently being punished, you yourself become a bit better as well.

I started diving deep into Ranked a week and a half or so ago and there were still some new players for me to play against, I think there's plenty of Saibamen and Earthlings left in the pool if you play at peak hours. You can cut your teeth on Casual too, I feel like there were still people around my level there. I was pretty bad at fighting games when I started this game (my only other fighting game I've played is SFV and I never got out of Bronze) and I just ranked up to Super Saiyan today!! You can do it!!!! Here are my Beginner Tips, as someone who's just now diving into the deep intricacies and jargon that you see everyone else use. All of this stuff was brand new to me, even if long-time genre fans knew them already:

Also set the game to autosave your replays and rewatch losses and times where you get stomped by someone playing one of your characters. It's really useful for learning new combos and techniques from other players as well as what your own weaknesses are.

There is a steep learning curve up front since you will encounter a bunch of poo poo you don't understand yet, all at once. As you start to recognize everything it will become cooler and cooler, but it's an investment. This learning process probably goes x1000 times faster if you had someone sitting next to you explaining things, though.

NO LISTEN TO ME posted:Most important rule: You're gonna get flustered while you play, especially if you're on a losing streak. Easier said than done but don't let it get to you. I'm not really the Mad At Video Games type but for whatever reason this game gets me yelling, sometimes at my TV and sometimes at myself. Identifying your mistakes and continuing to try even when you're way way behind is how you get better for the next time. Related to this, if you feel like it IS getting to you, it's time to take a break. Trying to play when you're getting mad isn't going to help anything.

Count Bleck posted:Doesn't Dodon Ray knock your opponent up instead of hold them in place like the other beam assists do? No other beam assist holds them in place, they all knock them all the way across the screen. Tien is the only beam assist that will keep the enemy right beside you after popping up. Goku beam assists for the most part you can homing dash after, but thats more hits being used up and ruining your combo. Tien keeps them right there infront of you, in which you can jump and recombo on the spot. For the most part think of it like this, after most given combos, you get goku beam assist, homing after it, do like LMH LM special or whatever you are done. Tien for the same damage lets you get jump LLdown+H, double jump, then finish up, for more overall damage since he only used up one of your hits. This isn't every character every scenario mind you but just to give an idea.

So I'm still doing okay in ranked. I've hit Android. Most people fold to either my 18 getting a hit in and removing a character or my Black just having better buttons than them. Where I do lose is usually because a) I flub my 18 combos and setups b) they're just much much better at neutral than me. I need to learn what my options actually are after super dashing someone. I've basically avoided using the move entirely in a bid to avoid bad habits, but now I think I need to actually incorporate it into my game a bunch more. The thing is, after I get a hit with one, I'm not really sure of what to do. I find that often enough my L,M,j.L,M,H combo will just flub and I've got no real idea why. Probably need to lab that a bunch. I'm struggling most with pressure at the moment. Specifically once something does get blocked my brain autopilots L, L, 2M, M, 6M. This is a problem because it's really predictable and I'm at a point now where I really need to start varying things. The first part is to learn to cover with assists, which isn't too bad, but on 18 disadvantages her because it makes her setup play weaker. The second is actually figuring out different combo chains and how to confirm off of them. I'm most unsure on how to start dealing with this. I have some theory like running L,L,2M,M,214M and having 17 cover my recovery, but I don't know how I'd even begin to get damage off it and it obviously isn't character universal. Still, better than I was yesterday I think.

By far the #1 thing holding me back right now is accidentally quick-changing when I mean to just assist and it is actually infuriating.

I'm hoping some DLC character feels this void in my team. I like Trunks and Vegeta, and can't find a third that I enjoy. I've been trying Goku, Cell, Nappa, Gohan. How is Teen Gohan? Cell's corner loops look pretty hard to do. And drat there is a lot of people who drop on PC.. just had 4 in a row Firstborn fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Mar 5, 2018 |
