The support I got in the past week has been amazing! Thank you all! I am working on a few videos idea, and Yes. One of them is me getting beat up on CFN. Once again, Your support has been giving me a lot of motivation, truly, thank you
I respect your struggle, bro. Coming into fight games as a new player can be demoralising, but you took it like a boss. I love to watch the climb of new players. Reminds me of back in the 90's, when my friends would sit around playing Killer Instinct and Strret Fighter. We all wanted to be the best.
I genuinely thought I was watching another random upcoming fgc UA-camr with over 1k subs because this video is just as quality as those ones, pretty surprising to find out you only 10 subs. Can't wait to see you explode (in popularity)!
I think this is a good video that shows that literally everyone can learn fighting games and have fun first and foremost. The journey is never ending and theres always something to improve and by learning to take those losses as learning experiences and just having fun regardless, youll improve and learn sooooooo much while exploring the game(s) you love. I think i heard a quote from someone somewhere that went something like, "Once you learn to take the L, nothing can stop you".
dude seeing a video like this from another person who’s new to the genre makes such a huge difference. thank you for giving me inspiration to keep playing :))
this is so great i could cry. in fact, i actually did tear up a little bit when you got hype landing the big cammy combo. fighting games are an amazing experience. after 2600 hours in SFV, i just hit Ultra Diamond last week. more than anything, i want others to be able to enjoy these games the same way i have. you definitely get it. keep on going man, and i’m sure you’ll reach levels you never thought you could. thanks so much for this video!
Great video man! Nice to see people posting in the FGC about getting into the scene. It’s really inspiring to see people from any skill level can make content that’s enjoyable to watch. We need more content like this in the FGC, instant sub
Great video! Its really interesting to see the perspective of someone who is just starting out. A bit of advice if you want it: It's normal for really high level play to seem unreachable, just keep a learning-focused mentality and all the little bits of game knowledge you develop will keep piling up to make you a better player. Over the years if you look back at your play you can understand how better you start to understand fighting games in general, not just SFV.
Fighting games are difficult but so are FPS. Not sure why anyone would think that anything that is competitive would be easy but that’s the incentive to git better
I respect the zoner pick 😤 I also completely understand the "I can let the games end in a loss mindset" a lot of people feel like that. I like that you're rolling with the punches even a lost game can give good exp
I do too. Especially after playing one and trying to keep all these rush downs from ripping your head off. It's hard keeping people off you as a zoner and I have mad respect to any zoner that can freeze out people consistently.
Hey just found your channel, Im pretty much the same case as you, average player beginning in fighting games, I recently took a huge break due to exams and having to go back from scratch to learn using a stick. But I gotta say, seeing the experience from another player like me really put things into perspective and helped me motivate to get back into the FGC
I gotta say my dude if your times are accurate you seem like a natural at fighting games. I've been playing fighting games for years casually and a few weeks seriously trying to learn and you're waaaaaay better than me. Hurts my confidence a little bit.
Very entertaining i know this journey all to well.Though understanding fighting games in general? it's an adventure alright. Everyone learns at a different pace building fundamentals/experience. This genre releases dopamine like no other.Very personal when u struggle losing/winning through many trials and error.
This is pretty interesting, I was playing 3rd strike on the fightcade and was losing a whole lot but ended up finally making it up to C rank, I was so happy all the pain finally payed off.
Happy to say this video got me to start playing fighting games. I feel like I've always wanted to sink my teeth into a fighting game but had this misunderstanding that I should've started when I was younger and that it was too late to learn how to play now (until I watched this video of course). Currently playing strive, floor 4 so I'm *really* bad but im still having fun!
I think one of the first steps to really improving is realizing losing properly is much better for learning than winning against clueless newcomers by using gimmicks
I gotta say man im so glad I clicked on this video, after it was over I immediately went to watch your other videos, you have an incredible style and hilarious sense of humor. Keep it up man I truly hope you find the success you deserve
Thanks for this, the fgc needs more videos like these. I too chronicled my 2 year on and off process with SF5 in my yt channel. Currently Super Gold and hoping i can make it to Plat before SF6. Also adding you in CFN (Kbronx) since just last night a Poison washed me and i need to practice the match. XD
Welcome to the community :). I just returned to traditional fighting games after many years and I'm so glad this genre keeps making people join us! Also, super glad to see UA-cam pushing smaller channels! You just got a new subscriber and a big fat like, I hope it helps :)
To anyone new to fighting games. I suggest before completing the higher difficulty combo trials, pr playing against a person. You should play against the CPU on a low difficulty and build up to harder difficulties. And just try to have fun while learning moves and building muscle memory.
Ive followed fighting games through watchin tournaments for like 11 years and it wasnt until veery recently I reaaally got into playin sfv.. its quite painful after some matches but every loss I learn a new piece of information, I write it down and try to absorb it, after a while, it gets implemented and I feel like im really growing, its amazingly rewarding and imo theres nothin like it
The thing I would say is focusing on mental is half the battle too. Don't become outcome focused. Become focused on growth. If you weren't able to anti air on reaction and you acquired that skill but still lost, that is actually a win. Every brick counts when making a house but no brick alone is a house.
Glad i found your video. just started my fighting game journey too when Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising came out. getting execution correct first really takes longer than expected and got my @ss handed to me during 1st few matches online. still continuing my journey to at least get good at it.
I love your videos dude!! Like I don't try to lie to low subscriber channels to boost their ego but you... Damn you are good. It's a shame that your channel hasn't got all that much traction yet. Hopefully the algorhythm will bless you soon. Keep it up dawg! Earned a subscribe from me.
for me the worse thing was their network rework or whatever they did in 2020. it may be good for US/japan players but for me, an indian player it became worse. i had to literally wait 30 mins+ to find one match on lowest connection setting just to find same 2-3 people everyday. i went from ultra gold to gold because my skill got decreasing as i kept uninstalling the game and reinstalling after months thinking "network might be better now" only to lose and uninstall again. now my hopes are with SF6. P.S. btw before that network patch, everything was perfect as i could get matches within 3-5mins.
I went throuhg a similar journey starting with dbfz but soon moving over to guilty gear strive and it feels so nice to see a video like this which shows you dont always reach your goals, the journey never stops and as you close in on one goal you'll start eyeing up something else that grounds you again. But tis always fun to learn.
Happy to see a video like this, and you did pretty well in SFV, I'm around Gold level and is a bit hard to get there but not impossible (try far that now that's a different thing XD), I'm pretty sure you will reach it if already not have. I recommend every time you get to a new rank, play casual in that rank for a day or 2 before go rank to get used to the rank skill level of players and that way you know when you are ready to try rank up.
love this video, i'm back to tekken 7 and i'm trying to use an arcade stick over my many years as a pad player, is hard and difficult for sure, but i love fighting games and i want to be better at them! It's realy difficult to learn the basic, but the satisfaction when you beat the one juggle player with only counters and dodges it's amazing!
I'm on a very similar journey. I've watched competitive SFV for a few years now, but with SF6 on the horizon I finally decided to play SFV and try to get a baseline lever of competency in fighting games in general. And I'm going through a lot of what you did, though I still have no completed any of Ryu's trials sadly. Gold is also my goal, and I've come very close (technically one victory away before I got into that oh-so-familiar losing spiral). I just got back into Ultra Silver so the game is still on though. Here's hoping you succeed as well! Considering I barely see any Poison's through my play, that's sure to help you as well.
One thing to point out about every "combo trial" mode in fighting games: They are supposed to be hard hence the name "trials" or "challenge" mode. I played FGs for over 10 years and still needed 3h recently to just finish one specific combo trial in another game. That's why I wouldn't necessarily recommend doing every trial for your character. It might help you to get an idea how the character's combo structure works and maybe improve your execution long term. But I wouldn't bother bashing my head against those when learning a fighting game. Of course you can if you are having fun though.
LOL bro your videos are great and super funny. Dude as someone just getting into street fighter V like a week ago i totally understand how this feels. Had me rolling and this is one of the few vids i ever give a thumbs up to but you deserve it. Plus subbed a bit earlier cause you deserve it.
Great video！As a semi-casual player I can resonate with you😂 It's hard to better yourself but no other games can provide such gratification when u win against some good player in a tough fight.
For me fighting games makes me more depressed then angry which kinda sucks cause when im angry i can just swap games but being sad makes me not want to play anything for weeks and it sucks to take days to climb up to a high rank just to got back to the lowest rank in a hour cause you got absolutely destroyed a bunch of times i mean it happens but man
I hope I am not getting it wrong… I actually got similar experience like that. A losing streak felt like all my time had gone to waste. And it would leave me kinda depressed for the day. But I would still get myself to do other stuff or play other games tho. It helps me to get into a better mood.
@@thatDoubleT you got it right but i don't get too depressed about it i don't even have like 2 days worth of time on the game and ik it takes time so i still get back up, also unrelated but i learned the frame advantages on my character by trial and error i find it more fun to see what i could get away with and do even tho i go like -7 but the enemy don't know
I began fighting game in 2019 more precisly tekken which is well known for being ruthless with beginers it take me 3/4 years to be considered intermediate (fujin for my fellow tekkener) to be fair with one of the harder character on the hardest contoller to learn (heihachi /kazuya on stick) so yes it is possible with time and dedication
You forgot that for an older game, there are considerably far more smurfs in lower rank matches. You're being bodied by far mor experienced players than you thought
This is an amazing take from someone who's just starting out! Great edits as well! I think we started at the same time, I saw that exact same reddit comment when I was looking for info on reddit. Great vid! 😀
Like anything in life. You're willing to pay the price for greatness or you're not. I wouldn't make my main choice based on a tier list but do what you want. It helps to actually like the character you're gonna attempt to learn and flesh out.
I remember those days. Where even when your not playing the game, wherever you are. You're mentally in the lab, training and cooking up the nastiest punish for that stupid move you lost to last night.
This was an awesome video overall! Glad it showed up but I do want to clarify that Nash is not taunting. Thats his Vskill 2 which improves his next sonic slash. It can seem toxic like a taunt but remember not every useful button is an attack.
I always approach fighting games from a understanding that there is always going to be better players than me. The only player I care to out beat is myself. Loosing in fighting games is the only way your going to get better. You learn from losing and find new ways to approach situations and censorious. It’s an ongoing turn base game of cat and mouse where you got to learn how to master both sides.
Great video. I'm in the exact same situation, seeing SF6 made me want to try to learn fighting games so i know the pain all too well lol. Seriously so many things in this video i can exactly relate too, especially ranked matchmaking and people who like to waste your time
I just want to say (in case no one did) that Charlie pulling up his glasses isn't a taunt: it's his VS2 and this combo makes its use safe. It's a buff for one of his specials. I don't see a lot of people taunting (except maybe Dan players), so it's often a good guess that any move that looks like it doesn't do anything is a vskill.
I know this video is old, but for anyone looking to pick up fighting games as a newer player, you shouldn't spend 54 minutes straight practicing something in training mode if you're not having fun doing it. Just 5~10 minutes will suffice, then go hit some buttons against some real people. Your brain will do the rest when you go to sleep and the ROI for your time in the training mode will be a lot better. Are there things in FGs that require a significant amount of practice beyond just 5 minutes a day? Yes, but I'd save those sort of things for when you feel you're more of an intermediate player and not a beginner. It feels way better to practice something you know the purpose behind beyond just "this combo do damage and combos are what you do in fighting games and you're not a fighting game player without long combos (not true btw)."
Great video! Just know that getting to silver from being brand new to fighting games that fast is pretty amazing. It usually takes people way longer, you have a knack for this. I hope you keep playing! If you want to improve more, I recommend Chris Tatarian's YT channel. He has a lot of videos discussing key concepts and strategies used at a high level as well as videos coaching players around your rank. This helped me a lot to get past gold rank
The "Don't give up on fighting games" video by Alex Nostalgix is one of the BEST Fighting game videos on UA-cam and he DEFINITELY walks the viewer through his experience LEARNING fighting games (a lot like you did in this video here) spanning MULTIPLE games. So when you say have you seen anyone actually learn. Look no further than the video you showcase thumbnail for in this video's intro.
I'm having a tough time right now. I'm about 300 hours into Mk11 and I play everyone that comes up in online, no matter the odds or W/L ratios. Some sessions I only get people with 1500+ hours for 1 hour, 2 hours straight and struggle to win a single stock. I am learning from them, but damn its a little tough on the soul, know what I mean?
I totally gets it, I love it when I am playing fighting game and all. But the occasional losing streak is just tough to handle. Let your heart rest a bit. Hope you can start a winning streak next time.
You have to spend at least 70% of your time in practice mode. You need to have perfect execution on the training dummy and need to learn how to punish it when it's on the very hard difficulty. Don't be hard on yourself because 300 hours is not a lot in FG. You will get there with practice and patience. Good luck.
Don't listen to the person that said you need to spend 70% of your time in training mode or have perfect execution. Don't listen to that shit. No one that plays fighting games has perfect execution. You use training mode for 3 things...to get more familiar with your controls and what does what. That takes about 30 - 45 mins. Sometimes less than that. 2nd to work on the the things that you're trying to implement in your game. Do it enough to where you feel you can pull it off consistently big or small. Third....lab the things that give you trouble in a match. How much time you spend working on those things is up to you
Good stuff. I hope you do another video in this style of your journey to reach those goals. The structure, script, pace, and all that here is well done. If I had to pick one thing that I didn't like, it was the number of times you asked for like and subscribe. Do ask, just not that many times.
Lol I just started learning fighting games recently too. Street Fighter was a bit of a challenge for me since it had so much focus on fundamentals. Eventually after watching so many people play in EVO I gave it another try. I did not do very well! However I started to understand what was happening. I was blocking more. Punishing more. Anti- airing more. T_T it felt fantastic. I still get bodied more often then not but it's like I was able to fit myself in my character's position. I play a lot of R. Mika and Akira... They fit my hand for some reason :))
In response to the last question: continue to play if it's fun, especially for beginners. Just get used to input motions like dashing, I know that was hard for me at the start, and pressing buttons with purpose. Therefore it's well worth it to play any fighting game and transition to any other, fighting games have a lot of transferable skills. Hope this helps
this is my exact fear of getting started in fighting games, SF6 looks fucking dope but man i ain't gonna spend 60 dollars just to getabsolutly demolished over and over for years till i git gud at it, because most ppl who play it are old fighting game players with years of experience and i'm a fresh newbie
Fighting games take too much. I have maybe two hours a day if I'm lucky to play games. I'd rather have fun than "getting better at the game" that just sounds like a different way to say work.
Lol fighting games demand so much it's ridiculous. Like why TF I gotta learn all of that? This is why fighting games aren't as popular as games like Minecraft or fortnite Only exception is platform fighters
I can relate it's a struggle especially rank though I was told bronze and silver are the ranks that players either know what they are doing or just doing random things to go up the rank. I play lucia and she cam either zone or rush you down but she lacks big damage and her reach and projectile game isn't great but I find out I got mix up the opponent from time to time make them think.
Sometimes I wanna go back to try fighting games outside of casual Granblue when the new Battle Pass is up because I feel like there's a part of me that's disappointed in myself for giving up......... but my brain doesn't understand what I did wrong and how to fix it.
This was really entertaining lol but some advice : I don’t think it is good to start learning a fighting game with trial mode . Those combos are unintuitive and meant to challenge the player with a hard trial . They will just discourage a new player . It is best to start off learning 1 simple combo , learn to block mid and low, then maybe learn a few moves to spam . Notice how you learned way more when you started playing Poison against other people online . You can learn more doing Simple moves and simple spacing , rather than spending hours doing trial mode . Then when you are completely stuck learn a few more things through guides .
The support I got in the past week has been amazing! Thank you all! I am working on a few videos idea, and Yes. One of them is me getting beat up on CFN.
Once again, Your support has been giving me a lot of motivation, truly, thank you
ur gonna be disappointed with sf6 after playing sf5... instead you should degrade and go play sf4 xD
Hey man youre doing great, I started this struggle in 2020 and know how hard it can be... Keep on going you got this man
Quality stuff you’re putting out here, you deserve subs!
Well I'm glad UA-cam is recommending videos I'm interested in without being from big UA-camrs.
Hey man, thanks for the support
Agreed! This vid was good!
Agreed
I remember when we used to get related videos instead of recommended videos.
Same!
I respect your struggle, bro. Coming into fight games as a new player can be demoralising, but you took it like a boss. I love to watch the climb of new players. Reminds me of back in the 90's, when my friends would sit around playing Killer Instinct and Strret Fighter. We all wanted to be the best.
Great video! Btw at 10:01 this is actually Nash doing his v-skill. the next scythe move he uses after pushing up his glasses like that is upgraded.
So it’s like balrog’s dempshy roll and Alex’s stretch? Damn, maybe the only bm guy was me all along.
@@thatDoubleT Bm? or the forbidden neutral?
@@pkerwi maybe it’s just me buffering my control, but the super didn’t come out
That Nash player didn't taunt you. That's his Vskill 2. It upgrades his next moon scythe attack
This^

No pain no gain is true in FG. Except it’s emotional damage.
The dopamine is super real, when you get into a flow in a match and just lock yourself in, doing things right, and get the W. So satisfying

They are supposed to be hard hence the name "trials" or "challenge" mode. I played FGs for over 10 years and still needed 3h recently to just finish one specific combo trial in another game.

It might help you to get an idea how the character's combo structure works and maybe improve your execution long term. But I wouldn't bother bashing my head against those when learning a fighting game. Of course you can if you are having fun though.
There's also the fact that most combo trials (in the vast majority of games) aren't even optimal.
Keep it up bro, solid vid. Got yourself a new sub👌

I hope I am not getting it wrong… I actually got similar experience like that. A losing streak felt like all my time had gone to waste. And it would leave me kinda depressed for the day.
But I would still get myself to do other stuff or play other games tho. It helps me to get into a better mood.
@@thatDoubleT you got it right but i don't get too depressed about it i don't even have like 2 days worth of time on the game and ik it takes time so i still get back up, also unrelated but i learned the frame advantages on my character by trial and error i find it more fun to see what i could get away with and do even tho i go like -7 but the enemy don't know
Loved the video! Can’t wait for more!
Good luck on your journey fellow player
bro if ur not subscribed to this lad, what are u even doing
Music used in this video was immaculate ❤️🤙🏾 glad to hear it
such a great video, cant wait to see more. you got my sub
this is a good video nice structure
I rewrote the script many times. I am glad you’re enjoying it!
I began fighting game in 2019 more precisly tekken which is well known for being ruthless with beginers it take me 3/4 years to be considered intermediate (fujin for my fellow tekkener) to be fair with one of the harder character on the hardest contoller to learn (heihachi /kazuya on stick) so yes it is possible with time and dedication
i still love coming back to video to watch very good
You forgot that for an older game, there are considerably far more smurfs in lower rank matches. You're being bodied by far mor experienced players than you thought
This is an amazing take from someone who's just starting out! Great edits as well! I think we started at the same time, I saw that exact same reddit comment when I was looking for info on reddit. Great vid! 😀
Like anything in life. You're willing to pay the price for greatness or you're not.
I wouldn't make my main choice based on a tier list but do what you want. It helps to actually like the character you're gonna attempt to learn and flesh out.
I remember those days. Where even when your not playing the game, wherever you are. You're mentally in the lab, training and cooking up the nastiest punish for that stupid move you lost to last night.
keep pushing!
Those 10 first examples kinda gave me PTSD LMAO
This was an awesome video overall! Glad it showed up but I do want to clarify that Nash is not taunting. Thats his Vskill 2 which improves his next sonic slash. It can seem toxic like a taunt but remember not every useful button is an attack.
you made my heart climb to gold, subscribed
I like the editing. Cool video.
11:02 The Nash isn't taunting, it's his Vskill 2 that upgrades his sonic scythes
Cammy trial 10 is a mood
I always approach fighting games from a understanding that there is always going to be better players than me. The only player I care to out beat is myself. Loosing in fighting games is the only way your going to get better. You learn from losing and find new ways to approach situations and censorious. It’s an ongoing turn base game of cat and mouse where you got to learn how to master both sides.
I relate a lot to your experience bro ! Keep going I suscribed !
Great video. I'm in the exact same situation, seeing SF6 made me want to try to learn fighting games so i know the pain all too well lol. Seriously so many things in this video i can exactly relate too, especially ranked matchmaking and people who like to waste your time
I know this was a year ago, but welcome to the FGC! I hope you're enjoying SF6!
Iam on sf5 trying to get thr basics before i get sf6 but this shit is unfathomably difficult I don't understand anything
Ima fan of this video bro
I just want to say (in case no one did) that Charlie pulling up his glasses isn't a taunt: it's his VS2 and this combo makes its use safe. It's a buff for one of his specials. I don't see a lot of people taunting (except maybe Dan players), so it's often a good guess that any move that looks like it doesn't do anything is a vskill.
Subbed btw I like to see people suffer :)
Great job and great video
Very good video!! Thanks for making it
I know this video is old, but for anyone looking to pick up fighting games as a newer player, you shouldn't spend 54 minutes straight practicing something in training mode if you're not having fun doing it.
Just 5~10 minutes will suffice, then go hit some buttons against some real people. Your brain will do the rest when you go to sleep and the ROI for your time in the training mode will be a lot better.
Are there things in FGs that require a significant amount of practice beyond just 5 minutes a day? Yes, but I'd save those sort of things for when you feel you're more of an intermediate player and not a beginner. It feels way better to practice something you know the purpose behind beyond just "this combo do damage and combos are what you do in fighting games and you're not a fighting game player without long combos (not true btw)."
Right now, I just hop on rank, try something I saw on Twitter and get beat up.
That’s my learning process
Great video! Just know that getting to silver from being brand new to fighting games that fast is pretty amazing. It usually takes people way longer, you have a knack for this. I hope you keep playing! If you want to improve more, I recommend Chris Tatarian's YT channel. He has a lot of videos discussing key concepts and strategies used at a high level as well as videos coaching players around your rank. This helped me a lot to get past gold rank
The "Don't give up on fighting games" video by Alex Nostalgix is one of the BEST Fighting game videos on UA-cam and he DEFINITELY walks the viewer through his experience LEARNING fighting games (a lot like you did in this video here) spanning MULTIPLE games.
So when you say have you seen anyone actually learn. Look no further than the video you showcase thumbnail for in this video's intro.
So glad I've been recommended this vid. 😁😊
I'm having a tough time right now. I'm about 300 hours into Mk11 and I play everyone that comes up in online, no matter the odds or W/L ratios. Some sessions I only get people with 1500+ hours for 1 hour, 2 hours straight and struggle to win a single stock. I am learning from them, but damn its a little tough on the soul, know what I mean?
I totally gets it, I love it when I am playing fighting game and all. But the occasional losing streak is just tough to handle. Let your heart rest a bit. Hope you can start a winning streak next time.
@@thatDoubleT Its really just if I want to win I would just have to decline more players; but I feel like that's missing the point.
@@hitscan.630 Not me, my heart just can’t take anymore learning experience
You have to spend at least 70% of your time in practice mode.
You need to have perfect execution on the training dummy and need to learn how to punish it when it's on the very hard difficulty.
Don't be hard on yourself because 300 hours is not a lot in FG. You will get there with practice and patience.
Good luck.
Don't listen to the person that said you need to spend 70% of your time in training mode or have perfect execution. Don't listen to that shit. No one that plays fighting games has perfect execution.
You use training mode for 3 things...to get more familiar with your controls and what does what. That takes about 30 - 45 mins. Sometimes less than that. 2nd to work on the the things that you're trying to implement in your game. Do it enough to where you feel you can pull it off consistently big or small. Third....lab the things that give you trouble in a match. How much time you spend working on those things is up to you
Fg today is like learning piano
But only playing songs in the key of C
12:10 that interaction. 🤣 🤣 Ish like that make even seasoned vets mad.
Good stuff. I hope you do another video in this style of your journey to reach those goals. The structure, script, pace, and all that here is well done. If I had to pick one thing that I didn't like, it was the number of times you asked for like and subscribe. Do ask, just not that many times.
Great video!
great vid, hope we get to touch globes in street fighter 6. earned a sub, can’t wait to see where the channel goes 👹
Lol I just started learning fighting games recently too. Street Fighter was a bit of a challenge for me since it had so much focus on fundamentals. Eventually after watching so many people play in EVO I gave it another try. I did not do very well!
However I started to understand what was happening. I was blocking more. Punishing more. Anti- airing more. T_T it felt fantastic. I still get bodied more often then not but it's like I was able to fit myself in my character's position. I play a lot of R. Mika and Akira... They fit my hand for some reason :))
In response to the last question: continue to play if it's fun, especially for beginners. Just get used to input motions like dashing, I know that was hard for me at the start, and pressing buttons with purpose. Therefore it's well worth it to play any fighting game and transition to any other, fighting games have a lot of transferable skills. Hope this helps
this is my exact fear of getting started in fighting games, SF6 looks fucking dope but man i ain't gonna spend 60 dollars just to getabsolutly demolished over and over for years till i git gud at it, because most ppl who play it are old fighting game players with years of experience and i'm a fresh newbie
If you play ranked you will play other bad players
O literally just uninstalled SFV after 1 month trying to learn it, and this pops up in my feed imediately lmao good luck in this painful journey sir!
Oh you got that 3 Houses sad music? Instant suscribe
that first chun li was smurfing btw
When I am learning, everyone is a smurf to me
Someone put this man through KoF XIII trials.
Fighting games take too much. I have maybe two hours a day if I'm lucky to play games. I'd rather have fun than "getting better at the game" that just sounds like a different way to say work.
I only have 5 hours 😭
Lol fighting games demand so much it's ridiculous. Like why TF I gotta learn all of that? This is why fighting games aren't as popular as games like Minecraft or fortnite
Only exception is platform fighters
Crazy cope
I can relate it's a struggle especially rank though I was told bronze and silver are the ranks that players either know what they are doing or just doing random things to go up the rank. I play lucia and she cam either zone or rush you down but she lacks big damage and her reach and projectile game isn't great but I find out I got mix up the opponent from time to time make them think.
Sometimes I wanna go back to try fighting games outside of casual Granblue when the new Battle Pass is up because I feel like there's a part of me that's disappointed in myself for giving up......... but my brain doesn't understand what I did wrong and how to fix it.
A mental reset would be nice.
Take all the time you need. Look at how others are playing the game and start playing with a different perspective.
This was really entertaining lol but some advice :
I don’t think it is good to start learning a fighting game with trial mode . Those combos are unintuitive and meant to challenge the player with a hard trial . They will just discourage a new player .
It is best to start off learning 1 simple combo , learn to block mid and low, then maybe learn a few moves to spam .
Notice how you learned way more when you started playing Poison against other people online . You can learn more doing Simple moves and simple spacing , rather than spending hours doing trial mode .
Then when you are completely stuck learn a few more things through guides .
That Lucia was a Smurf lmfao
Oh... He just like me.... HE JUST LIKE ME FR!!!!!
