      Nachy just focus on basics first.
      Like in MVC2 I started with Blackheart as my anchor. All that I really needed to know was how to push block and that hard kick and hard punch threw out demons also his anti air assist was one of the best in the game.
      Doing and knowing just that helps a lot. I show that to new players at this barcade that had the game and they quickly get an edge over their friends just knowing those basics with one character in a 3v3 fighter.
      Then just knowing which assists to have for cover fighter during neutral helps. Sure, they can be used to extend combos as well, but working on cover and zoning is simpler and easier to help you get into the game.
      Things like that, just learn basics first, then do the more advanced things afterwards.

    This is the video I sent to my non-fighting game friends so they can start approaching the game from an open-minded, analytical standpoint. So they can start respecting it and then start playing differently. In my experience, telling non-fighting game friends that button-mashing isn't useful usually comes across as you just being a snob, despite the fact that it's not working for them. That's why I think the opening of this video, that conpares the ludicracy of it to games that are mainstream is so amazing in hooking them to keep watching, due to repeatability. AMAZING job!
