The worst thing about training in Street Fighter is that I simply can’t focus. After an hour and constant errors in trying to do my FADC U1 consistently (Cody), I get fed up easily and everything around me gets way more interesting suddenly.
Does anyone have any tips on staying focused or how I should be thinking when I’m getting ready for the training grind? I have only 60 hours spent on this game since June; I feel like I’m way behind for that much time spent.
Yeah it’s called discipline and passion.
Nothing good will ever come if you can’t endure the bad.
It ain’t called grinding for nothing. sigh
Try to break things down into parts. Focus on good form and doing things correctly.
Slow is steady, steady is fast.
How long have you been playing? If you’re new, you really shouldn’t be focusing on FADC combos. Get your BnBs and footsies down, then focus on higher execution.
I have my bnb’s down fine. I can do them consistently.
I found it easier to make L1 (PS3) the focus button on my arcade stick since I kept hitting the wrong buttons accidentally, maybe try assigning focus to a different button?
I can’t really think of any advice other than break it down into parts and don’t rush inputs, but you probably already know that since you can do your BnBs fine.
The only other advice I can think of is when you get frustrated just take a break or try something else out that might be easier to do. I dunno about what other disciplines you may practice but since I play piano I guess I can just apply the same practice mindset for that as I can for SF4’s execution.
To be fair though, an hour of failing to do anything would make me fed up and want to take a break, do something else/drop it for the day.
an hours may be too long to practice any one thing. Limit practice on one skill to 10 minutes tops. If you have an hour to practice, pick 6 things you want to learn and do each for 10 minutes. Sometimes as you are trying to learn new thing you need to limit the amount of time you do it and not over train. You need to give your mind time to process what you are doing and make the neural connections in your brain. For me the hardest thing was doing links. I would practice for hours and never could get my fingers to do what my mind wanted them to do. Honestly last week was the first time i did an honest link combo ending in a special in an actual match and I have been playing this game since late 2010. Relax
