I’m relativily new to fighting games in general, but one day about two years ago I picked up skullgirls and fell in love with it. Played a lot of arcade mode, did the stories, but as soon as I hopped online. I basically stood no chance. Many matches I’ve played I get totally stomped, constant combos where it almost feels cheap. However, I know this is the game, and the fighting game style that skullgirls is. I’ve always strayed from these kind of fighting games.
However, as I love the game so much. I don’t want to just throw it aside because I can’t adapt.
This helps me a lot:
go to training mode,
slow down speed to 50-75%,
and hit your basic combos.
When you see the spark of a landed hit(yellow), press the next button as soon as it lands.
also enable the stun meter to know how many ticks you have before the hit stun ends.
