I NEVER GIVE UP FOREVAAAAA
Sorry, I just got through watching Gundam 0080. But yeah, keep playing human opponents. It could take months before things finally start to click but you gotta press on.
Hmmm funny you should say that cause the therapist I know isn’t cheap, but a damn good rapist.
Anyways I have never won a tournament or placed any were near the top. I know why that is because I don’t train with serious players before tournaments. The only training I do get is at these tournaments. I don’t have patients when it comes to competitive games like SF3. I’m always trying to make something happen. In all honesty, I actually see these tournaments as paying to learn. I know that I’m giving money away, but it doesn’t mean that I will not get better. I’m better then when I first started playing competitively almost 3 years ago and I’m still learning stuff about the games I play. Obviously you are not as good as you thought you were, so you have 2 options. You can quit, save money, and relieve yourself of stress or you can play some more until you feel that competitive gaming has reached it’s limits for you.

Just realize that it is going to take a very long time to get good at any fighting game. I just started playing more capcom fighters about a year ago and I know I am a complete scrub. I am slowly learning though. Find somebody that is close to your skill level and play with them. That is how I get better. You both will slowly and surly improve as I am, but they got to be as dedicated as you.
Preach on brother
I’m no pro. I’m not even good, but at this stage what I do is presume that to become a great player, I will need experience ranging far and wide. So I’m going to SC4 tourneys, CvS2 tourneys, ST tourneys, whatever, just playing good players. One day I might choose one game and stick with it, but not yet. Why limit yourself at such an early stage?
Honestly though, I agree with Cigarbob. People confront this everyday and don’t whine. Especially GG players. If you play GG, you’ll give up even on learning the combos. Even the most simplistic combos with a character can take months to learn.
I agree until the combos. The combos in GG are easy, it’s just the match-ups that suck to learn.
I haven’t played in years, but I was under the impression GG combos were downplayed anyway due to damage reduction, and were also very easy to time?
In Accent Core, everyone has combos that do hella damage. And it’s usually not that the combos are hard per say, but rather that they’re all situational and character specific.
Hm, and it didn’t seem to me that accent core was all that different to reload.
Guess I was wrong.
Maybe for a slayer player. Try playing Ino. :arazz:
Hey, let’s try playing each other next time. You know, with a lot more feeling and less dropping of combs. Ugh…:wasted:
…
DS: If we did that, it would ruin the magic, hahaha.
???
Stop bitching and play.
Here’s the thing, if you accept that you’re losing because you’re a scrub, you’ll stay a scrub.
One parable for a couple years ago. I was getting absolutely slaughtered by a top tier player in VF5. I didn’t know the game, but after I told him I scrubbed it up, he said “no you didn’t” I could tell it was inexperience and learning, you kept trying to do something different if things weren’t working.
Losing because you’re doing the same thing over and over is stupidity. Losing because you’re trying different approaches and they aren’t working- eventually you’ll find something that at least somewhat works.
That said, I proceeded to keep losing constantly to him over and over, but in different ways. Occasionally I’d steal one. I truly didn’t have the talent to be good in the game, but I did keep improving and become decent. Even without talent, you can become decent in a game, and at least a respectable threat to top players.
If you read Ippo any, think of characters like Take and Aoki when I say this.
Some characters have combos that work on every character, nothing specific. For example, Venom’s best B&B. Even then, it’s still hard. Even the best Venom player in japan opts to do easier combos in tight situations sometimes because of how inconsistent you can be with the combo. GG doesn’t have any simple jump in roundhouse, low forward xx fireball combo that’s actually really good, and that you can learn in seconds. They all take at least hours to perfect in training mode, and then even longer to be able to perform them consistently while playing.
FRC’s in general take weeks to months to be able to hit it EVERY single time, and those are just simple press of 3 buttons at a specific time.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with playin’ against the AI. But for me personally, I kept usin’ only the AI to get my 3S/ST fix instead of playin’ against others after awhile.
I had it in my mind that I would play the AI for awhile before goin’ back to 2DF/GGPO. You know, try shit out on my own. But it never happened. I was just straight up limitin’ myself.
SFHD will be my fresh start though…word.
Damn do they ever take time to learn. Most of the time I go for something simpler just because it’s reliable. For instance, I’ve been playing more with Potemkin recently, and I know a combo or two involving an FRC that leads to big damage. However, most of the time it is simply safer and way more reliable to use a different attack to pop them up and grab them with heat knuckle, or HPB. The gattling shit is very easy to do execution wise, but when you get into the deeper parts of the game and things like FRC combos, it gets a good bit harder.
