276 hours is not a lot of time if this your first fighting game, many people have played for thousands of hours. In your replays we can see you mashing on inputs and missing a lot of moves. Further you play juri on pad, much less a fightpad, so you’ll never do well with her unless you use all of your fingers all the time which is very awkward and I dont think there is any juri player who has managed to do it. I strongly suggest you switch characters or get a stick. Don’t complain that your partner is a “tryhard”, he’s trying to win and so are most players. He even plays Gen, which is one of the most difficult characters. You should also branch out and play more people if you want to get better, look for a local scene first and if that fails play random people online. The reason he says those things is because he’s a bit of a dick but also because he doesn’t think he should lose to players of your skill level, which is indicative of holes within his own game. So the best thing you can do is get over your fear/hate/salt of playing random people so you don’t have to play him all the time.
I have no problem with the friendly smack talk and all that. Its when it turns into a league of legends you should go die in a hole talk that ruins things for me. Even if its not aimed at me. It just makes me feel bad so I just choose to avoid it altogether. Its just not needed in my opinion. But thats a bit off topic I suppose.
There’s people who don’t know how to develop people. People always want you to succeed, just not more than them. If you’re in the bay, I highly recommend playing local. The East Bay/Penninsula/South Bay/North Bay all have their scene. Just be part of it.
Damn, that guy actually sucks. I feel like he’s playing on a 4 button stick mapped only to Fierce, Roundhouse, 3P, 3K. lol.
I know right now against him it’s really obvious when something is unsafe on your wakeup and you can punish with DP/Ultra, but once you play someone decent you’ll find there are approaches that make their pressure on your wakeup safe, so you might want to hold back on waking up with buttons unless you’re 110% sure what they’re doing is unsafe. Once people start safe jumping or come in with very ambiguous jump in setups, you’re gonna throw so many games because of that habit of waking up with something.
But yeah that guy just hits buttons all day, I don’t think he’s worth your time d: no idea how he got to 2.8K PP.
They were still on AE. Play ranked enough and it isn’t exactly hard to get that many points. I have an A rank with Rog and a B rank with Makoto with near 4K PP and I still drop basic shit so seeing this guy with 2800 isn’t very surprising.
