It’s about a month later so I should update you all
I started blocking more
Started learning my basic BnBs
I still lose a lot but it’s to be expected since I play with people who are… well better than me (SJ, Hebi, Macarratti, Kail, Beam)
The thing is what I have learned for sure is that one
I am not a pad person at heart but I am learning hard to become one until I can afford a stick.
2, I tend to unknowingly use people with pretty hard execution for beginners like me (Juri/Viper)
I’m not going to quit or go to another game but I think that I will have time to improve over winter break.
How good you get depends on how much you want it and how much time your willing to put into it. Make sure you use your critical thinking skills to understand and evaluate your play so that you know how to improve yourself. Some people will improve faster than others, but the fact is your improvement in fighting games is measured in months and years rather than hours and days. It takes a lot of dedication to get very good at fighting games. Most shit that certain humans are born better at like reaction time is really negligible in the long run, especially in SF4. The most important thing for you to do is think critically to understand the game engine and put a lot of time into the game playing good opponents offline. If you have access to an offline scene absolutely take advantage of that because you will level up 10 times as fast. Online is a good place to get your base, but you need offline to actaully become a skilled player.
Play until you get good. Fighting games take years to get good at. Take James Chen for example, he’s a respectable player but he isn’t considered a top player and he’s been playing for ages, but he doesn’t give up. He keeps trying to better himself and as a result he gets better.
