hello, me again.
I just reached 8th lord on umvc3 and now I’m facing some frustrating issues. During my times as a rookie-fighter rank, i faced opponents that were about my skill level, and during those matches I was winning for about 85% of them. I thought I was doing great and I felt proud of my performance. Then I got to 9th lord. As soon I got to this rank, I started to face other 9th lords as well, now my win loss ratio dropped to about 75%. but as soon as i hit 8th lord that is were things go downhill, I started to lose to professionals with win-loss ratios like 500 wins and 120 losses. i felt frustrated on my losses and I dropped from a lord to a ranger and my win - loss ratio is about 45% right now. I know i have to learn from my losses but how can I learn anything if I just got my ass kicked by a 4th lord with combos that I cannot comprehend?. Can someone please help me improve on my games?
Forget about the combos for a second, they’re just a natural outgrowth of two other things that are at work here: spacing and movement.
Rather than focusing on the end-result of what you’re getting hit by (combos), think of how you’re getting hit (setups). Is it Teleport + Beam, tri-dash mixups? Your own characters placement on the screen is a necessary ingredient in getting such things to work. If you’re staying at ground level all the time, then you’re primed for a teleport + beam approach. If you superjump with characters with poor air mobility, you’re practically begging to be dash-under crossed up or air thrown. Once you figure out how people are hitting you, work out how you can avoid or defend against those situations. (Of course, being Marvel, sometimes it just comes down to a lucky guess, but even so you should work to minimize those kinds of situations as much as possible.)
