okay, ive been playing MB for a while now but am just starting to get decent. i can beat the hell out of the computer with anyone, and usually win against my incredibly limited playgroup. i am now trying to learn some serious game stuff, or even the 'beginner' stuff like, say, akiha's bnb (if there is anything easier please let me know). i can manage either part of it (ground/air) separately but can never get off the ground fast enough to hit properly. i have tried both IAD and sj, but what are the exact inputs? if someone could use input on practice and show the exact input and frames on a couple simple bnb's and other strings that would be insanely helpful.
also, i play on my laptop (4-way dpad *cringes*), and have recently gained access to an xbox controller and a USB numpad. which should i be using, why, and how should i get used to using it.
