Thanks for the replies.

I've been checking out some of the match videos and wasn't really clear on what to look for besides stealing combos so general answers helps a lot.

This is pretty much how my practice sessions go. I like to divide a combo into parts before building up the whole thing and then trying it out on the cpu to see how consistently I can land it.

I have some difficulty obtaining match experience as I am unable to wean my buddies off their respective games and my internet connection is unstable. A bunch of them play Tekken exclusively and get frustrated by 2d fighting mechanics or get easily intimidated when they see a better player. The other bunch plays SF4 and is more open to different fighting games although they prefer a slower pace.

Kohaku's Magical Garage / General questions and practice habits

« on: August 30, 2012, 11:50:46 AM »

Apologies if this topic has been done many times before, I'm new to learning the game and combos. Most of my previous fighting game experience relied heavily on zoning and poking rather than optimizing my damage through combos.

I have a few general questions regarding the game. I know some of these are character-specific but as a complete newbie to actually learning the game i just need a general idea about what to focus on. Please feel free to state character or match-specific scenarios.

What practice habits do you guys have when it comes to learning a character?

Is it more advisable to try and counter with a combo rather than a fairly safe special or normals?

How do you establish a solid defense in this game?

Outside of playing matches, what is the best way to learn the game?
