Practicing in the combo training mode is also helpful for seeing what you can do. Against easy computer, you usually can just get away with using Focus attack and then the combo of your choice. Of course, if you ask here, I'm sure we can all help you out with any questions you have
haha really? He owned me bad. I was just spamming my joystick and facesmashing the buttons hoping I'd be god like how I won when I was a kid at camp. I used to play street fighter on an arcade machine and we'd line up vs'ing each other taking turns defeating one another.
That might work on some actually. Shane is an A tier player so he's just gonna run you over if you do that. Generally 3k BP and higher are really good players if they don't cheat.
Oh..thanks!! I finally knew that the us version volt can't have match with the japanese version. They are two different apps so can have link play....sigh....
Next time we play I will train you. I have to warn you though, its going to be annoying but you will learn something.
I are noob comrade, I know 3 hit combo with Ken, I dominate anyone here like I do in russian foosball table. Challenge me if you Dare, I will be sure to add your potatoes to my collection, in the name of mother russia!
I think one of the most common problems with learning a fighting game is people don't grasp that you are not going to be rewarded for the same bad play. If you lose to someone you can't leave that match going "well mashing didn't work on that guy" you have to actively determine what lost you the match. Were you hovering on wake up, were you throwing out full screen uppercuts, were you uppercutting without enough meter to cancel out of it etc. Also recognize your opponents habits and play styles, ultimately each character has a specific way they need to be played and then each individual puts their own flavor on it so by paying attention to their play style you are also learning the match up. Spend time learning a basic punish combo and let your opponent make mistakes at first and punish them with it, it's all about baby steps with a game like this you can't go in blind and expect to be any good at all players at this level will eat you alive and it doesn't help we have been at it for awhile the best thing you can do is take the time to learn match ups. Go through arcade mode a few times to get a basic handle on your character and how they fair against other characters eventually you'll notice little improvements in your own game. This game and it's counterparts can be very rewarding to learn on a personal level but will take a lot of time and energy at first.
Since we're talking about strategy, I'll just link this here http://sonichurricane.com/?page_id=1702 One of the texts for advanced SF play
I think there's also probably some very basic fundamentals that need to be learned, things like spacing, blocking high vs low, what a "combo" is, jumping back vs walking back, jumping. I'm not sure all those things are immediately apparent to someone picking up the game, without some instruction. I have friends complaining "but I was blocking!", without knowing that there's a difference between blocking high, blocking low, and being unable to block because they were trying to do a move, or were recovering from a move. I'm sure there are some excellent "Day 1 Street Fighter Primer" youtube videos out there. Anybody seen anything like this before?
Actually yes. I think its called basics for scrubs or something like that. Ill try and find it on the youtubes. While it was really basic it was also really comprehensive. @The link harlequin rogue posted, thats great stuff, i recommend everyone here reads it. Alot of it is irrelevant for volt but still defintley worth reading. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel heres one episode of it, i think there might be a few more
Yeah, started 2 days ago. I think harlequin rogue posted this a few pages back. I might send you an invite later but im on 3g right now.
I mentioned that some 18 hours ago It's like you guys don't even read the stuff people posted. (Like some Guile resets I was trying yesterday. I'll put up a replay when I get them off)
