CF discourse uh
Online sucks
But you can learn how to play with this great thing called training mode that most of the player base isn't very good at using
and it's also very ok to take Ls online
Two players in particular ran their shit on my for literal years across multiple versions.
When I played them in bracket offline, for the first time, I won.
The player base needs to learn how to learn better.
Me and Leo got to a decent level by only playing each other, occasionally doing $1 locals, and doing training mode.
When DBFZ and BBTAG came out he focused on that so I only had online and training mode, primarily training mode, and then I made Top 24 at CB.
If you just don't know how to block a character, try stuff.
If nothing is on the line, see if you can bust out of certain setups, find out what's fake.
Then go to training mode, use the recording, record the high/low/throw from the same point.
If you have trouble with one in particular, lower the probability of the others, see if you can get it, than reverse it, make the harder option the least likely, and practice til you get it 5 times in a row, move on to another character.
Rotate through the cast.
If there's multiple points, start with 4, close your eyes and change two of them without knowing which ones, if you recognize a pattern, change them again. Keep going.
My defense still isn't amazing but it's a hell of a lot better than it used to be from doing this.
I'm still mid-level at best, I have a few upsets, and decent regional placings, but there's still far more I can learn. Don't stop learning.
That said if you need to stop, stop, take a break, play another FG (Persona lately has been super fun!) or something else.
This is just my process. Ragna still bodies me for the most part. Terumi overhead and strike/throw used to destroy me, but i'm far better at it now.
Mess with characters that are weird to you, if something feels weird to do that blow you up normally, look into it maybe it's fake
This doesn't work for every game. Older ones in particular don't have the training mode to do this for, but most modern ones do. Get friends together in discord, do it in the background of a call or figure stuff out together. It's not that hard.
Alright, i'm good.
I love CF, I wanna be better at it.
I want everyone to be better at it.
