Best advice for picking up GG is to play a lot of player matches with someone you can ask questions w/ and be ok with losing a lot. Sign was my first GG and I lost over 100 matches straight against the same person before I could actually take rounds regularly.

Thanks! I don't mind losing but I want to have an idea of the very basics so I'm not wasting whoever's time. I need to eat my veggies and practice combos in the lab too which I'm historically bad at

just getting used to being in a match is the best practice in my experience. i wouldn't spend more than an hour or two in training, it's okay to rely on a few short combos.

Whenever the Xrd rollback patch goes live for real probably would be fun.

also sometimes it's fun to fall into the combo vortex where you're just doing like 6 inputs over and over again for 90 minutes without realizing it

It's also hype that a lot of locals are seeing some strive converts. Last week I saw a bunch at the Orlando monthly and it was so awesome. Hopefully we can see some more come out to stuff. And when rollback is officially out there's a 100% chance that TNS is gonna do weekly online tournaments

It's best not to think like this. If someone wants to play you they want to play so I wouldn't get hung up on "wasting their time". The only time I ever thought this playing someone was when I played the meth addicted lunatic yobgoblin after I discovered his input history and realized that he was never going to play like a normal person.

When I learned how to play fighting games I happily lost to drunk dinosaur jerk for 6 hours and he seemed to have a good time too. So this.

yeah the real answer is people who are legit will have fun with people of any level and can learn from playing people of any level. so its not a waste of time.

I also used to think like this and it was a big barrier to me ever playing at all. There's still a point where I feel like playing someone who's too much better than me is a waste of my time, though.

If you want to find people of a variety of skill levels to challenge it's probably best to join a discord, like the Imp Zone FGC for example

I've been wanting to seriously learn a fighting game for a while but the prospect has been daunting and I haven't liked the prospect of needing to buy a bunch of dlc characters, so xrd with rollback seems like a cool time to start even if it's not the hottest game any more. Got beat up by imps last night and it was fun, looking forward to more
