Practice.

play super turbo against people better than you, you'll get good fast

playing sfv with people AS good as you would probably take forever

By playing the video game long enough to build muscle memory to do the things you want to do without thinking about doing them while simultaneously addressing each and every mistake you make so you can find a solution to prevent the mistake from occurring in the future.

force yourself not to ever mash. Only hit the buttons you mean to, when you need to. Be aware when you start mashing. practice patients and judgement. Don't rely on special moves. Practice practice practice. With real people if you can, as large a variety that you can. Play people better than you, and understand that they are in fact BETTER THAN YOU. Don't get mad, learn and git gud.

patience* jesus fucking christ

THAT game requires you learn how to backdash correctly, which is bullshit and you know it.

Who the hell equates MOVEMENT with high level play? What the hell happened to move execution?

Whats wrong with utilising both combo execution and movement?

mash

Just play FighterZ and auto combo to victory

Can you casually enjoy dragon ball fighter z?

>do this
>lose out to mashers
>quit playing

Remember that learning to defend and punish your opponent's actions is just as important as learning how to play your own character. Blocking two-thirds of a string is pointless if you throw out an unsafe move and take the last hit.

>not being prepared to lose 150 matches in a row
Pussy

Rely on sheer fundamentals with no gimmicks, gimmicks work at a low level but will never work against someone who knows it.
You can clearly tell how good someone is at tekken by the way they move around in the game, I.e Korean backdashing

practice. play story mode. then go online and practice against people. try different characters too

>casual
NORMIES OUT REEEEE

>can't KBD
>Disgraceful Kick and Jaguar Steps away

A number of things can help, depending on the game. Such as doing doing tutorials and combo challenges, or watching videos of high-level play.

But the most important thing by far, what other people already said: practice. Like, a LOT of practice. As in, 1000+ hours to be able to play with the big boys. There really are no shortcuts.

Why would you want to git gud at fighting games? No seriously, what's the point if you're not Asian and born good at fighting games?

Not OP, but let's say you want to get into fighting games. What's THE game to play right now?

Tekken 7 or STV:AE

I like tekken more but it requires you to look a lot of basic shit up on youtube because there's no training mode

If you aren't born good, don't bother.

If you are, practice and PvP will work.

Pick A game. If that game you picked is fun for you, getting good is something that will come in time.

To an extent, I've seen people in Tekken with a thousand wins and are still in green ranks

I am shit at combos. I either press buttons too fast or too slow. Is there a rhythm or does next press depend on the move right before it?

Tekken 7
SF5 (unfortunately)
Dragon Ball FighterZ

If you dont mind older games, Fightcade supports all the big boy classics like Super Turbo, Alpha 3, KOF98 and so on

I would say Killer Instinct on PC as well

Play every day.

>being prepared to lose 150 times in a row
cuck

adapt and learn

>abandon social life if have one
>abandon other videogames unless fighting games
>bandon idea of ever getting laid
>abandon idea of winning for a long time
>abandon idea of having fun for a long time
>play till hands bleed against real players, cpu doesn't count
>repeat for 2000 hours

congrats now you are low tier decent, repeat for another 5000 hours and you'll be decent

fighter z is literally easier than smash bros

tfw only fighter im decent or atleast competent at is Soul Calibur, and that's just cause I can pick Kilik and poke all day.

street fighter 5 is fun desu, tons of cute girls too

are you me
fighting games for me are "pick the dude with the longest reach > keep faggots at bay > spam grabs when they get too close"

All of the above.

How do you know what those timings are? fighting games don't give you much feedback what button mashing I do is actually working.

Don't be white.

Sometimes it depends, but this game has magic series, so you just press the buttons one right after another. Make sure your moves hit before you press the next one. Try counting while you do your combo to get the proper timing down. You may also just naturally have bad rhythm, so you'll have to work harder than others. Don't worry about other people's learning curves, just figure out your own. Lastly, if you aren't having fun, stop playing. This isn't your job, you aren't forced to git gud.

Personally, I just try to feel my way around and see what makes what click.
Like I would test and see how strict timing is in order for a combo to work or to see if two moves simply cannot be used one after the other in a combo.

like if move A comes out if I input it during the previous attack or if it will only come out if I input it as soon as Move B finishes. it's a bit odd to put into words for me, but thats usually what I do. It atleast helps me eventually figure out the timeframe I have to input a new command. But don't quote me on that, i'm just as garbage as everyone else on Sup Forums

Maybe.
But user, only one of us can stay, and i'm sure as hell not leaving.

playing them against people who are better than you

All right. Thanks. Usually with inputs that can be chained don't always work for me. Like a lot of games have a LP, LK combo start but depending on the game, it can be a pain in the ass to always make them execute in a combo.

>play against someone with decent neutral/fundamentals and doesn't mash often
>have jolly time even if I get butt fucked
>play against some tunnel zoned unga masher
>Usually get overwhelmed and get fucked. Either if I win or lose I feel drained and just don't have any fun. I just can't fucking read these people.
I want to die.

What makes you think that you won't be looking shit up on SFV? They both require you to do your homework, personally T7 is simply miles away from SFV but hey, if you are going to spend time choose whichever you like the most, even if it's a simple reason like a cute character or the ost.

Lab

Be willing to lose and learn. Watch replays. Work on improving rather than getting easy wins. If you know something won't work against good players don't develop the habit. I lost like a motherfucker in SF4 before I started winning regularly.

I picked King in tekken first but I can't be bothered to remember shit like rolling death cradle so I ended up maining alisa

Basically this. I played a friend in GG Xrd (who is really good in UNIEL) and got my ass kicked so much, but I was slowly improving and never got mad at the losses. You just need the right mindset for fightan.

You keep your nose to the grindstone

I don't even play the character and i know how to do his death cradle cause i watched an aris tutorial god's fucking knows why. It's really easy, tekken adds up inputs, you just roll your fingers to 321 instead of pressing 1 12 123

>tfw white and great at fighting games

feels great to be part of both master races, bros

You can't avoid the grind, but it's much more than that. You need targeted practice to make yourself better. If you have the time, you learn not only how to use your main, but also the entire roster to learn their nuances. Tier lists exist, and are indicative of character stengths, but those differences are often slight. A character at top tier is also subject to the whims of the crowd who tend to use the same character that X pro player who won Y tournament did. If you know your shit, you can also be the literally who that comes along and bodies JWong with Adon.

You need to review your performance. For this I suggest you look up what survivorship bias is so you can recognize it and avoid falling into its traps. Basically for the purposes of improvement, you toss out all replays of your wins. You won't win much there. You review the replays where you lose, and you analyze where you made mistakes, and where you could've did something better. Success is a never ending ladder, and failure makes up its steps.

Consume all material there is to learn about the more advanced aspects of a fighting game. Move priorities, frames, etc, will give you a better understanding of the game and make you that much better.

Play against as many people as you can. Everyone brings something to the table, everyone approaches this in their own way. You need to experience all this so you can recognize and deal with all types.

You can apply these to anything in life.

>You won't win much there.
I meant learn. You won't learn much there.

Keep playing, but smarter, not harder. Don't just go on training mode and practice combos all the time. Also, don't be afraid to fight online, and don't use wifi, and avoid all 1 bar or lower connections. If you lose, don't blame the game, just review your losses and how it turned out that way.

A good way to learn a combo's rhythm is to go into training mode and turn on Recovery Animation in the Display menu. Any time your character's normally colored it's ready for some kind of input, but when you turn blue it means any further inputs will mostly be ignored until your color comes back. Sometimes you can use those no-input frames to hold down extra buttons or buffer d-pad motions.

Play and enjoy the game. Try to analyze your flaws and learn from those who already know how to play.

After years of casual play and a few months of real consistent practice i am just now beginning to overcome mashers and unga bunga assholes.

The thing that did it for me with coming to terms with the fact that 'its my fault' that im losing. Better players would beat this masher 100 times in a row and I can too. Then you analyze it like you would anything else.

A masher gets ahead of you because you dont respect their mashing.

Dragon Ball FighterZ is the best for a new player, the best fighting game overall, and the most popular (besides shit fighter). SFV sucks ass and has massive input lag while Tekken is extremely weird and difficult to learn. GG Xrd is straightforward but extremely fast and technical. Blazblue is real good. Melty Blood is great but it's 10 years old and no one plays it. No one plays UNIEL but totally autistic people constantly shill it. It's a bad and ugly game. KOF is badder and uglier but not as autistic as UNIEL.

Just play DBFZ. Seriously. It's also the ONLY fighting game that you can play with a pad. I am not exaggerating. You will need to drop $100 or more to get an arcade stick with Jap parts to play ANY other game.

This but the pad part is completely BS, the 2 besr sf5 players are pad players, i know tons of people that play tekken on pad and the 2 best local GG players here play pad, and they play technical chars too

i thought it isnt out yet?

Find whatever it is in that game that will force people of the same level that you're starting out on, to either reconsider their actions or lose. Once you do that you'll level up enough to fight people with at least some hint of nuance, which will then with enough application cause you to adapt naturally and learn what it is you need to improve on at that moment.

In SF it is anti-airing
In Marvel it is good movement
In tekken it is good interupting moves like low jabs, and properly reacting to the difference between hit moves and blocked moves
In Arcsys games it is good proper punishing.

cheat

>dbfz is the best for a new player
disagree, mechanically the games a shitshow that would be hard as hell to explain to anyone if they have no knowledge of GG/umvc3, let alone no knowledge of fighting games as a whole
>DBFZ is the ONLY fighting game that you can play with a pad
thats also incredibly false and shows a lot about the poster

Despite this random guy's giant list of complaints. Its true that DBFZ is currently indeed the "In" game at the moment with its release on Friday and the incredibly thorough marketing exposure.

The best fighting game to start on is the one with the most people playing at the moment. It opens up for the most opportunities to meet your local community and poses the most variety of competition for someone to grow as a player. Its fun to grow as a community when your regional comes around and you're rooting for your boys to beat those scumbags from Florida in the MM.

>quit T7 because I'm bad and it's not fun
>yet I still play SFV

Naruto Storm 4

>want to play fighting games
>no local
>too much latency for online

Is there a game where I can at least get okay against AI or something?

Play Dark Souls
