Fairly new to GG

[Prime99]

So I got this game last month and I am having a blast. However this is my first GG game since Reload on the original xbox.

I play a lot of SF4 and this game I forgot how much faster than sf4.

My question to the community is what kind of training regements would you recommend? I played online for the first time and got bodied. I am learning Slayer ATM

Sorry for the belated response.

Start with the Challenge mode combos to get an understanding of what's possible with Slayer. It will help you learn how to move around the screen as well.

Beyond that, the best resource is the Slayer character board. I could tell you specific tech with Slayer (for example, he has a different length forward dash depending on whether you hold forwards or let go, which lets you set up left-right mixups), but that board is the best place to get accurate information of what Slayer is capable of and analyzing what styles of play are strong.

Starting with a group of people who are better than you is great. As you get better at the game, you'll eventually begin to build your own opinions which may disagree with theirs, but for now take everything they say as basically true. As for finding these people, locals are the best resource. Beyond that, look online in the regional matchmaking/PSN netplay threads.

I would also recommend reading everything about the System Mechanics at the bottom of the linked page. It will take time for it all to sink in, but if something happens that you can't explain in game, odds are the System Mechanics pages will help you piece together what happened. Beyond that, don't be afraid to ask questions, especially if they're very specific. Things like "how do I get good at Xrd?" are a lot harder to answer than "how do I anti-air with Slayer?", and an even better question would be "In what situations would you use Slayer's 6P to anti-air May instead of 2S?". The more specific a question, the more helpful the answers will be. That said, if you need to ask a more general question, go for it.
