Help starting out

[waytodawn96]

Hey everyone! I'm new to the whole fighting game scene. I recently picked up BBCPEX on the vita and I'm loving it. The only problem is that i'm pretty garbage and i don't seem to be improving :/. I understand the basic concepts of fighting games but i'm finding button inputs to be quite difficult for each character, let alone starting a combo with said inputs. That being said, I found a potential main and sub and I wanted to know if there were any fellow beginners that were willing to spar at some point.

What you're gonna wanna do first is the tutorial. Thing actually is pretty dang useful if you can stomach it.

After that try finding a character that suits your needs and your tastes. Practice with then, learn their theories and skills and learn about your opponents through them.

Getting better at the game is a matter of fighting players and practicing new ideas and inconsistent tech in training mode. When you first start fighting other players don't go into a match having winning as your only goal (try to have goals like "land X combo" or "do Y blockstring" or "instant block Z move."

The goals can be as simple or complex as you need them to be. but definitely set them.

Lastly observe what others do, and think critically about their actions. Why is this player successful why did they chose to do X over Y in situation Z? When you're stumped don't be afraid to ask questions as that's one of the surest ways to get good data.

In conclusion, don't worry about being good or bad right now. Just improve every day and you'll be good before too long.
