How long did it take -you- to get proficient with your main?

Not. XD

I've been playing fighting games forever, but I'm definitely not a top tier player. The terminology eludes me, a lot, and there are some times when I'm golden, or my instincts kick in and it all works and there are other times when I know what I want to do, but I just can't make it happen.

I'm okay with pretty much all the characters (except for Carl... poor poor Carl.) but I'm not really good with any of them. XD I'd like to think Hazama and Rachel were my mains, but... sometimes I just get my ass handed to me on a silver platter when I should have won. I don't know. I don't think I'll ever be good...

I mostly just play to watch the characters do their thing.

After seeing these two posts on top of this one, I now see myself as neither a good player nor a bad one, because I just play with my friends at someone else's house.

We can never tell if we are good or bad, besides, it's just a game. Don't take it too seriously.

A full year of CT(first fighting game I ever played).... When my friend found the shortcuts I thought he was god. GOD!!. I had absolutely no idea how he was pulling out all of his moves so easily and he didn't tell me for like 2weeks:arg:. Followed by 2months to just be able to use my special moves, 3 months of combo and half a year or so worth of practice until CS came out. After struggling through CT, CS only took like a month...Though i still screw up bullet storm online..

Well at the beginning it took me quiet a while for learning to play with jin like 3-5 weeks .

After that i tried nu and i learned to play her a lot faster like 1 week.

Now i play CS and my Main is Valkenhayn and it took only the last weekend for me to play with him like im doin

nothin else . Maybe im trying Tsubaki or Makoto next.

4 month for me to main 6 characters and i use them all pretty equally, fastest way 2 learn is with youtube obviously

and some characters took me only a week or less to master since they r so easy, namely tager and ragna

well i dont know if im actually good with valkenhayn but I'm actaully winning pretty good amount of fights after 3 months of practicing. as for fighting background. I button mashed the hell out of SFII. all i can say is that my nintendo could take a serious beating. about ten years later I mainly play BB and i mostly work on trying to make myself a better BB player

took me about 1 day. after that I played online and did very well.

And yes I come from a fighting game background. My first fighting game was Street Fighter Alpha 3

Took me a few weeks of practice to be able to beat decent people with Mu. Or at least hold my own against people whom i know are better at their main than I am.

Also I find it really funny that i dont know a single combo with Valkenhayn but still seem to be able to constantly win matches with him. I was thinking of learning him but i think he's just my new Troll character (up from Tager lol) Valk's mixup game is way too easy to abuse.

Took me a 2 months to be efficient with Nu-13 and a month for Lambda 11. Am crazy enough to learn the move list and then jump into the online battlefield and get beat up! I always prefer actual exeperince & learn from there over training mode. But its a heavenly decree fact that I will never be jaw-droppingly-good with them!

I didnt know dustloop up until now and suprisingly learned quiet alot about my main!

Proficient is different from person to person. You can always get better and learn more about your character and matchups and anything.

i can't say i'm proficient until i can place consistently in tournaments.

if that's the case then it's 5 months and ongoing.

CT Jin 6 months

CT Noel 2 days

Cs Jin 1 week

Cs Hakuman 2 weeks

Cs Valkin 5 days ( Just got him and hes pretty easy to use and combo string)

I suppose a few weeks, I never really tried that hard to be proficient until I re-bought CS and actually made an effort to learn some stuff.
