LockedAndClush Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 It all depends on multiple factors. If your theoretical knowlege of the game and/or genre is good enough to comprehend what happened in such a disadvantageous match, sure, you'll learn. Better yet, if you could play that person multiple times. But if you can't even understand why you lost, there's nothing to learn except the fact that you're not yet good enough for online play. The only thing I can agree on without any disscusion is that you should never get salty. Been there, done that, spare yourself the time spent angry and practice. Also, I hope the community around Xrd avoids the syndrome that destroyed any community around here - the scrub leading the scrubs.

Yukikaze Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 You could mash through a lil bit faster. I didn't realise you could speed up the text at first. So took me longer, if you wanted to read it all properly.
Luminos564 Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 It all depends on multiple factors.

Better yet, if you could play that person multiple times. But if you can't even understand why you lost, there's nothing to learn except the fact that you're not yet good enough for online play. Basically what I was trying to get at earlier. Not everyone has the ability to analyze and comprehend what the game is showing them. Turorials and challenges only teach you so far. For the former it can tell you how to do X and what it does, but it is likely a newer player will not understand the actual importance of something like Faultless Defense (and even further, Tension management) until they actually get into a match against another person. Challenges are a mixed bag I find. They can give you the idea of what combos into what, but it's a toss-up if they understand the implication that they should be memorizing them as opposed to just completing them. It's an even bigger toss-up whether or not they can pull it off against an opponent coming after them. The only thing I can agree on without any disscusion is that you should never get salty. Been there, done that, spare yourself the time spent angry and practice. Second this. This is probably THE single most important thing for fighting games and its players. Losing is frustrating. Even more so if you just got wrecked hard and it only becomes more vicious if you yourself do not understand why it happened or if the winner decides to get their kicks by insulting you (because let's be honest, no every player is the friendly sort). It is simply detrimental to you to be frustrated because then you'll keep making more mistakes when you normally wouldn't, losing more, getting more angry and it just spirals. Learning to deal with loses is the best thing you can do when starting out in any fighting game, regardless of how many of them you've played up to now. It's why I will periodically step out of my comfort zone and go get wrecked by someone super good online just to make sure I never get to a point where I think I am "hot shit" just because I beat some people.
Narroo Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Honestly, it depends; you need a mix of matches. Usually, fighting people around you're skill level with the occasional monster fight is best, I find. If you fight only the best, you'll probably learn nothing anything soon. Remember, your opponent is human too. If they're dominating you that much and are actually good, it should be easy for them to adjust to whatever you "learn." At the same time, it's always nice to see a bit of high level play. Ultimately though, you need to be able to practice whatever you learn to make it working knowledge of the game and you can't do that if you're being shutdown. Plus, not everyone is amazing at the game and playing lower skill players makes you a bit more well rounded against all skill levels and gives you an understanding of what works and what doesn't, and why.
Soviet Bear Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 How do you make a private room on a PS4 and -invite- friends? I can make a room but apparently, the invitation part is different from the PS3...
Dreiko Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 If you fight only the best, you'll probably learn nothing anything soon. Remember, your opponent is human too. If they're dominating you that much and are actually good, it should be easy for them to adjust to whatever you "learn." Focusing on this is the exact wrong mentality. Learning won't mean you'll beat the way way more experienced player. Learning is done for its own intrinsic value. You learn...to learn! When you go and play someone you had played before after having had a good 4 hour long session against someone way better than you, then, then you'll notice that you actually learned stuff. It'll be like returning to normal gravity after a while training in the 30x gravity pod. You'll feel the results of your learning then. Don't decide you're not learning anything just cause you're not WINNING. Just not dying as quickly is plenty significant. Expecting to learn in a way that will allow you to actually win or to actually surpass the level of adjustment a way better than you player can summon is not realistic and it is not helpful either. Just expect to learn and nothing more. The problems come only when people expect more than that and then get disappointed/frustrated for failing to meet these unrealistic expectations that they never had any chance of meeting in the first place. It's mostly an ego thing and while it's easy for some of us to say, it really IS better for your skill as a player overall to put your ego aside and just decide you'll lose and learn for a while when playing a new game.
ChexGuy Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Any news on the EU release? Rice Digital is releasing the EU version, pre-orders are up. Pre-orders get sick Ishiwatari-drawn art prints.
Tokkan Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Rice Digital is releasing the EU version, pre-orders are up. Pre-orders get sick Ishiwatari-drawn art prints. No they're not. They're selling imports of the US version.
sren Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Any news on the EU release? guess might take a while 'till it gets translated to Italian, German, French, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Esperanto, etc...
LockedAndClush Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Well, this is a lame question... Is there a trick to inputing recoveries? Or am I supposed to just mash the shitt out of my buttons untill it happens? I miss the BB/P4 "hold a button" techs.
o Nereus o Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 On to the topic of learning, I remember facing a guy in ranked on BBCP. After so many losses, he sends me a message telling me to stop fighting him because im just going to lose. I fight him right after he sends that message and i beat him. So you're probably thinking i stopped playing him right? Nope.. kept playing him over and over and over until he decided to stop playing me. The guy wasn't really that good to be honest but that isn't the point of why i said this. The point is that when you know you'r entering a losing battle, or fighting a friend who's leagues above you, don't focus solely on winning. You want to focus on your opponent's options and what they're doing to you and ASK QUESTIONS. Getting your ass kicked is a part of learning, and even though losing badly can be discouraging the best way to level up is to fight these type of players who are.. well.. kicking your ass and know what they're doing lol. Just have a mindset in which you know all of these losses are going to pay off in the long-run. I'm going through this pretty heavily as I'm fairly new to anime fighters myself (Bought BBCP mid-july and first GG i've played seriously).
ChexGuy Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 No they're not. They're selling imports of the US version. ouch, I didn't see that part.
Jocelot Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 So the wait for NA Xrd is literally killing me so I've decided to import (or buy off JPN PSN). Game is 5,980 Yen but the only increments of points you can get via Playasia is 5000 (too little) and 10,000 (waaaaaaaaay too much). I guess I could get a 5000 yen and a 1000 yen but man, the struggle is real.
Putin Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 You can get two 3k yen cards lol, also it's cheaper on the HK ps store
Mumm-Ra Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Get more, remember leo comes out in like a week.
Jocelot Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 You can guy two 3k yen cards lol, also it's cheaper on the HK ps store Ahh, didn't see a 3000y option. Still, the amounts add up. Also, how much cheaper we talking about? If it's only a bit cheaper I may just stick to the JPN version because I'm a lazy ninja and don't feel like making a HK account unless I have to. Get more, remember leo comes out in like a week. That is also true. I'm thinking of saving DLC like Leo n Elphelt for the NA version, so when I get that I can transfer it all over when I get a PS4 in the future.
SoWL Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Last time I checked, the difference between two 3000 Yen cards and 300+80 HK$ is around 11$. Also, HK gets Elphelt for free.
Orrax Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Well, this is a lame question... Is there a trick to inputing recoveries? Or am I supposed to just mash the shitt out of my buttons untill it happens? I miss the BB/P4 "hold a button" techs. Not exactly. You have to time it. That said, if you want to mash, it's generally a good idea to mash so you immediately get FD after your tech.
LockedAndClush Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Not exactly. You have to time it. That said, if you want to mash, it's generally a good idea to mash so you immediately get FD after your tech. Sometimes it's obvious when to tech, but sometimes you're just counting on your opponent slipping up. Slowly mashing two buttons at the same time holding back seems the "safest" way to me, at least you get the FD you mention.
Jocelot Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 Juuuuuuuuuuuust waiting for Play-asia to send me the codes for my PSN cards. Then it's time for Xrd! Can't wait to rock the BED!!
