Hi everyone, just started playing BB a few months ago, maining Tager. I've never played a fighting game "seriously" before BB, and certainly not one this combo-intensive.
A while ago it occurred to me that being intimately familiar with the rest of the cast's combos would be a huge advantage, as it lets you know when you can tech, when not to tech, what moves you need to watch out for as potential combo starters, when to burst most effectively etc. Probably pretty obvious to anyone who's played fighting games for a while, but for me it was a revelation.
So I started trying to complete everbody's challenge mode, or at least the first few missions, since it seems like those are usually fairly standard BnBs, figuring it would be easier to memorize them if I could actually pull them off myself.
The problem is, it's taking forever. I have most of Tager's non-obscure combos down pretty solidly, but on the other hand lol Tager combos. I figured it would start getting easier after the first few, but so far at least that hasn't been the case. I'm wondering if this time couldn't be better spent practicing something else. Do you think it's worth it to master the combo repertoire of everyone in the cast, or would watching videos and trying to memorize the most commonly used combos suffice? Also, I'm playing pad right now. Do you think getting a stick would affect this process at all?
Thanks in advance.
