Hi. Let me start off by saying that although this is my first post on these forums, I have been looking at them for quite some time. I started to really get into guilty gear and the character Sol badguy and began studying moves on this forum and also started watching videos from the sol badguy thread about videos from tournaments. I began to feel really confident with my pressure game, and also my ability to land a move then without thinking know how to follow up successfully to bring down a huge portion of the opposing players life. (I basically mimic'd the videos I saw with sidewinder loops etc. I never really understood terminology in the combos thread until recently.)
Here is where I get to the part where I say I need help. I don't own Blazblue yet, but I am staying at my friends for the next 2 weeks. Watching videos of blazblue, I kind of saw a lot of similarities between Sol and Ragna (obviously) and I kind of assumed he'd be my character. So far, especially because of how easy he is to pick up, I feel like I control him best despite my attempts to learn other characters. The problem is however, after 2-3 days roughly of playing and and about 60-70 games played, I have only won roughly 20. The reason I post this is is because I like Ragna, and have been playing it, but I can't quite figure out why I have so much trouble winning. Sometimes I face really good people (at least, to my feelings right now) and I can somewhat keep up with them while struggling to grasp the differences in the game. So I can maybe take a round from them, then next game I lose to somebody I know I should have beat.
I am not quite sure if possibly, that I am having trouble adjusting to the mechanics of Blazblue, but I feel as if I am not exactly doing well with Ragna. I have gone into practice, and tried to learn almost all his moves listed in the combo thread. I second guess myself a lot when getting pressured with ragna and feel somewhat confused as to what moves to use to escape successfully while blocking.
Well please leave some feedback, and hopefully some good tips. I kind of can't help but feeling that I am being to hard on myself, but on the other hand I feel that I shouldn't be losing to half the people I am losing to. One last thing, if this is kind of confusing or you can't really pick out anything because it's a little jumbled, I'm sorry. I am a little flustered because of just losing to an Arakune player and am upset because I made a mistake I know I shouldn't have.
