Ding ding!
Some people learn faster. One person can pick up a fight stick and master the hardest combo in a day. Someone else it might take a month. You can get there, you just have to work a lot harder. And do NOT get into the hopeless mindset. If I get good vs someone who has been playing it alot longer than me, that is an even bigger victory.
Yes, there simply are better players out there. There will be people with a higher natural ability, but I did not mean there is no way to get on their level by doing what you can. On the other hand, lets take the 15 year arcade veteran who could do combos in their sleep versus the player completely new to the genre. It's going to end ugly, and chances are by the time the lifespan of the game is over, they still might not be on the same level as the veteran. That is out of our control. And yes, sorry if it makes some of you sad, but there are going to be people that you'll never be better than. If you took up basketball at age 21, you are NEVER going to be better than Michael Jordan. It's just something you have to accept.
You always have to push yourself to learn. Do not be closed minded, take everything you can from everyone around you, learn the best of the best, push away the worthless. Develop your own way.
