Hello, I've lurked around here since GGX2 and have always loved fighting games....but I suck at them.
I've kinda grown up with the "button mash" mentality and am currently trying to break out of it but I have no clue where to even start to go from "button mashing n00b" to someone who knows how to actually play.
How would I begin to improve my gameplay? My awareness of match consists of "murder the opponent by mashing" and not paying attention to even my own life bar or super meter. I picked up BBCSX today, did all the tutorials and am doing Noel's challenge mode now. I wish to main Noel because I used to practice her combos in CT (too bad they completely changed her :@).
Combos aside, what mind of mindset or gameplay mechanics should I focus on first? I realize that I have very little (or none) defensive skills. Should I start by letting a computer bash on me for hours and just attempt to block everything?
Thanks!
