Hey Diff, when are you playing with us?
I keep thinking the best kind of training tool would be something like Magic the Gathering's. They have an online mentoring mode where players get a one on one training mode.
Something like that for fighting games would be boss. Like you could have a 2P training mode (those exist) but player two is any online player looking to mentor/learn.
There's a million ways to help people learn and actually care enough to keep playing these games, some of them incredibly easy to implement, like online training. Capcom is just terrible at anything other than designing the core game. I think they just have no idea how a casual player approaches these games from an online gaming standpoint.
Whenever. I was out of action for a while because my dog chewed through my TE stick wire (again). I just got it fixed up again a few days ago.Quote:

I mean, the system at first is confusing when going from one to the other but I picked the mechanics up in about a week. Maybe you're just not putting in enough time. All combos are pretty easy to do except for the super complex stuff but a lot of that is for show.Quote:

Going online as a noob and getting wrecked over and over helps no one, especially in a game like MvC3 where the noob basically gets locked in the corner and endlessly high-low'd and is dead in under thirty seconds.
Online is terrible anyway. You can use it to test a few things but the connection ALWAYS has lag. You'll have online-specific combos and that won't fly in person where you can alter it to maximize damage but have to completely change your timing. Anyway, I wasn't into any scene. I just went and learned slowly just like any new guy. I played MvC1 and was HORRIBLE until I found out people played it competitively around the time MvC2 came out.
If you keep blaming others being better rather than looking at what you did wrong to cost you that online match you'll never get better. Just sayin'. it all sounds to me like you just don't want to invest the time to get better. That's fine, but don't go saying shit that isn't true.
There's so many other things I'd rather invest time in than that game. Just sayin'.
And that's okay! But don't say it's because of a steep learning curve because it's pretty damn shallow and easy to get into.
