Get smacked -> git gud -> get smacked harder -> break your controller -> acceptance
It's SG tho, and I don't like using assists. It's seems kind of unfair to me.
Is is too early for realgaf? What time is is in prison?
It's a fighting game, use what you've got to win.

There are no unblockable in SGs. When a move hits both high and low at the same time and you blocked, It will let you block them. Just git gud and maybe use the pushback block.

SG is a very tough game to git gud at since you can be hit into full health bar combos, especially when you're fighting someone with less assists than you. I found that you can be a lot more mobile in SG than other fight games, so back stepping helps a lot and so does being aggressive in the air. SG is a much different beast than normal fighting games.

That's scrub speak. You play to win the game.
I just got done reading a similar thread in ultra combo forums. I guess it depends if you're playing for fun or to win in the end. That's what I got out of it.
There are no unblockables in skullgirls because of the way blocking works in that game. If you blocked the overhead first then you would automatically block as well. You can use push block as a way to block a mix up because you are put into a blocking state and would automatically block anything after push blocking. But push blocking an assist is not the same thing as push blocking the active character. Push blocking an assist usually leads to more blockstun and gives your opponent more time to do more mix-ups. Skullgirls helped me with blocking, you can ask guardian how long I'm able to block his mix ups now, you feel like a badass after blocking so many mix-ups.
These are tools that you both you and your opponent have. How could it possibly be unfair?
Yep, there's autoguarding with pushblocks, so a well timed pushblock can eliminate part of the reaction game required to properly defend an assault. This is the same for Marvel. These little things are tools that give you more defensive options than in a game without offensive assists. And Shack's probably able to block my groundstrings longer than anyone else in the thread.
Marvel 3 has "unblockables", and while some people might consider them unfair, I love them. They usually require a set-up or a team based around this trap. If you're not using tools available to you, then you're not playing the same game as your opponent.
Skullgirls is a lot like Marvel 2. MikeZ essentially modeled a lot of things after the game. Full health combos in SG really aren't all that common unless you're in a lopsided ratio match. You're usually looking at a reset somewhere because the infinite prevention system was designed to limit this. Even if there is a full health combo, that's one of your characters, not your entire team.

Hey does anyone have a MH4 demo code they could spare?
My friend really wants to play with me on it.

Because Obie doesn't know shit about how to use his assists
Well, that's another thing. Proper assist usage is a skill. If you don't use your assists right, you'll get happy birthday'd and lose two characters. It's not something that people naturally think about in fighting games, so it takes some getting used to.
Grand. About to bang my head at the wall that is Remake once more today
Fine, how are you today?

Writing a speech I have to give in an hour and a half. Fun fun fun.
Got bored and decided to visit my old high school while I'm still home from college. Reconfirmed that I was a cool guy back in the day, and also that fuck high school, it's the worst.
Doing good. Listening to the latest JV Club podcast since it's both Korra and Asami talking to each other
You can do it, disturbing avatar man
Fuck. Speeches.
I just finished my first speed run, was over 3 hours by a minute and 30 seconds....feels bad man.

Just finished making it. It's just an introduction speech, day you were born and events that happened.
I share my birthday with THE ROCK JOHNSON. Also Berlin fell.
Did you rotate your saves? You could go back and shave a bit.
Little bit of column A, little bit of column 2. Didn't really have so much of a bad time in high school as it seems largely useless looking back. Especially senior year. All it was was waiting for college.

I really wish I could git gud at SF4's combo system, but I'm just so shit at putting strings together.
I tried to do combos for Ryu in training and I cant do them. It blows.
I can mash out Special moves and EX and Ultra moves, but putting together a coherent combo is frustrating for me.

Good luck with your butt!
That's true for most people, and I've found that (as a newbie) SF4 is one of the most punishing in terms of timing and execution.

You might want to try a fighting game with more input leniency.
SF4 is designed so that if you try to mash, you can't get real combos with links. It actually won't let you link or cancel attacks if you chain LPs or LKs together rather than link them at the start. It's less about remembering how things string together, it's more about timing and execution.
It's alright. I wouldn't have either. Try loading up your last one and see if you can't save some time?

I have a better time with MvC games and Smash, but I'd also like to be able to play competently in one of the biggest fighting game franchises in the world.
How would I improve my timing? Training doesn't seem to help me in that regard.

Probably not at full price/on release, but yes. I'd like to get a... Ahem... Grip... on DOA5 for the first time.
I have Last Round pre-ordered on PC. I haven't decided if I'm getting it for PS4 yet.
Look for snack machine on campus! Mine has some but I don't know if yours does.

Have you tried KoF XIII? Try KoF XIII
P4 Arena was my first non smash fighting game. And I only know how to play Kanji more or less.So I don't have much experience.
Ps. Yeah! I just won my first Online Match!

Oh doing combos in that game? Hahahaha. I had some fun scrub matches though.
FINAL STRIKE
Okay, now beat me and Guardian with your new found skill.
From what I've seen it seems to be cheaper than most games on release, probably due to it being a re-release/collection? I've never played a DOA game either but it looks like fun
Nice, I'm getting it on PS4 because my PC won't handle it
It was a speed run and I was confident I got the mansion down, however I made a mistake where I forgot about the puzzle box on my way to the labs and it fucked me over. I tried to go back and do it over but I only shaved off a few seconds .
I dont mind, Im going to go through with a speedrun guide this time and use chris with the knife only to finish it off.
