that's because DBFZ is fucking shit and an honorary party game

That's true, there's hardly anything you can learn if the faggot on the other side just completely reks you without giving you chance to play.
What I did was alternate between playing online, and practice combos until the whol thing was ingrained in my fingers/mind.
Thankfully you seem to have a full filing live so no need to autistically play fighting games.

I used Aris' method of explaining frames as stats on your moves. Two of my big RPG friends instantly grasped what the fuck frame data was after that. Unfortunately they still dont like playing against me since i body them free. I even try using chars i never use, but it takes maybe 3 or 4 games until i start to figure out some basic combos and punishes and i start obliterating them again.

Not even that when you play with shit delay the entire game changes.

Really? Admittedly I never where much of a senpai of the genre, but the animation is fluid the hit boxes are tight and the graphics are pretty neat. I really enjoyed it.

I've not played anything since SC6 which I dropped about a month after launch. I'm done with the genre. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

Let's add
>shit netcode across the board

play smash

Visually, yeah the game is stunning but from a gameplay perspective I can hardly even consider it a fighting game
What with the incredibly simple button layout, auto combos and everything that came with them, very low execution requirement, and constant touch of death
it just made for a very unenjoyable experience for me and I consider myself fairly well-versed in fighting games

My main friend that I was playing with knew of frame data but since he's a beginner with no context didnt know how to really parse good info from it, so I told him for now just to chunk things into like "plus," "minus" "unsafe" etc categories and pointed out a couple important details for his character. He started learning terms like oki and figuring out some mixups on his own, which was exciting bc it made me have to learn more about his character all the time too. I took the opposite approach and only ever played 2 characters against him, I feel when you're learning its important to have a fixed reference to train against if that makes sense, i would just pull punches and try to call out a specific bad habit of his each session

TOD games are fucking stupid

I heard the netcode for samsho is pretty bad. I thought about picking it up buy that pushed me away.

Ive entered smash tournaments and done fine, but it's not really a game i care to practice deeply or get actually good at. Fun enough casually tho

Yeah, it's about as bad as any other delay based game. Of course if you're playing a guy you know wired it's fine, but that's the best I can say about it sadly. Game itself is sick tho, my fave game out right now

That’s the thing. I have these good things, but I want to also have left over time for improving.

It's seems like the button layout and easy combos where to encourage you to use all three characters in conjunction as much as you could, and all "high level" combos Don use the autocombos (at least not exclusively)
The most used combo for example is the one that starts from neutral and sends the opponent up in the air with the kick, which you combo into the air into a super or a swtich, and none of those combos are automatic.

How to properly implement EX FADC? I got the FADC kinda down, but I need help with the EX version

>got challenged in 3S
>opponent chose Yang
>give up after 3 matches
a-at least he didn't perfect me

I can't even get my friends to play competitive games together. They don't have any interest in trying them, much less learning how to play well.

>tfw the only game my friends and I ever play is smash
>tfw they don’t want to play other fighting games

Are you asking about doing the 2 meter version where you cancel a move into focus attack, or like red focus? Also playing on pad or what?

If that's the case, most consistent thing I figured was to buffer the focus attack early and just hold the buttons, you'll get the focus attack at the earliest point and can input your dash. I was never great at sf4 but thats what I do at least for FADC

FADC was a retarded concept for a universal gameplay mechanic, and there's no reason to learn it because you'll never see it again outside of SF4 and Tekken 7's Akuma.
