So, j want to get into fighting games, mainly the der street fighter games, and advice on how to get good.

I’m so bad at fighters I’ve only ever gotten halfway through a sf2 run and no idea what to do.

I main ken/ryu btw

Not even using akuma as a crutch helps lol (that or xmen vs street fighter ps1 akuma sucks)

So basically, how do I “get good”

    consider trying other games too. i’ve always been pretty bad at street fighter and mortal kombat, then i tried tekken and it clicked for me a lot better

      Yea, I have tekken 5 and 6 on ppsspp. They just didn’t click, can you recommend any characters?

        hmm, i feel like Law, Feng and Asuka are some good ones to learn with. also general advice, basic but keep your eyes on the other player, focus on reacting instead of preemptively doing moves

          K, I’ll try law out when I get home, does tekken have special moves and stuff?

            the different grabs are good to know. there’s charge attacks and stuff too, they’re a little less important in tekken though. most characters use a similar set for getting those first couple hits in, then string that into the special moves in combos. youtube vids help a lot

        I’d say try one of the older Tekkens, 2-3 or Tag Tournament. They feel a lot better and punchier to me.
