normally i just learn as i play.
pro players really like to play on the defensive but i only go on offense so i dont think that watching them play would help me but you never know

I mostly use practice mode to try out combos and to find out and test what cool things you can do. I used to use Youtube videos for combos but now, i just train by myself without anyone's help.
Mostly Learn as I play, I go to practice mode to try out a character I’m interested to play, my nephew describes the way I play being technical.
I go to training mode and memorize at least 3 combos and 2 special moves of the character and start using him in low difficult arcade fights. Later on i come back to learn some more advanced stuff. In modern games i use the AI fight option during training for better results.
Nowadays i do watch vids/advices from pro players on YouTube rather than figuring myself out. There's a DoA pro player called MASTER who made many DoA4 tutorial vids that help you to get good and also works for other DoA games.
Ah, there's also a SoulCalibur IV guide done by SCPartisan from 8WayRun.com that's really helpful.
So I've been playing fighting games basically my whole life, to a new comer I recommend starting with learning general fighting game fundamentals.Quote:

1. Play around in training mode just messing around, learning how things work and finding a character that I enjoy.
2. Play online. Normally jumping straight into Ranked since that's just where I learn better, but Casual is also fine.
3. See how much I get destroyed and use that as a base.
4. Learn from YT and stuff about game specific fundamentals, how my character plays and combos for that character. (For example: If I want to learn a zoner, what are their strong zoning tools? What distance are they most effective? How do I get close range characters off of me?)
5. After practicing what I learned from "4" in training, it's back to ranked.
6. That's basically it. Now it's just about sharpening that and learning more through playing.
General fundamentals like Frame Data???Quote:

Virtua Fighter sounds like a more deeper alternative to that cheapass Tekken, Mortal Kombat's inputs and combos are simples and easier to get into. Tekken is indeed the most complex fighter ever.Quote:

- Offence & Defense
- Execution
- Mind Games
- Pressure
These are able to be carried over between games where as knowledge of a specific game's frame data isn't.

Same here dude i button mashed Tekken 5 on the PS2, some flash games and almost every single KoF in the arcades (even a Wing flash game!!!) as a kid one of the proofs why fighters were too hard for me since childhood until i discovered some inputs from the straightfoward to the hardest ones as a casual player.Quote:

mine is melty blood actress again current code
I nowadays read the mechanics on my PC, also the movelists.
