First off, let me just say that this game is very intimidating to get into if you are fairly new. Sure that could apply to almost any fighting game, but this one in particular, due to it being reset and combo heavy. The online pro to newbie ratio is just terrible for this game. Maybe for every 15 pro players you face online, you'll find 1 newbie. Maybe. I really don't know how dead or alive this game is, but I do know that majority (maybe 80-90%) of the guys online are just completely expert level. And before you say anything about "spend x hours in the training room" or "look at the beginner guides" (if this forum is even alive) I can say that I've done that and I'm still bad. Not as bad as when first started of course, but still bad. And I've got about 30 or so hours playing this game.
I know I can't get good overnight, but is this really what I have what I to deal with? Getting mauled online nearly every time? At least with games like Street Fighter or Tekken you can find player more your skill level, but apparently not with this game. I've got one friend who's at my skill level (possibly better) and that's about it. This is the kind of thing that turns people off this game. I follow possibly the only two streamers that stream this game on a daily basis and they do little to help. How about some advice? But wait, who would they give advice to, everyone's good at this game! How about you play some games with the new guys or give lessons to newbies, they're trying to keep this game alive right? But that might just be me nitpicking or whatever.
But hey, about that Skullgirls "newbie" night huh? Yep I entered newbie night 11 yesterday, and I can say with complete honesty that a pro player won the whole thing. I thought it for newer players, or am I not understanding that concept right? I guess noobs know how to do tricky reset and pull of 60+ hit combos right? I felt angry and disrespected at the same time. And of course the commentators did nothing to help the whole time. Didn't even give advice. How about next time the organizer changes the name to "intermediate" or possible "expert" night huh? Just like in the SG lobbies, having a title of "causal matches-beginner" does nothing to ward off non beginners. Ridiculous. What are you going to say now, the SG community doesn't need "a whiny brat" like me? All I'm doing is trying to make an effort to learn this game, but where have the new players gone? All that's left is people who destroy me online. Look, I like this game a lot, but I don't know man. It just might not be beginner friendly.
