    Valentine partners

    While this is here I might as well ask, how well (or absolutely fucking terrible) would a Val/Pain duo work?

    Tips on not getting discouraged?

    Problem is you're supposed to get the feeling of fun from the fight itself, if your overall feeling comes from the outcome then you're gonna have a hard time enjoying the game as losing will inevitably happen a lot. I don't really care about if I win or lose, the only time I don't have fun is if...

    Steam Groups for Beginners?

    I know of one group called "quit lollygaggin'!" that seems pretty chill, about 700 members so you won't feel like you're suddenly the center of attention because you're the new guy.

    How do I learn the timing?

    One thing I should add that messed me up at first, watch the characters. It's easy to try to watch the combo counter or controller when trying to learn timing but the animations are way more important. Handy thing to keep in the back of your mind if you're anything like me and tend to watch...

    How do I learn the timing?

    Keep repeating them over and over while observing very closely, eventually you'll get more and more used to it until the point where you barely even remember the actual timing because it's pretty much become second nature. Let me tell you there was some timing I thought I'd never get down.

    Beginner Questions Thread

    It's not really getting into a flight cancel that's the hard part, I've generally gotten that down pretty decently (if I remember to do it, 3 straight hours in training doing pretty much the same thing can make you a little braindead), it's the follow-up that's giving me hell... Though only for...

    Beginner Questions Thread

    I'm not sure whether this should go in a combo thread but it seems like a fairly noobish question so I'll try my luck here. Having a bit of trouble getting the timing right on a certain PW move, basically lk buer > xx fly > 3j.lp > c.lk, I can't seem to get the timing right, I manage to combo...

    How do I invent combos?

    Step 1. Get drunk (this step is required for essentially everything in both this game and life itself) Step 2. Rub cosmoline on your nipples Step 3. Load up Skullgirls Step 4. Go into train room Step 5. Start pressing things and see what combos into itself Step 6. Begin writing down each step of...

    Beginner Questions Thread

    We all start out randomly pressing buttons and hoping something happens, I feel no shame in admitting that's how I got through every character's story mode.

    Beginner Questions Thread

    Well shit... Alright, I have an idea that's sure to work... However getting drunk and pressing random things until something happens hasn't always worked flawlessly before. Maybe rubbing cosmoline on my nipples would be the better approach.

    Beginner Questions Thread

    Thanks for all the advice guys. One more quick question, I get that when it comes to combos you want as much damage as you can possibly get out of it, but what's kind of the minimum baseline you want to strive for to know your at least on the right track? I managed to throw together a 4605...

    Alright, so one bnb combo and variation for throws to learn match ups > optimize for more damage once you figure you know enough to not just spend a 15 second round randomly pressing random buttons and hoping the other guy stops ripping you more assholes than a Chernobyl born man > Learn resets...

    Beginner Questions Thread

    Alright, completely new player here so sorry if this is the stupidest question you've ever seen in your life, but about how many combos should you know for a character? (probably depends on the player I guess but just as a general starting point). Also, Painwheel+Big Band duo, viable or pic...
