Been meaning to make a diary but didn't feel like typing cause I'm lazy. Anywho, let's begin. In the beginning, there was me being bodied by everyone. Though I did do the tutorials I still really sucked. Then I got better at blocking but I still got rekt from not being able to inflict much damage. After looking around the forums and learning much about the game and it's mechanics I looked into a combo that would be easy enough for me to do. I started doing a lot better than before until I came upon a certain #FukuaTwerkTeam who tore my Filia apart and told me mine sucks in pretty much every way, saying my combo/Filia wasn't really menacing at all.
From there I learned a better midscreen bnb and a corner bnb, as well as improving my movement. A while later and another match with #FukuaTwerkTeam he told me I had improved some. Even still I wouldn't consider my Filia great by any means. Sure I can beat a lot of players but I can still get beaten easily by many players, especially those who really know how to play Filia. After talking to/playing against Skarmand and WhyIDie? a bit they told me that while I'm okay with her, I should really learn some resets. As WhyIDie? told me "Filias live and die by them". That and learning some burst baits as well as working on my cross/mix ups.
And that about brings anyone who reads this up to speed with where I'm at.
Currently I'm trying to learn some resets and trying to figure out how to work with them to keep up the pressure/damage. I already knew two which has helped a little. One being a j.hk right after hitting the ground and the other being c.mp into jump adc grab which I have a hard time timing correctly.
Another thing I realized a while ago and have been too lazy to work on until now are my IADs. I would always hit over twice for my air dashes. Really for me at least it's worked well enough for pretty much everything, except my IADs. I got into a bad habit of hitting j.hk when I would jump and then dash so I wouldn't go too high up in the air, and after a short while doing that can get pretty predictable. So now while I've been looking into resets I'm also practicing my IADs using two p's now since it does work much better.
