My Training Diary To Achieve Excellence.

So, this'll be fun. I stumbled across this and I said eh, why not.

I have played some fighting games in the past, so I know the bare basics. There is a a lot of things I don't know about Skullgirls than I originally thought I did. I played Street Fighter, and the two in my opinion feel different in many ways.

I am currently working on three characters: Cerebella, Filia, and Peacock. I'm working on one at a time, and I switch to the others once I get a combo or two down perfectly (muscle memory would be key)

The only combo I have sort of gotten the hang of. but still have trouble with at times is a simple combo with Cerebella.
j.HK c.LK c.MP c.HP j.MK j.HK c.LK c.MP c.HP dp.LP+LK qcf.PP
My hardest time with this one actually being connecting the j.MK and j.HK. I'm working on it but it's still very very sloppy.

The thing that I'm worried about is how am I going to use these ever in combat, and how I'm going to start them out of nowhere. I can only do that combo in the corner, and once I perfect it there than I will work on midscreen.

I am working also on ADC and learning how to deal with mix-ups.

I will be keeping up with this thread every other day. Hope this goes well.

Day 2. I am going through the tutorial, and getting the hand of combos. I learned how to ADC, but it's still sloppy. I got through most of them and did the tutorial for Cerebella, Filia, Peacock, and Parasoul. I am trying to get the hang of infinity breakers and stages in a combo, and when the IPS activates. I have completed the tutorials for them, and gonna rerun through them a couple more times. Actually, if you guys have simple combos for Cerebella I would enjoy that. I can get the combo I do know working every single time, and starting to be muscle memory. I want to know how to play Ms.Fortune, but I'm gonna wait a little bit until I know more about double characters. Also, painwheel looks promising because she has a focus attack-esque move. I'm gonna stick with three for right now.

I'll be back tomorrow for another update!

Day 3!

I didn't get to that much today, but I went online for the first time to do a match. I got completely destroyed, but that's alright. Learn from your mistakes! I am learning how to adapt and blend in fundamentals with combos against hard difficutly bots and it's working pretty well so far. I actually found out a BnB combo with Cerebella just by screwing around. 11 hit combo! I feel proud of myself of the progress that I've had so far, and I can;t wait until I can play it again tomorrow!

I'll be back for another update tomorrow!

Day 4.

I didn't get much done today, but I did finish the tutorial, and finally got my first achievements. I went online today and got destroyed, but actually won some matches. My friend came over, and he now mains Parasoul, and he's freaking good at her. He's been playing her for 4 hours, and already got down a 80 hit combo. Makes me want to main her, but I want to keep the three I have now. I got another combo down with Cerebella! Well, I landed one, but that would probably be the only time I will in forever.

I'll be back tomorrow for another update! Be sure to keep in touch guys!

I completely forgot about this in general. I guess that's what life does to you lol. It's 2 and a half months later and I am thinking of going into my first tournament. I know I stand no chance but that's okay. I'm actually pretty decent online now. Of course I still lose matches but usually its rather one, they're way better than me (a lot of people cough cough) or two, I slip up somehow. Recently I was so stuck with mastering combos and resets that I completely forgot all neutral game and fundamentals, so I'm working on that now. I've tried out every character and know them atleast on a basic understanding (some BnB combos here and there, nothing too special). I dropped Cerebella and am probably gonna pick up Big Band. I'll be back in touch with this every now and again, but we will see.
