You've just picked up the latest 2D fighting game and you're excited because... [[this is your first attempt to learn how to play fighting games.->First Match]] [[you used to play the old games growing up but want to be a serious competitor.->First Match1]] [[you used to play the the old games endlessly with your siblings and are hoping to get a taste of that competition.->First Match1]]

You hop in to training mode and learn a few attacks presented in the tutorial. You take a look at all the special moves like the <a href="https://redd.it/44t4fq" target="_blank"> fireball</a>, the <a href="https://redd.it/44xtr3" target="_blank"> dragon punch</a>, and even take the time to learn some <a href="https://redd.it/6aller" target="_blank"> charge moves</a>. Now it's time to put that skill to the test and play a real opponent. [[Time to hop into a real match.->Found your opponent]]

Start of the first round, what do you do? [[The combo's you practiced all started with a jump in attack so you choose to jump at your opponent.->Set1 Round1 Jump In]] [[You remember how to throw a fireball so you immediately throw your fastest projectile.->Set1 Round1 Fireball]] [[You wait and see what your opponent will do.->Set1 Round1 Wait]]

You've been matched up against a player of a slightly higher rank. You're a little bit nervous but you think you can win. They picked the same character as you so you think you know what to expect. Let's do this! [[Round 1... FIGHT!->Round 1 Start]]

Your opponent was ready for your jump in attack and was able to hit you with an anti-air. You take some damage and are knocked down. There must be a better way to incorporate <a href="https://redd.it/4pafhe" target="_blank"> jumping</a> attacks. Your opponent dashes forward and is right next to you as you get up off the floor. What do you do? You don't have enough meter for an invincible reversal. [[You wake up with your fastest attack to challenge their approach.->Set1 Round1 Wakeup1 Counterhit]] [[You worry they might have the advantage so you block.->Set1 Round1 Wakeup1 Block]]

You throw a fireball but your opponent Jumped! You can't recover in time and your opponent lands a full combo. You take some damage and are knocked down. Your opponent dashes forward and is right next to you as you get up off the floor. What do you do? You don't have enough meter for an invincible reversal. [[You wake up with your fastest attack to challenge their approach.->Set1 Round1 Wakeup1 Counterhit]] [[You worry they might have the advantage so you block.->Set1 Round1 Wakeup1 Block]] (set: $fbtest to 1)

Your opponent chose to attack you on your wake up. Their attack was timed perfectly to hit you right as you were getting off the ground *(This is called a <a href="https://redd.it/5lmka7" target="_blank"> meaty attack</a>). Without an invincible escape option there was nothing you could have done to avoid this attack.* *<a href="https://redd.it/4bw8ke" target="_blank"> Blocking</a> on your next wake up will help you avoid taking a big counter hit combo.* [[You've been knocked down but this time you have meter.->Set1 Round1 Wakeup2]]

Your opponent chose to throw you on your wake up. You remember that there are ways to avoid being thrown. You could tech the throw or perform any type of movement which causes your character to be airborne or throw invulnerable. [[You've been knocked down but this time you have meter.->Set1 Round1 Wakeup2]]

You know you chose the right anti-air attack but your timing was slightly off. You know you pressed the right button but were too slow. <strike>"LAG!! I know I pressed the right button but screw this game punishing me for no reason!"</strike> At the next opportunity you will change the timing to properly anti-air. Your opponent dashes forward and is right next to you as you get up off the floor. What do you do? You don't have enough meter for an invincible reversal.

You lost the first round and it feels like you hardly got to play. However, try to use what you learned in round 1 to help you in the second round. [[Round 2... FIGHT!!->Set1 Round2 Start]]

You pump fake a fireball by crouching then whiffing a standing jab. In reaction to your pump fake, your opponent jumps! [[You can now try to anti-air them->Set1 Round2 Wait]] (set: $fbtest to 1)

YOUR OPPONENT JUMPS!! You try to remember what your anti-air attacks are but your opponent is fast approaching. What do you do?

YOUR OPPONENT JUMPS AND YOU SUCCESSFULLY ANTI-AIR! You deal some damage and knock down your opponent. But this is the first time you've knocked down your opponent and you are not sure how to proceed. The moment of opportunity passes and your opponent is able to get to their feet. You and your opponent are close enough to strike with long range, slow normals. What do you do? [[Attack with your long range slow normal->Set1 Round2 Neutral Whiff]] [[Wait to see what your opponent will do.->Set1 Round2 Neutral Wait]] [[Walk backward because you are in range to be attacked.->Set1 Round2 Neutral Close]]

Your opponent chose to attack you on your wake up. Their attack was timed perfectly to hit you right as you were getting off the ground (This is called a <a href="https://redd.it/5lmka7" target="_blank"> meaty attack</a>). There must be a way to practice <a href="https://redd.it/4dlhg5" target="_blank"> blocking common setups.</a> You take damage and are knocked down. [[But this time you were not knocked down entirely.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

You successfully block the oncoming attack. However, after blocking an unfamiliar string of attacks you are <a href="https://redd.it/4pafhe" target="_blank"> unsure if it's safe to move or attack</a>. What will you do? [[Continue Blocking.->Set1 Round2 Blockstring1]] [[Move.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]] [[Attack with your fastest attack.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

IT WORKS!! You deal some damage and knock down your opponent. But this is the first time you've knocked down your opponent and you are not sure how to proceed. The moment of opportunity passes and your opponent is able to get to their feet. You and your opponent are close enough to strike with long range, slow normals. What do you do? [[Attack with your long range slow normal->Set1 Round2 Neutral Whiff]] [[Wait to see what your opponent will do.->Set1 Round2 Neutral Wait]] [[Walk backward because you are in range to be attacked.->Set1 Round2 Neutral Close]]

YOU TECH THE THROW!! *However, it felt like trying to tech the throw versus simply blocking was 50/50 guess. There must be a safer <a href="https://redd.it/4ckizn" target="_blank"> defensive option</a>. You make a mental note to look into defensive options after the match.* You and your opponent are close enough to strike with long range, slow normals. What do you do? [[Attack with your long range slow normal->Set1 Round2 Neutral Whiff]] [[Wait to see what your opponent will do.->Set1 Round2 Neutral Wait]] [[Walk backward because you are in range to be attacked.->Set1 Round2 Neutral Close]]

Your opponent takes advantage of your defensiveness and continues to attack. Again you are forced into an unfamiliar block string. What will you do? <strike>Continue Blocking.</strike> [[Move.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]] [[Attack with your fastest attack.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

Your opponent hits you with a combo you've never seen before. Instead of causing a knockdown your opponent juggles you in the air. Your opponent is going to hit you with a <a href="https://redd.it/5lmka7" target="_blank"> meaty attack</a> right when you land but you are unsure of which direction to block. Which way do you block the mixup? [[Left->Set1 Round2 Mixup1]] [[Right->Set1 Round2 Mixup1]]

In a panic, you are hit by your opponent's mixup. Perhaps if you see this reset again you will have a better idea how to block it and keep a <a href="https://redd.it/4j8bpq" target="_blank"> level head.</a> This mixup causes a stun and your opponent closes out the round with a full combo. [[You Lose->Set1 You Lose]]

You lost... But it didn't feel like you even got to play. [[Maybe I'll get a chance to really kick some ass if I hop right back into a match->NoLessonsLearned]] But... [[What did I learn->LessonsLearned]]

Your opponent walked backward slightly, expecting you to press your farthest reaching attack. This caused your attack to whiff. During the recovery of your slow attack, your opponent hits you with a <a href="https://redd.it/48m2t7" target="_blank"> whiff punish</a>. [[The whiff punish leads to a combo you've never seen before.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

While you hesitate, your opponent jumps forward. What will you do? [[Block->Set1 Round2 BlockCrossup]] [[Anti-Air->Set1 Round2 AACrossup]]

Oh No! Your opponent is now walking forward. Because your back walk speed is slower than your opponent's forward walk speed you are now very close to your opponent. What will you do? [[Press an attack button.->Set1 Round2 NeutralKD]] [[Crouch Block.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup1 Block]]

You attempted to block, but your opponent hit you with a <a href="https://redd.it/5lmdi8" target="_blank"> cross up attack</a>. You've never been hit with one of those before and you were blocking the wrong way. [[Your opponent hits you with a combo you've never seen before.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

You attempted to anti-air, but your opponent hit you with a <a href="https://redd.it/5lmdi8" target="_blank"> cross up attack</a>. You've never been hit with one of those before and your go to anti-air doesn't work against cross up attacks. [[Your opponent hits you with a combo you've never seen before.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

You pressed the last button in your head... which happened to be your slowest attack. Your opponent stuffed your attack with a quick jab. Right now you don't have a <a href="https://redd.it/4hznrk" target="_blank"> neutral gameplan</a> so you didn't know which button to press. [[Your opponent hits you with a combo you've never seen before.->Set1 Round2 Wakeup2]]

Back to the drawing board. You clearly are missing something from the equation but there doesn't seem to be any good resources within the game. You have some fun playing a few more matches but have the thought in the back of your head that something is missing. Before you shut it down for the evening you <a href="https://redd.it/4o9cju" target="_blank"> review some matches</a> and <a href="https://redd.it/4i4w71" target="_blank"> stretch your arms</a> before going to bed. [[Continue->LessonsLearned2]]

You spend all night going right back in to matches. You have some fun playing and even take a few rounds but you're unable to win a single set. Frustration builds as you continue to make the same mistakes... but what mistakes are you even making? [[Continue->NoLessonsLearned2]]

You go to bed frustrated and continue to lose matches throughout the week. But then a month passes and you notice a change. You can win some matches and don't lose immediately. By virtue of simply coming back every day and practicing you have gotten better. Time has fixed some execution issues and you seem to know your character's options. [[Let's rock!->RealMatch]]

Time passes and you continue to practice. You've asked more experienced players how they manage to beat you and you think you have a good understanding of the process on how to improve. [[Time to hop back into a real match.->RealMatch]]

Wait a minute... You remember this name. It's the first person you ever played! They bodied you, straight dunked you, no mercy. If they treat you like the same scrub from last month they have another thing coming... [[Round 1... Fight!->RMR1]]

Start of the first round, what will you do? [[The combo's you practiced all started with a jump in attack so you choose to jump at your opponent.->RMR1 Jump]] [[You remember how to throw a fireball so you immediately throw your fastest projectile.->RMR1 Fireball]] (if: (history:) contains "Set1 Round1 Fireball" or "Set1 Round2 Fireball" or "RMR1 Fireball" or "RMR2 Fireball" or "RMR3 Fireball")[[[*Pump fake a fireball motion to get your opponent to react.*->RMR1 Fireball2]]] [[You wait and see what your opponent will do.->RMR1 Wait]] (if: (history:) contains "Set1 Round1 Wait" or "Set1 Round2 Wait" or "RMR1 Wait" or "RMR2 Wait" or "RMR3 Wait")[[[*Wait and anticipate a jump in attack.*->RMR1 Wait2]]] (if: (history:) contains "Set1 Round2 NeutralKD" or "RMR1 Walk" or "RMR2 Walk" or "RMR1 Walk" or "RMR1 NeutralFail" or "RMR2 NeutralFail" or "RMR3 NeutralFail" or "RMR1 Jump" or "RMR2 Jump" or "RMR3 Jump" or "RMR1 Fireball2" or "RMR2 Fireball2" or "RMR3 Fireball2")[[[*Walk forward into a range where your normal attacks are most effective.*->RMR1 Walk]]] (set: $p1 to 4) (set: $p2 to 4) (set: $v1 to 0) (set: $v2 to 0) (set: $frametrap to 0) (set: $tickthrow to 0) (set: $meaty to 0) (set: $shimmy to 0) (set: $goodfb to 0)

You wait momentarily in the neutral, whiffing a few fast normals, maintaining jump in distance in anticipation of a jump in attack. [[When Finally...->RMR1 AASuccess]]

Your opponent cleanly anti-air's your jump in attack and juggles you for moderate damage. *Perhaps you should try a safer approach from the ground.* (if: $p1 != 0)[[[Continue->RMR1 WU Options]]](else:)[[[Continue->RMR1 Lose]]] (set: $p1 to $p1 - 1)
