Preach that shit bro! I used to make excuses like "I'm not good enough at improvising and combos to play FGs" or "Inputs kinda mess with my head" but once I actually got into my FG I realized there's no real way of solving these (imaginary) problems without playing!

I think my only and biggest complaint with fighting games is that I can’t seem to find a good consistent way to find people to play with.

rollback changes that. you may not like strive specifically but hopefully other games down the road will have it. ive been playing guilty gear +r to prepare for strive, the way you find people in that game is you join the +r discord, and you assign yourself a region. then you make a room, copy the invite link (you'll see the command for it ingame), and paste it into the discord server followed by @newbie. for me someone newer to the game always comes through, it is consistent. but when strive comes out my relationship with +r is over

I'm not gonna lie, I played fighting games casually all my life like MK(1-3), SF2, Altered Beast, Melee, etc and sucked at them but was good enough to beat the games' story modes, beat some friends. When I got DBFZ that was the first time I really dedicated myself to learning a game with content like Dustloop, LK's channel and others like him. Honestly, making the commitment to a widespread game that is easy to pick up is a great first choice.

Started playing fighting games recently and about to go to my first local as an Ultra Bronze player in SFV. Just fucking go for it, worst case scenario you lose.

Your videos are really helpful! I just picked up Fighterz because I love DBZ, and I've never played a fighting game before. I'm getting destroyed every day in ranked, but I'm slowly getting better!

Recently signed up for my first local tourney so the timing of this vid is insane thanks LK keep up the good work💪🏾

Holy shit robo-moe, seeing that name gave me whiplash to the past.

Damn, you made me go back and watch my first local tourney footage from three years ago compared to now. Honestly feels good to see the large difference over time.

This was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing the humble beginnings.

Absolutely inspirational, LK.

When you said 2006 I was expecting some chairs and a tube but holy crap the WWE setup LK you’re the best 😂

What's funny is that when I started playing/getting into FighterZ when it came over time I slowly started playing more and more different fighting games and even when smash brought Terry I even started trying "footise" styled games like street fighter and KoF ect than just anime fighting games. But honestly I'm glad I did recently I'm just play almost every single fight game (maybe and exaggeration) but I if see or here about and look it up a FG or see a character and I'm like "I want to play this game cus of I like this character for x reason" might be "shallow" but in all honesty I like playing FGs often time for the characters. and while I'm playing a lot of them but focusing ones I want to get better (sometimes that being a lot of them lol )and other to play for fun in the but end weather I'm good or not I like playing Fighting games cus their fun often times sometimes with set with your friends and getting better along the way for tournaments and watching people like you LK often times I feel better listen to guides or video like these of Fighting game content creators on YT.

I was barely in 1st grade during the first Melty match you showed😭😭😭

I was planning to start going to locals in my country last year but covid hit us hard. Then thinking about just going to evo around this time with the boyz and all even if my performance isnt great in lesser tourneys and we're still locked down by now. Despite all that I just signed up for my very first evo in a way I would've never imagined to play out lul. btw new melty 2021 lets go man

The memories from small tournaments are so good

The thumbmail is godlike

Bubble crab theme nice.

Yo, Philly!!! Represent!

Tournaments can't function without players who go 0-2.. just enter!

I dropped like 80% of all combos I tried at my first weekly back in 1.5 years. Looking to drop 60% next time.

My first fg was SF2 back in the snes days. Always wanted to stick to one, or rather even get decent at but i always tend to drop them after a short while. Im trying again with strive, since my wive bought it for me and again wanting to get into a fg but im having a hard time not dropping it alltogether. There also arent any local communities here nor are there any friends to play with. Since i play other genres aswell, with fgs it feels like i need to focus on fgs only to even get a grasp of basics not even talking about "advanced" stuff.

These questions are asked waaaaaay too often. Apparently even with the beginner friendly games that exist now it’s waaaaay too much to ask people to get involved into fighting games.

Maybe it's because I'm more into platformers, metroidvanias and JRPGs but I have a hard time entering the mindset of just playing a fighting game. I can do it for a while in SP modes (even then the CPU kicks my ass sometimes on Normal) with something like MK or Soul Calibur but multiplayer is always a big problem for me. I lack the proper reaction time to respond to some stuff. Probably it's also that I'm the only one with a slightly higher interest in the genre in my circle of friends. I remember the only time I was invited by them to play a mini-tourney of Tekken 7. I won, but we never did it again after. Am i cursed LOL ?

So I know this comment is pretty old at this point, but I wanted to say I was the same way when I started to show interest in fighting games. The way I got a bit better online is eventually I found out the best way to start is to go into online fights with nothing more than knowledge on when to hit heavy buttons and trying to never get hit/defense. Those two things can easily win out against a bunch of low gsp sweats trying to do 18 hit combos when they haven't even learned how to block. Slow and steady can get you to the real starting line much better, and I hope you one day get into multiplayer fighting games!

@@MetalandMGS That's the main problem, I'm not steady at all with the genre. I may play it for a week (not even every single day) or two but then I go back to other genres I'm more into like the 3 I mentioned. Any kind of knowledge I have probably gained in those weeks is probably gone off my mind now since I need to remember stuff from work and how to handle the machines. Also the whole "keep on playing even if you lose" doesn't help because after a whole day of me being the punching bag for 90% of the matches I've done doesn't give me the motivation for continuing. Even with more accessible games like Strive it's a strive for me to understand and have fun with them (I really don't get some of Guilty Gear's basic mechanics like Roman Cancel of the super meter that goes back to zero at the start of a round). I may find a character in a game that clicks with me somehow like Akatsuki or Miyako but there's still the general problem of the genre for me in general. I do find curious that the most fun I had with those games besides the SP content is with games developed by French Bread tho.

Another problem is that FGC here in Italy is limited to the big ones like Tekken or MK, we don't even have locals for them TBH, there's only stuff like nationals (even for other genres the online gaming scene is still rare than other places in the world). So, lack of time on my hand, lack of effort and willing to remember stuff from the games, lack of places to play locally, being the only one in my IRL friend compay that has a bit of interest on the genre. A lot of stuff that makes me drop every FG I try.

@@Realmidboss Well thats all an unfortunate circumstance of events, though to be fair where I live in the US has no locals for anything at all, period, other than Smash tournaments so I can kind of understand. But, if you just don't have the desire to put in the initial work to understand the genre then yeah, it'll be like that for as long as you may continue to dip your toes. What it took for me personally for it to finally click was a few attempts into playing USF4 when it was still new, playing randos online until I just felt comfortable and got wins every few games or so. Fighting games have the biggest barrier to online entry out of any genre just because the online killers are real in any game, and the fact most other online games have a team to help pick up any slack you might be dropping since you're new. In fighting games, it's JUST you vs someone else. If you lived closer id say id play some rounds with you but rollback dont work that far, lol. Sajam said it best one time, some people just like to hop online and hit buttons once a month, so if thats the only way you can or want to experience fighting games, theres nothing wrong with that! I just hope it clicks one day for you, and you can find someone to play with thatll have a decent connection

A hotel where people take shits in the stairway is probably the most Philly thing tbh

Damn bro kinda off topic but i thought you were much younger like 25

Its funny, I hadn't had shakes for a very long time right? Then I went to my first ever major ect 2019 for bbtag and samsho.. dawg I was breezing feeling good. I hit top 8 for bbtag then had to play on STAGE... I could not even fucking control my hands anymore I was so nervous LMFAO. Corona stopped my come up but im ready to get into it when everything happens again. No more only attending locals. I wanna play with the big boys now. Hitting a top 8 at a major really ignited a fire in me.

In fighting games you are never ready until you figure out your character your opponents character and their mindset and little tricks they have. The only thing you can do is play. Just playing with your opponent in the room is a over bearing experience you have to learn to get over.

From someone who's been playing fighting games for 25 years...best tip just hop in and get your ass beat for about 3 days...1 other thing don't think special moves are everything the regular punches and kicks will carry you a long way. It's like boxing you can't just throw haymakers you got to build momentum and hit small into big moves. And don't focus on combos good basics will partly make up for it

If you want to be strong,do it! Do it morning,day and night! Do it before and after meals! Do it until you tire! Do it until you can't any longer! Just do it until there's nothing left!
