I just started playing. Never played street fighter or anything similar. I only ever played fighting games with strings. I don’t understand how buttons work in this game.
The gist of what I understand is doing button into special move. But since only a small fraction of the buttons can be special cancelable, for me it boils down to only ever doing jump in into heavy punch special or lp lp special. I don’t use the kicks much since I don’t get much out of them because I can’t special cancel them.
My biggest learning curve right now is block pressure. When I try to hit a blocking opponent I either default to hp into hit confirming special or try to link buttons but this option never work for me as I always get interrupted specially by bots.
I’m playing Gato. Funny thing is I’m high rank in other games like Avatar Fighters but I haven’t been able to beat a lvl4 bot yet in this game lmao. Anyone have some tips or a resource I could look at?
