I am not asking for a change or anything but man if you get into a fighting game late you just get destroyed no contest. I don't mind losing close games but it was guy pulling match ending combos on me. I will probably get SF 6 but on day 1 so I have a chance.

Yeah, it's not like CoD or Fortnite that you can just pick up and kill people. This is what will forever keep the genre niche.

What are you talking about? Rookie rank players just mash random buttons. Just block, punish and anti-air

Literally do not touch online in SF till you can beat the COM on Hardest. You need to practice scrub. This is like bitching about sucking ass after picking up Quake 3 and trying to jump in a lobby. People have been playing this series for about 40 years and you're just starting now.

How much single player content is there though?

oh you want to practice with someone not on the main roster? that'll be $105 + tip

capcom: heh, nothing personal moneylets

>Literally do not touch online in SF till you can beat the COM on Hardest

Nice lie

First step is to learn to lose. If getting "destroyed" bothers you this early, then I can't tell what's gonna happen down the line to you, as beatdowns will always happen, no matter how skilled you are. Keep in mind that there are several ways to learn how to beat a specific character, but only one to learn how to beat your human opponent, and that's playing against them enough to know their patterns.

Gotta practice, dude. Fighting games are all about the 3 Es.



Equipment

Experience

Execution



You probably don't have any of the 3. You need a good controller/arcade stick you're comfortable with, you need some experience to know what characters do and what to expect at different levels of play, and you're probably mashing almost everything because your execution and muscle memory has barely developed.



Gotta give it time, kiddo. But learning one fighting game will help you with the execution for all the rest of the games in the genre. Get over your fragile ego and practice!

The people at the lowest level of ranked are just as bad as you. You just need a basic strategy and understanding of the game's mechanics. Look up Brian F's why you are stuck in bronze video and ceelowd rookie to diamomd series for some tips. Casual is full of smurfs though so that should be avoided.
