Now before this thread is immediately dismissed I would like to preface it by saying I read almost every noob article on this site 10 times already. My frustration is building because what I read or get told is the complete opposite of whats being done.
In one article (as well as being told by people in twitch chats) is that playing online doesn't help you get better. Now I understand the premise behind playing online but when I ask a streamer (who is normally very good) how often they play/train and they say "I only play MKX when I stream." Are they being sarcastic? I'm not sure but I have a couple on my PSN and it seems that is the case. I also understand that some of these guys/girls have consistent years of experience but I'm attempting to take a similar path of getting better at MKX and hopefully fighters in general but they are dismissing my curiosity in getting better by doing something I've learned (I took that TYM article as scripture) I shouldn't do.
I've subbed to some of these guys and sometimes I get a game with them but I never get told what I must work on. I take my very limited knowledge of the game and assume what I need to work on. Does the butt whooping help? Yeah but I can go online and get my butt whooped to see what I must work on.
Now, I'll stop my "venting" right there but I just wanted to attempt to paint a background of my state of being as I typed this up. I'm very humbly asking the TYM community what their personal training regiment is, thats it.
Here's a few of my questions that I hope are answered by this awesome community:
But if one of you guys/girls can help, it'd be much appreciated. And if someone wants the challenge of training me up, I'd appreciate that as well. I'd even give up Mileena and learn whatever character you use if the end game is me getting better at the game.
Thank you once again for taking the time to read this.

Here's a few of my questions that I hope are answered by this awesome community:
- How do you practice your moves? Do you drill one a session and go online to practice that move?
- Do you train vs a standing AI? Or Very Hard AI?
- When it comes to inputting combos, especially online, is it slow or deliberate or do you attempt to input them as quickly as possible?
- How do you deal with pressure? Do you wait for the combo to be dropped or is there a read to know when its safe to poke out?
- How do you punish? Do you start inputting it the moment the last hit lands? Or is there a way in which I can let off block a split second early and start punishing?
