having strong fundamentals will carry over from character to character. This game is not very execution heavy... so it honestly shouldn't take long to really understand what you need to be doing. so yeah.....

A day one Smoke does not equal a year and change Mileena/Kabal/Jax etc even with fundamentals on lock down.

LOL the first real comment it forever. Yes i agree with this, you see it all the time with competitive players. They can random selcet in casuals and still know basic Bnb's, strats, mixups and frame data just from pure experience with the game.

but getting your strategy set and how to establish it with each character takes a lot of time.

It's not as hard as it used to be but it is still not easy. Tech is still being discovered and will continued to be. Getting used to a character and his/her intricacies will take time no matter who you are. Some are fast learners but in general you cant just go to the character select screen and say i feel like playing this guy and be good already.

not top level good no... but have good spacing and footsie will win you 90% of your matches. Some of the strategies are meant for longer sets....
I don't think you should break out a new character against randoms either. Use him against good players... you'll figure out real quick how to interact with the Character, or if you even mesh with it at all.

Kabal has been going well for me so far, day three and I'm starting to get the 2 NDCs down, only problem is Kabal is horrible online. I've been outzoned by Johnny Cage and Sub Zero multiple times because it is almost impossible to hit someone with an IAGB online :(

Jax is a bitch to play online. It's hard to maintain pressure up close with multiple GG cancels. And the corner reset? Forget about that. I'm still getting used to him so maybe it's just my execution atm.

eh, Kabal doesn't suck online. I think you just need to time your IAGBs earlier than you are b/c I didn't even have to duck to avoid them earlier today. I was surprised I won.

Baraka spin gives pushback, neutral on block, does decent damage, combos in the corner, good AA, good start-up....

not surprised you said this.

That's legit part of what sold me on him.
I love destructive spins, but I hate Kung Lao.

And as a Sub player, I'm already more of a "make you hate yourself with punishes and footsies at midscreen, make you die with my damage in the corner" guy, which is a niche Baraka fits into perfectly. All he's missing is a Clone.
Especially against Lao. I really like the fact that he can more or less hold his own against the Hat.

I've tried doing it earlier but most of the time I just get a jump punch because the lag is never consistent in any match. I'm lucky if I get a game where I'm actually able to use B1 NDCs and IAGBs.
