wheres the best place to watch "great players" for specific characters? theres way too many videos on youtube already to search through, anyone know where to look?
I don't know your schedule, nor intent on how high you want your level of play to be...
That said, my suggestion is to watch every video for your character that you can find. The game is still in its infancy and watching as much footage of the game and your toon will help you not only know your character, but the engine as well.
IF a player is "terrible," you make note of what NOT to do. If you watch players who are high-level, you make note of what they do, when they do it, and try to learn why they do it. Emulating a great player is fine, but you must know the reasons for their every move. There will be some errors, as nerves play a major part in tournament play, but in order to excel in FGs you have to know EVERYTHING about your character.
Maximilian (on YT as Miles923) recently put up an exemplary video on Getting good at fighting games. I suggest you watch that first.
Otherwise, searching and sifting through vids is part and parcel with learning FGs. You can watch major tournaments and take note of who are great players, but they may not be playing your toon. (what pun?)
Truly, be thankful there ARE videos to watch. Us OGs who have played since World Warrior didn't have vids. We had to be at the arcade all the time to improve and watch others who had more skill.
Just my suggestions, take em, leave em, no worries. You have to ask yourself what level of play you are aspiring to, and go from there.
Seek knowledge, not convenience.
