Practicing. Getting my ass kicked by player better than me.

The whooping that GGA gave me in august really leveled me up.

Ayy Lmao
I play every MU the same, which is why I'm so free. Don't rush down JC they say? Pshh, I'll rush him and down with Stryker. And I end up getting destroyed.

Mostly online but against good players like the people here at TYM. I usually host a TYM room or join one of the streams that are up. I got better at anti-airing playing against noobs who jump a lot so I guess that helped. I learned a lot offline too with the STL crew. Hopefully I can play with them again soon. :)

I was one of those Noobs :cool:
 
I recreated the game in my head by memorizing the frame data of all the moves, and now i know how to punish everything and can wiff punish and react to anything based on 1 start up frame.

I don't think there is anybody in the community who has never played mk online besides maybe chris g? interesting to see how people learned etc. most the answers will be online.
I don't play online.. I tried it a few times but I'd do so horrible with Sektor I'd switch to a character that wasn't so kombo dependant like Jax.. Needless to say, that doesn't help me out with match ups. I never learned a match up through online and I'm sure there's more people than just me that kan honestly say that.

Luckily I have Krayzie and Wonder_Chef to practice with who know the whole kast and the rest of EGP whenever we meet up.

If you ever find yourself in Chicago, you have to stop by - you'd love the place. And you're right, we're all pretty cool except Wafflez - gotta watch out for that guy.
lol wafflez and them resets. its crazy but me and my bro are from the southside of chicago. Are parents lived there for most their lives. Me and my bro only lived there for like a few years then we moved to vegas. We lived in vegas most our lives. just born and chicago. Only thing I prolly wouldn't like about chicago is how cold it gets aha like subzero aha

O i thought you said you were on xbox earlier in thethread. O well. Hopefully sometime HGTV can play you guys when we get to go to some more tournaments, its hard when you are in high school haha.

interesting which offline kabal did you play?
Streetsweep, SquirtMcGirt, and for the short time that he was over, Michaelangelo.

Realistically though, the only way I learn matchups now is online, which really makes me salty when I go an for anti-air jab only to get full comboed.

Everything is online. I have an offline scene but we really just get together to play tournaments not grind out any matchups...

  • online helps to a certain extent. If you're playing a high level player online, it's definitely helpful.


  • I play arcade ladder on the Vita a lot to kill time, but the one beneficial thing about it is that the AI will complete strings, so you can sort of see all of the tools each character has (no matter how crappy they are, lol).


  • Learning how to play the characters I'm free to. I used to have a lot of trouble with Stryker, so I picked him up for a few days just to see what his shenanigans were all about.
