How much time you guys put effort in practice?

[Karma]

List the characters if you wish!

 

[Daemantalo]

Everytime I log onto MKXL, I'm starting in the lab for a warm-up, getting more used to my buttons or I'll practice an alt character. I'd say I spend as much time in the practice mode as I do in online.

Man we talking about practice? Not the game. We talking about practice, not the game that I go out and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game. We talking about practice, man, how silly is that?

2 hours if practicing anything
3 hours if learning matchups

 

[Matix218]

Usually every time i play i end up warming up in practice mode, then playing some matches, then labbing something that the matches made me think to lab.

 

[CrazyFingers]

Every. Damn. Day.

 

[DC4-3]

Hellfire took me an embarrassing amount of time to learn. I will never lab/practice a character that much again.

 

[Tomek]

Do you have any interesting lab routines (for practicing punishing especially)?

 

[Snake Sound 222]

Every time I open the game.

 

[MKB]

Wrong forum. moving thread.

 

[WATCHD0G]

I pretty much go there all the time...cus I know i can't lose

Do you have any interesting lab routines (for practicing punishing especially)?

Basically:
1. Understanding of basic/non-special moves [10min]
2. Special move proficiency and consistency [10min]
3. Spacial relationship of your chosen character [30min]
4. Bread and Butter combos and consistent execution of them in practice scenarios [30min]
5. Learning when/where to use what combos in real gameplay [10min]
6. Baits and avoiding them [matchup dependent]
7. Work on zoning, counter pokes and footsies [20min]
8. Work on frame traps with your character [10min]
9. Free styling [10min]

2:10 hours of training without matchup training.

I put more time and effort into practice than you put into your title

I just try at it, look for visual/audio queues as to when i can punish. Also, your profile pic is fucking terrifying.

 

[FOREVER EL1TE]

Practice hours>Game time
5 practice hrs>2hrs game time

This is embarrassing, people need to learn how to read a title. Take someday off and get yourself a day to read a book. Sigh* that relief my stress.

I don't understand. The title says "How much time you guys put effort into practice" almost everyone answered that question. What's the problem?

Some folks tell me their routines when i am talking about time in practice. Now i edited my "description" talking about how much time you took to master the characters, not the routine.

Depends of the character you want to learn. You might have gotten impressed by him, but if you want to learn him, you need to practice these stuff. Some characters do have easy combos and inputs, some other not. Some of them, like Liu Kang and Kung Lao, do have hard executes.

It took me some days to learn Sub Zero completely. It takes me some hours per day to learn a new character depending of their difficulty. I learned Raiden for about 2 weeks. Now I'm learning Smoke.

 

[scarsunseen]

a LOT

 

[Dankster Morgan]

You never stop mastering a character. Iv played my character for 19 months and I always find something new so it never really stops as far as practice is concerned.

 

[Airvidal]

2 hours labbing/practicing every time I turn on my console and run MK. Then play matches for about an hour.

 

[Ac3s777]

Too much time I need match up exp

Then you should have tittled it "How much time do you guys spend in practice to master* a character"

Your tittle was very general, don't fault us for it.

 

[Yer_Da]

Is there anybody that has truly mastered a character? There's new tech almost daily, there's been patches and hotfixes throughout the games life and 9 DLC characters added in, so, to answer your question - it hasn't been done, in my opinion.
