What do you do to prepare for a tournament?

[Clark L.]

So, going to my first tournament ever(SummerJam.) I dont get to play offline alot, and I can only get good matches in with high level players when I spot them in a room or something. I do "fairly" online but im not going to be in the comfort of my own home on sunday. So im asking, what do you do to prepair for a offline tournament? (Mentally and practice wise)

Make sure you are confident in all mus.
Practice on the monitors at summerjam before you complete to get a feel of how your timing has to be.
Don't be nervous
Have all of your combos down
Music helps

When I went to my first offline tournament, I just made sure I was able to do every sort of combo offline 10 out of 10 times. I played a few hours against the AI just to get a feel how a fight would feel in an offline setting.

Mentally, I was a bit nervous getting there but once I sat down and began to fight someone, it literally felt like I was at home just fighting someone online. There's really no reason to be worried. Just play is all I can say.
