traditional fighting games are hard af to learn lmao

I can't even block right lol
I want to preface this by saying that 2D is, fundamentally, very accessible and not as difficult to get into as people who don't play them think. Master is another thing, developing execution takes time, yes, but fundamental ability is not on its own difficult to pick up. Being in a city of all former Smashers that frown on 2D, I'd like to dispel that by saying that traditional fighters are one of the best things a competitive player can put their mind to. Hell, it'll even help your Smash game.

I can get you all of the resources you'll need to develop a very solid fundamental game.

The Fight Game Primer : A great resource that will teach you the very core of 2D fighters; Ryu vs Ryu, with later chapters getting into more advanced topics.


Beyond Technical : Great video series on introducing players to the mechanics of a 2D fighter, with demonstrations on what bare fundamentals can accomplish against a real opponent.


First Attack : A series by high-level players, for beginning players. Fundamental lessons from a professional perspective.


Street Fighter IV Handbook: Everything you need to get acclimated with the IV series' mechanics and terminology.


Footsie Handbook : Absolutely everything you need to know about the neutral game.

Domination 101 : Mentalities, attitudes, and other thoughts from Seth Killian.

No

Edit: Since two others made snarky replies before me. Yes, people do still play PM
I'm in training mode on PM right now, have 20xx going on the other CRT, dustloop on some other tab, and am doing my Germ homework. What are you guys, doing?

That's ignorant. You're ignorant. Fight me in Ultra and I'll show you some movement. And you can't manipulate your normal jump so that you actually think about your inputs instead of rolling your face over the y-button, and think about the consequences of doing such a risky movement option, you goober.

Do you realize how dumb that sounds? "you cant jump low because jumping high makes you think about what you're doing"

ffs i'm already thinking about what i'm doing by wanting to jump low, but apparently that's face rolling

Also yeah, Street Fighter has hardly any movement. you wanna see movement, fight me in PM, I'll show you some movement

>Implying less movement options makes a game worse

For shame PlateProp, for shame.

Yeah I know I only post in here when it comes to my stream, I'm sorry about that. I take a long time to post things, and lately I haven't had time to do anything else besides work, and force myself to stream lol. I'm really sorry if it comes off a little buster status, but I don't know where else to advocate my shiz. If it's bothering you guys I'll stop.

Oh, I should've figured you played a worthless character.

The joke is that there's no value in the formatting.

PlateProp PlateProp This is all in good fun, of course, but, I'm serious about giving 2D an honest try. I started as a Smasher, couldn't put a dent in 2D, then started a year after Smash and my Smash game has done nothing but improve for it. I'm serious about schooling yo in some stuff on them to change your perspective. It's really a great experience, and I encourage you to give it a chance. On my next paycheck, I can even throw a copy of Ultra your way and show you some things.

Again, not joking, I'd love for you to give it a chance.

you wont because I dont like SF because it lacks movement options

I owned Ultra for half a year before I finally stopped trying to like it. Maybe sf5 will be different cause Ken can run and **** but I'm not gonna get into it anytime soon cause no ps4

Anime fighters are cool, but usually cause they're much faster paced/have Tao
tao is best

if only DOA was popular
You must have some weak enemies
No, my enemies are smart enough to know that a squirtle trucking at them that fast and low is not a good thing

You people dont even know real movement
Yeah im gonna go ahead and attempt to copy that for the future.

Partially related : Was playing PM after finals and for some reason plate and dad had came to mind so I decided to try squirtle.

How the **** can you main this character.

step 1: tap your cstick on the bottom 45s, if you get dsmash be happy because your gcc is blessed
step 2: if you have a blessed gcc, do a turnaround then on frame 19 (biggest momentum boost) tap down 45 behind you on the control stick. if you dont have one of these controllers, it's gonna be slightly lower. To get the turbocrawl ( the reverse movement) you have to run right, turn left then when you go to input the hydrocrawl just hold it and you'll crawl backwards. The huge boost only works to the left, but you can get some decent distance going to the right except it abruptly stops

also idk, it's fun sliding around and making people salty or something, i've been playing him since he was released in 2.5 and I was just a casul 16 year old

if this persists see a doctor immediately, it's possible you fractured a rib

yeah that sounds like something my lungs would do. no surface bruising, so hopefully it's not too serious tho

ice pack is helping, but my god is it still painful
medical stuff I'm reading through said:
Try to avoid lying down or staying still for long periods. It may help to sleep more upright for the first few nights.
how tf am I supposed to sleep upright. are there people who can do that?
