>I really enjoy watching FGC videos, stuff like Mr. Mixtape, Leon Massey, Core-A Gaming, SugarPunch, and TheoryFighter. I also watched two YouTube videos on how to get good specifically at 2XKO.
Leon is a legit shitter and Core-A Gaming channel is just a retarded pseud
Nothing wrong with watching channels similar to those, just those two are pure garbage in reality
>The reason I’m in Iron is probably because I’m stubborn. During my placement matches, I rematched both players I fought.
Yeah you're supposed to rematch, it might not be actually beneficial for your placements but it's helpful for actual growth as you get a second or third chance to improve on stuff you definitely noticed in the former matches.
> A mechanically mature player would be someone doing parries, push blocks, and dash blocks while still in Iron.
To be fair both the pushblock and dash block aren't that great in this game and the applicable situations require some fore knowledge at this point till they tune the mechanics better. You're not missing out heavily at those ranks.
Parry can be helpful though, if you know something slow is coming, especially while you're forced to block like in a blockstring (similar to Darius's or Blitz's pull moves for example) you can use stand parry and get a full combo.
>Assists
Depends but generally to cover your ass. Illaoi's tentacle slam is a top tier screen control tool. The other move is also good for that but not as much, in return it generally lets you combo if they fuck up. You can also use it in pressure to make sure they sit the fuck down and take whatever you're dishing out, like if they try to jump out often to fill that gap, if you want to use a riskier move like applying bleed.
