you can learn rtses and shmups but you can't naturally learn fighting games by playing them. fighting games are quintessential wiki games that you have to spend hours in training mode in for a grand total of potentially a fraction amount of fun for the amount of work put in.

Both of these are learning, which is all part of *playing* the game. If training mode isn't playing the game, then why would routing be playing the game? You simply have a disdain for obstacles.

you have it backwards moron, i have a disdain of doing boring repetition. in training you're just practicing combos for 10k hours in the hopes you get 5 minutes of fun while in shmups you're playing the game and learning where to move as you do so. I'm not even a shmups player but i know it's far less retarded than fighting games.

This all depends on the game and your skill level. Like even basic movement needs to be practiced in mvc2, but in other games you're practicing things like confirms, whiff punishes, defense, etc. Like not to be rude but just your basic kit of like combos and oki takes like no time whatsoever to learn in a modern fighting game.

nta but i can see why beginners have this misconception, because i only started playing fighting games like a year and a half ago
when i was a beginner i really struggled with combos and took hours for me to learn each one, it's only after i got to a certain level and was familiar with the mechanics that combos became easy. for someone with experience in FGC combos will take like 15 minutes to learn for each character(excluding the weird autist stuff) but that's not the same for noobs

this is a board where people put on cheat engine to play fotm slop to complain about it because they keep seeing it on their social media timelines and have to keep up with whatever is in vogue. They don't even like videogames they're just too poor and buck broken to find something they actually do enjoy.

I'm really having a lot of fun in silksong and getting my ass beat by omega savage. I am reticently looking forward to Friday where I may flip a coin and get the new pokemon game. I really liked arceus but this one does not look to be near the quality of legends arceus. Also to keep on topic with your op I am platinum in SF6 but an absolute shitter who cannot understand frame data to get better. I want to learn some more characters but the sheer volume of information in learning matchups requires more time than I have to play it. I should change jobs.

oh no I understand the premise it's the practical application that eludes me. Maybe I'm old or not reacting fast enough. I play regularly with very good players to try and learn matchups. I block or parry their entire true combo string but cannot for the life of me catch the punish or opening. I don't know what the fuck is going on. It'd be great to be able to grind out matches with someone sitting on a couch and asking questions

People who don't play fighting games do not understand how little they will be able to learn in training mode if they haven't already spent a LOT of time actually playing the game. Grinding stuff in training mode is mostly only useful when you already have 10k hours of fundamentals from actually playing fighters and you just need to learn the technical details of a new game or character. If you don't have a lot of time smashing buttons against human beings then training mode is not going to do much to help you

>it's the practical application that eludes me
Because that's the hard part, learning to play against a human not learning the numbers. People at Plat in SF6 do not need to be pouring over frame data, you need to be fighting against human beings and only using training mode if you have a specific question like "what do I do against character tool X?"

Get some basic BnBs so you can convert from easy openings, learn the most basic character matchup info like which yeets are punishable and then SPAM ranked games and only use training mode to answer questions you have about ranked games. You should be thinking about what you're losing to and coming up with questions to answer.

This is correct. I'm pretty sure i have a mountain of hours just honing GG Xrd Faust defensive options and against (Matchup X) and even with the more combo heavy characters, i was more focused on labbing out the matchup kinks. It's quite literally the most braindead take to assume that people head into the lab just for combo practice. It might be useful for specific characters or occasional adjustments of combo pathing for character weight, but i never spent more than checking the b&b and more conventional combos instead of attempting to lab out some lvl 3 Jam combo (which you might see once every 100 matches, if you get a good chance.)

You can get to the fundamentals real quick and without much pain. What you're attempting to do is a shortcut for longer term mastery. I'd say most people should atleast put around 150-200 hours in most games just getting used to how things work, develop instinctual framework on what they know can work for them and then use the aides, tools and guides to hammer out bad habits. It's how most people learn, you'll never be some amazing prodigy without placing some skin into the game and that is how most people get into PvP oriented gameplay. It still doesn't mean it isn't similar to PvE games like Shmups, Character action and plenty of other genres.

How? Obviously the amount of hours varies from game to game, but if you're seriously expecting you'll master or become competent at specific game mechanics in less than a month, you're just seriously attempting to take the easy way out. Nobody is obviously saying that such dedication is needed, just that if you're planning on improving you'll need to put in time.

You're seriously missing the point. It's just complete casual play for all the hours and after that you can consider whether you want to improve or not. Nobody is putting you on a gunpoint when it comes to that. It's just that improvement itself does take time to accomplish and mostly is very linear with you learning new things on top of the things you already know. There is nothing "grindy" about that.

They'll most likely only learn when they're up against something that won't give them the chance to just randomly throw out buttons. It's why people tilt so much on most anime fighters, as "taking your turn" is a much larger sum of parts than just hoping your opponent goes on minus and you can slip in a fast button. It's also why i think UNIEL, Xrd and most of the more technically demanding games have such a high entry barrier. It isn't necessarily a knowledge check, but it is a very steep check on understanding what your opponent has access to.

The problem is that in fighting games and in 99% of RTS casual play doesn't have a clear path forward to intermediate play without practicing the shit out of execution and learning concepts that casual play didn't even begin to hint at. Casual play doesn't teach you the real fundamentals of those games at all.

No offense but that's just fucking dumb. No one who isn't hardcore serious about a particular game is ever gonna do that. Even just finishing a ten hour game is an amount of dedication that eludes the majority of video game players.

Huh? What it doesn't do is prime solely for MP oriented advanced concepts, which is something you can't expect the game to do in the first place. All it can provide is basic tools for that. Understanding the very core like micro, macro, resources, unit strengths/weaknesses and compositions are all instinctual in the sense that across all levels of play, those things remain constant. They're the fundamentals. Intermediate concepts like timing pushes, build orders and other facets governed in those concepts are the things that you can very well insert into anyone's gameplay over time as long as the fundamentals aren't completely fucked. It's very telling that most of the people in something like Starcraft and its sequel see more improvement from just fleshing out macro instead of getting all fancy with advanced concepts.

No, you still don't get it. Timing and build orders aren't intermediate concepts, they're the absolute ground floor to be able to play the game in multiplayer. If you don't learn them, you are going to get shit on, over and over and over, until you look them up, because someone who practiced them is going to beat you every time.

Yes, they are. If they weren't you wouldn't see anyone drooling in Wood League or whatever lowest tier of skill grading exists in the game in question.
> If you don't learn them, you are going to get shit on, over and over and over, until you look them up, because someone who practiced them is going to beat you every time.
The build orders largely prime for the other parts of the match, from there your overall gameplay will largely dictate the rest of the match. I think WinterStarcraft put it the best in terms of mechanical intermediate problems and that is that people obsess over mechanically advanced concepts and then you've got Silver and Gold Terrans doing TvP with harass openings and losing their Hellions to probes or other sorts of silly mistakes. A large pool of advanced concepts won't give you shit, if the entirety of your baseline skillset is rotten.

No, they're not intermediate. Wood is what happens when the fundamentals of the game aren't taught naturally to players. Build orders and timings are barely even a step above novice, they're too fundamental to the game: there's a reason any guide worth a damn tells you to practice macro heavy build orders as the very first fucking thing you do after learning controls.

That's not the natural inclination of a player coming fresh off the campaign and getting their shit kicked in by a smurfing Korean zerg rushing them.

No, any guide worth a damn tells you to focus on the macro as a cornerstone for all the building blocks. Get a long-term lead in economy and unit production, not obsessing over the first five minutes of the game. Build orders lay a foundation for such intermediate options. They also mean jack shit in the case where you have to handle a cannon rush, six pool or other shenanigans that will almost invariably throw off your timing to pivot to specific options to counter such things. Good scouting gives a better indication and is a much more natural skill to develop over autistically thinking that a build order chart followed to the fractions of a second will save you from the mistakes when you've already in the progress of making them.

And how do you get to that point? With a practiced build order and timings. Literally the first fucking beginner's guide I found said what I did: once you're actually interested in multiplayer and know the units and what they do, focus on macro build orders before anything else because you learn the game better that way.

Plenty of cases where tons of higher level players also have to adapt on the fly and it looks really crazy depending on the player. The same principles obviously apply at lower levels too, but usually the difference is that it's even more chaotic. Some lower level replays have some genuinely enjoyable and fun stuff going on.

No. You already know how the building blocks, units and economy works. Even if you practice timings and build orders, all you're doing is giving yourself a slight headstart in the cases where you're playing against an opponent at similar skill level. Even then, no amount of religious build order practice will make sure you'll transition into a stronger mid-to-late game, because usually for most complete beginners the game is already over before reaching that point and it's got very little to do with build orders alone and more to do with being unprepared for any kind of transitioning. To put it simply, most of the complete beginners replays might have some schmuck who has peerless build order and an attempt to do some fancy timing push. Only to realize he never scouted, never caught wind of what the opponent is doing and now you might have banshees sniping drones or other extremely rudimentary mistake that costs you the match.
