your shadow meter builds from blocking projectiles??? so spamming projectiles builds our meter super fast
I feel like Iâm relatively not very good, but how can I really improve if when I go online they pair me with a trolling spammer who I can or cannot beat, but it really doesnât really give me experience to improve (no neutral, no set play, no clever chooses) or they pair me with a killer way more experienced than me who destroys me (which is kinda better, at least I can steal frame traps and mix UPS) but I really canât put in the game the time I spend in training. Maybe it s just the frustration it comes naturally learning a new game, especially a fighting game, I don t know.
everyone and there mother is a killer. the problem isnt matchmaking. problem is highest rank is too easy
if you have a problem with spam realise what youre doing wrong because spam is not a strong tactic
Sounds like a good strategy to me to do combos that do a lot of damage! If you get hit in fighting games, even a game like KI that has combo breakers, youâre going to take some damage. (In fact, in KI, you can take a lot of damage very quickly)
If youâre struggling in particular with a strategy your opponents are doing, ask us for help. Weâre here to help you get better.
at high level play short combos are the goto. at least for jago
This is the part where you need to tell yourself to âgit gud.â Youâre going to have to learn how to beat spammers and break combos if you want to win. You wonât be able to raise up to the next level until you do. The people youâre playing against are Gold and Silver for a reason.
Backdash, depending on the character, can actually still have its uses while in the corner. As a general note though, it actually sounds like you need to learn to just sit still on your wakeup. You should not be waking up with tiger fury every time you get knocked down. Also, blocking is one of the most efficient ways in the game to build meter. And you shouldnât be able to recover all the damage theyâre doing to you with âcombo spamâ. That is their reward for opening you up in neutral - you are afforded the same opportunity when you land a hit.
And if they truly are âspammingâ the exact same combo over and over, then mash instant breakers the moment you get touched (which is generally NOT a good strategy, but will defeat their offense if it truly is consistent âspammingâ of the exact same combo whenever they touch you).
But generally, it actually just sounds like your own game simply has holes that youâll need to work on closing. Projectile spam in this game is, on the whole, not a very good strategy. Most of the castâs fireballs arenât particularly difficult to dodge, and almost the entire cast has shadow punishes for fireballs attempted in the mid-range. Ditto for consistent combos - itâs generally not a great long term formula for success, as it forces you to make hard reads on counter breakers as a precondition for victory. Spamming double roundhouse is also not good - the move is insanely shadow counterable. Most of the things youâve mentioned in this thread actually arenât great strategies; it is on you to improve to the point where you recognize the holes in these types of gameplans and exploit them.
Itâs a fighting game. People playing stupidly is something we all have to deal with. Even Killers sigh
All I can say is learn how to beat these strategies and when the trolls get the better of you just forget it happened and move on. Work on your fundamentals, learn matchups and fight some shadows or Kyle CPUs. They will force you to use fundamentals whether itâs a part of your game plan or not.
The KI shadows system is actually super amazing. Itâs a legit way to practice matchups (if you find a decent shadow).
I just wish it was a bit more prominently displayed/easy to access.
Itâs my sincere hope that S3 does a lot of work refining how they present shadows to us, making it easy to challenge any shadow with any character, giving us the ability to create more shadows, putting them in story mode AI, hiding it a bit less so more people will create and maintain one, etc etc.
I would like to see something along the lines of Replays that you can watch of your Shadow. Because we always just get the aftermath of the fight, (Wins & Losses and such) But we never get to watch the match. I personally would love to see how my Shadow reacted to setups and such, so that way I can train it into fixing itâs mistakes and make way for a more perfect shadow.
Yep, exactly. I imagine replay files are small⊠canât they save all the fights our shadows were in? If we donât check in for a few months, just save the last 10 or so for us when we get back?
The other thing shadows would be great for is learning a matchup with a new character. Say Iâm trying to learn Hisako and I want to play against a Glacius player. If I donât have a Hisako shadow (which is very likely since there are only 2 shadow save slots), I canât go and fight Glacius shadows online. This is a real unfortunate loss of a learning opportunity that would be perfect for the shadows system. Why canât I just do a search for Glacius shadows, find one I want to fight against, and pick any character I want?
^â â â â â â â , I just submitted a long-â â â â response in the Shadows section of the survey and I forgot to mention that.
A few months might be stretching it a bit. Fight replays are probably tiny, but they also probably break if the slightest aspect of any mechanic is tweaked.
I love how this thread took a turn for the productive, so Iâve decided against posting a link to the âOn Cheapnessâ article.
Damn I love this community.
Dont give up get better.
or just use sadira.
Thatâs preposterous and you know it
Youâd be disappointed. I just hold back when a Jago rushes me at the beginning of a round. Either he jumps over me and I get the anti-air, or he DPâs like a nut and I get a full combo punish. Not too worried about getting thrown anymore.
People can tell you, Iâm a Jago of Patience, Iâll wait for you. Because Sadiras kinda get antsy when your blocking everything. We will seeâŠ
Lol. Iâm game - need to get back into shape with Sadie anyway. Shoot me a PM and we can set up a time to run a set
