#02 - How on earth should I enjoy this game?
For beginners starting the game, how to enjoy this game
🐾 Why is this game so daunting?
In most fighting games, it's daunting to figure out "how to climb the ladder," but in this game, it's hard to even see where the ladder itself is.
Arcade Mode's CPU is so easy that you'll see the ending in a week, and if you jump straight into ranked matches, you're likely to get beaten by experienced players 9 out of 10 times.
✨ Reasons why you should still play this game
🚦 For Beginners: What You Can / Cannot Do Now
- Prediction and mind games (area of natural talent/skill)
- Developing chains/patterns (requires system understanding)
- Breaking down opponent patterns (requires system understanding)
- Equipping powerful combos (repetitive training)
- Replicating good chains/patterns (following reference materials)
👉 Start by "copying" the gameplay of skilled players as your teaching material.
