As someone that plays Chess as their secondary competitive game, I love the connections made here. I definitely think they are the reason why it was so easy to pick up the ideas of every character having a million options, and how to plan for multiple things at the same time. Heck, when the timer is low enough in chess it feels like playing a fighting game sometimes. All the way down to taking advantage of opponent's mental game panicking due to lack of time, and either player making mistakes because they make impulsive mistakes in the small amount of time given. When it comes to being a brain based player, or heart player, I feel like I follow the philosophy of "You must learn the rules first, so you can properly break them". Right now I end up spending 3/4 of my time in training mode trying to get stuff down, only to toss most of it out and go with what feels right in the moment when I play the game. Oh but when the situation arises where you can finally do that combo you want comes into play, it's amazing..... Unless you drop it, then that's just one of the most agonizing feelings ever.
@DigiMatt522 жыл бұрын
I wish training mode would just let me tell the game what to do instead of trying to figure out what that person did so I can lab it out. Which I often cannot do. And as awesome as Combo Recipe is, it's hard to sift through what's real and what's "lawl ToD Wall on Chip"

@albertonishiyama19802 жыл бұрын
One trick I heard a lot in pro streams and helps a lot is thinking about "what you cant do" instead of trying to think about "what you should do". What you should do will eventually come to you with experience, and to get this experience the most important thing is being there for as much time as possible and test things. So go to town, mash your buttoms and learn what is a good idea and what is not. Put everything that didnt work in the "you shouldnt do this" can and have fun with everything else. A (kind of literally) pro-tip that helped me A LOT when I came back to fgs (and I was like... the "played with some friends at the arcade years back" level of play before it... so mostly a newbie).

The most important useful thing for making decisions is to break the game down into 5 states. 1. Recovery, when you are knocked down or getting combo'd. 2. Defense, when you are forced to block an attack or deal with projectiles. 3. Neutral, when both players have the freedom to use all of their tools, like at round start. 4. Pressure, when you force the opponent to block your attacks or you use projectiles. 5. Okizeme, when you knock down the opponent and try to set them up for the next hit. The goal should be to advance to a higher number on this list. A lower number refers to how screwed you are and a higher number is how screwed the opponent is. If you are knocked down (recovery) then blocking (defense) is a good option because it moves you up the list in a low-risk way. If you have the opponent knocked down, then resetting to neutral is a waste because you are giving them back their freedom while gaining nothing. Find out what your characters best moves are in each situation, and with just 5 moves and good situational awareness you can go from being a total beginner to an intermediate player.

I tend to go into auto-pilot when playing and when I start noticing that "hey, this specific interaction has played out like 5 times this set, and none of them in my favor. _maaaaaybe this is a good time to turn the braincells on before i lose the set..."_ Example: (KOF 98') I use s.CD as a mid-range poke to check them, my opponent hops over it and gets a combo. Solution: Bait the hop and anti-air with c.C uppercut. Got a whooooole lot of serotonin out of that 900 IQ play. Still lost the set.

They're kind of an inevitability but there really needs to be some better way to give players tools regarding knowledge checks beyond, "Go into the lab" or "look it up online." Really all it amounts to is giving like 3 separate options on dealing with it, with some being more optimal than others, so people are more likely to run across a way back to neutral as they're actually in a match. It makes it more interesting for the attacker, as well. Because most of the time, there's only one answer and players might not even try it. Just because something is solvable doesn't make it less frustrating to run into, especially if you had no clue that the check even EXISTED before someone started repeatedly using it against you.
@absoul1122 жыл бұрын
I get what you mean, but one of the reasons to use training mode is to figure out the answers to problems like this. It’s also not really feasible for there to always be 3 options to beat what an opponent’s knowledge check. Knowledge checks come in all forms and sometimes the answer is something the player isn’t used to doing.
@hijster4792 жыл бұрын
@@absoul112 I think the problem is that a lot of games are primarily built around reliable offense. To use Strive as an example the game uses hard knockdowns, nerfed IB, and altered or outright removed some characters reversal options. Most of the good defensive options cost meter and for some reason YRC has a longer cooldown than RRC. Even if you know exactly what to do your usually worse off after spending meter on a reversal. I do think a lot of modern fighters could use a 3rd option for the defend in most situations.

That’s delicious, and I will play around this expectation of a thing I can do in the future. God I love fighting games

For Smash Bros Melee the archetypal example of the Brain-based player is always Mew2King, he always had answers for so many micro-situations. The problem with Brain players is, of course, no one can know every possible scenario. So if your gameplan overly focuses on that then if you get surprised by a response (whether it was optimal or not) then you might be in trouble. This is independent of any kind of mental stamina and whether or not one remembers to lab out defense, which may have more of an impact than if you randomly get hit by the most predictable reversal every now and then.

I personally think that someone who is a Heart and Mind players is the single SCARIEST kind of player you can find in any game. These are the kind of people who know how the game work... but use their knowledge in the craziest ways possible. To use TF2 as an example: Trolldier. These are the kind of players who can use Rocket Jumping to jump in and smack you with a shovel that will probably insta-kill you. Rocket Jumping is something that takes a really long time to learn, so these players have the smarts of the mechanics down to a science. But they also play in a way that's sporadic by nature, and can absolutely blindside you if you weren't ready for it. These kinds of players learn the mechanics and turn the game into their personal playground. It dosen't matter if it's sub-optimal because they'll do it so well that they'll do it so fucking well that you won't even know what hit you! These players don't just bullshit. They do ADVANCED bullshit! Your basically fighting Deadpool by that point (the character in general, not the MvC character) and that's terrifying!
