So today I've been playing this fighting game that I got gifted a few days ago. Unfortunately, fighting games are one of the rare genres that I do not have any experience (except just a tiny bit of SF2 and Tekken 2/3) so I have no idea what kind of a pit I go. After 2 hours of trying to understand technical (and other 2 hours screwing around with stylish but realized that won't take me anywhere), here is the result.

Do you (people that play fightans) have any specific tips based on this video?

I'm still having major trouble on getting some of the attacks going as some random direction pops out to ruin my day.

I've got three gyms that keep getting taken over. Fight me son.

pfff, you treat your gyms the same way you treat your ass.

Ok Mara-kun, 1st things 1st. Have you done the tutorial? Blazblue's tutorials are one of the most well explained tutorials in fighting games, along with Skullgirls' one. 2nd, if you still struggle with Technical, try Stylish Mode instead. 3rd, get CPEX if you can, this is the most balanced to the date, until CF arrives.

Just be careful with Tagers.

And feel free to call me Izanami-senpai. Or Izanami-shozan.

Hard.

Fighters are all about memorizing the attack patterns and moves you got, guess. AAAAAA mashing doesnt get you anywhere.

Hades Izanami · ^

And guessing what will your opponent do and act in reaction to it. Here are some good examples

Mara tries fighting games

I just started playing BlazBlue CPEX, but I have some play time in Guilty Gear series (they're roughly the same game). So I'll tell you what I know.

As Boat said, do the tutorial. Not sure how it is in the earlier version, but CPEX tutorial goes deep. Unless you're already familiar with fighting games, it could seem a bit much so just go through it slowly. Usually tutorials are done in sections (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Start with beginner and then stop. Play arcade mode or versus for some time. If you think you're ready, go do the intermediate tutorial. Repeat the process for advanced. I suggest not going through all of them at once because tutorial is mostly reading and reading in fighting games is boring.

Blazblue (or any Arc System fighting games really) has a lot of diversity. Each character is very unique, and your ability to play one character doesn't really transfer to other character (there are always exceptions though). You have to start from the bottom every time you want to learn a new character. My suggestion is to try all of them, and see which one you like. By like I don't just mean how they play. If you think the character looks cool is also a good reason to master him/her. Just be prepared to spend some time. You can't get good at any fighting game without spending time.

In the video, I think you're standing still in one place a bit too much. Ragna is better at close range, you might want to consider that. Don't be too afraid of Jin's projectile. Fireballs in this game are not as deadly as it is in Street Fighter. One thing about fighting Jin is you don't want to get hit by his crouching D, which can lead to huge damage. The move hits mid range, you're safe if you're far away or right in front of him. To get familiar with the distance, go to training mode, pick Jin, and do his crouching D until you're used to it.

Now for resources:
Airdash Academy - A YouTube playlist made primarily for Guilty Gear, but the core mechanics in both games are more or less the same. I suggest going through this one or two videos at a time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWfk3tO … P13AD1Pp3R
Dustloop wiki - Your guide for frame data, explanations and whatnot. Also has other Arc System fighting games. Just a good resource overall.
Gootecks - He's on Cross Counter TV in YouTube. Mostly Street Fighter, but has really good tips on 2D fighting games in general. I suggest this video where he teaches a beginner how to get serious in Street Fighter V.

Edit: added something about fighting against Jin.
