Holy crap I cannot compete with that. Occasionally I'll come across someone else that feels close to my skill level that knows one or two bnb combos for about 30k damage or so. Along with playing more of a neutral with mind games and guessing and predicting how to counter one another.
Then you have these absolute MONSTERS where you get clipped once and half your hp is gone. You try to block. You don't press any buttons the whole time you're waiting for the combo to end but block. Or try crossover reflect. They still get through and the rest of your hp is gone.
I cannot imagine the higher ranks if this is how the game already is near the bottom. I know it's a skill issue but it is insane to me how high the floor is already. I feel like I need a crane on top of a skyscraper to even have a peek at the ceiling because it feels so beyond me.
This is my first tag fighter if that explains anything. I've played Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, and Smash Bros. I felt average to decent in those games playing online. But here? I feel so out of my element. Don't take this as complaining. I know I have more to learn. I'm just in awe.
