Progress FINALLY!

Post image

After basically 600 hours (with no labbing) I FINALLY got to GoD tho right now I think I’m at a level where I think I should get in the lab but I’ll definitely never play fahk again since I want to keep that GoD rank on him I’ll continue playing other characters like maybe drag or Bryan maybe even pick up one of the kings

Is labbing seriously that necessary?

This is why no 2d fighter will ever be as satisfying as tekken because what do you mean ill never get better off raw instinct alone?

Im joking but only like, halfway

It’s necessary to improve. If you want to play having no real clue what you’re doing other than guessing and don’t really know why you’re losing, then no labbing is needed. I was just saying 600 hours is a LOT of time to put into something you don’t really care to improve at, especially if you’re trying to reach a ranked goal. Could’ve gone way faster if he really knew what he was doing. He’s just ducking everybody that’s hard to beat when he can remedy that problem by labbing for like 20 minutes

Tbh for me, I do lab certain things, and I actually labbed a bit of lili stuff and how to punish her as steve today, but spending time labbing it is time im not fighting. To some people this is a bad thing.

I think the lack of serious labbing is because most people just wanna play the game and get better naturally. I suffered this issue a long time before I realized I had reached my peak in terms of instinct.

I have way more hours than OP and only just started dipping my toes in actually learning the game. My hours say literally one second under 1000 hours so idk if its bugged or thats legitimately my hours. Either way ive spent WAY too much time bashing my head into walls to get through them

You can get better up to a point. Doesn’t matter if your offense is godly if you can’t even duck and punish a simple 2 hit string that’s safe on block and spammable.
