Im trying, but my brain just stops working when i see the combo buttons. Atleast im getting decent at blocking
Ways to gradually be better:
Go to training mode and pull up your characters full move list. Try each one.
From this memorize your poke combo string which is usually fast and something like 1,1 or 2,1 or 1,2. AKA square button is 1, triangle is 2, X is 3, and circle is 4.
Then memorize which string is a launcher. Often it’s up+forward and 4, or 3. Victor for example is up forward and 2.
Now learn a solid hitting string while they are juggled, and end it on a cork screw. In the move list it has a red symbol with a twister icon almost. Then you find a finisher which is usually the heaviest hitting button like forward forward and 4.
Now you know what to look for in each character at a fundamental level. “This is their poke, this is their launcher, and this is an easy combo to do”
The easy mode button with L1 actually lets you see those combos and I believe they are damage scaled to do less and the first page of moves that isn’t the all list, shows you basic combos to learn. Aim for 56+ damage before hitting a wall. When you get really good and start using heat, walls, etc then go past 60-80 depending on resources used.
Hope that helps.
