Let's talk Adam playing fighters, and switching between them!

Hey all.

So, as many of you all know, I play a /lot/ of fighters.

.....Okay, who the fuck am I kidding that's pretty much ALL I PLAY.

ANYWAY.

The question I get asked a lot is, "how do you stay within a sensible skill level of so many different fighters?"

To be honest, it isn't that hard. The main thing I do, when picking up or returning to a fighter is to learn a basic combo with my character(s). Since, outside of SSFIVAE and HDR, I rarely play much outside of online multiplayer ranked/player matches, this is an essential tactic to gain a little ground. You'll be surprised at the amount of people who don't know basic combos, instead relying on mashing (ANDREW) to get the job done. Unless this is Tekken and you're the sort of asshole who constantly picks Eddie or Elen-CHRISTIE you're not going to be able to get away with that.

Secondly, pick a character who works well in the games system and suits your playstyle in said system. Again, this happens too damn often on and offline, leaving many people in the dark. And don't think that just because you can rush that shit down in AE with Ryu means you can do it in Third Strike! To give an example, I play Cammy in the SFIV series, and the polar opposite in Urien in Third Strike. From offensive rush down, to a refined technical bastard play.

Third and final, is once in a while play the damn games, even just for fun. Arcade mode has a leaderboard! Go and top it. Training mode exists! Blow some steam off after a shitty day, beat the shit out of the cheapest most irksome character on the roster (YUN) and in the process, find what works for you and fine love for the games you are playing. Without a little love? This genre will eat you alive

All the best

Adam
