Yeah I cannot get how to really play those games. Even when I lookup moves, how the hell can i remember them, and how in the world do you do L R updown AB while getting bicycle kicked in the face? Never got it. A shame becuase I love how they look (street fighter 2 etc)
When Street Fighter and MK came out, I had an EGM copy that listed all the moves. I’d start two player vs by myself and then just spend hours practicing and building up the muscle memory. Then when I had some moves down, play against CPU to get better. I’ve since moved away, but that’s how I did it.
In later games, most seemed to have a practice mode showing each move list at your own pace. I’ve since moved on from fighting games, but I’ll bet most have a good training mode.
Do you use retroarch? I’ve been trying to get mine to use all six buttons on macos, but can’t figure out yet how to map them so I can play genesis roms. I’d appreciate any help you’re willing to give. Thanks.
I used to; I don't really have any solid advice though - I just had to try mapping it out, if a button didn't work right, change the mapping until I got that one right, repeat for all of them until it was the way I wanted it.
I don't think I have ever actually learned how to play Super Smash Bros. It's all trial and error with each character and pressing ⬇️+B. Needless to say, I'm not very good.

This is also why I lose fighting games to twelve year olds, and have since I was a twelve year old.

Oh that's a good move, I'm gonna press that again. Hmm, it's a completely different move now.
Every time.

Effectiveness for me follow a pattern.
If I have no clue what I'm doing random bullshit is fairly effective.
If I know moves but am not practiced, I do terribly whole trying to do specific stuff instead of random bullshit.
When I finally get gud 300 hours later I am slightly more effective than I was with random bullshit!

It's all about the controller man, back in the day having the 6 button genesis controller was like it's own cheat code.

Sega Saturn is even better with the additional shoulder buttons.

Reminds me of the days playing Mortal Kombat Trilogy on PS1.
