As someone that is like you for the most part, I am decent, not amazing, but love fighting games, and Mortal Kombat is my favorite fight series. I go into practice mode and experiment and let's say I figure out how to do a 7 hit combo...my next goal is to figure out how to create an 8 hit combo...and then further it and further it, and then try it against a hard CPU fighter. Doing it against a live player is the true challenge. Sometimes though, I will also watch tutorials online, find a combo with a character I want to try, write their input down and how many hits they land and the percentage of damage, and then I try and do what I just saw in practice. PRACTICE is the key. But those who are like Evo good, 90% win good, playing fighting games IS ALL they do. So, find what balance works for you. Have fun.

Find people you don't mind playing against and practice, practice, practice. Learn how to read what's going to be high, mid, low, overhead, so on.

Honestly if your not really good with fighting games i would recommend going into practice mode and whatever character you use mainly get down there combo strings in there combo settings. And just practice that for a while and get use to your buttons then start implementing there special moves into the combo strings and see which moves connect and which don't it'll be a bit difficult depending on what character you use but just practice there combo strings and get down the basics to the character and then you'll get the hang of it. And also don't be afraid to play online that's how you'll get better more.

watch isuper, he taught me alot about fighting games

Watch some character tutorials and pro tournament matches online and you're gonna have a basic grasp on your character's game plan, then practice and get familiar with your BNB combos, next you can have some fun fighting AI in different singleplayer modes to form muscle memory. If you can beat some hard AI and feel comfortable, go online PVP and keep in mind that the goal is to learn and improve, so dont get frustrated by losses especially when you're still newbie. Remember to watch your match replay to find out what did you and your opponent do right or wrong.

no secret
fighting game is like an martial art: more you play more you're good.Just find you're way

[LosBukis]

learn on youtube and train for hours. Learn by VS others to study them.

Install Mortal Kombat 9, get floored by top tier characters over and over for years, then finally win once. That's when your balls finally drop and you become a pro gamer.

[bshock]

As others have said, you just play. Focus on a main and learn their combo strings, how to read attacks, and commit everything to muscle memory after hours of play. Then jump online and get bodied over and over until you figure it out or don’t.
