How do you people remember these combo strings?

[RKade83]

I am legitimately sick of being beaten with half-minute combos. I don't mind losing but having to sit there and not be able to combo break is just boring. So while I'm sitting there, I got to wondering how in the actual hell do you kids remember all of those strings? I can remember little combos but man oh man that ♥♥♥♥ is just insane... insanely boring to watch.

Agreed. Think of just quitting the agme. Ppl just spam same combo, that luckly for them is favorable online due to low/mid block starter. and im just too old to give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore

Luckily, it hasn't been ALL the kombat league. I'm just waiting for crossplay so I can play with my blind friends who're on PS5, the console peasants.

The brain or scripts.

The only thing "too old" is your desire for a fighting game to not be about the same, rote, generic patterns across the entire roster of supposedly "diverse" characters... Which isn't about age, as much as it is about the brain craving stimulation.

I wish Samurai Shodown or Bushido Blade were blind accessible instead of this combo-game.

Psychology I've got. Muscle memory like pi to one thousand places for 80% damage combos or what-the-♥♥♥♥-ever I do not have.

im sticking to solo modes for a little while, if you cant remember these 25 move 40% strings theres no competition, miss one grab, afk for a minute. miss one block, afk for a minute, its not fun at all

That might be true my friend.

No point. Already unlocked all the seasonal skins for Baraka and he's literally the only character I can properly use. I tried all the rest (and I really wanted to love JK Simmons but he's just too damn stiff for me.)

at least theres still fun to be had playing with friends, assuming you arent buds with adderall snorting teenagers with all the time in the world on their hands

most people dont have time to learn 45 seconds of button combinations and timings, people have jobs, school, families, even all three. just sucks that in a 5 minute match a minimum of 3.8 minutes are spent in a stun lock

[RKade83]

That's what it boils down to. If I could break these combos more than once a match, I'd have less of an issue with them (let alone getting the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing to work to begin with,) but no. I'm just stuck for 4/5ths of the match because this guy can remember 45 seconds each of combos.

And I want to reiterate. I don't mind that I lose. I'm old. I'm gonna lose. But I can not abide having my time wasted just so some kid can show off how well he can memorize a test. Memorizing tests doesn't help in the real world. I don't know why the FGC is deluded into thinking the practice is a good idea.

Likely, this'll be the last fighter I buy. KOF, SF, MK, GG, Tekken, ALL of the fighting games do this long-ass combo ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I am sick of it. If I'm going to lose, I want to at least have the illusion of fighting back instead of getting juggled for the entire match.

Just do the combo break, before they start the long combos. I think is forward + RT (R2 on PS5 controllers)

KOF has the longest kombos, MK actually has the shortest.

The point of op is valid. You can brake one or 2 in a match. But ppl spam with convinient starters and put you into another combo right away and its anoying. Sometimes my armored wakeup gets interupted by regular overhead spam and that multiplies the frustration coz once again got to watch 20hit raiden/johny/smoke combo of 1212121212 + sereena 30hour knife throws and back again

Combos are easy, some of them are long but buttons are easy. Go practice.

I checked out your yt real quick I honestly don't think that your inability to memorize combos is the only problem
