So im supposed to know all basic combos?

[Terrarius]

Got destroyed by a 0game ky who already was capable of all basic combos...which left me wondering:
Are you supposed to be able to execute all basic combos with 100% consistency before even starting matchmaking?..
I thought having 50% consistenvy with the easyer basic combos was enough to atleast get 50% winrate against 0game players..

Im realy uncertain if it is normal to learn combos with such ease..everyone i face seems capable of executing them perfectly

basic combos in this game are easy

[The Chubby Cat]

i think because this is a niche game, so high chance to run into someone really good.
start with very basic combo like K S 2D for knockdown or follow by a special move for damage.
K:kick S:slash D:dust 2: crouch
for Ky end combo with his's Split Ciel after 2D.
like any fighting game you should practice to combo consistently (more than 80% maybe) and when you move to highger lv there are more to worry about than just combo

Play the tutorials if you think you're bad. 2-3 hours isn't even nearly enough to start off a fighting game tbh.

Especially if you want to play online, which is guaranteed to have people that have either played day 1 or previous games even.

TL;DR: Think before you proceed.

Relax.
This genre is different from the majority of the stuff you've played.
It will take a lot of time to become decent in this game.
Don't focus on learning combos. Learn few simple ones, and focus on creating situation where you can apply them.
Learn neutral game, learn how to pressure, learn your options with air approach, learn to mixup.
I've seen new people grinding out big damage combos in different fighting games - these combos didn't help them to win because they couldn't confirm into them, they were outplayed on a fundamental level.

What the tit is a basic combo.

[khermerker]

well i think you have to.. i mean they are hard but not so much.. and some do a lot of damage.. actually my current gameplay comes from them.. now as other as posted.. is needed but not enough... right now trying to learn the advanced combos for ram.. my char.. and do missions... actually i suggest you do ALL OF THEM.. the normal missions will teach def (all game have to offer.. if you dont know def.. you will be screw on game).. attack.. and in ex.. you will learn how defend to some technincs you will see on game a lot...

they probably mean the combos in combo mode

In this game, learning how to take advantage of a knockdown is much more important than knowing a combo. Start learning on how to move properly and how to pressure your opponent. Once you get confortable with the game's pace, then you can work in your combo game.

Abandon that. Your ego will only hold you down. You will lose much, much more before even beginning to understand the game.

Also, keep in mind that some people just got THIS version of the game, but have been playing GG for a long time. Went into someone's room that was labelled "new" players (which I am) and he perfected me with crazy combo linking and stuff. No way was he new... just new to this game. So those win % might be not reflective of the true quality.

I'd say keep practicing offline and join the discord if you want to find other new players (I'm pn PS4, or I'd say we could play some).

Yea, leave your ego checked at the door. If you are beginning in ANY fighting game, you need to accept that you will lose and you will lose often.

The biggest thing to remember tho is why you lost and how will learn from it to grow as a player. If anything losing, as long as you are learning from that loss, will do more to grow you as a player imo.

Personally, i like to really pay attention to mirror matches, especially if the player is alot better than me and kicking my ass. Why? Cause I can get alot more information on what other combos can be done or maybe a better way of applying a mixup or Oki.

you should at least have a basic combo off a raw close hit before facing people, even if its not an amazing combo you want to at least get in some damage and knock them down when the combo is finished. a lot of the people in the main world lobbies not the player lobbies seem to be on the newer side.
ky specifically has super easy basic combos like 1234 sweep stun dipper just press any buttons in order, he does a lot more damage if you start the combos from S or HS which is why its important to block, if he starts off light hits the combo ends up scaled like crazy and then its more about getting a hard knockdown

tbh, I would advise any new player to play the offline modes first, at least until they know what they're doing and not mash buttons all the time.
Also, in GG, big, flashy, high damage combos doesn't hold much of an importance, especially when you play Ky. Knockdowns from 2D or any other buttons are what's important, and how you capitalize on those knockdowns and keep up your pressure is the basic meta in this game.

The real basic combo I can give you for Ky is this, notation included below:
*any hit confirm from P/K* > c.S > 2D > 236D (Split Ciel) > *wait until Split Ciel animation ends* > 236H (Enhanced Stun Edge) > *continue pressure with anything you want*.
Basically, you wanna get a sweep into Split Ciel, and keep your pressure up with Enhanced Stun Edge coupled with Split Ciel rune. Trust me on this, my Ky's win rate is at least 98% on vanilla Rev and I don't know ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about Ky's high damage combos.

This. Why do people buy a fighting game and go straight to online? It never ends well. It's practically a meme at this point.

Because lately new-gen fighting games have "dumbed down" their game mechanics to make it easier and more accessible to newer players, and this trend leads to newer players believing that all fighting games out there do the same.. Which it is not.. And I don't blame new players for doing so.
smh, I get the OP's enthusiasment, and I applaud him for really trying hard and getting good at this game, there's not a lot of new players out there that can take punishments like this. But still, playing offline modes and familiarizing yourself with the game is always the first thing you should do as a new player, maybe dabble a bit with Stylish mode to get a feel for the game.

I don't believe that to be true at all. The only games that it's the case for is SF5 and MvC:I. Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Melty Blood, and numerous other fighters aren't dumbed down.

The honest truth of it all is just the type of person that plays the game. As OP said, it hurts his "gaming ego". If you want to know exactly how I feel, I don't want to waste my time with someone who has a gaming ego. It's immature and unnecessary.
