Hate Speech: We Talkin' Bout Practice?

[Fuzzieviking]

NEED to add this here:

Playing against the CPU nonstop can develop really really bad habits. Just like playing only online, or playing against only 1 or 2 people. The CPU can not handle complex ideas and can not problem solve well. It can be exploited HARD. If you lack decent competition then play CPU sparingly. It's good for building reaction time, but useless for practicing mix ups. As a side note, thank you Idle for breaking the bad news to me. It humbled me greatly and allowed me to reflect on my fighting style and how I handle situations. Example: Pick Zasalamel. Do only 2A and 4B+K.

huh, Daaaaaaamn

I only practice execution, other than that I just play other good players and steal their strats

This is why you need to come up on a Tuesday or a Friday and play with us at GU.

I don't have local comp, so whenever I play SC at home I'm usually in training mode making sure my reactions are up to speed and trying to find new "tech" for my characters (not much to find at this point) or playing online/against the CPU. The only reason I play the CPU is to make sure my reaction stuff is in check (GIing certain moves on reaction, dealing with certain strings, hit confirming and whiff punishment off step, ducked grab etc...). Besides that, there isn't really a point in playing it due to the exploitable nature of the AI.

That said, all of these things are unfortunately boring to me (I used to spend a LOT of time in training) or add very little to my overall game, but at the very least they help me maintain my "level" in between sessions.
