training

I don't train at all! Wahaha!


What I like to do instead, is mess up on the spot and lose multiple times in a row...



... No, really...

If you need to build your confidence, doing rote drills in training mode is alright. But if you're not scared of losing, the best way to learn is to try, fail, and then try again!

Practice is boring. Losing is fun! Woooo
 
Concentrate on a specific match up. Choose up to 2 characters you enjoy playing and work on becoming very competent with them. Find someone who likes picking the same character and play them often. Try to get a best out of 10 or 20 matches with them. Try to figure out which moves are punishable... some moves have awful frames, or the move is high or easily stepped. After you are familiar with the match up go to training mode and practice finding moves that will shut down the enemy's move list. This is called labbing. After you "lab" play them again. Try to play lots of different people, because everyone plays their character a little different and there are large differences in skill barriers from one person to the next.
