I suck at 2D fighting games. Okay, well not all of them. I kick some major ass at MvC2. But, I've noticed that if I try to play some of the slower, less giant combo oriented games, I can't get past the first or second level. Particularly, SvC Chaos, KOF (Anything) and old Street Fighter (Before Alpha) are a big problem for me. It's not that I don't know my moves or anything. I can do all of the special moves. I'm just missing something non-objective. I don't really "get" the way the game works. Anybody have any suggestions? Comments? Anything?

i kick ass and never block just because you know all the combos doesnt mean you know when to use them usually in older games like that combos can be riskier than just doing normal moves

I prefer the games that don't rely on combos.  Though I'm not much good at them myself anyway.

My character of choice in SF2 is Ken (or Ryu).  Basically, crouch, jump kick, and fireball a lot.  Instead of blocking an attack, try roundhousing or uppercutting it.  Throw a lot, too.  I only use fierce - except to throw a slow moving fireball.  When catching the enemy off guard, I let loose a hurricane kick.  Dragon punch is reserved for a "from above" attack.

I think you can either play or you can't.  I can't play sports games if my life depended on me winning.

maybe you should stick with what you know.

When I play older 2-D fighting games, I like to use counter moves alot.  It all involves forcing whoever you are fighting into making a move and then making them pay.

One example:  In Street fighter 2 (with Ken or Ryu), throw a slow moving fireball.  After you shoot it, follow it in to your opponent.  Depending on how good they are, they normally have three choices;  Jump over the fireball and try to launch an aerial attack, block the fireball and try to block your close attacks, or if they can shoot projectiles as well, cancel the two fireballs out.

In the first example (jump at you), you can either counter with a Dragon Punch or a crouching fierce  punch.  Either way they will get knocked down and open themselves up for an attempt at a combo.

In the second example, you can either try to throw your blocking opponent, or you can jump in with a deep fierce kick and get a quick combo in.

The third example is the toughest to act on.  It all depends when your opponent fires off his shot.  If he shoots immediatly, that pretty much ends any counter you might have had planned.  If he delays a little bit and you can get close enough, you can usually jump in with a deep fierce kick/sweep combo, or the more flashy deep jumping cross up fierce kick, crouching weak kick, fierce Dragon Punch combo.

Sorry to rattle on so long, but I've been "training" at Street Fighter for a while so I got alot of BS to spew.
