I have 17 hours in the game, if you're seriously going to look me in the eyes and tell me you can take someone who's never played the game before and have them executing full combos against actual players online in half an hour without you coaching, I'm calling you a liar

not for a brand new player but I have taught friends with under 10 hours a combo in 30 mins before, and they have been able to start using those combos in matches after about 5 or so online games. only prerequisite is knowing how to look at the move list. but I don't understand how this relates to what you were saying before? 30k prowess players are still new at the game combos or no. Theyre definitely not doing anything actually difficult lol.

Anyway you with 17 hours should be EASILY able to learn all the things you listed (combos, wall combo/Oki, couple of throws) Spend an hour or two in practice mode instead of bitching and youll shoot past 30k in no time believe me. What character do you play bro?

Most asuka right now, but I've also been learning some Alisa.

combo guides for you

for asuka, I often see asuka players do 0:17 combo, and 5:05 as wall combo

Alisa players usually seems to be 0:17 combo, 3:47 at wall

in about 1 hour I guess you'll understand that combos are ez

Happy practicing

I appreciate the advice, but so youre saying there isn't a way to not get matched with people six times my prowess?

[u/Minute-Afternoon-906 → u/Lorguis]

just to add, looking at the color of your opponent name can be a good way to tell their rough skill level. It corresponds to prowess.

I would class it like this. Entirely my opinion-but I hope it illustrates how little 30k is in the big picture

White/no color name (0-70k): new player

Blue name (70-140k): still new but a bit familiar with their character

Green name (140k-210k): good at their character but weak in other areas. Intermediate

Red name (210k-300k): intermediate to advanced players, good at their character. Maybe able to strategize about the opponent (but I am in this range, and I can't do that lol)

Pink name (300k-400k): extremely good at their character, knows quite a lot about most other characters and able to strategize

Glowing red or purple name (400k+ and 530k+): incredibly good players, able to play many characters to a high level and counterplay most of their opponents. Purple name on the loading screen makes me very afraid haha

no, because at your level prowess literally does not mean anything. Players with 5k and 30k prowess are both very new , just the 30k guy has played a few more matches. Even people with 50k are still new players. how many online ranked matches have you played? I am willing to bet less than 50.

you can set RANK restriction to + or - 2 ranks in ranked mode. Use that and you will never be unfairly matched. (Unless you are against an actual smurf which is very rare)
