10 matches Beginner Training checklist
Training drill · Fighter basics

Move without attacking

Current version

Learn the Fighter’s walk, jump, retreat, and preferred distance before hiding movement inside attacks.

Training stage
Fighter basics
Skill job
Neutral
Repeat gate
three clean approaches
Player job

Build a repeatable neutral answer before adding another system.

Use now

Cross the screen, retreat to the starting range, and stop without pressing an attack.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup three clean approaches before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Attacking during every movement test hides poor spacing.

Training drill · Fighter basics

Choose one neutral button

Current version

A first character needs one button that reaches the intended range without forcing a full commitment.

Training stage
Fighter basics
Skill job
Neutral
Repeat gate
five clean contacts
Player job

Build a repeatable neutral answer before adding another system.

Use now

Test the button at close, mid, and maximum reach, then note where it whiffs.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup five clean contacts before marking the drill complete.

Risk

A long-looking animation may not own the range you expect.

Training drill · Fighter basics

Build one simple confirm

Current version

One reliable hit into a short ender creates more match value than an optimized route that drops.

Training stage
Fighter basics
Skill job
Confirm
Repeat gate
five repetitions each side
Player job

Build a repeatable confirm answer before adding another system.

Use now

Confirm the first hit before finishing the same short route on both sides.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup five repetitions each side before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Changing routes after every drop prevents useful muscle memory.

Training drill · Defense

Find one anti-air answer

Current version

Every range plan needs a response when the opponent leaves the ground.

Training stage
Defense
Skill job
Anti-air
Repeat gate
five jump-ins stopped
Player job

Build a repeatable anti-air answer before adding another system.

Use now

Record one anti-air, movement escape, or defensive answer that works from the normal spacing.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup five jump-ins stopped before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Ground control alone does not stop a vertical approach.

Training drill · Defense

Block and punish one unsafe action

Current version

A beginner route needs a reason to stop pressing and let the opponent make the mistake.

Training stage
Defense
Skill job
Defense
Repeat gate
three successful punishes
Player job

Build a repeatable defense answer before adding another system.

Use now

Record one common blocked action and answer with the shortest reliable punish.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup three successful punishes before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Trying the longest punish can turn a won defense into another loss.

Training drill · Defense

Practice one pressure escape

Current version

Defense improves when the player knows one exit rather than pressing every option.

Training stage
Defense
Skill job
Defense
Repeat gate
three escapes without mashing
Player job

Build a repeatable defense answer before adding another system.

Use now

Recreate the pressure and test block, movement, reversal, or spacing until one answer repeats.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup three escapes without mashing before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Random inputs make it impossible to learn why the escape worked.

Training drill · Support layer

Name the Fighter problem first

Current version

The Support slot should answer a specific approach, control, defense, or reset problem.

Training stage
Support layer
Skill job
Support timing
Repeat gate
one written problem
Player job

Build a repeatable support timing answer before adding another system.

Use now

Play the Fighter alone and state the exact situation where the plan stops.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup one written problem before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Choosing a Support before finding the gap adds complexity without direction.

Training drill · Support layer

Compare one Support at a time

Current version

Appa, Gyatso, and Momo should be tested against the same situation.

Training stage
Support layer
Skill job
Support timing
Repeat gate
three identical setups
Player job

Build a repeatable support timing answer before adding another system.

Use now

Keep the Fighter and training setup fixed while changing only the Support.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup three identical setups before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Changing Fighter, Support, and combo together destroys the comparison.

Training drill · Online check

Play a short rollback set

Current version

Rollback and crossplay reduce distance barriers, but the current connection still needs a quick test.

Training stage
Online check
Skill job
Connection
Repeat gate
one complete short set
Player job

Build a repeatable connection answer before adding another system.

Use now

Use a short set to check lobby join, input feel, rematch, and reconnect behavior.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup one complete short set before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Starting a long group session before the connection test raises the cost of failure.

Training drill · Online check

Save one next-session goal

Current version

The first online set should produce one training target, not a complete tier judgment.

Training stage
Online check
Skill job
Connection
Repeat gate
one named blocker
Player job

Build a repeatable connection answer before adding another system.

Use now

Choose the repeated loss—entry, anti-air, defense, confirm, or Support timing—and return to that drill.

Safe next action

Repeat the same setup one named blocker before marking the drill complete.

Risk

Changing characters after every loss can hide the real blocker.

Failure recovery

Recover a session that produces too many problems

Keep the character and reduce the next session to the first repeated failure.

  1. 1
    Review the first repeated loss

    Ignore one-off mistakes and find the situation that appeared more than once.

  2. 2
    Remove the Support layer

    Confirm whether the Fighter has a base answer before adding assist timing.

  3. 3
    Practice the shortest response

    Use one button, escape, or confirm until it works from both sides.

  4. 4
    Return for another short set

    Test whether that single change survives online conditions.

Decision table

Train the blocker, not the entire move list

Use the action column as the next test, not as a claim about hidden game values.

Player questions

Beginner Training FAQ

Use the current game panel before spending rare resources on a value that can change.

What should a beginner practice first?

Start with movement and one neutral button at the Fighter’s intended range before learning a longer combo.

How long should the first combo be?

Use the shortest confirm you can repeat from both sides. Reliability creates more match value than an optimized route that drops.

When should I add a Support?

Add Appa, Gyatso, or Momo after the Fighter reveals a specific approach, control, defense, or reset problem.

What should I take from the first online set?

Save one repeated loss situation and turn it into the next Training drill instead of changing characters immediately.
