Fighting Game Training Mode

[@absoul112]

One of my favorite training mode adjacent things is that in Guilty Gear XX +R you can hop into training mode while watching a recording of a match and figure out different outcomes for the same situation. Wish more games had that.

[@Thee_Znutz]

Question how to do that ? I'm a newbie in the game and fg in general

[@absoul112]

@@Thee_Znutz If you got 6 minutes this video shows you how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKSbi6eObLqKnc0

[@flayncele]

@@Thee_Znutz on the main menu go into 'replay' and choose the replay of the match where the situation you want to test out occurred, and during the replay you can pause and choose to take control, then the point you took control becomes like a save state, where you're controlling yourself, the opponent is doing the exact same things they did during the match, and now you can try and deal with their shit and use the reset button to load state. very useful against more complex characters where you're just kinda fucked if you want to replicate what they did to you so you can learn how to counter it but you have no idea how to play that character

[@deltadark2665]

Training mode is by far one of my favorite parts of fighting games, nothing feels cooler then just experimenting with the game, and it’s even better when it works out in a real game

[@Zetact_]

Even in the best of times, Training Mode is like if you're studying for a test and the only advice you have is, "It's somewhere in the book, go find it."

[@BlueBeast125]

When it comes to practicing Fighting Games, I feel like a mission mode/combo trial system helps a lot more. It gives new players an idea of where to begin and how to approach combat as this character. And from there it's much easier to jump into training and start experimenting. I haven't touched most of the characters in Strive because of this, while in Xrd I at least tried every characters combos to see whose playstyle I liked

[@origamiman5460]

And then there is Smash where the community has to mod the game to even see if a combo is true. Really with smash would finally add some support to the competitive scene

[@Poopsickle12]

Yeah, name one time Nintendo supported a fighting game, wrong answers only

[@jojo95DK]

Not just Smash, all platform fighters training modes are awful This includes RoA and NASB

[@DigiMatt52]

The only thing that keeps me from being able to utilize training mode is recreating scenarios. Specifically escaping pressure. Which means I have to record the opponent's pressure, which I often am not able to do because I fizzle out. Really wish I could implant a recording into training mode kinda like GGAC+R

[@Micha-Hil]

the training mode itself in fighting games determines whether or not i play the game the training STAGE, however, is also a massive factor

[@drowsyspook3455]

I probably spend more time in training mode more than I spend in playing matches😂

[@ikutenshi]

Yeah, training modes have improved, but +R replay is a revolutionary feature and I wish it could be in Strive (and all future fgs) as well

[@MeeB3]

Was expecting you to go training modes have come so far and added a lot of things over the years like controlling the ai, frame data, setting counter states, frame data as dlc…. But this is coming from me a tekken player so I get why my brain went there.

[@thatwhiteninja5617]

The ggacpr replay function should be put into every game it’s so good

[@Scroteydada]

Even some old snk arcade cabinets had a training mode option

[@thelastgogeta]

Any examples? How was it accessed on arcade if not dipswitches?

Babe wake up, new Gekko video

I think this is the first time I seen Gekko's face. Looking quite dapper there young fellow

[@Marnikoi]

As a lab monster, I'm very concerned. How to find situations to lab if YOU'RE TOO SCARED OF THE PEOPLE OUTSIDE YOUR LAB

[@shaggydinkles1917]

fight a CPU in versus and then test it out on a real opponent

[@RivalFaust]

The best advice i can give you Is to not care. Eventually there will come a point where you dont even think about it and just jump directly into ranked. We are all constantly learning and are not perfect so never feel discouraged about loses or demotions

[@Marnikoi]

[@ahoy4301]

They need to add an option so you can make the cpu stop spamming supers

[@AB54099]

Now to actually remember what I'm trying to figure out instead of purging the painful experience from my mind as soon as the match is over.

[@MegaMania0]

Training mode is great, but one thing that platform fighters tend to do that only a few traditional fighting games have gone for is the ability to slow down training mode to practice combos. Seriously, WHY ISN'T THIS A FEATURE THAT EVERY FIGHTING GAME HAS AT THIS POINT.

that and the "punch the child" certificate coming from the University of Leeds. Gave me a good chuckle.

Oh I remember the first time I went in training mode it was Mortal Kombat 11, I didn't know at the time that you had to do the direction of the move then hit the button

[@eastcoasttone3952]

Practice the same combo over and over again in the lab and maybe trying to make slight tweaks to it by experimenting with roman cancels, switching different moves in it, etc. is so relaxing for me

[@themphantom9138]

I mean, yes, every Fighting Game needs a Training Mode, and if it didn't have one, just find a Friend and set a Timer to Infinity, then Train with Said Friend on trying New Combos.

The only thing I really want from Strive is like, dedicated combo trials so I don't have to rely on others or try and figure things out myself, it's frustrating because I just feel like I'm falling so behind everyone because I don't know what transfers into what, yet everyone else I play with seems to know exactly what to do and how to kick my ass

Another thing you can do in training mode is record what the cpu does on higher difficulties. I have yet to do this but when I see the cpu do some wacky stuff in arcade or vs cpu I go, "How the hell did it DO THAT???"

I feel like every game would benefit from training modes if I am being honest. Imagine how much more accessible speedruning would be if you have save states. I am an shmup fan and the quality of official training modes is shaky at best.
