Street Fighter 5: 10 Essential Tips All New Players Need To Know

3. Delve Into Training Mode

Once you feel like you're getting to grips with combos, special moves and critical art and you've started to win some battles online, you can really get to grips with further refining your skills in the training mode. Why would you delve into training mode now rather than right away? The answer is simple. This will allow you to refine your timing and really allow you to set yourself apart as a player. Training mode allows you to experiment with various scenarios in battle, and even allow you to record actions of the dummy opponent fighter. The idea behind this is you can practise with various different types of online opponent. Put your dummy fighter into a permanent blocked state and you can experiment with ways on how to combat players who constantly block online. Another thing this mode will allow you to do is set your opponent to do a certain combo. In this mode you can learn how to counter all the various combos and attacks of all the different characters without sacrificing losses in real fights. You can set your opponent to block, but then instantly counter you, so you can learn what attacks are immune to those kind of tactics. You can do this for every single character, so bear that in mind. You can record all these actions too, so in a sense, you can pretty much try and bulletproof your attacks, combos and strategies.
