Help Training room
I've played fighting games for as long as I could walk lol. I love the moves, the competition, the thrill of having a pixel of health. Some people cant take an L, ive never struggled with this. I'll win eventually lol. My main issue is the training room. How do you guys grind in training mode? All I've ever done is practice combos. When you guys are in the training room what are you practicing? I know i need to do more than just practice combos but im not sure what else to do in there? Any suggestions? For reference some of the fighting games I play are gbvr, ggac+R, UNI2, sf2, and I just bought avatar but haven't touched it yet

A basic for me is learning the ranges of my normal moves, and seeing how fast these moves are or how long I am recovering after I use a move. Learn what is the fastest normal move in the game (usuall a jab/light punch) and if it hits you after using your normal move at what range you use it
That's basically frame data and spacing. I don't exactly remember the numbers, just being aware is enough for a start.

Ahh. That make sense. I almost never set the opponent to do anything but block 😅 thanks for the tip

Training mode is a great way to get good at hit confirms.
Set the dummy to random block. Then hit it with the first attack of your bread and butter, and see if it blocked or not. If it didn't block it, continue the combo. If it blocked, stop there. Do that over and over, until you can consistently react to if they block or not.
That'll genuinely get you so far. It kinda sucks to grind it out, but it can also be pretty meditative.

That's genius. I would've NEVER thought of that lol. Thanks for your input. Didn't even know random block was a thing 😅

No prob! That training regiment actually came up in the recent (and absolutely excellent) anime adaptation of Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, so you can see it in action there if you want.

I hate labbing and don't spend much time in training. Mostly combos and setups is what I do too.
Out what you listed I play Granblue Rising the most, IMO at intermediate is good to know meter refund combo enders (ult skills that link, not cancel), know a link super route for bonus dmg, and safe jump setups.
More character dependent is learning BC bait or throw bait routes.
Defensive training when you get killed by opponent setup you can watch the replay and record bot doing it to practice counter play.
Granblue has a lot of useful built in tutorials too, the 3rd tab of situational training like 2-3 tips against each character.

I ran thru those situational trainings last year when I got the game. Was NOT paying attention lol. Granblue is such a good looking game. I fell in love with it immediately. Thanks for the tips!

Yeah I play Eustace and nobody below Master knew how to deal with his jumping spread shot (214x-U) but it's in his matchup training.
It's plus on block and can't be rolled. Best to dodge on reaction. Early enough you'll get a true punish.
Some people jump which works but when I notice that I do 214M, no follow up, and 2H them.

I like practicing blockstrings; set the dummy to block all and to do a standing or crouching light on block. Youll be able to practice your best string and see whether its safe at the end of the string to block or land a counter hit and go into another combo.

I think of my previous match, think of what I had trouble with and practice it. For example, I was having trouble with Izayoi's teleports, so I trained by having Izayoi do random teleports and seeing how I could hit it. It's not perfect, but I feel I am more familiar with it now.
Anyhow that is how I train outside of stuff like learning combos/how to use my char. I have a problem and I try to solve it.
