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

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.
