TEACH ME THREAD!

Re-edited. So long story short. I "thought" I was getting good, but I had no idea what I was doing up until yesterday. I learned the moves, figured out my range to an extent, and realized that I've kind of been wasting my time playing as a casual. I have some questions, and I would appreciate it if you could share some insight with me.

1. Punishment data. There are so many moves that can be punished, and even more if you master JGs. I was told to focus on the 10 main moves of each character to start. Doing them in order isn't so bad, but I am terrible at reacting to them in random order. Even more in real combat.

My question is, does this technique require lots of time in practice, or are there ways to learn this faster? My other question is, a lot of moves I can do much more easily for less damage, but the recommended ones are too advanced for my level of execution. I am practically brand new to fighting games.

2. Reaction time. I feel I would be twice as good if I could block sweeps. I can just barely block them in a VS battle, but online the frame delay keeps me from blocking them. My input is there but my guard is just a split-second too slow, which is an improvement for me. Viola in particular kicks my butt with just three moves, but when I go to practice mode, record the moves and play them in random order, I cannot keep up with the timing. I make friends with people who spam sweeps because I feel it will help me in the long run.

My question is, will my reaction time get faster if I keep practicing the way I have been, or would it get faster if I just practiced blocking sweep after sweep in general, even knowing what is coming? Maybe I should ask some friends if they would help me practice by fighting while throwing in the more-than-occasional sweep?

Thanks for your time.

Honestly the best way to practice is to just play ranked, and if someone completely destroys you stop, look at the replay, analyze it, figure out what you did wrong and invite that guy to a private game and fight him again. The only things you should practice in training mode are things like just guards and combos/mix ups. Practicing defence against sweeps in training is kind of useless because you know it's coming. As an additional comment, you should be able to execute all of the moves you character can preform, just practice doing them in training mode until you can do them somewhat consistently and then jump into ranked. Hope that helps

If you were on PSN I'd train you if you wanted. But feel free to PM me with various Yoshi related questions. I'll help if I can.

Honestly there aren't enough Yoshi players around, so it's good to see an aspiring player.
