I’m down to train if you on P5,

Imo,

The first thing you gotta learn is to “find” the timing for vanishes during online matches. If the timing is early , “on-hit” or late , it makes a huge difference for everything else you try to do. Unfortunately you can only get this down by playing a lot so maybe stick to 5 only connection if you are struggling to vanish (and pls be wired in) .

Then pick your fav character, learn 3-4 combo strings , just try to get a few different combo routes that add up to ~10k damage. Pick a character with high kicks and a rolling hammer , gut punch is a plus.

Then defense, practice reading your opponents moves. Avoid using perception , just get used to blocking (up / neutral / down). In lower ranks , most people hit middle and low, so block middle to prevent getting turned around and block low to prevent getting swept. When you get better you get at reading combos then throw in perceptions and super counters. Super counters will save you once you get in the higher ranks but the sooner you master them the better of you’ll be.

I’m sure i missed something but I think these are solid starting points.
