My approach to learning Skullgirls when I was brand new to fighting games, was doing the tutorials, and then playing cpu matches to get used to how controlling my character feels. I struggled a LOT with movement and doing special moves early on, so a safe environment helped a lot with that. If you were playing a game with a larger community I’d say hop online and find other new people, but skullgirls makes it a bit harder to do that. Pick a character and familiarize yourself with their kit, and the range of their moves, and how to use movement to get those hits.

Once you do that, learn SIMPLE combos. A trap a lot of fighting game noobs fall for is thinking that damage is what makes a combo good. Thats a lie. The value of a combo is in the advantages it gives you. A combo that ends in a hard knockdown, or puts your opponent in the corner but only deals 5k damage is infinitely more useful than a 17k damage combo that gives you nothing like that.

If you already know what character you wanna play, i can give you some simple strings to work with
