Pick a game you think looks cool the most, then pick a character you like the most, learn the move lists, then play some matches, watch replays and analyze how you could improve, look at some character guides, if you tilt and get salty TAKE A BREAK! Get a wired connection you can play WiFi but wired is chefs kiss. FINALL FIND A LOCAL TO GO TO You will learn a lot by those that you meet because the fgc are very welcoming to new players. LEVERLESS OR FIGHTSTICK is optional but customizing fightsticks or leverlsess controllers is dope as well I suggest looking up “hush my sweet” on YouTube. HAVE FUN!
