First of all I know this has been said before, a lot, but they really need to remove the character from the accept match screen. It just encourages people to dodge weak match ups.

But most importantly, it should give some sort of warning or ranked punishment if people leave in the middle of a set. It's so lame that I try to rank up and everytime I'm beating someone, of my same rank mind you, they just leave and I barely get any points for a set I could've won.

Meanwhile I get punished for actually participating in the set I agreed to take on and get beat up by a player higher ranked than me. Maybe the penalty shouldn't be too harsh if the player is higher ranked than you. It's understandable if a prodigy doesn't want to get beat up by a white lotus or whatever, but there should be something to stop this.

Please pardon my bias, because I hate long combos in every game, but there’s something about the way they’re executed in Avatar that I find them totally inaccessible to me.

I get the A>B>C command normal xx flow cancel into follow up or xx special into follow up xx flow cancel etc.. I just don’t understand how everyone accesses these. When I watch people do these combos that start a juggle and chain into extra specials and rejumps that land into standing normals that go into more specials and flow cancels and etc. I’m flabbergasted. Never mind that I think the combo is too long. I watched evo France and that’s just the standard for high level play. But everyone down to pro bender is accessing them. Except me. Mine just drop regularly. I feel like the timing on everything changes, it’s so frustrating. I tried learning a critical combo yesterday, but converting it depended on where on screen you were. Sometimes the follow up works, sometimes it doesn’t, I was either too close or too far. Like why? Why make it so hard to get a basic conversion off of a key starter?

Here’s what really kills me. I’ve spent about as much time playing avatar as I have every other popular combo centric game. I played 2xko, strive 2.0, sf6 season 1. After 50 hours in 2xko I couldn’t do the strongest optimal combo, but I could do a basic bnb combo that did almost as much damage. In sf6 I couldn’t do every optimal combo, but I had a DR combo off cMK, a blanka install combo with oki setup, an anti air combo. In strive I spent less time learning an actual optimal triple bomber time stop combo.

I just don’t get it. Why did they make this game’s combo system so obtuse? I bought this game cause my girlfriend wanted to try it out. She doesn’t like the system either. The game reviews from YouTube and Reddit praised the mechanics and flow system for its quality. I was told it had great neutral. Maybe it does. I currently feel like I need to win neutral 4 times as often as my opponent cause they kill me in two hits where I need 8. I could literally sign in and spend another hour failing at combos. But I don’t want to. It feels like a futile exercise that ends in frustration. That’s why I’m posting here. It’s a lot of my accrued frustration with this game and I want anyone else feeling like this that they’re not alone.

Do you think they’re going to improve the accessibility in the future? Or increase the damage scaling so that long combos don’t become necessary? If the game devolves into a technical execution contest I’m going to stay out.

EDIT: got it, it's a tech fest execution game, cool. I guess I'm just not going to play any more. Like every other casual player who can't be bothered to queue up or hang out on this sub. Just the hardcore vet types who like grinding practice mode. Please stop telling people the game is accessible and new player friendly. Thanks for the replies, may you all succeed at your combos.

I feel that nothing breaks this guy, when I try to get away he fucking flys and can’t do anything

This is the most autopilot character I’ve been playing and it’s even more annoying than Azula to me

And it’s feel worse losing against him because that I can defeat him but really stressing trying to fight this guy

What tips do you have?

Like that, but twice!
And the second time, it wasn't even a combo, just a raw super.

Just a random thought since we're supposed to be getting a patch soon that streamlined nes combos and tutorials, even if most of the stuff we got/will be getting is still focused on the pvp scene.

Single player is not a big priority for fighters naturally, but as many people have said before that's one thing that dilutes the appeal to a broader audience: most people coming in can't get into the mindset of paying for a game just to queue ranked in short spurts and gradually get better. There is just such a huge disconnect between the player that finishes story mode, and gently getting that player from there to the ranked mindset, like a skittish baby deer.

Do we have anything confirmed for Avatar and if not, what would be your wishlist? I just found out for example, that 2XKO's Path of Champions mode is apparently pretty popular.

I played some great matches, got knocked out, watched some great matches, it was a good time. Over 300 of us showed up for this one, so many different characters and play styles were showcased, it was just wonderful as far as online tourneys go. Apparently they're having another one next week, hope to see even more of us there!

I bought the game on steam. I’ve quadruple checked that I bought and installed the deluxe version of the game which comes with the DLC. I don’t have any of the golden skins. I’d like to figure this out before the new characters start dropping and I don’t have access to what I paid for
