I myself am 100ish hours into AC Odyssey on the Steam Deck, looking forward to getting stabby on some malakas!

I feel that, this is my first real fighting game and I SUCK! Thank fuck for modern controls.

Yeah, I tried classic controls for a bit, but my fingers just can't do these motions.

Dunno if there are any training modes, that could help with those (except the bog-standard training, where you just wail on a dummy). I mean something where you do one move, and it showed you if and when you did some input wrong, late, early, etc.

For now, I'll just unlock more styles and try them out, and maybe find something that speaks to me.

You can configure the dummy to do specific actions in the settings. It is actually fairly in depth! When learning a combo I usually set it to dummy mode then after I can repeat the inputs I move over to have it be a CPU. Only difference is unlimited HP and stamina.

[–] Poopfeast420@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I know, but the thing is I know nothing, so I want the CPU just standing there. Them blocking, jumping, attacking, whatever, is not really gonna help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong, when a fireball doesn't come out. The input history is a start, but even that really only shows obvious mistakes (for me, a complete beginner). That means I'd just have to spam the same thing over and over, until it works reasonably well.

Give me an overlay like with the Pizza mini-game, and tell me that I pressed down a few frames too late or something.

But like I said, I haven't checked out the menus at all, maybe there is something like that, a very basic move training.
