Justin Wong Shares More Tips on Becoming a Great Fighter

Video game fighting expert Justin Wong must be looking for some stronger competition. In the last few weeks, he has been sharing his personal formula for success so that fans of Street Fighter IV and Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 can improve their skills.

In an earlier column, Wong touched on the importance of utilizing the training rooms to create the muscle memory needed for chaining combos together. His most recent article is a reminder to all the “training mode monsters” that they must also learn how to adapt to their environment.

“Not being able to land your combos against a moving target (Computer/Human opponent) is what a lot of players suffer from.

“The computer will stand, crouch, jump, spam an unsafe move and more, but this is beneficial for the player because you will be able to change up the type of combos due to the situation.”

Wong also suggested that you find players that are similar in talent whenever possible as well as a consistent sparring partner. He cites the problems with testing your abilities against tougher opponents.

“Obviously, the best type of training is playing against a human opponent because they are more strategic and skillful than the current CPU AI in fighting games, but there is a downfall to it too. If you play against a human opponent that is clearly out of your league, you will NOT learn anything.”

Luckily for this writer, Wong has not given the online world any advice on how to stop Chun Li from spamming lighting kick in MVC3. For those of you who prefer shooters over fighting games, Nightmare Mode’s own Patricia Hernandez has been sharing her tips for becoming the best Gears of War player on your block.
