Key Messages:
- The outcome of a match (win or lose) is not as important as having fun, enjoying the game, and learning or improving. Useful tools for learning include watching videos/replays, searching FAQs/guides, using the training mode, and playing casual matches.
- Never give up, as practice leads to perfection, and every skilled player started as a beginner. When training, concentrate on specific objectives, such as reacting in a predetermined way under certain circumstances, and progress one step at a time.
- During a battle, think and plan ahead, always be prepared to change your actions to avoid predictability, and adapt your strategy based on the specific opponent you are facing.
Basic Notation:
- “X” refers to any attack button.
