is sparring better than dojo? give me your opinion

i dont like practice modes or dojo or what ever any fighting games like to call it i can see the appeal its a awesome feature but id rather learn through repeated whoopings by more experienced players and then talk to them post fight and ask what i did wrong but thats just me who do you super soldier players stand on this?

 

Just do both, you don't even need to be in the dojo that long anyways.

 

but he just stands there? is there a way to make him full on fight me?

 

Practice ur basis and combo in dojo once u get it, try to use it in sparring matches

 

You can set the cpu to different levels of fighting power and you can even take a step further and tweak certain options like how well he stagger recovers, throw escapes etc. You can also record the dummy to do certain actions and practice a scenario. Like Maki said, practice your combos and tech in the dojo then apply it against people.

 

ty ty nice to know he wont just stand there dumb founded
side note i always use kage as the dojo dummy because lolz

 

Don't forget about weight classes in the game, it's nice to practice combos on different characters since some combos may not work on heavyweights or certain characters, and you can maximize damage against light weights.

 

so im in the dojo trying to get http://virtuafighter.com/commands/list?ver=5fsa&chara=wolf under my belt and i did heavy middle kick into low grab followed by dash forward back grab <3 so awesome i did it on accident i was auto piloting to check for grabs

 

I just picked up the game, so I'm really enjoying using Dojo mode to practice Fuzzy Guard, or to get better at anticipating and blocking simple strings.

 

welcome im relatively new to vf and just fighting games in general your psn right (psn forum) want to spar?

 

Sometime, maybe. Between work and studying for the CPA exam, I typically don't have much more than an hour at most per week, but if I find myself with free time and I'm looking to spar, I'll let you know.

 

Although It looks awesome none of that stuff is guaranteed. Heavy middle kick is one of your combo starters.

 

heavy middle kick makes the enemy slunk down unless blocked i dont understand how you can combo without low grab?

 

Check the frames. You're like plus 1000000 after it. You can launch with 33p+k for like 90 damage

 

on block? or hit because from what i saw you have like 1 second to hit before they are on the ground and out of hitbox zone

 

When their slunked over they are crumpled, you can do whatever the hell you want for a good amount of time BUT in FS people can escape low throws, even when crumpled It's not worth the risk despite looking cool. So just do after to get a combo going.

use this http://virtuafighter.com/combos/list?ver=5fsa&chara=wolf

Refer to section and it tells you every possible combo you can do for that move

 

thanks icky i had no idea you could hit them when they were onthe ground

 

Dont hit them on the ground , combos from 3kg look like this

 

oooh ok so you use upper diagonal r1to frame him mid air and combo... you literally just cheesed the shit outta that guy lol you reset his damage frame with a higher up frameset where you can do more hits id feel so bad about that

 

Someone may have already said this but & basically think that dojo mode with another person is the best thing someone can do for thing fundamentals and fora fast route to leveling up.it's a great way to test ways of playing and doing that under pressure. Keep in mind, this all depends on you and the partner legitimately playing.
