Failures in Training

I enjoy fighting games, but I am aboustley the worst player. Im just naturally terrible at fighting games. I get suckered into the roster of awesome characters thinking, "hey, it might actually work out this time." Never does though.

Training mode is pretty much off limits to me. Ideally, its supposed to help learn the fighting mechanics, but man its always so mundane and tedious. Sifting through pages of arrows and timed button presses is not my thing. Probably feeds into why I'm so terrible at fighting games. Me vs. CPU on normal. No point in me jumping online just to rage quit due to my inherit lack of skill. Still a fun and enjoyable genre, but I will never be good on a "competitive" level.
