Since youre just starting out, you should just be getting comfortable with your character at this point and learning the system. headbutt and buttslam will pretty much get you though a couple ranks at this level. Try to build some good muscle memory/habits like anti airing and not mashing drive impact. A good button to press in neutral is stand medium punch

If youre looking for specific advice to you, you could post replays or ask questions

Sorry for the late reply but how would you do the buttslam i have looked at his moveset but not seeingthe buttslam move using modern controls until i can get a arcade stick

And here is one of my replays the code is XLJEQUPVP

the actual name of the move I think is sumo smash. It wasn't in the move list for modern for some reason but you can still do it by doing the classic input. Basically hold down for 40 frames (2/3rds of a second) and then press up+ any normal button (light/medium/heavy)

Ok I watched that replay and a couple others. The first thing that im noticing is that we aren't blocking. Dont be afraid to just hold down back and see what your opponent is doing. Also when you are actively getting hit or being pressured, you are mashing so your moves keep getting interrupted (counter hit). Just block it out until you are safe

theres some other things like doing really unsafe moves like full screen tatsu with Ryu. Also doing special moves when your opponent is knocked down which is letting them punish you when they get up

I sent you a friend request in game. If youd like, send me a message next time you get on and we can go over a few basics. If not, just generally taking more time in a match to get your bearings and reacting to what is going on instead of committing to something no matter what your opponent is doing
