I'm really in love with how BBCTB handles its training mode/combo challenges.

So I've been playing a lot of BBCTB recently and right now I'm just on a mission to clear all the combo challenges as a way to sort of get a feel of all the characters. And I'll say upfront I'm bad a fighting games. I just don't have the intuition that some people have where they can just figure shit out.

Which is why I really love how they handle their combo challenges. Having the virtual stick on screen to show inputs as well as being able to slow down demonstrations so I can watch the CPU do the inputs has really helped me figure out small details of why combos weren't working for me. More fighting games should do this kind of stuff because its extremely helpful in figuring out the finer details of a combo. Do any other games actually do this kind of level of break down?

the fuck is BBCTB?

Central fiction already let you see the cpu inputs and virtual stick when watching a trial demonstration if I'm not mistaken
I think gg Rev 2 as well

LOL I thought reading the OP would help me figure that out as well... but no. Like, no character names, nothing!

I think most ArcSys games show the inputs/virtual stick but I've never seen the option to slow down the demonstration before.

Tekken and MK11 show demonstrations with a sound that plays for each button press, which helps to understand the timing.

They've been doing it since (I think) ggxrd. It's really helpful and you even turn it on during training mode.

Yeah you can start the demonstration with the L3 Click and then if you click L3 again with the stick tilted downwards it slows it down to like half-speed so you can really watch the inputs on the replay.

Guilty Gear Rev 2 and BlazBlue Central Fiction also both have this feature.

blazblue also used beeps for each button press so you could hear the rythm

Virtual stick's been there for a while, but I hadn't heard of the ability to slow things down until BBTAG. That's cool.

A feature I would love is to pause the game frame by frame while being able to enter inputs into the command buffer. Smash Ultimate kinda has that with the training pause menu where you can advance the game to the next frame. Would make exploring and figuring out stuff so much easier. Like a TAS run tool.

That's pretty cool and it makes me wanna try fighting games again (I REALLY suck at them).
