I certainly can't remember every detail, but I know that my friends remind me of specific situations, because they are watching the match while I am playing the match...

And why is that? It's because when you are playing a match, everyone tends to autopilot specific sequences, which can be good or bad, based on the player you are going against — but in the end its not something to be proud of.

Now this part isn't very easy, because if you are usually an defensive player, than most of the time your offense is not amazing. Same goes with having a strong offense, but that doesn't mean you should ignore having a good defense as well.

In this chapter, I will be explaining the benefits of having different styles and why it will help you win in certain scenarios/match ups.

This chapter will focus on how to distinguish that YOU are being downloaded, and once you do realize that you are being downloaded, how to interrupt the download, and continue on playing YOUR game.

Many people do not even realize that the download has already begun. Here is a common one that happens a lot but people do not realize it.

It's to give you guys some information maybe that you need to win or some motivation to pick up a new character.

And please remember this is my opinion on all these characters and anyone can disagree or agree.

I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B-, C+ C, C- and D with S+ being highest and D being lowest.

I will be providing which gem set should be best with the characters. There are only 5 tournament default gems and will be numbering them from 1-5.

Example: 1 is the three power gems and 2 is the three defense power gems and etc. We will start with the Capcom Cast first. (Will not be doing Toro, Kuro, Megaman, and Pac-Man).

This chapter will talk about on what kind of things that you can do to figure out what type of opponent you will be playing against.

At a tournament not everyone you come across will be a top player, good player, average player or even a bad player. How can you determine what type of player is a "Johnny Doughnuts?" Now if you think about what the highest level of players can do, they usually have the following qualities.

In the partner section, the people listed there can be an assist that would be helpful or they can use the assist to help their game. For example: Wolverine loves Tatsu assist but Akuma loves Dr. Doom assist. You might see a lot of Doctor Dooms, Vergils in those sections, just a heads up. =p

I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B-, C+ C, C- and D with S+ being highest and D being lowest.

I'll give an overview of what their pros and cons are, and who would be a good partner if you need a secondary character.

I will have a grade system running from S+, S, S-, A+, A, A- B+, B, B- and C, with S+ being highest and C being lowest.

I played many high ranked players and they know their frame traps, setups, option selects and match ups. They would probably do very well in tournament.

Now, the downside of being an online warrior is that you will have bad habits and you will also be guessing a lot on wake up, jumping a lot or mashing an invincible move out all the time.

Here is a list of examples that you can see what I mean. There may be more players I might have forgotten but you will understand the concept.

MCZ|Daigo - Ryu, Yun (Secondary) WW|Infiltration - Akuma, Gouken (Secondary) EG|Justin Wong - Rufus, Adon (Secondary) AVM|Gamerbee - Adon, Yun (Secondary) BT|Dieminion - Guile, E. Honda (Secondary) LU|Alex Valle - Ryu, M. Bison (Secondary) WW|Ryan Hart - Sagat, Yun (Secondary) and many more

I think a lot of players have potential talent and they could possibly be the next top player, but they might have the jitters and choke in tournament. You think to yourself that wasn't me playing up there, I usually do a lot better when I am playing casuals in my boxers at home.

Here are some things you need to do to improve at the next tournament.

1. Have a video recording of all your matches, win and losses. 2. Study them and try to realize the faults in the matches. 3. Think about what you could have done better (a more damaging combo). 4. Practice against the technique that caused your loss. 5. Run it back the next tournament.

A lot of the times, the majority of people are big fighting games fans and would love to play multiple fighting titles well at tournaments. All too often, it takes too much time to absorb the fighting game knowledge from that game and apply it when it comes time to play in a tournament.

I will be giving some tips on how to approach a new game and how to learn it quickly.

Offense Characters: Ken, Makoto, Ibuki, Dudley, Seth, Dan, Sakura, Gen, Abel, C. Viper, Cammy, Guy, Hakan, Rufus, El Fuerte, Yun, Yang, Oni, Evil Ryu

Defense Characters: E. Honda, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Sagat, Dee Jay, Guile, Blanka, Zangief, Vega, Balrog, T. Hawk, Rose

Balance Rush Characters: Ryu, Gouken, Akuma, Juri, M. Bison, Cody, Fei Long, Adon

It is really hard to find a team that fits your particular style in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. I want to break down how I feel a character should be played, by separating them into three categories; Rush Down, Runaway/Keep away and Safe Rush — the latter of which meaning they can do both rush down and runaway/keep away.

You can tell when you see someone just sit there and try to block a dangerous mixup in UMvC3. In my opinion, when you are playing a game like Marvel, I believe that you should always be moving with your character as fast as possible. Mobility is super important in Marvel, while in SSF4 AE v2012, sitting back and defending is far more important.

This is a very common situation for lots of players, but having love for the game or for your character will show a lot more signs of improvement than someone whose only interest is to win. If you look at the player DJ Huoshen on how he play and how he reacts to things. You can tell that he loves to play with the team he uses; Felicia/Skrull/Taskmaster. He loves this game and he takes the game as it is. He understands that the game is cheap and his characters have a high chance of losing but he makes it work and still comes out on top. Why? Because he loves to play the game. He doesn’t just care about winning. Winning is nice but staying true to your heart means a lot more and that’s where winning matters the most.

This obviously doesn’t mean that if you pick the character you like, you will win all your matches. There are broken things in every game that will just prevent your success. *Cough* Phoenix *Cough* but as long as you tried your best and your love in the game will be there, you will have a much more clearer outlook on things and what little things to improve on for your next match, tournament, and etc.

In order to see if you can play under pressure, you can do the following things.

Not being able to land your combos against a moving target (Computer/Human opponent) is what a lot of players suffer from.

There are ways to increase your percentage of being able to land your combos against moving targets or in high pressure situations. When I was growing up, I played against the computer every day. Even though the computer isn’t really challenging, it still gives you an opportunity to land combos in many types of situations and not just a non-movable dummy. The computer will stand, crouch, jump, spam an unsafe move and more, but this is beneficial for the player because you will be able to change up the type of combos due to the situation.

When I was growing up, I sat in the arcade (there was no access to these games for consoles at the time) for 5-6 hours every day during my summer vacation and practice my combos over and over. Practicing my combos over and over did 3 things for me.

• Figured out new combos/setups/mix-ups/frame traps/safe jumps/option selects/punishes.

• Learn more about the character.
