I remember back in 5 people used to have issues with Akira's Knee and Jacky's FSK lol. Good times. Tbh, the inputs for DOA aren't as complex as say KOF but there are some complicated ones of course like Hayate's Raijin. Not much that can be done but just keep practicing till it becomes muscle memory. Do the moves in training mode, then practice it on a CPU, then go online.

Try a rhythm drill when executing combo strings.

Once you get the rhythm of said combo string, the rest of the muscle memory will come to you organically in real time.

My advice is to watch tournaments, those can teach you the combos that matter to someone else's game. Sometimes I go to training and say oh okay I can see why that person liked doing that, but with DOA6 combos are easily interrupted and this rule has been going in my favor since I would rather grab someone. As I continue to play Tina I find myself as someone who takes something away from my opponent.

I'd say that a little bit of a practice before playing vs ppl can help out a bit at first but a ton after a while, since you don't need to think on how to perform some moves or which combo/juggle you have to do on the opponent in a match since muscle memory takes care of that issue which leads to you being able to focus a lot more on your game vs someone instead of having to pay attention to those also.

Oh yeah and playing a decent amount of games is also quite important, since you're putting all of that training into practice while also learning new things during your matches.

I think they mean it's easy compared to most FG's
