...to get anywhere. I play like a total fool.

Don't say that, you're an awesome player. You shouldn't give up on yourself like that. You made 2 amazing guides for characters otherwise not explored enough and you (imo) are 1 of the nicest people on FSD. You're not hopeless, you're great at DOA. If anything, I should look to you for guidance.

From what I've read of your stuff on here you seem to know your stuff. No one is perfect and improving is a process, if you can see your weaknesses that just means you're closer to improving.

What level are you trying to get to?

I ran into this problem with myself numerous times when I was trying to at least get a decent level on KOF. The European players and the guys on GGPO have been keeping me honest for the most. Just stay motivated. Players will win some and they lose some. Taking a break can also help as well. Upon doing so, you can watch your own replays so that you can "theory fight" a bit more as you go to work (or school).

Then you can turn the game and go on training mode again to figure out what needs to be done based on your theory fighting and what you've saw from your own replays.
