FAQ: What Do You Recommend For Someone New To BBTAG To Get Better? 

in my experience what i recommend is: -Try every character. -Once you get a team, stick to them. -Don't leave them, even low tiers can win tourneys. -If you change your team, you'll change your play style. -Learn and master one combo, you don't need to try another during a match. -Train hard, play smart.

My mini guide to instantly improving at cross tag 1. Stop learning combos before developing strats to open people up/neutral in general. Practice your anti-airs, learn the range of your normals, figure out how to use your assists to make openings or at least keep pressure going if blocked. I fight so many people who just run up to me and get whooped. Stop doing it. 2. UNDERSTAND TURNS. If you've been knocked down understand that IT IS NOT YOUR TURN TO PUSH BUTTONS. You have a few options, block, throw tech if you fight someone who likes to throw after a knockdown (I do) or jump back/air block but don't do this against grapplers. If your happy to spend a bar, push block on wake up and you're safe/back at neutral. You can even throw a projectile after as more often then not they'll whiff a normal too. Lastly you can DP in a pinch but if you do it too much expect to lose 50% or more as it will get punished. Edit: Also if you're on the offense and you score a knockdown, practice hitting people the moment they wake up (feet land on the floor after the little flip). Good players will block and that's fine but you'll destroy people who don't understand turns for this. If they keep blocking on wake up, practice timing a throw on wake up and learn a decent follow up. I play Linne, someone jumps at me, I catch them with my 5B and go into a basic combo. I then throw on wake up and get another combo, maybe finish it with a super. BOOM, 80% of their life gone in two small sequences. 3. If you play online, sacrifice damage. Yes that leet combo you worked on may be awesome but because of peoples connections it's better to lose 200 damage by using an easier combo then lose 800+ by dropping the hard frame link ones. I never drop a combo offline but no matter how good I am, online it happens. 4. STOP RAW TAGGING. Do it in a combo (Push D after calling in your assist, practice it), or get a knockdown via a sweep or certain projectile and then tag. If you character is under pressure, your blocking and you need to get them out, just push block and then instantly tag. It's not completely safe but you won't eat a giant combo this way maybe a projectile at worst. TLDR: Master the basics before mastering the cool shit.

A couple major points: Keep Calm and Save your replays. This will help you at any level. By saving your replays, you and other players can analyze the matches you have, and this is helpful for avoiding and adapting your playstyles in the future. Keeping calm allows you to think on your toes and handle frustrating situations. An example, a few days ago, I was fighting a player in Dbfz who I was horribly outmatched against, but i intended to find ways around his defense and start my offense. But as the matches progressed I felt myself getting impatient, antsy and frustrated with kid buu and proceeded to play a bit more recklessly, which while it payed off in some aspects, failed in the long run. At the time I was beyond pissed and frustrated, however, going back over that video in a calmer state and mindset, I saw every wrong move I made and I saw all the gaps and openings I didnt see while playing before due to my frustrated and exasperated state of being at the time. Biggest tip is getting used to losing, try to learn something about your own and your opponent’s playstyles every match. It could take ten, it could take 100 matches, but as long as you are learning and applying what you have learned, you’ll see yourself improve in due time.

Always DP

I think it would be cool to make a Do and don'ts type of video, like How you would approach a Carmine or Nu and characters that most ppl in entry-level have a hard time with.

I would just like to say thanks Koefficient! I was very glad to find your channel, especially since I think you make great BB content!

My answer to anyone who wanna be good in Fighting games in gral. Don´t be afraid of the training mode, don´t see it as a humiliating place bc "nothing" is happenig. The training mode is your best friend to get better at Fighting games

Got this game a few days ago, playing around with Yu and Es. I'm still a dirty masher but I've managed to win a few games! Thanks for the coverage on this game!

Thanks for the vid. I've been playing since launch (not new) but 'get better' got my attention. Yeah, been using the BBCTB Discord, including character ones, Tactics, YT vids, including people using my mains. Replay reviews too & training. Can only play weekends unfortunately. Maining Haku/Wald. Dropped to dark green square. Like other games, I lose vs better players and win those I'm better than. The old catch-22.

THANK YOU!.... I'm a Bbtag newbie for about....2 - 3 weeks. I've been maining the "low tiers" Noel and Makoto

Timing is impeccable koe, got this game about a day ago and im tired of having to play Waldstein to win online matches. I want to chase the squirrel up a tree for once

I think that learning the momentum in this game is one of the most important things. I still have a hard time knowing when I can squeeze in a counter attack or reversal, especially since I play Waldstein which is a slower character.

I can dig Ruby wearing glasses

"go down the hall where dragon ball is" roflmfao

I just want to get the a PS4 and buy the game DLC is later problem

Must be nice I look on RU-vid can’t find anything but combos videos for the characters I main (Kanj)(Azrael) I cant find any good info

HYDEgaming?

Save your replays, especially losses. Helps to look back and see what you did right or wrong, and how to improve on your mistakes.

I don't like waifus, I'm in it to style all over my opponent corpses with swagger Hazama.

Never once did I know I wanted Glasses Ruby(and I don't even like Ruby much).

I'm not into e-ports, I'm into ORRAORRAORRA action, FIYAH and bros.

I watched a youtube channel called Meno. It has some super basic combos for characters

Honestly, having come from DBFZ and Street Fighter i'm finding it really hard to get the "flow" of this game. I'm not used to full screen lows and normals that are fast (looking at you Blake) and when i have frame advantage. I want to get good at this game, but i will probably need to actually look at frame data to "get it".

So... how do you hard-counter Tager?

Soooo, BB Chronophantasma was the very first fighting game I enjoyed and therefore played more than a few days (actually played BBCP and BBCF every day for like 3-4 months just because of how awesome it felt) and I ended up playing a lot of Ragna and Terumi (rip best snek boi), I never got any good at netplay but still had quite alot of fun because I felt like I was at least a bit competent at that game. Soo is it weird that I find BBTAG, which is the most simplified game of the series to be the one I suck the most ass at? I really can't seem to be doing any good at it or progressing whatsoever, just can't really adapt to the tag mechanics... Anyways sorry for the wall of text and I just wanna ask if there are any tips for changing my mindset on how to play this game other than just take the loss as an opportunity to learn, thnx. P.S. will take Koe's advice to mind tho, thank you for this video man!

theirs e sports money man give it a sec for EVO if ya want that big boy money .dont tell me ive been wasting my time man. hahahaha jk But ligit im in it for the pro but more importantly besides le money the most important for me is . is it fun and yes , yes it is.

I want to recommend BBtag to my friends who are mostly new to fighting games. They're somewhat scared of fighting games... It's pretty hard to get them to try this game. Any suggestions?

I really try to get "better" in this game as I really do like this game but...never works. Never works out for me in any 2d fighting game. Doesn't help that I can't stand this game's online "lobby" system. I just want to fight, not socialize in a hub as chibi characters to get a fight started...This is by far my favorite 2d fighter but it still feels like this will be a "hop on every week or 2 to do some Vs AI" scenario.

its the neutral game i'm having a problem whit i know big cmbos i know how to do what problem is people adapt to my playstyle realy fast i thry mixing it up but the only way to win 2-3 sets is fro me to learn 6 characters = 3 teams so the other person cant counter me the next game -___-

Does anyone know how to dp into active switch?

Never drop a combo lol to get better

I get mad only at times proablbly makes me a bad player

If your in it for the Esports money I suggest you go down the hall where Dragonball is. Lmao

Just do the Tactics mode.

Not spam Autos and Dp. If you said this already in the video. IDC.

I want to do good with orie but My dp is *horrible*

I don't need money, i need more waifus

I feel like anyone who plays games can play bbctb! Unless you spam attacks.. If you spam attacks *I hate you with a burning passion*

i would recommend just go get your money back and play a real fighting game
