Hello =) Ryuko here. Just wanted to talk about strategy for a bit.
I was wondering if this makes any sense to you concerning fighting games, like mugen:

eople who excel at damaging their enemies with energy blasts are best at fighting from afar. On the other hand, people who excel at using melee combos, throws, and plain brute force to damage enemies are best at fighting up close.

As a ranged-combat guru, you must pool you efforts into keeping the opponent from closing in on you, which close range fighter need to do to get to you. This means the long range guru must fight defensively and react to advances. Hopefully, you have an attack that tracks an opponent or an attack that has a wide arc to prevent jump-overs. Also, is you get into a fireball war, it would be best to wait to see what the opponent will do when he gets a bar of super energy. The opponent might leave him or herself open to punishment. If you go about it right, damage won't be an issue. just make sure you are wearing the opponent down. It will be difficult to stop you.

The close combat fighter, on the other hand, must try to keep the battle close because they, most likely, suffer from a serious lack of strong long-range attacks. (Bosses notwithstanding) once you get in, do as much damage as you can. It would be best if you stunned the opponent before starting a combo. Also, mix it up to keep your opponent guessing. After you learn to keep the pressure up, you'll find that it only takes a handful of chained assaults to knock out even the strongest opponent."

Am I missing Anything? Because I want to post a guide to playing a fighting guide for friends that want to get into fighting games, but only have a PC.

Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Strategy - don't get fucking hit. That's right, turtle style, keep away, hit and run

Mugen - Dont bother with that game. Totally unbalanced because of so many characters.

Official Fighting Games - Anything goes. Seriously. Just have nerves of steel.

I've been to Fighting Game Tournaments (No not major ones like Evolution) and about anything goes in these tournaments. You just gotta know who you're using and be a god damn bitch to your opponent.

Then there's all-round ass-kickers who is just as deadly in close range as they are in long range.

Well, when playing as Kenshiro, I got trouble fighting Broli in the final battle. It makes me laugh but yet he is too strong to be defeated by Kenshiro, Ciel, Ky, Ubu, Ella or Kuando.

Man, that is both an awesome and annoying style. Which, in the current context, is a double awesome.
