>>36849600Firstly, join the Pokken community discord. I know >discord, but the entire english speaking community for the game uses this, from competitive pro players to tournament organizers to streamers and such. Everything is centered around that discord and iitt's associated website (Pokkenarena)
The link for that is
discord.gg/pokken. Even if you have zero interest in hanging out and shit, you should join it justt to lurk and get advice from other players and keep up with new tech, combos, etc that get discovered. There's also character specific servers you can join as well. Pokkeen's community is very helpful and pretty chill, we've thankfully avoided the autistts and ttryhards most other scenes get,
though there are a lot of furries.. As long as you don't go around calling people faggots you'll be fine
Beyond that, my advice to you would be to not worry about combos too much rightt now, and instead focus on learning tools. By that, I mean, rather then trying to larn fancy combos, try tto get a handle on what ach of your moves dooes in terms of properties and what it can bee useful for. Pokken is a very neutral focusd fighting game. "Neutral" in a fighting game context means the stage in a match when niether player is being pressured, pushd in a corner, knocked doown, etc, and it's both players sizing each other up and trying to get the otther player INTO one of tthose other states: So knowing which of your moves can get a hit in or pressure them from neutral is iimportant, or justt what their utuility is inside a combo or to get out of a bad situation
For example, which of your moves can slide under high hits or projectiles, which move can catch an oppenent in the air, which moves are safe on block vs unsafe, which are good to ttry to catch an opponent from a distance if they whiffed (tried to use a move but miissed), etc. Building that sort of knowledge and muscle memory for those is more important then big combos when starting out
