Thanks man, appreciate that someone took the time to reply! Besides counterhit combos those are the things I started to work on more and more. I just wanted to see if there was anything particularly important I was missing out on in the start, since I can only guess what the biggest priorities are as I'm still new to the game. I think I've spent far too much time on HCL 6FRC6 for example, rather than learning which gatlings to use against different characters and distances, her options on block, how her neutral game works, her corner dive combos against each of the cast etc., but didn't immediately realize that those things (probably?) matter more.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the great content on here, learning a ton! I recently decided to finally pick up Guilty Gear as my main game instead of going back to AE all the time despite having wanted to pick up GG for years now and decided very quickly that I-No was my girl. I've been messing around with her for about a week now and slowly getting more consistent with 5H HCL 6FRC6 etc. (still horrendous at 5K, too fast for me!), but wondering what else I should focus on in the beginning? Right now I'm just trying to learn (relatively) universal combos into knockdowns from as many situations as possible and following up with note into oki. I try to dissect match videos, but without being familiar with the game it's pretty hard for me to really pinpoint exactly what the absolute necessities are and what are just good tools / situational tricks to worry about when I have the basics down. As far as the general game mechanics go, I already found Klaiges videos on YouTube to be extremely helpful and I'm watching those over and over on top of the wiki, so I'm set as far as that goes. Since I unfortunately have no community at all here, training mode and YouTube videos is where it's at for now until I can convince more people to get into the game. Any tips would really be appreciated, and I hope I don't come across as lazy for it. I'm trying to soak up everything that's already written around here. I just know how much time I could've saved myself if I could go back and give myself some quick pointers with SF4 at the beginning, and I figured it'd be better to get a general sense of what my goals should be than start asking very specific stuff that might not even be relevant for me yet. Much like building a F1 car and only then realizing you don't have any wheels! Cheers :D
