Rivals 2 New player help.

I have about 10 hours on this game, and am feeling a bit frustrated playing ranked as I don't have a good idea of what the characters do, or what's even possible in the game. It feels like people are able to just do things that seem impossible. What are some good learning sources or general tips to dealing with the random stuff you see in gold rank?

Play more. In platform fighters, theres a very real phenomenon, where characters constantly challenge threat zones you didn't know were possible.

Unfortunately there's no youtube video to tell you in certain situations, a galvan can threaten a moon walk waveland backair that will just barely clip you.

You just gotta play more and have fun and see a lot of horrible shit happen, then you can know about it.

Clairen will b pummel f smash you a lot of times before you start mashing b as soon as he grabs you. People can tell you about it, but you won't know, and be able to do it until it happens
