Hey guys Dr.84 here and I was just wondering what are some things that beginners like myself can do to improve their runs any tips/tricks like what combos to practice would be appreciated?

I'm also interested on starting. Is there somewhere to learn an optimal route including the inputs for combo strings and different capsule build options?

From what I have learned in just the last couple of days it's just a matter of canceling charge attacks so you can continue the combo with said Character. I personally change my button mapping to accommodate this. I have guard set to Circle and Ki blast set to X currently and I am using a claw style grip to perform the cancels(subject to change with more experimentation). Of course the button mapping is a matter of preference although I would say start with learning how to cancel with a character to your liking and try to figure out what you can string together. It's very much like practicing combos in a traditional fighting game expert I think Budokai is more lenient with the timing of stringing things together.
