Please do yourself a favour and do =not= play online until you're really good. It's a frustrating experience, to say the least. The online players will combo your ass so much you just can't do anything to defend yourself!

I completely disagree. There is no substitute for playing actual opponents. Playing against people is completely different than playing against the CPU.

You need to lose your fear of losing as quickly as possible to enjoy fighting games. (Also you won’t lose as much as you think.)

Tekken in particular you really just need a couple of core strings and learn to block.
