Anyone in specific you can recommend
Sorry if I keep asking, this is very new for me and when everyone I see says "keep going and practice" is too broad for me to feel it helps
Well, I suggest playing your friends the AI may be too tough for newcomers and I'll try to work on that. You can use a virtual network like Radmin VPN to connect with in-game.
Also, experiment with all the characters to find someone to fit your playstyle. I tried to design several archetypes so hopefully one will fit.
If that lets you find somebody you like you can go to training and try out their moves and see what they are about.
