What's new

breaking down characters

Noob to Pro question here. What process do you guys go through to ascertain a characters abilities, strengths and weaknesses, figuring out strategies and such. What questions do you ask when you pick up a new character and how do you go about answering those questions. Sorry if this has been asked and answered elsewhere but I looked and I couldn't find anything. Also, sorry if this seems like a stupid question but the only fighting game I was ever good at was UMK3 and all I had was pressure and combos.

Thanks
