It would make it easier and more fun to teach new people the game and it doesn't seem too difficult to implement.

I am working with the other players to create a discord for training and very in depth explanations of moves and play styles. Please give us an in game button that links to our discord. We are here to train and retain your player base. Sincerely Rumble Kai Making mountains out of mole hills Est 2023

A full person in front of you like a mirror guide that does the moves at a slow enough speed to follow so that you can see exactly how to do them. If the pose has MORE THAN ONE PART, like the structures, then there would be little moving arrows that move around the hands to EMPHASIZE the importance of the rotation! If the pose only has ONE PART, like the modifiers, then it would just be still without an animation. Putting small text descriptions beside the figure like "palm up, fingers forwards" would also be good for clarity!

I've noticed that new players only get exposed to comboing by watching content or from friendly opponents. Would be good if there was a short tutorial for comboing like there is for new white belts learning the initial moves (maybe when they learn uppercut?). Would also be nice if the ghost hands move tutor supported comboing, like if the hands transitions from uppercut>punch like they do for structure starting position to end position. Not sure the best way to implement this given Rumble's physical menu interaction, but even just another move tutor page with a few common combos to get new players thinking about them would help prepare new players.

Any kind of body position feedback would be amazing for new users. At least put 3 lights in the training area, on a dummy or above my HUD health bar or wherever, that each light up on a green/yellow/red gradient every time I try to do a move. So if each body part is in absolutely perfect position, all three lights come up totally green. If my head is in suboptimal-but-acceptable position, the top light is yellower. If my left hand is rotated wrong, the bottom-left light is red. (Better yet, show the lights as little floating 3D body parts that follow my movement. And after I attempt a move, make all the colored body parts freeze in position against grey shadow-parts that show ideal positions. That way, I can look more carefully and see exactly what my form looks like)

I think that one of the biggest issues for Rumble currently, is the player count. Now, this is an issue that plagues 99 percent of VR games since there's not a huge demographic to begin with, and most VR players will be off playing Gorilla Tag or VRChat or any of the other popular games. I think that one of the main contributors to the playercount issue is the tutorial. Just by taking a quick look at the games reviews(As well as some messages in the discord from occasional new players), it's clear that the biggest hurdle in the game is learning the many nuanced details of simply performing any of the combat moves. This can partially just be written off as the game having a steep learning curve, and that's perfectly fine. It is not fine, however, if alot of people simply refund the game because they spent an hour in the tutorial and can't even cast disc; this is where it starts being the tutorial's fault and not the player's. To help combat this issue, it would be most helpful to add more details to the tutorial. At the moment, all you get is a pair of ghost hands that show you where you're supposed to put them to cast a move, and that's it. The game is essentially just telling you to figure it out yourself at that point, and most people end up just being taught by other players how to actually play the game. Instead of/in addition to the ghost hands, give some context as to what makes moves work and what doesn't. It's important to stress that the starting position of your hands, fluid movement of the arms, rotation of hands, etc are what really make the difference when you're trying to smash some rocks. I'm sure there are other ways to assist the newer players in learning without leaning on the existing playerbase, but that's just my thoughts on how the issue could be fixed and I'm surprised that nobody has brought this up yet.

Be able to customize and create a list of poses in whatever order you want and then when you do the first pose the pose machine will start showing the next pose in the list. I think it'd make learning combos like struppercut way easier.

You should be able to have an option to queue moves in the pose ghost to practice combos (etc. Straight kick) would automatically move to kick pose after doing straight.

the tutorial for straight and uppercut should be at the same height. (the one you hold near your (shoulder) so you don't have to learn to lower your hand to be able to do straight uppercut

wrist rotation clarity: in the training circle the ghost hand will show an arrow coming from the fist(from the palm of the hand). that would have been a big help, when i was starting out, since i had no idea that wrist rotation mattered. training Shiftstone: a Shiftstone which over laps all poses that are unlocked and follows the player even in the online match. it will solve me not knowing what i did wrong and hand flailing in matches since it will give good visual feedback, but the overlapping poses will get in the way if the player wants to see the opponent and structures. that will only be a problem if the player is used to making structures and wants to respond to the opponent attacks(maybe, testing is needed to be sure). and if the player is in the training circle it will auto-disable, also the arrows will only show in the training circle.
