Why am I so bad at beat-em-ups? Played Lollipop Chainsaw, God Hand, and Viewtiful Joe, and couldn't get very far in any of them before ragequitting. My attacks seem to do no damage, whereas when I watch people play the games, they kill enemies in a few hits. I'm clearly doing something wrong. I get that beat-em-ups have multiple attack buttons, and I'm supposed to be performing combos, but I cannot for the life of me figure out when to use which attacks.

i remember enemies in lollipop chainsaw were spongy as hell, but you gotta be doing something wrong in viewtiful joe

try playing on easy mode. no shame in it.

honestly would have to see gameplay from you to see what you're doing wrong. but regardless. In God Hand, for damage, you can start off by doing the kick loop (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q3405pH_rHc) which basically only requires you to counter, launch or stun an enemy, have them up against a wall, then spam X > up dodge (right stick) > X > up dodge > … over and over again, until they're dead or escape the sequence somehow. IMO the main thing to learn isn't "what moves to use" but how to deal with each individual enemy type, how to crowd control enemies i.e. group them up together and hit as many of them as possible with a single attack, mainly via your kicks, sometimes after dividing and eliminating annoying ones first, and which targets to prioritize. A lot of God Hand's regular enemies mainly just ask you to pressure them with your jab combo into a guard or slow, counterable move then either using a guard crush or counter hit move (high side kick is a good one for counter hitting)
also with Viewtiful Joe, don't you just use the slowdown and spam your attack to do good damage?
