I think playing the blazblue challenges has helped my execution a little bit. The best part of them is that the combos start off pretty long and aren't particularly simple. That way there is no point where you can do all these easy things and then be stuck on the harder things. Your only choice is the harder stuff.
Another good part is that you can view the combo being performed. I've found this to be most helpful. I was working on a combo for Ragna and I could do a QCB+B with the QCB+D follow-up just fine, but could never get the next input, B, to hit the dummy. After watching the combo done by the computer a few times, I realized that their dummy was being launched higher by the QCB+D than mine was. This would then allow enough frames for recovery to then be able to do the standing B. Once I realized this, I watched it a few more times to see what I was doing differently than was needed and saw that I needed to not do the QCB+B, QCB+D right away, but to wait just a fraction of a second longer before doing the QCB+D. This wait is hard for me to learn and it took a few tries, but then I started getting it more regularly. Soon after, I did the combo.
Doing that combo helped me in doing a combo with Cammy in SF4 as well. I've known that her BnB combo is cr.LK, cr.LP, cr.LK > QCF+HK. I knew that it was not a cancel between the lp and the lk, but a 2 frame link. Having to learn to wait a little with Ragna helped me figure out the link with Cammy a bit better. Links are tough. The margin for error on them is very small.
Unrelated: I want to code at home. I like doing nothing more though. Oh well.

So, how would you rate yourself competitively amongst amateurs? Or have you not really tried to delve into that too much?
In blazblue, really low. In street fighter, a little higher, but not much. I'm in a weird spot where I can know right from wrong, but I cannot perform the correct action. I know that somebody spamming sweep after sweep should have nothing on me, and yet my coworker beats me doing that pretty consistently.
