I honestly think that playing alot of different characters is better for getting your grasp of fighting games overall though, then eventually settling down on a main is best. Its all about fun in the end. | ||

I only bother saying that because I 100% sucked when trying to learn ryu at first and I hated it. Not knowing the right distances for fireballs and just getting jump combo'd all day made me super sadface. Different people learn different ways though. Some players I've met can play half the cast competently, and then there's someone I've met who I'm pretty sure has only ever picked Guile his entire life. Whatever keeps the game fun for you. Alternatively, if you really enjoy rock paper scissors instead of street fighter, you can always just play fuerte D: On September 28 2011 15:33 FakeSteve[TPR] wrote: this is backwards in AE, cammy is a footsie character now. ken has the shenanigans, cheap beggar's vortex stuff like sakura That made me sad realizing it was true. Infested blew me up a while back using ryu as a rushdown character, and it has me convinced that it's more effective played that way instead of the traditional fireball zoning route. | ||

I think I've settled on Ibuki unless there's some reason not to. I don't have the gamepad thing yet but I might get it soon. If your brand new to the game i suggest doing the trails and arcade mode just to get seated with the game and learn the inputs and when to use them. Alongside that training mode is really good to test out the bread and butter combos that people suggest. Then from their the xbox live is your oyster, you will be paired vs players your skill so just go for it! you will only get better by playing on-line. As for character choice, Ibuki is a nice starting character, however her move set is a little unquie and most of her moves have a very specific purpose, for either frame traps or unblockables, but any character is good to start! GLHF! | ||

I think I've settled on Ibuki unless there's some reason not to. I don't have the gamepad thing yet but I might get it soon. To help get started, here are some really good places to go: http://shoryuken.com/ The closest thing Street Fighter has to a TeamLiquid.net. Best site for in depth discussion as well as support for players of all skill levels (for beginners, check out the "Newbie Saikyo Dojo" in the forums). You can also check the character specific forums for some good discussion on each character (Matchups, Strategies, Combos, etc). Check out "Tournaments and Events" for streams for the tons of tournaments you can check out. http://www.eventhubs.com/ Another good site for fighting games. Shoryuken.com (SRK) has better discussion but eventhubs is better at posting news promptly an have some pretty useful articles to check out under SSF4 AE. http://www.youtube.com/user/VesperArcade Best Youtube channel for beginner tutorials imo. There's a lot to cover obviously but this guy does it well. http://ssf4tutorialvideos.blogspot.com/2011/07/street-fighter-4-tutorial-videos.html Once you're familiar with the basics, you can go here for more character specific video tutorials. Some of them are from Vanilla SF4 but many of the concepts still apply depending on the character. http://www.youtube.com/user/Ov3rheadGreg VoDs galore ^^ There are many good channels for SSF4 AE VoDs but this is one of the more notable ones currently. That's all that come to mind right now. I'll update this post if I remember any important ones. As for character choice, personally I am kinda iffy about Ibuki as a starting character. I just think she's one of the more advanced characters in the game and you may have more difficulty with her than with most characters (as far as learning the game fundamentals I mean). That being said, if you really enjoy the character and plan on sticking to her, by all means do so. No sense in playing a character you enjoy less  . | ||

Some of the better beginner characters in my opinion, in no order: Ryu, Ken, Chun-li, Guile, Balrog (Boxer), Bison (Dictator), Sagat, & Fei Long. I'm not very sure, but I would think Yun and Akuma also make good beginner characters. | ||

True, any character in the game can be used to learn how to play the game with that specific character. However, the characters I listed above are better characters to have a more general understanding of the game rather than a character specific perspective. Although both are very important in Street Fighter, I believe the former to be more important for a beginner to learn. For example, if a beginner were to choose Dhalsim, he will be able to learn a lot of the tactics and tools that make the character that is Dhalsim. But the problem he faces is that many of Dhalsim's tools are very specific to Dhalsim himself and maybe a couple other characters. The same can be said for characters such as Gen, Oni, Juri, Vega and so on. On the other hand, if a beginner were to choose a character such as Ryu, learn the fundamentals of Ryu's game, he has more that can translate over to many characters in the cast. Ryu's Haduken is one of the better and most basic fireballs in the game. His Shoryuken is a staple antiair special and reversal. His list of normal moves are among the most basic in the game. Characters such as Chun-li and Ken can teach beginners the importance of footsies and poking. Guile and Balrog are very simple charge characters with excellent normals that help get beginners into the habit of blocking as well. | ||
