Should I turn the difficulty down for now until I get better. Im getting my ass beat at only the level after the suv. The damn suv is even beasting me.

If you are playing on the default difficulty then leave it as is.I'd even reccomend going into training mode and just goofing around.I have learned some thing's that I have never known before just by Training tonight.

There are also alot of Youtube video's of some of the best players in action.Me personally I don't like trying to emulate other people's style because it doesn't work for me,but maybe it will work for you.Just go to Youtube and type Daigo or Street Fighter third strike in the search bar and look at some of the video's,and try to take whatever you can from the video's.

Fighting against the CPU is completely different than fighting against people. Priority > everything when fighting the CPU. You can spam the same crap over and over, as long as you have priority, you'll come out on top. GL :tup:

eiSH is right about the CPU being completely different than people. If you play with that in mind it won't mess with you too much, but do realize the practice against the computer will only help your execution and reflexes.

I'd say jumpstart your learning curve by going for top difficulty. You may get frustrated early on but you'll learn the basics so much quicker than if you ease your way in on the difficulty settings. Don't sweat it when you lose, just think as to why you did lose and go from there.

You're right in coming here for questions to get better. Also check out the Strategy portion of 3S from the SRK index for lots of information. And as Biolink mentioned, check out Youtube or other sites for videos. Also take his advice when he says "try to take whatever you can from the video's." Really try not to copy everything verbatim, just apply some tricks/tools to your style of play and it'll benefit you a lot more.

What I usually do is go through all of the difficulties with every character... usually as I put the difficulties higher I just quit when I get to Gill, he is pathetically hard, the only person I was able to beat it with on all difficulties so far was Ken.

I find the best way to practice combos, techniques, and find your own strategy or style would be to play on the lowest difficulty level, seeing as how the computer will counter every single thing that you throw at it, nerfing nearly all of your moves, forcing you to be cheap and use the same moves over and over again which would never work versus real human opponents. At least at the lowest difficulty you have some sort of opposition that is still a mild challenge, and you're not being forced into using the same things... allowing you to find your strengths and weaknesses in the game.

more practise & Gill will be a "Piece of Cake for You" :)
