Hello SRK I’m Pretty New Here (Have Been Browsing For A While But Decided To Start Posting Today) Ayway,I’ve Been Practicing With Alot Of Characters Every Day Mainly,Guile,Ken,Abel,Rufus,Makoto,And Dudley But I Was Thinking To Myself I Wanna Go To EVO In About 2 Years Or So Since I Have Enough Time To Practice A Few Hours A Day,Have The Dedication To Try And Learn A Combo For Hours At A Time,Am Not Easily Intimadated,And Am A Die Gard Fighting Game Fan.
But Then The First Problem Arose,I Don’t Have An Arcade Stick!I Know Arcade Sticks Aren’t Required But In Order To Be A Pro I’m Gonna Need One.So The Question Is Should I Get An Arcade Stick Or Fightpad,And If So Which One Do You Recomend?
Then My Second Came Into My Mind,How Long Is It Going To Take To Learn Charcters,Frame Counting,Hitboxes Etc. If There Are Any Tips You Can Give Me To Make Learning These Things Easier Or Faster Please Do So.
Then My Third And Biggest Problem Came Up,I Don’t Know Who To Use As My Main/Secondary. I Know You Probably Can’t Help Me Much With This But I Don’t Know What Kind Of Playstyle I Have, I Kinda Adapt To Who I’m Playing With But If I Had To Say Whats Most Similar To My Playstyle It Would Be Aggressive.When The Game First Came Out I Mained Deejay,And My Secondaries Were T.hawk And Fei Long. I Thought I Was The There Was With Them Until I Went Online Were I Got My Ass Handed To Me While Using Deejay And T.hawk. I Then Thought If I Sucked With Those 2 Characters I’ll Use Ken The Person I Mained From Sf2 WW Until Street Fighter Alpha 3,I Fared Better With Him Losing But Winning A Fair Share Of Matches But Soon The Same Thing Happened To Me As Earlier. So I Then Decided To Use Fei Long And Went On An Impressive To Me 5 Win Streak I Instantly Knew He Was Gonna Be My Main But Again I Was Wrong.I Then Decided To Come To SRK To Look At Tier Lists Thinking If I Cant Beat Them I’ll Join 'em I Then Started Practicing With Guile,Rufus,Abel,Sagat,Ryu,Ad All The Other Top Tier Fighters I Decided I’ll Go With Guile Since I Liked Him The Best But I’m Still Just Not Feeling Him,I Can’t Get Into His Groove.I Then Gave Up And Decided To Just Post This Ass Post To See If Somebody Could Help Me Pick Somebody.
So If SomeBody Could Help Me With These Problems It Would Be Greatly Appreciated.
