I’ve been going through the paces of a beginner learning the fundamentals with ryu but was wondering if at my skill level whether it’s even an option to change to my two favourite characters DeeJay and Cammy.
If you find those characters more fun than Ryu, then you should play those characters.
You can always choose the character you want. DeeJay and Cammy aren’t actually too gimmicky in my opinion so you can still learn fundamentals with them.
