Need Help with Elena, i'm new to Ultra Street Fighter IV

Guys, I’ve been playin’ as Elena but i think i’m doing something wrong…
Every buttom i press is a kick! The hell’s up with that?? Im playing with a xbox 360 controller on the 360… should i buy a Fight Stick?
PS: and how do you jump? none of the buttom make me jump because they are all kicks…
Plx Answer

I can’t tell if this is a troll…
