Hello people of Shoryuken,
Just as the title says, I’m a new player to the fighting game community. I just recently started playing USF4 seeing that it was one of the few fighting games available for me on PC and one of the few games that I like watching. The main reason why I made an account here at Shoryuken is because I’m hoping the people here can help me learn the basic fundamentals of a fighting game, and help me train on the game as well as the character I’m currently trying to learn on USF4 (Ibuki). The people I talk to in person about Street Fighter has told me in the past that Ibuki is too hard to learn for someone new and I should stick to someone like Ryu, but I’m determined to try and learn this charater.
Why Ibuki? Mostly because I like how she’s a ninja and that she’s described as a fast and agile character. When it comes to video games or small beat em up fighting games like Lost Saga or MMOs, I’ve always enjoyed playing fast characters. Everytime I watch youtubers or my friends play Street Fighter, they always seem to get heat up when playing against Ibuki because she was “too hard to fight against”. I want to learn a character that’s difficult to learn, and is rewarding when played correctly.
There isn’t much to say about myself, but I do hope to make some friends here on Shoryuken! If there’s anyone here that’s willing to help me learn the basic fundamentals of a fighting game as well as helping me learn Ibuki, I’ll gladly welcome your help. I’m open to any methods of teaching as well as communication (PM through Shoryuken, skype, etc, or voice chat) Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction to this site and fighting games!
(Just a reminder that I only own Street Fighter on PC, I also play with a xbox controller)
