New to the scene.

I’ve been debating whether or not I should buy AE and start getting into Street Fighter finally. HUGE fan of the game and I’ve been a part of the MK community since MK9 came out and want to be a part of the FGC in general. I was wondering what are some good starter tips or even starter characters to get the basics of the game down? Could really use the help. Thanks!

Learn to block and tech throws. Learn how to play footsies. Practice bread and butter combos, especially if you character can ultra off a reversal. Learn safe jumps. Learn how to play the throw/frame trap game. Learn how to fireball trap. Learn when you can get away with uppercutting and when you can’t.

Ryu is a great starting character because he can teach you all of these.

Get out while you still can.
