Hello. I have owned SSF4 for about 2 weeks now. Even though i can’t play much since i am in the swedish army 5 days a week, i try to play as much as possible. I started out as Rose but i quickly gave her up since i was so new at the game (couldn’t even execute specials), then i picked up Juri and fell for her instantly. I have only played in training mode and in the easiest arcade mode. Still like her but i read somewhere that she is very hard and that she is deffinetly NOT for the new players. Should i switch main or just stick with her?
You’ll get stuck at some point with any character. You’ll find a combo that you have trouble at and plateau for a bit. Once you figure it out, you’ll get better. That’s how any character works.
I know you think Ryu is some overused overplayed character for scrubs. So did I when I started, and I also refused to learn him. Then I realized I wasn’t getting much better, and I started learning with Ryu.
I really do recommend you swallow your pride and start with Ryu, you can transition quickly if you learn him quickly, I only played him for about 2 weeks.
Its not about Ryu, its about his fundamentals. He teaches more than how to throw a hadoken and how to shoryuken randomly, that is, if you actually want to learn him. Go to challenge mode, learn his trials, links/combos, learn what cancels into what, and after that, you will find yourself picking up the game alot quicker than with other characters.
Or, you could ruff it your own way and learn the regular way. its your choice.
