You should get familiar with Shoryuken and EventHubs, two websites filled with wikis, videos and message boards that let you trade tactics with fellow players. I can't stress this enough: Researching strategies and watching other people play is just as integral to mastering Street Fighter as is playing the game itself. If you try and play the whole cast, you might find yourself forgetting how to throw a fireball. If you do, performing the right moves at the right time will eventually become instinctual. This is why it's hugely beneficial to dedicate yourself to one or two characters at first.
'Using the proper attack at the proper range is what Street Fighter is all about.' 'Special moves are important, but you'll win more games if you have a greater understanding of how far your character's attacks reach and how fast they come out,' said Peter 'Combofiend' Rosas, Street Fighter V's associate producer and a well-known tournament vet. Before you even attempt to do the flashy stuff, you'll need to get comfortable with all of your fighter's basic punches and kicks in order to determine how those attacks would be useful in battle. Training mode is also where you'll form an intimate connection with your character.
