Street Fighter 4 Help

So guys, I just bought Street Fighter 4 and I've had it for a little over 1 week. I try and practice combos and do training mode and arcade battles, but I can't even beat Very Easy. I don't know how or what I can do to improve at all. I do have Soul Calibur and MK so I know how to play fighting games, just not this one I guessL. I also don't want to spend $80 on an arcade controller for SF4 so any tips or help would be highly appreciated. Also, I apologize if there was another thread like this one poster earlier...

THANKS

I feel your pain - I too am currently getting used to getting creamed on Medium and above at the moment...(!) ha ha. Mainly by Sagat - god damn, he kicks my backside every time after my 1 round win... :( lol

I'm still plugging away on Training mode though, I'm sure I'll get there. I know this is the 360 forum, but I bought the PS3 version, so I think my d-pad is a little easier to use with the game. I tried my 360 d-pad on Soul Calibur and hated it, so was sure to get SF IV for my PS3 instead.

Like others have said though - keep plugging away in training and you'll improve. The analogue sticks should be just fine if the d-pad is horrible for you...

thanks for the tip guys btw im trying to do akumas skill set but i can't seem to grasp how to land a hard punch after doing a focus punch

hick kick your oponent on your way down before landing. Endgame_basic

off topic, and I know it's supposed to say High Kick, but Hick Kick sounds funny. Sounds like a special move for a new Beverly Hillbillies fighter or something lol
