I am new to fighting games with street fighter IV being the first fighting game I've ever seriously played.  I went into street fighter assuming that the community would be the same ass holes and scumbags that seem to blight halo and gears of war.  Those people who never seem to shut up, talking trash at every opportunity. 

However I was amazed at the sportsmanship and friendliness of the street fighter IV community.  I'm a scrub and as such I get my as handed to me 75% of the time.  However most of the time after I get my ass kicked my opponent sends me a message saying "gg keep up the practice"  or they will send me a message with tips on how to play.   I have only ever had one player drop during a match.  I must say Street Fighter IV has one of the best communities that I have ever been a part of.

Yeah, the community is pretty good. I'm only gotten bad messages a few times... I usually correct their grammar and that shuts them up.

Yeah I lost to a guys and he told me that I'm getting better etc.

How many threads did you make? I count 3 so far.

I deleted the ones that I attached to the wrong pages so only this one is still posted

I have to agree. All the SF veterans have been really helpful in bringing us newbies up to speed.

Can't say ive had many people message me on Xbox Live at all, neither for bad remarks or support, but there usually is a thumbs up smilie before and after every match to show sportsmanship.

It also seems not hitting after a KO (light punch, KO, then heavy punch at the end) is a good way to show sportsmanship by dashing or jumping back instead. In which what i do.
