If you think you're too late now, it'll be no different when you play Super. It is fundamentally the same game, so most of the crap people know carries over into the next.

There's no such thing as "too late" for any of the SF games.  Just play with some friends, or other people who are new to the game, and learn together. "

Wow, this thread really exploded. I'm going to try to consolidate the tags of us noobies, and make a thread of sorts. 

As kid I never really got into Street Fighter cuz I didn't have any local arcades or places that had SF arcade machines. Eventually I did get to play Marvel vs. Capcom 2, but I just knew how to button mash, never really tried to learn every facet of the game like others. Maybe about sometime last year I started getting into street fighter through SSFII: HD Remix and enjoyed it quite a lot. In fact I played a match with my friend (who's been playing since he was kid, and is a pretty good player) and beat him a couple of times, which was a great feeling even though he won more matches. I've also picked up SFA3Max for the psp and I like that as well. 
 
Sorry for such a long story but bottom line, I'm still new and I'd like to get better and it would feel great to play with people on the same or similar skill level. I've tried going online with HD remix just to get my butt whipped and handed to me, so I'd like to start over with the newest game and learn the mechaics from there. I 'm probably gonna pick SSFIV either tomorrow or wed.  You guys can add if you like, I'd love to set up some matches to see how well we'd fare. And I'm gonna pick up the PS3 version, cuz 360's D-Pad is terrible!

I have SSFII: HD Remix on PS3 and 360. I played mostly on my PS3 with a pad. I recently got a T.E. for my PS3 going to mod it a little, 6 buttons straight not curved maybe put on a bat top and change the buttons, as it is now I just don't dig it. I have IV on PS3 couldn't really get into it as much as Remix for some reason but I am going to have more time now so I'm getting SSFIV for PS3 and see if I can get in some practice with the T.E. as is while I wait for my parts. I might even get it for 360 as well.  I went on the PS3 of IV the other day and got destroyed I couldn't really get the moves to come out on my stick all the time, need to practice but I'm just used to the old US arcade style layout and stick.

I may be the worst Street Fighter player in the world. Add hunkulese if you want a beginner to beat to improve your confidence.

I have been really interested on SSFIV, but i can't decide if i should get it. Last time i played a fighting game was Tekken 3 back in the day and i just played it for fun. 
 Would you guys recommend this game if i would only play it with gamepad?

First time fighting game player here. Getting it tomorrow for the lauch for SSF4 in the UK! Have no idea if I'll like it or not but it's only £25 and got 5 stars on Giant Bomb so... deal!

Just started and i totally suck  but if you wanna play GT=wandaba16

Im new to Street Fighter games, and Im looking to train with new players too.

Even though I'm pretty terrible at the game, I'm still having a blast.
