Quick question. Is 'Geif a good choice for a kind of newish but still suckish player? 
 
I mean, this isn't my first time at the Street Fighter rodeo but I'm not exactly what you would call "good" or "decent" or "even the tiniest bit respectable." I've played a lot of fighting games, including Vanilla SFIV, but I've never really sat down and gotten good at one. I just figured out how to do standing command throws and I'm feeling really good about Zangief, but I'm wondering if he is the best place to start. 
 
I've been trying to get out of the fireball legaue for awhile (No offense to people who like those characters, that just isn't my style) and finally being able to take the reigns of a character outside of that area is kind of fucking liberating. 
 
So yeah. That question.
