How to Get Good at Super Street Fighter IV

Play with each of the game's characters in a few matches to get an idea of how they play. Each character has unique moves, speed, agility and strength, so find which characters fit the style you want to play with.

Enter Practice Mode from the main menu to train using your best characters. Training mode features multiple settings so that you can push yourself further as you start to learn different moves and combos.

Study your character's special moves. The game manual features a complete list of moves and you can see your character's abilities at any time by bringing up the move list. Practice using each special move and combination so that pulling off the button combinations becomes second nature.

Play with your character in arcade mode to practice against computer-controlled opponents. Start with a low difficulty level and raise the level each time you successfully complete arcade mode.

Play in matches against human players in either online or at-home two-player matches. Playing against a variety of players allows you to learn how to defend and attack against different playing styles.

Switch to new characters every now and then to avoid getting stale. Using the other characters allows you to learn how they fight, which you can in turn use to learn how to fight against them. Using new characters also allows you to have a better grasp of the game's mechanics by forcing you to learn new combinations and abilities.
