I used to play competitively but now I'm a little more casual. I'm teaching Basik how to play for a tournament he's going to, so you can join our sessions if you want. I play most of the cast pretty well, so I could probably teach you a good amount for any character. I do suggest to play a lot of Ryu at first to learn fundamentals. From there, we can talk about what kind of style character you would like to play.

I main Viper with a secondary Sagat, then I have like eight different characters that are a toss-up for third.

Others that play are Killing and Gravegun, as well as a few others I'm surely forgetting.

What kind of stick do you have? Or at least the buttons. If the buttons are Sanwa, then don't press all the way down, you can lightly tap and the key/switch will be read.

i play here and there, i'm more hype for new bb/gg than any capcom games atm
can play viper, cammy or seth at an ok level

That's unnecessary, because they are made to be practically beat to death. There's no advantage to pressing lightly other than not making a lot of noise if noise is an issue.

i've never been good at ssf4, but i still play it even though the local scene for it is pretty dead

i play fei/used to play ibuki
going to evo again this year :V

i can probably answer some basic questions about the game

i played the original a small bit online for pc (which wasnt that popular so i stopped) and you couldnt turn mic off so you would often here people yelling at their screens when u beat them it was cool

I love SF4!

I got the 3DS version. It was fun the few times I've played it.

I just got into the game a few months ago, been messing around with some friends and some guys at my local. I want to learn some more and actually get good. Anyone can add me on steam and my GFWL is vivalanegro.

I play it with my friend occasionally who's a big fighting game player. I don't own it myself and I'm more partial to King of Fighters myself, but in SFIV I really like Makoto and Ibuki who are almost completely opposite in terms of play style.

i can only play shotos and im terrible my gfwl is ghos7ayama

No, they are pretty offensive characters, unless you don't play one of them offensively (which is kind of a waste of potential). Both of them work a lot off of knockdowns and pokes.

Yo, I play quite a bit. Tag is Maniak902

Now that I've sorted out a lot of life issues, I'm thinking of playing again, is the population actually big enough to find games 24/7 on PC?

Yes!

I was going to learn, but Maniak902 crushed my soul.
