I suck at Street Fighter

In theory, I like fighting games. In practice, I'm pretty bad at them. For most, the combos and attacks are too complicated and unintuitive for me to bother memorizing. Even when I do get the hang of performing basic attacks, grabs, and blocks, I find that I still lose to button mashing and do better with button mashing myself. It's [probably] no fault of the game's, so I'll take the blame for my failure.

Out of all the traditional fighting games I've played (i.e. not Smash Bros.), Street Fighter seemed like the easiest to learn. I did training and arcade mode and, well, it wasn't too pretty...
