Insightful Articles on SRK (especially useful for noobs)

[Little England]

So SRK has been hyping up SSF4 and I've been skimming past a few of their articles. It addresses some noob mindsets(which is the biggest problem with noobs imo not their ability) and how to play the game. They are still overall good reads though so everyone can benefit. Most importantly though, all of these articles can be applied to Melee. Just replace "Daigo" with Mango or "DP mash" with shine OoS and you'll be good to go.

Don't read them all at once of course. Choose one that interests you or you feel like you could improve on the most.

*There are more. Head out to the Strategy Forum at the SRK forums if you liked these.

Also, I feel like a thread LIKE this(definitely not this one) that conveys similar information should be stickied somewhere in the melee boards. Always good to get more noobs into melee. =D

I read all of these by the way

I liked the first and second one the best

the last two killed my morale

 

[The Greater Leon]

i read all of them

prediction/reaction was my favorite

although i read all of the offensive guides as a defensive player

some portions of the reaction based article seemed like lunin's article in the improvement thread
