Just wanted to share that after about 2 years I finally made it to master rank in SF6! I main Luke and the most recent buffs definitely helped. From 0 experience in any fighting games, picked up classic controls, until now - it was quite a grind.

The biggest hurdle initially was wiring the brain to use classic controls on d-pad (still can't hit DP AAs at all). After controls, the other biggest factor was mentality - stuck Diamond 2/3 for a while before a mentality shift of trying to win vs trying to learn finally clicked. I always keep a mental picture of Ryu sitting in tranquility under a waterfall. Let the real lessons begin!
