Dead Kings Rise
I mean I really like him, I'm just super new to street fighter and not really sure of what to do.You are right he has one of the slowest walking speeds and his wake-ups are also pretty bad. I do know how you feel though, the character isn't easy by any means. I think if you put enough time you'll quickly realize how dangerous he is up close with his effective frame traps, reliable anti-airs and array of anti-zoning tools. He is a force to be reckoned with from close to mid-screen, for sure.
He will take a lot more time to be effective with than one of the shoto characters, especially if your just starting. Keep it up though!
I'm also down on XBL, if you ever feel like sparring.
The only thing I'm really having trouble with is his Zonk Knuckle, I can't get it consistently.
