I will never get better.

No matter how hard i try. No matter what character i use. I GET BODIED. Every single person i run into in ranked is just ultimately better than me. Ive spent the last couple days researching proper techniques, but no one really explains the concept of footsies, frames, and ACTUALLY LINKING combos, I don't get it. I wanted to really try this time (SFIV bodied my soul.) but it seems I'm not really cut out for this game. The salt... is just too much.
