I just got all the moves and strategies for both SFII and SFIICE.  I
even managed to find the strategies for the characters.  The problem is
this...I suck miserably at Street Fighter II -- any edition!  I managed
to actually get to the second battle today...I won Zangief vs. Ken, but
got taken out by E. Honda.  Like I said...I suck!

When executing a move...I will find that the execution is hit and miss.
I will be successful a couple of times, and the rest of the time, I
wind up throwing something else and taking damage.  I know that I need
to practice...but I wonder:  Is there an easy way to get reasonably good
at Street Fighter II without me spending $300 in quarters?  I don't own
a Super Nintendo...so I can't practice with that.

Once again...I know the secret moves for all the characters, and I have
strategic hints for all the characters...but my timing and execution is
miserably inconsistent.  Any help I can get would be appreciated...I
just don't want to spend mega-bucks on a fighting game when I can put
1,051,740 on a Taito "shoot-em-up" game known as "Sky Shark" on one
quarter.  I enjoy watching Street Fighter II...but I'm tired of being
a spectator.  I want to be able to join the masters of Street Fighter II
by this May!
