Shoryuken Forums - Character specific forums are great!
Why good players lose to bad ones.
The best thing you can do is play people better than you. Losing sucks but you learn a lot more than from people who you just steamroll. Get in lobbies with other PAers, since we run the whole skill spectrum. They're nice and will help you with advice and stuff. Furthermore, in Super, you can watch your own replays to see why you lost! How cool is that?

The Joystick Rant
Just buy a god damn TE. Don't ask in the thread, don't second guess it, don't read reviews online, don't poll your friends. Do you know what everyone is going to tell you? GO BUY A GOD DAMN TE. You know what people will say if you ask if you should get an SE? Save yourself the trouble and buy a TE. And then you'll be like "Why is the TE so much better than the SE?" and we'll all say "The buttons suck and you'll have to replace them and it just saves a lot of time and probably money just to get the TE." And then you'll ask us "But what about a Hori stick? I heard those are good." And then everyone will say "Yeah those are okay but they're not as good as the TE or even the SE because it's harder to mod" and then some silly goose will say "Hey, I like Hori's" just to confuse you but then someone else will be like "Yeah Hori's are fine but is it better then the TE?" and the original silly goose will be like "Oh no nothing is better than the TE" because nothing is better than the TE. And then you'll ask us why the TE is so good and the answers will invariably involve the modability, out of the box professional quality parts and the overall sexiness and build quality. But then of course because you have to make this difficult you'll say "I can't use Japanese parts because I need an octo gate, I can't use a square gate, also I need a bat top and some sort of adapter to make it work and blah blah blah" and invariably someone will come in and link you all the things you just mentioned above and tell you where to buy it from.
So I just saved the whole thread like three pages of people trying to be the first to recommend the TE and the ridiculous questions that come with it. JUST. BUY. THE. T. E.
Now that we have that out of the way, here are some stick related links:

Yeah, he's the gay brother
next you're going to be all 'abloo bloo bloo guys join irc it's cool guys come on guys'
daigo is also not the only one to use that name, so i'm not sure if this is him or not. doesn't matter, the fight was awesome.
you know it's happening
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
also daigo confirmed he plays on gameinn yes but that is not what people are talking about. Other people also play on that account so you never know who it really is which makes people say it isn't daigo when he loses or that it is him when he loses and it makes people mad and blah blah
maybe daigo is haunted by the ghost of an ancient fighting game player who appeared to daigo in a dream so that he could play the divine combo
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
What?
