Sure it can be hard sometimes, (especially with Ryu and his hadouken) but with a little practice, that is all it takes and you will get better at this game and soon you will be ready to move onto a higher difficulty level. Otherwise it is no big deal, just practice and set up controls you are comfortable with and practice making moves and combos and it will get easier once you practice. Honestly the game is not that difficult in my opinion, and you really don't have to be a street fighter expert to be good at these games, I mean if you have played one before then you know what to expect. So pretty simple for the story, nice and simple and it doesn't get in the way of the gameplay of the game itself which is why I scored it a 7, it is just enough to enjoy the game and keep things interesting enough. So the story is simple and it varies for each of the 12 characters depending on which one you beat the game with will determine the story that follows after the tournament.

I am glad that the storyline isn't complex because it would get in the way of the action and purpose of the game, the main focus of the game is the fighting and the action, and I think it wouldn't be as fun if there was a long boring story in the way to get in the way of that.

The stories for each of the characters are pretty simple and they don't span across the entire game, they all have their reasons for competing in the championship to see who is the champion fighter. As in all street fighter games, on the path to victory and you become the champion fighter, there is a small story that follows after your victory and it varies for each character once you have beaten the game.
