I'm terrible at Street Fighter 4

Or maybe its E Honda and me only knowing 2 moves. Anyway I borrowed my roommates' copy of SF4 picked up my Hori stick that's a hold over from Virtua Fighter 5 and I'm now going on the frustrating task of unlocking all the characters. I say its frustrating because they put Seth in the game with all his stupid ass movies. Seriously fighting this jerk off reminds of fighting I-No in Guilty Gear XX. I mean she had a move that could make the entire screen attack you, like hope you like blocking alot.  
 
Going from left to right from the top without the extra characters, but last night I knocked out E Honda and Zangief before calling it a night after almost sending my stick out the window when Seth was able to teleport 3 times into a throw and I wasn't able to get back on my guard for him to Sonic Boom me away.  So yea not happy about that, but Borderlands needed a break lest it melt.  
 
Despite all this however i'm a little gay for Super Street Fighter 4 and the ideas of new characters and all kinds of cool stuff. i even thought about making the transition over to a harder core player "maining" and "zoning people out" but I think the learning curve is too high if you've been up on games that didn't require a fireball motion since 1992, even reading the "don't give up rookie" forums on iplaywinner.com and  shoryuken.com, the whole thing seems over my head.
