Just want to kind of talk about annoyances about SF, specifically what people do. Feel free to reply your own.

1. Use Hitbox and Hurtbox interchangably.
Should be self explanitory. I feel this is confusing to new players. I recently saw someone explaining Mario speedrunning also using Hitbox in place of hurtbox.

2. Does not understand the purpose of character specialist.
Pretty much people who say PICK SOMEONE ELSE! When you battle I mean. I can understand this on a casual basis but on a competitive basis where money can be on the line I do not blame anyone for only using one character and becoming very good with them. On a side note it kinda annoys me to see a decent player who uses a bunch of characters but never learns anything beyond the basics without any of them.

3. Use low tier as a double standard.
Pretty much pick a low tier character and use that as a reason they lost yet shove it in the face of someone they beat. I think most games have low tier characters who are much better than people think.

4. Use top tier as a justification as why you can't complain.
This one is kinda personal, but when I quit SFV, I did it partly because I felt that the SFV version of Ibuki moved like a snail in comparison to her SFIV SFXT counterpart. Most of the response was "BUT SHE IS TOP TIER SHE IS CHEAP SHE WINS TOURNAMENTS!". It felt like it was a reason I couldn't quit for some reason.

5. Ryu, Chun-Li, and Cammy
For reference, yes I know that Ryu is the main character. But damn do I find Ryu annoying. Any time I see merch RYU is ALWAYS in it. In my area it is usually ONLY Ryu, I would like Amiibos of SF3 characters but JUST RYU! I would like other SF chars in smash but JUST RYU (Ken doesn't count). I saw a recent toyline of SF at my local Gamestop, I checked and they ONLY DID FLIPPIN RYU. It is part of why I rarely pick Ryu. I know I get flack for Ibuki but damn I swear Capcom does the same thing with Ryu in pretty much everywhere. But when I get an Ibuki statue it is one of those giant ones in the hundreds for some reason.

Chun-Li and Cammy are pretty much because of community. They always get fanart, and usually of them losing in sexual positions. I make Ryona videos myself and Chun-Li/Cammy ALWAYS get attention. I have even had comments of people telling me that I would be so much better if I prefered either Cammy or Chun-Li I would be so much better to them because of the fanart I commission. When I went to EVO 2018 EVERYONE had Cammy and Chun-Li (and a growing section of Menat). I only found a keychain and then proceeded to commission artwork of Ibuki (pretty penny btw). I do have other SF favorites, but when it comes to official it is ALWAYS Ryu with Chun-Li behind and when it comes to community it is always Cammy and Chun-Li. I find it funny that the community makes fun of Chun-Li outfits due to the cheer number of them in SFV while the same community and people egg modders on to make costumes for Chun. I announced in my YT channel I would stop buying Chun outfits and got flack for it.
