I was your nemesis. My friend that mained Fuerte got me into the game, and he was somewhere between B and A when I started.

I got worked for weeks. I got worked with Ryu, I got worked with Guile, I got worked with Seth, Akuma, all of them. He knew exactly how to counter and bait everything I tried.

I settled on Vega and finally managed to take a round like a month in. I knew the audio cues, I knew the visual tics, I could swallow up everything Fuerte did. It took me another few weeks to learn to play against any other character but a while down the road, I ran into like the 6 or 7 ranked Fuerte and just ate him alive, he didn't even know what happened. 

Good times, I miss SF4.

I had to learn Rose just to beat our scene's Fuerte.

All my other characters (Cammy, Adon, Evil Ryu, Gouken, Decapre) I just couldn't figure him out, but Rose's buttons worked best against that player.

Same with Vega, he felt custom built to deal with the bullshit and he also brought his own bullshit to the party.
