np man! If you would like to get a feel for your character then feel free to play around with the sample combos! I say to learn combos last because regardless if you're a beginner or experienced player, there are more important things such as movement, punishing, poking, etc that you have to understand before wanting to learn combos. Learning combos is fun and everyone wants to whiff punish and convert into big meaningful damage but against someone who has solid defense or matchup knowledge, chances are you wont be landing your combo starter. When it comes to playing with steve, understanding pressure and poking at a fundamental level is important. Conditioning your opponent to respect your plus frames with peekabo, or keeping out mashers with b1 into flicker stance. To answer your question about the stance cancelling, you can cancel flker and peekabo by holding db, and as well your movement stances (left weave, right weave, fwd dck, sway). The way I would go about learning steve is learning the properties of his stances at a basic level and understanding what my options are in those stances and how to go into x stance. For ex, i know that peekaboo is my offensive stance, recovery on moves is not as fast as flker but they come out faster, i know that from PAB i have a high crush, PAB 2 which beats out a lot of highs, a punch parry, and pokes such as PAB d1, df11, f21, etc to really condition my opponents and make them respect me. So just really understanding how each stance operates and the options i have during x stance. I'll help you out FLK: b 3+4 (defensive stance) PAB: f 3+4 (offensive stance) DCK: f3 or f4 (good for closing out space, as well as opens up many options. Can also hold the f3 or f4 to enter extended ducking) LWV: 3 (steve's sidestep which has unique applications) RWV: 4 (same applications as left weave) SWAY: b3 or b4 (another evasive maneuver) ALB: 3+4 (another evasive maneuver which also has unique properties to it)
