1. Patience is a virtue, no need to have a tantrum and act like a child because you dont understand something.
2. Being negative and wishing on others is not good for body and mind.
3. Read the instructions manual of the game more carefully.
4. If you still dont understand the manual then go on the internet and do a 10 min search, you'll find you answers very quickly.
5. 3ds or handhelds arent the best place to play fighters.

The reason for the command list being like that is because many many SF players use different control methods it being controller, pad or fight stick. Therefore in order to keep the instructions universal they set them up as symbols rather then controller buttons. For example: A/B could be punches by default but someone might want to change them to kicks.

As for the symbols....

1. The red dot with the arrow is your d pad, joystick or analog stick. The arrow is the motion you perform.
2. The fist or foot symbols represent punchs or kicks. Punches and kicks have light/medium/hard. Therefore exactly after the motion instructed from the red dot and arrow press either a punch or kick.

Hope that helps and really be patient with it. SF is not like super smash, it will take time to fully get the mechanics.
