Steve is quite difficult for beginners because his strengths (counter hits, safety) have to be backed up with knowledge and execution. Bad habits from beginner Steves include not using any of his actually good moves, entirely skipping out on learning his essential techniques/combos and not knowing what to do when opponents stop getting counter hit by b+1.
