The ratios/percentages is what really makes characters like Ryu, Sagat, Rufus, etc. ridiculous.

 

Yes Balrog can juggle, Sakura can link her Ultra.

 

But what are the chances? Sakura can't get anyone with her EX shunpukyaku

Balrog can be punished if he misses the anti-air

Rufus can be punished if he goes for air HK

To pull of Chun-Li's combos you need to really get down and do them, if you miss some of the links you're in for some pain

 

Ryu/Sagat it's like, turtle all day and anti-air your ass

Sakura's EX hurricane kick can be tacked onto the end of a lot of her combos and if you dash it makes it easier to connect off of that.  Balrog is the same way in that the vast majority of his combos can end in headbutt -> Ultra.  If you were arguing that the damage is reduced for these characters due to damage scaling I'd understand, but you're not so... here we are.

It's impossible to get anyone with her EX shunpukyaku

I can see that move coming a mile away it's just too slow/predictable. (I mean unless there are people who can pull it off out of the blue consistantly which is very rare I think)

I do combo off of it when I do get someone with it though(lotsa damage)

Sadly all her moves are just too slow, braaaaaaah! pisses me off

Crouching fierce is my savior in that regard. It's a solid move to punish with (it's horizontal range isn't spectacular, but I wouldn't trade it's AA quality for that) and it goes right into EX Shun. Off the vert I get Jumping Roundhouse, C. Fierce, EX Shun, followed by a free Ultra. Damage isn't incredible, but it's a free Ultra that was incredibly easy to combo into.

Uhh, Scarecrow.  You do know I mean you do it at the end of a combo, right?  Pretty much all her combos go into it and it connects off them.  There's no "I saw it coming and dodged it" if it's part of a combo, you know...

she takes too much damage

For a female character, she's the strongest at 950. No female character has HP higher than this.

Chun li's  for example is really only a counter for fb and silly people fa or fadc. done on a jump in or in a misread wake up game you can 1) look like a compleate t*t when you keep going and they get a great time to hit you with something.

Chun Chun can combo into her ultra after her ex lightening leg kick, and her command combo kick (not sure what its called...=( back mk, mk, down up k), and those two set ups can be linked from a variety of moves, mind you. So you can be aggressive and still land your ultra, not just a counter.
