well, SF4 imo has a great and balanced roster. with a mix of the classic characters and new ones into the mix. however I would say that SF3:3S, although having extremely complex gameplay due to the parry system(which can be used alot, or rarely. but is a key to playing and winning often) makes this game quite difficult to master. however the 2D graphics, the scenery and the move lists were great and varied which made me feel like i was playing an individual character not a cloned shoto.

Although SFIV is probably the best......the SFIII series will always be my favourites. I love those guys!!

I was initially dead-set against SFIV, on account of it's ignorance of SFIII. However, playing HD Remix reminded me of how much I adored Vega. I absolutely ruled SFA3, CVS2 and Super Street Fighter II with that guy! Seeing his SFIV incarnation, I was, once again, smitten. I was initially distraught at his powers becoming so weakened.....I have since made virtues of his weaknesses and have forged him into a formidable adversary.
