I went with akuma just because i hate getting killed when someone spams that cheap ass ultra.
But i'm pretty devastaing with zangief who's ultra is only slightly less cheap.

Sagat is by in far the single "Strongest" character. Arguments could be made about Ryu's easily accessed Ultra or Zangief's rediculously fast grabs make them better, but Tier listings don't lie.
Also, where is Rufus? He's ranked 4th in most polls and Justin Wong (Top U.S. SF4 Player) Went to the world finals playing as Rufus.
Although he lost to Umehara Daigo (Japan, Ryu) 4-0 in the finals.

And BTW, I'm pretty sure an Ultra sucks when it loses to jumping... Gouki's ultra just takes alot of patience and really.... REALLY good timing. (And therefore sucks)Herb sewell said:
Oh but gouki's is so satifying when it hits. Those first two punhes look so painful and funny at the same time.Thegoodfriar said:
I've always hated fighting Sagat, whether it's Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Super Street Fighter 2, Alpha 2, or IV. At first, it was because he was so hard. Nowadays, it's because he's so predictable and the people online always corner me and spam the fireballs. Cheap asses...

Yea try button mashing against any ho-hum player and it may work. But when you look at experienced players that know the ins and outs of combos it is a piece of cake to lay out a new player.
Heck I can beat my friends playing as Zangief with one hand... I really need to have it video taped.
Well, have you button mashed in Street Fighter against a guy who knows their salt and won consistently? Or are you of the sort that never even plays fighting games yet somehow knows better than those who do?Zeeky_Santos said:
It's a multiplayer game. Like Team Fortress 2, like COD4, like Street Fighter II and III, people will still be playing it after a new game comes out. Besides, not many games are coming out that are as known as Street Fighter. There's Tekken but that's a different beast entirely. Other than that, games like Blazblue, KOFXII and the like will be vying for a different audience SF4 has.
Not only that, playing against button mashers is merely a showcase of patience. Playing against someone who just indiscriminately mashes buttons is just a case of waiting until they trip up and then punish it. Nothing more. If you want to see proof, I can show you my 70% win rate (of about a 1000 matches) in SF4. It really isn't that I'm so awesome at the game, it's just that most of the players I've played have been either predictable Ryus, Kens and Sagats or obviously were mashing buttons indiscriminately. You don't need to know flashy combos, just the basics (i.e. basic moves, blocking and how to get supers and ultras in consistently).
Oh, and you don't really do charge moves by mashing buttons. That alone requires some thought to be put into the game.
That's because Vega is really hard to play properly and even if you finally manage to get decent with him he does rather poor damage. He also has less health than most.Fruitloops89 said:
Rose, Guile and Vega are the three who vie for the position of worst character in the game. Guile due to a lack of options and a strangely inconsistent flash kick, Rose because all her special moves are incredibly punishable so you can only commit if you're absolutely sure it's going to hit and Vega because of poor damage, weird hitboxes and a practically impossible to use ultra. Still, the game is rather balanced overall so its not entirely a lost cause if you play as one of these, but its generally going to be an uphill battle.
