even though they're beatable, the characters with a projectile and an anti-air attack (ken ryu guile) tend to dominate most games. you have to be really good in order to beat them with characters like zangief or E honda...i'm leaning towards no

sf 2 world warrior? then no... ken & ryu > almost every other but Guile.
But... even if Guile > Ken & Ryu, still Guile it's most vulnerable to the rest of characters.

So the best character selection would be Ken & Ryu aganist every other than guile...
guile over ken & ryu.
You can be very skilled with all the characters... but using those character by two players in the same skill level... characters like zanguief, dhalsim or e.honda can't do much. Dhalsim it's too slow and zangief/honda are powerfull but have trouble aganist fireball launchers. if they can't make the fight close to the other, they are lost.

And why Guile > Ken & Ryu? the most skilled players of SF2 World Warrior/Champion Edition knows why... one of the reasons is the sonic boom vs ha do ken at middle lenght... then the time of response of guile is faster and he can go forward and fierce punch ken/ryu when they are still in the "ha do ken" posture. Guile has more troubles aganist fast jumpers like chun-li, vega, blanka, or mirror match.

i'm a fan of this game so i'll be looking for post of experienced players and know what they think.

Blanka was the most powerful of all. Everybody into Street Fighter knows he was the most imbalanced character in the game. If you jumped you either met with an electric shock or a Blanka ball right in your face. If you tried to throw a fireball you'd get a Blanka ball in the face. If you tried to launch any attack at all you'd get a Blanka ball in the face. If you jabbed you'd get sweep-kicked. If you blocked you'd get bitten. There was no stopping Blanka in the hands of good players. The reason for this was as soon as the guy using Blanka saw the very first frame of animation of any attack, they'd Blanka ball you and there's nothing you can do about that. Chun-Li, Ken, and Ryu were also far more powerful than the other characters. Zangief could never get close and neither could E.Honda, Dhalsim was too slow to deal damage and Guile was too predictable.

What the fuck?
Well, like any other game each character have their ups and downs, but it always comes down to the player. There are always ways to avoid the attacks.

I haven't played this since SNES in 93 or something :p
