Didn't know they still had tournies for SF2, used to love the SNES. Chun-Li over all ^ ^ until you can prove otherwise vs me, I shall stand with this.
They don't. Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo is still played in some tourneys because of it's incredibly fun gameplay that has stood the test of time. It's considered the "Classic" option among fighting game players.

Soul Calibur 2 sucks. -_-;
definitely not, SC 2 rocks !
And it's even pretty balanced with lots of possibilities.
However, what I heard is that Guile in SF 2 Turbo is the strongest character.
He can just crouch in a corner doing sonic boom waiting for the opponent to jump in order to connect his backflip kick. And during that animation he can't be hit, whereas you sometimes manage to connect something when Ryu does a Dragon Punch. Plus, it's faster and can be executed from crouch.

Street Fighter Alpha ed.
was the best in terms of 1 thing, Chun Li, kicked so much ass in that ed.
^^
oops, and balance issues:
orginal sf2, of course not balanced, but fun as hell, but of course Ken/Ryu, and Guile (btw, if you were gosu, there is virtually no cool down for his moon kick/sonic boom cause of charge timing),
but were they fun to play with? Hell no, people just didn't wanna lose, but if you were cheesy enough (strategic) you could pull of the occasional win against ryu/ken/guile. but like think about, if you were gosu with zangiff, dang in 3 moves you could own anyone as long as your skill level was a bit better than others.
but bottom line was, equal skill, Ken/Ryu/Guile rocked the free world, but in Turbo, Vega (English~spanish dude) rocked those guys (again, speaking if players were gosu), but Chun Li rapes Vega,
and generally, ya maybe that Sagat (english ed. thai guy) does massive damage against ChunLi, but if she is played agressively, her toe stomp owns Saget's tiger punch and once the pressures on, its gg.
Chun Li, low mid kick, owns ^^.
obviously I've just played with her since...mmm grade 10 through out undergrad, which was like 13 years ago??...Dang! Im fucking old now.  but she still rocks.
And all 3D fighter games, my personal opinion of course, memorizing all that ab121baa whatever combinations...man the intuition factor in SF2 series, unmatchable, the real gosus, they have the force. 3D fighter gosu' they have the quick finger/memorization abiltity. Its people like you who turned SC/BW into a fricken APM/memorize strat game! ^^ but I might just be saying this cause I'm just old and stuck in my ways.
BW 4 Ever & SF2 Rocks all you pansy 3D playing faggots. Kakakaka!

What the fuck, whoever is bringing back these olds threads must die -_-;

This thread is somewhat funny. It's like reading Counter Strike players who casually play BW talking about BW balance.
In Street Fighter 2: World Warrior, Guile and Dhalsim beats everyone for free. After the original Street Fighter, Guile and Dhalsim was toned down due to their imbalance. The SNES version of SF2 was significantly different than arcade in graphics and gameplay. A lot of the arcade bugs was remove from SNES version such as Guile's 'handcuff' technique where your character wouldn't be able to move while Guile is stuck in his flashkick pose.
Japan to Street Fighter is Korea to Starcraft. The top of each series still have tournaments today: Super Street Fighter Turbo (or X in Japan) which is popular with the older player, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike is immensly popular and attracts non-SF players. Capcom vs SNK 2. Marvel vs Capcom 2, is most popular in USA and dominated by the USA, but the game is dead everywhere else.
I specialize in Street Fighter 3 : 3rd Strike, but I can almost play the other Street Fighters. There is XBOX LIVE where people can play with other people across the world, but the experience isn't the same due to lag. It's fun, but not good for serious competition. I retire from Street Fighter last year since competition now is so few and far. Now I spend all my time focusing on Broodwars since competition is plenty and fierce.
If anyone is interested in seeing Japanese SF3 tournament videos...

It's not the highest quality matches. The players are top players, but the tournament isn't top like Super Battle Opera and more like friendly ranking tournaments.

No Zangief players apparently. After playing with me everyone has hated Zangief and his awesome laugh. He's not that good until you figure out that the SPD has a very large range. He also has very quick crouching roundhouse, lots of neat throws, and the best kick ever (close forward kick). There's nothing like the feeling of standing over some boring ryu player's broken body when Zangief points his fingers in the air and laughs HAW HAW HAW HAW
I recently started playing 3rd Strike because I bought anniversary edition and it is pretty neat. Alex is totally awesome. Haven't played it online but I was considering getting Xbox Live just for that. Learning how to parry has been fun so far. Parrying is a great gameplay concept and it makes the game so much fun. I remember parrying Ryu's fireball super art for the first time. Makes you feel gosu like nada.

all I know is that bison (that's how the guy in red uniform was called) was unbeatable on NES, because he just had to knock someone down and abuse his slide attack. I wonder if such a thing existed in other versions of the game.
I really liked playing Vega (the guy with the mask and claws) despite the fact he completely sucked :/

Potemkin no fast. Potemkin smash.

I really hate King of Fighters due the gameplay, but I won't talk about that  . Even for KOF there isn't much competition especially in USA arcades. I'm done with fighting games. Arcades are dying and are being replace by LANs.
