I talk a lot of mess about the new games, but really I don't think SF4 is awful. at least not at the level I play it at (low). I'm struck with skepticism when I hear about how high level play revolves around OS though.
I never played much Marvel, I'm really not qualified to talk about it.
SFxT I don't like but that's not an uncommon feeling.
mostly I just like 3s and ST a lot. they're really fun. I've been playing more CvS2 and VSav over the last 6 months or so as well, those are good also. it seems like post 2008 Capcom and pre 2008 Capcom had some really different design philosophies in regards to FGs. personally the earlier stuff appeals to me more.
I do wish more people would try 3s now, but there's been so much written and so much misunderstanding about it it's tough to convince people these days. especially when most people still playing 3s have been playing forever and people just walk in and eat throws and supers all day, get all their zoning parried and are like "this game is awful." there's not a lot of opportunity to learn how the game's really supposed to be played unless you're already interested and wanna watch a lot of Japan and Denjin/FFA videos.
