Nice, yeah I get too frustrated when I play SF IV now. I practically can't go back after getting a taste of V.
I still have a group of friends that play, so I do on the weekends. But I'm only using Ryu now.
If I would have started with Guile or Ryu instead of the characters I like more, I might have enjoyed SF4 a lot more.
But yeah, it's been a solid 3-4 years of play from me. I'm ready to say goodbye to the old game.
This is the same exact feeling that I have.
I wouldn't necessarily call myself an '09er because I played and loved fighting games as a gamer growing up, but SF IV was the first one that really got me into it because of the online aspect (by constantly having competition to face). It also motivated me to learn how to play on stick which I'm thankful for having that skill now. But yeah after 6 years with the game, I'm ready to break up with it as well.
Maybe you should try the Infiltration and try other characters, especially when playing casually.

As in "Heathcliff"
You got me! I loved to play as her and Mamahaha & Shikuru.
I've tried over the entire course of SF4 to learn tons of different characters. I've said in other threads, but the game has just never felt right to me. For the entirety of the game's life I've been fighting the way SF4 feels with learning new characters. It still hasn't clicked. Things just feel wrong to me in the game.
I actually did give up on SF4 after Super and didn't come back until AE just because so many people were still playing.
I'm fine with where I ended up in SF4. SF5 so far for me feels perfect. Everything feels right. I'm very excited about SF being my preferred fighter again.

Check the tournament records bro. People love him. I guess Ryu and Ken aren't popular in SF4 either?
Wait, do people still have vanilla SF4 tournaments? That sounds great!

I'm in the same boat. After the taste of V beta, I just don't get the same enjoyment out of IV.

Part of why I think they are generic is because they are based off of them actually, (and Trowa is my favorite character from Wing). They really aren't that original of designs for me, I only ever really see the Gundam characters.
Disclaimer though, I'm not super aware of their story/lore, especially regarding things like the comics, if story is what you meant when talking about strength. Since I never cared much for them I never read up on them. If you meant gameplay wise, then yeah they've always been pretty strong, I didn't mean to say otherwise in that regard.
I would never say they are above the majority of the SF roster though in my book, top B tier at most. But again I know that's an unpopular opinion.
Didn't know about the possible Gen thing though, that's neat.
The enjoyment I get out of IV just depends on the match-up lol. Some I hate, some I love. 3s is what I've been playing lately. Wish I had picked up Ibuki sooner, she's a ton of fun and really clicked with me (stay away because I hated her in IV, and now I'm kinda sad she probably wouldn't translate well in V either). Will probably play a good amount of SFV. Looking forward to the release window all-nighters with the offline cracksquad. I had plenty of fun with the beta but I'm not sure I'll go as hard as I did with SFIV just due to circumstances, even if I end up liking it it better.
Maybe if they renamed her, gave her a complete makeover and gave her something more interesting than fire and lightning shit and ground pounds.

lol it's all good, but yeah I was talking gameplay wise. I think canon wise they're pretty far up as well. Not in higher S but I'd say prolly between A-B. For the most part they're pretty talented when it comes to their Kung Fu. (I don't want to oversell, so someone check.)

Well might as well enjoy the ride to SFV then. New game new luck.
Considering that there are Chinese and Hongkong characters alreay, I'd love to see a character from Taiwan with Zen. The SF franchise still lacks the shaolin/"once upon a time in china" trope!
She could also have had a tired revenge plot regarding her daughter who was killed by Bison/Seth while calling herself an avenger and moaning about her pain and suffering and you can't understaaaand, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Shoot me a pm or post in the community thread when you do. I'm down for some games if you are on.
That would be instantly played.

I think you might have the same issue as me. SF4 doesn't play well with my playing style or at least I don't think it does, especially on high level play.
I developed my way of playing mostly thanks to SF2, SFA3 and SF3 and it's mostly based on reads, pokes, mix ups and the like. SF4, mechanically speaking, doesn't develop well those play styles thank to a number of things like focus, ultras, OS and so on.
SF V is the complete opposite. It's a game, like SF3, where reads and mix ups are main aspects of it. This allowed me to adapt to the game much faster than SF4.

It's crazy how much this mirrors my own experience with SF4.

My main issue with SFIV is that i cant find a single character i love and want to stick with. In SF3 i love Alex and wanna get good with him. At least SFV has Mika whos one of my favorite SF characters from a purely aestetic. My favorite type of character is a weird grappler like Alex or Mika but i didnt like either of the weird grapplers in 4. Also im a super aestetic player who chooses mains based on design and i dont care for many of the 4 designs minus Juri
Dhalsim reaching enlightenment. Like Akuma turning Oni.

The Taiwanese girl worked for Shadowlaw, but now the robot works for the illuminati. It'll be a really conflicted character which should lead to some really good character moments.
Yes, this was one of my early hurdles. Don't want to go into it and start feeling like I'm bashing SF4, but yeah. Pretty much this.

I dont get this since when has Charlie been a nickname for someone named Carlos???
Isn't Carlos the spanish equivalent of Charles?
my dude. my issues with SFIV stem from the Revenge/Ultra bullshit and how mechanically unsatisfying Focus is BUT i feel you.
the semi-grapplers weren't as cool as they could've been:
-Abel had a rekka move which i don't enjoy
-E. Honda was kinda boring
-Hakan has maybe the worst SF design of all time
nothing that was nearly as fun or aesthetically pleasing as Alex from 3S.
i do think Alex will replace the Gief/Hugo style of the opening cast so i'm really looking forward to Mika & some (hopefully day 1) alt dlc for her.
