Not having played a fighting game since SF2 has made me weak. I'm getting absolutely TROUNCED online. I don't even think I could finish a playthrough on Medium - maybe Easy?
Where can one go to actually learn how to play well? I've been reading a lot online, but it doesn't seem to be helping.
Try the challenge modes to get the basics down.

Best way to get better at a fighting games for me has been; watch high level videos, practice combo's in training mode and play against real people. It's also good to pay attention to why you win a match and why you lost a match and going back to correct those mistakes. Also reading specific character discussions on Shoryuken also helps. But PLAY against REAL people, especially people that are better than you. You don't learn much playing less skilled players.

It can be tricky with a d-pad. In "simple" terms, charge bottom left, then quickly move your thumb over to the right then slightly back and towards the top-right. It has to be pretty fast. If you're going straight from bottom left to top right (similar to bottom to top with a regular flash kick), I don't think it'll work.
That's Guile, dunno if Vega's is the same.
Street Fighter IV PS3 is sub-HD in close-up

Street Fighter IV has been getting much praise for its combination of classic gameplay and updated graphics technology, but there are differences between the console versions.
Firstly, you're going to notice more jagged edges in the PlayStation 3 game, since it doesn't feature any anti-aliasing. This is in contrast to the Xbox 360's 2xAA.
This isn't that much of a negative, since the 'jaggies' are barely noticeable when playing in the traditional gameplay view.
However, you might notice the edges in the character close-ups, a view where the PlayStation 3 suffers slightly in another area. During the close-up sequences, generally used with special moves, the PS3 game's rendering resolution drops from 720p to nearer 630p, which is then up-scaled for output.
An odd occurrence that can be best demonstrated through the following game captures. You'll notice that the PlayStation 3 screenshot is slightly blurred, where you'll also see that Ryu's headband features more obvious jagged edges.

PlayStation 3

The reason for the drop in resolution is at the moment unknown, since elsewhere the PlayStation 3 build of Street Fighter IV is in the typical high-definition resolution; 720p. This can be best seen in the following images, where you'll struggle to find any discernible differences between the two:
Xbox 360
PlayStation 3
(Click on the images to enlarge)
The problem of reduced resolution in close-ups may lie in the fact that Street Fighter IV renders at an impressive and essential 60 frames-per-second, in addition to featuring impressive particle effects.
The latter are especially visible during close-up special moves, meaning that the many hidden pixels being drawn behind the particles (known as overdraw) may cause problems for the PS3's RSX graphics card at 60fps. Or at least it might be more trouble than its worth when porting the game to the PS3. Capcom's best and easiest solution to avoid reduced performance would be to reduce the resolution.
You can watch high-definition videos of the Xbox 360 build after this link, and the
PlayStation 3 after this link. Compare for yourself and see how close the two version are, despite the PlayStation 3's shortcomings. Not worth too much fuss we're sure you'll agree.
Street Fighter IV releases in the UK this Friday, when a Guinness World Record will be attempted at its launch in London.

For those interested.
Xbox 360: 2xAA, 720p all the time.
PS3: No AA, Sub HD in Close-Ups.

That is awesome! Consensual IMO.

The differences between the PS3 and 360 version are seriously indistinguishable in motion. Especially with all the particle and lighting effects that cover up the jaggies and other blemishes. The close-ups in particular happen so quickly that it would be impossible to know they're at 630p without pausing it and counting pixels.

Zangief is a really tricky bastard. My strategy is to be fast and quick, vary the projectile speed to keep him at bay and never try to grab him. When he gets close, it's like, "How the fuck did he do that?!" And for people who use that spinning arm thing he goes to dodge projectiles, I jump in deep with a hard kick or a punch.
SFIV is the first time where I'm playing real people but I developed my tactics with him by playing Alpha 3 on the hardest difficulty. IMO, he's tougher than the boss (Bison at the end). Seems as though my tactic works against real live people, too.

One tip I can give you is to know the moves of your opponent so you're never surprised at the things they do. You learn to adapt to certain characters.

Holy cow at the trials on harder difficulties.
Those links are just nutty to pull off. What a humbling experience.

Seems T. Hawk and Dee Jay are likely to appear as downloadable characters, or at least appear in maybe a SF4 sequel.

ew. this game does not look good in 480p :lol
sucks that ps3 SFIV can't output to 1080p and just 720p no matters anyways.
