I cant imagine how much time I and only one of my friends(everyone else thought it sucked for some reason) put into Street Fighter IV. Even when my one friend quit,due to the overwhelming number of kens online, I continued to play the game. Then Super Street Fighter IV comes along and has all the features the first one should've had atleast in terms of online play. I first went into the arcade mode to try out one of the new characters. I started with Cody. I was able to beat the arcade mode without losing once, even against seth(who is still a annoying as fuck character who should have been taken out completely.). I then tryed Juri, Guy, Ryu, and Goukens arcade modes. Juri is a interesting new character. She's more of a offensive character with all those pin wheel, aerial dives and fireballs. She freakin fast. It was hard to get a handle on how she played at first. After messing around with the arcade and bonus stages I decided to hop online. I first fought some one who used hakan and whipped his ass. If only the replay feature could upload videos to youtube then it would be awesome. Then I fought like 10 kens in row and decided maybe it time to throw in the towel. I then noticed that there was a same skill filter on the online options. Well I went insane after that playing against people around my skill level. Even after I lost it felt like they were all rather fair fights. Super Street Fighter IV fucking rocks. It's that simple. Sagat is now easy to fight which is awesome. Seth is still a pain in my fucking ass and Ibuki and Ken definately need some nerfing, but it's still a fucking amazing game.

Thanks for the post. I didn't realise there was a same skill filter in the online options, I might win a couple now. Only got the game a few hours ago. Tried playing a few characters in arcade mode think its time to take Ibuki online!
Yea, as soon as I found the Same Skill filter in the Custom Game menu I started having a blast. Be sure to try Endless Battle and Team Battle if you've got some friends. Those modes are still fun just playing with random people as long as you don't mind the smack talk. Find games is still a pain in the ass. "Unable to Join Session!" Argh! Juri is who I've been playing the most with and she is certainly an offensive character. She can zone a little with her Senpusha fireball but I guarantee you if you let anyone rush YOU down your already losing. She has not ability to get someone away from her. A Zangief will destroy you everytime and there is little you can do besides zone and dive kick the lariat (which will NEVER do the full three kicks for some reason).
@Zombieheadbutt: I hate the damn online connectvity problems. I should of mentioned it but I thought everyone new about it so it would be like common knowledge.

It is a bummer that the "No Game Available" or whatever bullshit still happens, but at least it doesn't keep that users name on the list like it did in SFIV. At least the netcode has been improved so that's good.
