Feel free to post what Character and SA you use down here. It will help the poll not get buried :P
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike
Game » consists of 9 releases. Released May 12, 1999
The third and final iteration of Street Fighter III, including a wealth of gameplay and design revisions while introducing several new combatants.
Poll: Street Fighter 3 Third Strike who do you play?
Ken SA3, Yang SA2/3, Akuma SA1/3, Ryu SA3, Yun SA3/2 (when I feel like I need to be in old school Mester mode)
I wasn't going to buy this game, but I bought this game. Couldn't resist. I play as Chun-Li in the series. I've always felt comfortable with those muscular legs. Not to mention, she's in just about every SF game, which is a bonus.
Secondary in 3S is probably Ibuki.
The only one I can't do is Sean. He's too difficult for me to play.
I'm really digging Sean, aside from being able to be thrown after landing my bnb (that sucks)I hear sean has some dirty frame traps and great set ups.

I'm sticking to the guys I know for now, so Ryu and Ken for me. I'm not familiar with the other characters so I have to do some digging and see who I resonate with.
Mainly Ken SA1... b/c people like jumping into it or I like quickly comboing a close fireball into the SA, same goes for Ryu(SA1)
Yun, because I think it is fun to mess around. I stick with Genei-Jin, but Im not good enough to create any madness out of it
When I'm feeling like doing something weird I pick Q, and just hit buttons.

Well you can do that with SA3 and not worry about damage scaling as much, it's much easier to confirm from different attacks, and is less open to punishment.
Ken, Yang, Q. SA3, SA2, SA2/3 respectively.
Though I "main" Ken, so I voted Ken.
EDIT: @ThePhantomnaut: plus, you can parry those really easily (well...easily if you put enough time, lol) and then you're gonna get fucked up. AA in this game is more complex than SA's and dps.

I picked up Urien as well, I learnt SFIV at first by playing charge characters so I'm already used to a lot of the charging techniques so I can do all of his vicious corner combos quite easily.
Would love to see Urien put in SFIV, Seth already has a few of his normal attacks which is quite funny. I wonder how Aegis Reflector could work on IV.

I started with Ibuki because ninjas are cool, but then I just couldn't get the hang of how and when to use all her moves. So, instead, I just played every character a couple of times to see who I liked best. Turns out it was Yang.
Really good choice. EX slashes will be your best friend.
I've been trying to learn Dudley using SA2. I haven't played any Street Fighter since The New Challengers on the SNES, so it's taking a lot of getting used to. I'll play with Yang sometimes too.

Corkscrew Blow is more powerful and reliable.
