Hi there people, its wonderful to see so many people turn up to this conferance, like all good conferance's I'll say what I think and you'll all listen, in internet terms, you'll view the thread not make a reply and leave me feeling worthless since no discussion has been created as opposed to real life when you monologue and you feel superior when people haven't got an answer for you, with that out of the way, lets roll! 
Now i've loved Street Fighter since the original (and by original I mean number 2, haha yeah I know), and I've used Ryu as my staple character to fall back on, I tried Guile and loved his overpowered regular moves, but as the series moved on to turbo and championship editions Ken was by far the stronger of the two. I would go to the arcades to sample Cammie and Fei long only to be challenged by a fire dragon punch and haduken spamming teen my senior by several years. To which I didn't have an answer to unless I used Ryu and his surperior defence with the hurricane kick.
Onto Street Fighter 3, and Ryu and Ken get added to the roster, great, I only find that Ryu once again is the lesser to Ken, once again as a defense character Ryu is much better but against a gamer who is an expert with Ken or Alex the Timer was your friend and greatest move.
What I dont understand is that the cannon states that Ryu is the best fighter, fine in competition I dont want everyone to use Ryu on the basis he is the best, but out of pure character I've always hated Akuma and Ken since I hate their snotty nosed brat "i'm the strongest" attitude. But the games always favoured Ryu's counterparts not him, even though story states otherwise.
Anyway, fast forward to Street Fighter 4, how happy am I to find that Ryu is in terms of tactics and defence, he is the strongest character. was it a concious decision by Capcom to do that?, Ken and Akuma are poor compared, even though the major movesets are the same. GREAT!
And now with Tatsunoko, The Eagle is arguably the biggest draw to this new fighting game in the VS franchise, and having seen videos the Eagles moves give a huge "recovery" period for your opponent after connecting. WHY? WHY?
i love you Eagle, why did capcom mistreat you as such?, I went apeshit seeing you in a fighting game with Ryu only for capcom to mess you up and make you less usefull than Morrigan?
Please Capcom, atone your sins, make Eagle on par with Ryu, he deserves it.
