Alex SICKNESS:

Stungun setup:
This is so easy it's criminal, do a strong shoulderbarge (charge back, forward+HK) against a defending opponent and cancel it into the Stungun Headbutt with medium punch. They cant do anything cos they are still in the blocking frames so the super will connect. Next hit them with a strong Flash (hcf+HP) then or have a choice out of HCB+P (for reverse suplex) or back+HP for choke hold. *this setup will take around 40% damage and is 100% certain.

Sounds more like a cheap tactic to me! Along to lines of tap, throw which was always considered a no no in my book!

I'm not going to argue about the fact. You are probably right, I have to admit I don't know the game well enough...but from what I did see I didn't enjoy it! Also when I worked in an arcade SF 3 died a f*cking death and we ditched it cause it because of the fact. People were more interested in playing EX the Alphas and KoF!

That's true enough - I still remember the first time I got schooled by a decent Zangief player - & there was me thinking I would walk that round...

I know it's a little old, but I've just got Capcom vs SNK 2 to play on Xbox live. I used to be a great ken/ryu player, but after playing online, I've just realised that they are so easy to beat. So I turned my eye to Zangief, and I've realised how awesome he really is!!

I often get lots of laughs from the other player at the start of the round, soon to turn into tears by the end

How come no ones mentioned SSF2T...
That's my best one ever followed by SF2 Hyper.

Yes, there aren't as technical as some of the later beat em ups but for me, it all gets a little too much and it's best kept nice and simple and besides, everyone knew how to play SF2 then and you got a few more challenges and had more satisfaction when you beat human opponants.

Also, I'm not sure if it's me but I find it incredible hard to master SF3.
I think it's me being too retro or the fact that there wasn't a SF3 arcade around me.

I also think that the Capcom vs SNK series are crap.
I've tried so hard to get into this game and just can't.
They control nothing like they did in the earlier series and it's hard to time jumping into downed opponants unlike when you could cross them over like the earlier SF2 series. The animation seems all wrong. I don't know.
I can't pinpoint what it is but it just doesn't feel as nice and tight control wise as the earlier SF2 series.

Anyway, my best game besides SSF2T is probably KOF98.
Very playable and technically just right.
It's great doing the AB rolls and small/double jumps and running made it a very aggressive or very tactical game.
The other KOF's however have disappointed me.
