3rd Strike was a weak tourney game because you could get out of anything. There was no incentive to attack, and less incentive to use any of the skills learned for every other 2d fighter. No zoning. No trapping. No rushdown, because doing any of these, they could just parry out of it.
If you're seriously having trouble with fireball spam, you need to work on your spacing. you want to jump from a position where they won't be able to anti air you when you're coming in, but close enough that you can encourage them to stop fireballing. That's Street Fighter 101 shit right there. People have been dealing with it since 1991. All it takes is experience and a desire to actually improve.
As for controls, I've played on arcade sticks since 2000 for consoles, and I'm not having any problems. If you don't want to shell out for the controller the game was made for, that's entirely up to you. But I recommend it.

Post your win %.
Mine is 66.99%. Not great, but a lot of my losses came from when I was first getting used to all of the stuff. Now I am getting 15 game winning streaks pretty consistently.
Yes finally Femme Fatale Pack is on PSN! Get! After a short stint in ranked matches, I decided to switch back to player matches. I don't let losing in this game affect me. I should note I just got the trophy for winning ten matches, and I've played a little bit over a hundred matches. So yeah I'm pretty terrible, but I don't let it detract from having fun. For me I just enjoy the thrill of battle.
After training with Rose for a long time, I came back to Cammy, and I think I've improved with her. I still can't do her aerial cannon dive, or hooligan combo(which is hard to pull off at all and I'm not sure it's worth the effort). Before I quit my last session I was facing a scrub using Chun Li, who didn't know how to use her specials, and kept spamming her lightning kick. I proceeding to beat him down with Cammy and Rose. At some point he must of given up on Chun Li, so he tried to be cheap with Zangief. I lost one round to his cheapness and I was determined to show him the error of his ways. I couldn't get the job done with Rose, as I was caught up in his damn command throws. So I switch to Cammy, used my Ultra when I needed to, and defeated him.
Offtopic I did get a chuckle at the ShamWow story Coldbeer I was hoping it was true, because that would've been epic.
Throws aren't cheap, fireball spamming isnt cheap, doing one move over and over isn't cheap. If you can't avoid it then you're just bad. Don't blame the game for your lack of skill.
Too true, you just have to find a way to counter your opponent. I had a Ken who kept doing shoryukens, so I just jumped up and air threw him until he changed his tactics.
You know, I think the full sentence there might have changed what I said ... just a little.
Actual line: But honestly, I think IV has a way's to go before it can match up with Smash Brothers, let alone Virtua Fighter and Third Strike.
The "let alone" part that you left out indicates that I clearly think Smash Brothers is at the bottom tier of the fighting game pile. Nice try though.
Just got the game a couple hours ago. After a very brief training mode with Ryu I went ahead and did arcade mode on medium. Other than Bison and Zangief giving me minor problems, I was able to get up to Seth pretty easy. First round was nothing. I thought this was going to be a piece of cake and was wondering why I kept hearing so many complaints. I soon found out
After 35 attempts(I know because I counted) I just gave up. Other than that the game is pretty damn good.
Wooo! Just got my win percentage online to 73%. I am 146-54 with Cammy. I've got about 2000 BP.
My win percentage is 67%, I've got about 1020 BP.
Two things:
1) I find it absolutely hilarious when fighting female characters with Ryu. After I win, they're laying on the ground, their legs are spread, they're breathing heavily and he says "Can you stand after THAT?". It makes me chuckle every time.
2) One of the challenges (I think it's time challenge #2) says below the description "who is that in the audience?". All four battles take place in the arena witha very busy audience, but I didn't see anything of interest in the audience. Am I missing something?
I know in Japan there was a contest where the winner would be put into an SF4 background; I'm assuming that's what it was referring to. In which case, we may never know who, exactly, that winner was :P

I'm lovin' my SFIV. I got the PS3 CE. So far, I beat hard mode with Ken on the first day, then I logged 17 hrs w/in 2 days as well as unlocking all Characters except for Gouken and Seth.
As for the "gay" song. It's not so gay. Street Fighter is ultimately a product of the 90's....and that being said, that song is SO NINETIES. Also, it's very arcade-ish. No qualms here. I think it's all a great package.
I agree! On "medium" the game isn't too hard, but round 2 of Seth is crazy. He's pathetic in round 1. (Corner him and you can keep throwing him) But round two is another story. He's just a bit much. That same day I was still getting use to the new moves and so forth, so maybe I might have better chances now :P
