Like there was Vanilla Sagat, Guile in Super, The twins, Red focus and Elena right till the tail end. I won't even say that SFIV is the most well balanced/or has the best mechanics compared to other entries. I won't lie that a lot of the other games on this list below SFIV are just mechanical preference, I like how they play versus my personal preference. The only other game i feel as strongly about is Team Fortress 2, but that never really got replaced(and has a very active community). I think that there is something amazing about SFIV that when SFV came out it felt weird because it had been such a large part of my life for nearly eight years. The competitive scene was amazing, it was the last time i always wanted watch people play fighting games everyday.
