Poll
Of course, all the SF games are awesome. Except the SFEX games. And SF1.
Damn, this is a very hard poll... But I voted the III series, why? because I love Third Strike! The best fighting game in the universe!!! uh, well, I think I'm exagerating things, it's only the best fighting game on earth...
Anyway, jokes aside, every SF (minus the horrible movie one), has been fantastic.
How can someone forget the amazing SF II?? the masterful Champion Edition?? the BIG queues to play a single game? The New Challengers? The introduction of Akuma??
SF II without doubt, is one of the best sagas ever made.
SF Zero was cool, different enough from the II series, with an anime looking, fresh ideas, cool storyline and many many things more!
And...
Ok, I know most of you guys hate SF ex, and sincerely, I don't know why. The game is amazing! Sure, it has very dated graphics, but the trademark SF playability is in there! The amazing ex moves are a very very very cool feature, and let's not forget the MEGA COOL expert training mode! It's only meant for very dedicated pros! But anyone, with a bit of desire for challenge, can masterize it! The only minus about ex, are the horrible endings, but oh well, nothing is perfect in this world (With the exception of Third Strike that is! ha ha).
And speaking of Rome's King, I must say that SF III TS: FftF, is without any doub, the best SF ever, the amount of depth in this game is astounding! I can play it over and over, and I never get tired of it!
Well, my two cents

My vote goes to the SFIII series. And, about my opinion... EXACTLY, WORD BY WORD what ONSLAUHT has said.
Viva SFIII 3S!!!

Don't forget to explain why you picked the series that you did!
Personally, I like the Alpha series the best. The jump from SSF2T to Alpha was the biggest leap in the SF games (or close to the leap from SF to SF2), and SFA3 is tied with Soul Calibur as my favorite fighting game of all time. SFA3, IMO, had the best overall cast of any SF.
Of course, all the SF games are awesome. Except the SFEX games. And SF1.
Alpha all the way, yo. some of my favorite characters, good animation, and Alpha 2 got way too much play outta me at the arcades!(and on console, but it's all a good thing)

Hmmm... Difficult poll. I like certain games in each series, but hate others. Let's see:
SF2 series: Overall, probably the "least flawed" of the SF games. HF is still probably the best overall SF. BUt it's old. ST has more bullshit, but is more fun. Too bad I never got much of a chance to play it. CE and WW were good for their time, but they're obsolete. Super was never good.
Alpha series: Alpha 1 I barely played. It didn't really suck me in. As it rusn out, it's one of the worst Sf game ever created. Alpha 2 I really liked when I first go it. Then I saw it at the tournament level, and have hated the game ever since (even though it's probably the most "solid" of the Alphas). Alpha 3 is hands down muy favoourite "pure" SF game, even though it's filled with a ton of bullshit and has horrible hit detection. I still love it, nd am waiting for a game to replace it as my favourite as it replaced HF before (I was hoping CvS2 would it, but CvS2 had too many problems).
SF3 series: Liked NG and 2I at first, but it always seemed to be kinda lacking. I would get bored of the game pretty quickly compared to the other Sf games. I never did like the parry. But then I saw what this game was like at higher levels, and I disliked it even more. Third Strike isn't bad (it has the most characters I like to playn abd I can tolerate it in small doses), but I still think the series suffers from a serious lack of strategy thanks to the Almighty Parry. No range game - hell, no real game period other than "mix it up" since the parry stops (nearly) everything. I'm half convinced that the only people who really *love* this game (as opposed to merely tolerate or somewhat like it) are the ones who got their ass washed by FB-DP people and couldn't be bothered to take the time figure out the ways to get around them. Oh well.
SF EX series: Garbage. Always has been,. always will be (though EX3 has some interesting tag juggles). Ugly graphics, horrid music, homogenous characters with normal moves that were way too similar to each other (not to mention the tons of shotos), and boring gameplay. EX2 only made things worse with the "wonderful" additions of Excel Combos. Oh well. Maybe it was more interesting in the BS kinda way. Whatever. I think the whole series is ass, and I hope to God we never see another EX game ever again.

Wow, it looks like when you speak, the others opinion doesn't mind.
There are many people that don't agree with you, but you speak as if you were the supreme truth. Oh, well...

well SF2 series (fire balls dragon punchs) is more like a stratgy and slow, in the other hand SF3:3rdS is faster and more tactical, so see what fits you best!
I know I replayed in two differents ways, but I have nothing to do better than that!

I believe my opinion is an informed one, having not only played the SF games for a long time, but have played at a fairly high level for a long time, as well as played with/learned from other very high level players. I also believe that there are many here who do not have as informed an opinion on this subject as I do. So yes, when I post what I think, the opinions of less-informed people do not concern me. I may respect the opinion of others (or I may not - it depends on the person and the opinion presented), but regardless, I hold the right to tell someone when I think they're wrong and why. It's not "supreme truth" (there are no absolutes when it comes to these things), but it's a lot closer than what a lot of other people post.
From Dragon-warrior:

well I think SF2 and SF3 are 90% different in the gameplay, SF3 mostly normals and throws and parry, while the SF2 is more like Fireballs and Dragonpunshs so either you like ,it is your opinion, for me I feel really bad why I didn't give SF3 a really good try, I still think it is fun, even when I am not a good player in it!
SF3:3rd Rocks!
SF3 is mostly normals and throws and parries is correct, but you forgot the occasional universal overhead and EX moves. However, SF2 is more like FBs and DPs? Uhm, what about the half of the cast who *didn't* have a FB or a DP? Some of us played with the likes of Bison, Balrog, Vega, Honda, Zangief, Blanka and Dhalsim you know. Some of us were actually very good with these characters, especially in Super Turbo where characters like Dhalsim, Bison, Vega and Balrog are king. And even with the shotos, you couldn't get by on special moves alone (not against good players anyway). You needed a solid knowledge of the use of your normals or else you'd die pretty quickly. And how could you forget the 20% damage throws of yore? Throws were a very much used tool (some would say overused) in the old games.
So no, SF2 was not mostly Fbs and DPs. It's like saying that Tekken is all about 10 strings, or that MvC1 is all about dial-a-combo, or that MvC2 is all about Cable.
Oh, and SF3 (not even Second Impact, supposedly the fastest of the SF3 games) is not as fast as Hyper Fighting or Super Turbo. HF on its highest (?) arcade setting is actually MvC2 fast (faster than I remember, actually). SF3 series may have dashing and long-jumping, but the main gameplay is slower.

Don't you feel bad after spending too many time (not to mention the money) in a game series that you hate, Ultima?

He he he. I really find Ultima to sound quite stuck up. As for the opinions of "lesser informed people," I consider myself very informed. I think EX is ok, and I think that all of the versions of Three are awesome. I guess Ultima is trying to alienate everyone. And as for your little remark that....
"I'm half convinced that the only people who really *love* this game (as opposed to merely tolerate or somewhat like it) are the ones who got their ass washed by FB-DP people and couldn't be bothered to take the time figure out the ways to get around them."
......screw you. I love Third Strike. And I am a very good Street Fighter player, as well as a very good KoF player.

"about SF3" 
but I got over it, an actual player couldn't do a Psycho Crusher like that...it's still a fun game, and they brought Cody back! And I like R. Mika.
