> Aside from the Vampire series, I never use all 6 buttons in a Capcom fighter (Chain combos rock!).
Most people (who are good at the games anyway) acually use all 6 buttons, myself included, depending on the character (if the character has useful attacks across all 6, then all 6 are used).
> My best friend played the hell out of SF II and he uses mostly Fierces and Roundhouses. He thinks Jabs and Shorts are cheap and rarely uses them.
No comment.
> As for more buttons equals more moves; that'd be true if more characters played like Guy and got different attacks depending on what buttons used. Not different speed attacks.
This isn't true. Even if a move across two buttons animates identically, the two moves having different start-up, recovery, hit box size, hitting frames, etc. makes them entirely different moves. Even so, after the SF2 bosses go makeovers in SSF2, there haven't been many examples of characters having redundant moves. You may get a couple of examples here and there (e.g. Alex c.LK/c.MK, and j.LK/J.MK in SF3), but that's it. The majority of the moves are different.

I was refering to specials, not normal moves.

Oh, my mistake. Well, that doesn't change anything. While you do find more rudundancy among specials, there are times when you need a medium special (particularly with projectiles) as opposed to a weak or a strong one. Also, it's easy to give different properties to the same move across 3 buttons. For example, take Ken's DP in the Alpha series. It has different invincibility frames at different times for each version, so you use them in different situations. Jab DP is anti-air (invincibility early), Strong DP is a ground move counter (invincibility later), and fierce DP is for combos (no invincibility, does most hits and damage).
