People say the game is better now than it was in October 2001, well in my opinion, that is just some bull sh*t, because most fo the people who say that haven't even played the game that long ago. October 2001 was skill based, sure there was lag, but the move set was unpredictable, and strategies were made every second, but what about now? You do optic blasts all the time, and you win, you do maximum spider all the wime, and you win, hmm... lets keep away with hadoukens shall we? dubya tee eff, are you mad?!?!! This game is no better than it was in Oct 2001, skill-wise.

In Oct 2001, you had to train, and learn from the masters to be decent, you had to put up hours in XvSF to be with the pros, what about now? In one hour, some rookie kills a pro no prob. In Oct 2001, super moves were dodgable, and they didn't exploit brokenness, now? Mega Optic Blast, Evil Ryu Mega super duper shinkuu gou zankuu hado of air fireball good ness!!!

In Oct 2001, normal moves(c.MP, c.Hk, j.HK) dominated the game for the most part, now?? Good you know what I was going to say, here is a cookie!!

I don't see any improvement in skill, other than a loss in that factor, only newer characters, newer moves, improved game engine, and that's it. Instead of repetitive matches(When you know whats going to happen when you face a Cyke, spidey, or Sent user), how about some unpredictable matches, like it was 1 1/2 years ago? If you want to disprove, go ahead, but you probably don't know what I'm talking about.

Also, a note, I don't care if you say back then, people were rank hungry, because those rank hungry people HAD to fight the pros or they would be ridiculed(Since they were a minority at the time), and usually, rank hungry people are just as bad as they should be, but times has changed, the rank hungry is the majority, most of the pros have left, and if you are at rank 100+ and want a challenge, good luck finding them, unless against ####ies(Just happened to em right now).
