Catching up on some stuff here.

I remember Brothers being good, but I apparently forgot quite a bit about the game, including the specifics of why it hit so hard and I enjoyed it at the time. Maybe I should replay it some day.

SF4 would slot into my top ten, as you can probably imagine. I was on the same level as you with all that early hype/interaction/etc. Then the game really became special for me as it gave me an outlet to be competitive with games in my "I'm too old and not staying in shape for DDR" post-rhythm game competitive years.

I really enjoy SFV too, but not quite as much as 4. V was great at first, because it changed some mechanics to match my style of play, but then things became kind of stale and the attitudes of everyone else made it hard to keep playing. Recent changes have all made the game more fun again, but it hasn't yet worked its way back up to how I felt about 4 for that several year time period.

At the Michigan Masters tournament earlier this year, there was a SF4 setup in the 24 hour gaming room. I jumped on after the SFV tournament was done, and played some games against some old 4 rivals, and it was just... such a wave of wonderful feelings. The magic never left SF4.
