Don't even bother comparing to SFIV. Marvel is a better comparison, since they are both in the "Versus" series. Both games have larger health bars, longer combos, and characters that seem to more "broken" than "normal" fighting games. And of course, the overall zaniness. TvC, at least so far, isn't as deep as MvC. IMO, that's a good thing. These games are more about fun, than anything else (hell, that's how all games should be).
It's a three button game, with context sensitive maneuvers. Sounds odd, but works very well. The term is over used, but, it's one of those, "easy to pick up, hard to master" games. Don't expect to get really good fast or people able to pick anyone and know how to use them right off the bat. I recommend using a Classic Controller (preferably a Pro, or one with a Nyko grip if you have one). You can get a stick, but I don't it's really necessary, due to the simple nature of the controls.
Holy shit I'm ready to play for reals now -- I've been taking screenshots and doing combos for like a week now and ready to actually get some real FIGHTS!
Ahhh thats actually covered in the gameplay guide area but ill explain it briefly. Pretty much every character has a "chain combo" that is easy to perform. You just tap, Light, Medium then Hard and it will all combo together. So on the gamecube controller you can tap Y, A, then X and you'll get a real simple chain combo. From there you can tack on a special move and with many characters you can also start a launcher by doing down-forward + X after the 2nd or 3rd hit.
Once you get past the basic combo phase of course a lot of it becomes character specific though. My suggestion would to just pick a couple characters you find appealing and try to do the chain combo I mentioned above and add on a special move to the end. This wont make you be a top player and win EVO but it will get you started.

As other's have said, it's a versus game, so closer to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, but not as crazy, since (among other things) you only have a two character team and there's what, half the roster. It's simplified, there's depth, but not SFIV depth. I'd sort of put it in the middle ground between the two games, so if you enjoyed one or the other, there's a good chance you'd find enough to like in this one too.

So this game good for a casual fighting fan? I usually hate getting involved in metagames and such.
I think I said it jokingly when Frank was announced that he would make the game worth purchasing a second time, but holy crap, I didn't realize it would be true. Everything about his character is awesome. He has the same forward kick in this game that I used all the time in Dead Rising. All of his special moves are useful in some way. His supers are hilarious. Hell, he summons zombie-filled shopping carts. He's pretty much going to be an auto-use on my teams from here on.
Still need to unlock everyone else, but this game is much better than the original. Beating Yami is so much less painful (in the jpn version, if you didn't have a fireball character, things got rough). You get a decent amount of money every time you beat the game now, enough to buy 2 costumes and a few character bios every instance. Several characters (PTX and Yatterman in particular) feel a lot better.
Online seems pretty good so far. I had barely any lag in ~6 matches, and my router's in a different room than my Wii. Ryu's pretty common online so far, hopefully that'll change as people get used to the Tatsu characters. Well, I guess hoping for less Ryu is impossible, but maybe we'll see more Tatsu guys over time.
Gotta get Joe and Ai unlocked soon, I wanna use them. I gotta find out how to get the Doronjo Pig icon too, that one is awesome.

Got it. I really want to support Capcom on one of their more significant Wii efforts. I'll pick it up when I finish NMH2.

What's wrong with looking at them as "new" characters for you to learn more about?
Man anyone know some options with zero.
He was the character I'm most excited about but I can't do crap with him.
I just can't seem to make him effective. My combos are weak, his defense is weak, his supers suck and he's not super fast for someone so weak.
I'm liking Polimar though.
I might main him and ryu if I can't get my zero going. The two got some great chemistry.

Mine is 3137-7944-8822, If you add me, send a PM for confirmation. And everyone needs to post their friend codes in the TvC thread in the online forum!
It's so lame that both players have to enter friend codes to get them to register.

Buy a Classic Controller. Don't play with the remote/nunchuk. Seriously. It's useful for so many other games besides TvC, anyway.

I almost shat my pants when I remembered this was supposed to arrive today but when I went down to check I found nothing I guess it'll arrive tomorrow with Overkill and a new copy of Galaxy.

Trying to actually pull off all of the depth during an actual match is proving a bit difficult for me...

If I want to wait for a pricedrop on the stick...what's my next best option?
Gamecube or Classic controller? I feel like both will suck, but what is the lesser of the two evils?
