Justin Wong would probably be up there too over the entire lifespan of the game.

If EVO is the ultimate measuring stick, nobody comes close to Daigo, even Infiltration.
Daigo placed top-10 at 5 out of the 7 EVOs to feature SFIV.
Daigo has 5 top-8 appearances to Infiltration's 4.
Sure. "Not even close."
It has to be Daigo. So dominant for so long.
if we are talking throughout SF4 lifespan then the answers are easy
1) Daigo
2) Tokido
from like 3-7 its momochi, fuudo, mago, bonchan and something like that
Infiltration is not on this list as he only came in the scene around 2012, while the rest have been easily top 8 in majority of tournament they attend since 2009.
For American players its Justin Wong easily. Nowadays everybody just remembers Wongs recent lack of wins. 2009-2012 Justin Wong was destroying in most American tournaments. Yeah Wolfrone had a year where he was untouchable but that was just one year.
Snakeyes rise came after 2012 (IIRC), and same with Smug.
For EU its easily Ryan Hart. Ryan Hart dominated SF4 european scene for so long since the game came out.
edit
I would also add dieminion and Pr Rog for American. I would argue Rog over Wong now that I think about it easily.
Put it this way, Daigo has double the amount of championships that Infiltration has.
Damn, America can't win anythingLuffy
0-2 at two consecutive Capcom Cups, hasn't been seen in an EVO top 8 for SF4 since its very first year on consoles, yet people still act like he's relevant.
Did you read the question I was replying to? Who's a better western player over the entire 7 years the game has been released? Luffy? That I can agree with. Who else? I can think of a few arguments but nobody really stands out as an obvious choice.

The question wasn't the 4th best player.
.
Daigo
Infiltration
Xian
Momochi
in that order.
