It's about as devastating as a tatsu. Still cool though.

Chun-Li has this really cool air attack in the initial Street Fighter V reveal, I would have definitely added it here, but since then Capcom replaced it with Airborne Hyakuretsukyaku. =/
You can see it @ 2:00 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yybG8m4VRtQ

The biggest tell, I think, is the shoto cr. HK.
Here it is in 3S:
I can't even find a gif of the stupid SFIV one, but in that he just kind of sits on the floor and spins around. It looks so stupid.
I think what makes the spritework so enchanting in 3S is how well the developers conveyed the shift in weight when someone moves. Even in that single Ryu sweep, he moves his arm to help balance the weight of the movement. That, along with the extremely dynamic movement of his gi and headband, really make the sprites in 3S feel alive. They definitely did a ton of research and detail work.

Yes, I agree. 3S also has moves that have a variable acceleration and a kind of "snap" moment. For example, that sweep is like, "BOOM! ...and then slowly retract." Likewise, the mule kick I posted earlier is like, "sliiiiidddddeeee...BOOM!"
Or these:
These moves are mostly in SFIV, but in that, they just feel so stiff. Ryu's throw in SFIV (I can't find any SFIV gifs, for some reason--probably because the animations are so shit) feels like his opponent is just slowly rolling over his shoulder and falling to the ground. Contrast to the 3S one above, where he grabs his opponent, pulls him in, and then quickly SLAMS him on the ground.

Flash kick. In SF vs Xmen his flash kick special could lift you up off the ground. Lost tons of friends at school because of it :

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Like explosions of power, right? That's so crucial in martial arts (I did some taekwondo and my sister still does it now), and acceleration is key. SF3S completely nails it. Talk about spoiling us rotten.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but a lot of people have posted some of my favourites already, so here's one I thought was really cool:

Yooooo this is number one for sure
Simple. Clean. Devastating.
This. My favorite move to land in 3rd strike, kind of mad they didnt bring it back for SFV

Actually I think this is my fav:
in prep for the Karin reveal, let's take a second to appreciate her counter - precursor to Dudley's rope a dope
and, uhh, while we're on the Alpha train..... a bit unrelated to the thread but awesome nonetheless as i've been playing a like of Alpha 2 Chun lately:

Yep, this is mine as well for the hilarity factor.
Round and round she goes. Haunting my dreams.
still trying to find a hq gif of the EX SFV version -_-
Not sure why people keep screwing this up, but she's actually saying "Thank you Dan Kodowski!"
Mr. Kodowski is Makoto's lawyer, and he's helped her out with numerous legal issues she's faced. So, she's rather grateful to him.
lol it's too bad the move is nowhere near as good as a dive kick
my favorite is Necro HP+HK
Well you can combo off of it iirc. that to standing jab, into QCF+HP, then QCF+LP and finally into Magnetic Storm

Any ultra/meteor move from Ex2+ easily blows away anything from 3S or USF4

I once leapfrogged this with Ibuki's taunt. It was one of the highlights of my gaming life.

Yeah, after her SFV reveal it was hard not to pick a gif of Mika. Especially after they showed that OHKO. But something about some of the physics from the Alpha 3 days seems a tad flawed.

You have fine taste.
SFIII > every SF games. Their animation is top-notch.
Here's one of my favorites:
58 frames for an idle animation is why Street Fighter III is the best.
This post made me chuckle in a very sensible way, thank you.

Here's one of my favorites:
Is Elena's idle animation rotoscoped? I never understood why she's so fluid, it almost looks out of place compared to the other fighters... But I'm not really complaining, her animations are stunning.

This is my pick too. It's realistic and feels satisfying when it lands.
