Posted up today on Shoryuken.com are links to downloads & youtubes of the final 10 matches in the Evo West Super Turbo tournament. Personally I prefer Turbo, but Super Turbo is my second favourite 'pure' Street Fighter - and watching such high quality play just makes me weak at the knees. There's a real sense of epic battle that I don't really get from newer fighting games... there's just something about the old school Streets.

Also worth reading is Dave Sirlin's blog on the same match vids, describing his thoughts during his matches. Very good insights within: http://www.sirlin.net/archive/my-evolution-west-2007-performance/

Oh, and I forgot to mention that AfroLegends has the scariest Boxer I've ever seen. I caught his RTSD matches against Valle last year, and his rushdown scared the crap out of me even when I wasn't playing... Deejay is his second char and he only played boxer twice!

Any sufficiently godlike street fighter technique is indistinguishable from randomness
