Once upon a time I loved playing Street Fighter 2 (turbo, championship edition etc) on SNES and in the arcade. I'd like to give SSF4 on XBox a chance. What advice would you give to someone in my situation? My favorite character(s) were Ken/Ryu. I'm interested in basic strategy and moves (fireball, upper cut etc).

Using fireballs to zone your opponent to keep the distance still works, as using dragon punches to punish random jump-ins.
There are some new mechanics, though:
There's a set of video tutorials aimed at beginners:
Ryu and Ken were nearly identical to each other in Street Fighter 2, but they became a lot different since then. Ryu is best played by using fireballs to keep the distance to the enemy and punishing their approaches, while Ken is best used in rushdown.
