I think that speed is an important factor in the enjoyment level of any
game. Generally, the more fast-paced a game, the more fun it is. Of
course, there are exceptions (anybody remember the old SNES version of
SF2T, with the 10-star speed setting? It was a trip!) But the tendency
is that as games progress, they get faster...SF2, SF2CE, SF2Turbo, SSF2
(an exception, which generally got bad ratings because it was too
slow), SSFT2, then the Alpha series which generally kept the same speed
throughout, then SF3 which was rated slow and therefore inferior, and
the versus series which is faster than the rest. Faster games are more
fun to play because you have to be REALLY good to react in time, so if
you can amass a good number of wins then you know that you must have
some skills to speak of.
And as for RV in MvsC, did you play with him on the highest speed
setting?????? Its just sickening, he doesn't ever materialize solidly,
just those transparent shadows....

I disagree. It just makes the game unnecessarily hard to play. And you
don't have to be really good, just really fast. One person could be an
overall better player but gets beat on speedy games just because other
people have faster hand speed/reaction time. I don't think speed is a
determination of who is the better player.
