Well, if I considered that, I'd also believe that games like Call of Duty deserves all the praise it gets :P
Seriously though, Third Strike and 4 I hate. It's what happens when slow and unbalanced meet. While we're at it, terrible stories with trashy music (at least Third Strike).
It isn't slow when you learn how to play it, really. And as far as balance goes, at least SSFIV is one of the most balanced fighters out there considered the number of unique fighters. That's why it's such a great tournament game. Sure there are still high and low tier (like every fighting game), but it's still more balanced than most games.
As Aziz said, you shouldn't even bother with story when it comes to fighting games. That's why reviewers almost never brings that up. Even devs who try hard to make a good story end up with a fun but still mediocre and silly one (Netherrealm).
As far as music goes, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
You might not enjoy the game, but your statement of Street Fighter "falling from grace" is simply not true. The game is highly regarded from both critics and top players for its balance and depth. If anything, I've heard many times from such people that SFIV is an improvement over its predecessor, and it's only going upwards from that.
