Street Fighter 2 games and controllers

I was wondering if you guys that play SF2 a lot notice any difference in the controls from one version to another?  I use to play all day all night back in the 90's and was an decent player.  I seem to notice differences in how easy moves come out in say, turbo compared to SSF2T.  A while ago I used to really notice it from using Callus to Mame, both Turbo versions.  I seem to be able to pull out moves easier on SF2Turbo than SSF2Turbo.  Does anyone else notice any difference?

I also have a joystick box for my xbox 360 to play SF2Turbo and that plays exactly control wise as I can remember as the arcade.

I've used both GGG GP-Wiz40 MAX and a hacked Gamepad Pro both with the same results.  Oh, multiple computers as well, P4 1.7 and 8500 Dual Core.

Any thoughts or am I just crazy???

There is a difference in input timing between HF and ST.  Specifically ST is harder. Inputs got much easier after that in the Alpha, Vs, and III  series.

shoryuken.com/forums is probably a much better place to ask this question.

There are several reasons why playing on an emulator feels different from the actual hardware. 
Emulators can add input lag to your controls, keyboards and keyboard encoders can ghost, usb polling rates my affect your control response, emulators may emulate at a different speed than the original, you may be playing on a different speed, different roms have different speeds, you may be playing on inferior quality buttons and joysticks, your computer may change the speed, etc.

Your Xbox 360 has a much easer time of it.  It has been coded to run one game on one set of hardware with one type of controls.  But even then, I know people claim they can tell a difference even on it.

thanks!  i just wanted to make sure i wasn't smokin something. LOL.  i was positive that callus was much easier and more arcade like than mame at the time, around .37 beta 9.  long time ago i know.  i hadn't played SSF2T up until recently and it did seem much harder for me.  thanks again!

Its funny how this topic came up....I was last night out in cold in my shop sorting through all the SF roms I recieved for my MAME setup...If I see another SF I am going to puke...The thing that blew my mind was that there was so many different versions of the same thing. I too, was a decent SF player in the 90's...and after that I stopped...Can somebody explain what is the difference between the Rainbow/Red Wave, and the 30 + others?
