I didn't play the first one. If someone's bored, give us SC noobs an overview of each character's strengths and weaknesses.

Voldo will always be the best.

And that has made all the difference.

Played at the arcade today... I kept getting smacked down until I picked Talim.

I beat all my friends and some people, until the maniacs came up. She's my perfect character.

Now I so need to get it here to hone my skillz =(

Talim is really easy to p0wn newbs with. She just works so well. If you know what you are doing though you can push her out fairly easy and keep her locked down.

Right off the top of my head...

Nightmare:
Horrific power and range; arguably the best character in the game. Some local tourneys even outlaw him and Xianghua. Speaking of which...

Xianghua:
Very quick, lots of mix-ups, few weaknesses. Popularly accepted as overpowered.

Mitsurugi (woot!):
Well balanced character, good for beginners. Has a predeliction for attacking opponents on the ground.

Kilik:
Phenomenal range, moderate power and speed. An experience Kilik player can keep up a barrage of attacks which will leave the opponent helpless (unless he can pull off a guard impact).

Raphael:
Very quick and mobile, with lots of little tricks and mix-ups. However, he has low power, and his attacks are agonizingly linear, making it easy to flank him.

Taki:
A fan favorite, the beautiful ninja is highly agile, but low in the power department.

Astaroth:
Perhaps the biggest brusier in the game. Astaroth has good range and 8,972,545 different throws, but is pretty sluggish and can be outmanuevered if the player is careless.

Voldo:
Extremely difficult but rewarding to play, Voldo can smoothly shift from stance to stance while peppering the opponent with attacks from all heights.

Ivy:
The platinum bombshell wields the weirdest weapon in the game: a sword which can extend into a metal whip. Because of this, she is equally adept at attacking at a range or in close quarters, but is not especially good at either. She also has one hell of an attitude. "Is that painful?"
Incidentally, Harold "Kageh" Hess played Ivy to a first place finish at the nationals this past winter; no one believed an Ivy player would even make it to the finals

I haven't played the other characters enough to really get a feel for them.

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Clicky

I was going to make a big long post about this but I will just refer you to the rankings project. While it dosn't tell you much about the character it is fairly spot on about what characters stand a chance against who.

Yea, chevy is a bastard.
