Differences are in the character universe, storyline, moves, combo systems, animation etc.
My favorite series is the Street Fighter 3. Third Strike is the pinacle of fighting games IMO. SFIV only got dumber and flashier.

I disagree Street Fighter 4's combo system is way harder to master than Third Strike's. I say that actually makes the game the more "technical" fighter. Plus abusing focus' into parrys adds another layer of difficulty to master over third strike (Parry's can be picked up decently quickly in comparison). On the other end they made things "harder" by making things handicaps (Focus vs parry, timing combos vs button combos).
@OP, Street Fighter Alpha 3 pretty much connects to Street Fighter 2; there's not much they can add story wise. Gameplay wise; the series has pretty much been absorbed minus air-blocks and custom combos in Street Fighter 3 and 4.
Edit: I would like to add, that I think there's still a place for 2D sprites and I would love to see another Street Fighter done this way, even as a side (let's say, turn Street Fighter EX series into 2D :O)
