That's down to the player and not the game, SSF4 had an achievement to rank each fighter up to C rated online (approx 20 wins) with 44 characters that meant that they were at least encouraging 800ish games from players not using the SF2 roster, also of course hoping that people would discover a fighter they hadn't used before and perhaps main them from trying to get that achievment. It was actually gaining my "Shiny C" that I found just how good SF4 chun-li can be and have mostly switched to main her instead of Blanka now.
That said, a few weeks back myself and a friend played 2 sessions of street fighter, one night of Ryu V Ken matches and the other Night of Ken Vs Ryu, think we played around 120 games in total and can say it was still really enjoyable to try to 1 up each other while using more or less the same set of tools. Could I just suggest if you are confident in only coming up against Ryu/Ken online just main a counter character for those 2 and drill them into the ground?

Looking at that table of match ups Adon+Rose are both highly rated against Ryu or if you want to just go for Ryu countering you have Dhalsim who rates 6/4 against Ryu, basically you're 20% more likely to win a match vs an equally skilled person just by picking Dhalsim alone.
That said http://www.eventhubs.com/tiers/sf4/
Ryu comes in at number 20 in the tier list of 44 characters so he isn't the peak of Street Fighter by any means, his counter character being number 41 would mean that in most other matchups Dhalsim would put you at a disadvantage but that is the price for playing the tier lists.
