Ridiculously Difficult

I bought this Street Fighter IV looking for a fun, slightly challenging game that I could enjoy like I did when I was a kid. What I got was an extremely difficult game with lazy graphics (compare it to Tekken 4, even. If they wanted to be lazy, they should have at least used cell shading instead of half*** 3D effects.) . Even David Sirlin, Chief designer of Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, calls the game too difficult.
I ended up trading the PS3 Street Fighter IV for Capcom Vs SNK 2 for PS2 and the Pre-Owned version (of the PS2 game) was three dollars more. If this game were so great, do you think GameStop(s) would carry multiple returned copies when the next version isn't even out? Would they price it lower than another street fighter game from 2001/2 from a previous console?
Capcom needs to work on making a game that is beatable on 'normal mode' I got to the last guy and gave up. Also, training mode needs to train you by showing you the moves and having you execute them. The current training mode doesn't train you as well as the challenge mode, which by the way is strangely at the difficulty level it should be at: Normal is beatable.
