I love Elena so much, and I thank Street Fighter III for giving her to us, as a people. Seriously had no idea she was a 6ft tall high school girl, and the fact she only kicks is honestly super interesting. I don't think she's as broken as she is in Ultra Super Street Fighter 4, but she is a testament to what makes SF3 special. The game itself has it's own style to it and while the music is fresh and the stages are dynamic and pretty, I can see how this game would feel like style over substance at first. Aside from parrying, SF3 adds more supers into the mix to give the player plenty of options, but that simply doesn't make up for the lackluster roster. Not to mention, that Gill is pretty much one of the worst final bosses in fighting games around with so many of his attacks just outright shutdown options, his super that heals him all the way, and the random amount of super combos he pulls on you. Gill is like a much tamer Rugal, sure you can actually do combos and supers on him, but he will kick your ass immediately if you slip.
