For me, I'll probably try the four-hitter or a standing triple for Ken.
With Ryu, I like flying fierce, crouching fierce, fireball.  Either that
or walk up, do a double (fierce, jab dragon) or a crouching forward/HK.
I get pissed if I accidentally throw them.  With Vega, just throw.
For Sagat, I do a tiger knee combo, or flying roundhouse/TU.  If I'm
using Balrog, Turn Punch, Dashing Punch, or flying fierce crouch round-
house.

If I were Honda, I'd try flying fierce/standing strong, crouching fierce.
I don't know if this works on CE, but I think it works on classic.

If the opponent's dizzy, and I'm way ahead, I'll try something different
each time.

As a Chun Li player, I have always thrown, as I cannot reliably do combos, and
they are not much more powerful than her throw.

Anyone got any ideas for Dhalsim.  By FAR, he has the weakest throw in the 
game.  It's damage is so piddly, it's robbery.  Seems liker everyone else's
throw does about the same damage except for Dhalsim's (which seems to do less
than a Ryu/Ken roundhouse sweep).  Is the double head butt better, than the
throw (plus blocked fireball over fallen body)?

Yeah, in HF his throw doesn't do much damage anymore.  The range makes
up for it somewhat.  You know, what I've been doing to starred opponents
is this: double headbutt, either slide or jump and foot drill--they have
a 50% chance of guessing what I'll do and block the correct way.  If
they don't, another possible dizzy.  Half a combo is better than none
at all, I suppose.  So far I haven't been able to master the teleport,
so I've been reduced to the standard yoga fire forward kick routine
against Ken and Ryu.  Damn, they're hard to beat even with the teleport.
Doesn't anyone play INTERESTING characters anymore? :) <--big smiley

	I must disagree here.  Chun Li has some really great combos that do
	far more damage than a simple throw:

		Aerial fierce, standing strong, standing fierce interrupted
		by a roundhouse lighning kick.

	This is a combo, although probably one of the most difficult in the 
	game.  You can simplify it considerably by eliminating the standing
	strong completely.  If she is your main character, you should definitely 	be able to do at least one of these...
