I'm still working my way through FF13, so I don't quite know when I will get to the things in this post.
Execution of moves is very important in fighting games and my execution skills are sub-par. The only thing to fix this is practice. And more practice. And then some after that.
What I plan on doing is first try to do every move 10 times in a row. Then 25, and then 50. I don't expect this to happen quickly. I might time myself to see how long it takes. I need to practice quarter circles in both directions, half circles in both directions, dragon punches, horizontal charges, vertical charges, TKCS, that weird down-back to up-forward motion for hooligan, 360, the double QCFs, the super motion for charge, whatever you want to call the motion for Guile's super, 720s.
Did you make it through that boring list? I hope so. Regardless, I feel that if I can get good at pulling of single moves, I can then work on putting them together. It's hard to work on the timing when you can't guarantee that you'll be able to input the next move correctly, regardless of time constraints. After I get the general moves down, I will probably work on the challenges that SF4 has built in. The combos in it aren't true combos for the most part and such, but having the game give me feed back on the moves and if I am successful is nice. I certainly want to work on real combos though. All those 2-frame links, all those super juggles. We shall see.

Do you think you'll still have fun if you force yourself to train like this? Also - are there competitions for this? I'm sure you'll be really good before long, what with having memorized move lists (you're almost there I'm guessing) and good execution too (sounds like you're getting there from this post).
There are street fighter tournaments, none which I have any plan to enter. And it will keep me entertained in some form. I like to get better. It might be tedious, but so was farming for greens in Guild Wars. It's something to do that I don't absolutely hate.
I'll probably get bored of it soon after I start. I have no attention span.
