Yes, rollback did wonders for SF4, i tried myself and got pretty good results with my crappy internet, and was even surprised that i was able to hit 1 frame links after a quick adjustment, it still felt different from playing offline. Still the result of balance in SF4 its not based around online, from what i've seen, its mostly from a lot of data gathered from tournament results and players performance on those tournaments.
In all honesty, tournaments do not tell everything as far as balance goes. They might clue you in onto what's effective for less effort, but sometimes, there's characters that players consider very good that get no play due to the lack of popularity.
