Will my SF4 skills translate to SSF4?

I found a copy of SF4 in my library, and I really want to play it. I was wondering, if I played that, will my skills translate well into SSF4? Or will it feel like a new game for me?

It’s largely the same game, like game-mechanics wise. You’ll find odd tweaks like certain moves do more/less damage, and other things like Ryu’s hp shoryuken does 2 hits instead of 1, but SF4 is obviously a good lead up to Super/AE.
