I'm wondering what characteristics the Su-27, YF-17, F/A-18 A-D and F/A-18 E-F's chines had over the F-16's that allowed them to not have deep-stall like problems?

Jump to postMCIGuy,
I didn't ask how hard it was to get out of the stall... I simply wanted to know what characteristics would have prevented the deep-stall characteristics from occurring?
I'm curious because there are other planes that can fly at very high alphas and can get themselves out of it
MCIGuy,
What tweaks would have been needed to make the F-23 more effective assuming it's not classified?
What characteristics would prevent a deep-stall characteristic like that from happening?
I mean the YF-17, F/A-18, F-14, Su-27, and F-22 don't have these problems and they can all pull extroardinarily high alphas...
