I want to compare three multi-role fighter aircraft and i'm not sure if i could consider the SU-30 as one that falls under that category. So, is it a multi-role fighter aircraft or a superiority aircraft.

It is a multi-role air superiority fighter similar to the F-15E Strike Eagle and F/A-18E Super Hornet. It's just as good if not better in the air superiority role as those planes, but not quite as capable in the ground attack role as they are.
Essentially all fighter aircraft of recent production are multi-role.

The Sukhoi Su-30 is a highly-agile military aircraft developed by Russia's Sukhoi Aviation Corporation in 1996. It is a multi-role air superiority fighter but can also play an effective role as a strike and offensive support aircraft. The aircraft is comparable with USA's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet and F-15E Strike Eagle

Codenamed `Flanker' by NATO, the twin-seat SU-30, a derivative of the Su-27, is a multi-role fighter bomber and air superiority aircraft which can also be used in the maritime strike role.
According to that website it is both.

Depends on which country is using it. It can be either multirole or aerial superiority fighter dependant on the crew and equipment each specific one carries. Every country that orders these aircraft asks for different equipment on them.
