"What's considered good taste? 3rd strike?"
SFxT is the best capcom fighting game this generation.
While I would say it's on par with with SF4 and not better, I couldn't really disagree with anyone who felt it was their best. It's such a leap away from their usual formula while keeping a few familiar things. Shame they sent it to die(which was overblown in my opinion, but very predictable and a stupid move). Not only that, but they probably screwed up their relationship with Namco as well.
I was hoping they would release SFxT on Wii U at launch to be it's competitive 2D fighter, but that didn't happen.
