Fernando's POV: I badly want Capcom to turn things around with SFxT, but it's not looking promising. They still have not done anything to make fans believe that these changes will fix the timer issue and Pandora mode is still a joke. I hope I am wrong, but I think gamers will just stick with AE v.2012.
