We're in a strange world where GameSpot is the highest review.

On a better note, looks like most of the subpar reviews are all the tiny irrelevant reviews that pad out the metascore. Oh, and GamesRadar, who used to be king of reviews but in the past hear and a half has sunk to the cesspool.

Should probably end up right around SFV.

That should dispel the silly notion that Gamespot somehow hates Nintendo and the Wii U.

Well it's always a case of "reviewer no like genre, reviewer give bad score" in GS's case. I was just making a joke about the state of affairs here. 

 

It sounds like it's a good game with some actual problems worth considering, mostly with balancing the air game (there's no way to get out of air combos/attack while in the air after being hit, apparently). Which is about what I expected. Whether that justifies an aggregate score lower than an  incomplete competitor that came out a month prior is up to debate. In fighting game terms obviously SFV wins mechanically but not a single review seems to care about mechanics as much as what casual fans will think. That's the only real reason I'm questioning the reviews right now.
