I'm fine with the AI honestly. It is not really difficult, but it is challenging in a sense that you need to have a strategy such as timing your moves perfectly and accurately; I have defeated many bosses using this strategy. In fact, I actually prefer the AI in this game than in SF2 because it rewards talented players more than smash-to-win players. In SF2, as long as you have better equipments, you effortlessly win because that is how bad the AI is. In this game, having better equipments helps, but if you just randomly smash your buttons, there is a huge chance that you will lose.

Also, I do not necessarily think this is a P2W game, but instead a game of luck and patience. Because your equipments and upgrade currency (shadow energy) comes from random cards that you can buy, win from side-missions, or obtain from chests and the free card feature, you gamble on these cards and if you are lucky, your equipments will upgrade in no time or you'll just have to wait until you achive your desired results. Either way, they are not forcing you to buy rubies in order to gain better equipments. If you are impatient, then that is your problem. Besides, I do not believe the cards drawn are random and actually prioritize your main equipment, or equipments that are roughly the same power. However, I have no evidence for this and I am merely speaking from experience.

I do consider the game as unfinished. It has a lot of bugs and there are a lot of features that I like in SF2 that I wish to be implemented in SF3. Also, I really like most of the new features in SF3; I like the graphics, the new advance AI, the amount of new equipments that differs from each other (although you can tell which one is from which faction. This is a + for me.), unique unarmed combat and many many more. It is too early for us to judge this game, especially when its potential is much higher than that of its predecessor. Despite this, however, I prefer SF3 than SF2.
