The genuinely great initial idea for SFxT was "Oh hey, we're going to make two separate games that use both styles of their respective series and have them crossover in a really cool idea since people have been wanting to see this crossover for a while." Then the game showed SF4 levels of slow speed, dumb gimmicks being inserted, game mechanics being terribly hosed, and a glitched up mess which was at that point comical as all get out. Oh and let's not forget the dumb console exclusive marketing that was going on too. Basically, what made SFxT a giant mess is Capcom's desire to riddle their new games with large amounts of unnecessary complexity rather than just go with the straightforward good idea of adapting the TTT style of tag mechanics and Tekken characters to the SF style.

I can only hope Tekken x Street Fighter will be better, but Harada's said to expect the girls of TxSF to be very cutesy, so gimmicks are definitely going to be a thing.

Yes, Tekken x Street Fighter was announced back when SFxT was. It's been far more downplayed though because the game was announced two years ago when TTT2 was the biggest thing Harada was working on at the time, so the game's only about 10% done currently, don't expect to hear anything about it until next year probably.

Although Harada has already stated a plan he has for the game.

If you're looking for tons of single player content then Blazblue or Persona 4 Arena are your best bets. I'd choose the later as it's actually an okay game, but Blazblue has a ridiculously long storlyine and other poo poo like score attack, Unlimited Mars (You basically fight Super versions of the characters), and Abyss which is basically fight until you reach the lowest level and you can upgrade for character stats and whatnot.

What I dont understand is that the American Capcom games have the good button config (3SOE, HDR, DSR, etc), but the Japanese ones have the bad button config (SF4, MvC3, SFxT). Is it really some kind of crazy cultural difference that Japan likes lovely button configs?

Japan likes to use O on a Playstation controller as their confirm button and X as a cancel, that should tell you everything really.

I can't be the only one who thinks that SF4 looks like garbage visually compared to Third Strike.

There are a lot of people who think this. 3rd Strike is a game with a lot of great presentation and animation. Characters are lively and pop out at you, the music is unique and all of the sprite animations are fluid and look fantastic such is the benefit of the engine it's crafted on. While I agree 3S is better looking than SF4, the aesthetics of SF4 are also very good. Characters 3D models are faithfully adapted from the old 2D sprites, motions look great, and due to it being in 3D faces are now a lot more detailed allowing for goofy poo poo like eyes bulging out of heads and seeing Akuma turn into a twister.

Which one you prefer is of course up to you, but I think most people can agree 3S looks better.

Also Eddie is Zato=1 again? Can someone who's kept up to date on the story explain this?

Eddie is the symbiotic creature that ate Zato-1 and took over his body. The reason Zato became Eddie is because Zato's voice actor died, but now they've brought him back. The reason for this seems to be his soul was pulled back by the Senate, but Zato's soul is apathetic and unresponsive. The Senate locks him up until they can use him and Zato only responds to anything when he sees Millia.

The actual reason they're using Zato again might have to do with them kind of going back to GG1 in terms of some aesthetic choices. Axl's got his denim stuff back and looks a bit more muscular, Sol's got All Guns Blazing back, and well, literally every base character from GG1's roster is in the game except for Kliff.

I said why in at the end of that first paragraph dude. The senate brought him back to use him for their goals, but can't because his sole is apathetic and unmoving unless Millia is involved.
