Street Fighter X Tekken

Well, he is the bad guy, so he can't get beaten in the intro, now can he?

True.

They're putting Japanese seiyuus for all the Tekken characters? Anyone can guess who Nina and Bob's seiyuus are? Marduk's a bit too hard to predict now.

And apparently King growls differently now.

I've got my fingers crossed for a few characters, like Lili, Steve and Anna. I'd love to see how they play in street fighter style.

Interviews mention they'll be making the gameplay more aggressive to better accommodate Tekken players, and even allow for a four-button configuration. Hell yes.

Cammy is confirmed.

Awesome! She's my best character in SSFIV. Makes me wonder how different the street fighter characters will play from their last appearance, though. Time to analyze all the gameplay footage again.

Julia's here.

Jaycee will be her alt. and she'll summon T.Hawk in some of her moves. Calling it now.

I really hope this doesn't turn into "the cast of Street Fighter IV vs Tekken." It's looking that way.

Though I wouldn't say no to either Gen, El Fuerte, Dudley, Dee Jay, Honda or Makoto as they were in IV.

Huh? Abel's currently the only member from IV here. Everyone else are classic staples of the series.

In IV's style. You never know: the tried and true Capcom method of crossovers is to use the general models from the most recent games - hence why so few crossovers had characters from 3.

Granted, this probably won't be copy and paste anyway, but the heavy usage of IV's style makes me wonder if they won't be going only with characters they've already treaded in this form.

I hope not.

Capcom: You were expecting someone like Karin or Elena in this game?

Too bad. Waluigi Time Evil Ryu.

Hey, Evil Ryu is Bad Ass.

Evil Ryu can go die in a fire for all I care. Him and Oni. And all of the other "powered up Shotos" flowing out of the wazoo.

Evil Ryu is in the Tekken version. No word yet on if he's in the version that Cammy was just confirmed for.

^ He's also been around for a good while - he's not exactly new.

Wait, Julia? Why would they add such a minor... Oh right. There's a native-american girl named Julia in the Tekken series too. Small world.

Wonder who they'll unveil next. Chances are The Unexpected won't be revealed until we have at least half the roster down.

Perhaps even Skullomania?

Doesn't Arika hold the rights to Skully?

I may have said this already, but I just want Zangief and Kuma. DREAM MATCH

I love how the trailer tries to make it sound like this was something people had been anticipating instead of the head scratcher it is.

I don't care if its too late now, Virtua Fighter still makes mores sense for Tekken.

^ Well, I've certainly been thinking about it for a while, given that these were the two fighting games I was exposed to the most when I was a kid. And a lot of people I know have been thinking of something like this ever since Rufus + Ryu = Bob.

I'll get it if Dan gets in.
...
Who am I kidding? I'm getting it period.

The Gief will not be denied from fighting his mortal enemy, BEARS!

I supposed that's the real reason this game was made.

I was always bugged that Kazuya, Heihachi and so many other fighting game leads use a form of the jumping uppercut and spin kick. At least they lack fireballs but it still.

Wait. Tekken has a bear as a character?
What?
