The heavyweights of the fighting world collide as Capcom announces Street Fighter X Tekken

Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games today announced that Street Fighter X Tekken is in development for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®. The title will make history as fighters from these two bastions of the fighting genre come together for the very first time.

Utilising the same technology that powered Street FighterTM IV & Super Street FighterTM IV, TekkenTM characters such as Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams will make the transition into the Street FighterTM universe having been re-imagined using the much loved art style of these seminal titles; while retaining their unique characteristics and signature moves as they go head to head with classic brawlers from the Street Fighter franchise in what promises to be the ultimate match up.

As in Street Fighter IV, gameplay will feature fully realised 3D character models battling for domination in both new and familiar highly detailed 2D environments that are brought to life with engaging animations. In addition to modes such as Versus and Training that will feature new enhancements to make the fighting experience more in-depth and enjoyable, Street Fighter X Tekken will include Tag Team combat where players select two fighters to deliver knockout assist attacks and special combos.

The announcement, which took place at Comic-Con in San Diego in front of thousands of Street Fighter fans, was made by the Producer of Street Fighter X Tekken, Yoshinori Ono, and Tekken series Director, Katsuhiro Harada. Commenting on the origins of this project Yoshinori Ono said: “This is history we’re making. Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage. This isn’t just a showdown between Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and Namco Bandai Games. So I’m going to give it my all.”

Street Fighter IV takes Best Fighting Game at Spike VGA2009

Well can’t win them all, not that Tekken 6 has won anything to my knowledge. It makes me wonder though, Tekken/Virtua Fighter have always done poorly in the states (ratings wise), where Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat have ranked well. What could have happened if there was a Mortal Kombat title up for vote. We all know how much of a piece of trash MK vs DC was… These type of awards are more based on popularity over technicality, take the GameFAQs battles, you could argue that X could beat Y hands down, but you get your fanboi’s coming in voting Sephiroth up… and so on.

Destructoid: The Street Fighter IV WTF blanket

Asmo posted a link to this on Facebook, and I couldn’t resist the temptation to post it here. What the hell were they thinking, I hope that wasn’t officially licensed.

The picture was taken by Twitter user withgandana from some store’s shelves stocking Snuggies, otherwise known as WTF blankets.

No word on whether the blanket will actually make you a better Street Fighter IV player. Oh, and it looks like the Street Fighter IV blanket is exclusive to Xbox 360 owners as the two douche bags on the cover of the box are holding 360 controllers. Sorry PlayStation 3 owners. Looks like you got screwed over again.
