THE HEAVYWEIGHTS OF THE FIGHTING WORLD COLLIDE AS CAPCOM ANNOUNCES STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN

SAN DIEGO, CA — July 24, 2010 — 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 360® 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.

Utilizing 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, 2D gameplay will feature fully realized 3D character models battling for domination in both new and familiar highly detailed 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.”

Haha I was just about to post this.

They also announced that they are gonna port 3rd Strike with online play on PSN and XBLA.

This still doesn't make sense to me though. As a 2D fighting game fan, I'd rather it play more like SF then Tekken, but I dunno. That would just piss off the Tekken fans. I don't see a win/win with this game. You are gonna screw over one of the fan bases or even both of them. Meh, we'll see what happens.

Looks good. A lil' disappointing that we won't be seeing Namco Vs Capcom - as it covers the entire namco fleet of characters. No Mega Man vs Pac Man. Although I LOVED that bit at the end of the trailer! :D

Definitely only getting the SF one...

Looks pretty cool, Ryu has his mule kick bacK!!! lol...

Having Tekken character is good, but I'm not sure how balance is going to come into play, like the entire Tekken cast would be Rush down characters in SF4's engine, so I'm assuming SF4 vs. Tekken will really be an offensive game again and zoning/turtling won't be as important or effective as the current SF series.

Maybe Ken will be top tier again!!! wooT!!! looking forward to this one, SSF4 is too much of the same for me, starting to get tired of it finally after like 300hrs of play time...

I still think there needs to be Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat. That's the ultimate fighting mash-up.

I never tried to get into Tekken, but as a Street Fighter whore this pleases me. Sign me up for the Capcom version. Although I really enjoyed the SNK developed SNK vs Capcom Chaos but I don't even remember if that got a North American release.
