So it seems Street Fighter x Tekken has been forgotten
- Thread starter Uzumaki Goku
- Start date
Somehow, this character on the right reminded me of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
The fact that Capcom had dropped Ultimate Marvel later the same year as the barebones vanilla model and then dropped this game with the gems system and on disc dlc (which at the time was a big deal) made me completely doubt their logic. I'm fine with them again now but that was definitely a rough patch.
I really liked the interpretations of the Tekken characters in Street Fighter. Was really fun to play Jin, Heihachi, Kazuya in 2D. The game post patch was also quite good. Shame it died early.
Nah, Tekken X MK
Leave Capcoms fighting games out of this. They need to figure there own shit out first
been eyeballing this game on steam lately since ive seen some cheap offers.....I had fun with this game, especially after the big patches.
Post patch version is pretty good. I personally loved how all the tekken characters were translated. It was bright and cartoony. I always wanted a sequel so they could had did more tekken characters. And maybe spruced up the SF models (which at the base are the sf4 models, I assume). All the tekken ones looked better to me.
I did hate the neon colors though.
As for TKvsSF, I hope that just morphs into some type of "VS" type 3D game with more that just sf and tk characters.
again, just my opinion, I'm not really super feeling the 2d characters in Tekken 7 and how they play in relation to the rest of the cast.
make their VS style 3D game and just go ham at that point, more final fantasy characters, put Neo and Hancock and Akuma and JCVD and super powered up devil Jin, dude from yakuza, chuck norris, Deadpool. Idk., haha.

The Tekken team has shit their pants for about a year straight. Don't think T7 has been in a good place since early-mid Season 2, and the community is as toxic as it's ever been. There's much shit to figure out for all involved.
But I don't think an MK crossover with anything makes much sense. NRS either develops it (and it will suck) or the other company makes it (and it will be a pointless game).
Obviously I would never think it would happen, it's just a dumb idea that would only satisfy me haha. Mixing my two favoruite fighting game franchises together.
Tekken Gameplay and soundtrack and the mortal kombat story mode, additional modes, graphical quality, voice acting, character designs (especially for the horrific Tekken designs) and customisations (plus netcode)
And completely playable on the 360 version if you edited a simple file on the disc.
It was the weirdest DLC situation.
Mortal Kombat not matching Street Fighter thing is more people not wanting to see characters like Sakura or Ken get their heads ripped off or something I think. Doubt capcom would ever allow that anyway.
Too bad about SFxTekken. I loved that game and spent hours playing it with a couple of friends for 2 or 3 months after launch before they got tired of it. I think the on disc dlc was probably what did the most damage.

Real take here:
SFxT got really good and fun on its last update and it really deserves a second chance.
My man Ono screwed the game really hard at release with the DLC being in the disc, the gems and the bugs.

Competitively, no. Akuma, and 2D characters in general, have been very bad for Tekken.
If anything it makes me want Tekken x SF less. Especially considering how shitty Tag mechanics were on Tekken Tag 2.
I loved being able to play 2v2 online with a friend. I wish more fighting games let me do that.
Said it before, said it again, I continue to be stumped at how Sony basically got away with no blame for the on-disc DLC fiasco + five exclusive characters. The whole thing was basically a ploy to sell Vitas and the Vita version of SFxT, yet Capcom took all of the heat for it.
Did they ever allow to play Gem-less? I can't even remember...
Really hated the way the game looked. Like it was dragged through mud or something. Should've toned that look down a bit.
The Tekken characters were pretty fun to play in that style though, I did like that. There was definitely some care and attention put into all those characters. Just an ugly filter/art directions thrown ontop.
Honestly, I'd be down for a sequel day 1. Sure they messed up with DLC and gems, but I think there is scope to refine the general gameplay. Or just scrap gems entirely next time, have a prettier looking game, extra characters and none of the exclusive character BS. Even shift it to a Capcom vs Namco game, much like XvSF went into MvC. Either way, I'd like to see a new game.
Reinstalled it on PC recently but haven't booted it up yet. Perhaps today!

That shit was so fun lol.
I don't even want TxSF at this point.
Gimme SFxT2
I loved this game on the Vita. The best ever D-Pad + Lots of cool characters. I probably played it more than any other 2D fighter other than 3rd strike. Obvious criticisms would be gems and pandora. Arcade mode was a lot of fun in this all around great for casual fans.
It is actually surprising how little care there is for SFxT coming back. People definitely still want TxSF in some form just to even out the collab. But SFxT seems to be a case of "Well it had its chance, we can just move on". As I always see more interest in MvC or even CvS.
With all of that said, I think a rerelease sans the gems would be interesting to see. As that might be enough to get people interested.

DLC being on-disc was never as big an issue as people made it. The actual issue was them time-locking the DLC to the Vita version for 5 months or however long.
Even during the game's heyday only two people in the entire world knew how to play the game to it's potential.
We tried to tell them, but they wouldn't listen

Tekken x Streetfighter becoming "harder to justify" says Harada
Via VGC: It's over, folks.

Yea it seems so...
Playing Tekken characters with SF gameplay was SO great! It should come to PS4, I find it hard to play fighting games with casual friends because they can do nothing and it gets boring for them, and if I recall correctly there's a very easy combo solution implemented in this game.
More like an interest to get burned when things go south once again.
But yeah, SFxT is basically the red headed step child of the bunch.
I honestly really liked the zany characterization that they gave to the reps. Everyone was overacting personality wise and I loved all of it XD.
It was very good. The game was never "bad". Matches just ran too long before the patch, which could sometimes undercut the excitement of a match. Honestly, the biggest problem with Street Fighter X Tekken was the monetization model they were attempting to use. It was too scummy (they had every intention of selling gems that could give people a competitive advantage), got all the backs up of the entire FGC, and doomed the game to failure (before it even released).
I love the game too, but it got bashed because it was a mess on release. It got into a media shitstorm as the DLC characters was on disc. You had to buy the good gems and some were unbalanced. Balance/damage was out of whack and led to a lot of timeouts which was boring to look at in tournaments.
The final product is great imo, but noone cared by that point because of all the bad press it got in the start.
Pandora gimmick was a waste
Damage was out of whack because people kept using scaled tag combos instead of optimizing their play. There's a reason why SethLOLOL and Infiltration were largely the only ones who were winning tournaments.
I liked it a lot.
The tekken characters in SF worked great. It has the funniest mega man ever, I liked playing as Toro and it was overall broken fun.
The thing I hate the mosy about it is the visuals. They look so damn bad.

This is diminishing Coolkid and Kelvin Jeon way too much. But yes, the only problems with timeouts and damage were due to people lazily doing cross rushes. It reminds me of MVC3 pre-release, except the community didn't bother figuring the game out post-release.
It didnt help that part of the meta on the first version of the game was "jab, walk forward, repeat"
