So it seems Street Fighter x Tekken has been forgotten

[Uzumaki Goku]

I remember this was announced... they were making two versions one that plays like Street Fighter and one that plays like Tekken... (that is assuming that Tekken x Street Fighter ever gets released) It seems the gems system was what killed this game competitively or the fact that a hacker was able to access all the DLC characters before they were properly released, not to mention... they like to say Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat can't cross over because they don't match... yet, Street Fighter is a 2D game that relies on inputting fireballs and special moves while Tekken is a 3D fighter that revolves around martial arts and no special moves like fireballs... I don't see how that matches up anyway.

 

[Gradon]

I feel like I was the only person in to world to like SFxT lol.

TxSF is definitely cancelled.

 

[ProstatePuncher]

SFxT got forgotten about because its balance was real stupid, and it had the absolute rubbish gem system involved, with Capcom trying to push it into having esports competitions on their rules, which would involve gems.

Its best forgotten.

 

[Magneto]

No one asked for Street Fighter X Tekken in the first place. It wasn't a bad game in my opinion, but Capcom needed a flop to realize that the FGC wasn't going to eat every kind of shitty practice they could make up.

 

[Hanbei]

Street Fighter X Tekken happened. It had its chance, and Capcom ruined everything with the gem system. It's Tekken X Street Fighter that has been on hiatus for years that I am still waiting for.

Gem system when untouched in the preset builds was fine

 

[Brazil]

Everyone could see from five miles away that the gem system was some dumb shit. Lo and behold.

The hatred the game got for the on-disc DLC in 2012 is hilarious in retrospect, though, considering the obscene monetization practices that we've all accepted as part of the business since then.

 

[Tbm24]

Patched SFxT is a very solid game imo. Shame few stuck around for it. The character models were...mostly great.

 

[Roliq]

The situation with the DLC characters was the worst part like how scummy was to show Cody and Guy at the end of the third trailer if they weren't in the base game, the part of them being already in the game and the 5 exclusive characters to Playstation, granted 3 of them were Sony characters but Megaman and Pacman being exclusive was a pretty asshole move

 

[Strangelove_77]

I really liked it, but I only played against the computer so a lot of it's flaws were lost on me.
I liked the Tekken characters in the SF4 art style.

You're 100% right. I'd gladly take SFXT post patch over any version of SF5/SF4.

I never got to understand how the systems worked. You see all these combos online and I have no idea how to translate that into a game plan.

I think Tekken x Street fighter will release this decade. And if Harada gets his will through, it could end up being Tekken x every-other-fighter even.

I don't see how that matches up anyway.

Someone hasn't played Tekken 7.

 

[EggmaniMN]

I actually just remembered it yesterday, installed the community patch that bypasses the GFWL garbage on the PC version and had a blast. Post update the game was really good and better than SF5 for the vast majority of SF5's life so far and miles more fun than end of life SF4. The trials are still fun to run through. I really enjoyed the translation of Tekken characters to an SF style too. Fantastic job all around.

another fuck up by Capcom.. those gems system killed the game.

 

[Zeta Ori]

Honestly played SFxT a ton, really enjoyed it. Being able to make custom color palettes for the characters was something I wish more fighting games would do.

Also, the DLC outfits that put each franchises characters in outfits inspired by the other was amazing.

Heihatchi Sodom and Ibuki Yoshimitsu were two of my favorites:

Edit: Looking back, yeah some of these are 🔥

One of my greatest gaming disappointments ever. Coming out of SFIV and especially Marvel 3, SFxT was my most anticipated game. It looked delightful. But then Pandora was revealed and that looked... underwhelming and unnecessary but not a complete deal breaker. But then when the gem system was revealed I immediately wrote it off and never even bothered playing it. I had already resigned interest, so when the fully playable and fully, or at least mostly, finished DLC characters were hacked, it was just a riot to watch unfold with more dirt being shoveled onto the coffin. Also, given how busted and pay to win the Ultimate Defense gem was, it was obvious that completely disregarding the game was the right move.

I would still be interested in some significantly retooled Razor's Edge version of the game, but it really does seem completely forgotten and left to die as a legacy game since SF games released before and after it still keep getting attention.

Nope the character dlc stuff, the game being jank as fuck on release, and evo being a super shitty 2v2 format killed the game

This deffinitely reads like someone who never played the game before, all those "noob helper" gems people cried about were super shitty

 

[Konosuke]

Harada is right, there's no room for the game now even if the install base is huge.
This would be a nice launch game instead of TTT3.
Maybe if it had been a PS4/XO game it would have been better received

"both franchises are highly successful right now, so... there's no opening to bring both together"


because in this day and age crossing over a bunch of successful things into one could never work

You mean Tekken X Street fighter right? That one is completely forgotten.

 

[criteriondog]

The game without gems was so much fun.

Also Cole was my favorite character to play.

I don't have the quote at hand, but I remember Harada saying he'd love to do a cross-over with all the fighting games. Personally, I'd love a game like that with Tekken style gameplay.

 

[Vimes]

This game deserves a second chance, with the gems removed. All the other systems are great, playing tag with 4 players is tense, and the adaptations of the tekken characters are genius.

The only reason I'm pulling for Tekken x SF to still happen is it would give Cap an opening to revisit SFxT.

Gems killed it for me, but I liked the game without that !

If anything it only feels more plausible given how well Akuma worked in Tekken 7

 

[sibarraz]

I think that a new game couldn't work because there is not that much overlap between both franchises. I know that the FGC is known for playing more than one game, but I feel that even though there is a big overlap between 2d and 3d fighters players, in the end you will never please everyone with an Street Fighter vs Tekken game, so there is no point in making a crossover with both games. Harada once said that it would be a terrible idea to see him develop a Virtua Fighter game, because if he hired the entire AM2 staff, the second that people see Namco's logo, vf fans would hate it

Compare this with Capcom vs SNK, even though both games have huge differences on how they design their games, the core basics are practically the same, and in the end the game is loved by most people on both fanbases.

This was the video I saw years ago about the assist gems that further underscored my decision to avoid SFxT. Nothing about these assist gems looks "super shitty." Being able to totally negate cross ups and mixups for minimal meter usage while just walking forward? That sounds (and looks) pretty damn useful.

 

[Deleted member 69222]

To me, SFxTK was a great celebration of Street Fighter and Tekken.
People had issues with its balance or whatever, but still, the game was fun and had cool character interactions in the story mode.

Who knows if TKxSF will happen in the future, but if it did people should not take it seriously, otherwise they will be disappointed again.

If you want serious fighting play Street Fighter OR Tekken.

 

[AllMight1]

I played it a lot with a roomie that loved all fighting games, on a very casual level.
It was good but i'm waiting for the true king of fighters TxSF

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It sucks that so much good work was done into translating Tekken characters into the Street Fighter style of combat and it was all stuck in one shitty game

This is why there are usually two games in such crossovers, one by each developer, in the style of each individual game.

As I said the original game before the 2013 patch was pretty fucking bad so you didn't miss much there. The problem was they got burned so hard by everything that when they finally patched it to the level it should have been at release it was too late and everyone word of mouthed the game out of existence pretty much.

 

[RealTravisty]

Yeah, I wish they gave it another chance for current systems. I can't deny that Capcom really messed up, though.

 

[Giga Man]

A great concept that Capcom completely screwed up. I'm happy it brought Elena back for a while, though.

Anybody remember Cross Assault? Not the in-game mechanic, the "reality show."

 

[Zyrox]

SFxT was great, imo especially after the 2k13 patch. Had a huge roster and they put a lot of love and care into translating the Tekken characters over into a 2D environment. Sure, pandora was practically useless and the gem system was wack but ultimately these things didn't affect the core gameplay that much.
I also love how the game had online coop. Did a lot of that with a buddy and it was really fun.

 

[Mugy]

So, was the updated/patched final ver. of this game any good? i used to love watching videos on YT of some pros playing it, Kazuya looked great to me
