They were unnecessary, but again don't bring the game down. Street Fighter X Tekken is a great fighting game that feels somewhere between the more structured and serious play of Street Fighter IV and the craziness of Marvel vs. There are also Gems, which allow combos to be more accessible, among other things. The latest in the merger craze is Street. This gives you 10 seconds of fury to try to finish off your opponent and can make or break the fight. Much like the banking system, soon, all fighting games will unite under one banner. Street Fighter X Tekken gets another batch of Comic-Con screens today, mostly of Ryu getting beaten to a pulp by Kazuya and Nina.Meanwhile Namco is working on Tekken X Street Fighter, where all characters will fight in the style of Tekken which also means well be seeing them in a 3D arena. An addition is the Pandora mode, which you can activate if your character is almost defeated. Street Fighter X Tekken is fun for a wide range of players while still offering the complexity serious fighting fans have come to expect. The game modes aren't terribly inspiring, but their lack thereof doesn't detract from the enjoyment. Once one of your fighters loses though, it's game over. Gameplay revolves heavily around the tag-team style and fighters can be switched at any time, even during juggles and mid-combo, with perfect fluidity to carry on the move. The character roster is an even mix of both franchises and each character has their counterpart with whom a pre- and post-game dialogue develops. Overall, Street Fighter X Tekken is far more fun than most had expected, marrying the very best of both worlds to deliver the reigning champion of console beat-em-ups. It's a great idea that opens up a whole load of cross-franchise opportunities across several genres. Namco is also developing Tekken X Street Fighter, which will be in typical Tekken style.
Street Fighter X Tekken borrows the best elements from both games and mixes them into one fast-paced fighter in true Street Fighter style. Now gamers can have the best of two of these worlds in one game.Ĭapcom and Namco have combined their fighting franchises to produce the first instalment of a two-part crossover series. There are three types of fighting game enthusiasts in this world, and all argue over which is best - Street Fighter, Tekken or Mortal Kombat.
