Game Update! Street Fighter X Tekken. (And my personal thoughts on the game)

Finally more news about the highly anticipated cross over game Street FighterXTekken has been announced! Not much on the game has been revealed until now. The first ten characters have been announced characters including :

    (Ryu Street Fighter) 

(Ken Masters Street Fighter)

(Chun Li Street Fighter II)

(Guile Street Fighter II)

(Abel Street Fighter IV)

(Kazuya Mishima Tekken)

(Nina Williams Tekken)

(Bob Tekken 6)

(King Tekken)

(Marduk Tekken 4)

So far the roster to me is pretty impressive. I'm glad to see Guile and Ken back in a game, since they were left out of Marvel Vs Capcom 3. For the first 10 characters to be announced, I'm surprised even though as of now the game looks unbalanced it still seems to work. For example you have characters like Guile, Ken, Ryu, and Chun Li who are able to throw fire balls and awesome sonic booms, against pretty much the entire Tekken cast who are more hands on close up fighters. Even with that, characters that don't use projectiles still seem to be able to handle themselves fairly well. We've all seen or used Abel a character in street fighter with no projectiles just grabs and strikes, take down some of the heaviest hitters i.e Akuma and Ryu online and offline.

That was the first rough video shown when the game was announced. Since that time a lot of progress has been made, with more details to be revealed at this years E3. For those that don't know there will be two versions of the games. Street Fighter X Tekken and Tekken X Street Fighter, what's the difference? Street Fighter X Tekken as you've seen from the video will both look and play like a street fighter game. Using the same engine and design as Street Fighter 4 did, while Tekken X Street Fighter will play more like a Tekken game. Along with Tekken X Street Fighter it won't be that cell shaded look as seen already, but the Tekken 3D look to game which should be interesting. Not much besides those facts have been announced or revealed for Tekken X Street Fighter, but when more news comes along I will keep tell you. 

 

While the game still looks a little rough, keep in mind it's still in its early stages. This is one of the games that I cannot wait for. Having been a fan of Street Fighter since I was a young kid and a fan of Tekken since a early age as well, to me this one of my dream games. The only thing that could make this game better to me was if Capcom decided to make it a Capcom vs Namco vs Nintendo game. That would be my ultimate game where I can place Power Stone characters, Street Fighter characters, Devil May Cry characters with Tekken, Soul Calibur and Pac Man! against Zelda, Metroid, and Earthbound characters! That would be the ultimate game...yeah

 

Who do I think should be in the game?

(Akuma Super Street Fighter II Turbo)

   Akuma would make for a perfect fit in the Street Fighter X Tekken universe. With his dark personality and Raging Demon, who wouldn't want to see Akuma take on Panda from Tekken. 

(Steve Fox Tekken 4)

 Steve Fox the boxer, what more can I say? Being one of my personal favorite characters in the Tekken series, he would honestly fit in perfectly with the Street Fighter cast. With his ability to dodge moves, while still being able to lay quick hard strikes it's easy to understand why he could stand up to any character...fire balls and all. 

(Juri Super Street Fighter IV)

Juri happens to be one of the best new editions to Street Fighter. With her unpredictable moves, deadly kicks and aggressive personality she's not afraid to stand up to anybody. Another one of my personal favorites, Juri would be a more then welcomed edition to the line up. I could definitely see her having something to do with the storyline. 

(Eddy Gordo Tekken 3)

    Eddy Gordo and his Capoeira would certainly be different. His unique fighting style would fair well against those in Street Fighter, it would be interesting to see him go against Elena another Capoeira fighter from Street Fighter. 

Other characters I would love to see in the game are :

• Makoto (Street Fighter III : 3rd Strike)
• Cody ( Street Fighter Alpha 3)
• Alex (Street Fighter III)
• Elena (Street Fighter III)
• Fei Long (Super Street Fighter II)
• Cammy (Super Street Fighter II)
• Sakura (Street Fighter Alpha 2)
• R. Mika (Street Fighter Alpha 3)
• M.Bison (Street FuiFighter II)
• Dudley (Street Fighter III)
• Panda (Tekken 5)
• Jin Kazama (Tekken 3)
• Hwoarang (Tekken 3)
• Paul Phoenix (Tekken)
• Marshall Law (Tekken)
• Lei Wulong (Tekken 2)
• Bryan Fury (Tekken 3)
• Lars Alexandersson (Tekken 6 : Bloodline Rebellion)
• Alisa Boskonovitch (Tekken 6 : Bloodline Rebellion)
• Julie Chang (Tekken 3)

There you have my picks and quick picks, what are yours? I will be posting more on this game as more news comes in. This is a game that remains on my radar and one that I will be waiting for. I will now leave you with this image.
