I see only one thing that bothers me.
The artdirection is from SF4, weird proportioned bodyshapes, why!?

But knowing Namco will create their own version of Tekken X Street Fighter might have a bit more cooler artdirection, more towards realistic.

But I find it weird how both companies are doing different versions though, quite...unique I guess.

Can't wait to see how it goes.

Also this...

Street Fighter Cross Tekken will be done in SFIV visual style with Street Fighter 2D gameplay.
Tekken Cross Street Fighter will be done in Tekken visual style with Tekken 3D gameplay.

In other words, they're not attempting to compromise the two extremely different types of gameplay... they're merely using each title to highlight strengths in either franchise and adding to the roster with the addition of the other cast.

Gameplay footage!

I am not into fighters, but this is litterally hands down THE best fucking fighting game I have ever seen.
Two of the biggest fighters going head on head, fans will collide as much as their characters will!
I will definitely buy this day 1 no doubt about that.
I also love the audiance reaction considering it was pretty much how I reacted LOL.

It seems like a better option to have both companies supply a version that suits their fans, than try to do a mashup of both games that would probably suck.

The reaction to this news from most hardcore fighting games fans has ranged from negative to indifference.

I appreciate we’re on graphicsyde. But how about the fact Street Fighter and Tekken play nothing like each other and have gameplay built on entirely contrasting principles?

Becasue they haven't copy-pasted the goddamn characters from tekken. The way Kaz moves in that movie, it looks NOTHING like tekken. I recognise the movies but they are totally streetfighterified to accomodate the 2d perspective and tempo of SFIV. By that logic it must have been a balancing nightmare when they made SSFIV as well, i mean holy fuck, there was like 10 characters new for SFIV!

If anything i'd say it'd be harder to take a SF character and their signature moves, expand their what...15-20 attacks to somwhere between 60 and 120, then somehow balance out their ridicuolous bloody hadoukens and shit to fit with the Tekken style of play. I mean, with a Tekken cahracter you ahve a huge set of moves that can be brought in, trimmed down and modified to work reasonably, i just don't see how they are going to do that the other way without the SF characters losing just about everything except their looks.

The movie is CGI so not actual gameplay. Kazuya retains similar attacks based on the gameplay footage demonstrated at ComicCon though.

Hence why there are TWO games. this one modeled after street fighter and developed at capcom, and Tekken X Street Fighter modeled after tekken and developed at NBGI. This game will play like street fighter and the other will play like tekken.

so then whats the point really? how many SF fans want SF characters not to play like SF? How many Tekken fans want tekken characters not to play like Tekken?

Sure, having reconisable characters in a games good.. but it's kinda pointless if those characters dont play like the game they're from really. Abit like Gears of War characters in Lost planet 2.. you play as them and just end up thinking how much you'd prefer lost planet to play like Gears of war.

Maybe it's just crazy enough to work. But i think it will be hard to pull off to the extent that both game's fans are satisfied... which maybe makes more sense to having 2 versions

Ok so before the problem was oh how do you make these two very different series work together.. and now that you learn both approaches will be brought to the table the problem is whats the point?..glad you at least saw the point by the time you finished typing that up. In this case..2 series, 2 sets of fans...2 versions catering to each is the best option and it makes the most clear sense.

The last Street Fighter I really played was probably sf2 on snes. Tekken's been my fighter of choice for almost 15 years now. I was thinking about buying sf4 (or ssf4 later), but I thought I wasn't gonna be good at this game after so many years and sentiment alone wasn't enough to buy the game, but sentiment + tekken characters now that's a deal. So you see, it's not so pointless. I don't even have to mention that the other game (made by namco) sounds even better for me. Tekken + SF characters as the new cast ? Day 1 buy.

Tekken was played out 5 years ago. SF was played out 10 years ago. How about something........ NEW??? A new franchise. A new series, from a new developer. How about.. a NEW fighting game? Jeez, I'm so tired of seeing the same rehash of 15 year old fighting games. Where are the Tao Fengs? Tekken, DOA, SF, VF, I'm so tired of them all. Fighting genre has been so stale for so many years. It needs to be revitalized with something new and different. Something more realistic and dynamic that actually takes advantage of the newer hardware. Still hoping for that day.

Yeah well that'll be the day I'll stop playing fighting games. Realistic fighting games are boring. That's the wonderful thing about most video games, they're only based on reality, but they're not realistic. Tekken is all I need. Fighting games are a bit like sport, you don't get bored with them. On the contrary, you enjoy them and get better and when you get better you enjoy them even more. I'll be playing Tekken for as long as they let me (by keeping the franchise alive) and I bet there's lots of Street Fighter players that can say the same thing about their game.

The fighting game series has been in a downfall until sort of recently. Why would any developer want to make an entirely new fighting game series when they are so unpopular? Maybe if enough of these new street fighter and tekken games revitalize the genre, then that might open the door to some fresh titles.

How much more can you use Capcom (main SF) characters without wearing the hell out of them? Seriously, Ryu, Chun Li, etc will be a million different games in just a matter of years.

Besides, Tekken sucks. And I still find it funny when people say MvC3 looks (graphically) worse than SSFIV/or this thing which is pretty much the same.

I'm one of those who want Tekken characters play like SF chars. I used to play Tekken before SF4 came out, but SF4/SSF4 engine is too much fun (the best fighting engine ever!) and the latest Tekken games were boring as hell due to juggling and randomness(T5 DR and T6). So it's nice to see all the cool Tekken chars in SF engine.
