Screenies look abit meh the style is abit weird. Vids do the game alot more justice and looks pretty nice. Wonder how the other game is getting on?

you need to view the screenshots on either your PS3 or Xbox 360 because the PC renders the image way too sharp and way too detailed for a game that is designed for a certain resolution unlike what a PC desktop monitor renders.

Damn I got rock hard for Poison, she made my background image, Yoshimitsu looks great too, this is looking like a day one purchase.

To bad Poison is actually a guy.

Heard and seen nothing but great things from this game.

Sort of.

You can blame America for that...

Not for nothing, but SF 4's producer(3:44) said that Poison wouldn't be in SF 4 bec it'd be too confusing for region-specific genders.

But now she's in here, contradiction?

What's the story behind Poison?

Why is America to blame?

What the hell are "region-specific genders?"

This is from Wikipedia so take it for what it's worth.
According to the book All About Capcom Head to Head Fighting Games, the character was originally planned to be female, but was changed to a transvestite (or more specifically "newhalf") due to the suggestion that "hitting women was considered rude" in America and the concern that feminist groups would sue.

Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono, when asked in an interview about the matter, stated "Let's set the record straight: In North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female."

Either way she has/had a penis.

I wish we got a chance to see the companion title for this. Isn't there a Tekken x SF game being made by the Tekken peeps too?

zomfg Poison IT'S POISON!!! Finally she's in a game!!! Damn I've been waiting for it for so long, since street fighter-3 in fact. More than 10 years!! Damn.... Wish she was in a Tekken vs. Street Fighter though, instead of this one, because this graphics is just terrible... But better than nothing I suppose.

BTW I mostly prefer Tekken chars and I enjoyed Kaz+Nina kicking this pathetic ryu ass in previous trailers, but king and craig defeating Hugo and Poison like this, it's a bullshit...

anyone know if cole from infamous is going to see an appearence on the PS3 version? or is he vita exclusive?

There is but according to Harada it's not a started project yet. They are going to release Tekken Tag Tournament 2 first, then start on Tekken x Street Fighter. Don't expect a 2012 release :P

Looks like Cody made the cut! Now I am all set.

When they released Final Fight (around 1990), they thought Americans wouldn't be ok with hitting females, so they made her transgender.

So more like blame Japan for assuming what other people wouldn't be ok with.

Also, what a fucked up view to have that while hitting women is wrong, hitting trannies isn't.

This game just need Yun and I'm all set for it. Also, is it me, or this game seems to have more juggle than previous SF titles? Maybe this is the counterpart from Tekken.

Watch Justin Wong play this game. It's pretty slick looking already. This game will be mine.

This game caught me completely off guard, too. I like SSF4, but I find the direction they're taking most of their franchises (especially Versus) a little disappointing.. and I'm really not into Tekken.. but dang, this looks great.

Cole is in both versions (ps3 and vita).

Just looks like more Street Fighter tbh. I mean the Tekken characters will play nothing like they did if i know anything about the SFIV system. If you like the combo heavy style of SF though i guess this must look awesome.

Yeah. I don't like this because of anything Tekken. I like it because it looks like a serious versus game.. the sort of stuff that happened prior to MvC taking it way over-the-top.

The stuff from NCR9 was fun to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KttayDZimXQ

Note: test version, unknown to players, still looks pretty terrific imo.. that's a random video but Justin Wong was tearing it up.

That's kind of the idea.

Wait for Tekken X Street Fighter for the Tekken slant if that's what you want.

I am, though that will take ages to release. Guess i'm just not sure what crowd this is for...i mean the SF fans would probably rather have a new SF game and the Tekken fans are just waiting for TTT2 anyway. I'm sure there's a segment that crosses over but i can't imagine that is such an attractive segment that it's worth making a game over.

First video pretty much confirms it though, 4 characters all from SF in the first match :P

They should just have made Tekken x VF or SC. SF x KoF. Games that play kinda similar you know.

Yeah, agreed. Stuff like MvC3 can fuck right off. Spend 30 minutes praticing your death combo and bam, you are golden.

Well, especially in the case of Justin Wong: What did you expect? :P Pro SF player at tourny playing SF game picks SF characters! Shocking!

SFxKoF? You'd get no arguments here, but we've been down that path already. It's also one of the best Capcom fighters ever made :)

I just think a LOT of the players in SFxTekken will pick SF characters because it will mainly be SF fans that plays the game. There's probably a reason why NiN and Holeman weren't there to play (or maybethey were?).

I mean, you wouldn't make a Gran Turismo x Mario Kart crossover for the same reason, they just don't mesh well. One side will completely take over. As a tekken fan i see no reason, brand loyalty aside, to pick this game up. The same frustrating poke-to-combo gameplay formula that SF has, and that hugely puts me off, is still there. What i don't understand is what crowd they are catering to. SF fans that like the tekken characters? Casuals?

Make SF x Guilty Gear so that i can use Sol and Potemkin in the ultimate tag team of death to smash Ryus face in, that i'd buy.
