Street Fighter X Tekken is for REAL!

Azure_sky

Does anyone know when the first dlc is due, even pics or themes?

Sairus

Free colour packs and quick combos are available for download now.
Costume are also up - €1 each or €13 for a full set of SF or Tekken.

April 10th will have Tournament Mode and fixes to the online sound issues - but you'll all be buying Skullgirls that day so it hardly matters.

The neon colours are horrid. So many bright yellow/pink monstrosities. Did see an Incredible Hulk scheme Hugo that was pretty rocking!

Placebo

just got around to playing this for the first time, i was under the impression the color changing would have more freedom, anyway....all in all its great fun

Street Fighter x Tekken on Vita isn't just a port of the console versions. Speaking at its Captivate event in Rome, Capcom confirmed that the Vita version will include twelve new playable characters. While the characters will eventually come to PlayStation 3 as downloadable content, players who connect their PlayStation 3 with their Vita will be able to unlock them immediately.

So if you buy the Vita version you get the DLC for free on PS3!

Thats actually pretty cool. They already bought the game twice.

What about those that buy it for the Vita and their 360?

No, Doomy.

You get the DLC "free"... if you spend an extra 290+ euro on a PS Vita (with necessary, proprietary memory card & a game).

Dreddybajs

Yeah that's what he said Kiki, you get it free.

Tough luck I suppose.

People still care about this silly game?

I played two games earlier, first one was against Fergus and Spider'sum****... kunts a 'B's already.... I had enough time to realise that the update fixed the sound before I got 'hammered' and ripped the game out of it's socket and flung it back in it's box. Laters, chumps.... maybe when the world is ending in a fiery blaze, I may just put the disk back in to replenish the bad memories and why it it is best to leave this world.....

I was in HMV over the weekend and had Street Fighter X Tekken in one hand and Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 in the other. I picked Street Fighter X Tekken and played it for the first time last night... I think I might have made a mistake.

What's the general opinion on this game here? I flicked back through a few pages but I mostly find comments concerning the dlc issues. Has anyone who played both think one is better than the other?

Doctor DooM

I think SFxT is all right. It's probably not fair to compare it to UMvC3 as that game is the second in a series and had an awful lot of balancing work done on it because of that. Nerfing of phoenix, removal of the damage dhc glitch, nerfing of X Factor, it all added up.

I'd prefer a lot of the core mechanics in SFxT but I'd guess UMvC3 is the better made game, if you get me.

James Howlett

Thanks for the reply.

I'm more of a casual beat'em up player and although I do like the tutorials and trial layouts presented in STxT I'll probably swap it out for UMvC3 as, from playing MvC3, it appears easier to get the hang of.

If you like MvC, there's no reason not to buy UMvC, it's cheap and there's a crap ton of new content.

The people who were moaning about it at the time are no where to be heard now and the game has a thriving scene.

Scavenger XIII

"Expert Input" gem has been announced, guess I'll shelve that massive post I was cooking up about using gems sensibly to fix the game. :pac:

Obviously the dirty beggars will probably charge for it but I'd sure vote for having it as standard on every tourney machine and all other gems remaining banned forever until the game dies(which should be any moment now).

Ramza

SFxT is ****

Doctor DooM

I've been playing it a bit lately, I hate playing charge chars in it. Buffering is difficult because you charge cancel if you try it.

I'm hovering between using Ryu, gief, Jin or just playing Parasoul in Skullgirls.

Placebo

ive only played the game twice, can some one explain why its crap. In general or is it the game mechanics/broken ?

Well, the PR handling of the game from the start has lead to a lot of bad sentiment against it. The locked content on the disc and the poor online experience, for example, although it's better now.

In game, there's a problem with time outs- even matches between top players will often run to time out. Most people reckon it's because red/grey health recovers too fast.

Hitstun is all wacky, leading to certain characters being able to abuse jab block strings. Plenty of people seem to hate that.

The gem situation. The rumours are the paid gems are superior to the ones in game, which really goes against everything FGs are built around. the tournament patch doesn't seem to have changed any minds on banning gems.

The game was shipped with a large number of bugs and infinites, such as Jins overhead juggle and Kazuyas infinite on large characters. The game also shipped with a very perciptible input bug, which is pretty awful for pad players.

Pandora and royal rumble mode were rendered completely weak, which I have to agree with Ultradavid on, probably because the mechanics are bad and had to be left nerfed to the point of uselessness or they would be hugely overpowered.

Basically, to me, the game was undercooked and shipped early, there's a lot of little stuff needs looking at. It's still fun, though.

Personally Farz, I'm cool with the whole gems/dlc/infinites thing. Doesn't bother me a bit, but I didn't buy the game.

My only bias against SFxT is that I got to play it early and it feels like a weird halfway point between SF4 (which I like) and Marvel 3 (which I don't like).

I simply didn't enjoy my time with it.

bush

The game is boring as ****.

chopperbyrne

I think it has the best fighting engine of any game currently doing the rounds, but some system designs, both UI and in-game mechanics are holding it back.

Those issues will probably be patched in time though.

2v2 Teams should be the standard format. Most fun by far.

Rob2D

Poor SFxTK. There's a great game in there somewhere, you just have to dig through so much ****e to find it.
