Street Fighter X Tekken

The SFxT "pre-season" has been filled with all sorts of drama, anger, joy, anticipation, doubt, "Capcom hate", "Capcom love", controversy, and general hype. I must admit, it was pretty fun to follow all of the madness over the past 2 years. But, the pre-season is over. Time to ignore all the nonsense and focus on the game itself. As with any video game purchase (or any purchase, in general), there is only one question to ask: IS WHAT I GET WORTH WHAT I PAY? The answer is YES. Street Fighter X Tekken is literally THE most content filled Capcom fighting game EVER RELEASED. That is not hyperbole. This is a statement of fact. FEATURES: -Massive 43 character roster (38 characters for X-Box) is already worth the price of admission. Everyone should be able to find someone to play in this game. -Simplified control options help newcomers enjoy, while hardcore players can still find layers and layers of depth to explore. You don't have to be a pro player to find enjoyment here. -Training and mission modes help teach players the ropes. -Fast paced TAG TEAM action. This is not SF4. Don't expect it to play like SF4. It's a brand new ball game. -Customizable "Gem System" allows each player to modify their fighter's stats. Reflect upon your own strengths and weaknesses, and creating your fighting team. Personalize your experience. -Multiplayer modes allow for 1 player vs 1 player, 1 player vs 2 player, and 2 players vs 2 players. Up to FOUR PLAYERS can join in on the fun, simultaneously! Warning, scramble Mode will blow your mind... -3D CG endings for the people who complained about SF4's budget endings. -Fun character interactions! This IS Street Fighter vs Tekken, after all. In addition to the fights, it's amusing to watch the various cut-scenes and endings where iconic characters get in each other's faces for the first time. -Color customization options, with free DLC color packs planned for the future. -Lots of online modes, including lobbies, spectator, 4 player matches, and even ONLINE TRAINING MODE (<---awesome idea) -Capcom promises to support this game post release with DLC and a whopping $500,000 in tournament prize money over the year. This fighting game community is going to be hopping with excitement for quite a while. Capcom has put a lot of effort into this game, and it shows. Top players have tried the game out, and they've said it's one of the best fighting games in years. I don't know what else there is to say. You will get your money's worth here.

I was skeptical about this game because of the DLC fiasco...However I was wrong. The game is tons of fun and well worth purchase despise the whole DLC that Capcom pulled so read up. Good things: - Co-op Arcade mode....yes you can team up with a friend to play this game - Co-op Online - 2 to 4 player battle - 4 player battle screen (scramble mode...where 4 players can go at it at the same time) - High fun factor - Faster pace than Super Street Fighter 4 Bad things: - DLC customes, characters and gems Overall: The game is tons of fun to play with friends, the music is great, the online was fixed, the graphics are crisp and colorful, basically worthy if you want to have fun with a fighting game. I dont support Capcom's DLC practice so I will not purchase their DLC.....However the game is worth a try.

I’m a collector, somehow missed picking this up, great crossover title

Spring is almost here, and with three versions of Street Fighter IV and two installments of Marvel VS Capcom 3 in the rear-view, Capcom is unleashing the much ballyhooed Street Fighter X Tekken (hereafter SXT) to the frothing "take my money for a new hat!" fanbase of fighting games. Visually resembling Street Fighter IV, and playing like a hodgepodge of fighters past, SXT has the daunting task of appeasing Tekken loyalists and Street Fighter fanatics, which is about as easy as catching a bus ... that never stops. Wisely eschewing SFIV's methodical pace for something more manic, SXT biggest influences are Capcom's own Darkstalkers series, with its tap-tap-tap chain combos, and Namco's Tekken Tag Tournament, with its tag-out juggles and constant life management. Unlike Capcom's VS series, where each character on the team has to be KO'd before victory, SXT requires the defeat of only one member, so tagging haphazardly is a nice way to get to the back of the line. In addition to the accessible combo system and frantic tagouts, SXT also has gems, not unlike Marvel Super Heroes Infinity Gems, though in SXT's case, gems are set before matches and have unique unlock aspects and various attributes, from being able to tech out of throws to defensive increase to gauge boosting and so on. Can you disable these? No. Is it a worthwhile addition? To be determined. Currently, the game is too new to worry about balance, but the potential is certainly there for game-breaking nonsense. The most disconcerting aspect is Capcom plans on selling gem packs in the store, which could potentially tip the scales to players who pay to play better. It's a fine line that I wouldn't even want to walk, but Capcom seems ready dance on it. Regardless of your interest in the gem system, Capcom should have included a option to disable them. A lot of effort has seemingly gone into the gems and their balance; however, I'm sure purists would like the option to duke it out with fists and fireballs alone. Anyway, like any new fighting system worth its salt, SXT is packed with its own glossary. Behold, optic blast! I mean, term blast! Cross Arts, Cross Assaults, Cross Cancels, Cross Rush, Switch Cancels, Pandora mode, and the more widely known EX Specials and Super Arts. Does that jargon mean anything to you? Of course it does. My point is SXT has its fair share of new ways to pummel your opponent, and new modes to do it in as well. Two Player Pair Play is present, which is essentially co-op, where you and your friend team up to tag out. The PS3 version also allows you to play online against other teams. Along with Pair Play, SXT also features Scramble Battle, which roughly translates to Chaos Battle, or "Damn Dude What the *&$%" Battle. Instead of tagging, both members of each team go into battle simultaneously. Alpha 3 had a similar mode, but it was two on one; that's not nearly enough yolk for proper scramble. Anyway, what's important is the game is a lot of fun to play. Chaining combos and launching into tag combos and performing tag supers is just awesome. Zangief piling driving Kuma is awesome. The battle system is intricate enough for longevity but also simple enough for pick up and play have fun right away matches. It's Ryu versus Kazuya man. What's not to like? Well ... I would like more than 10 stages. I think that would be nice. Yeah, they're multi-tiered, but there's not Dead or Alive craziness going on. You'll feel like you've seen them all fairly quickly. One costume per character ... really Capcom? Oh wait. I should know better by now. But do Tekken players? Get ready to pay up to play dress up. The roster is just lacking. They're a lot of fighters out of the box, but the curious absences are magnified in knowing they're being held, on the disc mind you, as downloadable content. I want Lei Woolong now, damn it! The character specific dialogue is a nice touch, along with some team specific intros, but I would have liked to have seen a bonkers story mode with Mortal Kombat style cutscenes. It's Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom ... it's a once in a lifetime (or twice in a year, counting the Vita version) opportunity to craft the most gonzo story of all fighting games. All in all, it's better than it has any right to be, and the most impressive aspect is that in rolling various aspects of previous fighters into a one package, Capcom has created something inherently its own. Give it a go if you're a fan of the genre, but be mindful of the squeeze Capcom will put on your wallet when the inevitable Closet and Rest of Game packs are released. Until then, here's to Kazuya dropping Ryu in a volcano.

Trying to keep this short and sweet for the people who have yet to purchase this game. As others have stated, this game is probably more suited to "Street Fighter" fans over "Tekken" fans, but I believe any fan of the fighting genre would be happy with this game(as it is loaded with a variety of modes, characters, and a few original features, too). Although the online aspect of this game was basically broken when it was first released, that has since been fixed with a patch, and most of the online battles play wonderfully, with hardly any lag or slowdown. For $20 bucks, this game is a total steal, so even casual fighting fans would be wise to pick this one up. In fact, I'm a little surprised it's so cheap. Wish I would've waited six months :(

ジャケットが輸入版の方が良かったので、安かったのもあり購入したのですが、残念な事に字幕は英語字幕しか収録されていないのが非常に残念でした。 スパ4AEと、アルティメットマヴカプ3は日本語字幕収録で、スト鉄のPC輸入版の方のレビューにも日本語字幕可能とあったので、こちらも日本語字幕が入っていると予想して購入したのですが、PS3の輸入版の方は英語字幕しか収録されていなかったのは個人的に残念でならない。 それ以外は全て国内版と同じなので、ジャケット買い目的以外の方は、国内版の中古が安く買えるので、素直にそちらを購入した方が良いと思います。

Fighting game fans around the world jizzed themselves when Street Fighter X Tekken was announced in 2010. And after playing the game in 2015, I have to say that it lives up to most of the hype, but has a few flaws. The Pros: Excellent graphics, responsive fighting mechanics and stunning character designs. The Cons: The fight moves are unbalanced with the Tekken characters having far more combinations and attack moves than their Street Fighter counterparts. Also, the training mode could (SHOULD) have included a feature that demonstrated every attack and showed the players how it's supposed to look. Mashing the same buttons as the move list and not knowing if you're executing the move properly is a big let down. Especially when you're starting out. For the faulty training mode, as well as the slightly unbalanced roster strength, I'd say I wasn't completely blown away by the game. But I certainly enjoy playing it.

This game is just surprising i own soul caliber 2, Tekken Tag Team Tournament 2,Virtua Fight 5,project justice and Mortal Kombat 9 and Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, now this and i was pleasantly surprised because this is the first fighter i can not just play and easily find way through the game and just demolish anyone who ever comes over for some local or online multiplayer action this is very complex usually i don't care about which controller i use i just demolish now this game i must say it's better to play with the analog stick instead of the d-pad i never had a preference until now but Analog over d-pad all the way this is an amazing game with PS3 Exclusive which are awesome Cole, and those two Japanese comedy relief characters Toro and Kuro i say pick this up on PS3 if your new to fighting games, this is a pool you might be scared to dip your feet in but i say take the chance and swim because it's one heck of a ride and hey the online players are still heavy on the servers and may i add 4 player local Gameplay and yes that 4 Controllers at the same time on one screen kicking each others buttocks. Pffft Thank Me Later

Es la primera vez que compro en Amazon y estoy muy decepcionado. No es el producto que yo quería me entregaron un GREATEST HITS etiqueta roja. No es el juego con contenido exclusivo por el cual oferté y que tanto deseaba. Me da coraje que AMAZON quiera aprovecharse de la gente vendiendo cosas que no son las que aparecen en sus imágenes. Adiós AMAZON.

Great game, very fun to play.
