Dubious rumor: Tekken vs. Street Fighter in the works

Interesting idea, but I doubt this rumor is true.

:O

It would be neat, but one is a 2D fighter and one is a 3D fighter. How will that translate?

yep quite unlikely to happen

The issue is that one would have to change it's dimensions - Street Fighter on a 3D field has been proven not to work (EX anyone?), as has Tekken on a 2D field (Tekken 3 GBA). However, if this is true then a LOT of work will have to go into remapping and tweaking existing moves into the chosen dimensions.

And cheers for credit!

tekken isnt realy 3d, the main concept is still 2d based with the option to "dodge" into the screen. u just change the angle but you still face the opponent every time. 3d fighting game is such things like ehrgeiz.

and think that it would be a new game where characters are tweaked to function.

the real question is, both games in their newest versions have like.. 35 chars each? 70 chars?!?!!?!?

what the hell!!!

I doubt this is gonna happen... But the lead designer from Tekken mentioned he would like to do it when he was being asked about it during an interview over XBL..

OH SWEET MERCIFUL JESUS YES YES YES.
Please let this happen!

the question is... would it be 3d or 2d

Why would you post this blasphemy on the sabbath day?

Tekken vs. Marvel vs. Capcom

Very unlikely, but I'd love the idea. 2d or 3d I don't care, I'm sure Capcom would sort that out eventually, but I think the hardest part would be fusioning both gameplay styles together. Oh well, we can only hope :)

@ Exclusiveorgate my thoughts exactly but I wouldnt mind if the rpg was a re-release on PSn and xbla

I dont understand how this would work anyway. As mentioned, Tekken has side stepping which would not work well in a sf game. Also, it would be pretty unfair that ryu and others have projectiles while tekken characters don't. It really just wouldn't make any sense.

This would just be stupid. Comparatively, Tekken fighters are all just normal fighters. The reason MvC works is because both Capcom and Marvel have plenty of over the top characters. CvSNK obviously works too because they are practically the same type of franchises you're dealing with.

What's exciting about Tekken vs. Street Fighter though? Finally getting to launch Ryu into a juggle combo???

This isn't happening, and even if it was, it'd be a stupid idea.

I agree, this is pretty far fetched, even for a rumor. The two fighting games are too different in terms of gameplay, style, characters, controls, etc.. to be even developed into a new game. Now if it was Virtua fighter vs tekken then that would be a different story...

Law vs Fei Long I can't wait to see who the better Bruce Lee is

what if they keep the sidestepping only for the tekken characters while giving Street fighters the insane jump they have. Would be interesting if they could make a game like that while keeping it balanced.

this is going to happen... 2.5D to much hype not to do it all the fighting games are gonna try and combine to make money... all eyes are on capcom after sf4 it only makes sense for something like this to happen... im not sure if it will be any good but nothing capcom it will! if the game stinks its gonna be a big fried egg on capcom's face! not so much namco as they pretty much stink already... i hope this does work tho im open to all new fighting games but like i said if it stinks then im gonna laugh! but fingers crossed it doesnt just means more bloody time on my p3! oh dear!

They're Capcom. If they've given proper movesets to characters like Zero and Megaman they could definitely pull off the clashing of styles in this.

Also, it's possible that the Tekken chars just a sidestep in the 2-d plane-like Cody's dodge in Alpha or something (if that wouldn't create balance issues)

I still don' think this rumor is true-we'll see. ;-)

sorry i was meant to say 'i hope' this is going to happen

vs games are total garbage

Gross. I feel like I need to take a shower after reading that.

People want more Capcom vs. SNK and then this tidbit gets thrown at us? That's like getting served a veggie burger that you didn't ask for while dining at a steakhouse.

this is fake

i usually go on this site to READ "STREET FIGHTER"

i would happily go on SDTEKKEN or TEKKENZAIBATSU to READ "TEKKEN"

i registered just to comment on this stupid idea.... a dumb down version of tekken is not a pretty site... i own both games, and the way each game is played is totally different...

i HOPE this STUPID idea never happens EVER!

Lol street fighter players playing tekken? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Bogus, no way to mix a 3D fighter with 2D. Either way, one side would have to be completely revamped for the game to be in 2 or 3D, and frankly, SF in 3D. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy. And even if they made Tekken in 2D, they'd pretty much have to remake everyone's moves.

not seeing this happening. two diffrent game styles. then again who knows.

My 2 favorite fighting games. Both are totally different, I don't think this is gonna happen anytime soon

How could this possibly work? It would either be a 2D or 3D fighter and either way, one of the game's audiences would be alienated. I don't see this rumor holding much water.

Namco X Capcom was REALLY fun, and it was an excellent FF Tactics-style RPG, but when it comes to the nitty-gritty of actual gameplay mashing together between these two franchises, it would CERTAINLY be a project.

If anything, Namco should produce it. The same how in the SvC series, SvC Chaos was produced by Playmore (SNK) and it contained the same mechanics of SF but a twist in terms of art style and gameplay. This same principle could apply to NvC (Namco vs Capcom, lol), or TvSF (Tekken vs Street Fighter, lmao)

They could go both ways with this. They can SF-ify Tekken characters to have Super Moves, EX moves, faster overall, and such. Or, they could have SF characters be juggle based and no projectiles (They could throw some bullsh*it and say SF characters want to fight with skill and strength in a real tournament in the Story...) Although, Karin would feel SO at home in a Tekken game!

It would be a VERY different pace, but I think it has great potential to be a great mash up. I'd say go for it.

Also, on the 2D/3D fighting differences, it would have to depend on said development styles.

<i>Street Fighter on a 3D field has been proven not to work (EX anyone?)</i>

typical SFEX hate from some kid who's clearly too young to have ever played the game, as evidenced by the fact that you think SF has EVER happened on a 3D field much less in SFEX.

SFEX is SF4 with floatier jumps. super cancels work exactly the same, the focus attack is an advanced version of the guard break that doesnt take meter, and its 100% NOT 3D in terms of gameplay.

...hows that gonna work no one in tekken has fireballs and people say mortal kombat vs street fighter wont work that would at least make a lick of sense compared to thisi would rather see tekken vs virtua fighter at lest the two play styles mesh.

Not only to I agree that the two games probably won't mix well, especially without making sacrifices to gameplay on both sides, but I'm also not ok with Capcom flooding the market with so many IPs in such a short timeframe.

I would rather see them publish 1 or 2 awesome fighters than twice as many mediocre ones.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!!!

It's just a rumor guys clam down. jeez

we want CvS3 not this crap.

we want CvS3 not this crap.

I REALLY wanna see a new Darkstalkers game.

I mean,with the upcoming MvC3 and the hopefully DLC characters for SSF4,I got enough SF action :P.

Time for something new.

Tho,if the rumor is true,I'm really interested in how it will turn out.

oh hell yeah! can't wait to have eddy gordo show dj how capoera is done!

GOD NO!

this is rumor is bullsh!t

I hate tekken and its god awful combo inputs. If this kind of game ever gets made i will lose some of my respect for the best fighting game franchise.

Happy to see someone who think the same of me. Everybody hates EX, but a lot of things in SF4 are just adaptations of SFEX functionalities.

Otherwise, about the news, I don't know how Capcom would mix the 2 styles of gameplay.

I think the rumor is false, I can't quite remember but an attempt to fool the fans was already some time ago... wish I could remember, sorry guys.

capcom seems like they are on a good streak with fighting games lately...i wouldn't count them out for making sf vs tekken truly epic

It's going to be 2.5-D. :P

It would be more likely to be a small colaberation between the 2 companies like character costumes or even a single guest fighter than a full game between them.

the gameplay is too different to make it work. UNless they create something totally original that is niether tekken or sf u would end up having to butcher characters from one system to shoe horn them into another. HIghly doubt this is true but speculating is easy way to kill time inbetween exams.

#5: "Street Fighter on a 3D field has been proven not to work (EX anyone?)"

Street Fighter EX spawned multiple sequels and was overall roughly as successful as Street Fighter III. But the larger point isn't valid because it was essentially a "2.5d" game a la Street Fighter IV. You could not freely move in the third dimension.

I don't believe this rumor and I always have mixed feelings when EventHubs lends legitimacy to rumors instead of waiting to report actual news when it is confirmed.

NO, SFIV is just adaptations of ALL street fighter games.

@ 49

isn't Deejay a breakdancer and kickboxer?

im all for it

DEEJAY vs EDDIE
Jin vs Ryu
Gayrou vs E.honda
Yoshimistui dominating all fighting games

I have to see how it would be, Im sure it would be nice. I would like to see the one game everyone has always wanted Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat.

how the hell should this work?
a 2D fighter and a 3D fighter hawwwwww???

SF in 3-D has already been proven a horrible idea (The EX Series) and just thinking Tekken going 2-D doesn't make any sense. It's two completely different games. They're like oil and water.

... I have no clue how this game would even work.

we want CvS3 not this crap.

I don't know what's going on, but I guess I wouldn't mind this.
It would be interesting to see how both of the franchises fuse together.

I do agree with the above poster though, I'd rather like to see CvS3 first.

@65: Why do people keep thinking EX was on a 3d plane? The fact that you think it was means you never played it, and yet you still denounce it as a terrible game. You can't call a game terrible if you never played it.

That said, I certainly wouldn't be upset if this were green-lit. I assume they'd need to make a system completely unique from Tekken and Street Fighter and to put the characters from those series into this game. Worst comes to worst, Capcom would release a bad game that wouldn't hurt anyone (besides Capcom) because if you don't play it, it's almost as if it was never released. On the flip-side, Capcom could turn out a very high-quality game out of it and we'd have something else to play.

NEVER IS NOT POSSIBLE two completetly different world. Is like saying The Yankees(MLG) vs The Patriots (NFL)Both gameplay completely different, they will clash but in a bad way it will never happent unless tekken goes 2.5 which will suck , or SF to 3d which will also suck, or remake another RPG which will again suck NO WAYnit just wont work

Actually, it might be interesting if they do a decent job of combining the systems from the two games, the way they did with the SNK vs Capcom game, althought the SNK systems and Capcom systems were similar enough that they could be combined without much issue...
Who knows.

So which do you prefer, playing Street Fighter character with expanded movelist but lost the ability to do proper jump attack and maybe lost all projectiles? Or Tekken characters with very limited movesets?

I don't like both options. Any other options?

Why so much hate for SFEX....Just because it didnt sell well doesnt mean it wasnt a good game. People on this site make to many assumptions with out trying things out first...SFEX2 is one of my all time fav games!!!

i've learn to believe in any rumor posted here, since 90% of the time it's true, but this.... i don't know how they would merge both gamestyles, they're just too different, maybe doing something similar to rival schools, but still, i don't see it happening...

btw, a new rival schools and a new darkstalkers both ssf4 style would rock!!!!

This is fake. Capcom wouldn't announce something that would take away MvC's thunder this early in the game. Not to mention the issue of how many dimensions it would be. Plus, what Tekken fighter could possibly stand up to anyone from SF? SF characters are all super-powered and can teleport and shoot flame from their hands. Tekken characters are relatively normal, if not quirky, martial artists.

I have doubts about how a tekken vs street fighter game would work, I can't even be bothered to go into the logistics that would be required to pull it off. With that being said it's a much better idea than SF vs Smash Bros.

no f-ing way.

1. this is obviously fake. the stupid site just wants hits
2. it wouldnt work out well anyway
3. Capcom vs SNK 3 is a more worthy vs title to hit shelves than this bafoonery

i think its funny that we have gone through 80 comments and not a single person mentioned that tekken was at one point a 2.5d game. tekken didnt always have side stepping, and it was a great game. seriously, tekken 2 rocked on so many levels, and even tekken 3 and tag werent 100% full 3d movement like we know tekken and sou calibur to be now.

i'm just saying a 2.5d tekken cast works. if implemented properly, we know non projectile characters can compete (sup balrog, blanka, bison) so taking tekken characters back to their roots wouldnt necessarily destroy their chances of winning.

i think its that new tekken game that was rumor... with like Ryu as a Guest star... thats my guess n most logical

if they ARE gonna merge the 3d 2d fighting system it should be like this Sega joke with virtua fighter turbo!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rruQ24...

Street Fighter vs. Tekken would be redundant because half the SF2 cast is already in Tekken.

Jack/King = Zangief
Mishimas = shotos
Paul = Ken
Ganryu = E. Honda
Law = Fei Long

There are probably more but I stopped playing after part 2.

@81 I think you're missing the point that vs games are complete garbage no matter what or who they feature.

Had a though: Who would be the production team here?

Capcoms fighting department are currently working on MvC3, and Namco is rumoured to be working on Tekken 7 - Making production nigh impossible unless it is being handled by Capcom USA or a Namco B-Team.

can someone please tell me the name of the song playing in this video ? :(

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByP5KS...

i've looked everywhere on youtube but I can't find it.

@86

@86
im guessing capcom and namco have more than one production team :S

I don't too much care for Tekken.

I don't really car for Tekken all that much. It started to suck after 3, imo.

Bob v Rufus the stuff of legends

@#9

Lol, you act as if even if this rumor was true it would somehow mean that they are working on this game instead of MvC3, which is obviously not the case since we've seen screens already of the freakin game.

@ 85 - first of all, thats 100% false. marvel and SNK vs games are awesome. second, i dont even think this rumor is true. third, i think this board is occupied by 12 year olds who have never played SFEX or tekken before it went full 3d. everyone talking about how you cant combine a fully 3d game like tekken with SF has never played tekken before hit hit the PS3, its that simple. everyone saying 3D plane SF games have failed is too young to have actually played SFEX if they are citing it as an example. i think YOU are missing the point of my post, not me missing the point of anything.

I can't even phantom this Tekken is in a whole nother leauge.

nope i cant see this . i hope this is false tekken is all about juggling

@94 That's an amusing set of assumptions. You know what they say about assumptions, don't you?

3d fighters are garbage
Vs games are garbage
Assumptive prima donnas are garbage

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I thought this was a good idea when i was like, 12 and tekken tag was out,... but now,...n NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!...

@96 So, street fighter is all about spamming.

@ 97 - i'm the only one here that seems to know tekken was ever 2.5d, and one of like 4 who knows SFEX was 2.5d. how exactly is it an assumption when its a fact that everyone that brought up that they dont mixed used tekken being 3D as their argument? how am i assuming people havent played SFEX when they are saying it is fully 3D? the answer is i'm not.

your opinion on what games are good means nothing to me, its not gonna stop me from enjoying CvS2 on my dreamcast or XvSF on my saturn. if i played any 3D fighters, i would bring one up, but i still think that you are the epitome of ignorance with your baseless assumptions that all fighters of a particular style are garbage.

I think he got the source wrong it's probably a Namco X Capcom 2 probably being made for the States or something which is actually fun, however fighting game, lets be real, i'd believe a Virtual Fighter vs Tekken over this.

So sad... There are rumors about a Tekken vs SF, but still nothing for a Capcom vs SNK 3.... which would just be the game of my dreams.

this is a RUMOR PEOPLE! Calm yourselves and think before acting like spoiled children. Ok If this is real I have kinda mixed feelings while tekken was 2.5D at one time so is street fighter EX. However I would be curious to how they would do this seeing how diffrent the games play from one another even back then. All I can say is wait it out

OH To the people whining for Capcom VS SNK 3...It will probably NOT happpen. You know Capcom and SNK don't really like one another right? The only reason we got the ones we did was becasue of a magazine misprint and a deal then struck between Capcom and SNK. In interviews both sides show lack of intrest in CvS3. Guy...it will most likely never happen. I am sorry1 I'd love it to and I'd love to be wrong..but I doubt I am.

I'd rather see

Tekken vs Virtual Fighter

Tekken Tag 2

Street Fighter vs Mortal Kombat (should have happend a long time ago)
