Ono: Watch Street Fighter X Tekken gameplay trailer for additional hints and info

Posted by Catalyst — April 17, 2011 at 7:16 p.m. PDT

Mixed in with all of the Street Fighter X Tekken coverage that happened at Captivate was a remark from Capcom's Yoshinori Ono that there are clues in the gameplay trailer hinting at what players will eventually be allowed to do in game. The quote reads:

Ono pointed directly to that trailer in our interview, advising fans to watch it closely for additional hints and information. "There were certain instances where characters were on the screen at the same time doing things. I would recommend that you analyze that trailer like you would the Zapruder tapes. You will find some hint in there of what this game will eventually allow you to do."

You can check out the trailer in question below. Do you spot anything of note? Leave a comment below with anything you come up with.

I refuse to let myself be trolled by Ono this time

Struggs said on April 17, 2011 at 7:21 p.m.

Ono did the same thing with the SFIV trailer. Someone picked up that Ryu and Ken were fighting on a 2D plane in that one and they didn't deviate from it. This was before the game was announced to be 2D. I wonder what this one is...

terror said on April 17, 2011 at 7:22 p.m.

is 2:13 supposed to be a guard break?

Ranshi said on April 17, 2011 at 7:22 p.m.

I see a raptor with boxing gloves behind Guile, he better be playable!

Dinosaurs make everything better!

EmeraldFont said on April 17, 2011 at 7:23 p.m.

He said a similar thing YEARS ago when Street Fighter IV was announced. There was all kinds of crazy speculation about what the trailer had to do with the game(Keep in mind there was no in-game footage shown yet), and it ended up just being the ink splash effect that showed up in the game. Now, if you notice the water effect being used in this trailer, you can probably see where he's going with this. It seems like it's going to be the same kind of thing.

Also, as much as I hate Ono, gotta give him props for knowing about the Zapruder tapes. That was an unexpected reference.

Shareware said on April 17, 2011 at 7:23 p.m.

Only thing I can think of is that in the cinematic trailer Ken moves from the building to the street in mid battle.

Multi-layered stages?

darko_p86 said on April 17, 2011 at 7:23 p.m.

when ryu did his ultra, who was that right after him doing the similar ultra as ryu. he had red eyes. look sorta like evil ryu. or no? anyone?

Mrb20028 said on April 17, 2011 at 7:27 p.m.

All I see is juggling and OTG combos. Sorta like the Tekken fighting system. But other than that, I'm not sure. I'll look at it more.

zatransis said on April 17, 2011 at 7:29 p.m.

I'm guessing 4 player matches. Tag your friends in and out.

Oroku_Saki said on April 17, 2011 at 7:30 p.m.

So we have Off-The-Wall attacks, Evil Ryu, Devil Kazuya, Chargeable Attacks, and Parrying...holy crap...parrying fireballs with the somewhat SF4 look. Yes!
I hope these all are in the final build. And I love the Dino Crisis stage, and the Dead Rising stages.

#10

WalrusKungFu said on April 17, 2011 at 7:30 p.m.

You can make combos out of two characters. One starts a combo and the other can come and continue the combo. That's what I'm thinking. So the potential for combos is multiplied many times over.

#11

JanTheMan said on April 17, 2011 at 7:31 p.m.

It's probably gonna be hard for me to have both Tekken and SF character in a team. I can't play Tekken with an arcade stick for most of the characters... I have to use a dualshock controller...

#12

WalrusKungFu said on April 17, 2011 at 7:31 p.m.

#10 that could be true!

#17

darkhearted said on April 17, 2011 at 7:34 p.m.

Chun Li and Nina can be seen doing a double team throw at 2:18, possibly partner specific combos with both characters being on screen?

#18

dhcwhat1 said on April 17, 2011 at 7:35 p.m.

at 38 to 39. nina does a move where ryu's in stun frames but he gets pushed back (kind of like alex in sf3, with qcf p), maybe alot of the characters will have move that cause this allowing tags?

#19

z0j0227 said on April 17, 2011 at 7:36 p.m.

I'm thinking multi-tier stages as well unless the dino stage has two versions. One on the ground and one on the catwalk.

CervejaDoBrazil said on April 17, 2011 at 7:39 p.m.

ya it looks like different variations on tag teaming. one version so far looks like you can tag straight into a combo from the previous character. the Other looks like an actual PLAYER has been tagged in due to the fact that the tagged character is just walking in. 2 on 2 4 player mode?

#22

Shareware said on April 17, 2011 at 7:40 p.m.

BisonBetterBeGoodInSSF4 said on April 17, 2011 at 7:43 p.m.

havent read all the comments yet so dont know who posted it but when they showed the fight for Guile and Abel, Abel was doing a combo then subsituted in for Guile and Guile IMMEDIATELY did cr.strong>FK...someone explain how Guile was charging while he was out of the match.

OdinReborn

. no i was not serious, of course. im not really into having double characters. im mad they gave us e.ryu in AE. shos that they were lazy and that they gave into lil whiny pu$$y nuthogers who they can milk for extra dough. was it THAT hard to put in Rolento? but, you're right, that was a trailer shot. i hate how they combine trailers with game footage. but why does Ryu have a blue left eye when Kazuya pinns him underneeth his foot, and then have a red left eye when he's charging his Hadou? im just wondering. besides that, didnt really catch anything new, even with freezing the damn vid every now and then.

cant wait for the Heihachi announcement

That's the whole thing with bouncing off walls and hitting people off of walls, or os that when the character get's close to the ground and hit again?

#32

MonkeyCha0s said on April 17, 2011 at 8:18 p.m.

@BisonBetterBeGoodInSSF4

that was just some good precharging. not hard at all. he was charging from the abel standing fierce which gave enough time for guile to come in pause a tiny bit, do low strong and then do flash kick. more than enough time i think.

Has it been explicitly stated that this game will have charge moves? It makes sense that it would but that's no guarantee that it will.

#45

SnakeX said on April 17, 2011 at 8:57 p.m.

Ono is trolling as usual. He's getting you all to look for things that are not there.

@46
There's been plenty of images of the revealed characters' movelists already. Guile's moves are still charges. Chun Li's moves are half circles with the exception of her spinning bird kick, which is still a charge.

#46

mrdrofficer said on April 17, 2011 at 9:02 p.m.

We're looking at a few things here.

1. bound system because of Ken bounce.

2. 2 vs.2 , finally

3. What's with the faces peeling when Kazuya and Ryu hit each other? Is it some sort of crush EX/ parry thing?

#47

RandomJohn said on April 17, 2011 at 9:07 p.m.

I'm guessing it's literally a 2-on-2 battle between 4 players with the option of playing alone (controls both characters on team) or play with a teammate / human player. In addition, tagging requires both players to execute the motion and / or button sequence at the same time to perform the tag successfully in order to continue the combo. Make sense to anyone? So it's more like chorographed combos between two team players. Players that are waiting to be tagged in of each team will need know what combo is expected and know the combo when the point player starts it. Almost like football. QB calls the play on the field. The difference is QB can be you or your teammate. All in all, the predictions I stated are probably bogus crap that Ono wanted us to write. For all we know, he may just want us to realize the simple fact SF x T has a similar juggling combo system like Tekken haha.

#48

Hakansoilbarrel said on April 17, 2011 at 9:13 p.m.

(The face peeling means you can transform your opponents character into dark phoenix, I mean Dark Ryu and Oni Kayuza)

chickenwings said on April 17, 2011 at 11:08 p.m.

@54

abel also does the same thing. WHile the oppenont was in juggle he does like a jab into falling sky.

@everyone that says 4 player mode

YES. that would be insane and would really make this game stand out. #49(random john) is reading my mind. Having both player require an input to swap in/out and continue combos. Maybe u can do something like this. Ryu starts a combo and that ends in a dragon punch cancel into tag, now when the tag is activated u get like a super freeze, at this instant the second player tags in just by pressing any attack button, this would allow him to come in and continue the combo(it would also allow him to come in with a super/special move since any input would give u a tag in). Regular tags would require something totally different. Maybe if player 1 hits tag it would put him into a taunt like state where u cant attack and defend, any input tags in the second fighter but he comes in normally.

Regardless 4 player matchs would be too good to pass up. Online would be local/online would be aswome, tournaments would be insane with 4 players.

#57

TheDarkDevice said on April 17, 2011 at 11:23 p.m.

I predict Rufus to be Bob's rival. That's almost a certainty when you watch Bob's moves.

#58

Johnry said on April 17, 2011 at 11:44 p.m.

I've spotted three potential things:

@0:58-1:01 there is a Shadoloo sign at the back on the left of the screen - this could mean Bison is in...

@1:08 there is someone just to the right of Guile and behind him. It MIGHT be Abel but it looks more like two boxing gloves... Dudley perhaps?

@2:11 there is a guy standing behind Bob in a fighting stance - is that somebody from Tekken? (I'm not really clued up about Tekken btw)

#59

roarmonster said on April 17, 2011 at 11:51 p.m.

Hm Ima actually have to disagree with you TheDarkDevice, I think bob makes it so that Rufus really isn't needed, and probably wont be in. We already got Abel, and they seem to have been pushing C. Viper a lot out of the new SF4 characters, so honestly I think we will just get those two. El Fuerte and Rufus? Probably won't happen. Oh and I think Juri will make this too.

#60

xRELLIKx said on April 17, 2011 at 11:54 p.m.

man i would love 4 player matches!!

this is all ive been able to come up with after watching it bout 7 times.

- destructable/interactive stages (nancy destroyed, 0:21)
- quick recover off throw (i see abel/marduk command throw, guile air throw...not much after the other norm throws)but when ken throws kazuya, kazuya lands ready (tekken-esque roll forward on wakeup has ben confirmed. kami?)
- bob stuns ken with a slam (not familliar with bob, so prly just usual hit stun)
- dinosaurs....GON ^_^ lol
- kazuya 'breaking' makes me think guard break or something or perhaps you 'give' something when you attack, and gain it when you block? something to disencourage too aggressive perhaps? ryu and kazuya trading water seems to be central. mebe more then hust an effect this time?
- wonder if theres something in the reflection of kazuya's debree from cracking
- perhaps we get x-men vs sf orbs? O_O

thats all i can think of...

#61

roarmonster said on April 17, 2011 at 11:55 p.m.

For all the people that are thinking about a parry being in this game, that would be great. It ands a lot of depth in my opinion, and it would also make Tekken characters fit in better.
But SF3 wasn't much of a success, partially because of how it wasn't that accessible, which had a lot to do with the parry system from what I can tell. Not sure if Capcom would be willing to put it out there. If they do though, I would be so happy. This could really shape up to be a game mostly for the hardcore fighting fans if they add a parry and don't put in obnoxious comeback mechanics :)

#62

MetalCabeza said on April 18, 2011 at 12:31 a.m.

@Johnry at 1:08 mark with blue boxing gloves, thats actually a character from tekken known as Alex if i recall correctly(im not too familiar with tekken characters) and the guy behind Bob? he doesnt look familiar so hes probably just a background character

#63

Sturmgeist13 said on April 18, 2011 at 12:38 a.m.

There isn't anything hidden in the trailer, anyone looking into it is being trolled by none other than Ono.

This reminds me of how (apparently according to Capcom Unity) there was a super secret mega ultra awesome easter egg in Megaman 9, & it turned out to be absolutely nothing.

Things ive noticed:
1) tag combos
2) ex moves
3) super combos
4) more than two crabs (i saw Ken doing 3 so i guess the others must have as well)
5) double layer stages
6) M.Bison will be in judging from the Shadolaw logo at 00:59
7) Seth will be in because you can clearly see his fat guy taking pictures at 00:59
8) Alex (the dino) makes a cameo so its a possibility he'll be in the game as playable
9) rolling while hit the ground
10) judgind from the cinematic maybe just maybe we'll get some serious story mode.

#68

#69

NINJA said on April 18, 2011 at 3:23 a.m.

It will alow to combine ultras if we time and link it right for huge damage. He can stay that time doing an ultra while the other gets in and we can decide what to next. That's all, but it might be a great system.

#86

xShonuffx said on April 18, 2011 at 8:58 a.m.

Ono hinted many times that while Street Fighter characters can throw projectiles they won't dominate the game, you can see Kazuya ducking under Ryu's Hadoken meaning that Tekken characters will have special moves that will allow them to avoid projectiles. I think he did this with the really early version of the game as well.

#82 Bingo!

Zangief better be in this...for MOTHER Russia! My main...I'm sure he'll be...

I think I'd like to make a team of Gief and Dhalsim (who I'm using now xD).

Man, just wait until you face an army of Ryu and Kens. :P I can't wait, I'm gonna get down!
