A closer look at the hidden characters in Street Fighter X Tekken's E3 trailer

Posted by Jonathan 'Catalyst' Grey • June 8, 2011 at 6:35 p.m. PDT
A closer look at the hidden characters in Street Fighter X Tekken's E3 trailer Some sharp eyed readers managed to spot some interesting things in the E3 trailer for Street Fighter X Tekken that Capcom put out yesterday.

Multiple readers claimed to have spotted Dhalsim, Lili, Asuka and Steve, the latter three from the Tekken universe partially hidden or obscured in the trailer.

Some of the stuff here is a bit strong than others, and arguments could be made against these being the characters shown as well, but to check out the evidence, hit the link below.

Lili — Tekken


The things to note here are the character's socks, boots and dress pattern match very closely with Lili from the Tekken franchise.

Dhalsim — Street Fighter


Dhalsim's head, or something that looks a bit like it, may be partially viewable when Sagat's character artwork comes up (blue arrow in the first shot). You have to use your imagination a bit for this one, but if you check the collage shot (middle image), you'll have an easier time making it out.

Asuka — Tekken


Chun-Li fights a character that's never revealed in the trailer, although you can see some of the details of her outfit, which appear to match up with Asuka from Tekken fame. The main things that stand out are the short shorts and boots (1st shot) and the gloves (2nd shot).

Steve — Tekken


In a similar fashion to how Dhalsim seemingly appears, Steve from Tekken may partially materialize behind Hwoarang. Here are a few shots showing a face back there.

A big thanks goes to ARXIN, ZeroX03, Cloudlam, HyperMarth, Dflowen and Johnz for tracking these things down, and in some cases providing screen shots.

They better add SF4 characters Rufus and Fuerte to join the Fray.

saiferoth said on June 8, 2011 at 6:46 p.m.

I know it's a given but Seth let slip that Jin is in the game during an IGN live coverage or whatever its called. I COULD be wrong but I'm pretty sure I heard him say it when he was talking about characters having their chain combos from Tekken 6 over to SFxT. I am looking it up right now.

Careful with that skirt shot! There are boys around. Whew...it's hot in here all of a sudden

Rekkaken2468 said on June 8, 2011 at 6:50 p.m.

hwoarang and steve wud make an epic team. steve brings the punches and hwoarang owns with kicks.

lili and asuka are great choices. i'm glad they made the cut.

other prediction: paul & yoshimitsu (they've been in EVERY tekken game so it wud be ridiculous to leave them out)

also, law and fei long. c'mon, double the dragons baby!!

GodPride said on June 8, 2011 at 7:01 p.m.

On the Cap Unity forum, one of the members drew an outline of Dhalsim on the the water effects behind Sagat and I'm truly convinced without a doubt that it was definitly him. It's too bad he isn't hype material for me.

Anyway, I'm still waiting on Vega and hopefully Alex.

Taxattack123 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:01 p.m.

I hope Steve and Asuka are in the game. They're both high hope characters for me.

#10
DestinyZX1 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:03 p.m.

This is getting good. Hopefully characters that weren't in SF4 will be in this game.

#11
Eternal7 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:04 p.m.

Glad to see Asuka in this game. All that is needed now is Sakura and the tag-team is complete.

#12
NMS84 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:06 p.m.

Still hoping for an epic trailer where (finally) Bison and Heihachi face off...G'damn, that would be so awesome the universe probably would collapse.

#13
xShonuffx said on June 8, 2011 at 7:08 p.m.

Crazy.

#14
NMS84 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:08 p.m.

Also, just realizing: this is an unwinnable battle for Capcom. TWO communities full of whining, never-going-to-be-pleased, hater fanboys. No matter how good this game is going to be(hell, it could be the best fighting game ever) it's going to be such a whine bonanza, from now until its release. (And probably after that as well). Strangely enough, it makes me both proud and disgusted to be a fighting game gamer...

Thanks for the shoutout Catalyst!

powderedtoastman said on June 8, 2011 at 7:15 p.m.

i they decide to throw bison into this game, i hope they give him his psycho shot and psycho field projectiles. Think its time for him to unleash more of his psycho drive powers.

#17
logic_boi said on June 8, 2011 at 7:15 p.m.

@ 15

For me its the exact opposite. No matter how bad this game is (which it won't be) I'm going to love it. The only way that'd change is if they take back Cammy and Chun Li (which they won't)

#18
Dragoomba said on June 8, 2011 at 7:18 p.m.

@DestinyZX1

It's already been confirmed that there will be characters that didn't make the cut for SF4 in SFxT.

#19
Rekkaken2468 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:22 p.m.

as for the character who didn't make the cut in sf4:

alex, rolento, urien, karin & r.mika are a few of my guesses.

alex since he's like the hero of sf3, rolento since he's a popular final fight character who hasn't appeared in a game for a while (plus ono mentioned before the release of choclate ssf4 he'd like to include rolento). urien cuz he was a popular character in sf3. karin due to her popularity and the fact dat she hasn't appeared much in cross-overs. and finally, r.mika cuz ono said he likes her and wanted to add her to ssf4.

What kind of a rapping name is Steve?

#21
frostrainflame said on June 8, 2011 at 7:29 p.m.

They need to announce Jin and Eddy already and a couple of sfex3 character(Kairi and Skullomania)

#22
kornbeaner said on June 8, 2011 at 7:31 p.m.

I;ve been able to play this game at E3 and so far this game is appearing to be very solid. If all they do is polish the gameplay this game can be better than SF. The controls are really tight, there doesn't appear to be any type of shortcuts for special moves (but I could wrong about since I've only used Ryu once) and the tag mechanics and strategies seem to already be pretty balanced. I really do believe this game will bridge the gap between SF and Tekken players.

@22, don't expect to see any ex characters. capcom doesnt own the rights to them.

on another note, how epic wud it be if capcom just surprise us out of nowhere by announcing they are back with arika and ex4 is in the making LOL it will bring mega hype to fighting games considering how much hype is already going on.

gamefreak20 said on June 8, 2011 at 7:58 p.m.

3 Tekken characters and 1 Street Fighter character? It's a total shame they gave us 3 Tekken and 1 Street Fighter characters instead. Now it's unbalanced. I'm so loving the mix.

#28
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 8:01 p.m.

@28 Its not unbalanced cuz we are gonna have the school girl fight with Asuka and Lili vs Sakura and Karin

#29
KageVincent said on June 8, 2011 at 8:02 p.m.

Yep Dhalsim, Lili and Asuka are definite. Steve is a bit blurrier but I hope for the best. Glad my baby Asuka made it. I second mained her in tekken 6...well while I played it I did XD. Point is I love her so I'm excited

gamefreak20 said on June 8, 2011 at 8:15 p.m.

Asuka and Lili vs. Sakura and Karin are not in the game yet. Besides Street Fighter X Tekken reminds me of Mortal Kombat. because of the tags.

Should I?

@32 Well if Sakura and Karin arnt Asuka and Lilis rivals then who? Yea it reminds me of MK9 but more...polished(?)and better cuz the combos are even more crazy and they mesh well together.

#34
EVIL_MECHANICK said on June 8, 2011 at 8:33 p.m.

elena and eddy gordo will be in it.

DMagic804 said on June 8, 2011 at 9:03 p.m.

Man good eye guys I would have never noticed all this. Maybe capcom did this on purpose maybe not but that is a way better method of "revealing" characters then the stupid teasers we've seen thus far. sorta like a character reveal within a character reveal...@_@ TIME PARADOX

#38
Amarillo said on June 8, 2011 at 9:06 p.m.

Not sure if people want more proof of Asuka being in SFxT, but here are some screenshots I took from the trailer.

Now I really wonder what's happening on the Tekken side of things.

#46
chobi_pho said on June 8, 2011 at 9:41 p.m.

@43
yeahhh i know. but in ssf4, ibuki and sakura's
story intertwined, so yeah...just taking notes
of the story plot as well (:

Hi'10 hi'10!!! xD

#47
Killerbee said on June 8, 2011 at 9:42 p.m.

I have a feeling juri is in here too.. In the last Mins of the trailer (where chun-li is talking to the hooded girl.. It looked like juri to me)

#48
Lemres said on June 8, 2011 at 9:44 p.m.

@47
oh crap i forgot that they were rivals in ssf4
this makes me have less hope for karin T_T

@48
no it's still Asuka
she wears the coat throughout her time in the trailer.

#49
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 9:45 p.m.

@47 hess HI 10 HI 10. Good job trying to incorperate the story as well =D. Either way if its ibuki or karin its my mains xD.

#50
Killerbee said on June 8, 2011 at 9:49 p.m.

Oh I see .. Lame.. I think juri would do well in this game too! <3 didn't Ono say they're going to add characters that didn't make it to ssf4? I know people on twitter are still pushing for Poison from final fight .

#51
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 9:51 p.m.

I dont see why shes sooo bland and boring

#52
Killerbee said on June 8, 2011 at 9:56 p.m.

Who are you talking about strider?
juri or poison?

#53
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 10 p.m.

Poison I like Juri

#54
Killerbee said on June 8, 2011 at 10:04 p.m.

Mmmm I'm curious to see how she would fight.. But I'm hoping juri makes it.. :) I'm already excited cammy made it!

#55
Oroku_Saki said on June 8, 2011 at 10:07 p.m.

What about Kunimitsu¿ Isn't she on the same stage with Ibuki¿

#56
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 10:07 p.m.

Cammy looks beast and Hwoarang is gonna be a beast =DDD. Julia actually looks cool too

#57
chobi_pho said on June 8, 2011 at 10:08 p.m.

@47
haha, nah! keep hopin shes in! cause IMO, i cant really
imagine ibuki as a cross tagger since alot of her moves
score knock downs, true? but then again that 'launcher'
is a new thing in town...and also i dont use ibuki so
i cant really say ^^"

@48
thank you thank you ^^ here's hopin it happens. (Y)

Yoshimitsu X Bryan Fury ftw!
And Sagat and Adonnn come on!~ xD

#58
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 10:10 p.m.

@Oroku thats ot Ibuki thats her friend whos name escapes me...anyway thats her friend cuz she has a headband and doesnt have the big long ponytails, and for Kunimitsu i think we will get Yoshimitsu.

#59
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 10:12 p.m.

@Chobi yea most of Ibukis moves knockdown. Um i dont think adon fits all that well cuz of the wall jumping but I couldd be wrong.

#60
Lemres said on June 8, 2011 at 10:13 p.m.

@50
I use ibuki and Karin too haha
her name's Sarai

#61
Strider96 said on June 8, 2011 at 10:15 p.m.

@61 sweet I really do love them. I would be cool if we get Sakura and Karin x Asuka and Lili and Ibuki x Raven =D

#62
Lemres said on June 8, 2011 at 10:32 p.m.

@62
oh yes my dream match
would be cool if it was Ibuki x Kunimitsu too since there both ninja girls
i think guy would fit better with Raven but you'll never know :D

#63
MetroidG said on June 8, 2011 at 10:51 p.m.

No matter where I go lili and asuka are getting the most hype of any characters so far its even bigger than steve fox. I expect that though as lili is one of the top 5 tekken characters wouldwide and asuka may not be as liked as jun but casual gamers eat her up. Good call capcom good call,we know the game is going to have m.bison,paul,law and heihachi so their no surprise really.

#64
leugimnabetse said on June 8, 2011 at 10:51 p.m.

elena and ibuki x eddie/christie and yoshimitsu

and sakura and karin x xiayu and dont know anna? XD female rebellion in this game XD I hope its doesnt become like marvel side with like 3 females...I hope it have at least 6 to 8 females by side

#65
BloodyNights said on June 8, 2011 at 11:01 p.m.

Just release Juri, and Karin capcom thats all I ask and you will have me sold :3

#66
Lemres said on June 8, 2011 at 11:40 p.m.

@66
i agree tons!! lol about the Karin part
i wouldn't mind seeing juri either!

#67
roknin said on June 9, 2011 at 12:13 a.m.

@BloodyNights - I'm with you on that.

Well, I'm sold anyway, but I'll be more sold if both of them make it. The confirmation of a lot of my fav's and mains from the Tekken universe has already sold me though (Julia, Asuka, Lili).

Now if only Feng Wei and Lei could get confirmation sooner rather than later...

And hopefully, Juri and/or Karin...

Gawd, my wishlist for this game is like 60 characters deep, lol.

#68
roknin said on June 9, 2011 at 12:15 a.m.

Sorry to double-post, but it just dawned on me how utterly SICK Raven would be in this game. I'd have to play him too.

It's not Dhalsim...sorry, they would never team up Sagat with Dhalsim...so far they made up teams of characters which relate in terms of style, personality and/or story...a Sagat/Bison team would make sense...Sagat/Dhalsim...No Way!

#77
powderedtoastman said on June 9, 2011 at 6:06 a.m.

@#58
Im assuming you never seen ibuki players in full swing. She has inherit target combos on ground or air, built in launchers from a couple of her target combos or her normal close FK also with jump canceling in both ssf4 and 3s.

If anything she can already play like a Sfxt character without being in the game yet. As mentioned already in another thread about everyone using the same cookie cutter combo of light> medium>hard> launch then air combo. Ibuki target combo of lp>mp>C. fk>S. Fk> jump cancel is basically the same exact thing she does currently. Just with the sfxt system she wouldnt be air reseting people after her combo.

Also about her moves causing knockdowns and what not, her air kunai could be used in air combos, her ex spinning kicks allows juggles currently, her ex dragon kick allowed her to attack right after in 3s and come attacking back down with her air target combo, and her command grab is able to snag people air borne pretty well during juggles so could be used as a combo ender in sfxt. So if any character eligible for a spot in sfxt it would be ibuki, shes is already equip with all the tools needed before even appearing. And with familiarity im sure peeps can pick her up pretty fast just doing what they would do in 3s or ssf4. Btw im no fan of ibuki personally i could careless if she in or not >_> from a design standpoint shes perfect for the new system.

@#60
Lol also to chime in here aswell, Adon is capable of alot of juggle opportunities off his moves too. Mainly when any of his special moves hit an airborne person. Ex jaguar kick does sets up a good mid screen juggle, ex jaguar tooth, good when opponent is corner and puts people in juggle state, rising jaguars does it depending on which hits lands and allows follow up attacks.
Also one of his variation of his super allows a wall bounce which can be made useful in sfxt with a better system in place. And his close Fk already have a nice launcher looking animation.

So i can see adon capable of making a seemless transition just based of what he has now with out even changing him much if at all.
So i can envision him doing a ground chain to launcher, air combo ending off with ex jaguar kick( to keep juggle state going while adon land) use super combo with the wall bounce, jaguar tooth to snag the wall bounced opponent into a double rising jaguar. Yeah i can picture him being in the game with a few tweaks.

#78
Freyzii said on June 9, 2011 at 6:13 a.m.

Awesome! Now bring either Dudley or Balrog (Or both) from Street Fighter and we have three boxers. I bet Bruce is gonna be in this game, he can be Sagat's Tekken opposite (Kick-boxer, not the same as muay-thai but close)

Uzumakihero_Shinitobi said on June 9, 2011 at 9:14 a.m.

The one that looks like steve, I just rewatched the trailer, and you'll notice alot of red, and it has that "V" that most gi's have. So I am saying it's Paul Phoenix.

#84
mcb650 said on June 9, 2011 at 9:29 a.m.

I hope they're not right about Dhalsim. I can't stand that character.

#85
Hayabusa_San said on June 9, 2011 at 9:38 a.m.

Asuka and Lili are definitly confirm (excellent! love those characters).

About Dhalsim, I have my doubts. I don't think Capcom will pair Sagat with Dhalsim, after seen previous teams (Ryu and Ken, Guile and Abel, Chun-Li and Cammy). If anything, maybe thats not Dhalsim, but Adon (which would make more sense). We'll have to wait and see.

About Steve, I think it is possible. And in this moment I don't remember any other Tekken character with white shirt. Althrough, Hwoarang's teacher has a white gi (I think his name is Baek), but I don't think we get him after Hwoarang announcement.

#86
ChilliZeroXS said on June 9, 2011 at 9:48 a.m.

If they want to please all the noobs who suck at fighting games, they should probably put Sentinel in the game. lol (I know he is not from capcom)

Yes, exactly my thoughts (#77)

DarkRyu94 said on June 9, 2011 at 11:26 a.m.

Ok so this is about dream match ups
Well for defo
Ryu VS Jin and Evil Ryu vs Devil Jin.... just has to happen
Akuma VS Kazuya, Possibly Oni VS Devil (Not too certain)
Chun Li VS Nina
Ken VS Paul
Rufus VS Bob
Gouken VS Heihachi
Juri VS Hworang
Fei Long VS Law
El Fuerte VS King
Marduck VS Zangief
Yoshimitsu VS Vega
Steve Fox VS Dudley (Brit on Brit)
Sagat VS Bruce
And as just plain Epic Battle:
Gill VS Jinpachi Mishima

oh, wait, he's probably dead like Dan AND MY SPIRIT!

#91
ExHaseo said on June 10, 2011 at 9:37 p.m.

I'm surprised no one has made any speculation as to the backgrounds. The characters in the background seems to be related to the Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki comic. Like the guys with the claws, and the two ninja girls talking. More than likely a hint that Ibuki will be in as well. Who else would this stage fit afterall?

#92
FlyingWonkey said on June 10, 2011 at 11:43 p.m.

Exhaseo,

The stage is more indicative of Heihachi being in.

The guys with claws and big berserker guys were standard enemies in T6's scenario campaign mode.

The guys in suits were heihachi's bodyguards.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z-PGz... at 4:40 in.

The music and lower level is his old stage theme and whatnot.

@26 Yes It's Sakura and Karin!

Have hope fans! Ono said before that charactors that did'nt make the roster into SF4 (series) would be in SFxT! So Karin is a possibility.

#96
