Capcom's Yoshinori Ono participated in a long interview session Tuesday afternoon at E3 2011, and provided new details on Street Fighter X Tekken, Street Fighter 3 Third Strike Online Edition and some of their other fighting games.
I hope the 3ds gets something cool. Perhaps some DLC options that were considered for consoles.
I dont care who he adds to the game as long as the rest of the world warriors make the cut(we only need 4 more, blanka,honda,zangief,dhalsim). Those are the heavy hitters that have been there from the begining. Other then that maybe bison(he need a villain). Ijust pray that they dont go shoto crazy(ryu and ken are enough) when we dont have that many sf slots.
Seems like a no-brainer that we're gonna get characters that we didn't see in SF4, but it's good to know that we have official confirmation of this nonetheless.
I really like the way the game flows, and the emphasis on chains and juggles over links. It seems like that perfect balance between SF4 and MvC3.
So they're trimming the SF side? Not surprised. No dummy would expect all or even 75% of the SSF4 cast to make the cut.
Anyone notice a few recycled model/animation? Marduk with Hakan's base model and jump animation, and Hwoarang with Juri's base jump animation. They don't fit neither character but I'm fine with Kazuya/shoto, Julia/Cammy and Bob/Rufus.
@1 My long years of waiting would have finally paid off. lol
@3
Given the combo and juggle-centric nature of this game, I don't think we'll see Blanka or Dhalsim, and I'd say Honda is iffy as well. Zangief being included wouldn't surprise me, however I think adding characters like Alex and/or Hugo would be a better choice, as they would fit the super offensive nature of the game better, and would rival Marduk and King better in my opinion.
Oro :D
I will shed a tear if they leave out Gouki though :'(
I guess this means my Elena/Eddy Gordo team is possible after all!!!
@8
Its not sf4, there gonna play different. And dont forget, way back dhalsim was in xmen vs sf, so they can do it. ANd hugo/alex wouldnt be needed with zangeif and abel in the game.
Honda/blanka fit in the game. I can see chains into hunder hand slap cancels into juggles/tags right now, and blanka with ex eletric that wall bounces. ALOT of possibilites.
Ono mentioned keeping things familiar for the fans, well theres nothing more familiar then the ww's. Thats the reason they went back to them in sf4.
Ono are you ever gonna get to the bottom of this?
http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2010/no...
^you need to get to the bottom of this
Nothing will tempt me to buy SFxT and they're just giving me more reasons to not buy AE either. Unless they somehow leave out all of the Tekken characters, ha!
Once again, though, they never know if this guy is telling the truth or just testing peoples reactions.
As to memorizing moves--make each character dlc then, then you don't have to memorize a character you don't buy. Keep bare and broken AE as the tournament edition and rebalance+characters as the home edition.
"Characters that we haven't seen in a while."
Rolento and Sodom. Mark my words. They're going to make it.
As long as Blanka makes the cut I'm happy. But I would also like to see Urien.
Ummm... Guys remember the SF4 character poll. There's one character in this list who didn't make the cut in any game so far.
"Here are the full results, however basing any expectations about more SFIV characters on the placing of the finishers would be... unwise. As I think I said someplace (maybe it was at the Comic-Con panel?), Cammy crushed the competition:
1. Cammy - 43%
2. Sakura - 15%
3. Dan - 12%
4. Fei Long - 8%
5. Ibuki - 7%
---->5. Hugo - 7%
6. Dee Jay - 4%
T. Hawk - 1%
He will be and hopefully Karin too.
''
• There's a "Cross Rush" system in place which is basically a Chain Combo setup going from Light 2x/Medium/Hard to do combos. ''
I bet just like in MVC3 this does as much DMG as a fully advanced/hard combo ._. Yay! But I guess since people have so much life its ok.
He just means some new chars are coming which is good. Prob some hugo, karin, alex, elana, Q idk
@15 - its yang in the pic. the end.
my god fuk karin and r.mika! if they waste a slot on karin they'd have to waste another on sakura since that's part of y a lot of ppl want her in the 1st place. there are far more important chars that haven't made the cut like elena,hugo,gief,rolento,alex...hell even birdie would be a better addition than both karin or mika.but with mika she may make it just off the strength that ono likes her as a char.plus akuma has to make this game.
*starts to cheer* ALEX! ALEX! ALEX! ALEX! ALEX! ALEX! ALEX! ALEX!. C'mon Capcom what is the deal here he was the main character of Street Fighter 3 I think he deserves to be in it more than anyone.
I'm sure we'll see Akuma as well -- three slots spent on shotos instead of just one. Then there's Sagat and probably Sakura as well.
On the Tekken side we'll have Heihachi, Kazuya, Jin and Asuka -- four slots spent on what should be two. I wouldn't be surprised to see Armor King taking up a slot, either, despite the fact that we already have King and Marduk.
I'd love to see Karin, Hugo, Elena and/or Urien in SFxT, but I doubt more than one of them will make the cut.
@30
That SF4 poll was BS. Originally, Dudley was winning, but Capcom wanted Cammy and Sakura to win (since they were probably already making them), so Dudley was removed from the poll.
Elena vs Eddy
Kunimitsu vs Ibuki
Dudley vs Steve Fox
Yun vs Xiaou
Gouken vs Heihachi
Alex vs Armor king
Oni vs Jinpachi
Dan vs Paul
Ono:beyond 40 fighters, it gets a bit difficult to memorize moves and stuff.
Full retard!
I hope when they re-introduce any new characters from SF into Cross they will consider porting them over to the Super roster as well. Rebalancing everything would take effort, but would already have the model and animation done.
@24
Oh my god, finally someone said it. The best street fighter character no one ever knew. Skullomania please
tbh.. i dont think they should include any more characters from the 4 series (except bison and maybe 1 other).. seriously, right now the street fighter side is just recycled character models... it would be awesome if the rest of street fighter's side came from 3s and Alpha 3.. hell i wouldn't mind seeing EAGLE either! just something, ANYTHING we haven't seen in this generation yet plz capcom..

>it gets a bit difficult to memorize moves and stuff
What a sh!tty excuse.
------------------------------------------------------------
^this. that was really dumb of him to say lol.. right now i (and probably millions of others) know the moves of every character in super and ae.. It's a very sh!tty excuse
@36 Is that true? I see what you mean. I'd still like Hugo and Karin in though, and from the Tekken side for me... Asuka and Brian F***IN' Fury. But yeah that's all I really want to see if they're not in I'll still be alright but I do not want to see Sean or Bruce. Everyone else is welcomed with open arms.
Some poor chap wants Skullomania... heh heh.
Streer Fight X Tekken reminds me of Mortal Kombat 9 just because both had tag team battles and had fast tags, and combo tags.
Eddy/ Christie and Elena, team capoeira definitely needed. Other than that bring back the original Street Fighter characters who haven't been in any other games.
Fei Long and Marshall Law.
There's no way they can't have those charcaters in the game. So epic. Or if not Marshall then Lei Wu Long
Ono looks like he could be Jackie Chan's younger brother.
Im really curious about what the big announcement will be about street fighter x tekken at comic con. I think it will maybe be a companion comic book series i mean it is comic con for petes sake
Im pretty sure the held back on some potential fighters from SSF IV: AE so they would be included in SF X T which is cool by me :-) I absolutely cant wait to get my hands on SSF IV: AE (retail disk) and SF X T next year. My money, for SF X T, is in Hugo, Elena, R.Mika, Rolento and Alex
Would LOVE to see a Darkstalkers game with the same presentation as MK9.
@55
with the limited character slots alot of "epic" wont make it into the game. We already have ryu,ken,guile,abel,chun,sagat cammy. Theres 7, about half of the sf cast. Out of that we need more chargers and we need grapplers. Well, for me the choice is simple, the remaining world warriors cover that. Blanka/honda give u the chargers, Big daddy zangief gives u the grappler, dhalsim should get in just because of his unique style. Thats 11. After that we need a boss character and that SHOULD be bison(seth really wouldnt work), so that 12. Now we need to get 1 or 2 representives from alpha,sf3 and sf4(we have abel already). So that can be anyone.
Two things that worry me immensely:
1.) As another poster pointed out, looks as though they're recycling existing SF4 models for the Tekken characters. Hoping this doesn't end up being SSF4 with new character skins. I love SSF4, but that would just be cheap, lazy, and disappointing.
2.) The "Cross Rush" system sounds like MvC3. Please don't do that to us, Capcom.
@ mcb650 when people like Mike Ross say that this game is amazing and the best SF ever while the guy from gamespot also sounded genuinely enthusiastic and said "this is different"...well its pretty clear IMO that this is NOT merely another version of SF IV. As for recycling character models i couldnt care less
Update the SF4 character models at least. Genuinely update them and not put a damn shader and filter on them.
(People want fighting game w/ all new chars? Does no one remember why SFIII failed?
Anyway,SFxT is getting me hype)
He's right about the 40 characters thing. Tekken keeps adding MORE characters when they need to add less. A new player in the series doesn't want to learn 50-60+ matchups. They did it perfect with sfIV starting with a very small amount and continually adding more until it got to the point where its at.
ALSO its probably going to be Elena. Ono mentioned before that she had just missed the cut, plus it makes sense with how she plays, her rival with Eddy and the fact that they are re-releasing 3rd strike.
@70
So add less charaters because people are too lazy to learn how to play, yea im sure thats the way to make good games. Causal gamers should never dictate game design.
This game needs atleast 50, thats gives u enough slots to fit in the important characters and also enough slots to add in something with alittle extra spice.
@68
THats exactly what i said. Sf3 droped all of the favorites and that hurt its sells and thats why the reboot to the franchise brought ALL of the original 8 back ALONG with some new characters.
Ono said that there going to do something that MK9 did very well, the only thing that MK9 did imo was the online play and how they had all those game rooms and how you were able to chat with everyone. Oh and the King of The hill matches....
Hakansoilbarrel regardless of why you think sf3 failed, all of the fighters we've seen thus far from the SF side have been in S4. None of the characters I use from S4( Ibuki, Makoto, Hakan) have been announced for this game and I hope they aren't. I'd rather see the return of some old characters who haven't been updated yet. First and foremost they need to keep the game fun and switching up the characters will help. I only hope that Capcom keep Akuma out of this game, Ryu and Ken will surely be enough for Shoto fans.
I understand why they don't want a ton of fighters from both sides. Naturally there must be restrictions because it's a X title. I just hope that after the world warriors are there, we get alpha/original/3rd strike characters. The game is offensive, turtle characters like Blanka and Dhalsim don't seem great candidates given the game's very offensive oriented nature. The game is more like MvC/Tekken/3rd Strike than it is SF4 from what I'm seeing. They definitely will only add characters that can work with their juggle system.
@75
turtle characters? last i checked guile,sagat,chun and ryu r in the game and they have always been zone heavy so whats ur point. Also blanka is about the tricks(make him like cvs2), and dhalsim with improved yoga drills(aka sf2 drills) would give him beefy offensive. Remember this isnt sf4, there gonna play alittle different. I can already see alot of crazy coming out of the combo system for honda, chains into hunder hands will be insane.
While I do express concern over the character choices in this game, I do have several estimates of who will be in based on the information provided thus far:
Street Fighter:
1.Zangief- SF's main Grappler and main excuse to have a Kuma cameo in the game.
2.R. Mika- Although Abel's already confirmed, Ono just can't resist. Perhaps she can be modified as the command runner of the game ^_^
3.M. Bison/Dictator- SF's main villian and Kazuya's main obstacle besides Ryu (explained later)
4.Dhalsim- Unique gameplay; also adds World Warrior element
5.Gouken- Heihachi's main rival. Attempts to stop Heihachi from pursuing the Satsui No Hado.
Tekken:
1.Jin/Devil Jin(?)- Wishes to challenge Ryu and his ability to control his Dark Hado, similiar to his Devil Gene.
2.Heihachi- Pursuing the Satsui No Hado and those who possess it after learning of Akuma(non-playable if not a boss)'s existance.
3.Eddie Gordo- If Elena isn't in the game, then he's guaranteed to represent Capoeira.
4.Raven- Main Ninja-class fighter.
Why these characters in particular? Well when they said they weren't planning on having an epic storyline tied to this game, I felt that they had some serious potential.
For example: Kazuya may send out another King of Iron Fist Tournament that interests the usual fighters (Zangief, R. Mika, Marduk, and King learn of it from an announcement that interrupts their exhibition tag team match in a trailer perhaps?), but his real intention is to draw out Bison and Shadaloo out. Chun Li, and Guile are sent out to investigate, but Nina Williams and Raven continue to attempt sabotage to their trail for unknown reasons.
Meanwhile during the tournament, Ken continues to grow concerns for Ryu as he still struggles to contain his dark power. But this power interests a new opponent: Heihachi who wishes to exploit the Satsui No Hado despite Gouken continuing to fight to stop him.
Before long, a new war rages between Shadaloo and G. Corp. Bison vs. Kazuya, as each battlefield is littered with their original soldiers plus each of their 'weapons', Seths vs. the newly hacked JACKs.
Can this war be brought to a justly end? Can Ryu continue to overcome the Satsui No Hado or at least control it? If so, would it stand a chance against the Devil Gene? Can the power of Nothingness put a stop to Heihachi's newfound lust for the Forbidden Power? But most importantly...
Who will become the New King of Iron Fist?
@77
mvc3 was supposed to have a story and look wat happened.
LOL, Blanka was not about tricks in CvS 2. He was about roll canceling, ridiculously good normals, and A-Groove.
Story mode for Street Fighter V!!!!!!
Episode 1: SEAN 6 YEARS LATER WINS THE WORLD TOURNAMENT!
