Speaking with Eurogamer about a potential port of Street Fighter X Tekken to Nintendo's 3DS, Capcom producer, Yoshinori Ono, had this to say:
"I think that's an amazing thing. The next step would be to have Street Fighter X Tekken, which is the celebration of all top fighting gamers' dreams in one, to be on 3DS, where you can play anywhere you want.
"That's an ultimate idea. Personally speaking, it should happen. We should probably start making more noise about this. But officially, nothing has been considered yet."
Ono later went on to add that with the standard 6-button layout, he's hoping to add an assist feature to Street Fighter X Tekken, which sounds very similar what's in the Marvel vs. Capcom games.
I'd rather just one on one. If I want assists, I'll play Marvel 3.
Maybe if it was an option, I would not mind, but if permanent, then hellllllllllll no.
omg nooo plz mvc3 sucks azz with that and spamin just keep it one on one or maybe you can do what mk9 is doing when the character tags out second character come's in to continue the combo but plz NOO ASSISTS i can't wait for this game hope you don't mess up on it
ahh really ? assists? come on capcom, are you deliberately trying to make this game suck *sigh* i was so sure this game would be great but now after this news... instinct is telling me a different tale lool
No input shortcuts and no auto-correct. Lord forbid I get Marduk's qcf 1 for doing a hcb forward command 1 with Marduk.
lol. assist in SFxT. is this guy high. put in assist and its no sale for me.
@thefighter01
MK9 does have assists. If you watch one of the videos you can see a character juggling, kung lao pops in with a hat throw and leaves, the point character keeps juggling.
And I see no problem with assists here. I'm sure the thought was taboo when it was introduced in MSHvSF, but it worked out okay there. It shouldn't be an issue here.
"Please Ono no shortcuts!
Shortcuts will ruin the Tekken characters!"
What the heck are you people talking about?
Have you guys even played Tekken? Most of the button commands are chains or simple presses like 1,1,2 or df+2. The game doesn't depend on fireball motions or DPs like a SF game. So, how would shortcuts "ruin" the Tekken characters?
(Sounds great to me Ono. I would like less talking *COUGH*AEONCONSOLES*COUGH*and more gaming, though.)
I can't imagine how assist will work in this type of game.
@JasonLee - #3
"Street Fighter x Tekken" IS a VS. game, dumbass. lol
Xykes, a lot of characters in Tekken have moves that could get screwed up with shortcuts. It could present a problem to any character with a crouch dash or any character that has a very important move that is a long command.
#19 Not really. VS. in the community language is the standard fight system in place in all vs games like MvC2 and 3 which is why there is an X instead of a Vs. It's not a matter if it's called Vs or X but what #3 was refering to was VS like the MvC games. Thats just the language people speak. Im sure he knows what he's talking about.
SFxT will be two on two but there won't be super jumps hyper combos, Tri Jumps air dashes ect. (I hope not) and my assumption is there won't be spamming tag assist but probably an original assist system with some limits.
That would be very interesting... Exagerated SF4 gameplay with assistis. This might be a good idea.
And will shut everyone that is saying dumb sh-t like "booo this is just another SF4" when it clearly is not. Even if they don't confirm this. It's completely different.
hmm, i wonder if tekken x sf will be 2 on 2 like sf x tekken. if so then it may use a similar engine to tekken tag 2.
I'm a fan of shortcuts in SF4 games. With a square-gate fightstick, you can do Z-Slide motions just by sliding the joystick back and forth along the bottom, and you can even start up the first half of some Ultras (think most shotos) the same way. It prevents those situations where I might accidentally jump by over exaggerating, and it lets me feel like I have a lot more control over my character.
Now, I haven't played Tekken in years so I can't really speak for or against shortcuts in that regard, but I'd be incredibly disappointed if they didn't include them on the Street Fighter side of things. They're terrific!
@ NINJA
I really don't know. If it plays like Street Fighter, I might get it. If they want to make something like Marvel vs Capcom, I just don't buy it.
And there was a leaked list with characters posted somewhere. I hope that list is false. Even Balrog, Fei long & Sagat weren't on the list. I want atleast all the important characters from Super Turbo.
Assists are fine. But if they are gonna do it like SF Alpha then add Guy and Cody, and give us T.Hawk and Dee Jay. They are ALWAYS left out. C.Viper sucks in Mvc3, so lets bring in Juri. and for Tekken, well Alex(raptor) has to be in, if Roger doesnt get the cut, and Panda had a way better fighting style then that other bear fighter, and hell capcom, and Pac-Man, and Mega Man as fighters, you know you guys want to see that. Make them as Pre-Order Bonuses, everyone will love that. And King better be one of the best in the game, Just like in Tekken 6.
Dude, come on, Kuma and Panda have been pallet swaps for YEARS. You have to know better than that.
King will probably King in TxSF, SFxT has a lot more Projectiles, and a 2D plane. The TxSF, if I'm right, and has 2 on 2, will more than likely have the Tekken Tag Tournament Assists. SFxT? Who knows. People have crazy minds. Hopefully Capcom and Namco will put in the choice to have 1 on 1's, 1/2 on 1/2's, 2 on 2's, and, basically, a Ratio Mode? Also, here's to the hope of Sakura and Karin get in for Street Fighter side, and Asuka and Lili get in for Tekken! I wanna see Sakura beat up Lili and Karin as usual.
Maybe a Dramatic mode fight style in SFxT?
@Dark Yellow, i know that but i feel that Panda has a better fighting style than Kuma, i dont know why but it feels better. But either way i see them as 2 diffrent fighters.
To tell you the truth, I see that Ono is using innovation in Street Fighter x Tekken. Assist? I want to see how it plays out.
So far I'm liking this idea of a assist in this game. I wanna see what more this game has to offer.
@SAMURAI
Why do people want all the super turbo characters for? I mean there going to copy and paste most of the ssf4 characters anyway so we'll get most for sure. But since the roster is said to only be 35 like ssf4 than they better have some new sf characters like rolento,karin and alex as well.
And lets add Mega Man and Pac-Man. Capcom and Namco want to see the fight. Just make them DLC bonuses.
I think this could work as long as you are limited to how many you can do in a round
Console comes first for me, but considering I'm getting a 3DS this weekend along with SSF4 3D, I'm all for some 3DS love. Plus since it's Ono's team, chances are good that they'll find a few cool, new features to add to the 3DS version.
As for the assist, I wouldn't mind them bringing back the Rival Schools system.
Or just bringing back Rival Schools :P
Should have been Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat. It'd finally give Guile a chance to really rip Bison's head off (or vice versa).
@SAMURAI
are you serious? you know that karin was 1 of the best fighters in alpha so what the fudge are you talking about ? in fact I hope your whole comment was sarcastic because made you seem..... of lower intelligence LMAO
@FREE1UP
just wtf
@ GUNNAH_MAN
I don't care how good Karin was. It's a schoolgirl with a stupid haircut. Take a look at guys like Sagat, Balrog and Fei Long, these guys are real fighters.
Give me one good reason why they shouldn't be in the game and put Karin in it instead of them.
@SAMURAI
You keep talking about sagat,balrog and fei long like their the best fighters or something but their the weakest minus sagat. I don't want all the same characters I can play in SSF4 just to see a match-up you'd think nothing about after the first time you see it. A reason why they shouldn't be in the game again minus sagat is because they aren't more popular or wanted than karin,rolento or alex.
Get that real fighter crap otta here this is a vs series and not many people want a sf4 roster vs tekken roster when I can play all those in sf4 minus the tekken side. You are also in the minority here so it doesn't really matter,I don't want assist in the game though i'll agree to that but you obviously just want characters only you use and what no one else wants. Also karin has a hairdo not a haircut just saying.
@GUNNAH_MAN
Don't worry about SAMURAI he's usually doesn't like anything especially if its something where it doesn't go his way. he doesn't like mvc3,he doesn't like balance changes I don't know WTF he likes. I also don't know what the flip free be smoking either.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Keep it 1v1 with no assists. Please dont ruin it
Hey @metroidG idk bout you but fei,boxer and sagat are perfectly good fighters especially what some folks have been saying about fei in arcade edition ssfiv. Everything is perosnal opinion though. Karen was a beast in alpha 3 I wouldn't mind her in a vs series
FK YOUR CHARACTERS SAMURAI AND BESIDES I HAVEN'T SEEN OR PLAY AS KARIN ALONG TIME AND THERES OTHER STREET FIGHTER CHARACTERS LET THEM HAVE A SHOT
i got a good feeling that capcom are working on more characters. think about it. we only had one video of it shown. if it was all just copy and paste characters, we probably wouldve seen a new video by now. the first video of it been out for a good minute.
its also crazy that a people dont like karin just because of her outfit. if she had a different outfit would yall like her then?
I'd like to see some chracters from the first street fighter return. It would just flip it a little bit and would be a great ode to the history of street fighter. So other than Ryu, Akuma, Sagat, Guile, Blanka, Bison, C-viper Zangief, Abel( the obvious mainstay chracters from their previous titles). They should be putting in Chracters who haven't appeared in the new games.
I'm pretty sure Ono is thinking "ok, if every 1/2 out of 10 players of our fanbase show theirselves open to this, it's definitely gonna happen".
Producers do know people are not usually open to changes. But the fact is, without changes, every entertainment business would be doomed right from the start.
Personally speaking, let this assist feature come.
@26
From a business perspective, I think you're most likely right.
@Sektah84
I didn't mean any of them are weak but fei has recently been good in games as well as sagat. honestly fei and sagat should be in the game though but not balrog. If there's only 35 fighters like ono says than that's 18 a side. There's 17 fighters from super turbo so that would mean we only get 1 new character for sf side if that is the case. They need to cut at least 6 or 7 super turbo characters and add characters from alpha and 3 that fans actually like more than some classic characters. especially characters that are in every sf game in existence.
I can already imagine the 3 types of assists:
•(Anti Ground) type1
•(Anti Air) type2
•(Special) type3
Jack (Rocket Arm) type1
Ken (Shoryuken) type2
Elena (Healing) type3
I think one assist type per character would be in the game's best interest. And to keep with the pace of the game, they could probably alleviate spamming by providing an assist meter or something. That's just my thoughts tho. I honestly wouldn't care if it made it into the game or not.
THE FANBASE HATED VIPER IN MVC3. SO KICK HER OUT OF THIS GAME AND ADD JURI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
we need capcom vs snk style, not mvc. and must for ps3, 360, and maybe 3ds. thats all u need
Ryu
Chun-li
Gouken
Sagat
Dhalsim
C-viper
Abel
Charlie
Blanka
Elena
Alex
Hugo
Karin
Rolento
Lee( Street Fighter)
Retsu( Street Fighter)
Geiki(Street Fighter)
Mike( Street Fighter)
That would be a fair, varied chice of chracters including mainstays and the return of older characters. My main characters from SSF4 aren't in there but that's the point, new game, new chracters.
Please Ono no shortcuts!
Shortcuts will ruin the Tekken characters!
