Street Fighter X Tekken release info for North America and Europe

Posted by Nyoro — October 14, 2011 at 3:32 p.m. PDT

UPDATE: A PC version of Street Fighter X Tekken has been confirmed to be in development.

Yoshinori Ono at the New York Comic Con panel revealed several several things at the Street Fighter X Tekken panel today according to IGN. The first thing he did was confirm that Rufus was definitely in the game, though this didn't seem to draw much applause.

The second thing he confirmed was that Street Fighter X Tekken will be released on March 6, 2012 for North America and March 9, 2012 for Europe.

What's wrong with Rufus? He's certainly more interesting than Bob, at least I think so.

Rufus announced and that's it for SF side. Well, so far. Tekken characters got a teaser trailer like the recent SF teaser trailer. http://twitter.com/#!/Gavin4L
This guy claims he saw Mokujin, Jack, and Jinpachi as the real characters.

Nyoro said on October 14, 2011 at 3:37 p.m.

The teasers will probably be up on YouTube soon.

Lemres said on October 14, 2011 at 3:37 p.m.

Oh yea, Audience was booing at the auto guard/auto throw escape gems lol This looks like a complete mess right now. Karin will be the only thing that can keep me from looking at their news

Lemres said on October 14, 2011 at 3:38 p.m.

^ I meant will make me follow the news

You better believe I was the one sent this in. B)

All I want is some concrete info on the Gem system.

Why you do dis, Ono.

J said on October 14, 2011 at 3:42 p.m.

The thought of Mokujin being in this game gives me a woody.

Benjeezy said on October 14, 2011 at 3:44 p.m.

"Tournament players will want to use this"

Holy smokes, Seth has brass balls.

Rufus is telling the leak-listers to eff off (I think), and the gem thing is...iffy. Tell me how to get them and I'll know how to feel.

@ #4

Actually, auto throw escape might actually be useful when playing online. No more 50/50 throw tech's.

Misleading title is misleading.

Thought there was actual info on the gem system.

Mokujin, Jack, and Jinpachi? what about female Tekken characters? last time i checked the number of Capcom female characters overwhelmed number of Tekken female cast...this is just wrong in my opinion number should be equal for each side...

Don't worry about R.Mika, Karin, Q etc.

You can bet that some or all of them will be announced for 'Super-Dooper Street Fighter X Tekken' within 6 months of the first (beta) version getting released.

Capcom will hoover up another 6 months of free PR across the blogs by doing more release trailers, and promising to fix the broken aspects that they have deliberately built into the game

Then you can pay an extra bunch of cash to go pick them up!

Same goes for the Tekken fan faves too!

It's good to see that the release date is March 6 of next year.That way,Ono will have enough time to add more characters and content.

From what I've been told by my friend at NYCC, he says that some gems have costs. I don't know if it's all of them though. The example he gave was the auto block gem costing 1/3 of your cross gauge to activate.

This whole gems business is leaving a bad taste in my mouth... Doesn't it dick with the balance entirely?

Right now all I really want is Sakura and Karin
But wouldn't mind Lars asuka and alisa

Nago said on October 14, 2011 at 4:22 p.m.

According to the blog, the pre-order comes with exclusive gems. So not only is it a scrub ass hand holding mechanic, but only certain people will have certain advantages. And we all know damn well they're going to try to sell these things as DLC.

I really hope they drop GFWL for this one, Steamworks is where it's at.

Osbjorn said on October 14, 2011 at 5:12 p.m.

I usually never whine about Capcom games
but the gem mechanics are probably going to destroy this game

#36

Getdownbrown83 said on October 14, 2011 at 5:39 p.m.

just get this tournament game thing out your head this is strictly just for fun we got our tournament game SSF4 this is just a wacky fun crossover unless you embrace that concept your doomed for dissapointment i for one wouldnt mind alittle party awesomeness its just a wild game with wild mechanics meant for fun most players who have played it said it was ridiculously fun

#37

Oroku_Saki said on October 14, 2011 at 5:40 p.m.

Awesome, going to get this for both PC and X360. With the PC version, I'll NEVER have to buy a costume pack, not when I can make my own.
Can't wait to make my own stages as well.

zores said on October 14, 2011 at 8:30 p.m.

Steamworks for PC version please!

#39

Soriphen said on October 14, 2011 at 8:52 p.m.

@37

Just because it's a wacky fun crossover game doesn't mean it can't be viable for competitive/tourny play. Ono's goal isn't to alienate what makes SF, which is the competitive scene. It can both be fun and whacky as well as competitive lol. CvS2 is one example, minus the roll canceling.
