Seth Killian has been making rounds to a lot of interviewers over the past several weeks. This time, he's being interviewed courtesy of Techland. The topics include the fighting game community's improved knowledge base, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Street Fighter X Tekken, and Tekken X Street Fighter. You can catch a piece of the interview below and the rest here.
Techland: The other big thing you have coming in the fighting game genre is obviously Street Fighter X Tekken. What has the response been so far as fighting tournament season has progressed and what kind of feedback are you hearing from the hardcore fans? What do they want?
Seth Killian: This one actually worries me. Because you know the hardcore fighting guys are not shy about telling you what they think. If they're not happy, they're going to let you know. This isn't even sort of, “I'm sure I can put a shine on this if I wanted to,” but this is really the worrisome truth, which is that people are just having fun with it, and they're like, “This is awesome. I'm having a great time.”
And I'm like, “Well, don't you want to complain about...no? Nothing?” And so the element that they've complained about most had been the HUD and that the life bars were not clearly visible because they're orange but a different kind of orange and then ringed in orange flame. I was like, "Touché." We took that back to the dev team and they've already made adjustments there to try and clear that up. But I was like, “This is really the worst thing you guys have to say? Because I don't believe that for a second.” We're going to hear about it.
So, for me, it's just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Like everybody is setting me up with, “Oh, it's great. It's great. It's great.” And right before it comes out, I'll get hammered with, “Oh, this is horrible.” But, as of right now, it's been unadulterated love which is a little eerie.

All I need is Juri confirmed and I will be totally pumped for this.
I can see where Seth is coming from, his fear is understandable. I sometimes have my worries about the game, I pay attention to a lot of the feedback from people who have played the builds of it, but so far it sounds like a really fun game. The more footage I watch, the more excited I get.
@boko
lol i know right i cant wait until the tokyo game show when they anounce who is next the waiting is killing me JIN :D
u cant plz everyone in this community. some people are just never satisfied and will find anything to complain about.
Put Elena in the game...
and make the game balanced, whatever it takes. Then people will only be complaining about nonsense or gui related items.
People don't complain about SFxT because all of the complainers have given up on the SF4 fork of the series.
@6
I hear you man, just waiting to see if she's in this game i mean it's on my list but if she is there it will move straight to #1
Capcom should realease a closed beta for SfxT. Only accessed by those who pre-order it, or are hardcore fans.
When is this coming out anyway? My bet is Q1'12. Amazon is taking pre-orders and posted the release date as December 31 2012, we all know what that means.
Someone should ask if the dodge command against Fireballs is Tekken exclusive.
I'll be pretty upset if it is.. Some SF chars will be boned hardcore.
Don't know what I'm talking about?
Look at recent gameplay vids and watch Kazuya or Kuma duck under fireballs with no problem. The window seem long too.
Sakura Karin and Xiaoyu Please!!! Just Dont Make this game a sausage fest
still waiting for Akuma, M.Bison, Vega, Jin, Law and Paul
Looking forward to SFxT the more I hear about it...
