Street Fighter X Tekken: Online training option, pandora mode announced

Posted by Catalyst — September 13, 2011 at 5:35 p.m. PDT

Capcom put out a press release this afternoon detailing things like an online training mode and a 4-player online/offline mode as well. Hit the jump to see everything.

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

The long awaited dream match-up between the two leaders in the fighting genre becomes a reality. Street Fighter X Tekken delivers the ultimate tag team match up featuring iconic characters from each franchise, and one of the most robust character line ups in fighting game history. With the addition of new gameplay mechanics, the acclaimed fighting engine from Street Fighter® IV has been refined to suit the needs of both Street Fighter® and Tekken® players alike.

FEATURES

• Dream Match Up – Dozens of playable characters including Rolento, Zangief, Cammy, Sagat, Hugo, Ibuki, Poison, Dhalsim, Ryu, Ken, Guile, Abel, and Chun-Li from Street Fighter as well as Heihachi, Lili, Julia, Hwoarang, Raven, Kuma, Yoshimitsu, Steve, Kazuya, Nina, King, Marduk, and Bob from Tekken.

• Real-time Tag Battle – Fight as a team of two and switch between characters strategically.

• Briefing Room – Get your combos and timing just right with help from your friends in this online training mode.

• Scramble Mode – Four separate players, online or offline, control each of the four characters on screen for the ultimate battle royale.

• Pandora Mode – Sacrifice your partner in battle for a short, but powerful, boost in strength.

• Familiar Controls - In Street Fighter X Tekken, controls will feel familiar for fans of both series.

• Juggle System – Toss your foes into Tekken -style juggles with Street Fighter X Tekken’s.

• Cross Assault - By using the Cross Gauge, a player can activate Cross Assault and attack with both of their characters at the same time.

• Super Art – Using the Cross Gauge you can immediately unleash a Super Art. Ryu’s famed Shinku Hadoken, Kazuya’s Devil Beam as well as the Tekken characters all have original Super Art techniques. Overview

OK,just make sure that you can trust your partner or he/she would sacrifice you at a moment's notice?

#21

chickenwings said on September 13, 2011 at 5:56 p.m.

@21

from the look of it if u active it the character fighting gets sacrificed. So if ur partner goes it he kills himself.

#22

ElectricBlanka said on September 13, 2011 at 5:57 p.m.

WE WANT BLANKA!!!
And oh yeah, tag team battle is an awesome feature. This could be the thing that can drive the fighting game to new heights. The tourneys for one thing will be ore hype and action packed.

#23

chickenwings said on September 13, 2011 at 5:59 p.m.

@23

Yea, i can see alot of potential with his beast hope. Like canceling juggles with beast hops to extend or go for resets.

Please make him like cvs2. And dont forget honda.

Well, I think its time to bust out some Street Fighter EX3. Get down in dirty with some tag combos. Also, SRCAMBLE MODE! F*CK YEAAH!!

#29

sprflyspdrguy said on September 13, 2011 at 6:09 p.m.

This is too f**king epic! Tag with a partner, training too. Pandora looks great. It says the power-up is short so that will be wild. I cannot wait for this game.

#30

Getdownbrown83 said on September 13, 2011 at 6:10 p.m.

If Sakura makes it in this game and asuka my personal life will be ruined the game of 2012 uuhhhh...and I jizzed in my pants

So it seems we have two comeback mechanics. Which one do you guys think will be better?

Cross Assault or Pandora Mode?

if you pause at the right time in the new promotional trailer you can see one of asuka's gloves, when shows lili's artwork XD

These.

#44

Spazgamer12 said on September 13, 2011 at 7:03 p.m.

@33 I am thinking that Cross Assault is going to be the comeback that I am going to use more than Pandora mode because it is easier to use IMO but the Pandora Mode is probably the second meter and the time that you have for Pandora Mode is the amount of life that the other character has.

#45

Hakansoilbarrel said on September 13, 2011 at 7:04 p.m.

(See why it's good MK9 was a good game? Capcom came out with not only 2v2 mode, but also FREAKING ONLINE TRAINING MODE!)

The actual fact sheet for the info is http://ihogeek.com/2011/09/13/street-...

And weren't they talking about 3DS maybe? I don't see anything about that on the sheet.

#50

Suppi said on September 13, 2011 at 7:35 p.m.

i dont think 2v2 will be going on in tournies much, think of console limitations. They only have 2 usb ports on both ps3 (newer models) and 360. Being that most sticks are wired, unless using wireless pad, there wouldnt be enough ports. The only way i think it would work is if the tourney have the add on for usb ports (but we still dont know if this mode will be local or just online), if there is lan support or playing over the tourney lobby's wifi with 2 consoles. I do hope they find a way to put 2v2 in tournies, it would be nice to see. Now you have to know not just what your opponent is thinking, but what your partner is thinking aswell. :P

Oh yeah. We want ALEX! AND KARIN AND SODOM AND URIEN AND AND............

BLARGHAGHAGH!

I told myself I won't buy Capcom's fighting game on release but 2v2, online training made me want to buy the game on release.

Anyone feeling that there's too many system in the game atm?
Seems much more complicated than MvC3

#59

RA_MO said on September 13, 2011 at 9:02 p.m.

True on the base console itself there is not enough room... Can the make an attachment to create more ports... But of course!!!! <3 At this point in time... The game will only get better and new things will come out around it. If they make it 2v2 mode like MK9 did for this game... They actually could make the attachment for more ports be apart of the collector's edition or something if they wanted or at least that product can be released around the day this game comes out. All in due time.

can UMarvel get a scramble mode?

#61

Combo_Knight said on September 13, 2011 at 9:07 p.m.

I'm glad that there are all these two player modes, and stuff to choose from! The problem is that none of my friends like me enough in game to actually team up with me. :(

#62

TooItchy said on September 13, 2011 at 9:21 p.m.

@59 that is because mvc3 is the most retiredly basic, and overly simplified fighting game in history. I don't have much hope for sfxt, it's gonna be another scrub friendly, fisher price combo system, fighting game. But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

#63

miyodarius said on September 13, 2011 at 9:32 p.m.

Bibuki said on September 14, 2011 at 6:43 a.m.

"Toss your foes into Tekken -style juggles" god no.... haha I'm sure it won't be as awful right? I can hear the commentators already "Oh will he get to the wall? yes!" ugh... Anyway the game looks sick! Online training, it's about time goddamnit. I guess royal rumble will be godlike for tool-assisted fights and stuff. Pandora... hmmm well it doesn't seem like it lasts for long at least. Really unnecessary in my opinion though (like cross assaut).

I get the feeling Capcom will never make a hardcore fighting game again. Oh well it's still pretty fun.

#77

ID99 said on September 14, 2011 at 8:02 a.m.

so much win already! the only thing i don't like so far is rolento being ibuki's partner, rolento should be with sodom, and ibuki with MAKI!!!

#78

Halos said on September 14, 2011 at 8:52 a.m.

@51 well they can always just connect a 2.0 usb hub to 1 usb port and then connect all of the controllers into the hub. i have xbox360/wii/ps3 and a usb hubs works perfect. i mainly keep it attached to the xbox since thats what i mostly play. on the usb port in front of the xbox i got my 16GB flash drive with my gamertag on it arcade stick in the 2nd port and in the back usb port i got my usb hub which i have my xbox camera, xbox wireless headset charger cable, ps3 wireless headset charger cable and a 1TB external hdd which i have pictures/movies/music in it to play on my xbox.
so with a $10 2.0 usb hub it will be possible for both xbox 360 and ps3 to have tag tourney's on the same console so they dont have to hook up online and worry about lag, having internet set up for the consoles or having a 2 systems connected to each other for system link.

#79

Halos said on September 14, 2011 at 9:03 a.m.

@78 im not trying to start a argument or talk sh*t but does it really matter who anybody's partner is in the trailers? its just a trailer to introduce the character, its not like u have to pick that team every time u want to play as either of the characters. maybe sodom/maki arent in the game. i think they are just revealing random characters together as they finish making them. like when the 1st trailer came out they had paired up ryu and chunli which doesnt make sense but as soon as they made ken they paired ken with ryu instead of chunli with ryu. to me it doesnt really matter, every time they come out with a new trailer showing off characters and modes the game looks more and more epic! at 1st i wasnt sure if i was gonna get it cuz something looked kind of wack to me but after the trailer that came out yesterday im sold. ill be at the gamestop midnight launch for this title.
