Joystiq managed to catch up with Yoshinori Ono at TGS 2011 to ask him some questions about Street Fighter X Tekken on the Playstation Vita.
I'm really liking the idea of a portable arcade stick
So then I can assume that I'll be able to play as those ridiculous, little cats on my PS3, too?
They could make it so that you can attach the Vita to the top of the stick and prop it up on an angle or something.
Or will it be like a dock?
You have the arcade stick dock and you just insert the Vita into a slot and it connects like a mini arcade cabinet?
Or would it be like a USB connection that you'll have to find a way to prop the Vita up and play away from the Vita?
whats wrong with the D-Pad? I loved playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 on my PSP because of it. Though a mini fight stick does sound kinda funny.
What I would like to know is: will SFxTK have color swap for the Player 2 or alternate costumes like on Tekken?
Can someone ask Ono that in an interview. . .
@14 I'm thinking if / when alt costumes are revealed for Street Fighter cross Tekken they will be looks we've never seen before ;] I think it would be Funny as ***L if Ryu had a Umehara Daigo style outfit xD hahaha! Sneakers, Jeans, T-shirt and a Parka with the kanji for "Beast" on the back of it「獣」
@15 Well.............
It would defeat the purpose of playing on the vita. The point is to give you the arcade experience in the palm(s) of your hands, not the other way around.
It's a novel idea, i'd like to see how it would work but it would have to still be portable and not clunky in such a way that it defeats the purpose.
It's an open market, if Capcom beats everyone to it and it succeeds, they stand to profit big off of it. It's all about capitalizing, even if it sounds silly.
@17 Awww Snap :P guess I should've known we wouldn't get free alterantes, that'd be too good to be true!!
I want Sodom...after he got deconfirmed in that one...Mad Gear Kabuki stage.
great Dlc already underway -__-' is so much to ask that we get everything in one package:character,music,costumes ect.. am i the only one that thinks we have enter into some kind of Zone where It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of greed and imagination. It is an area which we call the DLC-ZONE.
That one guy is always going to post in these wanting Elena/Christie/Eddy and I am always going to say this: Give me my Juri! Better yet, give us Christie/Eddy (or even Tiger), Elena and Juri!
Juri vs Hwoarang needs to happen and I'm sure Elena and Eddy or Christie would be great friends/partners.
Was Tiger the AFRO Eddy¿ I've forgotten, but that sounds familiar.
I don't understand how anyone can be surprised by DLC announcements anymore. It's part of the business model in this day and age. I think it's just time to accept it and move on. We cry about DLC when we get it, and we cry more about a new disc release and how it should have been DLC when we get that. Enough already. Fighting games already offer more entertainment value per dollar than about anything I can think of... more content later on down the pipe is only a good thing imo.
As for the portable arcade stick, hell yeah bring it on! I'm not interested in having an arcade experience in the palm of my hand because immediately it's not an arcade experience. What I am interested in is having a portable method to hit up the training room when I'm on vacation, at work on break, or the TV is tied up for some other reason. Hell, just give me a converter to hook up my TE stick and I'll be happier than they could imagine.
@31
WW are what made sf, get over it. If that was the case ryu and ken wouldnt be in the game, lord knows that there the most used characters in sf for the last 20 years.
i like the idea of the portable mini arcade stick. its not going to be anything like your home setup, but should be better than the standard pad n buttons.
with these and other fighting game announcements, as well as a hd remix of ffx, the vita is looking like something i will have to get.
mini arcade stick, I wonder how it'll work out. Also it was obvious to me that they were gonna do DLC(wether it be costumes or characters). Making the Vita and ps3 share DLC would be great considering the fact you wouldn't want to buy the same thing twice.

miniature arcade stick by Madcatz?! *using kid voice* Create it, please! I can't wait to see it... I have thought about buying an iKan Real arcade stick but I have feelings that buttons are not good and little too hard to press.
Will we get Elena, Eddy, or Christie though?
