The Xbox 360 version of Street Fighter X Tekken will not be getting any exclusive characters, but they could have potentially picked up Master Chief (Halo) and Marcus Fenix (Gears of War), if negotiations were successful with Microsoft."We do have the exclusive characters for the Sony platform. We have Cole, the two Sony cats, Kuro and Toro. But basically for the Xbox 360, we were in discussions with them (Microsoft) for which character to put in as an exclusive, but we weren't able to decide on a character because of differences in timing and things like that. So unfortunately for Street Fighter X Tekken, only the PlayStation family will be getting the exclusive characters, but it's something we wish could have happened. It's just too bad, basically.
"In terms of characters we wish we could have put in the game, Master Chief or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War would have been really cool, but it was just really difficult. We have Cole from inFamous on PS3, which is really cool, but that's just the way it turned out."

Oh well. No use crying over spilled milk.
People will still enjoy the game regardless.
Just play.
I would have used Master Chief... As long as his moves were a little more inspired than in DoA4.
Still getting it for Xbox though.
Im definitely going with the 360 copy! I prefer my copy SF x Tekken to only have characters from either Street Fighter or Tekken! great news imo.
I would have disliked it. It's the same way Mortal Kombat wanted Master Chief or Dom from Gears of War. I happy enough with the Spartan in Dead or Alive, I wouldn't like to have MC in a Capcom fighter.
Marcus in a Capcom game....I wonder if he would have played like Sharon in the EX series. Anyway, I'm happy those characters didn't get added to the X360 roster.
I'm 360 user, and i'm glad about this !
I simply hate additional characters which does not belongs to the original game univers, as Starwars caracters in Soulcalibur IV ... it's just nonsense !
If they wish to add caracters , just pick up from SF or Tekken !
Come on! Even as a PS3 owner, THOSE characters are much cooler than Cole! I would've loved to seen them in this game!
I have NO disrespect toward Xbox, in fact I PREFER Xbox's online to Playstation's. This really pisses me off.
dang it...i was really hoping the rumor about mortal kombat in the xbox version to be true TT-TT
well its not like i havent seen this b4 (doa4) :/ and dosnt fenix use an assault rifle :/
Who cares. They'll be banned in tournaments and it's not going to be the reason why I buy the game.
And guys, if you're not gonna buy the game, then don't. But don't say a game is horrible before it even gets released. How can you base an opinion on a game when you haven't even played it? We don't need to hear all this angst towards this game.
GTFO, NOT FAIR AT ALL. I WANT EXCLUSIVE CHARACTERS TOO FOR XBOX
i'm glad the xbox version has no exclusive characters
I consider it the unraped and unmolested version
exclusive characters end up tourney banned anyway, so whats the point?
Seriously I'm down with the wackiness of the game, but it's already wacky enough. No need for unrelated characters in my opinion. I WOULD have been hyped for the Cole Train though. I mean Sony got their Cole, Microsoft got theirs. I'd have mained Cole Train and Balrog and bullied errbody. Not enough Black characters... again. And most of the asian characters look white haha whatever.

I doubt Cole will be available in serious tourneys.
console exclusive characters are banned in tournament anyway, so who gives a powerglove?
This is great news for 360 users. Now you don't have to deal with exclusive chars online that will be banned in tourneys.
I would hate to fight those short cats online anyway... seriously, their hitbox must be so damn awkward.
Yeah Oh well indeed, Good for PS3 they got cole and those cats..... Hoenstly I didn't even know who they were before SFxT
Seems honest, and succinct his explanation no complaints from me. Although I'm glad I have money, and am able to afford both systems, and sfxt for both.
sigh...this isn't Street Fighter X Tekken anymore...
cole better be more worthless than phoenix wright....so dissaointed that this won't be an even balance between consoles...and i would have loved to saw at ryu's face with a lancer chainsaw... phooey!
In the wise words of Bushinryu...
PROFOUND SADNESS!!!!!!!
IDIOTS!!!
They could have gave the 360 players exclusive Capcom or Namco characters!
360 owners could have pulled Gene (GodHand) and Taki (Soul Calibur)
To say SONY only gets extra is NOT PROFESSIONAL!
but i guess they figured since MK9 got away of it...
Console exclusive = a meer toy. Nothing we'll use literally anyway. Maybe fun combo video's and online, but they'll be banned from tournaments which is where the entire hype of the fighting game industry comes from. Which is why it's fair for us to be extremely spectacle on lolgems.
F-ck Master Chief and F-ck Marcus Fenix.
Jake Sully from Avatar!!! Put in Jake Sully from Avatar and make Guile his rival!!!
Jake Sully vs Guile would be EPIC!!!
I am so furious over something so meaningless!! ARRGGG! TRUE, LEGITIMATE RAGEEE!! This is the worst thing to ever happen to anyone ever!!!!!!
@52
"Which is why it's fair for us to be extremely spectacle on lolgems." Yes, our lolgems need glasses?
In the end it doesnt matter.
90% of you will just use Ryu and Ryu with blonde hair or
Ryu and Ryu who can teleport with air fireball
lol at the people bashing us 360 owners sayin we have no console exclusives XD
Yall are gonna wish yall was us when u get owned by small cats and overused electric dude.
Im kinda mad we didnt get anyone but hey im gettin the game regardless. I wasnt getting it just cuz of the 3 chars.
@49 I think that was just for the PS Vita version of the game
Hey if I'm paying $65 bucks for the game, you better believe i'm buying the one with more characters in it regardless if i think they are cool or not. People saying the characters are dumb or dont belong etc. are clearly butt hurt. There is no way to justify buying the inferior version besides friends buying it as well or lack of PS3 arcade stick. Its 2012, how do people still not own both consoles?
@56
lol that was Ono-esque!
"Which is why it's fair for us to be extremely speculate on lolgems"
I think that's what he meant...
And i still think the best guest character in a fighter is link in sc. Of course is cause im a zelda fan.. :p though for some reason im not digging exclusive characters for capcom fighters. It just always has me thinking the what if they put this character i want instead of a guest.
eh, i grew a strong disliking for Halo anyway, Fenix would've been cool though, but i wish they'd do what they did with the PS3 version where two of the exclusives were very obscure cartoony looking cats and one much more serious character but for the 360 version we could have Banjo and Conker as the cartoony looking characters and the third character could be Master Cheif and Marcus
As a 360-only owner (not happy about that at all, btw) I can honestly say I don't even know what 360-exclusive character would work in SF anyway. I mean, a gear would work in MK because Jax is damn near a gear himself (probably what Cole would be like without the steroid-jacked-upedness), but they wouldn't really fit right. Fable guy doesn't work. A Spartan (or any other Halo character) doesn't work. I guess Joanna Dark would be a decent Nina counter, but honestly I think I'm about the only person who would give a damn if she was announced. Maybe one of the kids from Infinite Discovery or Magna Carta 2 or something.
If Mika was going in the game it would be nice to have her Rival with a Rumble Rose or something maybe.
@ #7, All console exclusive characters are banned from tournements, just like Oni. #kappa
We need Jake Sully and Tsu-Tey from Avatar.
Jake Sully = Ryu
Tsu-Tey = Kazuya
Make Guile and Rolento as their rivals.
@61 it's nice that your mom and dad still buy stuff for you.
I have one console and i'm glad it's not the one with faggy ass cats. I'm not paying 60 bux either so enjoy what you feel is a much better version while i continue to laugh at you're entitled ass.
Duecez
I remember a time when the 360 had all the exclusives lol. How times change.
@82
Except for you right? Too bad the serious X-Box players will still have to bother with you.
The 360 crowd has shown that its a classless group of thugs. Enjoy your Failed, wack a$$ HD DVD add on, RROD and an inferior line up of exclusive titles.
All the while paying $60 a year to play an inferior, cheap hunk of junk.
360 owners - Nyah nyah we have better online
PS3 owners - ours is free
360-u get what u pay for
Ps3-How's Uncharted, Infamous, Ico/SotD, FF7, Chrono Trigger, Flower, God Hand, Stacking, The Last Guy, Justice League Unlimited, Kratos in MK9, Cole in SFxTekken and Back to the Future? Oh that's right...sry for your loss! I guess it sucks to get online free...BTW HOLD DAT ISH!
ps3 mk gets Kratos and 360 no one, Ps3 sfxt gets Cole (who will blow ass cause they won't make a console exclusive character top tier) and retarded cats, and 360 gets no one. how about Capcom decides on characters from franchises on ALL CONSOLES like Ezio in SC5.
Who cares. 99.99% of people buying this game will be for SF or tekken characters.
The posters claiming the ps3 gamers will be bombarded with losses to small cats and cole, please stop as that statement is redundant. I highly doubt they'll be seen.
I'd give them a month, maybe even two if im being generous, of the honeymoon period of trolling to end, even then it will be one or two guys creasing up at the salty elitist's expense.
OK, so getting the PS3 ver means its been raped and is unclean just because it has extra characters? While getting the 360 with bonus characters means its the pure and clean ver? Jeez, so many of you are so ignorant that its laughable. Hell TxSf might get a Naruto character because of the collaboration with Lars in Ultimate Ninja, and will definitely be given some/alot rage just because "Its not pure". Its a crossover game, meaning its suppose to put in new and unique characters.
@90
Are you kidding? I (we) don't want to "rub anything in your face". People started trashing PS3 like Sony/PS3 did somthing wrong by putting cole is in SFxT.
Capcom seems to have done the asking. Blame them and Microsoft.
Like its a Trash version because it has more content. Whatever guys.
@88
Brilliant post. Just glad I won't have to switch disks every time I move in GTA5.
God, how could this site get caught in the console war?
I like how a chunk of you talk like you go to tournaments when I am willing to bet maybe five people who posted on this thread actually have been in one and maybe only three of you give a crap.
That out of the way I do feel sorry for 360 users they will not have as much content due to negotiations not going through fast enough. Which is why they are not in the game. Seriously people the story says that. Try reading instead of assuming capcom is being mean to the console. And yes it would be harder to get a character Microsoft owns since it is an American company and this game is not exclusive to 360.
Also what is with all you idiots and the flame war BS. I am lucky to own all three(I bought the ps3 and wii on my own and was lucky and found a 360 and the gabage works fine) it's all about preference. All three systems have their weak and strong points. And honestly the PS3's internet connection is the same speed as 360. The only reason a game on one may have better connection then the other is because of netcode. If one versions netcode is bunk it will be worse then the other. But seriously the console war stuff is dumb. ust play the games on the system you like and know not everyone shares the same opinion as you and stop acting like a child.
One final note to the people complaining about guest characters in general, why do you take a game with two groups of cartoon characters hitting each other seriously? It's just a game if you don't like a character don't play them. That is what I do.
#98
and in the 90s the every game was platformers. Every know and then there will be a game genre that will dominate. Also GOW isn't an fps. It's a 3rd person shooter
Im glad that Nathan Drake wasnt chosen. Ono's Team would have him look like a Looney Toon!
#101
if you don't like them you can always just not play them. which makes me wonder why you give a crap
@96, you can't be serious of course this site would get in the console war. DLC bashing, character hate, a game is out and then the super version and then the arcade and everyone gets mad/still buys. Yes this site will of course fall into the console war
@97, what made you go into the garbage. It either must have been nothing inside or that 360 was really clean.
IMAGINE IF THEY HAD A 360 VERSION AND PS3 VERSION OF THE GAME. Everyone gets ryu, ken, kayzua, and nina but then the rest of the cast is different for ps3 and 360. Like paul and law on the ps3 while 360 gets bruce and zafina. Then a real debate will go through, and all that tournament talk will go nuts.
Sure woulda been cool if Master Chief or a Spartan was in. That'd make two fighting games a Spartan from Halo was in, but since this a cross over with Namco why not talk to the folks at Soul Calibur about bring Spawn in? He was the XBOX exclusive character for Soul Calibur 2.
#104
On my way to college there are nicer homes and i saw it sticking out of the trash can
wow just wow all this hate cause capcom put exclusive characters in the game, so what i don't personally care for the sony mascots but cole mcgrath does look interesting. So what if there banned in tournament not everyone that buys a fighting does so to play in tournament.
@107
nicer homes dont mean sh!t they still got dirty garbage, but hey anothers mans trash is another mans treasure
GREAT FIND!!!
ohhhhhh now I wish sf x tk had ps3 and 360 only versions like those pokemon games. OH THE CRAZINESS THAT WOULD APPEAR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHCdK...
^^^ i would watch with a smile while roasting marshmellows
LOL. This games sux enough. Don't make it worse by adding Master Cheif and Marcus Fenix. LOLOLOLOL
Heck extra characters are always welcomed even if the are utterly insane for what I would have expected
Damn, I thought the xbox might have had avatars instead of Kuro/Toro which could have been fun for a bit
@78 you mad bro?? Yea you mad. An ignorant post like that just screams rage
CAPCOM HOW DARE YOU GIVE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT TO PS3 USERS!!!! I am so mad I will now break MY ARCADE STICK!! This is my 4th stick but I DONT CARE DAMMIT!!!!! I have an old Buster Bros game that will be broken as a result of this. I better see Sherlock Holmes in the 360 version throwing books as an assist and concentrating in order to use my new gem FOCUS which allows my second character to concentrate in the background without being hurt while building a bomb to end the game, like ULTRA PANDORA MODE. GO CAPCOM GIVE ME WHAT I WANT BECAUSE THIS IS THE INTERNET AND I HAVE A VOICE!!!!
Woah, lots of biased comments here. Might as well throw mine in too.
Not all tournaments ban console exclusive characters.
Having more content on one console matter more to some people than having a "pure" version.
It's very unlikely that console exclusive characters are going to be improve or degrade the online experience.
LOL @ Playslaves here boasting. I don't care for exclusives chars that will be tourney banned. All you do is boast about this long list of exclusives. Quality over quantity, hell Toyota is THE best car manufacturer in the world and has less car models than any other company. No need to waste $ on useless crap, most of Sony's 1st party exclusives are crap games and anyways what's the point of releasing 10 exclusives in one year since no one will buy all of them? They'll end up buying one or two only cause they won't have enough money will all the third parties thrown into the mix also, that's hurting their own game sales and wasting production money. You guys don't know anything about making good business.
Rugg you forget when the same thing happened to XBL a few years back. If hackers want to they can take any service out.
As a person who has used both they connectivity of both is the same quality. The biggest difference is PSN doesn't have party chat. That being said usually when I play a big online with friends I use skype to talk. It's easier to hear then on my TV. Seriously this console war stuff is stupid. Why not just enjoy the system you prefer and let others do the same with theirs? Do you have to somehow justify yourselves due to some kind of insecurity? And that doesn't just go to Xbox users I am talking about ps3 wii and pc as well. Stop acting like little kids on the playground.
I knew the users here were childish but now you are reaching new levels of immaturity. It is pathetic.
I'm going to get it on PC so this whole comment board can just shut up, I'm just glad it is coming to pc. Also, chief and Marcus would not fit into the street fighter universe, remember what Seth said about MK vs SF ?
Lol @ all the xbox owners pretending they aint mad that they got no exclusives by making up crap like "great now I don't have to fight cats" or "they are banned anyway".
Ppl are pretty retarded to still be arguing whether X360 or PS3 is better. What a shame, I hope y'all 15yrs old or something, not grown ups. Do I have fun with my console? Does it meet my gaming "needs"? ughh... I shouldn't be wasting my time trying to educate online retards... Nevermind, please go on.
i dont really care what console i play it on but its really shameful on there part to not go further and find a solution to getting these characters in maybe there gunna just charge us 360 owners more i mean i own the ps3 and there is a definite lag but i prefer its online but its not cool either way y would they not push to get something of this calibur done meehhhh and mmmmhhmmmmm to u sir good day
No way. How unfair.
