SFxT provides long lasting appeal which its numerous and various modes though not as deep as Mortal Kombat. The new gem system is pretty cool as evens out fights so that novices have a chance when they play experienced players. SFxT is just great fun and there are only a few flaws holding it back from being a masterpiece and i feel this game has gotten to much hate from the issue with DLC being locked on the retail disk.… Expand

    Street Fighter X Tekken is a crossover fighter that a fair few of us have all waited for since the late 90’s when both games really changed the fight scene forever; Tekken with its true to form moves and use of controls (with some wacky exceptions admittedly) and Street Fighter with its special abilities and out of this world character roster (with some normal exceptions). This couldn’tStreet Fighter X Tekken is a crossover fighter that a fair few of us have all waited for since the late 90’s when both games really changed the fight scene forever; Tekken with its true to form moves and use of controls (with some wacky exceptions admittedly) and Street Fighter with its special abilities and out of this world character roster (with some normal exceptions). This couldn’t possibly go wrong, right?

    So after revisiting the game after all the hype on the vita version, I started to take the assets of the game apart and really summarise their uses. You see the game on a base level is as seemingly solid as street fighter 2 in its play style, as was street fighter 4; but it’s unique ability usage this time round isn’t. For instance, Pandora mode is not only time consuming to pull off, but you have to be in a perfect situation to use it, completely defeating it as any kind of game changer; it just puts too much danger on an already failing player and on most occasions subtracts balance further.

    The gem unit is actually okay, I don’t really have a problem with it, as it works to your play style and can somewhat be rewarding to use; it’s not terribly useful at the start, but it does grow into one of the games nicer assets if you’re able to invest your time further after witnessing the base level.

    A big problem with the play style though, is the fact that the cross over combo practically becomes repetitive and “OP” in the right hands; In single player, matches can be dominated with this one feature and a few low “H-kicks” thrown in for good measure.

    The gameplay somewhat eliminates inputs for special moves altogether, and more often than not in a common CPU based situation, you’ll be allocating the use of special moves simply to collect a few trophies on top. That said though, Street Fighter X Tekken is still a fun online game, and there is still a major challenge against the world’s finest players, but it’s no wonder as to why a lot of the most die-hard fighting game fans would rather stick to UMVC3 when it comes to cross overs.

    Street Fighter X Tekken has a fair few problems that stop it from being a seriously competitive game, but if you’re a general fan of both series, the game will provide hours of fun with your dream team match ups. Apparently there is supposedly a Tekken X Street Fighter somewhere in the making, and to some extent, this would be the much better mechanic for both worlds to dive into if it does ever come to light; after all it would most likely be able to use the successful Tekken Tag mechanic and simply add to it.

    Here’s hoping that we possibly see an interpretation from Namco sometime in the coming year or so.    … Expand

    Geez the critics have been extremely harsh to this great game...I get the impression it has been played by the wrong type of gamer that didn't get into the complex but easy to get into game with a simple button layout.
    Please give SFxT the chance it deserves and you will discover one of the finest fighting game experiences to be had from two great franchises.

    The Street Fighter fan also made ​​their criticisms because it was not Street Fighter 4, it was clear that it would neither be because thanks to the style of play so open any win is conditioned very spite of being an expert or not in the game as in Street Fighter 4

    The gem system does not determine either a fight, help at any given time if you know activate, and are not prolonged use, so also accuse it of advantage is absurd

    the only thing regrettable is the few stages and of course the policy of the DLC that tarnish much the game, but in spite of that is a fully featured game, so I say let's cut the crap and fight.

    A fantastic fighting game with a solid engine with unique style bringing two vastly different graphics together. Gameplay is fast and fluid, but the tag system of one partner dies, the other dies too gets annoying and feels sorta wierd. The cast is huge and varied and there is lots of modes from story to scramble. Online sucks though and there is constant lag. A fantastic game though.

It successfully merges the Tekken and Street Fighter characters into a fighting game. 2.) The game feels like a fighting game that is unique, even when compared with past Capcom crossover fighting games. 3.) It is fun. The skill required to play the game is probably a little bit more than that which is required in Marvel vs Capcom 3, yet not so technically taxing, as in a game like Street Fighter 4, where timing seem like it takes center stage of every battle. SFxT is welcoming to newcomers, as well, because of Assist Gems in the new Gem system. The Gem System accomplishes two feats: it brings an added depth when playing a fighting game, and it also makes some commands for moves that may be daunting for beginning players a little easier. All in all, don't wait to get this fighter. Get it now. You will be missing on months of fighting goodness if you hold out.… Expand

The tag element in a SSFIV like engine is pure gaming Nirvana. The hits are so Nirvana in fact that the impact animations & sound blast like a shotgun shell to the face! The Tekken characters really flow well with their combos but I must say Paul & Law are pretty weak in this WTF! Heichi & Kuma are beastly. As a Tekken fighter you must close the distance their are duck unders for fire ball attacks. At first the Capcom fighters appear to have an advantage we will see in the long run. the important thing is the the game play engine is rock solid. Me & my girlfriend local co oped much of the story mode together & she isn't a gamer. This game oozes charisma, I really love the backgrounds although in the heat of battle i tend to blur it out & focus on the combatants. I really hope that there will be a Street Fighter X Mortal Kombat in our future....

    While I hate the fact that we have a ton of finished characters on disk, (such as my SSF4 Main Cody) I cannot hate this game. I do hate Capcoms way of shaking down the consumer with price gouging tactics. It is pathetic. DLC could be the best thing ever to breathe new life into games months later. Yet companies would rather plan it while developing it & forget a game exists a few months after launch. Capcom loves to put out updated versions & sell us the same game time & time again. Why not just make DLC for one version of the game. I couldn't help myself buying this knowing a new version will be up the pipeline. I really can say I don't regret it one bit!
    You babies should enjoy the ton of content that is here. Still I applaud your complaints hopefully you complain directly to capcom so we can have these characters unlocked for free.    … Expand

    A fun fighting game filled with colorful action and true 2D mayhem. Some of the Tekken characters however do not translate that well to 2D and as a whole, the game feels as if it lacks that "it" factor and is not as epic as the clash between two fighting game genre giants should have been.

    The Tekken draftees are the new Street Fighter characters you don't want to go home. Apart from integrating them visually into Ryu and co's saturated universe, each has had their exhaustive move set refocused to align with Capcom's different play style. It doesn't just work, it's brilliant. [May 2012, p70]
