E3 2011 Hands-On: Street Fighter X Tekken, insert Ryu fan fiction here.
The fight begins...
One of the cross over games that no one ever expected to see is coming to home consoles. Street Fighter X Tekken takes some of the best fighters from Street Fighter and Tekken and pits them against each other in fast fun 2D combat. In this build there were only about 16 characters to choose from, but with the extensive list of characters in both franchises it will likely be more in the final version.
The gameplay features a Tag Team mode where players can freely switch between two characters as the fight progresses. The game looks very similar to Street Fighter 4, but the fast paced style of battle feels more like Marvel vs. Capcom 3. This is a great mix and makes the game very fun and memorable.
The controls are smooth and responsive. The Street Fighter characters battle as they should and the Tekken characters have been modified to fight within a 2D space with plenty of special attacks to keep up with the Street Fighter style of gameplay. This game is a fast and fun fighter which anyone can easily pick up and play. Street Fighter X Tekken will likely be the fighter everyone will be playing in the near future. If you love 2D fighting then look forward to Street Fighter X Tekken coming out soon.
