The lukewarm reception from Street Fighter X Tekken has discouraged Namco from following up with Tekken X Street Fighter

SFxT is considered a black sheep among fighting games fans for various reasons, so any follow up to that would be marred by the baggage

Blu3_Berry1573d ago

Why is it considered the black sheep among fighting game fans? I never played it and I'm not really into fighting games personally, so I'm curious as to why that is for many fans of the genre.

FallenAngel19841573d ago

For various reason actually

- This game, naturally, leaned more heavily toward SF mechanics, which meant that ardent fans of Tekken's saw no reason to buy this game outside of brand loyalty.

- The game is hampered by the gem mechanic which is both cumbersome and out of place in a more down to earth fighting game.

- It was revealed that the coming DLC characters were already on the disk and locked behind a paywall. This didn't endear any potential fans to the game after that and generally one of the reasons why SFxT is shunned by fighting game fans. Capcom had this particular controversy follow them for years afterward, as any talk of DLC for other games would have droves of people asking if those were also on the disc already.

- Featuring Bad Box Art Mega Man during a time when fans felt that Capcom was treating the character and the franchise poorly.

Great summary of events. It’s sad though because I would love to see Namco’s take on SF characters with Tekken based mechanics.

On another note maybe one day we can get a massive fighting game crossover that provides the best gameplay possible . It was nice to see Virtua Fighter characters in DOA.

Harada is what happened to txsf. He's incredibly spineless and is constantly in doubt what his fans want despite txsf having a huge amount of hype behind it.

VTKC1572d ago

And the selective memory.

robtion1573d ago

While I'm a long time fan of tekken and street fighter I'm more excited about the Marvel Vs DC game that Netherrealm will make for next gen.

IRetrouk1573d ago

I really tried to like the sfxt version, bought mainly to ensure txsf would get a release(turned out well eh? Lol), they promised us tekken fans that we would be able to jump right in and our characters would feel familiar in controls and moves, they did not, that along with the dlc crap, the gems etc sent it to an early grave, dont think we will ever see txsf now.

It hasn't come to pass for 2 generations now,seems dead to me.

CobraKai1040d ago

Yeah. It’s dead unless they show something new.

UnSelf1040d ago

This thing just wont die. What will it take goddamn it

Jericho13371040d ago

That didn’t stop Kazuya, why would it stop this? 😉

CptDville1040d ago

What is dead may never die.

Vanfernal1040d ago

A person in vegetative state is technically not dead either...

hombreacabado1040d ago

you will all eat your words when tekken vs street fighter releases in 2032!

MasterChief36241040d ago

My dad is Katsuhiro Harada, and I can confirm they are shooting for a 2032 release date. How did you find this information, though? I've kept very tight-lipped.

hombreacabado1039d ago

an assortment of black magic algorithms and a team of mathematicians allowed me to deduce the actual release date.

purple1011040d ago (Edited 1040d ago )

"the game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, "

The game actually has a director. Don't know whether to laugh or cry - what the hell has he been doing ?

shadowhaxor1040d ago

Tekken 7, a ton of Tekken 7 DLC and now the Tekken 8 that's "rumored" in development.

I know this game is dead, they just refuse to let it die in peace.

That's sad to hear but we knew it was inevitable

blackblades1042d ago (Edited 1042d ago )

Yeah, but at least they added a SF character akuma in tekken 7 and Fatal fury character.

jukins1042d ago

That only added to the possibility for me. Because Akuma worked so damn well in tekken 7 i just "knew" it was gonna come true

CobraKai1042d ago

Yeah. Akuma felt like a working prototype to an actual Tekken X Street Fighter, but if it never happened during the last 2 generations, it was likely not going to happen at all.

blackblades1042d ago

@CobraKai
My guess from what I remember was that they had a contract. They both do a game with each other. Capcom did there's and namco game fell off the wagon so akuma made it into tekken 7 to feel that contract.

IRetrouk1042d ago (Edited 1042d ago )

🥺😭🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

UnSelf1042d ago

Now do MK vs SF like we’ve been waiting for for 30 years

Viking_mo1041d ago

Aint going to happen. Capcom already said why it wont work

porkChop1042d ago

So they barely even worked on it. I wonder what happened.

Bobertt1041d ago

It sounds like it was cancelled a long time ago when it was at 30% but they are just officially saying it now. I could be wrong but i think years ago he said the issue was keeping the feel of all the Street Fighter characters in the 3D Tekken format. They were having issues porting over all the moves i think. Plus with the other game not selling well it probably lost funding and it was put on hold then Yoshinori Ono left.

Where is Tekken X Street Fighter?

Dan Rizzo says "where is Tekken X Street Fighter? Was its reveal all for naught? Are we lead to believe that Harada’s still holding out after Ono’s departure? Will we ever see a draft of its early development phase? These are all questions that will remain – along with the title itself – in video gaming purgatory."

I think IF this game ever happened, they would remaster Street Fighter X Tekken just for the sake of it being up to date with Tekken X Street Fighter.

I can't imagine Capcom being ok with Tekken X Street Fighter being on the PS5/Series X/S while Street Fighter X Tekken is literally two system generations behind.

Petebloodyonion1110d ago

I think Capcom wants ppl to forget about that Pay to win game they created or the need to remove the gem currency from it.

Petebloodyonion1110d ago

I believe that both companies are doing well with their own fighting game atm so they don't see the urgency to produce that title. But I could see some Cameo appearing on Sf6 or the next Tekken game.

BenRC011110d ago (Edited 1110d ago )

So much fun on the vita, combos tagged to the touch screen meant some easy cross platform wins.
