With Capcom’s two big-name franchises headlining EVO 2014 aka the world’s biggest and most prestigious fighting game tournament this weekend, you may have noticed their other ‘experiment’ has been omitted this year, swept under the rug like a dirty secret and probably never to be seen again at a major tournament. So, just what the hell happened to Street Fighter X Tekken?
I'm glad this brought up all of the lousy DLC choices in this game. I remember that really burned up a lot of people and rightfully so. Capcom is one of the few developers who can really screw up a game without making its gameplay bad.
This is exactly why this game failed. As soon as I started playing it and found most users were using the auto-tech throw gem I immediately turned the game off and sent it back to Gamefly.
It really is a shame that the first game featuring these two legendary fighters turned out to be a noob fest.
Maybe Namco can get it right when they release their version.
2 things i don't like about this game! the stupid gem system crap and 10 stages.
10 stages in a fighting game with 42+ characters? really? really? 10 stages?
this game was horrible! i didn't mind the characters, but that short stage lineup and that gem system killed it for me. Terrible game capcom.
It failed because street fighter is garbage. I hope they cancel Tekken x street fighter and just focus on Tekken 7.
It's a shame really, take the gems out and attempt to turn a blind eye to the DLC crap Capcom pulled, there was some really interesting mechanics in the game. I thought they done a fantastic job trying to inject some Tekken into the Street Fighter series.
