The Vita-Only Street Fighter X Tekken Characters are On-Disc DLC for the Console Versions

Kotaku: YouTube user SoulReaperTTG has managed to get a hold of all the introductions for the 12 PS Vita-only characters in Street Fighter X Tekken which releases for PS3 and Xbox 360 on Tuesday.
These characters are, so far, announced only for the Vita version. The Vita version is due for release later this year. Yet if someone has their hands on the videos now, three days before the console game's release, what the hell does that mean?

Capcom wasn't the first to do this and they won't be the last so get over it. This game looks amazing and the online modes will make this a great party game.

Simon_Brezhnev4434d ago

I wouldnt be surprised if they dont have spectator mode day one. If they dont you will still defend them.

1Victor4434d ago

Yeah keep telling yourself that. I for once not going to get ether the console or handheld version I'll wait till they release the ultimate or ver 2.1. I'm tire of capcom shafting us fans ,before they release their games videos shown the dlc is on the disk with just a little piece missing.

Bob_Desu4434d ago

Haha wait for the ultimate one then get slapped with an arcade edition and then maybe a super edition after that!
I think I might get the vita version so I can get a bit of a head start on the dlc.

Mika are you a 12 year old girl?

I remember someone pointing out that you always defend things that everyone hates, like FFXIII, FFXIII-2, DMC5, Justin Bieber..

I usually agree with you but this time I can't. Capcom is doing something undefendable here. the fact that they're locking away finished content is shocking, even the Tekken characters.

your innocence is amazing.

MrMister4433d ago

Mika, I can tell by your original post that your probably not that much smarter than the character you chose to represent you as your avatar...

You have to be brain dead to support this kind of abuse i mean its not even technically DLC because its already on the freaking disc. Its like somebody strait up telling you that they are ripping you off to your face and your like ok cool.

vortis4434d ago

The Capcom defenders are crazy.

The BioWare folk at least had a grounds of defense (The game was finished by the time the DLC was ready for day-one release) but this BS is beyond wallet-raping, back-alley ghetto crap.

It's exactly like you said...some fat cat in a suit walks up to you, slaps your lips, grabs your wallet out of your back pocket and just straight up rapes it right in front of you. I mean, no respect....no respect whatsoever.

closnyc4433d ago (Edited 4433d ago )

you cant seriously compare a fighting game to biowares crap? really dude? biowares game was finished, then they took a piece of that finished product to put it as dlc, which is worse. From what i know, the first batch of capcoms dlc for sf x tekken, is going to be free and will be released on march 13th. Plus, i much rather support this, a game that has infinite replay value due to its depth than a dumbed down console port with atrocious fov, last gen graphics, last gen animations, no holstering and low res textures. Seriously, comparing a game of the caliber of mass effect to a fighting game. Capcom can take my money anytime, thats fine, at least they make the pc ports good unlike bioware who dont give a crap.

rjgbyrne4434d ago

Maybe its all pre-release media buzz... it would see very well now if they said they would be released free drip fedd until the Vita release. But I am highly suspicious of this. They could be Unlockable characters too!?! Capcom need to shed light and let fans know if they are going to be ripped off with an uncomplete software product... why hasn't this been tried in a court in America yet? Ha!

Street Fighter X Tekken - A Look Back at the Franchise's Biggest Misfire

With Street Fighter 6 now upon us, it's time to look back at some classic Street Fighter titles, beginning with Street Fighter X Tekken.

boing1322d ago

It was a cool gamble imo. In reality, everyone were waiting for Namco version, Tekken X Street Fighter.

Ryuha1234h322d ago

I don’t know. I enjoyed this game. I thought it was a great crossover.

TricksterArrow322d ago (Edited 322d ago )

Yep, played very little of it, but from what I played, it was serviceable enough. Could've been better? Yes, but then again, you can say that about pretty much anything.

maniacmayhem322d ago

What killed this game was their planned reliance on GaaS with the whole gem system. It made little sense and made the game extremely unbalanced. Not to mention the unbalance of most of the characters, especially on the Tekken side

Sgt_Slaughter322d ago

Ahhh the game that Capcom had DLC on the disc on release yet you had to pay to unlock it

Street Fighter & Tekken - A Mash-Up Not Meant for Greatness

VGChartz's Daniel Parker: "Tekken and Street Fighter - two giants of the head-to-head fighting genre. A clashing of decades-old titans that was once thought to be a dream matchup that would never happen. It ignited a flame of excitement that quickly fizzled out and became a cautionary tale for game developers."

The inclusion of gems ruined it from the start.
