Eurogamer- Overall, while Street Fighter x Tekken is strongly recommended on both formats, the bugs we encountered are clearly an issue, with the timed unlocks and DLC strategy being a bit of a pain. It's hard to ignore the inconsistent online play, the odd choice of time-locked characters, and future DLC being already included on the disc. On the other hand, the multi-platform conversion work is remarkably close and Capcom has managed to produce one of the most thoroughly entertaining beat 'em ups of recent years.
Or it's about to leave the storefront like another Capcom title.
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.
It was a cool gamble imo. In reality, everyone were waiting for Namco version, Tekken X Street Fighter.
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.
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
Ahhh the game that Capcom had DLC on the disc on release yet you had to pay to unlock it
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."
I rarely post on them but I am a big fight fan and I pick up almost every fighter for all available formats. With that said, after playing both the PS3 and 360 version on my displays since the game released, SFxTekken looks better on the 360. To be honest it's pretty noticeable even if you haven't played them side by side on the same panel at the same time, as I have on my triple panel setup.
I don't understand why the PS3 version does not get 2X anti aliasing. It makes a clear difference in nearly every aspect of the visuals. The details are more crisp, edges smoothed out and the color has slightly more punch on the 360.
I have tried the game on the exact same settings with each display and then I tweaked them as best as could to favor the hardware to their strengths. No matter how I calibrated my displays the 360 version looked better.
They both play identical, PS3 version (after installation) loads a hair faster and they sound the same. That is what should matter most to PS3 only consumers.
Edit: You can pound the disagree button until your finger bleeds. It doesn't change facts and that is what you are disagreeing with. It's not an opinion it's reality. I am an HT nut and I know a thing or 3 about calibrating visuals and sounds systems.
I have 3 360's and 3 PS3's hooked up to my setup included in this post. Just put this setup together a couple months ago. Now I don't have to rely on digital foundry or lens of truth. I can see for myself when I feel the need to know.

Every Capcom fighter runs better on 360. Some even run at a better framerate (60fps instead of 59 or 58 in PS3), it's not just graphics.
It's true to every genre, not just fighters. Unified RAM means big games like Skyrim actually run. Better V-Synch, so 360 versions have less tearing. Higher framerates. Less input lag. More AA.
Unless you'rte buying L.A. Noire or Final Fantasy CG-all-day-fest, you just buy the 360 version.
Looks like the PS3 version is the superior version (as expected). 5 exclusive characters and an exclusive pair play mode (2 people on a local console vs ppl online).
I got the impression they were saying the Xbox version was better all the way through but the minimal 2 player mode and 5 extra characters make the PS3 version the better buy. Megaman and Pacman should be unlocked on the Xbox version too but Capcom will screw all owners for the already produced, on disc content. Can we get a class action lawsuit going please? I purchased the software in full and should be entitled to all the content without having to fork out extra money. A big shame on Sony and MS for allowing Capcon and others to do this, especially as they promoted the characters before launch. Greed is greed and there is no other way to discribe it. I hope all capcom exes get cancer of the B@ll$... If there is such a thing as karma they would!
