Rory McCarty from Grouvee reviews Street Fighter X Tekken and says: "The merging of two revered fighting franchises seems like it would put fans in a fighting game Valhalla. But some elements may cross the line."
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."
Well rounded review. I totally agree about the missed opportunity with the story and tag team matchups. It felt like Capcom rushed right through that part.
Man, if I had a chance to match teams up I'd pair people together based on their story coherence. Like it would make sense if Dudley and Steve Fox were teamed together...could even be a light story attached to that. Other characters just seemed like they were thrown together just to be thrown together. Really feels like a missed opportunity.
