If you are looking forward to the launch of the new crossover Street Fighter x Tekken fighting game expected to be launched in March 2012, a new trailer has been released showing details of how the game’s systems will work.
The game will feature characters from both Capcom’s Street Fighter and Namco’s Tekken series and will be based on the 2D gameplay of Street Fighter as opposed to the Tekken series. Watch the latest trailer from Gamescom 2011 after the jump.
Gameplay Mechanics and Features
Street Fighter X Tekken has been designed to use the same 6-button system that Street Fighter fans will be well acquainted with. However, Tekken players who are used to a 4-button layout need not worry as traditional combos and attacks have been specifically programmed into the game. This means that while the core mechanics will feel familiar to Street Fighter enthusiasts, Tekken players will also find recognizable elements that make the transition smoother.
The game introduces a unique “Gem System” that allows players to customize their characters with various power-ups and abilities. This adds a layer of strategy, as players can tailor their fighters to suit their playstyle. For example, some gems might enhance speed, while others could boost attack power or defense. This system aims to provide a more personalized and strategic fighting experience.
Character Roster and Platforms
The character roster is another exciting aspect of Street Fighter X Tekken. Fans can expect to see iconic characters from both franchises. From Street Fighter, characters like Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li will be making an appearance. On the Tekken side, players can look forward to battling with characters like Kazuya, Nina, and King. The crossover nature of the game promises a diverse and dynamic roster that will appeal to fans of both series.
Street Fighter X Tekken will hopefully be arriving in March 2012 on the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Sony PS Vita console. The inclusion of the PS Vita version is particularly noteworthy, as it allows for portable play without compromising on the game’s quality. This makes it accessible to a broader audience, including those who prefer gaming on the go.
Moreover, the game will support both local and online multiplayer modes, ensuring that players can enjoy the game with friends or compete against others worldwide. The online mode is expected to feature robust matchmaking and ranking systems, providing a competitive environment for serious players.
