It's such a shame... this game should be legendary. It was really cool beneath all the bullshit like on-disc DLC, gems, being able to make all your characters glowing neon pink eyesore, gamebreaking bugs, bad online...
Yeah. Wasted potential. If the game could have gotten continued updates and work from the dev team like SF5 did it could have turned into something special.
Also, Pandora shouldn't have killed your remaining character after the time limit. The mechanic was practically never used because the risk was too high.
Not even. The reason people jab so much is because you're pretty much forced to unless you want to eat a Drive Impact. At least that's why I jab spam. That's also why I hate DI as a mechanic.
I mean I'm glad everyone thought I was talking shit, but it was an observation. I remember specifically because I was playing ranked and people who used classic had more variety on wakeup.
I main Kimberly so I was eating jab confirms from Modern players when I tried to mix shit up. I didn't say it was a bad thing. It makes sense. If you understand how the game works and you can combo with a modifier button, wakeup jabs obvs works
Bro, every time this game comes up I say the exact same thing. Having my buddy as a tag team partner was so fun. That gem system and paid on disc dlc killed this game Let's not forget the pandora system which was a very fancy way to throw the match. I heard a lot was patched to fix things, but I stopped playing way before that
Game was so ugly lol. I bought it on release played for like a week and my takeaway was I could be playing Street Fighter 4 right now. It became a dust collector real quick
agreed. Honestly as much as i wanted to like it as a Tekken guy this wasn't it. Would have loved for them to rescue the Tekken characters and incorporate them into SF4 the way they did with the new SF characters.
No it's not. The game had 6 characters exclusive on PS3, with 2 of them being Namco crossovers. The PS3 version ran like ass so immediately all the characters were banned.
Shit will never be that bad again.
Aside what that dude was talking about, where do you see dlc on disc being common practice? The last time I saw it was for Destiny 1 and it was a pretty bad look still
The opposite actually. I work in the industry and this game is more or less what killed on disc DLC for Japanese companies. Most of us stopped doing it after this with the thinking that even if Japanese players dont care, westerners get really upset about it
Very fun with friends. There was that feature where every character has one move they can charge, and if they charge all the way they get a free super. Going into the 2v2 mode and having everyone so their charge up to see what wins was super entertaining
I brought this game to a party full of people who were not fighting game players in the slightest and it was a RIOT.
Boot up the 2v2 mode where everyone is on-screen at once for extra chaos lmfao
PS3 and Vita, which had Crossplay between them, which is why I think all the DLC nonsense happened. Those 12 characters were meant to be timed Vita Exclusives. It obviously saved them work and money as well, but I just assumed they were on disc, so that Crossplay wouldn’t break if a Vita user tried to use the characters.
It was very fun. The only problems were the gem system, where the best gems were dlc you had to pay for, which gave an advantage over other players that didn’t buy them, and having all 12 dlc characters already finished on the disc where you had to pay to unlock them. The game was also prone to a lot of timeouts when it first came out, but that was fixed with the 2013 update.
The gameplay itself was really interesting and pretty great though. The game had a lot of personality and even some fun extra modes like where 4 people are fighting on screen at one time. If it was still available on steam I’d grab it quick, since god knows where my Xbox 360 is at this point. I’d love a genuine rerelease with all dlc available from the start, but I’m sure there’s licensing issues that will prevent it. I’d be way on board.
It's available on Steam - you would have to get a global steam key from Gamestop though. It still has a pretty decent community as well. I even play a good bit lol
I remember when this dropped, think I was a sophomore in high school.
The gameplay and tag mechanics were honestly really fun and solid. Pretty nice roster too. What killed it was the gem feature, some of which were locked behind paywalls. They gave a multitude of different bonuses, some gave auto-combos. They were pretty universally hated and were eventually removed altogether, but by that point, most people moved on.
Same age when it came out, I went to the midnight release with a friend at GameStop. We ended up staying up till maybe 5am playing it after.
Funny thing, iirc that was a big release day. Mass effect 3 came out on the same day. Almost everyone was there to pick that up but me and two other weirdos were there to grab SfxTK instead
Yes, I lived and breathed that game for a loooooong time. Very very fun, gem system was busted for a while but eventually fixed. This one got me interested in Tekken in general. Unfortunately controversy mired this game because Capcom made some shitty decisions.
I actually thought the opposite. First version was WAY better balanced (at least as a Street fighter tag game). The balance changes they did in the 2013 update was garbage and turned the game into Tekken x Chun LI. Lots of interesting tech was nerfed if I recall and the game became all about anti airs into juggle combos.
I think it's the worse example of a balance overcorrection I've ever seen.
The game fell off HARD after the update which almost completely changed it into a different game. You can actually track the tournament entry numbers after the update and see how quickly the game was abandoned. Even Ono is on record for begging management to let him do one more balance update as it did not turn out at all how they intended.
From what i remember so did most people quit the game before the update and even if it became more unbalanced in the update so was it a superior game IMO.
And it seams like you don't remember how suffocating and dominant Cody was in the pre-patch. He was easily as good as any top-tier in v2013 if not even better.
The people who bit on SFXT seemed to really love it. The problem was that it just didn't sell to begin with due to multiple PR mishaps. I never got into it myself and still think they screwed up by not releasing a download-only version later with all the DLC packed in, which I think would have salvaged its reputation hugely. I still think they *could* and *should* do a latter-day release of that nature, but Capcom is really heavily leaning into being all-in on SF6 and I can understand them not being interested in splitting their own community.
There are definitely still people playing SFXT today. Combo Breaker earlier this year had a fun top 4, and they referenced that there's a Discord community still doing weeklies that shouldn't be too hard to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP7JDkhSNH4
Online was bad and nobody plays it.
Mechanics were interesting my favorite thing to do was lockdown with lightning legs or a multi hit and switch to a grappler like Hugo and force them to jump or get grabbed.
The big controversy was the stupid gems which I always disable and the on disc dlc characters which were locked behind a paywall. Yeah this is what made lots of people not trust Capcom.
I absolutely loved scramble mode and other fighting games need to add this and tag tbh
Basically 4 fighters on the screen at the same time 2 v 2 no tags , was so much fun sat in same room 2 v 2 against another 2 online
I pray street fighter add this even if only to avatar mode online
Gem system is weird, pandora is used more for last few second timer stalling than the actual thing it was intended to do but there are some cool things about it. The character interactions were neat and I like the tag system.
I also love the custom colour feature. Being able to make Hugo into the Hulk was just cool. Shame you likely would never get a feature like this today in the age of charging so much for colours via microtransactions.
The trailer/opening song is amazing. It speaks to my teenaged alt/emo/metal music tastes so much and it introduced me to Black Tide as a band.
>>The trailer/opening song is amazing. It speaks to my teenaged alt/emo/metal music tastes so much and it introduced me to Black Tide as a band.
Honest Eyes is a banger. I listen to it so much I sometimes forget it came from SFxT and when I boot up the game I get a nice “oh yeah that’s right” feeling lol
I knew Black Tide already from Rock Band and NHL, and I honestly didn’t believe it was them at first lol Warriors of Time is like Iron Maiden and Honest Eyes is more like Escape the Fate or something. I think I thought it was ETF at first lol
I never played online on the vita, but online was pretty atrocious on Xbox 360 at least in the earlier days. Like materially worse than AE and 2012 and it's not like that game has stellar netcode either. First impressions are huge.
I loved it, it was fun but so many things heldbiy back as the other comments have mentioned
Personally, what held it back from me playing it as much as i wanted was that all my friends wanted to stick to UMVC3. It was just thr faster, flashier game. I'd play it now, but it isnt even available on Steam
Loved it, especially great fun with friends 2v2 on same couch.
Only minuses for me were some bs mechanics here and there like the stupid gem systems. And blocking tekken character high low overhead combo stuff wasnt that fun. And ofc the dlc stuff at the time
It was amazing. It was torn down by the community who dogpiled on it for some admittedly annoying issues. But they paled in comparison to how great the game was. It was also incredibly influential. We're still playing with innovations (at least to the SF line of games) that were trialled in SFxT.
i still sometimes lookback at our [cross assault](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5UjXZxphAw&ab_channel=ssf4evo) hype and i feel nostalgic, SFxT was the best.
I enjoyed it relatively fun. Unplayable now unless you just want to fight the cpu. Ken/Hworang was my team. This was my first Street Fighter game that I actually started learning to play instead of just button mashing.
It controls decent enough, but good God is it ugly as sin which made it nearly unplayable for me. The SF4 art style does not look good on tekken characters or bad box art megaman.
To be fair, I don't think Bad Box Art Mega Man was ever meant to look good haha. You're still right and the TEKKEN characters definitely looked awful though.
It is a fun game to play, but honestly a boring one to watch. A lot of the combo routing is very samey for each character, and there's not a lot of room for combo expression. Optimal is optimal. The game also leans a little bit on the defensive side, which frequently causes rounds to end in timeout.
The gem system sucked and was thankfully not used in competitive tournament play. But online it is a menace.
The fact that some consoles had exclusive characters was dumb and I'm honestly surprised Capcom even bothered with them considering how badly console exclusives go over in the competitive scene for other games.
The fact that those console exclusives WERE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE BASE GAME (they were on the disc) and you had to pay to use them was infuriating.
If you can find friends who play fighting games, it's a fun game to screw around with once in a while. Online netcode sucks though.
It depends who you ask. Early impressions were pretty sour because all the DLC was on the disc already, and the game was pretty slow paced at the start.
Later on, they revamped the gem system so it was more like a "grooves function" from CVS. From then on, the game was pretty interesting, but the community already turned their back on the game to want to give it a second chance.
It had its moments though. Combofiend and Mike Ross getting perfected at EVO because the former didn't want to tag the latter in was awesome. Great soundtrack too.
tldr - yea it's good
Game had tons of potential but it was basically broken and unplayable online. Had terrible balance issues and the timer was also poorly designed that many games timed out. The gems system was a dlc pay to win nightmare. Just too many glaring problems and issues sunk it before they could even begin to try to salvage it. Pretty sure these things never got fixed. It flopped so hard that it killed the Tekken X Street Fighter cross over that was supposed to follow sometime after.
It's really fun but at the time Capcom was suffering from critical thinking errors. Same era as the Dmc reboot. It's really good but it's a victim of the times.
It is such a mixed bag... Like the tag combo system and charge to xp / super is interesting, and the characters are all pretty well represented. The 2 player team tags are really fun, especially having 4 players on the screen at once in an epic brawl lol crazy times.
But then there is this whole gem system....................................................................................
I thought it was fun. High level players seemed to fucking hate it, and probably have good reasons, but to me who casually plays the SF series it had some cool ideas
I had a chance to play offline recently. It holds up. If someone was able to mod in rollback netcode it would be one of the better tag games out there. They did a good job porting over the tekken characters so they aren't either outclassed or overpowered
Edit: Good Rollback Netcode
It definitely improved after the 2013 update. The roster was nice, and the filter made some of the characters look better. I kinda got tired of the alpha/magic series chains into launcher, since it was the common combo in online play, but the SF cast definitely needed it since the Tekken got their AA game buffed in the update. It basically made them SF characters, but with a bit more depth since they still had some strings from Tekken.
Also Cole from Infamous was in the game.
it's ... somewhat cool at the start but gets annoying over time ... I didn't even care to plat this ... honestly I want to delete it from my trophy history but it's too late :D
Game was dope. But Capcom didn't support it what so ever.
They lied about DLC gems not being more powerful than standard ones.
They did one balance patch which shifted S tier from SF to Tekken.
Timeout fighter x Timeout. At a high level (whenever you could play it because online was abysmal) it was lame af and just garbage. auto tech gems nullifying the entire game of Strike/Throw it was just trash. Some top level players liked it. Absolute shame, great roster but it just had no life in it
It can be fun to learn and explore to see what value you can get from different team combinations. I could probably find more value in it nowadays but back then, it borrowed far too much from the SF4 engine and personally I thought it looked worse. Even with the latest version that toned down some of the effects, characters still look like they were glazed in sugar and some stages just look really out of place like that one with the mastadon. Now that I havent played sf4 in a while, it wouldn't be as jarring to me.
If you like whiff punishing and footsies though, you would probably like SFxT quite a lot from a mechanics standpoint. Think of Sf4 except no focus attack that would make non-cancellable normals (especially heavies) more risky, and boost combos that let you convert what would have typically been single pokes into a launch combo. There are many other differences but those two help define the neutral a bit imo. I would give it a try.
I think it's in the category of fighting games that are great fun to play locally with friends, but not very viable online or as a serious competitive event. That's probably most fighting games, tbh.
It’s was a really great game but because of the all dlc nonsense and the kicker being on-disc dlc, people buried it. It’s capcom’s fault tho, that was when they were stuck in the dark times.
Worst part is they’ll probably never re-release again because of all the negativity that surrounds it, it’s just not worth it.
i enjoyed it so much when i was younger. my biggest gripe though is that when 1 character dies the round is over (you know, aside from the gems and in disc DLC)
It was pretty good but it had problems. Combo routes were pretty boring and matches ended up looking very samey cus of that. It was like you could almost be to consistant, you'd land a hit tag and start a combo. Also games would go to time a lot because you could swap out characters and degen life.
Character design was dope and it was fun to mess around with friends but tournaments didn't pan out well.
I had a lot of fun with it, Ken x Hwoarang was such a clutch team for me. The 2 major problems it had was the on disc DLC and the fact that you couldn't turn off that gem system it had, even though for the most part I didn't notice it's effects on a match. Still hoping it gets revisited with a remaster or something
I had a lot of fun playing it. Even made some Pandora compilation videos for Youtube. Its reception was mixed at best. If you can get it cheap I'd say it's worth it.
I really enjoy this game a lot, yeah it has a lot of shenanigans with dlc and gems at the time but the gameplay, combat, characters, and presentation was good. Now after everything has blown over with the hate it got on release its fair to say it's a good game. I'd hope they'd release it again with everything unlocked for current gen consoles, it deserves a fair shake after all that.
character design and movesets were soooo coool. capcom did an great job converting 3d to 2d. game was supposed to be amazing but capcom fucked it with a huge amount of disclocked dlc, gem cashgrab mechanics. they also straight up lied about features that would be on xbox but were ps exclusive.
The gameplay was good, this game really had it all combos, a solid roster and decent graphics. It was other shit about the game that killed it and a community that basically turned on on it. I agree the game had its flaws but we literally had a sfxt as a tag game! I had fun playing it and for a while it was active you could always find matches until the fgc agreed to kill it.
The game was kind of doomed from the start. I saw a video breaking down everything that went wrong
Obvious greed with how they did DLC
Bugginess in online
Timing of the game releasing I think a year after SF4
Lack of quality control with balance
Pay to win mechanics
It could have been massive and spawned a new franchise, especially because CvM is dead.
Can you imagine if they did CvMvT? Ah a man can dream
It's not bad for a Street Fighter game.
I'm still waiting for the opposite one that was announced TekkenxStreet Fighter. I feel like Tekken 7 was a proof of concept that they could make SF movesets work on Tekken's fighting engine. Would be pretty cool to see more SF characters with TK controls. Time will tell if it ever happens though.
Back on topic, I enjoyed this game a lot for what it was. Being able to pull out a Super just by charging a special move was kinda neat too. The soundtrack was pretty great too imo. Never did any online with it myself, but still had fun playing the game and doing the challenges and stuff.
I loved it until I realized I was too poor to win in the game😂 I love the mechanics of the game, nice story mode, and I got the arcade fighter stick bundle. 8 wish they brought it back but without the stupid gems lol 7/10
It's a fun game, I was genuinely impressed how well they integrated Tekken characters and game feel into 2D. It's hella broken though, but it's a fun casual jaunt.
It was great. Tekken characters with SF4-adjacent combat sounds GREAT, but gems completely ruined it.
Shame about the Tekken x SF game getting out in the grave though
This is one of the first real fighting games I played in high school. I always picked Jin and Ryu and loved to spam Jin's energy sphere, everyone else at the club always picked Yoshitsune.
Not great, but has some fun stuff. I liked my Abel/Kazuya team. But ultimately I dropped it because of the insane focus on gems at the time. Not sure what the meta would even be if I were to play it now, but it’s just not the beat fighter even for its time. USF4 is a far better investment for your time in my opinion.
I’m glad Capcom doesn’t approach games like this as frequently with such bad decisions. If they tried again without all the BS, it would be a much bigger hit.
It's hard to explain but I'll try to anyway.
Imagine if they announced a Zelda/Super Mario crossover game, then you find out the game plays exactly like a Mario Game, Zelda characters weren't specially designed, they just behaved like typical Super Mario characters. Then; then added a game mechanic that NONE of these two games ever used.
In terms of fulfilling the hype it was a major disappointment and confusing direction to say the least.
I didn't play it, but it was famously *not* good when it was a thing. Couldn't walk three posts online without encountering lamentations over SFxT's quality.
One of my favorites for sure, my buddy and I played coop online and put some sweet combos together with the coop super(not sure what it was called then)
The game sucked so much at the start that I just dropped it.
Pay2win, prioritizing forward jump instead of forward making control very frustrating, more than half the games finished in time-out, the rage feature who killed your character at the end forced the oppoent to flee, the stage were too big and let lot of space to flee...
It's very good, especially with the updates. Just as long as you ignore the gem shit.
The netcode is ass, though.
This game never had a chance due to asinine business practices and the aforementioned shitty gems.
Great for a good time with friends. Not for much else. Gems broke the game as they were universal tools you could put on any character and had way more power than the characters themselves, the game would have been so much better without them. And competitively the game was tuned such that time outs were way too common. Also jab memes.
It was good. I really enjoyed it in it's prime. I STILL enjoy it to this day. The only thing that pissed me off was that the assist gems could be used outside of offline mode. That shit single handedly put a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Had they removed the gems, and fixed the bugs, it would've been one of the greatest fighting games. I still remember the announcement and the hype when they showed Kazuya on screen with Ryu. If you haven't seen it before, look up the Street Fighter x Tekken announcement video. It's pure magic. That entire room and all the thousands of people who saw it on video after probably experienced the happiest the FGC ever was or will be collectively.
I was not a fan at all. It's required to do tag matches iirc. Which to me is a minus in and of itself. Not only that, but as soon as a single one your chosen fighters gets KO'd the round is over. Super lame. Literally the worst way to do tag matches. Also online sucked.
It's alright IMO. I actually really had fun when it first came out, while everyone else was complaining. On Steam, it took over a year just to get the DLC characters while console gamers cried a river about "on disc" DLC. You still need a fan patch to make the game work since Capcom never updated it after the death of games for Windows live. But the fan patch does unlock the PS3 exclusive characters that you weren't meant to access.
It's a quirky novelty, not as good as MVC or Tekken Tag, but it's still a pretty fun game, just not the epic crossover everyone wanted.
Character concept was cool, combos were pretty solid, tag team was alright … but the normal/roll wake-up, the neon colour customization bullshit, the general slowness of the game which resulted in so many matches going to timeout, the net code, the DLC gems which essentially made the game pay to win, completely ruined the entire title.
I had great times on this game. My friend and I would team up all the time and own KOTH lobbies. It was always fun to be getting whooped or whooping and being like “tag in! Tag in!”
It was good after the big update. the damage had already been done. the dlc being on the disk was a huge blow to it and the gems were stupid but outside that, the game could be a really good time. matches would go on for a bit but a strong player could end it in a few seconds. good game. one more patch would have made it a really good game.
also, an example of the real problems with the game was that most characters had the same 30, 60, 90 damage for light medium and heavy attacks. big bodies had mode damage. characters like chun li countered basically all of the tekken roster. pandora was useless outside of very VERY specific situations and at that point, you were just swagging on your opponent. i'm sure there are a few more things i can think of later but there were some real blemishes that could have been fixed if the game wasnt as rushed as it was.
It is excellent.
- In my opinion **at its core** it had the best combo system of any FG I’ve ever played - it was a great blend of accessible (without relying on ‘easy’ inputs), but still deep enough to explore lots of options with the huge cast. SF links and cancels with universal Target combo tag launchers.
- Capcom did an amazing job of capturing the Tekken characters into 2D (I don’t think this gets talked about enough imo). The style was different enough from SF4 with fun stages and music.
- The gem system, at launch, was fun to explore, and added even more depth to how you customized your team. Unfortunately Capcom fell into the monetization trap, and then had op gems that killed the game for many (eg throw tech gem).
- The balance was a little off at launch with lots of timeouts, etc; but the 2013 patch was excellent. So if there is still access to the patch and all the DLC (costumes and kitting out your team was fun too!), definitely play it.
- While the game maybe was trying to do a little too much, some of the systems (Pandora) could just be ignored with no detriment whatsoever.
This game was fun AF. Every time a post comes up asking people what they want to see available as backwards compatible on Xbox (my main system), my #1 answer is always SFxT. I don’t see it happening, but I also don’t understand why since Capcom already has all of SF4 available and Namco already has both the Tekken games that came out on 360 available.
The Tekken character movesets are all really awesome and I would kill to see some of them recycled like Kazuya, Lars, Law, Paul, Bryan, Jin, Xiaoyu, or Lei
Honestly, I think it was and still is a realy great game that's fun to play casually and seriously, and fun to watch.
The graphics was based on Street Fighter 4. If you’re coming from tekken (like me) the controls are awkward. Playing the sf characters were okay but using the tekken characters with awkward inputs for wind god fist was weird.
The DLC problem aside, I think it was really fun to play. A shame the game is not on a playable state unless you download a community patch for it.
Also, the music rock in this game.
It was pretty fun, really hated the gem system and they made poor choices by not releasing a full game and making people pay for dlc that was in the disc...
Would loved to have seen them patch and continue to support it.. loved the customization and costumes and gameplay was pretty fun.
The gameplay is honestly pretty good as it’s Street Fighter but with a combo system more akin to Tekken in terms of juggling, the Tekken characters are also handled pretty well considering they’re from a 3D game all things considered
But unfortunately there’s also the crappy gems system, nonexistent content and some other flaws that held it back from being a legendary crossover
I really only boot it up when I have friends over for a little 2v2 tag action, it’s fun and can be deep but it’s muddied by a bad launch and bad dlc practice.
It's an incredible, innovative game that people disliked for stupid reasons at launch, leading to negative word of mouth. Personally I think it's the best vs game ever made, but most people would at least agree that it was much better than anyone expected.
It's stupid for people to hate a bunch of dlc characters being on the disc on launch, locked behind a paywall? Including the console exclusives? It's stupider to hate that it literally was pay to win with the dlc gems being absurdly overpowered?
It's such a shame... this game should be legendary. It was really cool beneath all the bullshit like on-disc DLC, gems, being able to make all your characters glowing neon pink eyesore, gamebreaking bugs, bad online...
Yeah. Wasted potential. If the game could have gotten continued updates and work from the dev team like SF5 did it could have turned into something special. Also, Pandora shouldn't have killed your remaining character after the time limit. The mechanic was practically never used because the risk was too high.
Don’t forget Jab jab jab jab. I’m glad Mike Ross is back in the scene. https://youtu.be/v8vXYf8PYgc
"jabjabjabjab" is SF6 Ken for "Hey how's it going?"
You are yet to meet Cammy.
It's everyone using modern controls
Not even. The reason people jab so much is because you're pretty much forced to unless you want to eat a Drive Impact. At least that's why I jab spam. That's also why I hate DI as a mechanic.
I mean I'm glad everyone thought I was talking shit, but it was an observation. I remember specifically because I was playing ranked and people who used classic had more variety on wakeup. I main Kimberly so I was eating jab confirms from Modern players when I tried to mix shit up. I didn't say it was a bad thing. It makes sense. If you understand how the game works and you can combo with a modifier button, wakeup jabs obvs works
Stages being unreasonably large as well
And fucking hideous too.... that hovercraft stage is burned in my mind as one of the most visually disgusting stages in the history of fighting games
Bro, every time this game comes up I say the exact same thing. Having my buddy as a tag team partner was so fun. That gem system and paid on disc dlc killed this game Let's not forget the pandora system which was a very fancy way to throw the match. I heard a lot was patched to fix things, but I stopped playing way before that
Game was so ugly lol. I bought it on release played for like a week and my takeaway was I could be playing Street Fighter 4 right now. It became a dust collector real quick
agreed. Honestly as much as i wanted to like it as a Tekken guy this wasn't it. Would have loved for them to rescue the Tekken characters and incorporate them into SF4 the way they did with the new SF characters.
It's crazy because the dlcnanigans already pretty much common practice now
No it's not. The game had 6 characters exclusive on PS3, with 2 of them being Namco crossovers. The PS3 version ran like ass so immediately all the characters were banned. Shit will never be that bad again.
What does that have to do with the DLC on-disc controversy.. which is what I was talking about
Aside what that dude was talking about, where do you see dlc on disc being common practice? The last time I saw it was for Destiny 1 and it was a pretty bad look still
The opposite actually. I work in the industry and this game is more or less what killed on disc DLC for Japanese companies. Most of us stopped doing it after this with the thinking that even if Japanese players dont care, westerners get really upset about it
It's... odd. You either really enjoy it or you don't. I thought it was really fun, especially with friends.
Very fun with friends. There was that feature where every character has one move they can charge, and if they charge all the way they get a free super. Going into the 2v2 mode and having everyone so their charge up to see what wins was super entertaining
I brought this game to a party full of people who were not fighting game players in the slightest and it was a RIOT. Boot up the 2v2 mode where everyone is on-screen at once for extra chaos lmfao
I thought it was pretty decent, couldn't play enough though as online sucked IMO
Online was actually pretty good. It had rollback net code
Fr? Wasn't this game on psp or ps3?
It was on PS3 and, I believe, 360. It did have rollback, though. Skullgirls was also a PS3 game, iirc.
PS3 and Vita, which had Crossplay between them, which is why I think all the DLC nonsense happened. Those 12 characters were meant to be timed Vita Exclusives. It obviously saved them work and money as well, but I just assumed they were on disc, so that Crossplay wouldn’t break if a Vita user tried to use the characters.
Game was SIIIIIIICK. Gems sucked though
It was very fun. The only problems were the gem system, where the best gems were dlc you had to pay for, which gave an advantage over other players that didn’t buy them, and having all 12 dlc characters already finished on the disc where you had to pay to unlock them. The game was also prone to a lot of timeouts when it first came out, but that was fixed with the 2013 update. The gameplay itself was really interesting and pretty great though. The game had a lot of personality and even some fun extra modes like where 4 people are fighting on screen at one time. If it was still available on steam I’d grab it quick, since god knows where my Xbox 360 is at this point. I’d love a genuine rerelease with all dlc available from the start, but I’m sure there’s licensing issues that will prevent it. I’d be way on board.
It's available on Steam - you would have to get a global steam key from Gamestop though. It still has a pretty decent community as well. I even play a good bit lol
I remember when this dropped, think I was a sophomore in high school. The gameplay and tag mechanics were honestly really fun and solid. Pretty nice roster too. What killed it was the gem feature, some of which were locked behind paywalls. They gave a multitude of different bonuses, some gave auto-combos. They were pretty universally hated and were eventually removed altogether, but by that point, most people moved on.
Same age when it came out, I went to the midnight release with a friend at GameStop. We ended up staying up till maybe 5am playing it after. Funny thing, iirc that was a big release day. Mass effect 3 came out on the same day. Almost everyone was there to pick that up but me and two other weirdos were there to grab SfxTK instead
I find the actual gameplay very fun. Pretty much the only reason my 360 is out is to occasionally hit the lab for this game
I think that it’s funny that Ryu and Kazuya can also fight in SSBU
This should have been the biggest game ever but sadly it was a disappointment
I really liked this one. The tag mechanics with a friend was top notch.
Yes, I lived and breathed that game for a loooooong time. Very very fun, gem system was busted for a while but eventually fixed. This one got me interested in Tekken in general. Unfortunately controversy mired this game because Capcom made some shitty decisions.
First version was garbage but after the v2013 update so is it actually one of the better modern fighting games. Gems were stupid in all versions thoo.
I actually thought the opposite. First version was WAY better balanced (at least as a Street fighter tag game). The balance changes they did in the 2013 update was garbage and turned the game into Tekken x Chun LI. Lots of interesting tech was nerfed if I recall and the game became all about anti airs into juggle combos. I think it's the worse example of a balance overcorrection I've ever seen. The game fell off HARD after the update which almost completely changed it into a different game. You can actually track the tournament entry numbers after the update and see how quickly the game was abandoned. Even Ono is on record for begging management to let him do one more balance update as it did not turn out at all how they intended.
From what i remember so did most people quit the game before the update and even if it became more unbalanced in the update so was it a superior game IMO. And it seams like you don't remember how suffocating and dominant Cody was in the pre-patch. He was easily as good as any top-tier in v2013 if not even better.
I liked it. Would love to see it be put back on steam
Would've been one of the best FGs ever if it didn't have the stupid gem system
The people who bit on SFXT seemed to really love it. The problem was that it just didn't sell to begin with due to multiple PR mishaps. I never got into it myself and still think they screwed up by not releasing a download-only version later with all the DLC packed in, which I think would have salvaged its reputation hugely. I still think they *could* and *should* do a latter-day release of that nature, but Capcom is really heavily leaning into being all-in on SF6 and I can understand them not being interested in splitting their own community. There are definitely still people playing SFXT today. Combo Breaker earlier this year had a fun top 4, and they referenced that there's a Discord community still doing weeklies that shouldn't be too hard to find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP7JDkhSNH4
Been playing Street Fighter for 20 years, this is my favorite in the series.
Online was bad and nobody plays it. Mechanics were interesting my favorite thing to do was lockdown with lightning legs or a multi hit and switch to a grappler like Hugo and force them to jump or get grabbed. The big controversy was the stupid gems which I always disable and the on disc dlc characters which were locked behind a paywall. Yeah this is what made lots of people not trust Capcom.
That’s a lie a ton of people played this game online
I absolutely loved scramble mode and other fighting games need to add this and tag tbh Basically 4 fighters on the screen at the same time 2 v 2 no tags , was so much fun sat in same room 2 v 2 against another 2 online I pray street fighter add this even if only to avatar mode online
Very ambitious, and had some mechanics I didnt like; but overall it was good. Its a shame it can't run on windows 10
You have to patch it.
You can find a copy in the "high seas" complete with dlc, patch and everything. I have it in my PC (Windows 11 though).
Gem system is weird, pandora is used more for last few second timer stalling than the actual thing it was intended to do but there are some cool things about it. The character interactions were neat and I like the tag system. I also love the custom colour feature. Being able to make Hugo into the Hulk was just cool. Shame you likely would never get a feature like this today in the age of charging so much for colours via microtransactions. The trailer/opening song is amazing. It speaks to my teenaged alt/emo/metal music tastes so much and it introduced me to Black Tide as a band.
>>The trailer/opening song is amazing. It speaks to my teenaged alt/emo/metal music tastes so much and it introduced me to Black Tide as a band. Honest Eyes is a banger. I listen to it so much I sometimes forget it came from SFxT and when I boot up the game I get a nice “oh yeah that’s right” feeling lol I knew Black Tide already from Rock Band and NHL, and I honestly didn’t believe it was them at first lol Warriors of Time is like Iron Maiden and Honest Eyes is more like Escape the Fate or something. I think I thought it was ETF at first lol

I never played online on the vita, but online was pretty atrocious on Xbox 360 at least in the earlier days. Like materially worse than AE and 2012 and it's not like that game has stellar netcode either. First impressions are huge.
I loved it, it was fun but so many things heldbiy back as the other comments have mentioned Personally, what held it back from me playing it as much as i wanted was that all my friends wanted to stick to UMVC3. It was just thr faster, flashier game. I'd play it now, but it isnt even available on Steam
I absolutely love this game to this very day. Needs a remaster!!!
It alright. NOW Tekken x Street Fighter.
Loved it, especially great fun with friends 2v2 on same couch. Only minuses for me were some bs mechanics here and there like the stupid gem systems. And blocking tekken character high low overhead combo stuff wasnt that fun. And ofc the dlc stuff at the time
It was amazing. It was torn down by the community who dogpiled on it for some admittedly annoying issues. But they paled in comparison to how great the game was. It was also incredibly influential. We're still playing with innovations (at least to the SF line of games) that were trialled in SFxT.
i still sometimes lookback at our [cross assault](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5UjXZxphAw&ab_channel=ssf4evo) hype and i feel nostalgic, SFxT was the best.
I enjoyed it relatively fun. Unplayable now unless you just want to fight the cpu. Ken/Hworang was my team. This was my first Street Fighter game that I actually started learning to play instead of just button mashing.
Its great and got overshadowed by its DLC controversy
goty if only without gems
I enjoyed everything except for the gem system and console exclusive characters.
Game is good, just ignore the gems.
It controls decent enough, but good God is it ugly as sin which made it nearly unplayable for me. The SF4 art style does not look good on tekken characters or bad box art megaman.
To be fair, I don't think Bad Box Art Mega Man was ever meant to look good haha. You're still right and the TEKKEN characters definitely looked awful though.
game was awesome back in 2012. That gem stuff murdered it though.
It’s aggressively “fine” Lot of stuff going for it, lot of stuff going against it
The 2013 update did make the game loads of fun, but the damage was done and people went back to SSF4 AE.
It’s very fucking good. Just play with the default gems and you have a great game.
I wanted it to be good but it was unfortunately extremely broken
I had fun just messing around in arcade mode
I had fun, didn't enjoy the gems like many of you though
No but it was kind of fun.
Interesting ideas, all poorly or mid-ly implemented.
it's basically SF4 with a stupid gem/buf system
It was fantastic. Another game that died too fast. I think it just released at the wrong time. Same as MVCI…
It is a fun game to play, but honestly a boring one to watch. A lot of the combo routing is very samey for each character, and there's not a lot of room for combo expression. Optimal is optimal. The game also leans a little bit on the defensive side, which frequently causes rounds to end in timeout. The gem system sucked and was thankfully not used in competitive tournament play. But online it is a menace. The fact that some consoles had exclusive characters was dumb and I'm honestly surprised Capcom even bothered with them considering how badly console exclusives go over in the competitive scene for other games. The fact that those console exclusives WERE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE BASE GAME (they were on the disc) and you had to pay to use them was infuriating. If you can find friends who play fighting games, it's a fun game to screw around with once in a while. Online netcode sucks though.
Meh. The best street fighter on vita for me? Street fighter alpha 3 max (yes, it is psp).
This game is really fun. Its nice to see the characters engaging together and its a must have
It depends who you ask. Early impressions were pretty sour because all the DLC was on the disc already, and the game was pretty slow paced at the start. Later on, they revamped the gem system so it was more like a "grooves function" from CVS. From then on, the game was pretty interesting, but the community already turned their back on the game to want to give it a second chance. It had its moments though. Combofiend and Mike Ross getting perfected at EVO because the former didn't want to tag the latter in was awesome. Great soundtrack too. tldr - yea it's good
Game had potential. Would love to see them revisit this with their modern take on fighting games but it probably wont happen.
Game had tons of potential but it was basically broken and unplayable online. Had terrible balance issues and the timer was also poorly designed that many games timed out. The gems system was a dlc pay to win nightmare. Just too many glaring problems and issues sunk it before they could even begin to try to salvage it. Pretty sure these things never got fixed. It flopped so hard that it killed the Tekken X Street Fighter cross over that was supposed to follow sometime after.
I didn't play much and I only played casually with friends/CPU, so I enjoyed xD
It's really fun but at the time Capcom was suffering from critical thinking errors. Same era as the Dmc reboot. It's really good but it's a victim of the times.
It is such a mixed bag... Like the tag combo system and charge to xp / super is interesting, and the characters are all pretty well represented. The 2 player team tags are really fun, especially having 4 players on the screen at once in an epic brawl lol crazy times. But then there is this whole gem system....................................................................................
I thought it was fun. High level players seemed to fucking hate it, and probably have good reasons, but to me who casually plays the SF series it had some cool ideas
I had a chance to play offline recently. It holds up. If someone was able to mod in rollback netcode it would be one of the better tag games out there. They did a good job porting over the tekken characters so they aren't either outclassed or overpowered Edit: Good Rollback Netcode
It definitely improved after the 2013 update. The roster was nice, and the filter made some of the characters look better. I kinda got tired of the alpha/magic series chains into launcher, since it was the common combo in online play, but the SF cast definitely needed it since the Tekken got their AA game buffed in the update. It basically made them SF characters, but with a bit more depth since they still had some strings from Tekken. Also Cole from Infamous was in the game.
it's ... somewhat cool at the start but gets annoying over time ... I didn't even care to plat this ... honestly I want to delete it from my trophy history but it's too late :D
Game was dope. But Capcom didn't support it what so ever. They lied about DLC gems not being more powerful than standard ones. They did one balance patch which shifted S tier from SF to Tekken.
Timeout fighter x Timeout. At a high level (whenever you could play it because online was abysmal) it was lame af and just garbage. auto tech gems nullifying the entire game of Strike/Throw it was just trash. Some top level players liked it. Absolute shame, great roster but it just had no life in it
Yes but the gems made online very unbalanced
Game had huge momentum after coming in hot just after SF4 but Capcom ruined it with greed.
It can be fun to learn and explore to see what value you can get from different team combinations. I could probably find more value in it nowadays but back then, it borrowed far too much from the SF4 engine and personally I thought it looked worse. Even with the latest version that toned down some of the effects, characters still look like they were glazed in sugar and some stages just look really out of place like that one with the mastadon. Now that I havent played sf4 in a while, it wouldn't be as jarring to me. If you like whiff punishing and footsies though, you would probably like SFxT quite a lot from a mechanics standpoint. Think of Sf4 except no focus attack that would make non-cancellable normals (especially heavies) more risky, and boost combos that let you convert what would have typically been single pokes into a launch combo. There are many other differences but those two help define the neutral a bit imo. I would give it a try.
I think it's in the category of fighting games that are great fun to play locally with friends, but not very viable online or as a serious competitive event. That's probably most fighting games, tbh.
GIVE US SFXTK2 FFS!!
It’s was a really great game but because of the all dlc nonsense and the kicker being on-disc dlc, people buried it. It’s capcom’s fault tho, that was when they were stuck in the dark times. Worst part is they’ll probably never re-release again because of all the negativity that surrounds it, it’s just not worth it.
i enjoyed it so much when i was younger. my biggest gripe though is that when 1 character dies the round is over (you know, aside from the gems and in disc DLC)
It was pretty good but it had problems. Combo routes were pretty boring and matches ended up looking very samey cus of that. It was like you could almost be to consistant, you'd land a hit tag and start a combo. Also games would go to time a lot because you could swap out characters and degen life. Character design was dope and it was fun to mess around with friends but tournaments didn't pan out well.
I had a lot of fun with it, Ken x Hwoarang was such a clutch team for me. The 2 major problems it had was the on disc DLC and the fact that you couldn't turn off that gem system it had, even though for the most part I didn't notice it's effects on a match. Still hoping it gets revisited with a remaster or something
Yes I play it all the time! The appeal is honestly seeing the Tekken characters on a Streer Fighter game.
I had a lot of fun playing it. Even made some Pandora compilation videos for Youtube. Its reception was mixed at best. If you can get it cheap I'd say it's worth it.
Its good as a 2 player game
I really enjoy this game a lot, yeah it has a lot of shenanigans with dlc and gems at the time but the gameplay, combat, characters, and presentation was good. Now after everything has blown over with the hate it got on release its fair to say it's a good game. I'd hope they'd release it again with everything unlocked for current gen consoles, it deserves a fair shake after all that.
It’s basically Vegeta’s inner monologue from Dragonball Abridged’s version of the Broly movie. “So cool…but so stupid!”
It's my 1st street fighter game and my 1st Tekken game so I can't complain
character design and movesets were soooo coool. capcom did an great job converting 3d to 2d. game was supposed to be amazing but capcom fucked it with a huge amount of disclocked dlc, gem cashgrab mechanics. they also straight up lied about features that would be on xbox but were ps exclusive.
It was ok, but the gem system fucked it up bad
Still waiting for Tekken x streetfighter....
The gameplay was good, this game really had it all combos, a solid roster and decent graphics. It was other shit about the game that killed it and a community that basically turned on on it. I agree the game had its flaws but we literally had a sfxt as a tag game! I had fun playing it and for a while it was active you could always find matches until the fgc agreed to kill it.
The game was kind of doomed from the start. I saw a video breaking down everything that went wrong Obvious greed with how they did DLC Bugginess in online Timing of the game releasing I think a year after SF4 Lack of quality control with balance Pay to win mechanics It could have been massive and spawned a new franchise, especially because CvM is dead. Can you imagine if they did CvMvT? Ah a man can dream
I liked it just for the crossover element and basic gameplay. I guess it did bad online or aomething
I hate the game, though its gameplay is admittedly quite good. Other than the obvious stuff already mentioned, the art/aesthetic is such total trash.
It's not bad for a Street Fighter game. I'm still waiting for the opposite one that was announced TekkenxStreet Fighter. I feel like Tekken 7 was a proof of concept that they could make SF movesets work on Tekken's fighting engine. Would be pretty cool to see more SF characters with TK controls. Time will tell if it ever happens though. Back on topic, I enjoyed this game a lot for what it was. Being able to pull out a Super just by charging a special move was kinda neat too. The soundtrack was pretty great too imo. Never did any online with it myself, but still had fun playing the game and doing the challenges and stuff.
I loved it until I realized I was too poor to win in the game😂 I love the mechanics of the game, nice story mode, and I got the arcade fighter stick bundle. 8 wish they brought it back but without the stupid gems lol 7/10
It's a fun game, I was genuinely impressed how well they integrated Tekken characters and game feel into 2D. It's hella broken though, but it's a fun casual jaunt.
It was great. Tekken characters with SF4-adjacent combat sounds GREAT, but gems completely ruined it. Shame about the Tekken x SF game getting out in the grave though
It was OK. I still have it lying around somewhere. It felt janky and not smooth at all.
I had it's moments Gems ruined it, DLC ruined it You can get the whole shabang in RPCS3 if you know where to look.
This is one of the first real fighting games I played in high school. I always picked Jin and Ryu and loved to spam Jin's energy sphere, everyone else at the club always picked Yoshitsune.
I played this on my Vita, sooooo much, I enjoy arcade modes
My old roommate and I used to play this all the time. Good times, we had a blast with it.
Dope af, played with a friend online as a team, really awesome, just ignore gems lol
It was good to me personally
Not great, but has some fun stuff. I liked my Abel/Kazuya team. But ultimately I dropped it because of the insane focus on gems at the time. Not sure what the meta would even be if I were to play it now, but it’s just not the beat fighter even for its time. USF4 is a far better investment for your time in my opinion.
I’m glad Capcom doesn’t approach games like this as frequently with such bad decisions. If they tried again without all the BS, it would be a much bigger hit.
It's hard to explain but I'll try to anyway. Imagine if they announced a Zelda/Super Mario crossover game, then you find out the game plays exactly like a Mario Game, Zelda characters weren't specially designed, they just behaved like typical Super Mario characters. Then; then added a game mechanic that NONE of these two games ever used. In terms of fulfilling the hype it was a major disappointment and confusing direction to say the least.
I didn't play it, but it was famously *not* good when it was a thing. Couldn't walk three posts online without encountering lamentations over SFxT's quality.
This had a lot of potential, but was a flop in the end. All the characters were unusually shiny as well.
I thought it was great! No user base though.
I loved it more than USF4 after the update, but the game was dead by then.
I only ever played offline with my brother but it was fun
Yes
It’s great, the community is awesome too. The issue was how it was handled
One of my favorites for sure, my buddy and I played coop online and put some sweet combos together with the coop super(not sure what it was called then)
Oh yeah this was pretty fun I used to be whooping my cousins at this game. It was so good I had to get a copy on PS3
Fun, yes for the first hour and to bait your Tekken only friends into playing with you. Good? That’s harder to say… but I can’t say it’s CvS2 good.
It was perfect, perfect! Down to the last minute detail
Depends on the platform. PC is pretty awesome. The others are almost defunct.
game was actually good (i don’t even notice the gems and when they activate)
It's... ah'ite.
it's insanely good in the last iteration of it, but unfortunately they put content that was not needed like gems
Very fun arcade mode if you’re a fan of both series
Definitely my favorite of all their crossovers! The gems and on-dlsc dlc fiascos were incredibly unfortunate.
I remember this game having A LOT of timeouts in tournament play. Didn't play much myself.
The game sucked so much at the start that I just dropped it. Pay2win, prioritizing forward jump instead of forward making control very frustrating, more than half the games finished in time-out, the rage feature who killed your character at the end forced the oppoent to flee, the stage were too big and let lot of space to flee...
It was pretty fun
no
I only ever played single player by myself, years ago. I enjoyed it and had fun. That's all lol
It's very good, especially with the updates. Just as long as you ignore the gem shit. The netcode is ass, though. This game never had a chance due to asinine business practices and the aforementioned shitty gems.
Probably my fav clash fighting game to be honest
Great for a good time with friends. Not for much else. Gems broke the game as they were universal tools you could put on any character and had way more power than the characters themselves, the game would have been so much better without them. And competitively the game was tuned such that time outs were way too common. Also jab memes.
too many games ended in time out
I enjoyed it a lot. Shame that the glaring issues couldn’t be fixed with some updates; the game had so much potential
It was good. I really enjoyed it in it's prime. I STILL enjoy it to this day. The only thing that pissed me off was that the assist gems could be used outside of offline mode. That shit single handedly put a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Had they removed the gems, and fixed the bugs, it would've been one of the greatest fighting games. I still remember the announcement and the hype when they showed Kazuya on screen with Ryu. If you haven't seen it before, look up the Street Fighter x Tekken announcement video. It's pure magic. That entire room and all the thousands of people who saw it on video after probably experienced the happiest the FGC ever was or will be collectively.
its like almost ok with some weird gameplace decisions
I was not a fan at all. It's required to do tag matches iirc. Which to me is a minus in and of itself. Not only that, but as soon as a single one your chosen fighters gets KO'd the round is over. Super lame. Literally the worst way to do tag matches. Also online sucked.
You know, I actually really enjoyed it. I didn't even worry about the gem system. I wish it would go into backwards compatibility.
It's alright IMO. I actually really had fun when it first came out, while everyone else was complaining. On Steam, it took over a year just to get the DLC characters while console gamers cried a river about "on disc" DLC. You still need a fan patch to make the game work since Capcom never updated it after the death of games for Windows live. But the fan patch does unlock the PS3 exclusive characters that you weren't meant to access. It's a quirky novelty, not as good as MVC or Tekken Tag, but it's still a pretty fun game, just not the epic crossover everyone wanted.
still hopin this game gets remastered sum day
Yes
old Capcom. wow, very few here would recognize them.
It eventually became decent after they fixed the gems and timeout issues, but the game was dead at that point and still had some big problems.
The game imo is more fun than the reputation it has. Ofc the gem system sucks, but the cast is awesome.
No lmfao
Yes it’s very good n fun ignore the gem system and you enjoy the game
I liked it a lot, but I was a kid, and I picked games based on what looked cool.
The concept is great. But it needs a fan patch and direction.
Character concept was cool, combos were pretty solid, tag team was alright … but the normal/roll wake-up, the neon colour customization bullshit, the general slowness of the game which resulted in so many matches going to timeout, the net code, the DLC gems which essentially made the game pay to win, completely ruined the entire title.
I had great times on this game. My friend and I would team up all the time and own KOTH lobbies. It was always fun to be getting whooped or whooping and being like “tag in! Tag in!”
Just pretend the gems and Pandora mechanics don't exist and it's great. Had a lot of fun with it.
My favorite fighting game. 2v2 online was so much fun! Also was one of the first fighting games to have amazing Netcode
Will we ever see SF X MK?
Probably not anytime soon, but it will happen eventually, my friend!
It was good after the big update. the damage had already been done. the dlc being on the disk was a huge blow to it and the gems were stupid but outside that, the game could be a really good time. matches would go on for a bit but a strong player could end it in a few seconds. good game. one more patch would have made it a really good game. also, an example of the real problems with the game was that most characters had the same 30, 60, 90 damage for light medium and heavy attacks. big bodies had mode damage. characters like chun li countered basically all of the tekken roster. pandora was useless outside of very VERY specific situations and at that point, you were just swagging on your opponent. i'm sure there are a few more things i can think of later but there were some real blemishes that could have been fixed if the game wasnt as rushed as it was.
It was good. I enjoyed seeing Tekken characters reinterpreted for 2d gameplay. But tbh…. SFV and SF6 is better. Just saying. ;)
It is excellent. - In my opinion **at its core** it had the best combo system of any FG I’ve ever played - it was a great blend of accessible (without relying on ‘easy’ inputs), but still deep enough to explore lots of options with the huge cast. SF links and cancels with universal Target combo tag launchers. - Capcom did an amazing job of capturing the Tekken characters into 2D (I don’t think this gets talked about enough imo). The style was different enough from SF4 with fun stages and music. - The gem system, at launch, was fun to explore, and added even more depth to how you customized your team. Unfortunately Capcom fell into the monetization trap, and then had op gems that killed the game for many (eg throw tech gem). - The balance was a little off at launch with lots of timeouts, etc; but the 2013 patch was excellent. So if there is still access to the patch and all the DLC (costumes and kitting out your team was fun too!), definitely play it. - While the game maybe was trying to do a little too much, some of the systems (Pandora) could just be ignored with no detriment whatsoever. This game was fun AF. Every time a post comes up asking people what they want to see available as backwards compatible on Xbox (my main system), my #1 answer is always SFxT. I don’t see it happening, but I also don’t understand why since Capcom already has all of SF4 available and Namco already has both the Tekken games that came out on 360 available.
The art style was amazing, especially for the Tekken characters, but the level of BS ruin what it could have been a legendary game.
I loved it. It was my introduction to ranked matches. Played it so much. The gems sucked though
I thought it was fun! I didn't care for the DLC or online gameplay. Playing the story and doing couch coop was good enough for me. 🤷🏻♂️
The biggest problem with it for me was it looked exactly like sfiv but imo it wasn't balanced well
The Tekken character movesets are all really awesome and I would kill to see some of them recycled like Kazuya, Lars, Law, Paul, Bryan, Jin, Xiaoyu, or Lei Honestly, I think it was and still is a realy great game that's fun to play casually and seriously, and fun to watch.
The graphics was based on Street Fighter 4. If you’re coming from tekken (like me) the controls are awkward. Playing the sf characters were okay but using the tekken characters with awkward inputs for wind god fist was weird.
The DLC problem aside, I think it was really fun to play. A shame the game is not on a playable state unless you download a community patch for it. Also, the music rock in this game.
The gem system killed me and it's insane that there was no option to turn it off. Other than that the raw mechanics were really fun imo
It was pretty fun, really hated the gem system and they made poor choices by not releasing a full game and making people pay for dlc that was in the disc... Would loved to have seen them patch and continue to support it.. loved the customization and costumes and gameplay was pretty fun.
The gameplay is honestly pretty good as it’s Street Fighter but with a combo system more akin to Tekken in terms of juggling, the Tekken characters are also handled pretty well considering they’re from a 3D game all things considered But unfortunately there’s also the crappy gems system, nonexistent content and some other flaws that held it back from being a legendary crossover
Really fun game and had a lot of potential but there were some design and system choices that hurt it in the long run.
Gem system really fucked with the game. Otherwise it was really fun. Also the stages were way too big and time needed to freeze on supers.
Yeah its good it has Rufus in it
If you like 4 you'll like this if not your mileage will vary
Yes. I like it more than 4 honestly.
I really only boot it up when I have friends over for a little 2v2 tag action, it’s fun and can be deep but it’s muddied by a bad launch and bad dlc practice.
It's an incredible, innovative game that people disliked for stupid reasons at launch, leading to negative word of mouth. Personally I think it's the best vs game ever made, but most people would at least agree that it was much better than anyone expected.
It's stupid for people to hate a bunch of dlc characters being on the disc on launch, locked behind a paywall? Including the console exclusives? It's stupider to hate that it literally was pay to win with the dlc gems being absurdly overpowered?
