characters such as Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams will
make the transition into the Street Fighter
TM
universe having been re-imagined using the much loved art
style of these seminal titles; while retaining their unique
characteristics and signature moves as they go head to head with
classic brawlers from the Street Fighter franchise in what promises
to be the ultimate match up.
As in Street Fighter IV, gameplay will feature fully realised 3D
character models battling for domination in both new and familiar
highly detailed 2D environments that are brought to life with
engaging animations. In addition to modes such as Versus and
Training that will feature new enhancements to make the fighting
experience more in-depth and enjoyable, Street Fighter X Tekken
will include Tag Team combat where players select two fighters to
deliver knockout assist attacks and special combos.
The announcement, which took place at Comic-Con in San Diego in
front of thousands of Street Fighter fans, was made by the Producer
of Street Fighter X Tekken, Yoshinori Ono, and Tekken series
Director, Katsuhiro Harada. Commenting on the origins of this
project Yoshinori Ono said: “This is history we're making.
Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally
standing on the same stage. This isn't just a showdown between
Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and
Namco Bandai Games. So I'm going to give it my all.”
