No exclusive fighters in Xbox Street Fighter X Tekken

While the PlayStation 3 and Vita versions of Street Fighter X Tekken are seemingly jam-packed with platform-exclusive characters, it looks like the Xbox version will be stuck with the original roster, reports Xbox 360 Achievements.

Tekken and SF
Got alot of their recognition from the Playstation Brand

[tehpees3]

Technically Tekken gets associated with the playstation brand. Street fighter became a huge hit on super nintendo.

[MaxXAttaxX]

Yup. But a lot of it also had to do with controls. Super Nintendo had the best controls available at the time. Then PlayStation came along.

Of course, both are associated with arcade as well, but Tekken is the one most associated with PlayStation.

[Darth Stewie]

Mainly Tekken but I get your point. With the fact that both SF and Tekken have been associated with the PS Brand more than the Xbox brand but it mainly has to do with Microsoft not having a 1st party character to fit in the game(just like MK) than its a no brainer as to why Capcom and Namco is not doing anything.
Atleast the game is being made on 360 for others to play.

[Baka-akaB]

SF was never truly associated with the ps brand . SF was pretty much always released everywhere . Snes , megadrive etc .

If anything , the ps1 and ps2 version of capcom's 2d fighters were crap , given how the saturn was perfect for 2d games , especially with the dedicated ram cartridge , and had the better pad for fighting games (along with the neo geo) . And the dreamcast was the only one with enough raw power and memory to handle near mint arcade version of arcade games such as CvS , sf3 etc ...
Capcom just released whatever they could on the most popular console at each era that's all ... when it comes to street fighter

PS : I doubt it's so much about lacking characters , from MS' side . Cole's infamous hardly fits SFxT and it's still there .

[Gohadouken]

Lol weird and hissy fits disagrees . The saturn versions of 2d fighters were as a matter of fact superior to their ps1 counterpart . The saturn always handled 2d better and did have for some game an expensive extra cartridge to get a near arcade version of snk and capcom games .

And there is no way SF3's , Capcom vs SNk 1-2's best versions on consoles , till the HD re-release , or even the capcom collections , werent on dreamcast or later on xbox .

The ps1 and ps2 version were just weaker ports .

[hkgamer]

I think the only reason that Street Fighter games, or any fighting games are not recognised on the XBox is because of the crappy D-pad it has.

PSone had pretty decent ports for the alpha series. but just couldn't handle the vs. series at all because of hardware limitations.

For the PS2, well capcom just hated the thing and hardly released a single exclusive for it.

[Redempteur]

i have to agree with Hkgamer..
i tried to play on the xboxpad with KOF13 recently and i messed up all my combos .. the pad is just Bad for fighting games..

[ZippyZapper]

SF is more well known for SNES and arcade, not Playstation. Tekken yeah but not SF. How is it that SF is considered a Playstation brand? I don't remember anyone playing SSF on a Playstation.

[TenSteps]

Is that Kuma with a Mika costume...

kickass.

[zeal0us]

Just like Mortal Kombat....sigh :(

[Fishy Fingers]

Pretty silly they couldnt hammer something out between them (MS and Capcom).

But it's times like this we look to the $$$ isnt it, or at least thats usually the case when a certain console has the extra content ;)

[tarbis]

I'm sure M$ can drum up more money than Sony. Thing is, Sony has better content than M$.

[Fishy Fingers]

Ha, I was taking the p***, states in the article that MS/Capcom couldnt meet an agreement. Shame really, would of been nice to see Marcus in a fighting game.

[Studio-YaMi]

Microsoft doesn't even have exclusives coming out for 2012 that I know of & in 2011 they only had like what..2 or 3 games all year ?? and you're proclaiming that it's about $$$ that sony paid for that MS couldn't ???

Everyone knows when it comes to money,microsoft is like a money tree,but face it,they just don't like there core fans as much as sony does,get with the program Fishy.

Yes I would have liked to see Marcus fenix and Master chief in the game,but you have no one else to blame but MS.

@iamgoatman
you are the fool here if you didn't catch my drift
I was actually speaking about money ! microsoft gaming department had nothing to spend on last year other than 2 to 3 games ! so they SHOULD have much more money to spend than Sony's gaming department !

Don't be a blind,this is not rocket science ! MS could have easily reached an agreement with Capcom,but I bet you they are saving those $$ for Kinect games that are releasing this year,you can mark my words on that.

[iamgoatman]

Seriously, blaming everything on a lack of exclusive games is getting old. If you really think this had anything to do with anything else other than money, then you're a complete fool.

[InTheLab]

"Had a deal been reached, Ono said he would have liked to include either Marcus Fenix from Gears of War or Master Chief from the Halo series."

And that's why exclusives matter. Every time a new fighting game pops up, the game's devs have a huge number of potential fighters to pull from Sony's catalog, while we're stuck with only Two franchises to pull from, from MS.

Seriously, Chief and Fenix every single time.....

[Veneno]

I don't even know why ppl even come up with MC or MF. neither one has any kind of hand to hand style of combat. they would use guns which is completely out of place in a martial arts fighting game.

[Studio-YaMi]

It could easily be implanted because both MC & MF can melee attack their opponents and they can just make their guns a finishing move that requires you to melee attack first to do it !

It's not that hard if you ask me...

[Redempteur]

1 or 2 melee attack is hardly enough for a fighting game ...
Cole on teh other hand has a lot of attack both close and long range and a lot of powers ( lighting , ice , fire ) to use ...

You need some content to make a character in a fighting game.

[Veneno]

Redempteur is correct and I'm sorry Studio but you're reaching too far. Master Cheif and Marcus Fenix's signature combat is using guns. Nathan Drake uses guns but even his melee, especially in Uncharted 3 is more developed than even those of MC and MF.

Playstation characters are just much more varied and interesting and more in number than anything microsoft can come up with.

[josephayal]

good news for SxT players

[Emilio_Estevez]

I would also vote for Banana guy.

[tripprowe2468]

Do we really need to ask why..

[GraveLord]
